    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.

    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.

    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.

    Food was great (mussels and chowder) Service was good…read more Ambiance was great with a view of the lake.

    On a Sunday at 6:00 PM the place was packed, so I must be in the minority on this one. The dog…read moreowners here, are an annoyance, what a shame. "Short leash" in RULES FOR DOGS- yet a person continuously allowed his dog to walk in front of everyone in a path to get in and out. "Remove dogs if they are noisy" RULES FOR DOGS - Another's dog barked and squealed nonstop throughout our meal. I even asked the food expeditor if I could buy the dog a steak so it would shut up. He replied "we cannot do anything like that". It is hard to enjoy the sing along music when people allow their pet to bark nonstop, of course one barks they must all chime in occasionally. I get it, it is the lake, want to bring your pet, then please teach it to behave. Our waitress did an ok job throughout the meal. We started with beer and wine and the Calamari Appetizer, this was pretty tasty and enjoyable. Next, she had the salmon as did our guest, they both liked the dish, note about the sauce, it is a bit on the spicy side, but very tasty. I had the Fish and Chips, the fish was fried crispy and cooked perfectly, not greasy at all and very good, the coleslaw and fries were also tasty. I am sure we would NOT make this a regular place based solely on the unruly pets. There are many other places on the lake to eat where the food is just as good, and they do not allow the pet owners to ruin other people's meals. I gave the Pete's the benefit of 3 stars even though 2.5 would be more appropriate based on the lack of enforcement of their own posted Rules for Dogs. Why have a sign?
