“I have been going to Mac’s since I first discovered it back in 2009. Every time I go, it’s a treat. Really good burgers fast, despite how long the line looks. So fresh and tasty! �“

“Love the food… great deals on food and an employee named Shaun that was do accommodating, he made this visit a hit to eat here“

“Hands down the best Asian in Gainesville and I have lived here 12 years. I would actually put it up against any Asian place in New York. Not speedy, because everything is fresh-made, right down to the wontons in the wonton soup. Dishes are very nicely spiced rather than slathered in sauce. Ingredients are high quality, from the bok choi to the beef. Please, PLEASE stay in business.“

“Although it is (unfortunately) started in Oklahoma, I am from Texas and this is a "staple" like another restaurant that rhymes with "Waterburger". If Florida could step up the taste and food choices like Texas, we would eat there more than occasionally. But I do stop in for the slushies and "Halloween Corndogs" and the occasional "Footlong Cheese and Onion" that taste pretty good.“

“Everything is delicious, custard is the bomb 💣“

“First visit was pretty good. The servers could use a lit more work in how they deliver and speak to their customers, but over all, good food at a good price.“

“For a fine dining experience, friendly staff and exceptional food cuisine. Arby's“

“Great catering . We ordered over 500 boxes and this franchisee delivered!“

“nice place... very nice people..... ......“

“As always Chick fil a did not disappoint, the my pleasures were flowing, the service was outstanding and the food was amazing. But there were three major blunders that kept was from rating a perfect 5 star. The annoying paper straws, no chick fil a sauce offered, and the horrific loss of the little seating area that used to bring back memories of the past. But inspite of all these major inconveniences, the outstanding milkshakes and inspiring commitment of our favorite employee Bryce Heidorn truly made our experience better.“

“This Arby's location consistently makes great sandwiches! Also, the drive-thru cashiers are always very polite, even when they are mad busy. I go to this location exclusively although I live closer to a different Arby's. The five stars I've given are well-earned.“

“Everytime I visited my mother, who lived just north in Turkey Creek Forest, we visited this Subway location, and I was incredibly impressed every single time! I got the impression that a core family or crew ran the place , and they worked very hard to make everyone happy. I haven't seen service like this in years! 5 stars, totally. It's not easy working and/or running fast food establishments, so I had to hand it to them. Very respectful! 💗“

“This is the BEST place for a burrito! The staff is friendly and the scenery is awesome! My second visit and I had the Mexicano again! Will return, especially across town!(Worth the drive!) Great sweet tea also!❤️🌯“

“People always part there that shouldn’t“

“#Checkers is one of the prime examples of the fine dining cuisine available in the great State of Florida“

“5 out 5 stars! Super friendly staff, our orders are always perfect and hot. LOVE the milkshakes. Took a bunch of lacrosse players there after practice and I think we have a new milkshake tradition!“

“Very friendly staff and the food was the best I have ever had from an Arby’s.“

“Great service, Janet is the best. Mike on in the PUW is always so friendly.“

“I’ve been coming here many years , but today I ordered a hamburger and when I drove away and finally was able to unwrap it a few moments later it was freezing cold like it just came out of the fridge it literally felt like I picked up an ice cube when I grabbed into my bag to get it . The only thing that was good and made to order were the onion rings I’m very disappointed in this place service recently“

“Sandwiches are delicious“

“It’s a college magnet in a University City. The parking is a bit of challenge. The convenience of calling ahead or ordering online works very well. You’ll need to drive around the back under a rain cover and they’ll run the food out to you. Not the traditional drive-thru tho. I was dropped off to order and run around to the curbside to be picked up. Snatch, grab, and run…clean and super fun with all the young people. Great energy for an old man! Nice job my friends. I do with CF would grill chicken breast strips instead of just the nuggets.“

“Great location. Excellent customer service. Just wish it didn’t take 17 minutes to get food from the drive thru window 😩😩😩“

“Goooooooooooooooooooooood“

“As soon as I stepped inside, I was transported to a tropical paradise that smelled of fried food and oil, and I was greeted by the warmest smiles from the staff. The menu was extensive and the food did not disappoint. Moreover, although the outside appearance scared me, the inside was home, and the food was exceptional. Will be returning shortly because it is worth the 30 minutes drive. Best fast food in Gainesville. 😊🍟🐓🍦“

“Everything was awesome!!“

“I like it because anytime my son has a doctor's appointment we always stop here.“

“Blonde girl is super nice and helpful/professional! So is the rest of the staff working the front on: 02/26/2024 at evening time: drove from miami to buy a car in Gainesville so, had to stop for food. Thanks for great pizza and great service.“

“the cheese steak are almost like Philly“

“Had THE BEST Jimmy Johns sub from this location. I went looking for an easy dinner and came out with a sub that was the best I've ever had from Jimmy Johns. Don't know what y'all are doing at this location but it is a step above other locations I've been to. Keep it up! Thanks for a great Italiano!“

“Was waiting to order across the street at a certain restaurant named after a board game, after nearly half an hour of waiting with just one person ahead of me in the line, I still hadn't been given a chance to order. So I walked across the street to Subway and was in and out with my food within 10 minutes. Overall, I definitely prefer the quick and speedy service, as well as welcoming staff.“
