Mango habanero wings, fries

Outstanding!!! This was my experience today as my 2nd time dining here. Maya (?) the nice young lady behind the counter is an absolute treat and I hope the owner knows this (I suspect he already does). Super pleasant and takes great care of customers. The fries are absolutely ON POINT! The mango habanero wings are excellent. I can't think of a single negative thing to say! (except maybe to wish it was a little closer LOL) :-) Keep up the great work and I hope your business thrives!

French fries

I highly recommend this new wing place! They offer traditional fried wings, bone-in or boneless. There are two things that really set this restaurant apart- the quality of the food and the quality of service. The key highlight of the wings are their crispiness. You will not find soggy wings here. The skin stays crunchy under the sauce yet the chicken is still moist and delicious. Some reviewers have mentioned the size of the wings. The size is comparable to every good wing I have ever eaten anywhere and are by no means small. The fries are extra crispy as well. I really enjoyed the coleslaw, which is a sweet and creamy style yet still with a good hit of acidity. We ordered hot garlic and spicy BBQ. The hot garlic is the best I have had anywhere. I liked the BBQ but it really could've had more of a kick. The ranch and bleu cheese sauces were both yummy also. This restaurant is miles ahead of many in Gainesville in terms of customer service. You are not just another wallet here. The owner clearly cares about his customers. He was very receptive to feedback about the sauces. I was amazed to hear that their chicken is never frozen and they make everything themselves. I can't wait to return to try the new things that are being added to the menu. Overall this place is awesome. I will happily wait longer for food that is made fresh to order, not that I feel we even waited long. The prices are fair. We will absolutely be returning.

Met up with some friends here. The customer service was great the lady was very friendly. They have some extra sweet tea if that's what you like and the food was good. I can't say that it was great because it's just basic wings. Their sauces were really good. If you're in the area, stop in to give them a try.

These wings were amazing! I got a 20 piece set of boned wings with 4 different flavors- lemon pepper dry rub, Korean BBQ, teriyaki, and honey BBQ. My personal favorite was the Korean BBQ, but all of them tasted just right. Not only the food was great but my server was a very nice gentleman that made sure we had everything we needed. They offer more than just wings, so I will definitely come back here and order more food!

Good wings & Good fries! I like my wings crispy, so these are a little too wet for my taste. Also I prefer a butter Garlic Parm over the paste style used. Other than that they are one of the best in Gainesville. Fries are good & crispy. Loosey's has some good wings too. Eat local!

very disappointed, I love wings and did research prior to coming to Gainesville and Bleubird had the best reviews ... I'm not sure if the quality of wings is that bad here but this is not it..... the wings were fried very soft and were literally floating in sauce, fries were super salty, however the service was great and the guy at the counter was very friendly but I won't be back Fried wings should be a little crispy and there is no need to drown them with sauce ... btw I ordered garlic parm, spicy garlic (picture included) and BBQ (not in the picture)

Apple Maps struggled to provided proper directions to parking and it might be because the area is under construction so just give yourself time to find Loosey's especially if going for dinner. It sure is worth the effort though, especially if you get Matthew as your server. He is full of wit and great local knowledge. He charmed our table from our first encounter. Loosey's has to be a local favorite because the quality and freshness of the food is outstanding. Matthew is a local treasure and made our experience there so memorable and fun. We all remarked that it must be so electric there when live music is on stage or it's a Gator game day. We started with the loaded potato skins. There were 5 large pieces that were covered with toppings and delivered pipping hot. I could easily order that as a meal next time I'm in town. Their house ranch dipping sauce that is drizzled on top was delicious. Several in our group ordered the Chic-fil Loosey's, which is a buttermilk fried chicken sandwich, but I wasn't able to grab a photo as they were so eager to get started eating it. The portion of chicken breast was extremely large and the batter was perfectly crispy. Both diners exclaimed it was one of their all- time favorite chicken sandwiches they had ever eaten. Another diner took advantage of their wing special and exclaimed the Buffalo Garlic sauce was fantastic and she paired them with their ranch as well. She loved their added touch of the small paper basket topping the plate of wings for the bones. I had the Classic Beef Burger and it was cooked perfectly. There was a nice peppery flavor to the grill of the burger and the patty size was more than I expected. Especially for the price. I was so happy we found Loosey's. It was really good food. I encourage you to look past the construction mess and the "old wooden bar" stereotypes and trust me when o say, they take great pride on preparing high quality food.

Beautiful day so we sat outside in a lovely patio area. Great beer menu with draughts imported or domestic as well as a full bar. The menu was pretty much standard bar fare I had fish and chips and my wife had Mac and cheese. The fries on my plate were covered in salt. I tried to shake it off and wound up with a layer of salt on my plate. Most restaurant food is too salty for me as I cook at home low salt but this was crazy. I decided to try the Mac and cheese. It also had a cap of salt on it. I tried to dig to the bottom of the crock thinking that wouldn't be salty but I was wrong. The dish was prepared with salt throughout. Time to go and I did complain. The waitress said she hears that a lot and she offered to replace our meal to go but we didn't take her up on that offer. The fish was great! And we loved the vibe of the restaurant inside and out. I would go back again but knowing that I would order SALT FREE !!

I didn't want it anymore .Fast forward, then this guy brings out the checks while I'm still eating. Like really? And then I was a little offended that he gave us 2 separate checks without asking.Whats funny is that Me and my best friend always try to pay for each other lol, so who told him to do separate checks. But I try not to assume... Now the food was just okay. Had the gator tail and it was salty. Then after "no pasta" I went with the summer salad. And I guess they were out of stuff for this too. It was missing the Blueberry and the apple. Guess they figure they would see if I noticed. Well I did notice, i was just over it, and was just too late complain.

They definitely need to invest in a filtration system because water shouldn't have a flavor. This sums it up. Service was pleasant and the place clean. That gets a star each from me.

I hate to leave bad reviews, but I think want to be honest. I came to The Spot recently for lunch…read moreand was not happy with my experience. Located in midtown, this appears to a fast casual place that caters towards college students. They serve "Greek" street food, salads, quesadillas, burgers, and more. The food is relatively inexpensive. Service is fine, actually the people working there are friendly. Food is made to order and comes out quickly. There is some seating available inside (it's limited) but there are plenty of tables in the hall. I ordered the Street Chicken Souvlaki which included grilled chicken with tomato, onion, fries inside a pita, topped with ketchup and mustard. This was a very large portion. The pita was good, but pretty much fell apart the second I picked it up. While I liked the chicken, it was over seasoned and I didn't care for the "sauced" quality of it. I'm not sure if they marinated it or tossed it in some sauce, but it was too much. The fries were decent, but not super crispy. I felt that they were not necessarily and a little over-the-top. The tomato was fresh and but the red onion slices were very thick. The mustard and ketchup didn't work with the seasonings on the chicken. The dish was just all over the place and I couldn't even finish half of it before I started feeling sick. I ordered a side of onion rings as well. This was a large order and the size was great. But these onion rings were over-battered and were fresh, but not crispy at all. I bit into one and ended up pulling out the whole onion rings. Not good. Overall, I was very disappointed with my experience. The food was so heavy and overly salted I couldn't even eat half of it. I ended up giving it to a homeless person on the way out. The food left my stomach in shambles the rest of the day. Service is fine. But the food is not desirable. It is safe to say I will not be returning, which is unfortunate.

For me to leave a review this negative, the service truly had to be poor. Last night, we chose this place to celebrate my Irish heritage with a green beer and some light food. There is plenty of parking and outdoor seating, which is a plus. However, when we arrived, there was a line of people waiting for a table, and it quickly turned chaotic. One woman tried to cut the line, and another wanted to argue over a small booth that her family wouldn't have even fit in. Eventually, we were seated. I understand that holidays can be busy, so we were trying to be patient. Our waiter came over, dropped off menus, said "I'll be right back," and disappeared. After 25 minutes of waiting at the table, I had to flag down another waitress. Meanwhile, at least three tables that were seated after us already had drinks and had placed their food orders. I understand being busy, but at the very least, we should have been greeted or offered drinks. The waitress we flagged down said she would help us, which seemed promising at first, but then we waited another 20 minutes just for drinks. I'm not sure if it was an understaffing issue or something else, but the service was extremely poor. We considered leaving a one-star review, but the waitress did seem like she was trying. The food was okay, we ordered light items, and it still took quite a while to arrive. Overall, we would recommend skipping this place.
