Best vegan/black bean burger in Gainesville, and maybe anywhere coast to coast, hands down. I have even converted people who eat typical burgers to have the black bean burger....and they don't miss the beef at all. It's very, very good. Fries have always been fresh and crunchy. Appreciate all the options for sauces. Beer on tap rotates and is best value around. read more

The staff was polite, the food however, very disappointing. The quality does not meet the value paid. The burger was so small; a "quarter pound burger,"yeah, maybe before it was way over cooked and definitely, severely over priced. Should have just gone to Dick Mondell's on the other side of town and just waited in their line. At least then I wouldn't have left a restaurant still hungry after spending $20 for just me. It would have been $30 if I would have built the burger I really wanted. At least the music was ok. read more

We highly recommend using BTW for a party. The back room was perfect! Debbie was amazing before, during and after the party. The buffet included wings, grilled chicken, burgers, mac and cheese, fruit and veggie platters and potatoe salad. Everything was delicious! Thank you again for an evening to always remember! read more

My wife and I have eaten many times at Hurricane BTW. My wife loves the cranberry chicken salad and I like the boneless wings. Usually everything is wonderful. On our latest visit my wife wanted some extra dressing for her salad. The server said the it would be an extra 50 cents. Since when does a restaurant charge for extra dressing. It is a big salad and she felt it just needed a bit more than the little cup that came with it. In addition, a lot of the lettuce in the salad was wilted and brown as if it was old. When we told the server she said she would tell the kitchen staff. Normally, we love the restaurant and would give it 5 stars, but can't do it based on how cheap they are with the dressing and the brown lettuce. Service however was very good. read more

We scored a super great deal --two beers, six boneless wings, and tots for just $25! Colby thought the burger was delicious, and I really enjoyed the chicken. We highly recommend the mango draft beer--it paired perfectly with the meal. I love that you seat yourself, and the staff was super friendly. We'll definitely be back! read more

My wife and I had lunch here today, the daily special menu was reasonable and right up our alley! We also appreciate the military discount. Good food and positive vibe from everyone. Highly recommend. read more

A lot of hype with the name and the decor. Burger was very good and moist. Asked for salt free fries which I got but they had been sitting in the back for a while so they were warm not hot. Serve Pepsi products for soda so no Pepsi Zero in the machine. Service was quick order at the counter then they bring the food to you. Self serve on the drinks. read more

The food is good and piping hot and staff is friendly and the atmosphere is entertaining.

Recently tried this place and I liked it. My boyfriend and I shared nachos, wings, and an ice cream sandwich all of which were pretty good. The nachos in my opinion could've had more toppings like tomatoes, onions, or sour cream. It only had queso and beef which it also could have had more of. The wings, however, were super good. We got the garlic Parmesan and buffalo, and I liked the garlic parm a lot more. As for the ice cream sandwich apparently they are homemade and it was very delicious because the ice cream was very thick. The fries were also really good. The atmosphere in there is also nice; the restaurant is cute and well-kept. The workers were nice and our food didn't take too long to come out read more

I ordered the mushroom swiss burger and sweet potato puffs. I asked for the burger to be cooked medium rare, not knowing if they could do this, added blue cheese, and asked for the bun on the side so if it was medium rare it wouldn't get soaked before I received my order. I added blue cheese to the burger expecting it to be in addition to the swiss, it replaced it and there wasn't $1.25 worth of crumbles. The burger was tiny and well done! They did do a great job with the separate bun; they put the burger with the toppings on top of a lid which made it easy to put the burger together. I was looking forward to trying the sweet potato tater tots and received sweet potato fries which I wouldn't have ordered if I knew that would be what I'd get. The wings I had a few months ago were much better than this burger. read more

5 Buck Burger with Beer from 4PM to 7PM?! The burger was actually pretty tasty there was no cheese though as advertised) the size of the patty and the condiments were just right, plus the Swamp Head Pale Ale draft was on point too, to beat the last week (hopefully) of the summer heat.

Well....I fell for the ole Gator trap. That will be a constant theme for this review since this place was in Gainesville and had nauseating Gator logos everywhere...Roll Tide! I felt like there was so much promise for BTW but this was a very disappointing experience. I wanted wings and I love bone-in. But when I got to the counter, I was pointed to a special for boneless wings, fries, and a drink for $9.99. I fell hook, line and sinker ...caught in a series of Gator chomps. Gator chomp #1 - The boneless wings tasted like chicken nuggets from my elementary school, except I paid more for them. I'm for real....they tasted like they were warmed in the microwave and definitely a frozen Tyson taste. Gator chomp #2 - out of sweet tea, it was about an hour before closing and I was told they were not making anymore. I don't know if this is legit or not but tea will sit in a fridge and it's not expensive to make. Gator chomp #3 - I told then I would just get water, still charged for a drink. Gator chomp #4 - cheap plastic ware to eat with and trying to cut my microwavable chicken nuggets with a plastic knife was frustration. The two things that were done right were the sauces and fries. I asked for 4 sauces to be put on the side and they gave me a big serving of each. I had the Cyclone (spicy ranch), Honey Chipotle BBQ, Gold Rush (mustard BBQ), and the Boss (Buffalo and Garlic Parmesan). Those four sauces were outstanding and saves BTW from a one-star. read more

You have to try this place! My hubs and I came on a Sunday afternoon of a holiday weekend in search for good naked wings in some flavorful sauce and they did not disappoint! There was no wait! You order at the counter (which I much prefer to being waited on) then grab your own drink or they'll pour your pint, & find yourself a seat! It's super open, indoor or outdoor and a solid spot to bring your pup for a leisurely meal on the patio. They have the cutest pooch hooch water self-serve station at the entrance too. I got 5 Boss Bone-in wings and they were cooked to perfection! Wings take 14-18 mins to cook in the fryer so for those who are in a rush, know that it's worth your time to get the perfectly crispy saucy bite! My hubs got fried tenders and we split an order of White Cheddar bacon Mac & Cheese bites & super waffle fries! They were both excellent! There are TONS of sauces too so we tried a few (cyclone & firecracker). We finished it off with a KILLER milkshake! It was rich & delicious but perfect to share. I chose Pina colada. Honestly, this place was stellar. Exactly what I wanted on a Sunday afternoon. They have awesome happy hour specials too. Please please check them out and don't buy into the negative reviews. Finally, I just want to add that some thing that truly stood out was their outstanding customer service. They are highly committed to making sure you have an awesome experience! read more

the food was overpriced. I had the swiss and mushroom melt. very few mushrooms and a less than desirable cheese. the burger was dry and the fries were both cold and over done staff were friendly and made us feel welcomed. Give it a try but not for me the place was clean and nice decorations on the walls and surfboards as tables read more

Super loud. Food was fine. Nothing special... just fine. a bit expensive for no table service.

The first time we went here, the food was great & so was the service. The second time was terrible. The people were so rude & I swear made everything up as she went. She wouldn't let us use a coupon saying some made up fine print that was never stated on the coupon. The shakes were disgusting and I threw them away. The food is usually pretty good but it's not worth the prices or the service. read more

Passing by saw this place.. walked in no greeting whatsoever.. looks in your face several times nothing.. Im sitting there for 5 or 10 min and then girl that was at the register says you have to order down there. FYI : don't sit at little bar area you have to go to counter an order. Once I knew that staff was helpful.. I got the wings couldn't decide on a sauce.. they let me try( flavors I was interested in) them with fries. The Mexican corn was a miss, the corn was over roasted The wings were good I decided on the cyclone flavor which has ranch and something else together. The food here is awesome and service is great once you know the hang of things.i would definitely give them another shoot read more

Nestled on 39th, this location adds another great option to the NW side. I'm writing this review based on two visits--one on tender Thursday and one on Taco Tuesday. The tenders are quite large, filling, and juicy and I was glad they weren't overly greasy. I also tried their wings--you have to ordee a min of ten to do split flavors so I chose firecracker and gold rush. The wings were so crispy and seasoned. I was glad they were a decent size and not those genetically engineered looking wings. However, while the wings are fantastic, the tacos and the fries leave much to be desired. The fries didn't seem to be seasoned, but the good thing about it is that there are plenty of seasonings you can add to them. Just make sure to do it while they're hot. The tacos weren't good unfortunately. Even though they are 3 bucks on Tuesdays, I won't be getting them again. Both of my tacos were cold--not just the toppings, but the meat too. The meat in the Korean bbq taco was subsumed in a mountain of slaw. The mesquite and bacon taco sounded good, but the cheese (govt cheese it seemed) and the plethora of ingredients together was pretty bad. Come for the wings, amazing daily specials, good happy hour and clean establishment. read more

As an avid wing enthusiast I must say I had some high expectations for this place. However one of the big things I take in to account when I go to a wing place is PPW or Price Per Wing and Hurricane BTW gets a terrible score in my book for their price per wing, pricing per wing only going down if you order 25 wings or more! I'll write out it for you to illustrate it. Boneless PPW: $1 10 wing classic combo: $13.50 Bone-In PPW: $1.20 10 wing classic combo: $15.50 Now that's some boutique PPW for what is essentially a fast casual dining place. The wings where just about on par with other chain wing restaurants. They have some interesting sauces with fun names that might intrigue some. (Coco Loco, Firecracker, Boss). They take traditional flavors and add a twist. I was quite pleased with Cyclone which was a Sweet and Spicy Ranch. However sauce alone couldn't justify this price for me. I'd likely opt for a place with better PPW. However the star of the show and the real reason I'll come back is the corn! Do not sleep on this corn it is a winner the Mexican Street corn has cheese and seasonings that takes corn to the next level. I wish this place was more reasonably priced because it would likely score higher for me but as is... Overpriced wings, standard taste, fantastic corn. 3/5 for me right now but if I try the Burgers and Tacos in the future I'll update with my thoughts. read more

Dinner was amazinggg. I wanted wings and beer, and the wings were fantastic. Let me tell you though, I'll be back because of the manager on duty. She a was SO nice. Talked to us, made it seem like a great "hoem town bar" type feel. I WILL be back. read more

Good basic burgers and chicken wings. Recommend for a quick lunch but don't expect a great culinary experience.

Overview: 3/5 I was hoping this was going to be better then the overall ratings of "Yelpers". We decided to try it since it was in route to our destination. Unfortunately it only faired a 3 star in my assessment. Ambiance : 3/5 Nothing fancy about this place. Tables were socially distant and employees wore mask. There was no hand sanitizer that I could see. Lots of TVs for that sport feel. Chairs were metal and horribly uncomfortable. Food/Drink  2/5 The burger underwhelmed mostly because of the bun. At first I thought the bun was stale. The manager made us new ones. Although the manager said they get their bread in yesterday it still seemed stale. Brioche buns are not the best choice in my opinion, it overpowered the burger. The fries were good and came out crispy like I requested. The onion rings were a bit overly breaded and over cooked. They did not have a bottle opener for the beer in the case. And the bottled beer was not overly cold. The draft GTW beer was good. We both didn't care for the Mexican street corn but honestly I'm not sure what it's supposed to taste like. Service : 5/5 Servers were friendly and the manager did try to correct the situation with the stale bun. So the personnel does go above and beyond to ensure you have everything you need and that the order came out to your satisfaction. NOTE: the cook on duty did not wear his mask over his nose. Conclusion :  a been there done that experience. I do not think we will be back read more

I've come to Gator Hurricane BTW for their chicken tenders, and wings several times. My favorite sauce is the "coco loco" sauce. The portion sizes seem to very quite a bit, and the quality differs. It is generally good, with the chicken tender breading being fairly light and flavorful. There's a decent selection of sauce options, and I'd say 5 tenders should be enough to make anyone full. The wait time also wasn't bad. I think this is a solid place to go to for wings/burgers. read more

Service was outstanding! Employees definitely acted like they are paid a livable wage. We got takeout and t food was still good!

They don't have growlers anymore so instead of 6.50 for 32 ounces of beer it's 5.00 for 16 ounces. Used to see the owner in there consistently but haven't seen him in awhile. This place won't be in my normal rotation much anymore. The food is always whatever but the beer prices used to be good but now there also whatever. Might come back might not whatever. read more

Recently received some coupons for food delivery, so figured I would give it a shot. I have been to HurricaneBTW in the past, and remember really enjoying the food there, so trying their food via delivery was certainly worth a shot. I kept it simple and ordered a batch of wings, as it seems like forever since I have had proper hot wings from anywhere. The delivery went smoothly, and there I was at home with a nice batch of wings to chow down on, albeit them being somewhat cooler than what you would get at the restaurant. So really this review is about the food quality alone. I didn't talk to a single person at the restaurant, nor even see the store in the first place. The food was good. When you get delivery, it just isn't the same thing. You don't have the food piping hot in front of you. You don't have the noise of conversations from other tables, or any of the other things that occur when you are in a restaurant. It just isn't... the same. Of course, none of this is HurricaneBTW's fault, and the food was just fine. However, I probably won't be ordering delivery any time soon (well, except for pizza... that is a different ballgame). I will be returning to HurricaneBTW in the future though. read more

Stopped by here for lunch after a had a doctors appointment. We ordered salads my husband ordered the Ahi tuna salad. Unfortunately they came to us after we paid for are meals to say the tuna was frozen and asked if there was something they could make. Unfortunately my husband heart was set on that so they offered a refund. They stated they voided the order and when he asked for a receipt they could not provide one. Now here we are two days later and the charges went through and cleared from my account. I had a feeling the kid didn't know what he was doing and I live all the way and Jacksonville and not sure how I'm going to get my money back!!! Do not go here!! Update after calling about my refund the owner jumped on the phone to yell at me about leaving a bad review!! How dare you scream at me!! You do not have fresh food your tuna comes frozen and your upset we asked for a refund and left a review!! read more

Ordered the firecracker shrimp tacos, my daughter ordered a 6 wing combo with Buffalo sauce and Mexican street corn. The wings came out first, and I was a bit puzzled as I saw other customers being served. Want to mention early that the "Buffalo sauce" on the wings is mayonnaise based and is just not what I expect from Buffalo wings and is maybe some order of a crime against wings. Eventually my tacos came out but the person delivering them looked lost, like she wasn't sure where they went. Hanger anxiety like that is no fun. The tacos are the reason I give any stars, they were some of the best of that style of taco I've had anywhere. The corn looked delicious, it was golden brown all over with a white sauce and white crumbly cheese and a sprinkle of cilantro, but it seemed like the seasoning was AWOL. It was disappointing because it was so promising and really would have been a better experience with more flavor. If I had just ordered wings, then I think it would have been a one star (the corn was the right side though, that would bring it up to 2). Besides the sauce being criminal, THEY GAVE MY DAUGHTER A BACK as one of her 6 wings. 4 drums, one flap, and A BACK. A sad, thick-skinned, didn't even brown in the fryer, broken bone jutting out effing chicken BACK. How do you call yourself a wing place and not recognize that you are serving a throwaway part to guests? One look at the sauce and I knew and I wouldn't bother bringing it up during our visit because how could you even... read more

This place is a little like fast food and bar food. You go to the counter to order and they bring it to you. The day we went was very busy at 7:00 pm on a Saturday. They had a large group so it was pretty noisy. Even with the big crowd the service was good and the food came out in less than 10 minutes. I had the Baja fish tacos. It had a good portion of fish and crispy slaw. It could have used more sauce though. My wife had the pineapple teriyaki burger. She said it was very good. It looked pretty big. We also had onion rings which were good, and Mexican street corn which was very tasty. The portion size on everything was very good. The prices are reasonable. They also have specials everyday. It is good to see a place like this on this end of Gainesville. read more

Gross. Gross. Gross! I ordered chicken tenders tossed in sweet chili sauce, my guest ordered the same, yet the meals were charged differently. The food, in all fairness the fries were good, the chicken tenders were gross, they had a funny taste to them, the breading was gross and was falling off, and even though they were tossed - I was given an extra cup of sauce instead of ranch or bleu cheese. We had to ask for our drinks, and were handed two empty cups and told "the fountain is over there" with a point towards the other side of the restaurant. Definitely won't be back. read more
