They were so friendly and very good service. We got our food on time. Food was hot and crispy. The beer was cold and it was buy one get one that was awesome. And they actually had a really good beer list. I enjoy the pretzel bites. They were soft but crispy nicely salted and I enjoyed it. My family got some of these food items as a midnight snack kind of thing. My sister really enjoyed the buffalo salad. My brother-in-law love quesadillas. And the beer hit the spot. There's plenty of parking there. I definitely recommend this place and I would definitely come back again, when I'm in town.

Our server, Liyah, was quick and knowledgeable. All drinks are 2 for 1 all day every day? She brought us each 2 beers.... They averaged 3.50$ per glass! And appetizers were also quick and good! We had pretzel bites and a French onion soup that was perfectly browned and cheesey! For dinner 2 of us got chicken sandwiches and 2 of us got the garlic butter smash burger... delish!!! Tots and sweet potato fries were both wonderful! During dinner, I developed the hiccups... our sever brought me a lime to try to get rid of them. I'd never heard of this but it worked!! Great meal, great atmosphere, amazing service!

The wings and fries were also solid, I'll be back and probably make this place one of my regular spots. Glad to have tried somewhere new, pleasant surprise & worth it. Great happy hour deals as well.

It wasn't busy(at first) but we still felt rushed. Ordered an app then we ordered entrees. After waiting a bit, he comes back and says there are no pasta dishes in the kitchen. Like wtf, I mean they didn't tell u when u brought the order to the kitchen? But then you bring out the extra side/ house salad that I ordered to go with the pasta. I didn't want it anymore .Fast forward, then this guy brings out the checks while I'm still eating. Like really? And then I was a little offended that he gave us 2 separate checks without asking.Whats funny is that Me and my best friend always try to pay for each other lol, so who told him to do separate checks. But I try not to assume... Now the food was just okay. Had the gator tail and it was salty. Then after "no pasta" I went with the summer salad. And I guess they were out of stuff for this too. It was missing the Blueberry and the apple. Guess they figure they would see if I noticed. Well I did notice, i was just over it, and was just too late complain. This place gave me No reason to come back

Fish and chips: crispy outside, doughy inside with barely any fish. Batter is heavy and dense. Nothing light about it at all. Cobb Salad: iceberg lettuce. Dry chicken. And I mean dryyyy. This salad just wasn't appealing. Eggs were mush. I just don't have anything nice to say. Water: yes. This too is bad. They definitely need to invest in a filtration system because water shouldn't have a flavor. This sums it up. Service was pleasant and the place clean. That gets a star each from me.

The air was cool and crisp, the sun was shining, altogether making a perfect opportunity to go for a motorcycle ride and find a new place to have some lunch. I had looked at the map, and found the Simmer Down Lakeside Grill on the map in Lake Butler. Seeing as there are only two or three other places to go for food in town, I went for it.. I figured a nice view of the lake while eating a burger or something might be nice. Sadly this was not the case, at least not for this visit. The bar room where the view of the water is was shut down, and only the large restaurant where the buffet was served was available. No view of the water... just a venetian blind obscured view of the playground in Lakeside Park. I went for the buffet anyway, since I had already come this far and wanted to taste the food. It was your typical Southern comfort food... fried chicken (not bad), smoked sausage (also not bad), meatloaf (good, but I haven't had it in a while, so my opinion may be biased), mashed potatoes, corn, rice, etc. The mashed potatoes were a bit odd, because when I poured some gravy on them, they instantly soaked up the gravy which is not an effect I am accustomed to. The food isn't bad. It's not great, but it isn't bad. It fills the stomach and quells hunger. About halfway through my meal, they ran out of fried chicken and decided to switch over to chicken fingers... so I tried one. This was definitely a poor choice... better to just leave it off the menu at that point and go over to some other protein... I noted that as I was leaving, they were putting out pork chops, which would have been a nice thing to try as well. I would love to try the ala carte menu at some point, but only if the other half of the restaurant is open and you can see the water. That is one of their biggest selling points, and they aren't using it! An outdoor porch overlooking the water would also be nice.

I was so excited to learn we had a breakfast buffet in town So being a girl who enjoys food I…read moreheaded on down to Simmer Down to try it out. Upon arriving I walked in to find it empty of customer which I thought hey great I get the place to myself. I was greeted quickly and seated. Our waitress took our drink order and brought us cream for coffee and jelly fro toast. Then left. We didn't see her again till she brought our check 30 minutes later. No checking on us to see if we needed anything like condiments or a refill of coffee. When she finally brought out check we were able to get a refill. So service not the best. Atsomshehere of the place was great. It was clean, well-stocked and the decor inviting. Plus where we sat we had a view of the lake and the park. The food on the buffet was hot but way overcooked. The biscuits were hard that you couldn't bite into them. the toast was cold. The pastry we're good as they were store-bought. Hashbrowns were so overcooked there were no potatoes in then just hard greasy bots. Bacon, sausage, eggs and sausage gravy were good. Grits were okay. Overall not a huge selection of foo. No fresh fruit or pancakes or waffles. They had cereal but no milk. I will say for a buffet price was good at 8.99 a person but the selection was limited and food way overcooked.

On top of that the waitress, an older lady, said would you like that with garlic nan bread or regular. I said garlic, thinking the nan bread came with it like in traditional Indian food restaurants. Well when the bill came, it was a 3.99 up charge. In total it was 32$ for a subpar Indian dish. If I would have paid 14.99 it's more acceptable. Also, the pieces of chicken were small, almost like diced instead of bigger chunks. See pictures. The curry sauce is what made it. But other than that I'll go for a burger if I ever comeback

The service was the highlight of the visit--the bartenders were genuinely friendly, attentive, and made me feel welcome. That's the main reason I'm giving this place two stars. The food, however, was disappointing. I ordered my burger medium, but it arrived raw in the center. The onion rings were overly greasy with a heavy, unimpressive batter. After reading other reviews, I noticed someone else had a similar experience with the patty melt, so my meal may not have been an isolated issue. The atmosphere wasn't for me either. It feels much more like a neighborhood dive bar than a restaurant, with multiple TVs, loud music, constant chatter, and live entertainment outside all competing at once. If you're looking for a lively sports bar where you can watch a game, have a drink, and socialize, this may be exactly what you're after. I prefer a quieter, more relaxed dining experience, so it simply wasn't a good fit. The restaurant also has a dog-friendly patio, which many people enjoy, though it's not something I personally look for when dining out. Overall, I think Norton's has a loyal local following, and I can understand why some people enjoy the casual bar atmosphere. For me, though, the combination of the underwhelming food and the very loud environment means I won't be returning. The staff deserved better than the meal they were serving, because their friendliness and service were the best part of the visit.

I have eaten from a few food trucks in this location and Gainesville always seems to get the best food trucks for breweries. This time it was Arepa Burger, but I have had Twisted Tikka and Chefries on other trips. I will definitely return when I am heading down this way again.
