7 Best Steakhouses in Gainesville

“Located downtown. I visited here on a Saturday night, I would recommend to have a reservation as it was quite busy. Upon arrival I was promptly seated at our table. Our waiter was great, paid attention to details and recommended a few options. Mark’s has a great selection of wines. For dinner, we order steak and some sides. Unfortunately they were sold out of their chef meat special this evening. I would recommend the Delmonico cut, twice baked potato, and the risotto. The risotto changes daily as it’s a chef special of the day. Lastly, we had to wait over an hour for our entrees to arrive, the manager did come over and apology for the wait time. Thankfully shortly after that, the food was brought to the table.Parking: There is mixed parking here, a paid parking garage which is very close to the restaurant, and free street and parking lot near by.Kid-friendliness: YesWheelchair accessibility: Yes easily accessible“

“Had lunch at Outback in Gainesville. The menu has lots of options. We had the Blooming Burger, and the Blooming Chicken Meal. Both were excellent! And the service from our server, John, was above and beyond. His customer service skills are the best. Next time we go, I will ask for John! Thanks for an awesome lunch.“

“We stopped in for dinner after a day at the NHRA track. We were so impressed with the management and servers. Crazy busy, but everyone was so polite . The staff hustled, and the managers were chipping in! The sign of a well run business. The food? Excellent. We had the sirloin w/asparagus and salmon w/Brussel sprouts.“

“We've been meaning to get to this place for quite a while now and finally got to do it.Started out with the conch fritters appetizer which was really good. Not the best I've had but pretty good.For dinner I had the coconut shrimp tacos and we're absolutely delicious.I will definitely come back here and bring my friends and family. The service was good about feeling drinks when needed, but the attitude was a little stale. Not many smiles on the face of our server. Can't falter for this because we never know what people are going through at the time so we'll have to see about how it goes next time.“

“My family and I took a trip to Gainesville and decided to get dinner here. It was wonderful. We got filet and Lobster tail. My husband got the aged NY Strip. Sides were mashed potatoes, Mac and cheese, creamed spinach. Everything was amazing. Our server Jess was attentive and very kind. I recommend the corn as well. We will certainly be back. It was a wonderful experience. Thank you for the amazing food and memories made.“

“I really loved celebrating my fifth anniversary at this restaurant. Our waiter’s service was great and despite the fact that we didn’t have the bottle of Prosecco we wanted, he solved the problem diligently. The only criticism I have is that the restaurant is too bright, they should make the lights dimmer to give me a more romantic atmosphere.“

“Started with the potato skins they were awesome, just wished they would add scallions. I had the 12oz ribeye combo with shrimp, cooked perfectly. Hubby had the 14 oz prime rib and added shrimp. He did have to send back just to warm it up a little. But the taste was delicious. They don't have cocktail sauce, but our our wonderful waitress made us a batch. And the rolls are to die for. Needless to say, we had leftovers and our dogs loved them.“
