“This is the most amazing pizza place I have ever seen. Unlimited toppings on a personal size pizza that is custom made to order,similar to how subway subs are made but MUCH better! There must be at least 30 different toppings. I love the olive oil pesto sauce! I can't believe it took me a year and a half to try this place, but I will definitely be back! -- Blaze is similar to Uncle Maddios but much better because they give you UNLIMITED TOPPINGS!“

“Great burgers. Fries. Sweet tea. Been ordering the same for 38 years. Yes our family definitely loves Macs Drive Thru Go get some. Just leave room for the rest of us. 🤣“

“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.“

“UPDATED on 6/6/26 -
Well looks like Sonic got a make over for the US's 250th . Building is painted Red,White and Blue. Wife wanted to try one of their limited time slushies. Cocunut was nice and refreshing, cold. And the girl was friendly who dropped it off to us.
The one thing that bugs me everytime i go there, picking which spot to park at and then pull in only to find the order kiosk is down. Then you have to move. Then when you park at one, order then the card payment option is disabled.. Its gotten better here , but these things make it aggrevating at times.
They also have new picnic table seating out there now

UPDATED***** Manager and corporate got back to me within a few days, and we have been back since. Must of just been an off night, they thanks me for taking the time to do review as well as talk to and email them..So i have changed my reciew of them as they truly care about how their customers are treated.“

“Great catering . We ordered over 500 boxes and this franchisee delivered!“

“Monae serviced me and she was an absolute angel. I had a little money and I just wanted to get something small for my 2 year old and so she walked me through the menu, made me feel validated and helped me order with a rambunctious 2 year old. Definitely will come here again!“

“This is the BEST place for a burrito! The staff is friendly and the scenery is awesome! My second visit and I had the Mexicano again! Will return, especially across town!(Worth the drive!) Great sweet tea also!❤️🌯“

“Its pretty sad that we can not get food at Arby's in ocala and have to come to gainesville to eat. Jalen, Robert and Landis are what fast food should be, these gentlemen take great pride in cooking and serving food. Only complaint we had......THE FOOD WAS HOT.....LOL. Great job guys you definitely rocked it, and we will call ahead from now on to make sure your there. Again thanks you everything.“

“Everytime I visited my mother, who lived just north in Turkey Creek Forest, we visited this Subway location, and I was incredibly impressed every single time! I got the impression that a core family or crew ran the place , and they worked very hard to make everyone happy. I haven't seen service like this in years! 5 stars, totally. It's not easy working and/or running fast food establishments, so I had to hand it to them. Very respectful! 💗“

“People always part there that shouldn’t“

“#Checkers is one of the prime examples of the fine dining cuisine available in the great State of Florida“

“Sandwiches are delicious“

“Great service, Janet is the best. Mike on in the PUW is always so friendly.“

“5 out 5 stars! Super friendly staff, our orders are always perfect and hot. LOVE the milkshakes. Took a bunch of lacrosse players there after practice and I think we have a new milkshake tradition!“

“It’s a college magnet in a University City. The parking is a bit of challenge. The convenience of calling ahead or ordering online works very well. You’ll need to drive around the back under a rain cover and they’ll run the food out to you. Not the traditional drive-thru tho. I was dropped off to order and run around to the curbside to be picked up. Snatch, grab, and run…clean and super fun with all the young people. Great energy for an old man! Nice job my friends. I do with CF would grill chicken breast strips instead of just the nuggets.“

“I’ve been coming here many years , but today I ordered a hamburger and when I drove away and finally was able to unwrap it a few moments later it was freezing cold like it just came out of the fridge it literally felt like I picked up an ice cube when I grabbed into my bag to get it . The only thing that was good and made to order were the onion rings I’m very disappointed in this place service recently“

“Great location. Excellent customer service. Just wish it didn’t take 17 minutes to get food from the drive thru window 😩😩😩“

“Very friendly staff and the food was the best I have ever had from an Arby’s.“

“I like it because anytime my son has a doctor's appointment we always stop here.“

“Everything was awesome!!“

“Goooooooooooooooooooooood“

“Stopped by and ordered a veggie pizza for pickup, Seth was great and made sure I received the advertised deal of the day, the inside of the store was clean and he multi-tasked like a pro between making the pizzas, organizing boxes for a display and exchanging friendly banter with me- love Papa Johns for so many reasons!“

“the cheese steak are almost like Philly“

“I was so pleasantly surprised I had to post a review. The chicken was so tender and well seasoned I was very pleased to have tried it.
So I made another visit to try the steak. Again pleasantly surprised. Tender, well seasoned, and NOT GREASY.
GREAT STUFF!$“

“I absolutely love their beef and broccoli w/the fried rice or the chow mein noodles. Sometimes, the noodles are a bit dry, but with their soy sauce added, it's perfect! Great meal to eat, especially if you're in a hurry and just looking for something quick“

“Had THE BEST Jimmy Johns sub from this location. I went looking for an easy dinner and came out with a sub that was the best I've ever had from Jimmy Johns. Don't know what y'all are doing at this location but it is a step above other locations I've been to. Keep it up! Thanks for a great Italiano!“

“Was waiting to order across the street at a certain restaurant named after a board game, after nearly half an hour of waiting with just one person ahead of me in the line, I still hadn't been given a chance to order. So I walked across the street to Subway and was in and out with my food within 10 minutes. Overall, I definitely prefer the quick and speedy service, as well as welcoming staff.“

“Just come here for the Blizzard mostly but do have the Parfait like 10 to 1 and the Banana Split like 30 to 1!! Yummy!! Last time I was here was 5 weeks ago for the gas station!! Been here only 3 times for the past 6 years since I am closer to the ones in Southern Gainesville or West Gainesville just not this one...“

“Stopped by on Sept 8th and returned again this week for my lunch. Thank you for a delicious sandwich April and getting the toppings exactly how I like it. Will return again. It's hard to find a good sandwich artist. Quick efficient and tidy.“
