The breakfast special is a rip off. Substitute
hash browns for grits and the $2.99 special
becomes $8.00. That's five bucks for an order
of hash browns. FOOD IS VERY GREASY.
My husband and I took the kids to dinner last week and had the most wonderful experience while there. The server obviously loved children and paid special attention to our kids so that my husband and I actually got to have a conversation. The food was fantastic...I recommend the St. Jacob Saute, my...

Very good service!!! Any other truckers out there traveling Interstate 75, and have a craving for sushi, this is the place to call. I took the exit ramp 382, parked on the shoulder, called in my order, and was eating sushi within 20 mins. That's what you call CURB service. Try the Crunchy Rolls.......
The food was okay, but the service was horrible. The waitress was inattentive and she literally slammed our change and to go boxes because she thought her tip wasn't large enough.

I've been going to Calico Jacks in Gainesville for over ten years. Back in the day they ROCKED. BUT Every time I go there they get worse and worse. The last three times I went it was so bad it was amazing. Sad to say I no longer eat there. I have a lot of good memories eating at CJ's with friends a...
Best food I've had in Gainesville in a long time.
Good food, good prices, good service.
I have been eating here for years, and have had mixed experiances but nothing horrible. Service can range from good not great to so so. I have never had to wait for 15 min to be served as some have said but at times my drink may go dry before I get a refill. Food is usually really good the sweet pot...
The people on the Williston Rd location are great and very friendly and the food is good. I recommend them to anyone and I think their specials are great. My favorite lunch is the chicken pot pie...mmmmm
Owner Ben Ma has outdone himself. This restaurant is a hidden gem. We have eaten there many time. We have finally given in and just ask our server to have Mr. Ma make us something. We are never disappointed. When you see a majority of the clientele are Asian, you know you have found the winner.
high priced low quality food.

EXCELLENT!! I travel all over North Florida and have tried all the different mexican restaurant's and LA Fiesta is the best.
Ivey's used to be a regular dining experience when I was younger. I placed a take out order today for 2 salads and a BLT. The dressing was not included. The BLT was cold and bland. The orange with the sandwich was good, and the salad items were fresh.
The $$ was significantly higher than expect...
Awesome place to eat! Great Food!
We went there on steak night. Great value- steak special came with salad bar. Steaks were cooked perfectly. Excellent service. Firecraker shrimp was tasty.
Two friends and I had a St. Patty's Day dinner here and were quite satisfied. I had the corned beef and cabbage special. One of my friends had a burger with french fries and the other had a dinner salad. We also ordered a basket of tortilla chips which came with a generous portion of salsa. A pitche...
This place is my new favorite local spot to eat. Their food is awesome! I had the bacon jalepeno burger with brownies, and it blew me away.They deliver and are open late. I order all the time, especially when I get home from a night out! Do yourself a favor and check this place out!
I have eaten at this restaurant at least once every week for the last five years and now i would like to take a stab at a review, as well as, comment on the previous reviews. The service is always a little sluggish. They do seem to employ a good number of college students as waitresses, but that sho...
I had a fantastic fresh home made blueberry muffin with my cafe cubano. I also enjoyed the friendly personal service.
I'm trying to understand how one person gave this place 2 stars, that's a compliment for them! Overpriced, underquality, I as well did not eat my food and wish I had seen the reviews here before I went.
Don't eat here, maybe something good will replace it after they deservingly go out of busines...
Nice little local spot. Great patio seating. My dish was decent but my friend's grouper plate was excellent.
