We had some long time friends come down with us as well. Our first stop on our Gainesville Adventure was here! I ordered the #9. Tony Montana Cubano. I have to say I've had many Cuban sandwich's before but this Cuban sandwich was the BEST! I love the flavor of seasoned pork they use as well as the Boars Head Meat. I do believe all those makes the difference. If you like Cuban sandwich's you must try this one. Also our friends with us ordered the #12 Uncle Drew Monte Cristo and shared and they loved it! All the staff were super friendly! It took about 10 minutes for us to get our sandwich's. Everything was clean and well kept. Definitely recommend The Paper Bag!

My husband ordered pastrami and I ordered a Cuban. The bread is fantastic. It's crispy outside and soft in the center. The meat portion was perfect as were the condiments.

Following a visit to the sprawling UF campus, my wife and I decided to try out The Spot for lunch…read more Located in a building housing other eateries and with limited "free" parking, we parked in the parking structure in the same building. As it was summer break, a lot of the other businesses in the building were closed (Vietnamese and Italian restaurant as well as a boba place). The place looks like it was being run by a hardworking couple. We checked out the menu and my wife ordered the Gyro Platter and I ordered the Souvlaki Platter. We also ordered a couple of fountain drinks. The gyro meat was well seasoned and tender. The Greek salad was quite good. The chicken souvlaki, however, seemed to lack flavor and a bit dry. Portions were quite generous and the value was there. We actually packed our leftovers for some quesadillas later. If we do go back, I would order the gyro instead of the chicken souvlaki. NOTE: They don't validate parking which was $3 for an hour

I've been for several of their themed menu including '80s Miami Vice, the (current) Harry Potter, and of course, their over-the-top Christmas menu. Honestly, the holiday season doesn't feel complete without a visit here for the festive lights and delicious seasonal drinks. The only downside? The decor can be a bit cheesy (looking at you, bubble mural), but the drinks more than make up for it. Definitely worth a visit if you're into well-crafted cocktails!

I ordered the special where it was $7.99 for a pizza and a drink. I ordered pepperoni. I also got a cookie. I wanted a slice of cake that I remember the Orlando Newks having so many of, and it wasn't until I was walking away from the register I noticed the cooler behind me of the slices. I would recommend the slices of cake being visible when walking in or closer to the ordering area. The sweet tea was good. I liked the spring festive cup. My pepperoni pizza was delicious and no complaints.
