“Tracie is always so amazing! She’s so kind, energetic, and efficient! She develops friendships with her customers that always have us coming back. The food is also amazing. Great location and people.”
“Appetizer was delicious (pepperoni roll). Individual pizzas and meatball sub were okay. Average. I would try it again the next time we are in the area. The service and staff were excellent.”
“Basically our neighborhood pub. Great little place. So many microbreweries make beer that is heavy and starchy. These guys make good clean beer. Highly recommend.”

“We tried Mass 29 on a friend’s recommendation and it did not disappoint! From the ambience to the service to the food and wine, everything was amazing! My husband had the beef tibs, an Ethiopian dish that was delicious. I had the flank steak. It was perfectly cooked to my liking with creamy mashed potatoes and a Gorgonzola sauce. Our wine, Silk and Spice was delicious. We tried and lived the sambusas- had a little spice but not too much. We’re taking the lemon dessert home for later. We can’t wait to go back. Prices were reasonable too.”
“Always a great experience! The food was delicious and the chef put on an amazing show while cooking. The scallops were cooked perfectly and so delicious. We were celebrating a birthday and they brought out a balloon hat and cake for my daughter after dinner!”
“We went for late lunch/brunch at the brass cannon Sunday for Easter and we loved everything, the ambiance was great because it was not noisy, as it was 2:30pm, we had the best table by the window facing the golf course, our food was excellent, deviled eggs and crab Benedict , and we loved the fact that it was “a la carte “menu and not a buffet, it’s nice to choose whatever a person wants, and we had the best service from our server Pamela :) Thank you !”
“Fantastic winery! Beautiful location! Wonderful staff and family. The 2020 Dry Resiling was amazing! I typically enjoy Alsatian whites and this was similar! Great surprise! My company held an event here a few weeks ago and the staff were incredible. They went above and beyond to ensure our team and guests had a great experience. I will be back with my friends & family! Our company plans to return next year!”
“Haven’t seen music yet but they have a great setup and while the pour as you go can be dangerous, it’s reasonable and you can limit yourself. It’s a LOT bigger inside than it looks and they also have a mixed drink section too! Not bad, worth a visit.Parking: Wide open free parkingWheelchair accessibility: Easy in and out”
“The sushi rolls are mid-level, but considering the options in Gainesville, probably the best local place I’ve had yet. The staff are kind, they did forget parts of our order but did eventually get it out to us. The fish is good grade fish, tastes fresh, no hint of “fishy-ness”. The simple rolls had an extremely thin layer of rice to my surprise; patchily showing the seaweed underneath. However the specialty rolls were delicious, so definitely order those.”
“We are new to the area and just decided to try them because we liked the outside appearance. Sam was AWESOME, and the food absorbed delicious. I also like the durable to-go containers and nice, strong bags! The sweet tea was SWEET—no need to explain. We are bringing the whole, family and have selected Out of the Blue as our first choice for good seafood. Thanks for being there for us seniors.—Linda”
“I went for the 1st time since living here locally in 7 years. The waitress Marah, the bartender Brandon n the manager were all very personable. I'm very particular with my food and drinks, but everything ordered was fresh and delicious. I would definitely visit again soon.”
“Rice was a tad undercooked as it had a bit of a bit to it, meaning it had a crunch. Not good for rice. Server forgot my daughter's appetizer and dessert, so not good. It was super late, near closing, so I would do a 3.5 but it's not an option. Will surely go back.”
“Best food! I love it every time I got it's do good! I recommend the carnitas fajitas! I love the service there! The server was so amazing love her! She brought my daughter an extra sprite after she finished and more chips when we finished.”
“On my most recent visit, Savanah and Cesar provided excellent service. The fixing bar was well stocked with fresh produce. The tables, floor, and restrooms were clean and tidy as was the parking lot. The Gainesville location is obviously well managed with an impressive staff. With freshly prepared, flavorful, economical food, I look forward to our next visit.”
“My husband and I went there for the 2nd time today and it was as good as it was the 1st time. We were sat down and welcomed by Bobby. He was very friendly and gave us suggestions on an appetizer. We will definitely be back for a 3rd visit next time we are in the Charlottesville area.”
“We were traveling with family and our local friend Shreenivasan took us at this place. The food was delicious and service was way beyond 5 stars. The staff was so humble, that we didn’t recognize that owner was one of them. We will definitely recommend this place to everyone.!”
