“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.“

The Orchard Health Food Store, Bistro & Cafe Health Food • $$
300 E California St, Gainesville

“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.“

“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“
