50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Gainesville

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

“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.“

“Best steaks! Great atmosphere and attentive staff❤️“

“This is the best pizza in Gainesville! Last time I got their hot honey pizza with pepperoni and green peppers, it was awesome! We also spoke to the manager for a while as he was doing some maintenance work next to our table, he was super kind to us. If you only have one night in Gainesville, you can't go wrong here!“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“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!!!!“

“Great food and wonderful service!“

“We went for the first time to experience a sound bath which was amazing! We go there early to check the place out. It was so great! Caleb was so friendly, the kombucha was first rate and I’m picky and the golden milk was the best my friend ever had and has been drinking it for years. Well worth a try. Can’t wait to go back for tea ceremony and more.“

“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!“

“A little disappointed because I haven’t eaten here in a little over a year and today it was the worst meal I’ve eaten in a while. The pink sauce was watery and tasted absolutely horrendous, the pickles tasted like they were dumped in the box with a spoon of cooking oil, and if that wasn’t enough, the cashier didn’t even pay attention to what was ordered and instead thrown a “you never ordered that” remark. Whatever you changed, please fix it because I crave your food so much and it would be a shame not to come back because the quality was bad. Other than this ONE incident; big milks has been my favorite summertime spot for the past three years. On point until this one time but I have faith that big mills will get it fixed and back on track. Their fried pickles are my favorite combined with their ice cold sweet and tart frozen strawberry lemonade.“

“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!“

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

“The gluten-free crust is something I’ve been missing for the 13 years I have been gluten-free. It is thick and flaky and absolutely delicious. I would love to know the recipe! I had Vegan cheese, spinach, tempeh and pepperoni. I was surprised they even had gluten-free pepperoni! It was the best pizza I have ever had and I just wish I lived in Gainesville so I could get it all the time! My only negative is that I wish they had more seating and more comfortable seating. I don’t usually like to sit outside to eat, but they do have a big area out back for that. Thanks again! When I come back to Gainesville in a few months, I will definitely be coming by!“

“best coffee shop/food in Gainesville“

“Charcuterie at Fehrenbacher’s - so good!“

“Literally the best pizza in Gainesville hands down“

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

“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.“

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

“Excellent food and service“

“Wow. Today the food was super delicious! I had the butter chicken and naan , samosas and the mango lassie !! Perfection“

“Beer was awesome, talked with the owner/brewer and you can tell he really cares about the beer he makes. Great atmosphere and really good beer. I had the Queenie, James Brown, Peppered Porter, the Golden Ale and the Bat Adder Helles. Each were unique in their flavors. Many breweries get stuck on the same flavor profile, you won't find that here. I will definitely be back.“

“Went so far above and beyond helping me get a gift certificate for a dear friend - 1000% dedicated to community, care, and top notch YUM! Thank you Fehrenbacher's Artisan Sausages“

“Outstanding service by Alex! We were able to get a table pretty quick and ordered a couple of burgers and beers. Food was tasty and the service was on point. Will add Gators Dockside to the list next time we are in town. Go Gators!“

“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!!“

“Suprette is remarkable for the quality of food and interesting wines selection, above and beyond food is their commitment to justice and peace.“

“My first time coming here and I love the smores iced latte. It was sweet (and I dont like the taste of coffee so I usually add sugar, but didn't have to). People are sweet. also there's a kitty there so that was an automatic 10 ❤️“

“Nice place for weekend afternoon“

“The food was absolutely fantastic.“

“Me and my daughter love this place. We live over an hour away but make the trip frequently to get milk tea and iced coffee. The drinks along with the customer service are excellent. 10/10 recommend.“

“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.“

“Great Gator spot! Good food. Sports etc!“

“Great drink and they do the Unique Rice Roll really yummy“

“Great wine. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. I definitely will go back when back in town.“

“they have the best food and service and their workers are very friendly and helpful“

“The Mint was delightful... The three restaurant people that were there today were each so nice. I particularly go for Indian food on Sundays, and they even had a little conversation with me. I'm so glad that this restaurant is here in Gainesville!!! The prices at the Mint are very reasonable, whereas most prices everywhere have shot up sky high. I ordered the dosa masala, and the sambar soup and the coconut chutney were delicious. The sambar even had a hint of cinnamon, just a hint, and it could not have been better. I ordered the garlic naan and the bread is not a large size portion but it is plenty when you are paying $2 and change. I think that the restaurant works largely by the several delivery services. There are 3 big long tables there for families and single tables also. The dining area is not very big at all but it is sufficient for good food and good people serving you. Amy.“

“Yummiest bagels and nicest staff around“

“Normally the girls at opus spring hill are great but this morning was less than ideal I get the same thing every morning but this morning it was a awful experience. My cup was over filled dripping down my cup and tasted nothing like it normally does I was super disappointed“

“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!“

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