“Husband and I eat breakfast on Sundays at Gainesville Diner. Such a friendly atmosphere, our food is always delicious and hot. Amy is always our waitress--she is absolutely amazing, always friendly, and makes us feel as though we are her very dear friends. She brings us our coffee first thing without us even having to ask for it. The food is great, but Amy is what makes Gainesville Diner so very special.“

“Easily the best place to be in Gainesville for all the craft beer drinkers, music lovers and BBQ eaters!!! I frequent this place on a weekly basis, not just because it's close to the house, but because it's a FUN atmosphere. There are dart boards, arcade games, board games, live music, comedy shows and good food. You can host private parties here too!!! CHECK IT OUT!!!! 60+ taps of beer and TOP SHELF bourbon/whiskey!“

“Don't get out here often but when I do I like the Dagwood. Today was great Ms Katherine helped me and was such a delight. She kept checking on me and seeing if I needed something. It's great to know in the world we live in, that there is still beautiful people with such kindness around. Thank you so much Katherine for being so nice and making lunch a great experience.“

“I made a last-minute reservation at IHOP in Gainesville, Virginia, for a late dinner around 8:30 PM for a group of 30 people. When I arrived, there were only two waiters working and just a few customers, but the manager, Ulises, was kind enough to step in and help one of the waiters, Khrist, serve our group. The service was excellent, and it didn’t take long to place our orders or receive our food. Everything was great, and since 28 out of 30 in our group were seniors, the manager kindly gave us a 10% discount. My T-bone steak was cooked perfectly, and the rest of the group enjoyed a variety of dishes. We finished our meal within an hour. Overall, it’s a great place to eat with fast service and friendly staff.“

“Parking: Great place for amazing appetizers and a fun place to play pool. Has a good variety of music, but unfortunately, you have to pay for it. Also a great variety of activities except pool, they have darts, ping-pong and flip cup. Great variety of drinks as well.“
