It could have been a good night but service definitely wasn't up to par... The hostess was great…read morebut that's where it kinda stopped. Our waiter's timing was off. It wasn't busy(at first) but we still felt rushed. Ordered an app then we ordered entrees. After waiting a bit, he comes back and says there are no pasta dishes in the kitchen. Like wtf, I mean they didn't tell u when u brought the order to the kitchen? But then you bring out the extra side/ house salad that I ordered to go with the pasta. I didn't want it anymore .Fast forward, then this guy brings out the checks while I'm still eating. Like really? And then I was a little offended that he gave us 2 separate checks without asking.Whats funny is that Me and my best friend always try to pay for each other lol, so who told him to do separate checks. But I try not to assume... Now the food was just okay. Had the gator tail and it was salty. Then after "no pasta" I went with the summer salad. And I guess they were out of stuff for this too. It was missing the Blueberry and the apple. Guess they figure they would see if I noticed. Well I did notice, i was just over it, and was just too late complain. This place gave me No reason to come back

Unfortunately this is a one and done place for us. We've been here before a few years before but we…read moredecided to give it another try. Fish and chips: crispy outside, doughy inside with barely any fish. Batter is heavy and dense. Nothing light about it at all. Cobb Salad: iceberg lettuce. Dry chicken. And I mean dryyyy. This salad just wasn't appealing. Eggs were mush. I just don't have anything nice to say. Water: yes. This too is bad. They definitely need to invest in a filtration system because water shouldn't have a flavor. This sums it up. Service was pleasant and the place clean. That gets a star each from me.

We sat at the bar while in town to see our Gator. We wanted to grab a light snack so we split two…read morethings. We got the blue crab appetizer. I thought they would be served chilled, but they fried them. They were very good though, lightly fried with a very good dipping sauce. We also split the jambalaya, which was a very generous portion. The jambalaya was very, very delicious. The place has a cozy, dark, masculine, old school feel. Bartender very friendly. I'll definitely go back when in Gainesville again.

We went on a Saturday afternoon, street parking is free but good luck! There is a parking garage…read moreclose by and some lots that you pay with an app a block or 2 away. We arrived around 4:30 and still had a 15 minute wait. We waited at the bar and fun fact, happy hour everyday from 2-7 and all day on Tuesdays! Signature cocktails are $8 and beers as low as $4. This place has great prices all around. It's got a nice dining vibe inside, dimly lit but lots of windows, it sits on a corner. We got shrimp and scallop Orleans, stuffed shrimp and blackened red fish. Everything was served hot and at the same time and all very good. We all got collard greens and they were excellent. My only minor beef is that the blacked fish wasn't very spicy. Still great though. Service was very good. Great spot and best prices I've seen anywhere.

i actually think this was the best cava i have been to very good food and good serviceread more

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 usually go for bone-in wings, but I had a deal for the tenders meal, so I gave it a try, and I…read morewas pleasantly surprised! I got the 3 tenders tossed in the limited-time sweet chili glaze, and my boyfriend went with the garlic parm. The tenders were super juicy and flavorful. I picked it up about 20 minutes late (oops), but they were still pretty warm, which I appreciated. This Asian-inspired sauce offered a perfect balance of sweet, spicy, and savory flavor profile. You could taste the combination of sweet chili sauce, hoisin, and red chili paste, with sesame seeds which added for a crunchy texture. Now, the fries... sigh. The seasoning is so good, but they're always soggy, even when you dine in. That's the one thing I really wish Wingstop could get right. Crispy fries would take it to the next level. But the ranch as always was amazing, truly some of the best ranch in the fast food game. Still, I'd definitely order again, especially for those tenders!

I really enjoyed your wings. We had the barbecue smoked barbecue sauce. The mango habanero they…read morewere fresh.

Let me start by saying I absolutely hate leaving bad reviews. I've worked in the service industry,…read moreboth bussing tables when I was younger and waitressing, so I'm very understanding. For me to leave a review this negative, the service truly had to be poor. Last night, we chose this place to celebrate my Irish heritage with a green beer and some light food. There is plenty of parking and outdoor seating, which is a plus. However, when we arrived, there was a line of people waiting for a table, and it quickly turned chaotic. One woman tried to cut the line, and another wanted to argue over a small booth that her family wouldn't have even fit in. Eventually, we were seated. I understand that holidays can be busy, so we were trying to be patient. Our waiter came over, dropped off menus, said "I'll be right back," and disappeared. After 25 minutes of waiting at the table, I had to flag down another waitress. Meanwhile, at least three tables that were seated after us already had drinks and had placed their food orders. I understand being busy, but at the very least, we should have been greeted or offered drinks. The waitress we flagged down said she would help us, which seemed promising at first, but then we waited another 20 minutes just for drinks. I'm not sure if it was an understaffing issue or something else, but the service was extremely poor. We considered leaving a one-star review, but the waitress did seem like she was trying. The food was okay, we ordered light items, and it still took quite a while to arrive. Overall, we would recommend skipping this place. There are plenty of other options in town that will treat you better. We work hard, and when we go out, we expect at least standard service.

The staff was polite, the food however, very disappointing…read more The quality does not meet the value paid. The burger was so small; a "quarter pound burger,"yeah, maybe before it was way over cooked and definitely, severely over priced. Should have just gone to Dick Mondell's on the other side of town and just waited in their line. At least then I wouldn't have left a restaurant still hungry after spending $20 for just me. It would have been $30 if I would have built the burger I really wanted. At least the music was ok.

My wife and I have eaten many times at Hurricane BTW. My wife loves the cranberry chicken salad…read moreand I like the boneless wings. Usually everything is wonderful. On our latest visit my wife wanted some extra dressing for her salad. The server said the it would be an extra 50 cents. Since when does a restaurant charge for extra dressing. It is a big salad and she felt it just needed a bit more than the little cup that came with it. In addition, a lot of the lettuce in the salad was wilted and brown as if it was old. When we told the server she said she would tell the kitchen staff. Normally, we love the restaurant and would give it 5 stars, but can't do it based on how cheap they are with the dressing and the brown lettuce. Service however was very good.
