Checker BBQ on St. Augustine.  BYOB (or used to be) and the owner is a hoot!  Art used to own Palm's fish camp on Heckscher, which was an institution.  The cajun shrimp is the real deal!

What about that sandwich shop east of the stadium that's been there many years, whose name is escaping me?

Seriously .... Clark's Fish Camp. That would be perfect for the show. Not every place the visit has to have the "diner" theme.

Russ Doe's might make sense too. The industrial location and the Tallyrand lunch crowd might be more interesting than the actual sandwiches, but it is a local institution for those that know about it.

What about the Derby House in 5 points? Also this isn't a diner but I love going to Dreamette in Murray Hill for some ice cream.

Agree with Clark's and I have to mention Angie's again. It is a fun atmosphere with local feel and alot of returning customers.

For unique experience, I'd probably go with Clark's Fish Camp.

Clarks or Whitey's Fish camp.
I would say Jenkin's, but it has a few locations.
Gypsy Cab Company

Kickbacks? I haven’t seen the show so I don’t know if it would fit with the types of places they feature, all I know is it’s one of the best places to get a meal if you like a massive variety of consistently good barfood or if you’re just hungry at 2:30 am.

I know, I sound like a phony salesman.
Conformulate. Be conformulatable! It's a perfectly cromulent deed.

Awesome, that's a ton of suggestions! I'll put all of the frequently mentioned ones in an email and send it to the guy. No not GUY but , you know...a guy. The location research guy. Location research analyst....that sounds like a sweet gig, I want his job!

Anyway, this topic has me wanting to try out every little dive-diner in Jacksonville now. I noticed a place on Mayport road today: Nick the greek - seems right up their alley, but i've never been. There's also a tucked away Cuban sandwich shop off Beach blvd & Dean Rd that i've been meaning to try.

So many places to eat, but never enough time, money or stomach capacity!
