I thought they would be served chilled, but they fried them. They were very good though, lightly fried with a very good dipping sauce. We also split the jambalaya, which was a very generous portion. The jambalaya was very, very delicious. The place has a cozy, dark, masculine, old school feel. Bartender very friendly. I'll definitely go back when in Gainesville again.

We went on a Saturday afternoon, street parking is free but good luck! There is a parking garage…read moreclose by and some lots that you pay with an app a block or 2 away. We arrived around 4:30 and still had a 15 minute wait. We waited at the bar and fun fact, happy hour everyday from 2-7 and all day on Tuesdays! Signature cocktails are $8 and beers as low as $4. This place has great prices all around. It's got a nice dining vibe inside, dimly lit but lots of windows, it sits on a corner. We got shrimp and scallop Orleans, stuffed shrimp and blackened red fish. Everything was served hot and at the same time and all very good. We all got collard greens and they were excellent. My only minor beef is that the blacked fish wasn't very spicy. Still great though. Service was very good. Great spot and best prices I've seen anywhere.

Well, those who are in the area knew it wouldn't last, and so it has come to pass that the Taco…read moreplace that used to be at this location is no longer. Less than a year! However, in its place is Temoo! I have now tried them, and the food isn't bad at all! They have only just recently opened and they are still trying to get their feet under them properly, but I ordered the gyro sandwich and five wings and they came out in a reasonable amount of time for having been prepared fresh. Quick note about the wings: Five doesn't sound like a lot, but they are both the drumette and flat together, so by other wing places' standards, it is more like ten wings! They have a variety of sauces, and I went for the mango habanero. It is definitely more sweet than spicy, but still tasty. The sauce distribution wasn't great, and there was a large pool of the sauce that was acting more like a dipping sauce than a tossed sauce. The gyro was pretty standard... the meat for it didn't seem prepackaged, which was a good sign, and it held up well. There is better in town, but this one holds up against most of the locations in town that make gyros. There is seating outside, under a shelter with four picnic tables, so at least you can eat under some shade during the summer months. The workers there were pleasant enough, and they brought my food out to me while I waited under the shelter. Final analysis though? Sadly, I don't see this place surviving unless they can come up with a menu item that truly brings people flocking to their doors. It's NOT about their food, though... their food is fine, and if they were located in some other location in town they would probably do decently. It is purely the location: the parking here is minimal, getting into the place is a rough stop on the brakes with traffic coming up behind you at breakneck speeds, and there simply isn't enough other commercial industry in the area to support them well. I truly hope that my prediction here doesn't come true.

I got the chicken giro and it was missing flavor and just balance. I might give them another try…read morebut I was just so disappointed. I waited an hour with only one person in front of me and had to ask for napkins, sauces and utensil. I want this to succeed since I loved when they had a different name but their quality was solid. Their food is just missing a special touch . Maybe I'll wait once they get their footing but I want them to figure out the kinks. One of the ladies told my coworker that the reason I had no seasoning in my fries but she did was because the owner was the one that made my coworkers. I just wonder why they don't follow the owners lead.

Two of us went to cedar River for a late lunch. We were seated quickly, there were not many people…read moreat that time. The waitress came and took our drink order, but it took awhile to come back. I ordered grilled shrimp, collards and coleslaw. The shrimp were warm, the collards were hot. There were 2 hush puppies as well. My sister ordered fish with mashed sweet potatoes and cheese grits. She ate the sides but not much of the fish . The service was not as good as you would expect when the restaurant was so slow. My sister comes here a lot and said it was not as good as usual. I would say a 3.5 and hesitation to return for me.

I was seated and nobody waited on me for 10 minutes. They even had sat two other tables next to me…read morewithin this time. They took their drink orders and these two tables arrived after I came in. The server finally came over and I placed my drink and food order, as I was ready because I've been sitting there so long. I actually knew right away what I wanted which was fried shrimp. It took another 10 minutes to get my water. She put three lemons in my water, and I never order lemons at restaurants because they are known not to be very clean. Meanwhile, they gave the other tables their drinks first. After the server brought my food, she never came back to check on me. I wanted some butter for my grits, but she didn't check on anything. She made sure she checked on the other tables next to me. Later, she brought the check, and I noticed it had a service fee on it (3.9%). Really?! Stop playin'. I inquired what that was and she said if you pay with a card they charge that fee. They assumed I was going to pay with a card and it had no cash option listed. I deducted the fee and provided cash for the meal and ended up still tipping 29% when she was in a terrible server. When she came back to get the check with my cash, she asked if I needed change back. I wish servers would stop asking this and just bring the change back and obviously if the customer is gone, the money is meant for them, or if they want to leave some cash, they will. The intention was to give all of the change to her, but it is in poor taste to ask people this. At this point I just wanted to get out of there because I did not feel very welcomed. I came in this restaurant once before, and nobody would seat me, and I walked out, but a coworker ordered food from here yesterday, and I figured I would give them another chance. Then the server took my receipt and crumbled it up and put it in her pocket. So now I have no record that I had even eaten there except for the plate of food that I ordered (see photo). I should've taken a picture of it. This seems a little shady to me. Additionally, I don't appreciate having a service fee without being advised of it before my check is brought to me, or actually before I even order. I won't go back here. I ordered fried shrimp, cheese, grits, and lima beans. The meal was $9.50 pre-tax. The service is terrible. There were other servers walking by my table when I was sitting there ignored when I was first seated. Who wants to sit in a restaurant with nothing to drink for 20 minutes? I really was thinking of getting up and walking out since nobody could even come and greet me and take a drink order. The food is subpar as well. I'll pass on this place, for the lack of customer service.

Per the weekly menu, it's so hard to decide what to eat. They have a great variety and we were able to substitute sides that can with our entrees.

I ordered their Jerk rainbow trout with black eyed pea cauliflower rice and collard greens and my parents ordered the pan seared sea bass with seafood mac and the veggie of the day which was the broccolini. Everything is always fresh as they grow all of the amazing veggies in their garden. Your soul will always be satisfied with the amazing flavors of Underground Kitchen.

I came here with a group of friends for dinner, and overall it was a really enjoyable experience…read more Even though Seafood Dock is known for their seafood, I personally wasn't in the mood for a boil that night, so I ordered the lemon pepper wings with fries. The wings were flavorful, well-seasoned, and hit the spot, and the fries were crispy and satisfying,simple but solid. That said, when my friends' seafood boils came out, wow. The smell alone was incredible rich, buttery, and seasoned perfectly. I couldn't resist trying a few bites, and I'm glad I did. The potatoes and broccoli were especially good, soaking up all that seasoning, and the seafood itself tasted fresh and well-cooked. You could tell this is really where they shine. The portions were generous, the food came out hot, and it's definitely a fun, casual spot to go with friends. The atmosphere feels laid-back and social, which makes it great for group dinners. While my non-seafood order was good, seeing (and tasting) the boils made me want to come back and try a full seafood meal next time. Overall, a solid spot with great flavor, especially if you're a seafood lover. I'd absolutely return and next time, I might just give in and get my own boil.

Tooling around a little bit, I found Northwest Seafood at the tail end of the Fresh Market stripmall, and figured it might be interesting. It was busy, but it wasn't pretentious, which is what I was looking for. A couple of tables setup outside for customers, and inside a bench or two for those waiting for their food. The place serves in two different ways... first, they are a fish market, and you can get a large variety of different seafoods there. Prices aren't bad, certainly better than other shops in the same area, and a lot more variety as well. Inside, I went through the menu that they have. They are a counter service as well as the fish market, and you can get a number of different items cooked up right there to eat. I went for a cod sandwich and fries, which was the closest thing they had to fish and chips. The wait was nominal, as they had to fry up the food and get the fries together. Staff were pleasant, despite the apparent rush, and I got my food in short order. Eating it was a good time. The sandwich was excellent. The fries... they were good initially, but they don't really hold up over time. Not a big deal if you are sitting there and eating them immediately, though. Definitely worth the stop, and I will be back.
