“We went here after we had both our kids at shands. They were in the nicu 2 different years and we always went there! We moved to Illinois so anytime we come to Florida we make sure to stop at country foodly!“

“I like PF Chang the few times I have visited. Their Lettuce Wraps are good; they serve it with ground chicken on the bed of some crisps with sauce. It gives a good crunch eating all together as a wrap.

Their Chili Green Beans are the best - full of flavor with a hint of ginger and garlic with chili oil.

Kung Pao chicken is packed with flavors and peanuts in it adds a great texture while eating with rice.

Show stopper is their Dynamite Chicken - it’s actually Dynamite Shrimp but since I don’t eat seafood they made it in Chicken upon request. - I loved it.

Their server kept on checking on us.“

“We attended a Christmas party at Tinker’s in Tioga. Food and drinks were absolutely amazing! Service was great (shout out to Nani!). Will definitely go back!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Stopped here on recommendation from someone local. We were greeted immediately by GABRIEL. He was patient with us since we were first timers. I am not a Cuban food expert so I asked a few questions he answered politely without making me feel dumb.

We ordered the papa rellena (potato ball stuffed with ground beef) and a ropa veja empanada. (Crispy pastry stuffed with seasoned shredded beef) as appetizers. Both were delicious delicious.

For mains he got the Ybor Cuban sandwich which was Ham, Roasted Pork, Salami, Swiss Cheese, Mustard, Pickles, Ybor Cuban Bread. He got it minus the mustard. I of course had to sample it as well and it was very nice soft bread, juicy meat and the flavor all together was amazing!

I ordered the Lechon bowl. It came with Lechon (roasted pork), yellow rice black beans and sweet plantains with an egg on top (for $1 extra). Gabriel also asked if we wanted sauces, he named them off I asked to sample them all. One was the mojo sauce I know it was a citrus and very garlic forward sauce. I would have liked less garlic and more citrus. One was an almost sour cream(possibly) cilantro green sauce and one was a pink sauce don’t know what was in it but it was good!

When we come up from Jacksonville again we will definitely visit again! Possibly try other things as well!

Kid-friendliness: They have kids menu options and it would be a place kids would be welcome.“

“Ordered a cheesesteak with onion rings, it was amazing. Will definitely stop in when I’m in the area.“

“Amazing food, staff and atmosphere! Will be back :)“

“Literally the best pizza in Gainesville hands down“

“What a great place. Been to a lot of tap rooms just to be disappointed in the beer, NOT THIS PLACE! I had a flight of their own brewed beers & the wife had a flight of stouts, not theirs. The staff was fun & helpful in choosing cause you can't drink them all. Hope I get to come back again.“

“Dining in, taking out, take and bake always a delicious meal. I’ve had a little of everything over the years and always delighted with every bite! Can’t beat their lunch specials, the rolls are amazing, can’t say enough. If you haven’t tried them, YOU are missing out on some great food!“

“Food is great. Service is very good. Totally recommend.“

“Happening place, very busy, staff was great and cordial, made some good recommendations. Very well prepared dishes, my daughters and I enjoyed the food very much. What could have been better? The air conditioning was running at full capacity and it wasn’t enough fresh air, specially at our table close to the open kitchen. It’s early August so it’s understandable. I’m coming back again later this fall!“

“Stopped for some late night drinks while we were in town. We sat outside since the weather was great. There is a ton of outdoor seating. The waitress was very good, prompt and attentive. Super place to stop for a drink. They did have live music, but we didn't pay the cover to go in to listen.“

“Love this Restaurant! It’s always a pleasure to visit!!!“

“Amazing food!!!! fresh ingredients and I stopped drinking "coffee" but their cold coffee is a blast!! and tasty like an espresso with milk, or any other option you prefer, EVERYTHING TASTES SO DELICIOUS, THANK YOU AND SEE YOU SOON!!!!“

“My husband and i have been eating five star pizza since we started dating almost 10 years ago and it’s hands down one of the best pizza places we have found. Although if you really want a good experience and the best they have to offer you have to go to the five star pizzas on tower road in Gainesville FL. None of the other locations have ever been able to meet the expectations that the tower road store set for us. Plus they just started a loyalty program with text offers and loyalty points which is something we always wished they had but honestly it didn’t factor in on my choice the pepperoni rolls and large pepperoni pizza well done with Garlic or cinnamon rolls and 2 liter of Dr.pepper are my go to every time and they have never let me down on tower road, we make a point to look for five star pizza where ever we go so we have tried them all through out florida, at least north central fl, haven't found them anywhere else.

Vegetarian options: Salad cheese pizza veggie pizza“

“ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS. The Greek salad was gorgeous and fresh, dressing and tzatziki sauce were spot on, and both gyro-meat dishes we tried were truly fantastic. My only wish is that the spices in the baklava shone through a bit more; everything else was so well seasoned (even the French fries) that the dessert was a little bit of a let down. Would have been a completely flawless meal with a little extra spiced honey.“

“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.“

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

“We had my mother’s celebration of life yesterday. The Tower Road Piesanos catered our event. There are no words to express my gratitude to Tim and Mischa for their outstanding service. Tim worked very hard to make everything perfect - even putting up with all my requests. The food was over the top. To quote my cousin “ We want to Chris Ruth last night and this tenderloin puts them to shame. “. Thank you for making mom’s send off perfect. Amy“

They cook only 2 days a week, on Friday and Saturday, and come at store opening at 10a to get fresh. They have a specific menu every week.

“I was served by a girl named Frankie, she was fantastic! She made the best salad I have ever tasted, I think I’ll be chasing the high I got from it for the rest of my life. Not only does Frankie make a mean salad but she strikes a shocking resemblance to snookie. Which is nice because I love jersey shore.
Thank you Frankie
Thank you just salad
Thank you snookie“
