12 Best American Restaurants in Gainesville

“Absolutly amazing food and service. I had the chicken piccata with shrimp. It was to die for. The shrimp was perfectly soft, i swear it must have been breast fed or something. We had a server named mason. He was hilarious and super charismatic. He made the whole experience a lot better. He made me a mocktail from scratch. It was a strawberry blueberry drink with lemon juice and rosemarry and mint. It had a beautiful frozen lemon rose ice cub. I also had the mascarprone for desert it was perfectly balanced of sweet and chocolatly. The place was absolutly stunning and such pretty set up. Even my youngest cousin (4 year old) had lots of fun here and got to have great food too. Literally everything i had was super delious.

“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!“

“Update:I was contacted and they were extremely nice about making it right. I was told they would send a gift card which I really appreciate. I'll Update if it doesn't come I have faith it will. It did

I'm disabled and never leave the house but yesterday was my husband's 71st birthday so I thought I would gather my strength and splurge for his name day.

I asked from the smallest bone in and she kept showing me large hams, after the 3rd no they slapped another on the counter, here $50 and change opens the foil but I'm so short I can't see anything but we have been buying your Hams for decades with no issues so I said ok, I also bought 3 large sides.

I get it home open it up for his dinner and this ham is burnt jerky. I do not have the energy to take that long scary ride back to return it but would gladly show you a photo. At this point I'm not sure we will ever return. Shame on the employee for even selling me that over cooked ham.“

“It was very loud, but the great food and service made it tolerable. Plenty of TVs to watch football which was nice. Cole was our waiter, and he did a great job! My wife and I had the ribeye. The steaks were delicious and cooked medium rare the way we like it! The avocado egg rolls were a tasty starter.“

“🤣🤣🤣 It’s the perfect place to go and hang out especially if the nail salon is not open! I highly recommend the Cobb salad and Cleveland Brownie Sunday. I’ll hit the gym tomorrow!“

“So good. We ordered a California turkey club and it was so good 10/10. The server went out of his way to get us tea and the manager brought us every flavor of tea imaginable. An indecisive person’s nightmare fr. JP the manager needs to be promoted to CEO. Loved that guy. When JP gets promoted, they can fill the manager position with our server guy George Mason (minus the George).“

“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.“
