Restaurants in Gainesville

“Service is always great and of course the best Mexican food in town 🤤”

“Went for lunch yesterday, and found the best chicken sandwich around.”

“a group of teenagers I was in town with wanted to go to PF Changs. I had never actually dined there. Food was great. Lots of great, healthy choices for those with special dietary needs. I'm a bit more traditional, usually choosing between two or three dishes. My choice was delicious, and out of all my usual haunts at home when we do Chinese, the most flavorful. I used to manage restaurants for many years before I switched careers, and have been slightly disappointed that some service standards seemed to have gone by the wayside. Still, our service was good, and our server was very efficient.”

“The food was very good.You can tell it was cooked fresh,because it was good and hot.It didn't taste like it set under a heat lamp for hours.I visit the place at least twice a week.Everything I have ordered has been on point.I have never been disappointed.I would recommend this place to all my family&friends.”

“We are beyond thrilled with the experience Tinker gave us for our wedding! They catered a beautiful buffet for us, and the food was absolutely delicious. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Our guests absolutely loved the food! What made it even more special was the kindness and friendliness of the entire staff. They made us and our guests feel so welcome and taken care of, handling everything with such warmth and professionalism. I want to give a special thank you to Karen who was so accommodating and helpful throughout the planning process. Being able to celebrate right at the restaurant created the perfect atmosphere. We were able to relax in an intimate setting and truly enjoy our guest and wedding. Tinker truly went above and beyond to make our day stress-free and unforgettable. We are so grateful to the entire team and would highly recommend Tinker to anyone looking for incredible food, outstanding service, and a beautiful space for their celebration! Thank you again for everything!”

“The scenery and the food are amazing! Love the staff here.”

“Clean food truck , friendly staff, and the burgers were delicious. Would 100% return. Give it a try . You won’t regret it .”

“Gainesville, VA location is always on spot. Friendly staff, fast service and delicious food. Last night was cold and dreary, but Arlin and the staff whipped up two perfect bowls and a fantastic pita and had me on my way quickly. My family is never disappointed with this location, keep up the great work. If you have never tried Cava, give it a shot!”

“Delicious healthy option! We loved it for lunch so much that we ordered it again for dinner!”

“My best friend and I have been dying to try Fufu and Egusi because it’s been all over TikTok and when I stumble upon this place and read all the reviews we knew we had to try it ! We’ve have similar food before like Brown Stew Chicken but not from this place ! We ordered the Fufu and Egusi, Brown Stew Chicken with Jollof Rice, Cabbage, and we were lucky enough to try their Mac & Cheese (which was also raved about), and I ordered their Okra Soup with Fufu & their raspberry leaf tea ! For starters I usually never finish my drink before my food comes but this raspberry leaf tea WAS SO DELICIOUS AND REFRESHING ! I ended up getting another one before leaving. The Fufu and Egusi, Okra Soup, Brow stew chicken, Mac & Cheese, and Jollof rice DID NOT DISAPPOINT! My best friend and I love FLAVOR and their food was not short of it ! The owners were amazing and even offered to let us have a sample before ordering but we just went ahead and ordered an I’m glad we did. Like I said we’ve had brown stew chicken from other places but this chicken was so delicious and the Jollof rice had such a perfect amount of heat that went so well with the chicken and Mac & Cheese. We’ve never had fufu, Egusi, or okra soup before but let me tell you it by far exceeded our expectations. Like I said we’ve been seeing it all over TikTok and we were hoping it wasn’t just a “trend”. THEIR FOOD DESERVES ALL THE HYPE. The owners, the food, and the tea was all amazing and we will definitely be back! This place a the owners deserve all the credit for their hard work and delicious food ! You can really tell they love what they do and it for sure shows in their food !”

“Out of this world vegan food! If you've been looking for a fierce vegan spot then baby you have to stop by!!!”

“Absolutely amazing service! I came here for the second time and took my friend who had never been for his birthday. All the staff members were incredibly sweet, especially our waitress Jimmy Bynum. He was incredibly social and also very polite. They even brought out cookies and a candle for my friend’s birthday. Even better that we happened to come at the same time as Coach Spurrier for dinner. Overall great staff, amazing food, and great environment.”

“This place is amazing, fresh ingredients, huge menu and every dish is made with extra care. I could eat here every day.”

“We had a great dinner tonight and our server, Drew, was very friendly. She took the time to chat and talk about the food. 5/5!”

“Absolutely delicious! My husband and I had an amazing experience — the service was quick, friendly, and efficient, and the food came out fresh and full of flavor. We shared medianoche sandwiches, desserts, and a café bombón, and everything was perfect. Highly recommend Mi Apá for anyone looking for great food and even better service!”

“I had an Amazing London Fog tea with honey this morning!! The only problem was that between the lavender buds on top and the flavorful Earl Grey tea, I couldn't tell if I was supposed to be relaxed or energized. 😁🤣”

“Delicious healthy option! We loved it for lunch so much that we ordered it again for dinner!”

“Just had a reunion meetup at Swamp Head Brewery and it was great! Nick Dunn was great in communication and reserving space for us. Staff was amazing and the indoor/outdoor option worked for everyone!!!!”

“Best Salads in town ?”

“AMAZING! their gf pizza is superb”

“We have gone by Big Mill’s for years and said one day we will have to check them out. Well today was that day. We are elderly and while running errands we decided today was the day to check out Big Mill’s. My husband loves trying Cheesesteak sandwiches wherever he sees them on the menu. My go to is a Patty Melt or Reuben so I was happy. We walked in to a room full of people talking & enjoying their food. We were greeted at the order window by a very sweet young lady who was very helpful since we told her it was our first time there. When we questioned a size she made sure to show us what that size was & explain it to us. After we placed our order to go she said we were welcome to have a seat & even gave me a cup for water while we waited since I didn’t order a drink but my husband’s came with one. As we sat there reading their great menu and the incredible list of shakes they offered we noticed if no one was at the counter ordering she was wiping down the tables & clearing baskets when someone was done with their food - she was non-stop and so friendly to everyone. Our first impression of Big Mill’s started with this young lady. Well done Big Mill’s. So only after a short wait we took our order home. My husband got the Big Philly cheesesteak, he eats half and saves the other half for tomorrow’s lunch. I got the Patty Melt and saved my half for tomorrow’s lunch as well. We also got their crinkled fries and cheese curds. Which I love to try wherever I see them on a menu. We just finished our lunch & I just had to write this and share with all. I never ever do this and that’s probably why it’s so long. Sorry about that. Did I mention we are elderly.😁 My husband said this was the BEST Philly Cheesesteak he has ever had, outside of Philly. My Patty melt was great as well and full of flavor, cooked perfectly with the grilled onions and of course on the best grilled/toasted bread. The French fries had a great seasoning sprinkled on them and the cheese curds were the real deal. Soooooo, my final comment, I promise, Big Mill’s is GREAT. The service, the food, the welcoming atmosphere, just the best. Big Mill’s will be our go to place for the Philly Cheesesteak and Patty melt but we are going to have to try some of their other sandwiches since they all sound wonderful. Thank you Big Mill’s. Wishing you continued success. A very happy customer.”

“Best restaurant in S.W. Gainesville, everything they make is delicious. Thanks Linda Vista for feeding my Family, Howard”

“Love it!!”

“I went in and ate alone. I had Nonna's Spaghetti with a garden salad. The best Spaghetti I have eaten at a restaurant. The foccia bread was seasoned just right with rosemary. The honey balsamic glaze was delicious. I drank a glass of Moscato with my meal. I had flan inhouse and took home tiramisu. The waitress Sharmenda was absolutely wonderful. I will be back with my family. Thank you all so much for a fantastic experience.”

“Took my boys in a tour of UF and our guided recommend we grab a bite here. The tacos did not disappoint! Everyone enjoyed their meal and our waitress was wonderful. The owner made sure to make his rounds and check on each table during our visit.”

“Great food and wonderful service!”

“Always delicious!! Love their food and coffee! ☕️ check out the specials!!”

“Got the bulgolgi hot pot and crab rangoons and it was delicious and our waitress Kate was friendly and knowledgeable.”

“Me and a buddy from work went for lunch and man this place was cool! You walk in it’s got that old school vibe, you’ll see in my pictures! Especially for me being middle-aged I love looking around at all the stuff. Now onto the food! Now I love me some pizza! I’m from New York, but I love to try everything because a lot of these places make all different kinds of pizza and I just love it! My Buddy had a curry chicken pizza and he loved it. Never heard of it before lol. I had bacon and ham and it was really good! I took a bunch of pictures of the pizza and the restaurant so check it out and definitely go try this place because I’ll definitely be back!”

“This was my first time here and it was absolutely amazing. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was great, and I would highly recommend this place to all UF students!

PS: I just finished my meal and the portion was huge — I feel like I won’t need to eat meal for two days!”

“Ford's garage fries, crispy yet soft on the inside. Flaky and peppery with a perfect balance of salt to compliment it. Hard to get on point fries, however these people accomplished it. The burger is larger than you would expect from a visual standpoint. It has fresh ingredients. I had the bison instead of the standard beef. It's freshly ground instead of ground beef. So as opposed to the patties being frozen coming in it's slabs of meat that they grind and then cook. The medium well option that I went with I recommend highly. They seared it on the outside and cooked at medium on the inside. The char has good flavor to it and the barbecue sauce has a very nice marriage with the cheddar cheese and the applewood smoked bacon. The romaine lettuce adds a nice touch on the bottom of the burger instead of the top. It's overall a very hard Burger to beat by any other restaurant. I very strongly recommend Ford's garage to any nostalgic burger lover.”

“The Onion soup is amazing along with the Sushi ! 5 ⭐️”

“I found this hidden gem last year and eat here at least twice a week since they opened. The food is the best Asian cuisine I’ve ever eaten! The atmosphere is warm and inviting and the owners Bennie and his wife Fannie treat each customer with ta friendly and respectful atmosphere. Their attitude is also reflected by the staff. The prices are very reasonable and portions generous. A hidden gem!!!!!!!”

“Happening place, very busy, staff was great and cordial, made some good recommendations. Very well prepared dishes, my daughters and I enjoyed the food very much. What could have been better? The air conditioning was running at full capacity and it wasn’t enough fresh air, specially at our table close to the open kitchen. It’s early August so it’s understandable. I’m coming back again later this fall!”

“best coffee shop/food in Gainesville”

“What a great diner! The food was delicious, the staff was friendly, and the coffee just kept coming. My friends and I have found our new breakfast spot!”

“Charles is amazing”

“Brianna is the best, the soup and salad with mini pizookie was a great deal. Can’t wait to come back for another round. The restaurant and the bathrooms appeared very clean, service was phenomenal.”

“Had a wonderful pre Christmas family dinner and loved everything! Service was excellent as was food, cocktails and wine! My filet was tender and flavorful!!”

“Excellent Beef Brisket! Great wait staff, friendly and attentive!”

“Had an exceptional dinner food wise and service wise . Ryan was a very nice, attentive waiter . Was such a nice experience that I would recommend .”

“I had a very good experience going here and they have very good food! Thank you!”

“And absolutely outstanding culinary experience. The chef has created a truly unique gift that combines art and flavor. The service was phenomenal, the food was so unbelievably good and I can’t believe more people aren’t talking about this gem. 100/10 Went for a birthday dinner and they went out of their way to make the birthday person feel exceedingly special .”

“Hands down the best Asian in Gainesville and I have lived here 12 years. I would actually put it up against any Asian place in New York. Not speedy, because everything is fresh-made, right down to the wontons in the wonton soup. Dishes are very nicely spiced rather than slathered in sauce. Ingredients are high quality, from the bok choi to the beef. Please, PLEASE stay in business.”

“The food was absolutely fantastic.”

“Good food and service. What more do you want?”

“Great food, fast, friendly service.”

“Love the food… great deals on food and an employee named Shaun that was do accommodating, he made this visit a hit to eat here”

“Their chocolate milk is the best, I always think of it. The food is ok, somehow the guy up charge me even I want to share one glass of milk for me and my brother. Still end up being charge for 2 glasses.”

“Waiter impressed me by multitasking several different items as well as taking my order and remembering it correctly the cook was phenomenal as well the cook had our order correctly made in under 20 minutes very great service awesome manners”

“Always good. A classic. Nostalgia on every plate, with whipped cream and the best strawberry syrup on earth. 🥞🍳🍓🧇🥓☕”

“I would recommend Wawa’s for everything but their ice tea . Their ice tea leaves a lot to be desired and you know how we need our ice tea here in the south. It taste like instant tea 🤢(Gainesville,Fl. )”

“Awesome people in there very helpful”

“Was clean inside and food was hot and delicious 🤤”

“Drinks are delicious and so refreshing. The owners are amazing people who make the experience from the moment you walk in feel so welcoming and homey. It’s a weekly staple for us!”

“I ordered a pepperoni pizza and received a cheese. The delivery driver just left the pizza on the porch. No knocking or calling. I didn’t know it was out there. It was cold by the time I realized it was there. I get pizza from here all the time and it’s normally amazing. this was the worst”

“Amazing experience & food!”

“Stopped in for the first time while visiting Gainesville and this place is great! super clean, very friendly and knowledgeable staff, and stellar coffee. The Smoked Mexican Mocha is a solid 10/10. Will absolutely be back!”

“This is definitely a place I recommend. It's has a really cool and unique vibe to the place. The food was really good. Better then I expected. Us adults had shawarma for the first time ever and my son had a kabab meal. The hospitality was A+ The nice lady at the restaurant definitely made it a memorable experience for him.”

“Please come visit Las Americas Bakery! I absolutely love this place! If you’re looking for authentic Colombian/Venezuelan cuisine this is the place for you! There is a wide variety of different types of food to choose from! (I.e: soups, empanadas—better than Mi Apá!—chorizo (sausage), arepas, sandwiches, and MORE!) there are also bakery items, like Flan, Arroz Con Leche (rice pudding), and so much more. I recommend the Beef Empanadas, Chorizo & Cheese empanadas, and try their Arepas! If you want something sweet they sell “Chocolatina Jets” which are fun-sized chocolate bars or the Cocosette! This is a great place and I’ve always had a great experience here with food and service”

“It was definitely a new experience for me, but I would visit again”

“Tela is one of my favorite spots on University Ave! Their quesadillas are seriously delicious: cheesy, flavorful, and cooked just right every time. The portion size is perfect for a meal, and they always taste fresh. The atmosphere is laid-back and welcoming, and the staff is super friendly. It’s a great place to grab food with friends or stop by for a quick bite between classes. Definitely recommend if you’re in Gainesville and craving a good quesadilla!”

“we had a appointment at Shands and decided to have an early dinner. we started with the grouper fingers which were excellent. For my dinner I had the fried green tomatoes and she crab soup. They were both delicious 😋 Hubby had chicken sandwich and fries which were both good but he wishes he would have gotten something else like the shrimp etouffee. We will definitely be back. Our waitress was an absolute sweetheart sorry I forgot her name. But highly recommend!!”

“Tacos 352 is so underrated! The food is absolutely amazing!”

“Absolutely love this place. Every time I come I get a BYO pizza and it never disappoints. I try and get something a little different on my pizza and no matter what I get it tastes great. I will keep coming here!”

“Had the largest bowl, amazing variety, so many excellent flavors”

“Sang and our server Sidney went above and beyond with recommendations, they were so accommodating and kind and made sure to tell us all about the menu because we had a lot of questions. We had my dog Honey with us and they also brought him water too and we sat on the patio. Our food was absolutely amazing too!!! Overall a great experience and we will definitely be back.”

“OMG! Tried these for the first time and the hype didn't disappoint! The donuts are amazing and fresh. The croissant was flaky and delicious as well. Only issue was she forgot my apple fritter, so I'll be trying that next time.”

“Very good customer service … you better go get one…💥💥💥”

“Checked this place out with a couple friends and was totally impressed with their range of unique gifts and displays 🤩 I purchased a shampoo bar and some wax melts that I know I’m going to enjoy. Would definitely recommend a visit, get some delicious coffee and walk around their super cute shop!”

“We have become repeat customers and decided this is our new favorite sushi and ramen place! Service: the staff is always friendly and attentive, took out allergy concern very seriously and double checked everything with the chefs. Food: the quality is consistent, the ramen portions are generous, and I appreciate the sushi rolls all have distinct flavors. I personally love the takoyaki which have come out fresh and piping hot every time. Atmosphere: anime posters on the walls, very tidy table and chairs layout, lighting that isnt too bright or too dim. The bathrooms are also very clean.”

“Excellent baked goods, unbeatable coffee, spectacular sandwiches, incredible prices, and friendly people with great conversation.”Hand-kneaded bread made fresh daily. We’re visiting from Miami and highly recommend this bakery to everyone in town.””

“I am a big fan of Mac n cheese, and this was the best Mac n cheese I’ve ever had. When you add brisket it’s even better. I wish this place was where I live an hour away! Soo good and the staff is super friendly”

“Tony Dilla's is an office favorite and you cant ever go wrong with them. We love the avocado creme its to die for. The service is top notch and our only complaint is that they dont open till 1 and they are closed on Monday. I have to go all weekend and then Monday too without my Dilla's. I cant say enough good things about this truck and the wonderful food they come out with.”

“Moved to Fl in "02" from L. I. Peppinos has the best Pizza by far in G'ville. So happy you opened and two minutes from home!”

“Amazing gyros! (+Vegan options!)”

“Everything here is amazing!”

“The Bull takes amazing care of their patrons. I felt so welcomed and appreciated their extra efforts.”

“I have been going to Mac’s since I first discovered it back in 2009. Every time I go, it’s a treat. Really good burgers fast, despite how long the line looks. So fresh and tasty! �”

“Decided to try Gators Den for dinner and was pleasantly surprised at how great it was!! Had the burger, cooked perfectly. Also had the wings and they were amazing! Our waitress (Ashlynn) was equally amazing! Very attentive and knowledgeable. Will definitely be back and recommend!”

“We went here after we had both our kids at shands. They were in the nicu 2 different years and we always went there! We moved to Illinois so anytime we come to Florida we make sure to stop at country foodly!”

“This is one of the few restaurants here that I can say truly values their customers and cares about their experience. The service is very nice and generous. Mya especially created a very positive atmosphere.”

“Great selection of delicious ice pops. Lots of fun hearing the truck come around the neighborhood too. Little man was concentrating too hard on the flavor to smile.”

“Well after seeing such great reviews for this restaurant. It has only been about a month and a half. And it shows, waitstaff was running around crazy to make sure everyone was accommodated.
Well its situated in a small strip of shops, and parking can be tricky as there are some popular venues and another restaurant there as well. We got there just at the right time, got a up front parking spot, and the last booth. they line the outer area with booths, and have tables in the middle.
Took a couple minutes for our server to get caught up, but we had some amazing appetizers, sushi and dessert was amazing too!! Sushi was amazing, presentation was awesome, and the appetizers came out hot, and the only thing i would add for the appetizers is maybe having different dipping sauces for some of them, 3 different appetizers and the same sauce for all 3.used to something a little different in that aspect, just a suggestion. The appetizers were amazing without sauce..
This restaurant is going to be a top contender in Gainesville !!
Staff is friendly and definitely Energetic with how busy they were and having to keep up”

“Worst sandwich ever and charged $9.80 for it. DONT ORDER A SANDWICH. Dry croissant with a very thin piece of cheese and One very thin piece of meat. It was so thin it was transparent. I thought it was the wrapper left on the cheese! Had to use my nail to peel it up to see. RIP OFF, never again. Can't say about other items...”

“We love First Mag! Best brew, best crew 🙌”

“Great flavor and great people!”

“Dining in, taking out, take and bake always a delicious meal. I’ve had a little of everything over the years and always delighted with every bite! Can’t beat their lunch specials, the rolls are amazing, can’t say enough. If you haven’t tried them, YOU are missing out on some great food!”

“Delicious. My wife got a meatball sub - the bread was delicious, the meat to bread ratio was perfect and the extra sauce was awesome! I got the "Vegas" which is basically just the chef's choice. It was incredible, super flavorful and honestly a pretty fun way to order.

This is going to become a regular spot for me!”

“Excellent food and service”

“Lisa and I have never been disappointed with the food or service. Their specials are great.”

“Yummiest bagels and nicest staff around”

“Rebecca was quite delightful today when she served me. She had a smile on her face and she made me smile too. Always good service, great food. definitely will be back.”

“Recommend the thin crust.... At their best, it's my favorite pizza in town. Unfortunately quality control is not flawless a little bit below par, so five star if you're listening tighten up on that or next time you'll get four stars LOL”

“East End Eatery is my favorite breakfast place in Gainesville! The best breakfast burrito in town! Always fresh veggies, gouda cheese grits that always satisfy, even a Florida native like me. Treat yourself to the best waffle in town. Crisp outside with light fluffy center. Not heavy at all. Real shrimp and grits worth the wait for cooked to order meal. The service is always friendly with a smile. The owner works all areas. She loves to meet customers. Hope you enjoy the experience as much as I do.”

“I have been coming here since JII opened a few years ago. My son has been in clinical trials at the University of Florida for the last seven years. As a tradition, after his clinical visits I let him pick any special desert food establishment. JII continues to be his choice. There are always smiles, joy, and wonderful memories every visit.”

“Quesitos y pastelitos de guayaba son sabrosos!! Los invito a visitar este café tan curioso y de buen servicio!!”

“you can keep your Jif, your Skippy, or your Peter Pan. Teacher's Ade peanut butter in 5 ✋🏾”

“A very good noodles shop in the area. There are plenty of soup bases available for your preference. I had the Sichuan style one and it's very good. The soup is very hot and that's what I like a noodles soup supposed to be. The MSG level is not as strong as I initially expected, which is good.”

“This particular branch of Pizza Hut has seen some outstanding improvement lately. I asked one of the employees about it and they told me that there is a new manager. The next time I went in I met her and could see that she was completely dedicated to the customer. It was great to see. I believe her name was Isabella Rose. Excellent job young lady! Keep up the fantastic work. My wife and I love your restaurant and are so grateful for the improvements that you have made, the focus on customer service and the special little touches like the holiday decorations. Good job! Keep it up!”

“The server Amy at the bar was great she’s always on top of everything food was very good.”

“My service was excellent. The manager (Christy Oliver) herself brought out my food, she went above and beyond in her customer service. The store was clean, as busy as it was it was not chaos, food was made and served promptly. Although I live out of town I frequent this restaurant frequently and have always had EXCELLENT service.”

“Ate at Leonardos last night and ordered a Big Leo. Thought something was missing in the toppings. Couldn’t determine at restaurant. Had a piece for lunch today and found out not a spec of sausage on the pizza. Come on guys, you’re not giving them away.”

“Isabella was so kind and helpful. She gave us a wonderful experience With her inviting personality. The food was good but not as good as the customer service.”

“Excellent service the girls go overboard. I’m trying to help you and get what you like. The food is exceptional. Everybody so sweet. It’s like a team effort. The owners are so special and so good to have a nice place like this in Gainesville. We’re very blessed.”

“Love their cuban sandwiches!!!!! Very affordable prices and great customer service”

“Been a patron for years. Like the food, the prices and the vibe. Last night I ordered takeout. Online menu prices were not included. Upon arrival I discovered my Philly Cheese sandwich was $19.50. What is this, Ruth Chris? Good sandwich for ten. Not 20. Taking a break from Crafty.”

“Tony Dilla's is an office favorite and you cant ever go wrong with them. We love the avocado creme its to die for. The service is top notch and our only complaint is that they dont open till 1 and they are closed on Monday. I have to go all weekend and then Monday too without my Dilla's.

“irst time going to Cava- What a find! There was a line, but no one in line got upset , I suppose because they knew they were going to get WONDERFUL food! Brenda was working the line, and she was really efficiently going- getting every order right, and not getting frustrated. Although there were a lot of people, we didn't wait long, and whatever time it was- it was SO worth it! The food was, (sorry Zoes Kitchen), the best Mediterranean around. The sauces were fresh and bright and very flavorful! Lamb kebab and falafel were tender and spiced well. Lettuces and vegetables were fresh and crisp. I just wish I could have tried everything- I don't think I would have been disappointed! Eat outside if the weather permits. Oh! Also, The ambient music was even good and surprisingly different from the ubiquitous droning normally heard in todays restaurants!”

“I had a waffle with smoked pineapple and coconut custard. That was three days ago and I can't stop thinking about it. I would eat them every meal.”

“The food was very good.You can tell it was cooked fresh,because it was good and hot.It didn't taste like it set under a heat lamp for hours.I visit the place at least twice a week.Everything I have ordered has been on point.I have never been disappointed.I would recommend this place to all my family&friends.”

Thank you again for everything!”

“The Cracker Barrel on Archer Rd is refreshing when it comes to service, and food quality. Hard to dine when you have children under 8 years old, screaming and uncontrollable by parents, but that is not the restaurant’s fault.”

“Love it!!”

“Charles is amazing”

“Absolutely delicious! My husband and I had an amazing experience — the service was quick, friendly, and efficient, and the food came out fresh and full of flavor.

“The scenery and the food are amazing! Love the staff here.”

“Clean food truck , friendly staff, and the burgers were delicious. Would 100% return. Give it a try . You won’t regret it .”

“Gainesville, VA location is always on spot. Friendly staff, fast service and delicious food. Last night was cold and dreary, but Arlin and the staff whipped up two perfect bowls and a fantastic pita and had me on my way quickly. My family is never disappointed with this location, keep up the great work. If you have never tried Cava, give it a shot!”

“AMAZING! their gf pizza is superb”

“We have gone by Big Mill’s for years and said one day we will have to check them out. Well today was that day. We are elderly and while running errands we decided today was the day to check out Big Mill’s. My husband loves trying Cheesesteak sandwiches wherever he sees them on the menu. My go to is a Patty Melt or Reuben so I was happy. We walked in to a room full of people talking & enjoying their food. We were greeted at the order window by a very sweet young lady who was very helpful since we told her it was our first time there. When we questioned a size she made sure to show us what that size was & explain it to us. After we placed our order to go she said we were welcome to have a seat & even gave me a cup for water while we waited since I didn’t order a drink but my husband’s came with one. As we sat there reading their great menu and the incredible list of shakes they offered we noticed if no one was at the counter ordering she was wiping down the tables & clearing baskets when someone was done with their food - she was non-stop and so friendly to everyone. Our first impression of Big Mill’s started with this young lady. Well done Big Mill’s. So only after a short wait we took our order home. My husband got the Big Philly cheesesteak, he eats half and saves the other half for tomorrow’s lunch. I got the Patty Melt and saved my half for tomorrow’s lunch as well. We also got their crinkled fries and cheese curds. Which I love to try wherever I see them on a menu. We just finished our lunch & I just had to write this and share with all. I never ever do this and that’s probably why it’s so long. Sorry about that. Did I mention we are elderly.😁 My husband said this was the BEST Philly Cheesesteak he has ever had, outside of Philly. My Patty melt was great as well and full of flavor, cooked perfectly with the grilled onions and of course on the best grilled/toasted bread. The French fries had a great seasoning sprinkled on them and the cheese curds were the real deal. Soooooo, my final comment, I promise, Big Mill’s is GREAT. The service, the food, the welcoming atmosphere, just the best. Big Mill’s will be our go to place for the Philly Cheesesteak and Patty melt but we are going to have to try some of their other sandwiches since they all sound wonderful. Thank you Big Mill’s. Wishing you continued success. A very happy customer.”

“I came in today & the customer service was amazing. They are always polite and willing to answer any questions I may have. Since being new to the area for lunch ideas everything has always been fresh and delicious. Highly recommend.”

“Great pizza and excellent wings!”

“I highly recommend this brunch experience!!! I had a wonderful mocktail with my flavorful jambalaya. My wife had one of the largest omelets that I've seen and of course, we shared our meals...and still had leftovers. The service was great and the atmosphere was pleasant.”

“Customer service was the best I’ve received from a restaurant of this caliber. I made it online order with a milkshake in it, and the machine was down so they fully refunded it and gave me a free replacement drink. They didn’t have to Give me a free drink, but you’re cashier read the situation properly so that’s what got me to write this review today.”

“Best Mexican restaurant in town, recommend it 100% and waitress Javier is amazing!”

“Towered Rd location, I think Sabrina, ( i have bad memory) but she was very knowledgeable and very helpful. She has a smile and great personality. but i haven't ever had a bad experience with Ellianos. but coffee is always a positive experience. lol. have a great day.”

“Our first time at this restaurant. Service was simply fantastic. Decor of the restaurant is really a step above most of the places in the Gainesville area especially for Indian food. I would definitely consider this a date night location. Food was fantastic and really enjoyable. The garlic naan is enough to make an Italian cry with joy. No question we will definitely be back as this will be our new favorite Indian restaurant in Gainesville.”

“Fresh look and super friendly staff! Food was amazing as well! Would recommend all day long!”

“Went in today and received amazing customer service!! They were so helpful with choosing the ice cream flavors, and so kind!! The ice cream was amazing too of course”

“I have not been a complete fan of Crumbl until now. The Martha Stewart Thin & Crispy Chocolate Chip Cookie got me in the choke hold. Please keep this one on the weekly line up.”

“First time! Breakfast was awesome! Had the bacon and cheese omelet with potatoes and whole grain toast with strawberry jelly. Yum, yum and yum! Ingredients were fresh, cooked just right, and proportions were huge. Would recommend as I will definitely be returning soon. Plenty of room to sit. Lots of people today, but did not feel crowded. Our waitress was very kind, extremely attentive, and provided overall excellent service.”

“Café Voltaire has a cozy and inviting atmosphere that makes it easy to settle in. The lighting is soft, which gives the space a calm and relaxed feel, perfect for studying or spending time with friends. The music fits the mood well, adding character without being distracting. Their menu offers a thoughtful mix of savory and sweet items, and the crepes are especially worth trying whether you want something filling or something light and sweet. As a tea drinker, I really appreciate the variety of teas, which feels like a genuine part of the menu rather than an afterthought. The combination of good food, a strong tea selection, and a warm setting makes Café Voltaire a place I look forward to returning to often.”

“Place was busy so service was ok. I had the coconut chia seed pudding and OMG 😳. Excellent. Wish they served more vegan options and there was more space between tables”

“Possibly the best cocktail menu in Gainesville!”

“Every item you try Is amazing from the meat to the vegetables, don't even talk about the macaroni and cheese and chicken and rice..Even the homemade desserts will knock your feet off. the turkey flats are my favorite.”
