First time visiting today (Friday around 9am). The place has an interesting décor choice with the…read moretoys and classic Nike kicks on the overhang of the main counter. Don't let the eclectic interior accesorizing fool you - their cookies, brownies, and paninis aren't kidding around . Alex answered all my questions and helped me choose my snacks. I ordered a chocolate chip cookie, 2 brownies, a can of Summer Berry seltzer, and a Lord Cheeesus panini. They stock the coffee served from Opus Coffee but I decided against it to opt for a cold drink. The cookie was soft and chewy, just the right amount of sweet and chocolate chunkiness. The panini looked a bit on the oily side but when I opened the packaging it was hot, crunchy, and full of gooey cheesiness. Just what I needed for a second breakfast paired with my berry seltzer. Highly recommend for breakfast, snacks, or early lunch. Ample parking in the outside lot. It was not busy when I visited but they had a lot of take out orders coming through. Facilities looked pretty clean and the single occupancy restrooms were also clean. I stayed for around an hour enjoying my food break. I would come back again :)

I see why they are popular and with a very unique and diverse menu. love some of the names they use for their sandwiches And the fact you can get breakfast and lunxh items all day is nice and the Bonus is this location is open till 5 now.

The grocery offers most everything you'd want from a pan-Middle Eastern grocer: dry goods, teas, frozen food, fragrant waters, syrups, canned goods, et cetera. They also have a good selection of baklava and other treats by the front counter worth checking out: they get different sweets in sometimes--always baklava but sometimes also namoura cake and other things. When they have sari burma it's normally excellent, so look for that as well. They also have a good spice selection and try to include a lot of Turkish and Persian speciality items as well (this include Turkish frozen goods and yes, the pudding mixes also). The restaurant portion is a buffet and they have a hot bar and cold bar. The hot bar has traditional Egyptian foods and was very good when I tried it while the cold bar has things that could also be taken away like hummus, salads, and babaganoush. You can get the hot bar to-go as well, but having things like hummus is a big deal because you can purchase enough to have on hand for the week. I hope the restaurant continues to work out for them: buffets only make money if they have a lot of customers, so I really hope the community supports this fine establish and wonderful people who own and run it.

Okay so I'll start by saying I've had Big Mill's a few times before but only brought to me or…read moreshared by my bf. This was the first time I actually went and ordered for myself. I know I know, it was a long time coming and I regret that! I went around lunch time on a Wednesday so it wasn't too crowded but if you're familiar with the area, you know sometimes it can be difficult to make a left hand turn into the parking lot. There were a few people inside already eating and then a few waiting who had already ordered. I knew what I wanted to order beforehand so I walked right up to the counter. I created a regular size Philly for my dad with onions, peppers, mayo, and provolone cheese and then got a double smash burger for myself. That burger? AMAZING. I wholeheartedly support that being in the running for best burger in GNV. I still think about it daily. It was truly mouthwatering and perfect. I also got a 20oz frozen four berry lemonade which was delicious and very fitting for how hot it has been. I got the Philly for my dad as he doesn't live here and he thoroughly enjoyed it. Needless to say I will be back for myself, and whenever my parents are in town. Highly recommend!

Well its been awhile since we had been here, and decided to order out and go take food home…read more Was pretty busy but was taken care of by 2 friendly employees. Got that oldvschool sandwich shop feel.Big Menu boards.and a large diverse menu. Ordered a cheesesteak that was amazing, and wife loved her polish sausage dog. We ordered a chicken ceasar salad too for tomorrow. One thing i had issue with was doesn't a caesar salad come with caesar dressing? Well this one didnt if they put some on there i couldnt find it.only flavor i tasted was from chicken. Other than that everything was amazing. Big Mills is a icon in Gainesville and their cheesesteaks prove that!!

Well, we were in town for a football game and wanted to grab some brunch on the way out of town. We…read morelooked around on the map and came across this place. It's a little ways away from the campus, where we were staying, but not that far, maybe 10 minutes. I'm really glad we did. What a nice restaurant, and extremely busy, which is a great sign. From the beginning, everyone was very friendly and helpful. It was about a 30 minute wait, which considering how busy it was, not a bad wait time. So we went outside to wait, they have a couple of water dispensers filled with ice cold lemon water. There are some coverings, a couple of benches in the shade. There is also a gentleman who was running a drink station so you can get coffee, Gatorade, etc. they have done a really great job of making sure people are comfortable and cool in the Florida heat. It was almost exactly 30 minutes and we were seated. The menu is everything you expect from a breakfast/brunch place. They also have a nice selection of specials that look really fun and different. I was starving, so I ended up ordering a little bit of everything. It was great, French toast, eggs, bacon, hash browns, etc. you can't go wrong with. We were well taken care of by everyone. We had a great time and will definitely be back.

While they have a solid selection of cheeses, they were not what my mother was looking for. It was more of a "what do they have?" kind of venture, not a "We need this specific cheese" outing. I also looked to see if they had any ice wines, but they are out of season and out of fashion these days, so it is tough to find anywhere. Otherwise the store is pretty well stocked, and we talked to someone up front who was very open about their ordering policies and the ability to get various items that we might be looking for if they don't actually have it in stock, so they are very flexible in that regard. I feel that this is the place to go if you need something in the wine and cheese world, even if they don't happen to have it in stock immediately. Better to shop here than the big stores or online! Support the local places, folks!
