I have to say, up front, that they don't take credit cards as payment, but they do take Venmo or Zelle, so be prepared, or bring cash! The food is very down-home. It tastes just like it does when you are eating in your pajamas on Saturday morning! The decor is very eclectic and interesting. There are books, art and nick-nacks throughout the restaurant and even in the courtyard. The courtyard is special (see pictures) It would be perfect for you and your out-of-town guests to come and eat and hang out in peace, enjoying a lovely place to eat! Friendly staff, chill vibes!

Stopped in on a Thursday morning around 10-11am with my mom, and honestly... what a gem. It wasn't…read moretoo busy, which made the whole vibe even better .. it was calm, cozy, and a little artsy inside with such a unique charm that makes you want to linger. We both ordered waffles for breakfast, and I went for the blueberry ones with eggs and potatoes on the side. Everything was spot on. The potatoes were perfect, soft on the inside, crispy on the outside, seasoned so well they were borderline addictive. And the eggs? Fluffy, light, and cooked the way eggs should be. I'm so used to getting overcooked eggs at other places, so having them done right felt like a treat. The waffles were the star though. Crunchy exterior, soft warm center, and real blueberries in every bite. Absolutely delicious. Service was just as impressive. Our server was kind, attentive, and made the whole experience even better without ever hovering. Overall, East End Eatery easily earned this five-star rating. I had this on my must visit list of places in Gainesville and it did not disappoint. A must-visit breakfast spot in Gainesville,I'll definitely be back.

Blue Grill in High Springs is one of those local restaurants that deserves to be recognized and…read moreappreciated! We really enjoy coming here, and every visit reminds us why we keep coming back. It's hard to find a restaurant where you can get breakfast, lunch, or dinner anytime, and have the food consistently be this good. The waitresses are always friendly, pleasant, and efficient. You can tell they work hard, but they still take the time to make you feel welcome. Our food comes out quickly and hot, which is especially nice when you're hungry! And the food is just delicious. The portions are generous--definitely enough to leave you satisfied--and the prices are very reasonable. In a time when restaurant prices seem to keep going up, it's wonderful to find a place where you can get a really good meal, a generous portion, great service, and still feel like you got your money's worth. Blue Grill has that special local, hometown feeling that is becoming harder and harder to find. It's the kind of place you want to support because the people are friendly, the food is good, and you know you're going to have a good experience. If you're in High Springs and haven't tried Blue Grill, you really should! We highly recommend it and are happy to support such a wonderful local restaurant.

So this location has been a number of different things over the years. I think I was in there once…read moreback when it was a barbecue place, but since then it has also been a bakery, and now a grill. I went in for lunch, figuring it was another place to give a shot. The menu is pretty standard for a diner style restaurant, with heavy emphasis in the morning for omelettes, then your usual burgers and other homestyle goodies in the afternoon and evening. I went for the Texas burger, asking for it to be cooked medium. What I got was more rare, bordering on blue. Not a good start. The fries that came with it were predictably SysCo style fries. No proof that they were actually provided by such, but they definitely had the style. Staff were friendly, and the seating at the bar was comfortable. Realistically, I don't see myself going back any time soon, unless a group of people invite me to go. It is a bit of a trek from Gainesville, so going specifically to eat there is not in the cards.

I hadn't been to The Clock in almost twenty years, so I figured it was time to pop back in. The…read morebiggest surprise? It actually looks pretty good inside now. The grimy walls and windows are long gone, replaced with some decent updated decor, which was nice to see. The staff were friendly and clearly at home there. It was fun watching them trade banter with some of the regulars. That kind of easy, familiar energy is exactly what you want from a place like this, and The Clock has it in spades. The menu is basically unchanged, which is fine. I went for the fish and chips special, and honestly... it was just okay. Nothing wrong with it exactly, but for what they're charging, I didn't feel like I was getting good value. I can think of a few other places in town that'll do a better fish and chips for less money, and that's tough to ignore. Worth a visit for the atmosphere and the friendly faces, but don't go in expecting to be wowed by the food.

We visited this cute little family-owned restaurant called The Clock, and now we understand exactly…read morewhy it has that name, there are so many unique and beautiful clocks all throughout the restaurant. As an art major, I absolutely appreciated all the little details and decor. The entire place had such a cozy, welcoming vibe. We went on Mother's Day for a late brunch, so naturally every restaurant in town was packed. We did wait a little while to be seated, but once we sat down, Judy, our waitress, was very upfront and let us know the food would likely take about 30 minutes. Honestly, we didn't mind at all because she immediately got us drinks and caffeine, which was much needed while battling a couple-day migraine. I ordered The Clock Two-Egg Breakfast, and wow, it was absolutely delicious. This was honestly some of the best breakfast food I've had since living in the state of Florida. The chunky hash browns were cooked perfectly. Bacon, perfectly cooked, a well balance of soft and crunchy. Judy was also one of the nicest waitresses we've met during all of our travels. She constantly checked on us and made sure we never went without anything during our visit. We were chatting with her about feeding pets, and she even drew a little dog on our doggy box, which was such a sweet personal touch. This place truly screams family atmosphere, and I love supporting places like this because the little family-owned spots deserve support too. We will absolutely be back, and I already know our teenager is going to love this place. Thank you again to Judy and the entire staff for giving us such a fantastic Mother's Day away from our family. The warm family vibes here were exactly what I didn't realize I was missing. Next time we will have to try lunch. = )

Newberry Jam in Newberry Florida...who woulda thunk it?! Sure the exterior reminded me of…read moreelementary school portable classrooms. But what happens inside? Pure magic. It may be lunchtime, but I can never pass on a biscuit. Turns out, if I had, I might have missed out on quite possibly the best biscuit sandwich I've ever had! The biscuit, egg, and cheese is absolutely out of this world. We're talking a ginormous, soft, pillowy, buttery biscuit stuffed with what felt like a mountain of eggs. And honestly? The biscuit itself is so good that it almost doesn't matter what they put in there. Almost. As far as carbs go, nothing beats a well-executed biscuit in my book. It's the kind of thing that reminds you why some foods don't need to be reinvented, elevated, deconstructed, or dressed up in any way. Just give me a phenomenal biscuit and get out of my way. I also tried the fried green tomatoes, and the batter was beyond reproach. Perfectly crispy, beautifully golden, and executed with the kind of precision that tells you the folks in that kitchen know exactly what they're doing. Between that biscuit and those fried green tomatoes, I'm convinced the kitchen is beyond technically sound. I don't even need to try anything else on the menu to feel confident that the rest of it is probably excellent. Does that mean I won't try anything else? Absolutely not. I have a responsibility to investigate further. Newberry Jam, I'll be back.

Umn yumn!!! Chicken sammy was Jam Alive delicious!! Best one I've had in awhile. Seems like they're mostly a breakfastie lunch kinda place. Bowls and burritos on the menu, a few sammiches. They're not exactly your typical breakfast spot though with some nicely elevated choices. Super friendly, helpful, and nice too. So happy they're here and doing what they do. Really looking forward to enjoying them again and again. Btw, there's plenty of parking out back (except when they're super busy) and lots of street parking out front up and down main street Newberry. Question seems to come up in the feeds I read for whatever reason. Same as finding contact info and deets, had to rely on gossipy Facebook forums to find them previously but they're very new and likely soft opening.

Unfortunately, we won't be back…read more That being said, I do want to recognize our server, Ashlyn, who was amazing. She did everything she could to apologize and make the situation right, despite the issues with the kitchen and the misleading wording on the menu. My $30 steak was cooked incorrectly twice. There were also other steaks at our table that were not prepared as ordered, although those guests were willing to settle for what they received. When you're paying that much for a steak, it should be cooked exactly as requested. When my steak was finally corrected, my sides were ice cold, and they were not replaced. By that point, our party of six had finished eating and was ready to leave. Unfortunately, there were several other issues throughout the meal as well, including drinks and other food items that were not up to par. What was most disappointing was that the manager never came by our table to check on our experience, even though things were clearly going wrong. It left me wondering whether the manager was on the cook line dealing with the steaks and simply didn't have time for table visits. I appreciate Ashlyn's effort and professionalism, but unfortunately, the overall experience was not one we would want to repeat. We won't be back.

Really cute hamburger place inside a reclaimed box car with attached game room, nicely clean…read morebathrooms and a beer and wine garden at the end with nice seating area there as well. Parking is a challenge, but we parked elsewhere and walked over there. The smell of the delicious burgers had me drooling! Got the double patty with cheese Goldie burger and onion rings and my husband got the same with loaded tater tots. Sprite and water in a bottle for drinks...and we were all set. Our order came out pretty quickly and we enjoyed watching the kids run around excitedly and play the various games, whether it was skee ball, pinball, driving courses, riding the motorized animals...kids enjoy the most basic things to the maximum! Great idea for families! Nice park frontage, walking paths, etc. I'm going to have to tell my daughter in law to bring the kids here next time. They'd LOVE IT! The Goldie Burger was fantastic. They do have vegan options as well, so don't fret! Tots, fries and onion rings are excellent sides for your sandwich. The fella at the front counter was beyond pleasant, helpful, friendly and very attentive to every patron. Even went so far as to give extra free tokens to one family with 3 little ones since they spent so much there on their meals. I gave out free tokens to a lithe younger girl who was wearing what used to be my favorite sneakers growing up...Converse All-Stars! She had her mouth hanging open for a few minutes while mom said thank you for her...hey, old people don't place much arcade games I told them.... So enjoy! Great family spot with the kids to run off that excess energy and have fun. We enjoyed the food and the scenery.

I have only had this place once when I first moved back. Per the pictures on Yelp, some menu items have increased, which is expected. I ordered a single cheeseburger, crinkle cut fries, and a side of the Goldie's sauce. The total came out to $13.75. I waited for about 5 - 8 minutes for the food. I did end up eating in the park. The burger is a thin smashburger and pretty huge. It had lettuce, red onion, pickles, and Goldie's sauce. The burger was good and the sauce is a tangy mustard relish type of sauce. I really liked the bun, it's like an everything seasoning bun. It was fresh and toasty. As for the crinkle cut fries, I really like the seasoning. Each fry was coated very well, but they were not cooked to my liking. While they were hot and fresh, the fries were still soft as if they needed to cooked a bit longer. Also I believe that for dipping the Cajun mayo would've a better dipping option over the Goldie's sauce just because the seasoning on the fries. Overall, it was pretty good lunch for a nice day in the park.
