11 Best Southern Restaurants near Gainesville

“Rosie was the best waitress!!“

“Ordered takeout, and overall, the food was good, but nothing that really stood out as extraordinary. I ordered the chicken sandwich, fish and chips (I didn’t try these myself, but was told they were crispy and delicious), fried green tomatoes, and rangoons.

Everything I tried was good and crispy, although a little heavy, which is to be expected with fried food. The fries were sad and soggy, but that could have been from sitting in the takeout container.

My only real disappointment was the rangoons. The bacon jam seemed to overpower the rest of the filling, and the flavors didn’t really come together. Instead, they competed with each other and made the filling feel like too much. The idea sounded great, but I think it could use a little refining. Just my personal opinion and taste!

The staff were very friendly when I picked up my order, and everything was ready on time.“

“Its always a pleasure to take my family to the Chicken Salad in Gainesville. Cynthia, the store manager, and her team deliver the best customer service in town ,and always go above and beyond to make sure your have the best experience possible.“

“I’ve always been treated nice here and the food is great especially the brown gravy. If you want to pay double for breakfast please go to Waffle House. And if you want people to treat you poor darlings nice please stay home. Well maybe!“

“Sever name crystal that works at night black hair she is the best“

“Great place for large groups! The service is good. The atmosphere is noisy when they’re busy so it’s difficult to hear others at your table if you’re more than one person away at the table. I had the chicken pecan salad, which was delicious.“

“Awesome staff! Incredible owners! Love the bartender, Jenn. Thanks for your hospitality.“

“We had an amazing experience at this restaurant! My husband, two friends, and I went to celebrate my friend’s birthday, and everything was wonderful. All the food and drinks we ordered were absolutely delicious!

Our server was very attentive, friendly, and helpful. He recommended some drinks and wines, and we were definitely not disappointed! Everything was exactly what we were hoping to try, and we truly enjoyed every bit of it.

We chose to sit outside, and the atmosphere was lovely, relaxing, and comfortable. It was the perfect setting to enjoy great food, drinks, and celebrate a special occasion with friends.

I highly recommend this restaurant! The food, drinks, service, and atmosphere were all excellent. We will definitely be back! ❤“

“We tried Loretta's for lunch since we were in the area it was recommended by a friend who lived nearby. The Chicken Lorraine was quite good and my husband had the meatloaf with rice and gravy and okra. I also had the macaroni and cheese and the okra as well. Everything was hot, fresh and yummy. We will go there again when we're in the Mundy Mill Road area next time we shop around Sam's Club.“
