50 Best Fast Food Restaurants in Gainesville

“BEST CHICKEN SANDWICHES OF ALL TIME!!!“

“they have the best food and service and their workers are very friendly and helpful“

“The food was great but the service left my wife and I in awe after a crazy park adventure with our children. Before we even got our order we received fresh cut strawberries for our boys. The dining area is kept in tip top shape and table service provided by Casey was impeccable. What pushed me over the edge to leave a review was my trip to the bathroom. Not only was the bathroom spotless but it actually smelled nice lol. Thanks Blaze for an effortless lunch with two kids.“

“Great local burger joint! Can't go wrong with an extra side of the Dick's sauce.“

“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.“

“The food is delicious and employees were very attentive and friendly. It was so busy but service was quick. Will eat here before every Gator game!“

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

“Great burgers. Fries. Sweet tea. Been ordering the same for 38 years. Yes our family definitely loves Macs Drive Thru Go get some. Just leave room for the rest of us. 🤣“

“they have the best food and service and their workers are very friendly and helpful“

“Idc what anyone says, relish (downtown location) has the best burgers and best people in this town.
I’ve had burgers all over town n yeah that includes dick mondel n DJs cast iron (both severely overrated)
Relish is the place to get a good burger for a good price.“

“Nice place to sit down and have a burger.“

“good good food very clean place“

“Everything is delicious, custard is the bomb 💣“

“Raising caines has always been one of my favorite chicken places. The one on university was nice, but hard to get to for those not close to UF. This new building is great, and very nicely decorated. The food itself is consistently great, count me a repeat customer.“

“Staff and food are always excellent...“

“Food wasnt good here & it is the only checkers/ rally's that their burgers & fries arent greasy & upsets my stomach. Their food is fresh & good & I drive 40mins away just to go to this place & eat. However, the ground around the tables here could be cleaner but food quality is really good here“

“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!“

“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!❤️🌯“

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

“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.“

“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“

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

“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! 💗“

“Lots of choices on the menu, food tastes great, wonderful design and setup. You have your own individual parking space to order from and it's your own choice to either sit in your parking space and eat or leave after you get your order. Lots of parking lots with menu order service to choose from.“

“the cheese steak are almost like Philly“

“This is chick fil a has three lanes. A pass through lane, a drive through lane, and a lane for orders that were placed online. Their service is fast friendly and easy.
This chick fil a is easy to get in and out of. I did not go inside but I know they have the dining here.
Our food was fresh as usual.“

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

“Its pretty sad that we can not get food at Arby's in ocala and have to come to gainesville to eat. Jalen, Robert and Landis are what fast food should be, these gentlemen take great pride in cooking and serving food. Only complaint we had......THE FOOD WAS HOT.....LOL. Great job guys you definitely rocked it, and we will call ahead from now on to make sure your there. Again thanks you everything.“

“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“

“I was so pleasantly surprised I had to post a review. The chicken was so tender and well seasoned I was very pleased to have tried it.
So I made another visit to try the steak. Again pleasantly surprised. Tender, well seasoned, and NOT GREASY.
GREAT STUFF!$“

“People always part there that shouldn’t“

“I’m not sure of the young lady that answer the phone today 9.18 at 115pm but it was for my order for my hubby working in Gainesville near the college the guys are starving an their boss left them with no way to get food! I am the only wife out of the group so I did my duties and ordered up a few pizzas and a 2liter for them. And this young lady just made my day! I called to remind about the plates, but sadly no cups they have but she was willing to run next door for me and get 4 cups from the liquor store I didn’t even have to ask!!! She restores faith in humanity!! What a sweet woman!! And my husband and the fellas will be so appreciative! You have an amazing employee name Concetta (she just called me back and I got her name! ) she needs to be recognized for her efforts and her customer service!! Amazing job!! Thank you so much for taking care of my husband and the fellas!“

“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!“

“Stopped by on Sept 8th and returned again this week for my lunch. Thank you for a delicious sandwich April and getting the toppings exactly how I like it. Will return again. It's hard to find a good sandwich artist. Quick efficient and tidy.“

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

“I’m from the Jersey Shore. Just moved here last month and love that there is a little bit of home here. Not to mention they make the best subs hands down!!“

“I tried the buffalo chicken Philly on white bread (no lettuce for me 😄🥪), and it turned out really tasty! The flavors were bold, the chicken was juicy, and it was one of those sandwiches I’d happily order again 👍🔥

What also stood out was the staff—they were super friendly and welcoming, which always makes a meal better 😊👏 The restaurant itself was very clean and well kept, so the whole experience felt comfortable and pleasant.

If you’ve never tried this spot before, especially this location, I’d definitely suggest giving it a shot. It’s a solid choice when you’re craving something filling and flavorful. I’ll be back for another sandwich soon! 😋✨“

“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.“

“Goooooooooooooooooooooood“

“Was on campus for a work lunch and decided to stop in. Such a pleasant atmosphere and very clean entering the buffet station was very clean. My coworker and I were one of the first to dig in. Salad and all the ingredients were fresh great options. The brisket was just delicious moist tender, and the flavors were spot on. Thoroughly enjoyed the menu posted today. It looks like they change daily and I picked one of the best days. All employees were very watchful making sure everything was cleaned and maintained in the dining area and buffet area. If you want a nice hot lunch And a great atmosphere check them out while on campus.“

“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.“

“Always have to wait for stuff to be cooked so not really what I’d categorize “Fast Food” when run out of steamed white rice sometimes there’s a lack of concern & refusal to make more. Bought only one meal.“

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

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

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

“Whenever my boyfriend and I are tired of eating fast food, we stop by here and get us their delicious sandwiches. I don’t have any complaints at this locations; they’re pretty fast and accurate.“

“Between the highly addictive (cause they're so yummy!), pretzel bites (cinnamon sugar is my go-to), the friendly staff, and the people watching, this place is FYE (🔥). Got the mini pretzel dogs today, then window shopped with my little one for back to school deals.“

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

“I would recommend Wawa’s for everything but their ice tea . Their ice tea leaves a lot to be desired and you know how we need our ice tea here in the south. It taste like instant tea 🤢(Gainesville,Fl. )“

“Archer rd always hot and fresh chicken sales thanks“
