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.
David's is GREAT! Whenever I feel like BBQ, David's is the place to go! I even told my relatives and when they come and visit, all they ever want is David's!
My sister just love to go here we can't seem to get enough. We love the way we're treated every time never once have we had a bad experince. The staff is more then willing to make sure that you HAPPY with your entire meal.
Good food, but they changed the coconut milk curry dish and the crunchy roll and now they both suck.

No one answered, automated voice said thankyou for holding, someone will be right with you, and NO ONE ever picked up...as a manager of a resturaunt in Gainesville, I am very unhappy. Our drivers will not treat customers and mislead them as Hungry howies has done tonight.
La Fiesta is a great place to eat- that's funny i know the owners and the statement about them not caring about your wait is BULLSHIT my friend above. Well , it's great , best mexican food in town and to you above again , i'm sure you can find a local mexicali!!!
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 ...
Fatty Ribs, good ice tea and stick with the pork sandwiches they are good. Beans are lame and the potato salad tastes ike grocery store deli stuff. And I have been ther at least 10 times over the years. Just not a lot to choose from for BBQ resturaunts in Gville.
The best lunch specials in town!!
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...
Service was wonderful! Finally, a restaurant that is neighborhood-friendly and family-oriented. The service was prompt and the staff was always cheerful. The management is very attentive. The food is excellent quality and value for the dollar! I recommend this to anyone, resident or visitor.
this is the worst excuse for italian food i have ever had... i had heard plenty of good things about the great italian food that napolatanos serves, and all i can think is that those people have never had italian before. the food was bland, the bread was soggy and had no taste, and the desserts com...

fabulous food, not fast, but everything was made from scratch and seemed so healthy. great place for a vegetarian or a meat eater.
