“Delicious healthy option! We loved it for lunch so much that we ordered it again for dinner!“

“Great place to stop by for any meal. We came for breakfast early while traveling they didn't disappoint. You seat yourself and the waitress comes to the table, service is quick and food is delicious. Reasonable prices, delicious cafe con leche. There's also bakery treats. They can get busy but a must stop if you're in the area. Highly recommend.“

“Always happy to visit and eat a yummy sandwich!!“

“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!“

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

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

“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!“

“I ordered a pepperoni pizza and received a cheese. The delivery driver just left the pizza on the porch. No knocking or calling. I didn’t know it was out there. It was cold by the time I realized it was there. I get pizza from here all the time and it’s normally amazing. this was the worst“

“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. 🤤🤤🤤“

“Great pizza. Very reasonably priced and some unique flavors. Definitely going back!“

“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!“

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

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

“Had the opportunity to visit this place today for the first time and it was great. The staff was amazing, the pizza was great and there was plenty memorabilia to look at. Will definitely hit this spot again soon.“

“A nice, friendly, family-run community hang out. Always clean--no sticky floors or beer smells--and I love that they offer a rotation of food trucks, fun things to do, and outdoor tables when you want to escape from the noise. I'm also excited they will be offering an indoor farmer's market this summer!“

“Lisa and I have never been disappointed with the food or service. Their specials are great.“

“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!!“

“La atmósfera es elegante y la comida excepcional“

“I'll upload pictures next time as the pizza is so good here, I always get straight to demolishing it and forget to capture the art 😅. One of my most favorite pizza shops on Tower Rd. The 18inch XL is a great deal that will last you a few meals due to the sheer size of the slices. Can't beat the value & most of all, flavor. Ordering is simple especially if do it online. There is a wide topping selection & they always have a deal going that caters to common situations. Both pickup & delivery are quick. Staff are friendly & accommodating & the pizza is piping hot when you recieve it. Highly recommended if you are looking for a quality pizza 👌!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Just used my texted coupon from 5 Star Pizza. It was a BOGO. They allowed me to customize up for the cost of a topping. They are professional, efficient and make an amazingly delicious pizza. The cost even without a coupon is excellent. Thank you so much.“

“Popped in for a snack and to enjoy some live music. Had the corn dogs and small loosey's salad. Both were quite good. The corn dogs had a very good batter that was less bready than is typical (which I liked) and the beer mustard and house bbq dipping sauces were great. The band that was playing looked like they were undergrad/grad students. They were very talented and their music perfectly matched the vibe of the bar.“

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

“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“
