“Arrived for a last minute bite to eat. The Al Pastor and Asada was delicious. The meat didn’t have any fat on it. And the portion was good. The sopes were definitely a hit for me.”

“I love the Taco Casa in Gainesville, i've been going to it to eat for so long i remember when it was on Grand avenue and they had the Mortal Kombat Arcade cabinates. Love it.

But here in the last few months the quality of the beans have gone down. It doesn't taste the same and it's dissapointing.
The beans are water almost runny and grittier too, Just over all not good.
I hope it's just a phase that will pass because otherwise I do really love Taco Casa.”

“I kept asking around (new to area) and FUKU its amazing. FUKU sushi was on point. Everyone who recommended FUKU knew what they were talking about!”

“A must stop coffee shop! Nice gentleman that took our order at the drive through knew the exact recipe they use - how many pumps of sweetener/# of shots etc. Made our lattes just as we asked. Recommend a stop here!”

“My husband and I have had nothing but GREAT service and drinks from this location! My husband is a coffee connoisseur, but me, I am NOT a fan of coffee! I know it sounds cheesy, but I've had a WONDERFUL experience trying the different shakes, lemonades, AND sodas! The gentleman who has taken care of us the last few times we've been is OUTSTANDING, and I sure hope AND pray he becomes a manager soon; he's got what it takes, for SURE! ❤️😊”

“Amazing food. They have homemade breakfast pizza, German kolaches. So good!! I wish I could take it all home with me.”

“I just stopped here for the first time today. Everyone was extremely friendly. The ice cream was amazing. So good I went home and got my wife. We went right back up to get her some. Of course I got another cone for myself. 😊”

“The food was good I just I am a big person in regards to the advertising brooms advertise beautiful green lettuce in which on my burger I basically received iceberg lettuce and I did not approve of that I like my lettuce 🥬 as described”

“Called a few weeks in advance to set up an order for my company Christmas party. They recommended X amount of food after I told them our wants and needs. When we got there our food was ready and the friendly staff and manager (owner maybe?) helped me get it to the truck. Even threw in a loaf of bread since we forgot to ask. Service was excellent, price was excellent, and of course the food was excellent!”

“Always a delicious and relaxing visit. A must visit in my opinion.”

“Absolutely delightful experience at Caleb's ice cream shop, The Blue Moose! From the moment I stepped in, I was greeted with warmth and genuine hospitality. The ice cream flavors were out of this world. What truly sets this place apart is the passion and love that they pours into every scoop. It's evident that this isn't just a business for them; it's a labor of love. The ambiance is cozy and inviting, making it the perfect spot to unwind and indulge in some heavenly treats. I can't recommend this place enough - it's a gem in our community and a testament to the dedication of its owner. Keep up the amazing work, Caleb! You've won a customer for life.”

“Manuelito’s did an incredible job hosting the surprise birthday party for us. The food, the drinks, the service, and the atmosphere were awesome! They managed our big group with ease!”

“I stopped for gas and to use the restroom. Saw the sign for Indian food. There were other food choices but I was willing to take a chance. I was given fresh, hot Samosas, garlic Naan, rice, and chicken Tikka Masala. It was all delicious! The total was more than I was expecting; however, it was such a nice treat, the guy who waited on me was very friendly, the Christian music I was listening to made me feel good, and the place was clean, plus I could make two meals out of it so I left a tip also and agreed to write a review on google. I also left them a brochure for CCHero.org so I hope they make that switch to save money and give to charity.”

“Great place always..love the bbq”

“the absolute best mexican food around! tacos and quesabirra tacos were amazing!!”

“This place is LIFE! Like ermerlawd! The best tacos I've ever ever eaten. Ever. Usually I don't care to make a post about a food joint but this place it tops. The portions of what I order (Steak tacos with cilantro and cheese) is more than fair for the price. You get a fresh lime wedge. Everything is cooked fresh too! I've formed a taco addiction. But its all good. The food is worth it. The cashiers are amazingly nice. They make me feel like an old family friend, because ive been there so much this week haha, they're really great. This place is overall a 12/10. If you don't try it you are missing out on the best chance youll take in 2019. Its your year go make it! Go eat tacos”

“Great food. Good service. Good value. Well worth the visit.”

“Bar scene. No drafts. All cans, they dont really got a list of what they have but whatever. The food is so damn good it still deserves 5 stars. Staff is friendly and attentive too. Blue cheese burger, French dip, hung over burger 👌🏼”

“Anyone comment less than 4☆, these people don't know damn good mexican food. And should remove there comments makes you look foolish”

“Excelinte comida y perfecto servico .

Kid-friendliness: My child loves there Quesadas with asasda or just chesses and she likes that they always give her a candy .

Parking: Its ok and close.”

“My favorite restaurant in town!”

“They have the best Italian food! And service has always been great! My favorite is the Chicken Genovese!”

“I love the Main Street Pub. The food is always delicious, and the service is the best.”

“Great place to bring your family.”

“First time I have ever left a review for a fast food restaurant, I have always hated wingstop the service has always been horrible the people never really respect you when you walk in. I have been through some of the worst shit in my life in the last 6 months I am a broke young man I dont just spend my money anywhere, but today i decided to cause it was right next to where my friend get hair cuts. There is a very nice woman named Sharron. Let me clarify I hate wingstop never left a review in my life this woman needs a raise sweetest and kindest person I have met In a long time hard at her work and is a good soul.”

“First time at the one in Gainesville and it did not disappoint. Child's food came out early and the rest of the meals were delivered shortly after that. Great service, drink refills, even chip refills. We enjoy eating at Chili's and glad to see the same consistency at this location.”

“A small restaurant but the food was amazing, cashier however wasn’t. She could be a little more friendly. Maybe she was having a bad morning. But all in all the food was delicious.”

“Great atmosphere with great bar staff!”

“On my way down to DFW from OKC I had to stop at one of my favorite little donut places. I try to stop every time I come through. They're always friendly, tons of good options, and their kolaches are great.”

“No exaggeration, these are some of the best tacos I’ve ever had. Highest possible recommendation.

Also, this place is inside the gas station. There is no sign outside as far as I could tell. Took me a minute to find. Just want to say that to help others find these amazing tacos!”

“The dreamsicle with cream changed my life”

“I absolutely LOVED my coffee! Kai was extremely friendly and helpful. I told her what I liked and she made a suggestion based on that and I ordered it; I was pleasantly surprised! My caramel cinnamon iced coffee with oat milk was the best iced coffee I’ve had! I get iced coffee at every establishment I go to and I pay twice as much as this one cost. I will definitely be back for other flavors from here!”

“Very responsive. Excellent service and above all, wonderful pies!”

“Great staff and excellent food with ice cold beverages all at a reasonable price 😋”

“Great burger on a road trip. We stopped on the way to Austin. It’s a small restaurant with just 4-5 tables inside next to a gas station. The burgers were delicious. Onion rings were crispy. I had never had a fried pie before. We spilt a cherry and coconut cream. Delicious. Would recommend.”

“If you’re into eating real Hispanic Type Food every other day like this white man. El Tapatio is the best in Gainesville Tx all the way to Nocona, Tx. El Tapatio offers quality food, good service unlike the others in the area! Plus I keep their cooking equipment repairs now for over a year, and NO BUGS gotten in my way yet! Unlike many other restaurants in Gainesville, Tx.”

“Run…Don’t walk to this Chicken Express!

Very clean! Super friendly staff! Met the owner, Tank, who bent over backwards to help me get exactly what we needed! Thank you Tank!!!
Absolutely will be going back as often as possible!!!”

“My son and I came in to shop and then he wanted something to eat this is the first time we have eaten here. The young lady who served Kaylee was extremely sweet and very helpful.Her customer service was awesome!She was super sweet the food came out quickly and we enjoyed it.”

“This is for Chili's, Not Just Wings!I used the App to order curbside. I arrived at the time it was estimated to be ready. I received a text just as I was pulling up saying my order was ready. I checked in using the text link. I waited about 10 minutes and checked in in the App. A young lady looked out and saw me sitting outside but didn't come out, so I thought maybe it wasn't ready. After another 10 minutes, I went in and saw my order sitting on a shelf. I'm sure it was cold by now. The young lady came up after I was standing there a few minutes and asked if I had a to go order. I told her yes, it's right there in the shelf and I've been waiting 20 plus minutes. She asked if I wanted it remade. I said Yes! She could tell I was very irritated. She took the food back and a manager came out. I explained my situation. He told me they were remaking it. I showed him the two check ins I had done. He then said the system must be malfunctioning. He offered a free dessert for my trouble which I gladly accepted. The manager was very friendly and helpful.The food came out after another 10 minutes. It was warm. The food was good. The molten lava dessert was fabulous.It took a lot longer than planned but everything turned out good.”

“Today 5/30/26 we encountered the rudest group of individuals dining during lunch. They were being 100% disrespectful to the employee running the front area. I wish I had gotten her name but she handled the situation with complete grace. To those individuals, you should be ashamed for bringing your no home training to a public place.”

“Stop here on our way back from winstar! This place had me SHOOK it was the cleanest Waffle House I’ve ever been to. 10/10 usually don’t like sitting at the bar top because I don’t like to see how they make my food (other places are dirty) but we sat there today and I was absolutely amazed at the cleanliness of the restaurant. Food was amazing and our waitress was the sweetest I wish I could remember her name ): but anyways, amazing team this morning!!”

“cracker barrel is always our go too place to eat while traveling. this one we stopped at in Gainesville, Tx was no exception except one little burp. the country ham had a funky taste and smell to it. I didn't eat it but besides that it's a great establishment!”

“I think their Mountain Dew Baja soda is out more than McDonald's ice cream machine & of course it's the drink my son wants every time we go. Their prices have gone up too much on some items, I was disappointed to find the beefy 5 layer is now a premium item on the $6 box & if I want the gordita I have to pay extra.”

“Went to Freddy’s last night to celebrate a friends birthday. Our burgers and fries were hot, fresh and delicious! Then we had hot fudge sundaes…sooo good! The employees were all helpful and friendly. Can’t wait to go back for another Freddy’s meal.”

“I come to chick fil a quiet often atleast once a week . The other day it was very odd I waited 20 minutes in drive thru . But yesterday I had an amazing experience Avery was very nice full of energy just made me feel good about choosing to come to chick fil a . I got the jalapeno bacon ranch with Fries and a drink. All my food was hot and fresh . The only down fall was the sandwhich only had two tiny pieces of bacon and the picture shows 3 I asked for extra pickle only got 2 total and 3 jalapeno on the sandwhich . But other than that it was good.”

“Great service, great food and a good price for what you get. I took my wife and 2 kids to dinner and the server took care of us and has a very friendly attitude.
We have been going to this restaurant for years. They have been characterized by a clean restaurant, with low volume on music so that family and friends can eat, visit and discuss without competing with loud noises. The staff is very good at working as a team and supporting each other in serving the customers. We have heard many times, the staff enjoying working together and laughing and making the environment very friendly and enjoyable. The food is in my opinion the best in Gainesville. My entire family enjoys eating there and it makes a great place to eat after family events, with friends traveling and after group events.”

“On my wedding morning (3.21.26) I ordered drinks and food for my bridesmaids, pastor, mom, and myself. It was a large order and I sent my groom the receipt to pick it up. When he got there, they didnt have the order in their system, so of course my groom called me stressed out. I talked to the barista and she quickly assured me that she would have it ready soon based on the receipt he had- she even took the time to write everyone's names on the drinks and food so distribution was easy. Of course everything came out great.
Today, (3.24.26) I ordered lunch there and remembered this event, so I checked the bank statement and transaction history on my starbucks account and that order wasn't anywhere to be found! I went in and spoke to the manager, Rachel, and asked to pay, but she said to consider it as a wedding gift! Wow! (I ended up buying a little sweet treat so I could leave a large tip instead.) I'm so grateful for how they handled everything for me on my big day, and even more grateful for them being kind enough to take care of it as a wedding gift!”
