Yes I would eat here again with the family and the kids. One of the only breakfast places in Gainesville.4 stars Here I give is equivalent to a B+. The service was excellent, large variety of menu choices, good portions. Parking was plentiful. Restrooms were very clean.I loved the friendly feel of a family restaurant and the down to earth friendly service with great food.I was neutral when we arrived as the location and atmosphere from the outside was a little questionable.The restaurant is located in the same shopping center as Dollar Tree, and a couple middle eastern shops. The inside setting feels like it used to be a Mexican food restaurant or something else.The restroom was a two-stall well sized and looks renovated compared to the restaurant interior - very pleased and unexpected.The food was terrific. I would say their pancakes were better than IHOP and their omelettes were fresh and well made.Make sure to ask for REAL butter otherwise they put some margarine type butter on top. The kids meals were reasonably priced at $3.99 per pancake or waffle and a dollar and some change for fruits and toppings - no milk no sides.I am taking half a star for the atmosphere and half for the minor details of certain food ingredients.

I am giving this diner the benefit of the doubt, due to the fact that I went during a busy time. However, I was very disappointed. I will start with the good. I was greeted and the staff seemed friendly. I ordered an Omelet with home fries and coffee. They started off strong, my server immediately took my drink order and when she returned, she took my food order. However, that was the last time my server came to my table except to drop off the check at the end. The omelet was delicious. I was very happy with that part but the home fries were awful. They were over cooked to the point they were a dark brown and crunchy. Not the way home fries are supposed to be cooked. The diner was dirty and they were under staffed. Due to the fact it was busy and my omelet was good, I would give this place another shot. Otherwise, I would have easily rated this a 2 star and moved on.

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.

Terrible service, overpriced, charged me double for subscription on kids side dish not bringing the ones we paid for. Saw the front desk ignoring the other patrons not bringing their tabs and just playing around. I will definitely not be back. Also, terrible omelette. Go to IHOP instead.

Family friendly dinner with some of the most amazing staff. Specifically, Joy!!! She’s one reason my family and I keeps returning. Her attention to detail and selflessness makes the entire dining experience totally worthwhile.Joy goes the extra mile to remember your name and order. [That] gesture goes along way!!Highly recommended!! While you’re there, although she’s in high demand, ask for Joy and I’m sure you’ll be happy you did!!✌?
