We love Spurriers! Our party of six was expertly waited on, the food was great, and Jerry's chocolate chip cookies are to die for!

This place is a unique Gainesville experience! The indoor, outdoor, and upstairs patio areas are classy but with a sports-esque touch. A great place to visit with folks from out of town or to celebrate a special occasion. While they aren't reservation only, I HIGHLY recommend calling ahead--wait times can be really long (we've turned away after a 1.5+ hour wait time). The food is delicious and a lot of the menu items have their own twist. The grits are INCREDIBLE. The menu is a bit pricier than other places in town, but overall decent. read more

Everything is fantastic. Food service decor everything all fantastic. Great salads, great steaks and great fish Bar service is great as well. Cold cold beer fantastic. All servers were great, helpful great service A little pro, but well worth it read more

Our server was delightful...friendly, courteous, and efficient. Our meals, as always, were outstanding. Both my brother-in-law and myself said our meals were so good we couldn't stop eating even though we were stuffed. My husband ate his entire steak and sides and salad. The drinks were not skimpy. All-in-all a great evening. We make it a point to eat here every time we're in Gainesville visiting family. The decor is more minimalist and there is not a lot of noise pollution so you are more than able to have a conversation with your table guests. Parking is very easy and abundant all around. We've never had a bad meal yet and we make it a point to try something different every time we dine here. read more

Spurrier's is very much a museum with food. The food is very nice, the drinks well made and strong but, mostly, we are here paying witness to the Head Ball Coach and his life and times. It is a mite pricey but all of our meals were nicely prepared and came out piping hot. Our server was attentive but did not hover. So, absolutely worth it. read more

After experiencing the Spurrier's brunch buffet, we finally decided to celebrate a special occasion and do dinner and we were not disappointed! Of all of the higher-end restaurants in the Gainesville area, Spurrier's really impressed us with the excellent quality and service. The crab and lobster cakes were divine and for my main I got the braised short rib and was more than impressed! read more

Came here for a graduation dinner and everything was delicious! We sat at the rooftop, which was super nice during the sunset! The staff was all very friendly and accommodating! We had to wait a little for our table and went to the bar while we waited. The drinks we very good and well made. Everything we ordered was great! If you like wings I highly recommend theirs with the Louisiana sauce! The sliders were also a hit and a good size! The entres were good too, but I did love the appetizers more! read more

This is the perfect game day spot before a UF game. The food is upscale bar food and is actually very good/flavorful. Looking forward to going back and trying the dining room at night. The atmosphere brings back nostalgic, Gameday memories, including spurriers hats, trophies, and game day bests. For gator fans this is a nonnegotiable. We tried brussels sprouts salad and the buffalo wings and buffalo dip were we're all crafted well flavorful and came out quickly. read more

Excellent service!!! Everyone is so nice and polite from greeting you the second you walk in to the waiters. We went for weekend brunch and it is worth every penny. It's a buffet style but the food quality that's served is top notch. Our favorite were the grits and shrimp and the beef wyagu sliders. They also have this omelette station that my stomach could not fit but I would've loved an omelet. I want to try to make this a monthly thing with friends. Try going the second it opens because it got busy super fast. read more

Absolutely the worst service I've experienced in a long time. It took over 50 minutes just to place our entrée order, and that only happened because my partner had to physically call the server (Thomas) over to our table. Our appetizer plates were completely empty, yet the server came by multiple times--either to pick up empty glasses or check on the table directly next to us--without once asking if we were ready to order entrées. My drink sat empty for about 10 minutes before I was asked if I wanted another. To make matters worse, the tables seated next to us--who arrived after us and ordered the exact same appetizer--received their entrées before we had even placed ours. The server checked on them several times while barely acknowledging our table. A simple check-in could have easily prevented this- all he had to do was literally turn around. The service felt dismissive and honestly stereotypical, as if we were being treated like we couldn't afford to be there. While this is a college town and some students may not tip well, I work full-time, have graduated, and had no issue paying for this meal. For the price point, the level of service should have been far better. The server also repeatedly came to our table with items meant for other tables, adding to the overall disorganization. Our reservation was from 7:00-8:30 PM, and around 8:15 PM the server suddenly became attentive and rushed us, seemingly to turn the table for the next reservation. We did speak with the manager, Mario, at the end, and he was kind enough to offer a gift card, which we appreciated. However, this was our first time dining here, and it was a very upsetting experience. For the price and reputation of this restaurant, the service was extremely disappointing. Despite the gift card, I don't see us returning. The experience was poor, and my tip reflected the level of service we received. I would like to highlight that the food and drinks were delicious, and the atmosphere was very pleasant- there were no issues with either one, the issue was the service. read more

We had our first meal at Spurriers tonight. It was delicious, the themed Spurrier walls are stories about Steve himself. The manager was more than hospitable, offering details, and showing off the information hung on the walls. Best of all Coach was there and was very very talkative. Wonderful evening. Highly recommend this casual dining with excellent food. read more

Cold flavorless burger. That's all. If you can't get that right, I don't want to know about anything else. Way overpriced.

We went there on Friday the 13th for my Birthday dinner, Everyone from the Hostess to the server wished me a Happy Birthday. Everything we ate was awesome. We got the Spinach Artichoke Dip and Brazilian Cheesy Rolls for Appetizers, we also got the Shrimp Scampi, it was awesome, tasted wonderful, we also got the Blacken Red Fish, my husband loved it, Chicken Marsala, my daughter also loved it. Our drinks were wonderful I got the Steve's Aloha Martini's they were wonderful, plus my daughter in law got the Raspberry lemon drop Martini, she said it was yummy. Our server Thomas was wonderful, very friendly, helpful, prices were great for the food we got, drink prices were a little high. The Ambiance of the restaurant was awesome, all the football memorabilia was great to look at, brought back a lot of wonderful memories! We will be back! read more

My visit to the HBC establishment was the highlight of my weekend in G'ville. Coach Spurrier's Gridiron Grille was welcoming and beautifully decorated. No attention to detail was sparred as all elements of his illustrious career were highlighted. Reception area greeters provided seating options for my party of 1 and encouraged looking around to assist with my decision. There was also a private party in the area to the left. Rooms were open and glass allowed viewing of Coach's memorabilia including championship rings! Opted for the bar seating and was provided food and beverage options from the fully stocked bar. I choose the short rib crostini appetizers since our leader Erica recommended "anything with short ribs" and she told no lies! The flavors were exquisite and ample enough to have leftovers. They paired well with the mixed greens salad with farro, avocados and a lemon vinaigrette dressing. I ordered an apple vinaigrette dressing to add to salad and it was exactly what I needed. The two flavors blended well and made my created meal even more enjoyable. The bar selection was well stocked as previously mentioned. As I was not feeling great the discovery of the Immunata mocktail was greatly appreciated. It consisted of tumeric, ginger and club soda. Truly enjoyed the unique mocktail selections which could become a cocktail with inclusion of recommended liquors. Service was exceptional from start to finish. It was a rainy Saturday but that did not deter the crowd, especially with graduation ceremony taking place that day. Large parties, families, couples and solo diners were all present and catered to equally. Price point was reasonable and on par for the new Celebration Point area of Gainesville. I did hear comparisons to Celebration in Orlando, Fl area, and agree on similarities with shops, a variety of restaurants/bars and a movie theatre. Could definitely return and spend several hours with another visit to the Head Ball Coach's restaurant! read more

We made a reservation and we were seated in minutes. Only complaint is it took 15-20 minutes just to get someone to take our drink order. By the time the server showed up we ended up ordering our food instead. Ordered the filet 6oz and miso Brussels sprouts. Food was delicious and will definitely return just hope service improves. read more

Sat at the bar. Food, drinks and service were great. I will definitely go back next time I'm in town.

A unique experience! The food was delicious and full of amazing flavors. The atmosphere was so inviting and fun. Decorated to celebrate a football player and coach, Steve Spurrier. It also houses a a memorabilia exhibit showcasing historic items from Steve Spurrier's career, including rings, trophies, and the Heisman Trophy. The food was very tasty and upscale. Will definitely go back! I recommend making reservations just in case since it was very busy when we went. read more

I had heard about this place for some time and it surpassed my expectations. The restaurant itself is very classy with a beautiful bar. The tables are spread out enough that you don't feel like you are having dinner with other patron. Spurrier's Heisman trophy is right there for the viewing. We started with the cheesy bread which was fantastic. I had the short rib which might have been the best short rib dish I have ever had. My son, my nephew and his girlfriend all had the filet which was incredible. The offer 4 different sauces which we all sampled. I highly recommend this place and will return when I am in town again in May. read more

We continue to not be impressed by this restaurant. We made a reservation for 8 people for brunch ($75/person with gratuity) and when we showed up we had a table with 6 chairs. We said we reserved an 8 top and they offered to add two chairs to the corners because one side of the table was against the wall. Last time we were here for an advertised Buffet with a "carving station" ($150/person) it was all seafood with no meat. The stars are because the brunch food is good but the service continues to be terrible. We brought a ticket for NYE and they oversold tickets as we were not able to find seats despite the over $100 price tag per person read more

Thanks for making a birthday celebration fantastic. Nice attention to detail - everyone from the hostess to the server said Happy Birthday! Food was superb - will totally be back! read more

I stopped in for bar service only and was treated like a VIP by the Mixologists. Beautiful establishment! Clean! Decorated nicely! Part Restaurant, Part Football Museum. Lots to experience! Lots to see! Drink of choice was the Spicy Succulent and I kept the same for a few more. A great drink! Prepared with Lugos Pitorro Rum, Aloe Chareau, Lemon, Agave, Jalapeño, Cucumber & Basil. An Award winning Cocktail! I'm definitely coming Back next time I'm in the area and will dine in for the full experience. Come check out Spurriers. Can't wait! read more

Had an awesome dinner here this past weekend, and had Melody as our server who did a great job and provided detailed explanations on the menu. Started off with a lychee martini, a spicy tequila based cocktail (The Kick?), and the SOS. All three were fantastic, and I was particularly impressed with the spice level for the tequila drink. After that we had the Brazilian cheesy rolls and the Eggplant fritters. I have no idea what they stuff into these fritters but they are warm and crispy, and the goat cheese + marinara + pesto is a nice combo. For mains we had the sweet corn ravioli and the chicken marsala. Both were great, but the sweet corn ravioli really knocked it out the park. Don't get me wrong, the chicken marsala was cooked well, the mushroom and marsala sauce tasted fresh, and the mashed potatoes were soft. I just wish the chicken was a little more moist. But I'm just being picky honestly. Lastly, we finished the night off with a white chocolate bread pudding which was heavenly. Don't think twice, get this dessert. Overall, great dinner, great atmosphere, great service. What an awesome addition to Celebration Pointe. 50% off Tini Tuesday's is also a must. read more

Pretty average to be honest. Ordered 6oz filet rare, and it was a crossection of rare to medium. Easily the strangest bread pudding I've ever had - a lump of something, not clear on what though. Overall straight up bland food. Our server was a real nice guy and the interior is well done! read more

Spurrier's Gridiron Grill can seem like one of those themed restaurant tourist traps, a la Planet Hollywood; getting people in with tchotchkes and memorabilia from Coach Spurrier's time as UF's head football coach and using nostalgia to try and get away with serving substandard food. I'm happy to say that is not the case here. For dinner, I had the short rib and wild mushroom risotto. That short rib was Sunday-pot-roast tender, breaking apart at the mere thought of my fork penetrating its meaty center. The risotto was creamy and glistening in the beef ju. That ju was perfect in keeping the risotto from turning into spackle as risotto is wont to do with the passage of time. A quick stir of that ju and the risotto was back to its creamy self again and recharged with big beautiful beefy flavor. My only nitpick, if there is one, is the dish is so rich, I was searching for some relief for something acidic or "a ribbon of brine" as it were, to alleviate the palate. Even if you're not a Gator fan, definitely check out @spurriersgridirongrille and most definitely get this short rib and risotto dish. read more

Pleasant ambiance, good food and drinks, clean restaurant and restrooms. Great location. Good service.

The best brunch on Sundsys! Don't miss the wings! Expensive but worth it. Great decor

Pretty good overall, when we entered it was very noisy but once we were sat in the dining room things calmed down. The waiter had an assistant which worked out for very good service. The prices were reasonable and they had very wide array of beer, cocktails and wine. We got 3 6oz filets and they varied a bit in size but were cooked as ordered. The proteins were all cooked well, the red fish was very good. The proteins were definitely the star of the dish as they should be but the carrots and broccolini were both served warm, not hot. The dishes were also not served at the same time, definitely a huge negative for me. The short ribs and mushroom risotto was excellent, probably the best dish we had. The serving size generally left room for desert, which I personally love. Just notable if you like oversized portions. We rarely see chocolate mousse on a desert menu so we jumped at the chance and it was awesome. Kudos to the chef that made the mousse. They had a nice port selection which paired nicely with the mousse. I heard parking could be tough but we got a spot on the street out front, lucky for us perhaps? read more

Very cool spot, and a must go if you are Gator's fan or alum! We are USC alum, not Gamecocks, but Trojans, and certainly can appreciate the tradition #FightOn! MELODY, was a fantastic server! Not just saying it and this certainly is not some fake review! So friendly, accommodating, and made our experiences relaxed and fun. No offense, but typically places that are so focused on other aspects sometimes lose the focus on the food. Not at Spurrier's! The food was great and make sure to check out the Tomahawk Pork Chop. It was fantastic and also perfect for a midnight snack. Cocktails also were great. Old fashioned with bacon was a treat for sure! read more

Amazing! You can either get dressed up or dress casual and you will fit right in. Our server did a phenomenal job at stopping by to check on us. Loved everything we ordered! I had the sweet corn ravioli which had so much flavor and texture. Would probably get this again it was so good and a unique dish. I also ordered their broccolini as a side because I love this. They did a great job cooking and seasoning this too. Cannot wait to come back and try more dishes! The area was a great environment too. Had a live band outside, fun desert shop around the corner which is a must try too read more

Madeline was incredible! She went above and beyond to take care of our table. We started off with the blue and orange Shrimp as an appetizer and the only thing that fell short was there wasn't more!

Very disappointed as a former gator the way I was treated by the staff last night at the restaurant. Played football for the Gators 2014-2016 and I now work will Steve Spurrier Jr. I will be advising Billy Napier and the rest of Gainesville about the racial discrimination going on in your restaurant. Kim the manager was beyond ridiculous and and unprofessional. Simply need to be better. Good luck read more

I stopped by Spurrier's Gridiron Grille while passing through Gainesville around 4 PM on a Thursday. The restaurant was nearly empty, which made what followed even more disappointing. The hostess greeted me kindly and asked for my name, just stood there 20-minutes waiting to be seated--despite there being only about four people in the entire restaurant. She mentioned she couldn't leave the desk, which felt odd given how empty the place was. After finally being seated, a staff member came by to pour water and said our waitress would be right with us. Unfortunately, another 20 minutes passed with no service at all. No one checked in, no service, nothing? At that point, we decided to walk out. A total of 45 minutes wasted in a nearly empty restaurant with no explanation or effort to serve us. I genuinely hope this was an off day, but based on this experience, I won't be returning read more

I am an Auburn fan born and raised , but heard glowing reviews about this place. My husband's a food writer/ blogger in Jacksonville, so he agreed to brunch. It was a buffet style brunch with everything from an omelette station to shredded short ribs. I tried the fried chicken wings, waffle with strawberry rhubarb butter bacon, bananas foster with maple syrup, potatoes and shrimp Étouffée with the best Mac and cheese, baked salmon..... Then I hit the salad and dessert bar. Dear Lord! I had to get fresh fruit (to feel healthy), and the blueberry scones, delicious southern peach cobbler. With so much to choose from it was so amazingly delicious! $30 per person, all you could eat and $20 bottomless mimosas! Yes! Highly recommended!! Oh and if you're a Florida gator fan or not, this place is a museum of Coach Spurrier's accolades. It's very cool! Kudos to the staff for the welcoming and friendly atmosphere! Thought I was back home for a while:) Will be back. read more

We went to celebrate New Year with my in-laws. They asked me to recommend a nice restaurant since they were from out of town. My husband and I came here couple times for business/work dinners. While the food isn't spectacular, the service was usually good. This time we brought the family. I was quite disappointed with the service. We specifically made reservation for early dinner to make sure the service wouldn't be too busy. The waitress did not mention any specials and barely checked in on us. We had to constantly ask for things that should be a common service such as glasses of water for everyone. Two people ordered steaks but had to ask for steak knives. One was brought out after we had asked so we had to ask for another one. It was a bare minimum service. We would understand if it was the end of their shift and they were tired. However, another table that was seated after us got to hear the specials and noticeably received a better service than our table of 6. The food did not makeup for the subpar service. We won't be coming back with family. read more

Went here for dinner with coworkers and our table was outside. It was a Friday and they had live music on the lawn beside the restaurant. Very good cover band that play a little bit of everything. At my table the squid ink linguine, veggie burger, house salad, fish dip, cheesy rolls, Brussels sprouts, broccolini, street corn, bread pudding with ice cream, and cookies were ordered. The Brussels sprouts were yummy, cheesy rolls, veggie burger had a lot of flavor. Broccolini was very lemony. The bread pudding was okay but may have been better if it was warm. Overall I loved the vibes and the Brussels the most. Jimmy was our server and was great! read more
