Fried pickles that were perfectly seasoned, pimento cheese Rangoon that had a very unique flavor and delicious dipping sauce, our friends enjoyed bacon wrapped dates. We also tried the duck confit chorizo egg rolls. I didn't taste the chorizo, but the egg rolls had a fantastic flavor. I had hush puppy coated fried red fish over smoked Gouda grits. It was so good. My wife and one of our friends had the chicken special. So many flavors. The final dish at the table was the short ribs that were, again, seasoned perfectly. The only challenge was how loud it was in the restaurant. When we arrived, there weren't many people in the restaurant but, as the place filled up, it became impossible to carry on a conversation. However, the service was great and the food was interesting and flavorful. Definitely recommend!

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.

This review is so long overdue. We first visited Antebellum shortly after we moved to Gainesville 6…read moreyears ago, and it immediately became our favorite restaurant in the area. It's by far the best! The two owners, Nick and Alison, are the reason for this. They have incredibly high standards and that's reflected in every dish - from the ingredients to the presentation. Every time, we get appetizers, entrees, and dessert (because it's all so delicious), and their cocktail menu just keeps getting better and better. It's been solid since our first visit, but over the past year they tripled the size and elevated the menu so much we think Antebellum now rivals the best cocktail spots in Atlanta! If you live in the area and haven't yet been, or if you're visiting, make a reservation - and be sure to order appetizers, mains, and dessert (and of course cocktails). There's no need to overthink what you order. Every dish and cocktail they serve is exceptional.

This night, they had live music and dinner specials. We ordered the appetizer special which this night it was Boudin Balls - sausage and shrimp with cheese, rice and Cajun seasoning, battered and fried. For our meals, we ordered coconut shrimp (and upcharge from Gulf Shrimp platter) and my boyfriend ordered the dinner special, Cajun seafoood pasta - spaghetti with a Cajun Alfredo sauce with octopus, calamari, shrimp, scallops, and clams. All the food was absolutely FANTASTIC and the service was phenomenal as well. We had our order taken, appetizer, and food in under 15 minutes. We were so impressed with the specials, and their portion sizes were huge. We couldn't stop talking about our meal when we got home - we will be back!

There was a long line, but the wait wasn't that bad. There's a large parking lot next door so parking wasn't an issue. The meat and veggies are good. It is my understanding that the vegetables are vegan, they don't add meat for flavoring. They have a good salad bar, but some items are difficult to reach and it slows down the line. Extra long tongs or working on the layout might help with the salad bar. The staff are pleasant and they wait on the tables bringing drink refills and so forth.
