    Lunch Chicken Tender with Fries
    Jenna D.

    Stopped here for lunch yesterday and had a nice meal outside on the front patio facing the town square. Weather was perfect and all the fall leaves around us made for such a pleasant day. Seated right away when we arrived. Service was quick and our server checked up on us a few times to make sure we had everything we needed. The chicken fingers are just naturally GF, so this was a great choice of lunch spot for me! They were more so chicken nuggets than chicken tenders (as you can see in the picture), but it was a good meal for someone who rarely gets to eat fried chicken. My dad got a Cuban sandwich with regular fries. He LOVED the fries and thought the sandwich was very good. Bonus - they had sweet potato fries despite them not being on the menu, so I got those with my chicken. They seemed baked rather than fried and I think they were the highlight of the meal - so salty and soft inside/lightly crispy outside! So yummy dipped in their honey mustard.

    New ownership! Loving the changes!!!Breakfast, lunch, or dinner? This is definitely the place to go! Couldn't be more pleased with the few times we have been here since new ownership change! It's unbelievable how outstanding the service is! Food was excellent! I've never tried hummus before coming here and eating the Pickle Hummus, all I can say is wow! Atmosphere is great no matter what time of day you're there! 10/10 recommend this place on the Gainesville Square!

    Rubbing it in that they have sleazy wooden cap hot sauce

    Although the staff hustles, it takes a long time to get lunch. Fried fish and grilled fish tacos were good, but NO Tabasco- the #1 hit sauce in the south! To rub it in to southerners they have a poster of Tabasco as you go to the restroom. No salsa and no Tabasco isn't as bad as the bugs flying around as you eat.

    Fish and chips.

    Great spot on the square for some good grub and a drink. I have been here a couple of times. It has always been good. Simple menu done well. This time I got the fish and chips. All was hot, juicy and perfectly cooked. The Apple and brie grilled cheese looked really good too. Great service and good food. A great place on the square in Gainesville.

    Lunch Caesar Salad with chicken

    I went to lunch at Avocados with my daughter in law on a Monday afternoon. First of all, we were grateful that they were open on a Monday as some places in the square are not. We opted to sit outside as their area was nice and shady and the breeze felt great. Our server came out fairly soon. I never caught her name as she didn't state it and I forgot to ask (and at the end of the meal we paid on the tablet and I didn't request a receipt) but she was a sweet gal. We ordered drinks...I don't remember the names of them, and they don't list the names of their specialty drinks on their website, at least that I can see, but I know I ordered a lemonade and vodka drink. They do have a full bar, so anything is possible. I ordered a grilled cheese sandwich, which was great. Lots of melted cheese and toasted perfectly. It came with fries, which were amazing! My daughter in law ordered a chicken Cesar salad, which she very much enjoyed. It was nice that they put enough salad dressing on it so she didn't have to ask for more. It was a very simple meal, done very well. I did ask for a side of ranch which came it in a tiny cup. I would have liked more and I'm sure I could have asked for another cup, but it was hot and I didn't want to make her go back and forth for something that I probably really didn't need. Haha. I will happily return to Avocados again. I noted that there were loads of gluten free options for those that this is importantly to, and I believe i read they fry their items in soy bean oil, which is great for those veggie folks!

    Avocadoes is a Gainesville staple. Their food is always good and consistent. The service is friendly and fast. The restaurant has outdoor seating but their hidden gem is their Sunday brunch. It's buffet style with a menu for made to order items and you can't beat it. I can't wait to go back now that it's getting a little cooler and sit on their outdoor seating.

    'Bout to have some DINNER!!

    We had a gift card for $50 and was not accepted because it was from another owner and they refused to take it. The food was just ok.

    A little pricey but the food and staff were top notch. An all around good time. I like too that it's right on the square.

    Ask the Community - Avocados Restaurant

    Where is parking?

    There is a public parking garage around the corner and lots of street parking near the restaurant. The street parking can be challenging if there is any kind of activity at the park which can get busy, especially on the weekends.

    What time do they stop serving dinner?

    Depends on the night - hours are posted on their website: https://www.avocadoseats.com/

    Do they have gluten free options?

    We sure do! Please check out our menu.

    Do they have vegetarian options?

    I believe they did!

    Do they serve Mimosas on Sundays?

    I do believe so. They have a decent wine bar.

    We've been a few times now and it doesn't disappoint! The staff has always been super friendly,…read moregood with service, and helpful. The inside has a very cool old school building feel while being trendy at the same time. It's quite a large place with two sides and outdoor seating plus restrooms on each side. The appetizers and main dishes that we have had so far are all fantastic. The fish and chips are some of the best I've had. The fish isn't overly breaded and greasy like some other places. Our son loves the fried green bean appetizer but eats most of it himself so we hardly ever get to enjoy it. Once again the breading is light resembling a panko type crust so you aren't just eating deep fried objects. We've tried numerous other appetizers and so far nothing has been a let down. If you're looking for a good menu with quality food and drink options (they have a full bar) then this is it. Cool setting. Easy to get to. Great food. Friendly staff.

Absolutely. But it was fabulous -- bold, unexpected, and delicious. After walking through the rest of town, I found myself right back for a second round. This time, it was their creative take on shrimp and grits. Another hit -- inventive and full of flavor. My only complaint? Neither dish was served quite hot enough for my taste. Next time, I'll be sure to ask for everything piping hot. Because yes -- I'd definitely go back.

Pelican Pete's being on the water and making it easy to dock your boat and come on up is suuuper convenient. Who wants to pack a lunch and make room in the cooler? Nobody. That definitely means this place gets busy though. So prepare yourself for possibly a long wait. Some friends and I visited Saturday afternoon. We put our names in for our group (10 of us) and had a wait of an hour. Not horrible. We took a bathroom break and hung out at the boat until it was our time. Pro- the bathroom was surprisingly clean! Con- only 3 stalls so there was a significant line. When we sat down we had to wait a bit to get our orders taken which was a little annoying but there were lots of people there so I'm sure our server was swamped. She was friendly. The food was pretty good! I liked the dock burger that I got. I loved the sauce they put on it, paired really well with the carmelized onions. Fries were awesome! And I loved the Lava Flow drink as well. The way they brought out our food was not the greatest. They had a food runner bringing the plates out and asking the whole table "who ordered the _____" and some of us ordered the same thing without an ingredient so that was a lot of fun for a table of 10. Why not hire more servers and have them bring the food to their own tables? Much better idea especially for larger groups where they know who ordered what. Prices are a little high, especially for things like fish & chips. $24? Kinda weird. Not sure why a burger is $6 less than simple fried fish. Anyway. I know it's on the water and there are costs involved in that, so I won't harp on it too much. I'd happily come back because I enjoyed the food and love how easy it is to come up to it off the water. But it would be really nice if they had more bathrooms and knew who ordered what when they ran food. Oh and if they lowered the price of the seafood.
