The food was scrummy! Mildred and New Deal are conjoint twin restaurants. This one tries for a hip yuppy vibe but could be cleaner - Mildred is table cloth, napkins and seniors. If seniors with oxygen tubes eat there, I will trust the safety of their food. A couple of different vegetarian options at New Deal but not so much at Mildred. The waitress also told us later that they could make many Of Mildred 's vegetarian. The pumpkin cheesecake was amazing, better than cheesecake factory. The coconut pineapple cake was okay. 8$ a slice for canned pineapples and not a layer of pineapple jam? Mch mch mch.

Alone arrival, I wasn’t offered whether I was dining in or takeout. It was assumed that I was taking my food to go. I ordered a medium rare burger and was given a well done burger. I wasn’t told about the 12% gratuity that was added to the bill regardless of if it’s to go, in dining, credit card or cash. The cashier assumed that didn’t want my change for my order. The gentleman that seemed to be in charge, he never introduced himself or his title to me was courtesy. The cafe is quaint. I am making an assumption that this is a one off, since this is the first time coming here.

New Deal has always been one of my favorite lunch spots. I was pretty disappointed visiting recently though on a Friday around 1pm when they were out of multiple items on their menu. It seemed everything we had tried to order, they were out of something. Initially, they even claimed the menu we were given “was old.” One of the quiche specials they told us was available, was then unavailable after we had already ordered. One of the cocktails we had ordered was then unavailable, “because they don’t prep the bar until later”, even though it was on the menu. A soup was given to us because they were out of the other soup we had ordered. Multiple things that were just surprising because we were initially told they were available. Just disappointing. I will be back again because what is offered is delicious but a different experience than what I’m used to.

I’m not one to normally leave reviews, but this one experience takes the cake. I’ve never experienced such poor service at a restaurant in my life. New Deal Cafe refused to provide service after both awkwardly standing waiting to be seated then taking a seat at the last available table before they were all gone. The servers repeatedly walked by and glared, but refused to acknowledge my wife and I. I stopped one eventually after repeatedly being ignored by them all and her reaction was as if I wasn’t supposed to acknowledge them in return. I asked if we are supposed to seat ourselves or wait to be seated to which she responded, “I guess you can if you can find one.” Will not be going back. Worst restaurant experience in Gainesville in over 10 years living here. Strongly do not recommend.

Friendly staff, limited seating. 12% charge automatically added, but it goes to everyone and not like a tip. Thanks pretty cool. However, if you are thinking of vegan options, salad and fries are your choices. Bit steep in price for salad and fries.
Excellent service, food are great, you guys have to try their chocolate corruption and chocolate PB cheesecake desserts… but beware you guys might enjoy too much their meal its hard to make room for dessert. Unless you make it to go LOL like what we did We ordered calamari for appetizer, classic burgers both well done with fries on the side and the other was salad and chicken tenders and fries for kids meal. Everything tasted fresh especially the salad and the burger was tasting fresh and juicy i just felt it was seasoned very well it doesnt need any condiments at all . Definitely will be back and somewhere i will take guests to. Fyi: I also love that they make sure they clean regularly as when we left the staff were moving frames and wiping corners of wall edges especially by the customers table area. Great to see that when you actually go to a diner
Kid-friendliness: They have kids menu, cant remember the options but my son got the chicken with fries and sprite, he did ate his order for a picky dude he is
Wheelchair accessibility: Spacious area to make room for people who needs wheelchair access
Stopped in for a late lunch with our teenage daughters. We shared the fries basket, 2 of us got the tempeh sloppy Joe, 1 got the quiche of the day, and 1 got the special chef's salad of the day. Everything was delicious and excellent quality. The lettuce in the salad was super crisp and fresh, and we all really liked the curry lentil soup. Service was great, everyone was friendly, and the food came out quickly. AND the prices were reasonable too! We will definitely be back next time we are in town! Thanks for a great family meal.
Vegetarian options: Lots of salad options, a roasted veg sandwich. Today we had the tempeh sloppy Joe and it was great! Also the curry lentil soup of the day was delicious.
Kid-friendliness: It's not a fancy place so I think families with small children would be comfortable here.

They really do have the best burgers, and grown at the beef teaching unit right here in town.
