"On the way home from a long day of traveling, we found ourselves passing through Starke, FL, ready for a bite to eat. When I tell you we lucked upon this gem.....!!! I assure you this is not your typical, franchised 'wings stop ' and bar. Not only was the beer utterly frigid, the food was piping hot and perfectly prepared. The pretzel sticks were exactly what we needed to enjoy with our cold beers, as we made dinner selections. The pub cheese offered alongside was tasty, but IMO only took away from the awesomeness of the pretzel sticks with the Gold Rush sauce and salt. My husband thoroughly enjoyed the cheese. We were fortunate to have the sweetest server who not only looked after our every need, but offered suggestions on food choices and quickly offered my husband a taste of the signature sauce when he questioned the level of heat. That sauce was a perfect compliment to the monstrous chicken breast, offering a spicy/sweet kick served on a toasted brioche bun that was equally delicious ...and locally sourced from Jacksonville 's own, Jacksonville Village Bread and Bagel. . The burger was cooked perfectly and the waffle fries premium side upgrade were definitely the right choice. Plenty of seating is available for small and large parties, as well as bar seating, if desired. From the moment you enter, tables are prepared for open seating with both drink and food menus available. A 'To Go ' area is marked clearly back at one of the bars, and we noted a few orders going out during our visit. I 'm guessing their take out is equally as impressive as their dine in experience. The owner/operator has definitely taken great pride in creating a local eatery that offers excellent food coupled with incredible service. It is obvious everyone there is working hard to ensure the environment and the product is of high quality. So the next time you 're anywhere near Starke, FL, take a chance and give this Dick 's Wing a try. I promise you won 't regret it! We will definitely be back."
