I've never had an actual meal here, but I got their onions rings and they were to die for! The atmosphere is super cute and it's very convenient if you're at the park and need a snack/meal. The service is decently quick. I got the Goldie's sauce with onion rings as well and it was amazing!

My boyfriend and I decided to get some food from here after we watched the sunset at depot. We got the loaded cheese fries and I really enjoyed them, plus they weren't too expensive. They are crinkle fries and the fries were pretty soft not crispy, but I like them like that. There were lots of toppings and overall I really enjoyed them. They didn't take too long to come out and the seating area inside is really cute.

I was on my way to Tallahassee and decided to stop at a fun place in Gainesville for lunch. The Depot Park has a wine/beer restaurant, and a burger restaurant. Since the beer and wine place was closed for a private event, I decided to give Goldies a try. I ordered the 4 piece chicken tenders at the counter, and a can of diet Coke. I sat at a table on the porch and a couple minutes later, the tenders came. It came pretty hot and juicy with a side of the requested ranch sauce. The tenders were good and had an ample amount of breading, but found the seasoning was a bit salty. I found the ranch sauce was vegan, but it did have a decent flavor and was creamy. However, for 6.25 for 4 small pieces, I found it to be a bit expensive. The counter service was very friendly. The attendant was a bit busy at the back, but acknowledged me. After a minute, he was at the front and greeted me. My tenders were served to my table once it was ready. He asked if I needed anything else, but all were available at the counter. The dining area is pretty small with about 4-5 tables in an open aired porch. At least it was covered and had fans. There was a TV playing an animated movie, and they had a Florida gator kiddie ride for 50 cents. The kiddie ride was generously long (about 2-3 minutes) and gentle adults are also welcome to ride. The beer and wine place was next door, as well as a convenience store. At the park, there is a big playground and water area for the kids, and a pond with a fountain. The pond has real alligators relaxing there. There is a walking trail, but beware of the alligators, snakes, and biting bugs. Parking is free at the park, but can be cramped. Instead, you can park across the street and walk to the depot. Goldies is a nice burger joint at the Depot, and the kids seem to enjoy it as well. Next time, I will try the burgers, but I wish they had other burger meats other than beef. The service is friendly and while the dining area is small, the atmosphere looks cool. It's close to the university so it is a good place for the gators to chillax and enjoy.

Burgers were just okay. The fries were hot but had a ton too much cheese sauce for me so I'd have preferred to get that on the side if there's ever a next visit. The server that took our orders was great. He was friendly and gave us his recommendation! Cool little place but not sure the burgers were quite as good as the hype I'd read about them.

I was over in Depot Park recently, and it was lunchtime so I figured I would sample the food that is offered in the area. Goldie's Burgers was the place to go it seemed, so that is what I went for. They get a lot of traffic from the park, so you will see a lot of skaters and other park residents showing up there. There are some tables and chairs in the room to sit at, but I did not stay around to sit in them and soak up the vibes of the place. Located on the North side of the park in a revamped railroad station, Goldie's does made-to-order burgers and other items that would fit in a counter-service establishment, including some fried seafood. I went for the double smash burger and an order of fries. My wait time was about 8-10 minutes, which is decent for something that is made while you wait. The burger was a good burger, nicely melted cheese on it and the Goldie Sauce was a nice touch. The fries are seasoned, and unfortunately had a bit of a fishy taste to them, which means they use the same oil for their seafood as they do for their fries. People with shellfish allergies should be aware of this, since one of the items they have is a shrimp po'boy.

Amazing proximity to the park, amazing customer service, amazing food. The guy that works there is really nice and will answer any questions or help you out. The atmosphere is cute and feels like you're in a boxcar. Genuinely one of the best places to buy food in Gainesville and also happens to be very affordable too.
Decided to eat here instead of REN Fest food. First the line was out the door and around the building! The guys cooking and the guy running the register were hustling and rocking it!!! Orders came out fast and delicious! Totally impressed they were keeping up with the demand total respect for all of Goldie’s team! Thank
First visit great hot food smash burger was awesome. Shrimp po boy great. The loaded fries were outstanding. Seasoning on fries was perfect. If I had to critique anything I would say a little more sauce for the burger and the po boy.

Best burgers in Gainesville (that I've tried anyway). They're smash burgers so get the double unless you eat like a bird. I can be picky about "special sauces" but theirs is perfect. Onion rings are huge and so good. Plenty of seating inside and they're located right in front of depot park, which is nice. They only have online ordering through door dash and you can choose to pick up instead of getting it delivered. For me, it's just easier to go there and order. Service is fast but food is always fresh. Prices are reasonable. Definitely recommend.
Very fun little burger joint in Gainesville. We live in Ocala but we're traveling home from a trip and the kids needed dinner. So we were basically doing a blind search through google maps for anything that sounded good. First off let me tell you that this burger joint sits adjoining Depot Park which had a really cool playground and splash park (in season). The restaurant itself is inside what looks like at old train depot. I'm not sure if that's the case or if it was built to complement the theme but cool either way. Everything we ordered was made fresh and absolutely delicious. The staff was friendly and helpful with any questions we had about the menu. We especially enjoyed the tochos loaded tots. We look forward to visiting again and maybe taking our lunch to the park area another day.
