“I first had Germain’s during an event that they catered. I do not claim to know if they still offer catering but you’re going to want to visit their 8th Ave location in Gainesville FL either way. Get a sandwich and fries. They also served water in glass bottles that you are free to take to your chosen table. They’re in a plaza with several other businesses. A record shop, Sunshine Records, a second hand shop called Flashbacks and just across a split parking lot is local gem that offers brunch and I believe more, Afternoon. Cypress & Grove is across the way and Serpentine is a kickass plant shop. As downtown Gainesville has expanded, some sweet spots are outside of University and Main. Take a chance and wander, there’s a huge arcade across from Germain’s called Bragging Rights, make an afternoon and enjoy yourself. Parking is ample. See ya out there.“

“This is my first time in Gainesville Florida. Saw this place while exploring the city. The cars were to the street, which made me curious ?. When I googled the establishment, I saw that the menu was small and simple. I must say they did not disappoint. My order was a cheeseburger and fries. It was DELICIOUS. I give them a 9 out of 10. My fries just weren't hot enough to my liking. Great service! No photos cause I ate it all. Lol“

I got an enchilada plate with asada and it was great! For breakfast I ordered a breakfast burrito and breakfast taco. Both were very good. I highly recommend El Indio if you haven't been before, everything is great. Except for the prices, I know prices go up but this used to be a budget place to get some really good food, now the prices are significantly more and seem like they go up every time I'm in town.“

“My husband and I went to store 1262 on 11/10/23 at 10am. Yvonne served us and she Nicknamed my husband Popeye because he is very muscular. Yvonne has an amazing attitude that you don't see anymore. I wish the whole world was like her. The world would be a better place. I hope she sees this. She deserves a raise or a bonus. We also met the biscuit maker, I didn't get his name. He took so much pride in his work! He said the number 1 ingredient in the biscuits is love and he is changing the world one biscuit at a time ❤️❤️❤️. He also deserves a raise or a bonus. The store was very clean including the bathrooms. I don't work in retail or the food industry but if I ever do need a job I would be proud to work for Yvonne!“

“I've written elsewhere about how Subway has overall, altogether become "meh" but this location has more consistently fulfilled orders accurately.They're a few minutes' drive further than the closer Haile location but especially if they've been my convenient go-to with a loved one in the hospital they've seldom disappointed. Their being right beside a big regional hospital, with people on any given day far more likely to be stressed out, including patients and hospital staff both, who might take a botched order far less kindly than I, probably motivates them to do right. I can appreciate that.Of course, a standard barometer for any take-out and especially fast food is not getting sick, and I haven't once in recent years felt ill after a meal from this Subway, so that's a plus no matter what.“

“I had always been curious about Jersey Mike’s Subs, but I had never had the chance to try one until recently. I had heard great things about their East Coast-style sandwiches, and I was eager to see if they lived up to the hype. I decided to order the #44 Buffalo Chicken Cheese Steak, which was described as “Frank’s Red Hot Sauce®, lettuce, tomato, white American cheese with blue cheese dressing” on their menu.I was impressed by how they prepared the sandwich in front of me, slicing the bread and the chicken fresh on the spot. The smell of the hot sauce and the cheese was tantalizing, and I couldn’t wait to taste it. I took a big bite and was instantly blown away by the explosion of flavors in my mouth. The chicken was juicy and tender, coated with a spicy and tangy sauce that made my taste buds dance. The cheese was rich and creamy, complementing the heat of the sauce with a smooth texture. The lettuce and tomato added a crunchy and refreshing contrast, while the blue cheese dressing added a savory and pungent note. The bread was soft and fluffy, holding everything together without getting soggy.It was one of the most delicious and satisfying sandwiches I had ever eaten, and I finished it in no time. I felt a wave of happiness and gratitude wash over me, as I had just discovered a new favorite place to eat. Jersey Mike’s Subs had exceeded my expectations, and I couldn’t wait to come back for more.“

“Food tasted great as always. I ordered a two entree meal, consulting of broccoli and beef, orange chicken and super vegetables. The orange chicken and vegetables were the normal size, but the broccoli beef amounted to maybe a 1/4 cup total, mostly one huge chunk of broccoli, with a couple of small pieces of broccoli and two small strips of beef and maybe a teaspoon of sauce. At first I thought it was because it was beef and costly so the portion was reduced, but my husband got the Beijing beef and his serving was twice, if not three times the size. This has happened before with orders of beef and broccoli. I don't understand why. It's my favorite entree, but I've started getting orange chicken or another entree too just so that I have some meat.“
