- Keegan HitchcockSeptember 4, 2013Awesome late food, get the corn nuggets! Kinda "Hipster" but in a good way, if that makes sense. Kitschy stuff to look at, good music (different themed nights). Good veggie/vegan options for food too
The black bean cake appetizer portion (eaten as entree) + the chocolate tort (split with a friend) is the perfect meal to not get too full but enjoy every moment of your meal. Enjoy!
Beth BondSeptember 9, 2019What is happiness? Your niece taking you to a very cool restaurant in her college town. Vegan and Meateaters will delight. The falafel pattie was excellent. So were the 1950s lamps.
dawn schulzJuly 20, 2016Everything is good here! I love the pesto gnoqui & the chicken chimichurri especially. The Greek salad is creative and filling. Cocktails are a little expensive, but delicious.
Charley McWhorterMarch 27, 2014Recently had dinner there with friends for the 1st time in years. They've expanded and they were very busy. The food was delicious once it got to the table 50 minutes post order. Very loud and pricey.
Erin HallAugust 2, 2018Had the grilled cheese with pesto. So yummy! My friends had eggplant rollatini, burgers, all said they were great.Was VERY busy on a Saturday night, we waited over an hour but were a party of 8.
rocket burger (goat cheese, arugula, bacon) and sweet potato fries are beyond compare. wait is sometimes long but the craft beer selection is great and the service is always good
DawnNovember 25, 2014The build your own Grilled Cheese is AMAZING! I've had every topping & nothing has disappointed! It is most definitely a MUST TRY! Yum!
Julianne RaymondSeptember 12, 2014I hate to be this person, but literally everything I have ever ordered from here has been amazing! And I love their grapefruit martini. So good it's scary haha
Cameron SmithAugust 24, 2013If a restaurant has burgurs, bendy straws, and corn nuggets in the same place it's a win in ky book. Great atmostphere and wonderful service.
Brunch is Sundays. You can't go wrong. Doors open at 11 and there is always a line so get there early.
Cara DeMoreJanuary 26, 2016Interesting selection! Their drinks were fun too. A must-visit if you're in Gainesville for a while.
Jams DMay 1, 2011Ride your fixie here, park it on the railing out front. Then get a couple of PBR tall boys at the bar before eating one of their myriad tempeh dishes. Go to the Atlantic afterward.
Matt WMay 31, 2012Incredible burgers, great pastas and vegetarian options. Get the sweet potato fries and/or the corn nuggets. Great food, great drinks.
Alexa PóoMarch 31, 2014Highly recommend the falafel burger for vegetarians or meat eaters alike! It's absolutely delicious.
#tacotuesdays and the amazing specials. Fantastic place to dine and walking distance to everything downtown.
Alex LoiaconoJuly 15, 2016Great burgers and drink selection. Nice relaxed laid back atmosphere and good wait staff!
Nellie NguyenMay 20, 2013get the corn nuggets + mushroom ravioli! my friend who lives there gets the veggie burger everytime and we're not even vegetarians...
Great food. Good atmosphere. One of the best places in Gainesville!
AadityaFebruary 15, 2014Really good ambience. Nachos were really delicious & then there is the booze :D
Mary Kate KeapplerJanuary 8, 2015Corn nuggets are pretty phenomenal. Waiter is a doll. The guy that seated us was less than pleasant.
Karnamohit RankaNovember 27, 2014Variety in vegetarian and vegan food is a pleasant change from most places!
If you're a party of less than 4 sit at the bar for dinner. Waiting for a table can take over an hour on a busy night.
I order the double satan Reuben sandwich & Corn nuggets. It's awesome!
CollegeCandyDecember 1, 2011Although they have a lot of vegan/veggie food, they also have food for us meat eaters who like to tear apart animals.
Blackened tofu melt with seitan bacon was a vegetarian dream
best corn nuggets in the world. and you must order the southwestern. oh and bottle of house wine is the best deal ever.
Leslie BandJanuary 8, 2011This place is one of the main reasons we tour through Gainesville. Hal, the owner, is the man and the food is insane good.
colleen dMarch 25, 2012Try the buffalo tempeh with vegan caesar — also perf with sweet potato fries.
CMC Apartments ManagerJune 18, 2012The Black Bean Burger and Corn Nuggets are definitely things to try!- Get the black bean cakes with salsa and grilled chicken. So good. Pork belly dish is veey fatty.
Sofia MDecember 6, 2011Omg I love love love this place! The drinks, food , and atmosphere are the SHit!!
The top is cool. If you like to wait twenny minutes to get the bartenders attention and be among hippity hipsters and ghosts of the past
Katharina ShrewerMay 13, 2013If you want to know what a REAL foodgasm feels like, order the Broccoli Alfredo.
really impressed with the food. also one of the hosts looks like christian hosoi
Mallory HartzDecember 10, 2011Ask for a hummingbird water. Woodchuck cider and raspberry liquor. Delish.

"The sea bass I had on a business dinner was fantastic! They go a bit heavy on the garlic (Caesar salad, flatbreads), but I know some garlic fanatics that love it."
