This time around, I had a real hankering for a steak, and I had heard that Loosey's had a decent one, so I figured I would give it a shot. It was a pretty quiet day, and walking into the place it was somewhat dead... only a couple of tables seated. A good thing, too, because parking in the area to eat there is an absolute nightmare thanks to the City of Gainesville's approach to managing the downtown area. This is what I would call a typical downtown pub in a college town, built for having a lot of standing folks coming in during the nighttime hours to drink and have a good time, but during the earlier hours the dark wood and faint smell of stale beer tells you just what this place is normally up to and how it thrives during its busy hours. I was greeted and told to sit anywhere, so I found a good two-top to sit at and looked over the menu, knowing that I was going to be going for a steak. I went with the New York Strip with fries as a side. The wait staff was cordial, and my steak came out in a reasonable amount of time. The steak is good, and the price is right in this day and age. The fries worked well with the steak. I would go back for lunch here. No chance of me going here in the evening hours though. Finding parking in the middle of the day was bad enough, I don't even want to imagine what it is like in the evening.

The fish and chips are still amazing; just make sure you cool them on a napkin to reduce some of the fry oil and so you burn the roof of your mouth. This fish is freshly made to order. I love the pork lion sandwich. Straight out of Indiana. It can be a bit dry so mayo, pickle and lettuce set it up nicely. I didn't get a burger this time but they're still great. As I watch all other burger chains go through shrinkflation, Culver's has maintained their quality.

There were only 2 people ordering at the counter so I used the ladies' room real quick while my husband reviewed their menu. The water at the main sink was not running at all so I could not use it to wash my hands. Luckily, I carry a spray bottle of rubbing alcohol with me so I just used that. I hope the female employees have a different restroom because they wouldn't be able to wash their hands either The lady that took the order was a little distant / disinterested / zoning out, polite but not very friendly like she's rather be somewhere else. We got our fountain drink first and waited for our order to be prepared: Culver Deluxe double meal with a side order of large onion rings. Total was about $19. It took about 10 minutes and the To Go busboy gave us our food, he was pleasant, polite, even smiled and thanked us for visiting. We left and had our food on the drive home - the Culver Deluxe was made well. It tasted fresh and the veggies were crisp. The large order of onion rings were crunchy just like we wanted them. And the crinkle fries were a great addition to complete our fast food craving. If I didn't visit the restroom, my rating would be higher. Also, staff allowed a non service animal (looked like a poodle mix) on a leash walk around the ordering counter area. I like pets but not near my restaurant orders. Maybe there should be a sign on the door to prevent that. Anyway, I hope the women's restroom faucet issue is resolved soon since that is major health and safety issue. Not sure if we'll be back again, but I did submit my main concerns to the Culver survey so maybe they'll contact me about it.

Very attentive and got us everything we need without hesitation and with a smile! I had the sirloin steak with rice, broccoli & tomatoes I had my steak medium rare and was spot on and tender. My wife had the Mushroom Swiss Burger with ground turkey. The burger was juicy and had a good covering of cheese along with lettuce, tomato & red onion.

We've been looking for a Brazilian restaurant because I really miss a small, family-owned spot on…read moreCape Cod, and it's been way too long since I've had authentic Brazilian food. So, of course, we found this place on Yelp, and you know I had to try it! Let's start with our arrival. It honestly didn't even look like there was a restaurant there! The building looks almost like apartments or condos, but let me tell you: this place is a hidden gem tucked away in this little neighborhood. If it's raining, I would recommend making a reservation because the restaurant is small inside, but it is totally worth it! They do offer bar style seating as well as outside seating. We absolutely loved the authentic vibe. We had multiple servers who all took great care of us, and I believe one of our servers was named Mateo. He was fabulous at explaining the menu to us. I was telling him how much I missed the little Brazilian spot we used to have up on Cape Cod and how much we travel, and he was so friendly and helpful. I started with a Peach Bellini, which tasted like they literally squeezed a fresh peach right into the glass. It was SO fresh and refreshing! For an appetizer, we ordered the QUEIJO COALHO, and let me tell you, this might be the yummiest appetizer I've ever had! The glaze was sweet and absolutely perfect, and the cheese was cooked just right. It had that delicious little crunch without being too much. The sweetness was the little cheat I needed before my meal. Next up was my PICANHA GRELHADA. The steak was cooked perfectly, and the rice had such delicious flavor. The sautéed onions were the perfect match on top. I feel like sometimes restaurants skimp out on the onions, but there were SO many here that almost every bite of steak had some, and I loved every minute of it! My rice was cooked perfectly, so it was fresh, light, and fluffy. The fries were crispy, and crunchy, which I also enjoyed. The steak was a little more fatty than what I'm used to. Where I'm from up North, they usually slice some of that off for you, so this was actually my first time having a full cut of picanha. Although, when I brought some home to my cat, he absolutely LOVED the fat. Overall, I really loved the decor and the vibe of this place. If you're looking for romantic date night, this is the place to go! We can't recommend this place enough. The friendly service, delicious food, and authentic Brazilian cuisine, spices, and flavors were absolutely wonderful. It honestly made me miss Cape Cod and brought back memories of the little family-owned place I loved there. We highly recommend this hidden gem for your next Brazilian date night!

I've been enjoying Afternoon since the very start. I've watched the decor evolve. The patio is a…read morebig favorite. I prefer inside, as I'm a people watcher and I love to see "the machine" work when I'm dining. The crew is always very fun and kind. I admire how well the training seems to be. The food is just healthy, simple and done right. They use some actual imagination and ingenuity while still maintaining a scratch kitchen and not completely going crazy. I admire this. It's not easy. Produce is a gamble daily. Meat prices are insane. Afternoon does not compromise. I never needed anything more than a blood orange mimosa and avocado toast, maybe the occasional Dutch baby or pasty. However, the mystery, mystique, whimsy and steadfast "fresh to death" food stance will make you want to try new things here. I am a vegetarian, but more than that I'm picky and they have always had more than enough delectable options. I was happy with brunch... and now I'm elated and estatic about the new dinner service. I've visited twice for "After Dark" and it was exceptional. It has some real creativity without sacrificing your health. I'm a fanatic. Please give them a visit and try something new. Life is too short to skip meals at Afternoon! I love them and you will too. Not many spots in Gainesville cook food that is good for you to eat daily. They also brew coffee and they are in a pretty fun neighborhood. Across from Cypress & Grove Brewery. Same parking lot as Serendipity & Working Food. It's the Entertainment District so you can grab a cocktail and walk your dog home! I don't get paid for reviews (yet) :)

We went during THE busiest time so we were lucky to find parking in the cramped but free parking lot. The hostess let us know there was a 35 min wait for indoor seating for 2. Outdoor seating was available, but we decided against it since it was a hot n sunny day in the 90s. We were ok with the wait and gave the hostess my name and phone number to get a text when the table was ready. While we waited, we walked to Serpentine plant shop across the parking lot and shopped a little. The text that our table was ready arrived 34 minutes so it was timed perfectly with the end of my shopping... we were seated soon after walking back into the restaurant. We had a corner table near the drink prep/coffee station so we had a front row seat to the preparing of many different teas and coffees while we decided what to order. A note about the table / seat size, we are skinny people and the seating fit us well but anyone somewhat wider would have trouble being comfortable. The high top tables might be a better option for those guests. The entire restaurant was packed when we came in and remained pretty full for our visit. There are 2 single-occupancy restrooms to the far left of the main entrance. They were clean enough and stocked appropriately. We were served by Jane and she answered all our menu questions. We ordered a cold matcha latte, chai latte, Mexican Coke, crispy potatoes, afternoon hash extra egg, 1/2 mushroom toast, and a turkey club no lettuce no bacon plus desserts (to go) chocolate chip cookie, puff pastry, and cinnamon roll. Jane brought out our to go desserts soon after the order. Our drinks arrived minutes after. However, our food took a bit longer (which we expected with a 100% full restaurant and Jane apologized for the wait, letting us know our food was on it's way about 20 minutes in) around 30 minutes. While we were waiting, there was punk rock / alt music in the background and a bunch of people's conversations going on so don't expect to have quiet dining if you go during a Saturday busy brunch. The Turkey Club was on thick Texas toast with dill in the mayo and tasted clean, fresh, like a delightful treat that grandma would make on a hot summer day. My husband's hash and crispy potatoes were the right amount of crunch and spice. The crispy potatoes had chunks of lime in it that were alarmingly sour but somehow complimented the dish. My mushroom toast had a delectable sauce topping with fresh scallions on french bread. We were very satisfied with our choices and had 1/2 my sandwich leftover plus our desserts to bring home. Many of the guests left empty plates when leaving so it seems their food is a hit! The only reason my "atmosphere" rating is missing a star is that our table was unfortunately near one of the restrooms so we would occasionally smell the disinfectant odor when someone opened the door. This was just a seating "feature" so of course it could not be helped. As far as other smells, we did notice that the kitchen, even if it was nearby, did not waft any fried food odors or smoke so their cooking area ventilation must be top-notch. All in all, a great foodie experience, cost about $100 with generous tip. Jane provided super customer service. We would come back for brunch or lunch here again, just not at the same table area
