“My little family loves and craves DJ's Burgers. We eat out pretty rarely, but we make sure to go there about once a month. I am from Oklahoma, so I get the Oklahoma burger every time because it truly does remind me a little bit of home. Delicious food & nice people!“

“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!“

“Nothing but fun….and the food was great.“

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

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

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

“atmosphere was great. my pasta was great. drinks were amazing. only complaint was my husband's shrimp and grits was overcooked“

“The bartenders were great. The beers were excellent good atmosphere. Great time friendly people tucked away. You have to really kind of look for it in a little strip mall. But I do that because I know that like taking those places and hidein 'em, once you find it excellent, I recommend it“

“Charcuterie at Fehrenbacher’s - so good!“

“This is my first time here but my husband went here for basmati rice once before. We visited after work today (Monday around 5:30pm) and bought more rice, some desserts, several types of incense, masala chai tea, and naan. Total was around $100 after we finished shopping. The owner, Ravi, was very friendly, helpful, and informative.

Since we were waiting for traffic to die down, we stayed to order-in a Deshi Paneer Masala sandwich (medium spicy without tomatoes), a cream horn, a guava pastry, and a mango lassi drink. The sandwich and drink were freshly made (presumably by Ravi's wife?) while we were waiting and both were excellent. It was probably the best tasting Deshi Paneer Masala we have ever tasted :)

The place is organized, offers affordable items, and appears to be clean. They also have clean single-occupancy private restrooms for customers.

We would go back here again to shop and get another fresh sandwich!“

“I love Italian food—especially mom-and-pop restaurants. My mom and I tried Pomodoro Café for the first time, and wow… hidden gem. The calamari was perfectly cooked—light, crisp, not greasy at all. The spaghetti Bolognese was rich, smooth, and perfectly al dente… the kind of dish that makes you pause and enjoy every bite. The atmosphere was cozy and comfortable. And Virginia—our server—was amazing. Attentive, friendly, and made the whole experience even better. Highly recommend!“

“Howdy yo I love you guys or my name is Shaggy Rogers dude!“

“Are with a crowd. So tried a variety of food everything was delicious I will be back!“

“Great food and wonderful service!“

“10 out of 10 recommend!Food and service are top notch.“

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

“If you enjoy Indian cuisine, I highly recommend Manzil Fine Indian Dining! They have a lunch buffet for $18.99, all you can eat, and it was delicious. The chicken curry and butter chicken were on point, and I tried a little bit of everything. I honestly can’t complain about a single thing. 🤤🤤🤤“

“My husband and I celebrated our wedding at V pizza+ Side car. The pizza and caresse salad was fantastic. The server made excellent recommendations. This is a fine dining restaurant. This restaurant is a 5 star experience. Thank you for a great experience.“

“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!!“

“The tacos are definitely their speciality. The guacamole is the blandest I’ve ever had. It had so many onions in it and there was no flavor except onion. Save the $20 and get a nice dessert of something instead. It’s very busy inside and not for someone looking for a quiet bite to eat.“

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

“La atmósfera es elegante y la comida excepcional“

“best coffee shop/food in Gainesville“

“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!!!!!!!“

“Best fancy breakfast and coffee in town by a mile. It’s a more pricey spot but one of the few in town that feels like you get your money’s worth and you realize the cost is actually reasonable. Even when it’s busy you feel taken care of by the sweet staff. You can’t miss when it comes to the thoughtfully curated menu and creative quality ingredients. These guys really know what they’re doing!“

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

“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 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.“

“Very good service. The seasoned potatoes are very salty to the extent u can't eat them. The biscuits and turkey gravy is very good. We asked the waitress about the salty potatoes before we ordered them and she was aware of other customers concerns. Made no difference in the kitchen. Just won't order the salty potatoes again but the place is great other wise.“

“You guys made THE best gluten free pie I've ever had! Thin & crispy & the sauce was delicious! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!“

“The wonderful owners of Mint Indian Cuisine allowed me to host my daughter’s college graduation party at their establishment. They made our family, and most importantly, my daughter, feel very welcome and special. The food was delicious and served timely. They patiently explained the menu to those in our group who hadn’t eaten Indian cuisine. We had enough privacy and the price was right. We highly recommend them and thank them for sharing their genuinely warm hospitality with us.“

“This is a super cool bar and eatery my daughters and I visited on our vacation. The food was excellent. My drink, a house made cocktail called The Riveter, was excellent and our bartenders were super nice and friendly. I highly recommend this establishment.“

“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 ❤️“

“The staff are so friendly and engaging!“

“The best food in town! Can’t get enough!“

“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“

“My first time trying Venezuelan cuisine! Wow! I want more! I had a chicken empanada and fried plantains. The chicken was perfectly seasoned and the sauce! OMG! and the plantains were out of this world! If you're in Gainesville, I highly recommend giving this a try! You won't be disappointed!“

“Anytime I meet my son for brunch in Gainesville this is where I want to eat! Love the Flying Biscuit! Food is so yummy!!“
