first couple weeks in Jax

so I am currently in FLA and I have gone to some restaurants! My dad likes to go out to dinner a lot so I don't mind obliging :-) and I did miss some of the food when I was away!

First there is the 3rd Street Diner.....on 3rd street! They are your typical diner, which is hard to find in Florida. And when I mean typical, besides being 24-7, having that tacky metallic look and a large menu.........THEY ARE GREEK!!!! Many diners in NJ are Greek-owned, and its great! You can always find great Greek food on the menus. And yes, of course I get Greek food at this place. They have an awesome Gyro!!!!
So yummy! Great combo of Lamb and Beef, and their tzatziki is sooo good! Their fries are awesome too...you can't really see them though. They are super crunchy and have a flaky outside too that is crispy. Confusing? Maybe, but so delicious! www.thirdstreetdiner.com

And then there is Clark's Fish Camp.
I don't know if you can see, but those are stuffed animals. And by stuffed, I mean animals that were hunted, and killed, and then sent to a taxidermist.....creepy. It is a little difficult to eat at times because of the menagerie of the dead things around, and they are EVERYWHERE! That's just a small portion of the restaurant. Oh yeah, there is also fried kangaroo on the menu :-( kangaroos are my second favorite animal, so I cringe. But they do have fried gator, which is really good. But I'm here to talk about the fried pickles. Fried pickles are showing up on more menus now, but they are the best at Clark's. They have the best seasoning combo on them, and are never soggy; always crispy! They also serve it with this zesty ranch sauce that compliments it so well.
