The burger tastes good but the patty is extremely thin , they are cheap with the meat.

This has been on my list for two weeks ever since my supervisor brought one back to the office and it smelled.So deliciousI had to try it. The big go to there is called a chop cheese.And it is phenomenal. The combo comes with a large order of fries.The chopsteak sandwich mixed with your choice of cheese cooked on a flat top griddle or grill and on a hoagie bun. If you are near the gainesville area or the university by all means, stop by and try you won't go wrong.
I ordered the smash burger with pepper jack cheese, spicy peppers, pickles and tomatoes. The burger was definitely worth the drive from home, it was fresh, well seasoned, the patties had crispy delicious edges which gave it flavor and texture. The customer service was GREAT. as soon as you walk in your greeted as if your family. I definitely recommend.

Honestly, the best food in Gainesville I was craving for a Smashburger and they had exactly what I was looking for. I got seasoned fries and mozzarella sticks. This place is definitely a must.

From the first bite of Gator Bodega’s Smash Burger Meal, I was hooked. The patty itself is perfectly seasoned and expertly smashed, creating those crispy, caramelized edges that lock in juicy, beefy flavor. It’s nestled on a soft, buttery bun that soaks up every savory drip without getting soggy, and the fresh lettuce and tomato add the perfect bright crunch to balance it all.
But let’s talk about those Cajun fries—wow. They’re piping hot, golden-crisp, and dusted with just the right kick of spices that dance on your taste buds without overpowering. Each fry is fluffy on the inside, making every mouthful satisfyingly indulgent. And at this price point, the combo feels like an absolute steal: generous portions, top-notch ingredients, and that addictive, spicy-goodness fry that keeps you coming back for more. Gator Bodega has truly nailed the formula for flavor, value, and that extra little kick that turns a great meal into an unforgettable one. Highly recommend!

Stopped by for a late night burger and we will DEF be back!!! I got the patty melt with pepper jack cheese and burger sauce and he got the smash burger. The meat is incredibly juicy and everything is made to order so it’s hot and fresh! Might be the best burger in Gainesville.

Not bad for a bodega in Gainesville..obviously doesn’t hit quite like the ones in New York, but that’s expected. We ordered through Uber Eats, so the food wasn’t piping hot when we picked it up, but the smash burgers were still delicious. Definitely planning to come back and try it fresh next time.
