Went here with a large party for dinner. The service was great. We loved the food and didn't even realize we spent 3 hours having dinner. They didn't rush us, they were patient with kids and elderly that attended with us.
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...
We dined at the 13th street location this morning. It took 10 minutes for anyone to get our drink order, we placed our food order at the same time. Only to find out that they didn't have what we wanted. So once we finally decided again what we would like, when they brought the food out the order was...
From one Mexican food lover to the next, this is by far the best mexican restuarant in town. Great for the college student and family, all the same. If they wait was a problem before it is only because the place is so popular.
They only accept cash. They didn't tell us until after it was too late. What kind of junk is that?
Yahooooooo I LOVE THIS FOOD ....PLEASE OPEN A LOCATION IN ARCHER FLORIDA...Great prices and wonderful portions... you would make a killing out here in Archer.Think about it, you could serve other western counties MORE.... Start a trend let the people out here trade in their tooth picks for a rib bon...
Everything I ordered at 12pm was served cold. How can you serve macaroni & cheese cold an hour after you open- not even warm? This is the original Sonny's & it needs some work in the kitchen. On the sliced pork lunch ($6.49), the pork was nice- moist, fatty, but cold to match the cold fries & cornbr...
If you've had a bad experience at the 43rd st Deli,
it's probably because you weren't at the Williston
Rd location. The food is excellent and the service
is outstanding. The employees are a great group of
fun and friendly people. Become a regular patron of
the Deli, and you'll be adopted into t...
There are no words to describe the wonderful food and atmosphere of Napolatano's. I LOVE it. Truly delicious meals, salads, seafood, burgers, and especially PIZZA and calzones! I think I've had just about everything on the menu and it's all great, to say the least. The owners are truly remarkabl...
My husband and I love this place. The bach thai is out of this world, and we eat here every weekend. It is the highlight of my week. I have been to many vietnamese restaurants and this one has the best service in town. There soups are very good,as are many of their dishes. Nice family-owned busin...
This place is not an authentic Vietnamese restaurant. It's a shame that they claim to be one. The food is not at all Vietnamese, and I guess they try to cater too much to what they think Americans would want, and this makes the food less authentic. This place is also a Chinese food place and they se...
I always loved the Copper Monkey. They always had the best sandwiches in town. Best Fries too. The waitresses were attentive and it was my 1st choice always for a sandwich always. (at least once a month) However the food has taken a turn for the worse. The fries are those skinny little things which,...
I would love to eat here. Unfortunately, I had to leave after sitting at a table for 20 minutes and not getting a drink, a menu or any sort of acknowledgement.
I noticed another table leave rght before us. They didn't get anyone to wait on them either.
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...
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.
I am Hispanic from Co. (land of Mex food) This place is the best Mex resturant in G-ville
Dined there Sunday afternoon, The food was terrible and the service was worse, I watched customer after customer told they would not seat anyone else before 3:30 and they closed at 4:00. The hamburger was under cooked and tasteless, the fries looked freezer burned and greasy. Will not go back
This is one of the best bars I have been in the people and the food the meatball is the best. Great happy hour prices and the world tour of beer if you can name it they most likly have it.
Beer selection is unsurpassed, price is good, and the #6 sandwitch was thick and heavy, the best I've eaten. Ambiance is good if you like it cold in summer, first class bar atmosphere, but not for kids. Clientel are young to middle age, with good conversation from educated people.
Great seafood, reasonably priced. Good time. Not a great kid menu as far as selection for younger children, but HUGE portions.
