Lots of seating for big parties, the service was decently fast, and the food was pretty yummy. Would recommend their omelettes as I've had a couple of them, and their traditional breakfast with pancakes, eggs and bacon. I'm only deducting 1 star because I don't think this is the BEST breakfast place in Gainesville BUT it is still a solid choice! It deli(vered)

The restaurant was busy but we didn't have to wait too long to be seated and there was plenty of…read morespace to comfortably wait outside. The interior was cute and our table was clean. The coffee was good and the food tasted great. There was an issue with our order and it took a very long time to get our food. Even the server was confused why the other tables that ordered after us got theirs before us. Once we were done eating we sat at an empty table as the busboy offered to take away our plates and cups as we continued to wait on our check. A different server dropped the check at our table and someone else finally came by and took our money. We will still try again at a future date since the food itself was so good and hope for a better overall experience.

Happened to come across this place while I was doing the 6th Street Rail Trail to Alachua Lake…read moreOverlook with my wife! We had passed this place on the way to the lake and it seemed interesting, so I kept it on my short list of places to check out for lunch on the way back. It turns out it was the perfect fit after what ultimately proved to be a 14-mile trek! The place is located just off the main road and has a quaint feel to it with two dining rooms and a counter. Much like my other recent review, SweetBerries serves your standard lunch fare and also specializes in custard. As such, it served as perfect-pick-me-up on a day where the heat index was at 105F! You order what you'd like at the counter and a server will bring your food when it's ready. The establishment has fountains available for drinks. Staff was friendly and helpful throughout the experience. We got the SweetBerries Sunset custard with fresh fruit to share between the two of us, and wound up being the perfect frozen treat to get us back to the truck. Unlike her, I was also looking for an actual meal, so i chose to order the Chicken Salad on a croissant with mac salad. While the mac salad was simply ok, but flavor of the buttery croissant elevated quality the light and refreshing meal. If you find yourself in Gainesville with time for lunch or sweet treat, give this place a shot!

I tried the Hot Chick sandwich at SweetBerries and I'm still thinking about it. Their signature…read morechicken salad on toasted sourdough already sounded good, but the way they executed it was on another level. The bread was grilled perfectly, buttery, golden, and exactly the kind of crisp I love. The flavors were unreal. The crispy bacon added that salty, smoky crunch that hits immediately, the muenster cheese brought this smooth, melty richness, and the sweet onion and carrots added the perfect fresh bite. But the real surprise was the honey mustard. I'm a honey mustard lover, but I was honestly skeptical about how much they'd use or whether it would overpower everything. Instead, it was beautifully balanced, but just the right amount of sweetness to bounce off the savory bacon, the creamy chicken salad, and the buttery toast. Every flavor complemented the next, and it all came together in a way that genuinely surprised me. It ended up being one of the most amazing sandwiches I've ever had. I was mesmerized from the first bite to the last. SweetBerries really nailed this one.

First thought was they were a bbq joint for whatever reason but no, they do wings and burgers, chix and fish handhelds here. Interesting sides too. And they're decent enough. Burger of the month was delicious and ridiculous. So big I ended up having the rest of it for breakfast yo!! Fish was good. Buffalo chix sammy was good enough. Sides were okay. Onion rangs were good. Slaw was nice; crunchy delicious. Pickle slivers weren't my favorite, sad flaccid ones with too much breading to pickle ratio to be good ...but that's a me thing I guess. Overall, not too bad. Easy to see why people like them, they're a value too. Prices are somewhere closer to fast food than casual dining. Nice!!!

People talk highly of woodland's burgers, and they did not disappoint. The burger was amazing, corn nuggets were good too. Very clean has been open about three weeks, I believe. Very friendly staff. For a small town like Archer, this definitely is a good thing, and there's a short drive from gainesville, and so worth it. We will be back out here soon.

I can't believe it took me so long to write this review. Honestly I wanted to give one star but I…read moreadded one bc my bf enjoys this place and enjoyed his food. I on the other hand, not so much. So for starters, this was my first time here. I had heard mixed reviews but ultimately it's a Gainesville staple. We decided to go for breakfast one morning and naturally I looked at the menu before I went. Okay so it is an old, local eatery. I mean really old. The speakers to order are so worn and honestly easy to miss. I had no idea they were even there. I had to back up because I drove right by. And then you're practically having to yell to order, or at least that was my experience. They cook to order so once I ordered I waited maybe 10 minutes at the window. The customer service also wasn't the best I'll add. My order ended up being wrong which just made matters worse. One thing to note is the entire menu is served the whole time they're open. Will I try it again? Maybe. It is pretty pricey and so far I'm not convinced you get what you pay for.

It is the same folks inside, the same food, and the same experience... which is excellence. This place has become a local favorite, and there is a vibe of familiarity between the staff and the customers that you don't see in chain restaurants. If you are looking for a local place that caters to the region, this should definitely be on your list!

I went with a friend and funny enough this time I went with the same friend. I noticed their menu changed in a good way and they have some great offerings. The menu has a great variety, and I went with the regular Korean breakfast (Korean rice platter). It choose bulgogi as my protein, and it came with rice, a perfectly cooked egg, a fresh side salad, and even a small chicken wing. The flavors were spot on, especially the bulgogi, which was tender and well-seasoned. I split it with my friend and got hash browns and an extra egg for her. It was enough to fill us both granted we also had matcha on the way there. Generous portion for sure for us. Service was friendly and efficient, though the small space can fill up quickly, so plan accordingly. Overall, a great place for a hearty, flavorful meal. Would definitely come back!

The burger was so small; a "quarter pound burger,"yeah, maybe before it was way over cooked and definitely, severely over priced. Should have just gone to Dick Mondell's on the other side of town and just waited in their line. At least then I wouldn't have left a restaurant still hungry after spending $20 for just me. It would have been $30 if I would have built the burger I really wanted. At least the music was ok.

My wife and I have eaten many times at Hurricane BTW. My wife loves the cranberry chicken salad…read moreand I like the boneless wings. Usually everything is wonderful. On our latest visit my wife wanted some extra dressing for her salad. The server said the it would be an extra 50 cents. Since when does a restaurant charge for extra dressing. It is a big salad and she felt it just needed a bit more than the little cup that came with it. In addition, a lot of the lettuce in the salad was wilted and brown as if it was old. When we told the server she said she would tell the kitchen staff. Normally, we love the restaurant and would give it 5 stars, but can't do it based on how cheap they are with the dressing and the brown lettuce. Service however was very good.

I have to say, up front, that they don't take credit cards as payment, but they do take Venmo or Zelle, so be prepared, or bring cash! The food is very down-home. It tastes just like it does when you are eating in your pajamas on Saturday morning! The decor is very eclectic and interesting. There are books, art and nick-nacks throughout the restaurant and even in the courtyard. The courtyard is special (see pictures) It would be perfect for you and your out-of-town guests to come and eat and hang out in peace, enjoying a lovely place to eat! Friendly staff, chill vibes!

We both ordered waffles for breakfast, and I went for the blueberry ones with eggs and potatoes on the side. Everything was spot on. The potatoes were perfect, soft on the inside, crispy on the outside, seasoned so well they were borderline addictive. And the eggs? Fluffy, light, and cooked the way eggs should be. I'm so used to getting overcooked eggs at other places, so having them done right felt like a treat. The waffles were the star though. Crunchy exterior, soft warm center, and real blueberries in every bite. Absolutely delicious. Service was just as impressive. Our server was kind, attentive, and made the whole experience even better without ever hovering. Overall, East End Eatery easily earned this five-star rating. I had this on my must visit list of places in Gainesville and it did not disappoint. A must-visit breakfast spot in Gainesville,I'll definitely be back.

Just be aware that there's very limited outdoor seating, so you may be standing around and eating. But there's charm doing that at an old school burger joint, so I'm cool with that :)
