BBQ of legends! The best brisket, ribs, pork, and chicken around. There are only good options here…read more Sides of green beans, mixed veggies, baked beans, and mac and cheese pair perfectly with the meals. Authentic brewed sweet tea completes the meal for me. Although this place resides within a gas station, once you're inside it feels more like a restaurant with a convenience store. There are tables, chairs with back support, and warm hospitality. I usually take my meal to go, but I've also comfortably eaten inside.

I am absolutely disgusted by the level of disrespect I experienced at Pearls today. After nearly 15…read moreyears of being a loyal customer, I can confidently say I will NEVER step foot inside this establishment again. As I approached the ordering counter, a middle-aged blonde woman was sorting silverware when she abruptly asked, "ARE YOU READY TO ORDER?" in an incredibly rude and condescending tone. Before I could even finish asking about the day's special, she snapped, "IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU WANT, STEP TO THE SIDE AND GET YOUR STUFF TOGETHER!" I was genuinely speechless. The sheer hostility, arrogance, and complete lack of professionalism were astonishing. To speak to a customer in such a degrading manner, especially in front of other customers, is absolutely unacceptable. I wasn't being difficult. I wasn't causing a scene. I was simply trying to order food and ask about the daily special. Apparently, basic courtesy is too much to expect at Pearls. I walked out immediately, completely shocked and embarrassed by the interaction. What makes this particularly disappointing is that I've supported Pearls for nearly 15 years. Fifteen years of choosing this restaurant, spending my money here, and giving them my business, only to be treated as though my presence was an inconvenience. Pearls, you lost a 15-year customer in less than 30 seconds. And here's the thing: Customers should never have to earn the right to be treated with basic respect. Good food means absolutely nothing when the service leaves such a disgusting taste in your mouth.

The beer selection is surprisingly broad for a small shop, with plenty of local brews and rotating options that make it easy to grab something new each visit. Prices are fair, and the staff keeps the place running smoothly even when it gets busy. What really sets it apart is the vibe -- relaxed, unfussy, and very Gainesville. Whether you're picking up a quick drink before heading downtown or stocking up for a low‑key night, Pop A Top is reliable, friendly, and exactly what you want from a local corner store.

I was in the area for lunch after my nail appointment and have had my eye on Pop A Top for a while…read more It's on the corner of Main Street and University Ave and I was able to park on the street. Walking in, it gives a corner store/bodega vibes. They are known for their vegan and vegetarian sandwich options. While I had my eyes on the hot dogs, I decided to go with the smoked tofu sandwich - which the staff said was highly recommend due to the vegan chipotle mayo sauce. I waited for about 5 minutes or so for my sandwich which was about $13. The standouts were the smoked tofu and the chipotle sauce. The tofu was flavorful almost like smoked paprika and some spicy. The chipotle was very creamy and great component to the sandwich. I wish they would've toasted the sandwich as the vegan cheese is just an afterthought. I do want to come back for the hot dogs and other sandwiches here. Vegans and vegetarians in the Gainesville here, this is the spot for you.

Be aware that the corner is actually the intersection of three streets - not the typical 2 streets, creating 5 corners. Has Subway inside but no seating to eat in store. Strictly to go orders.

I discovered Gate this past semester and am so happy I did! Located right by my apartment, it is…read moresuper convenient. Gate is a fairly new gas station and is really nice. The inside is always kept clean and the staff is super nice. Seriously, their staff is super friendly. There have been multiple occasions where they have gone out of their way to help me. Gate's selection of snacks is top notch as well. I find that they carry a lot more options than Wawa down the road. Along with their greater selection of snacks, they offer a lot more hot or made-to-order options as well. They are always restocking things too, so you will most likely find what you are looking for. While I don't own a car in Gainesville, this is a gas station and has pumps, not just food! Haven't used the bathrooms, but I'd guess they are clean. One of the main reasons I've started coming here more often (aside from their awesome food selection) is their frozen yogurt. This particular Gate offers frozen yogurt. You don't pay by the weight either. They offer small cups for customers to fill up with as much froyo they can fit. There are about 6 flavors to choose from, although 2 of them haven't been available when I've come. Along with the frozen yogurt, there is a toppings bar. While the toppings selection isn't huge, it is sufficient and provides most of what you would need. Toppings include a small variety of chocolate candies, cookies, sour gummies, cereals, boba, and drizzles. I will also note the toppings bar has always been very clean each time I've visited. The frozen yogurt is about $5 for a cup. All the cups are the same size. I absolutely love coming in here to get froyo as there isn't any close to campus. Some other things I thoroughly enjoy from Gate are their food options. My favorite being their cookies, which come in a pack of two. The cookies are baked fresh daily and taste amazing. I've never had a gas station cookie that wowed me this much. I highly recommend the chocolate chip, but the white chocolate macadamia is good too. Sometimes if they are out a particular flavor, you can ask the desk and the kitchen might be able to help you out! On one occasion I was able to get my hands on freshly baked chocolate chip cookies just by asking if anymore were available. This is also an example of how great their staff is!! This is a lengthy review for a gas station, but I love Gate! They offer an awesome selection of snacks and drinks you cannot find at Wawa or Publix. They even have pints of BlueBell ice cream available. While the frozen yogurt is undoubtedly one of the reasons I come here. I would stop by to enjoy their cookies ANY DAY OF THE WEEK. The staff is awesome, the inside is kept clean--what more could you want?
