This is by far our favorite place while in gainesville. even my 91-year-old mother enjoyed her old style burger. we enjoyed both the fresh of the suppe and the salat. They also have a great beer selection that was brilliant. the service was excellent and top notch. we hope to be back soon! keep the great service and fresh products.
Great food and drinks on a Saturday afternoon. Friendly, attentive server. Poke fresh and delicious, burger perfectly cooked.
Great place for drinks and charcuterie. They have a good variety of meats and cheeses that all taste delicious. The actual entrees/small plates were a little too salty. In addition, the steak frites, while tasty, had too many fries in proportion to steak. Service was great and they really knew their menu. Decoration and ambiance were also perfect. Edit: Had to give five stars because they probably have the best burgers in Gainesville. The patty was cooked perfectly medium and juicy, bun was perfectly toasted and didn't get soggy. The fried chicken BLT was a little too salty, but it's hard to beat the prices here.
This spot is a hidden gem. The live music out on their patio on Tuesdays nights are so much fun, and it's got a casual, rustic atmosphere. But what lands it five stars is the food. I have yet to try a meal here that I'm lukewarm about. In particular, Theyhave the best brisket sandwich in town. This was the most delicious brisket meal I've had in the thirty years I've spent on thisplanet. Absolutely decadent and heavenly. You have the option to dip it in a broth-based sauce. I will be back for thissandwich, and I'm already craving another. Thanks Caine for the great service!
We went there around 1535, and it was a very chill/relaxed atmosphere. Order at the bar, grab your NA drinks at the cooler in the front. Service was decent, albeit busy. Likely preparing for their dinner rush. The fried green tomato sandwich was perfectwith the whipped goat cheese. Could have used a little hot ???? to make it pop, but it was fresh fromage--so that is cool. Thepork Verde was tasty and had a good amount of heat. I would have used candied jalapenos instead of pickled, but it was goodnonetheless. Kids loved the fries! And their beers-on-tap selection is killer.
