15 Best American Restaurants in Gainesville

“This place was REALLY good. I had a Gyro omelet and it was really good. The hasbrowns were just the way I like them. The biscuits were like fluffy clouds. And the pancakes were good sized and fluffy. Good gravy and real butter too. The only thing is we wished they were open later so we could go after work.“

“Awesome wines, food, atmosphere, & staff! Very friendly. Highly recommend!“

“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!“

“The Orchard Bistro has the freshest and most delicious meals. This is my favorite spot in Gainesville. Jeff and Maggie are the kindest and well informed when it comes to health and wellness. (I’m sure on plenty of other subjects too) I’ve tried quite a few of their products and love the results. I’ve asked their advice numerous of occasions and they always have a well educated answer. The atmosphere is perfect and they have a great location, not to far from the square. The coffee, the tea, the food, the healthcare products/ herbs, are all top quality. You won’t find another place like it.“

“I had a hunch this place was the real deal the moment I stepped out of my truck. The aroma of freshly smoked meat mixed with sweet and tangy BBQ flavor inundated the gravel parking lot. A scent so overwhelmingly captivating, I couldn’t help but follow it to its source. I walked through the front doors of 902 and was immediately greeted by a charismatic waiter who promptly served us drinks. The menu was concise, yet powerful. Along with the atmosphere, all menu items complemented a cold beer and a sports game. I went with the brisket grilled cheese sandwich, served on 100% USDA Texas Toast. Mouthwatering is an understate, to say the least. After I consumed my fair share in cheesy caloric delight, the owner came out and greeted us with a warm smile, and freshly smoked chicken. My favorite part about this establishment is its commitment to keeping things simple, yet refining its craft through friendly employees, quality ingredients, and a home town feel. I look forward to my next visit.“

“Great atmosphere with great bar staff!“

“the staff was very friendly. food was delicious and the atmosphere was definitely Texas steakhouse.... beautiful saddles...“

“The staff very polite and our waitress was prompt attentive and the food was the best from any Chili's I've eaten at and our order came out right the first time. Also I've never had to ask for lemon for my tea after said half and half tea with lemon. When she brought a second glass out it had a lemon with it.“

“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!!“

“The food is amazing. It takes awhile to get food. Especially when someone takes your order from the counter inside, when you're in the drive thru.. but the employees are so nice and accommodating. We especially like the burgers and sundaes!“

“The Rib Crib restaurant chain as a whole has always exceeded my expectations. Every BBQ restaurant chain always has a different view as to what makes quality BBQ. I like my BBQ lean with little to no fat and the meat that Rib Crib uses is outstanding. Their ribs & pork are always cooked perfectly and they are tender & taste great. Highly recommended.

Parking: I have never had a problem finding a place to park as the restaurant has an abundance of parking spots available free of charge.

Kid-friendliness: High chairs and it’s a family friendly restaurant

Wheelchair accessibility: There are four handicapped, van accessible parking spaces marked by signs directly in front of the restaurant’s front door entrance“

“We stopped here coming home from a trip to Oklahoma. It was not too terribly crowded and our waiter was great. He was attentive and came right over, took our drink order (there were 5 of us) the young man brought our drinks and took our order and our food came quickly. Everything was correct, hot and delicious. I would recommend stopping here for a good hot breakfast!“
