They make the best impossible burger, as well as their veggie and big dick. The service is great, all the workers are kind. The outdoor seating is always clean. You have to get their sweet potato tots! read more

wow these burgers are superb! relatively quick service despite it being a busier saturday evening when we visited! will be back! nice outdoor tables to sit when the weather is cooperating :) read more

This place has been our go to spot when we are in town for games and want something quick to eat. The burgers are ok but the Dick's sauce really helps the flavor - without it its nothing special. The veggie burger is my favorite thing to order by far and the vegan Dick's sauce is delicious. The drive thru takes a while so if you find a parking spot use the walk up window. You will save yourself quite a bit of time. The milk shakes are good as well as the fresh brewed iced tea. Favorite side is the sweet potato tots - not something you find at many places read more

Sweet tea was on point, hamburger was great, fries were less than mid. But why, after being the first walk up, did the four people that got there after me get there food first? No explanation, just attitude. Like, daring me to say something. I don't know if it wasn't the dream team I was working with today or what. My advice, too many cooks in the kitchen. Trim the fat and keep those looking for gainful employment, not a place to socialize. read more

Actually very good the dick sauce (lol) was definitely on point and so was my burger and fries

Dick Mondell's Burgers & Fries is a small hamburger stand located in a busy part of town with a lot of student foot traffic. Parking is limited in the area and there are many private lots with signs indicating that towing is strictly enforced. The eatery itself has no parking lot of its own, nor does it have an indoor dining room. There is a small outdoor seating area with a few tables and parasols but it was raining when I arrived so I used the drive-thru window instead. The drive-thru itself was very narrow, being able to accommodate perhaps three vehicles maximum so a long queue can mean backed-up traffic in the area. Since it wasn't feasible to use the seating area, I parked in the nearby Elks Lodge and ate in my car. I ordered the amusingly named Big Dick with bacon. Additionally, I ordered a Diet Coke, which came with a paper straw, but curiously was in a plastic cup, defeating the environmental benefits it may have. The Big Dick was on a slightly toasted bun, with two beef patties, lettuce, onion, pickles, and a special Dick Sauce. The beef tasted and smelled fresh, the bacon (which was extra) was generous, and the burger was clearly made to order. The Dick Sauce was a little on the thin side for my preferences, and eating in the car wasn't ideal. That said, eating a Big Dick was a messy experience. Overall, Dick Mondell's Burgers & Fries is recommended. However, since seating is limited both in area and subject to the weather, I do recommend going when the weather is nice. read more

I had no idea what to expect when we pulled up to this tiny building downtown, but I was definitely not expected to be ABSOLUTELY BLOWN AWAY!! The place is a small rectangle on the street corner, and patrons can either park in street parking and walk up to a window, or drive through and order. This makes the entire experience seem super authentic and very home-y. This attitude is carried over to the staff! They're very friendly and helpful. There aren't many menu options, but everything you could possibly need is with the burger. We ordered The Original Big Dick (yes, that's the actual name of the burger!) and a large fries. We didn't know that cheese was separate, so we weren't expecting much from a cheese-less burger... but WOW! We were wrong! The burger was absolutely delicious, and the fries were genuinely some of the best I have ever had. I would 100% recommend coming here as soon as you can!! read more

Dick Mondell's - 1/2 ginger 1/2 tea drink - Burgers Near Me - Gainesville, Florida

Amazing burgers! Got the Junior Dick classic. Sweet potato fries paired with any of the burgers are so so good! Service was great - received my food in under five minutes. The vibes of the place were also pretty on point. Tables were clean and the umbrella set up is a good touch. read more

Amazing never been and was blown away. Super fresh and classic! Totally would go again

I only give this three stars because there's nothing special, except for the sweet potato tater tots. Those were amazing the Smashburger was made fresh. I do appreciate that but it's like every other smash burger, well done dried out. The vegan cookie from across the street was amazing and the Arnold Palmer or half and half with ginger was delicious. Top marks for that I do recommend though, and I would go again.also it's a bit pricey read more

My wife and I went by here after a day at Sweetwater Nature preserve - Dick's has some AMAZING comfort food. Got there by 6:30 pm and food came out in great time, was hot, fries were crispy, and the sandwiches had really good flavor (chicken sandwich and the Original hamburger). It helps that you get to sit on the wood chop area and grab whatever drink you want and enjoy the spring air here in Florida, so the setting was hard to beat. Overall we had great food served by friendly staff in a nice setting, would highly recommend for a casual dinner out! read more

Burgers were delicious, it's more of a fast food place bc there is no indoor seating. They do have a drive thru. Overall service and food is great. Doesn't really have any ambiance, definitely worth it for the burgers and fries. read more

Outdoor seating and drive through available. The burger is a classic charbroiled burger, had the original Dicks burger, strawberry milk shake and opus coffee. The Dicks burger and strawberry shake was absolutely delicious and hit the spot. The coffee was "okay" - like I wouldn't go there for the coffee but definitely will return for the strawberry milk shake (among the best I've had) and the burger will be a repeat if I'm in the area. The burger wasn't greasy and the onions, pickles and their Dicks special sauce was tasty. It does an old fashion burger well. read more

Went here for the first time the other day and it is amazing! Fast, simple menu, DELICIOUS!

I finally got a chance to try Dick Mondell's on a Sunday night with a friend. We both got the classic Big Dick double burger and split some fries. The patties were freshly grilled but for $8 the burger felt a little small. The nostalgic feel is worth experiencing at least once. read more

Delicious burgers and quick!! Get extra sauce on the side to dip your fries in or opt to get gator tots, they're delicious !!

WOW! This is definitely THE spot to get a burger in Gainesville. I've recently gotten into burgers and consider myself a minor league burger conosseiur. For starters, the buns are nice and toasty and proportionate to all the goods inside the burger. The patty is moist and well flavored too. The Dick Sauce is also SOOO yum, no words other than that. All in all, this burger is a go to for a good price. Also--get the fries, you won't regret it!!! read more

Dick Mondell's - Burgers Near Me - Gainesville, Florida

Awful menu theme. Didn't order the double cheeseburger because I was turned off by the name Big Dick. There were 5-6 employees inside the small building yet it took effort to get them to open the window to give me napkins and ketchup. Small serving of greasy tater tot fries and very chewy chicken sandwich. Not a good value or experience. read more

The food was pretty good, but a little on the pricier side. $20 for essential a whole meal is a little pricey, but what I got was filling and it was a pretty good burger. The service was quick as well. As for the actual ambiance, I'm not sure I would stick around too long, more like an order and go type of place. Overall not bad, but I'd probably go somewhere else for a burger. read more

Not the kind of burger you expect from a drive thru. This burger could hold it own against steakhouse burgers. Fresh ground beef with classic fixings on a beautiful brioche bun. What more could you want from a drive-thru? OMG sweet potato tots! Hot and delicious! Can't wait to go back and try their milkshakes! The menu features other options like chicken burgers and plant based that I would like to try. The only downside is there isn't any parking if you aren't using the drive-thru. read more

Dick Mondell's - Burgers Near Me - Gainesville, Florida

I don't know what I enjoyed more, the food or making my brothers order their food using the menu vernacular "big dick" when ordering their food. The burgers are huge and, not being much of a burger eater, I really enjoyed it. The dick sauce that comes on the burgers is really tasty. Fries are good but the shake was my favorite part of the meal. Don't skip out on the shake when you're here. Seriously, be sure to get one. The worst part about this place is the drive thru. That thing is a nightmare. We parked across the street and ate outside, but watched the mayhem that the drive thru causes. Traffic backs up in the road and blocks the intersection. It's a mess and surprising they can get away with having it the way it's set up like it is. I wouldn't have the patience to even attempt to get through that horror show, but if you're brave and just have to use the drive thru...good luck to you! read more

You know how when you eat at most fast food restaurants you feel sick afterwards? Not at Dick's! I honestly don't know how they do it. It must be the fresh ingredients. It's also more expensive than fast food, but worth every penny. My usual is an entree salad + Impossible burger, which is $11.25. I usually don't order salads out because the lettuce quality can be subpar, like iceberg only, but this lettuce looks like some satisfying buttercrunch. My only complaint about the salad is they usually only include one container of dressing which isn't quite enough for the portion size, but I add extra dressing at home. They even have milkshakes with *local* Wainwright Farms dairy, if you're lactose-inclined. They also have cold brew which is *just as good as cold brew from a legitimate coffee shop* which is not always the case at restaurants, especially fast food establishments. Dick's-- I'm in awe. read more

It can get messy, but it's oh so delicious! Fresh ground beef with their homemade sauce and a nice toasted brioche bun. Their sweet potato tots are also to die for as their sweet and salty with a nice sprinkle of salt. I plan on going back to try one of their milkshakes one day, but it's definitely one of the best burgers in town! read more

Dick Mondell's - Dick Jr. - Burgers Near Me - Gainesville, Florida

I grew up on lots of really great burgers and I'm quite a snob. But when I tell ya Dick Mondell's burger literally changed my life the night I had it for dinner I would only be slightly over-exaggerating. There's really not much to the place and their menu is pretty basic. There's not really a parking lot and their ordering box from the drive thru is right off of the road when you turn in, but the service was quick and efficient and the brown bag that was hand stamped that was handed me carried all the goods I needed! The burger was perfectly seasoned, with melty cheese, special sauce, lettuce, onion and pickle. Kind of like an In-n-out burger but better... mmm just thinking about it makes my mouth water. I even went with the Orange Creamsicle shake and would so go again just for that. They do have a walk up window and some picnic tables if you're into that sort of thing. read more

We were curious about this place from the buzz online. I was also excited that there were two vegetarian burger options. The first thing you need to know is that you are paying much higher prices than your normal drive thru. Dick Mondell's says it uses higher quality ingredients for its food, and for the most part I could tell. The issues we had were with the service. In addition to burgers we ordered a vanilla shake. We waited almost 15 minutes in the drive thru for the food. I was handed the shake first, and this thing was overflowing. There was milkshake running down the sides of the cup. It was way too overfilled. I got vanilla milkshake all over my hands, on my pants and in my car. I had to hold it out the window. In what world does someone think that giving a customer something like this is OK? A different employee took the shake after seeing me hold it out of the car and put it in another cup. Thanks, but I still had a mess in my car. After this we waited 10 minutes until our burgers were done. I had to ask for napkins because none were provided. read more

Pretty solid burger place! The meat is nothing too special, but I love the sauce, and the fries are very well seasoned. I've had the veggie patty before as well but it was too dry for my liking. Overall, this place definitely satisfies my burger cravings! read more

Our favorite burger place. We go there often lol . Always a good burger, my kid loves the lettuce bun burger. Fries are super tasty! Tots are hit or miss sadly. Shakes are always delicious. Pretty yum! Worth the wait! read more

I love coming here and treating myself on my way out of town for a long road trip. I usually get the vegan impossible burger and the sweet potato fries. The first time I tried the sweet potato fries with their special sauce, I was in heaven. Sometimes the line is long and goes into the street, but most of the time it's quick to move through the drive thru. I'm in line with my girlfriend right now, it's her first time here, and she said wow they're fast I love this place. One day the question of the day at my gym was, what's the best burger in Gainesville. I can't say I definitely know the best burger as I haven't tried a lot of places, but my answer was Dick Mondells! Would recommend read more

Honestly, the main reason why my friends and I decided to visit this joint was the intrigue of the name. But visiting this place for lunch turned out to be a decent choice. Comparing this to the burgers in town, I would say it's similar to the five guys burger except less oil. So depending on your preferences of your burger you can say it's less "juicy" or less "greasy". The fries were decent and I liked that they had the option of the impossible burger (veg burg). I tried my friends and it was pretty flavorful and fresh. Good texture too. A downside would be that there is limited parking and maybe 4 or 5 benches outside. We got our burgers and left to eat at the nearby park which worked out nicely. I would suggest this if you're with a bigger group. Pricing wise too, it's similar to what you'd expect for a burger joint in Gainesville. So overall, including accessibility, food quality, and pricing I would give it a 4/5! read more

First off, the place looks great. It was around lunchtime when we walked over, and we had no trouble finding a place to sit. Staff was friendly and helpful, and I ordered the jr. burger with cheese and small fries. The wait was nominal which was very encouraging. The portions were pretty on point. Small fries were small, which was the healthy choice, and left me wanting a few more, which is exactly what you'd expect from small fries. The burger itself was fresh and very tasty, and cooked just right. Fries were also absolutely delicious. The prices were pretty reasonable, and of course, you can't put a value on all the awesome jokes to be made while eating there. As a person who works downtown, I look forward to eating here again soon! read more

After driving by this place a couple of times and always seeing a line of cars waiting to get to the drive thru, I finally decided to try Dick Mondell's burger. And what can I say, I was not disappointed! We were lucky to go at the right time were there was only one car ahead of us. The burgers were made to order and were delicious! Get an extra side of Dick's sauce, it is AMAZING! We also got a small order of their fries and sweet potato tots. I am a sucker for sweet potato and the tots were just as I hoped. Their coffee flavor milkshake was also great! I'm glad I was able to check this place out and am already planning to go back soon! read more

Really wanted to like this place. The concept is great, but it failed to live up to my expectations. I ordered their signature burger "Big Dick" and was asked if I wanted everything on it. I said yes. Make my life easy. Give me the burger that defines your restaurant. Turns out, it doesn't have cheese. You have to ask for that separately. I've never been to a place that makes their signature burger without cheese by default. I was never asked if I wanted cheese. Very frustrating when I got my burger. Poor user experience. Burger: very over cooked and dry. Nothing remarkable in terms of flavor or toppings. Fries: I've had better fries from the frozen food aisle at the supermarket. Seriously, the fries are boring and bland. Shake: another disappointment. The shake was chunky and runny. To top it off, my easy to please kid didn't like it. Finally, and probably most importantly, the price for that burger is outrageous for what you get. $8?! For a walk up/drive through and no dining room? And you can't even throw a slice of cheese on it? Stuff I liked: great location, fun design and building, friendly service. I would rather support a local business on my side of town, but I'm afraid I'll have to continue to take my family to BurgerFi in Butler Hellscape. I'll give Dick's another shot in 6 months and hope they make dramatic changes to their offering. read more

Burger is really good. Nice to have another local option for a good drive through burger, but this one may be the best in town. Parking is a challenge but all the food is fresh. read more

Dick Mondell's - Burger - Burgers Near Me - Gainesville, Florida

I heard about Dick Mondell's a few weeks ago and decided to finally go check it out. The word play in their name is definitely one of their draws. I ordered the Original Big Dick and let me tell you it was quite the mouthful and I'd be down to eat that dick again. I think Dick Mondell's would benefit from better buns. The bun was pretty underwhelming and at the price they're charging I'd expect a little better. Overall though the Big Dick definitely filled me up and the double burger itself was good and well cooked. I also tried the fries and a coffee milkshake. The milkshake was great, could have been a little less liquidy, but that also made it easier to suck up a straw. Overall the shake was great! The fries were pretty generic, not bad at all but nothing special either. Overall my main critique of Dick Mondell's is their prices are a little high for the quality you get. The burger is good, but not 8-10 dollars good, like I said before better buns would help! I also get that it's a stand alone business that just started so they have to cover cost. The location between Depot Park and Downtown is great. There's no parking so you either have to walk or use their drive through. Despite my critiques, I'd recommend Dick Mondell's to anyone so they too can get a mouth full of Original Big Dick. read more

There's nothing like a good burger and Dicks has a good burger! Even though it just opened up, there's a lot of people already talking about it and it's well deserved! The drive thru is fast and I've never waited long in the three times I've been there. I got the original big dick burger and large fries and was not disappointed! The fries were perfect so make sure to get them! read more

Dick Mondell's - Burgers Near Me - Gainesville, Florida

Tried this place on a whim while we were in Gainesville. Get you a bag of dicks!! The original big dick slathered in dick sauce made this Burger tasty and pretty juicy. The burger was a little messy to eat. The shake was great, a little thin but the flavor was there. Large fries were like a medium size at other places but they tasted good. It's a place worth trying. The drive thru was crazy. We got there during a gator game so the place was deserted and we didn't have much of a wait. We decided to park the car and eat on their picnic benches. We slowly watched their drive thru build up. Everything is made to order so it backs up the drive thru pretty significantly. They are dog friendly which is one of the reasons why we choose this place, we had our two corgis with us. Would we go back? If they aren't busy, maybe. read more

Dick Mondell's - Burgers Near Me - Gainesville, Florida

I went to Dick Mondell's with some coworkers for lunch the other day. I had heard this place opened recently and wanted to try it out. We drove and went through the drive thru and it was a tight space. There was barely any room for two cars at a time. One to order and another at the window. This location is on a corner across from an apartment complex and it was pretty busy with walk up traffic and cars. There was limited seating outside and overall it was a small burger joint. I will come back but I already know I would be overwhelmed if it were super busy and end up somewhere else. We pulled up and I immediately noticed the prices. They are steep and there are not meal deals for those wanting the full experience. I really wanted to try the impossible burger because I was intrigued and but my cheek and just ordered even thought it was almost $2 more than a basic burger. Burgers come with included toppings of lettuce, tomato, onion, etc... you have to pay extra for cheese. I was a little extra and also added bacon to my vegan, plant based burger because I'm complex (joke). The real star was the sweet potato tots with dick sauce that were so good. I wholeheartedly vote these these are worth the extra cost. They were sweet, savory, and the dick sauce (insert chuckle) was incredible. I also ordered a milkshake that was OK but as someone who doesn't consume a lot of dairy, it hit me a little harder than I thought. There was only one size and I couldn't finish it. The milkshake also melted pretty quickly. I ordered a vegan chocolate chip cookie and I don't think it was worth the cost. Overall I would come back during downtown, with specific things I want to order, and when I have a little extra change in my pocket. I would really rate this place a 3.5. Shout out to Bianca though who was helpful and patient with all our questions!! read more
