I worked here when I first moved to Gainesville and I totally agree with everyone who says the service sucks. I was a hostess and got very tired of having to track down servers playing frisbee in the back alley, or stand and wait for them to finish a conversation, in order to tell them I'd given the...
I love the fried mushrooms for an appetizer and the spinach wrap for an entree.
As long time patron of this restaurant, we are disappointed with the last visit. They really need to add more waiters for their lunch crowd, especially with what seems like an expansion of their outside dining. Our waitress was excellent but far too busy for all the tables she had to serve. They a...
Great ambience. A little lacking with the rickety tables & plastic chairs. Very diversified burger joint, but fun place to sit outside and enjoy your friends and watch the passers by. Service is good. But the accompaniments like the steak fries definetly need improvement. All in all a nice place to ...
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 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...
fabulous food, not fast, but everything was made from scratch and seemed so healthy. great place for a vegetarian or a meat eater.
This is one of my favorite places in Gainesville. it has very little to do with Greek life (unlike neighboring Swamp). also, anywhere with beer specials that include Red Stripe...count me in. I had the French Dip, and it was wonderful, the accompanying fries were delicious too. For sure, going back...
I love Cafe Gardens. I do not know what a previous reviewer was talking about when they said that they only accepted cash... the system must have been down or something, because I have been there so many times and used a card. The food is great - especially the burgers. I always have the hardest tim...

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...
I will not tolerate a waiter calling me a liar and going all the way to prove me wrong when I was right. The food was awfully late, plain and simple.
I have been going to C.J.'s for years now and i have never had a problem with them the treat there regulars like family and the are really nice good people there food is awsome great drink specials and awsome wings yes it may take a few min. extra to get your food but trust me it is work the wait ...
Great seafood, reasonably priced. Good time. Not a great kid menu as far as selection for younger children, but HUGE portions.
The food is delicious & portions are generous. Best seafood I've had on the East Coast from Maine to Florida. Service is down to Earth and friendly.
They have the best soups in town. I like the chicken pesto. Some of their servers aren't the brightest but we forgive.

Excellent-Teriyaki Chicken is terrific!
Enjoy all of their dishes. Tried more then a few, all good. Crab Rangoon could be less crunchy, but still good. Won Ton Soup is good. Boneless spareribs are really good. Take out from there all the time. Wish they delivered.
Very good Food. Person at counter is always hard to understand but work hard to get your order right. Best is boneless pork tips with rice very tasty. Would recommend this place to anyone who likes good chinese.
Have gotten food from here since they opened. Always do a great job. Never had anything I didn't like, or enjoy. I wish they delivered too.
