This place is a very exceptional restaurant! I mean, if you make your own pasta and have lion's mane mushrooms on the menu, I bet even the water tastes better here! Better still, they promote art and artists! On the walls of the Bingo Deli is Celino Dimitroff's amazing art! The pieces are for sale and Celino is a Gainesville gem, so if you have some space in your abode that needs a spark of light, swing by here and just look at Celino's amazing visions! read more

Been wanting to try this place for a while and finally made plans to go for date night. Settled on the shrimp roll as it had been featured in DDD's and wasn't super impressed. While it definitely had some flavor it was mostly bread and a spoonful of shrimp. Since both "rolls" were quite small I was still hungry after since there was no side even though it was priced at $16. Would give another try but most likely wouldn't order this again. read more

Cute little place in one of the old depot buildings on S Main Street. The outside deck is nice and shaded, providing a nice area in rain or shine. We were there on a quiet afternoon, but the parking seems plentiful which is a nice benefit for downtown places. The menu is not long, but has a good selection of salads, sandwiches and entrees. I love the fish tacos straight away for not using the ubiquitous catfish or tilapia crutch, and have a well seasoned white fish. The braised beef shoulder sandwich is a large portion on a toasted roll. It had a little too much in it for my taste, with the meat competing with pickled vegetables and tufts of dill. Fewer rivaling tastes I think would have been better. Both shrimp dishes were excellent - the shrimp and grits, and the shrimp roll were really well seasoned and the shrimp were cooked perfectly. It's great to have a place like this in the neighborhood, tucked away in an Old Gainesville building. read more

Bingo Deli & Pub - Braised beef sandwich, and shrimp and grits - Delis Near Me - Gainesville, Florida

The absolute cutest restaurant in the depot park area! I can't believe we haven't discovered this before! The menu has many choices and they all sounded so good! You've got many options that are not your typical run of the mill American restaurant menu and we honestly wanted to get one of each. The portions were not the largest but we were full quickly. Order at the counter and the food is brought to your table. Highly recommend the tagliatelle, ravioli, and spicy tofu sandwich! The ambiance and decor is what truly made the experience - there's such a homely feel! Parking is easy and available outside. read more

We went for dinner and we were seated promptly. The ambiance is very nice. We ordered at the counter- I had the shrimp sandwich and it was really good. The rest of the entrees looked good as well. For dessert we shared the creme brûlée. I'd definitely recommend this place for dinner. read more

Driving down South Main Street in Gainesville, you might miss this little hole-in-the-wall restaurant and bar. Bingo Deli & Pub is tucked inside South Main Station and I never realize that it and a few other restaurants and breweries sit inside this old building. There is seating inside and out, plus Depot Park is literally across the street so you could even get your food to go if you want to take a stroll. I went with some friends and ordered the spicy shrimp rolls, which were two grilled rolls stuffed with poached shrimp, pickled jalapeño and carrot, radish, scallion, with a paprika aioli. You pay at the register and then your food is brought out by the staff. For some reason, my order took 30-45 minutes to make, which seemed a little long considering the restaurant was not busy at all. Taste-wise, the buttery roll was perfectly crispy and the pickled vegetables provided a zing of flavor to go with the shrimp. Portion size was okay for $16. Overall Bingo Deli & Pub has a nice atmosphere and an eclectic menu. Don't drive by South Main Station without checking it out. read more

It's great to have a new local restaurant in town! Located in the complex with Heartwood Soundstage the deli offers an eclectic array of menu items. We tried the shaved beef sandwich, the pork loin sandwich, the sweet potato leak soup, two of the sides, and and the cheesecake to finish it off. Standouts were definitely the leak soup. It's creamy but not incredibly heavy and the almonds give it a delightful crunch. I would rate both of the sandwiches a 4.5. I'm a bread person but if you don't like a lot of bread then these sandwiches might be a bit too thick for you. Also the pickled onion really does bring out the flavor of the meats so I would ask for it on the pork loin sandwich. For the sides, the potatoes were excellently seasoned and tasty and the kraut was okay too. The cheesecake was pretty good--a nice serving for the price and for the size, you can probably share it. We did. I liked the sea salt and was thankful that the dish wasn't overly sweet. There's plenty of seating inside and there are several tables outside, so you can be accommodated at your comfort level. read more

Best place for a date night, or catching up with an old friend, or meeting up with a group of friends! Just blocks away from the hustle and bustle of downtown Gainesville. Parking always seems like a breeze. My only complaint is that it's hard to select what to have for dinner. The homemade pasta dishes are fantastic. The salads are unique and fresh, tonight I had the spicy shrimp roll and it was amazing. My husband enjoyed the soup and the shaved beef sandwich to dunk in the soup. The wine selection is very nice and very reasonable. The desserts are always to die for and tonight I enjoyed the decadent chocolate mousse paired with a glass of red wine. I love the vibe there. The monthly local art display is always interesting to check out as well. Go to Bingi you won't regret it read more

I LOVE eating the food here. It's just delicious. I don't know how else to put it. I love hyper-fresh food prepared in creative and delicious ways, and in my opinion, Bingo does that better than anyone else in GNV. Their cocktails don't disappoint, either. read more

I was passing through Gainesville and stopped by Bingo Deli! I got the famous shrimp roll and the Walker's family recipe potato salad! They were absolutely amazing and the service is great! The decor is a fusion of modern and vintage, which I absolutely love! read more

We had high expectations from seeing this establishment on Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives. We went for lunch on a Sunday arriving around 1 pm. It was not overly crowded. We waited an hour for our food to come out. Our daughter had an engagement at 2:00 pm and had to eat half her lunch quickly and take the rest with her. I had a bowl with shredded pork. There was very little pork in the bowl which cost $16. I can safely say we will not return. read more

My entire party was served and finished their meals when I was finally given my chicken melt. They offered no apology and made no effort to make me better. I will never return. read more

Our first visit based on word of mouth lived up to the hype. The restaurant has all the important components for delicious dining. Fun menu YES Something for everyone including two vegetarians YES Tough to decide what to try YES Full bar including Jarritos choices plus wait for it RC Cola YES Top-notch service YES But this is the reason for the glowing review and why we plan to return to driving 55 miles each way to eat at Bingo - We made a mistake - one of us did not realize the Florida Black Drum is a native fish, they thought they ordered a veggie dish featuring a baked potato. The staff realized the mistake offered menu options and swapped out the fish dish for a veggie dish. Instead of charging for both dishes they credited the fish dish and charged for the veggie dish without asking. The staff could not be any nicer which should not be a rarity but sadly it is all too common as the industry rebounds from Covid. Bingo Deli is our new favorite dining spot even if we need to drive 110 miles round trip! read more

Quite easily the best food in Gainesville, bar none. If you are a foodie or a gourmand you MUST eat here. There is nothing on the menus short of very good and most dishes are excellent! The service is nice and the ambience very comfortable. We've made it our Friday date night regular destination. read more

Not enough help very $$$& not worth the wait service is poor 1waitress for the whole restaurant never been a a bar where you can't get a Bloody Mary read more

Atmosphere is great, service is great, but food is mid at best. Ordered a herb salad that was a decent size, but not great in flavor. The dressing was bland and it had large clumps of bitter mint in it that threw everything off. The spicy shrimp roll was also ice cold. I'm not sure if that's how it usually comes, but it was gross. It was also pricy for what you get. I will probably not return for dinner read more

Fantastic every time we visit. Bingo Deli is our new "spot." The tagliatelli with Lion' Mane mushrooms is perfect. Katy and the rest of the service folks keep us smiling and we love the changing art! Beautiful use of the space. read more

We have never had a bad meal! It's our new "special celebration" place since we don't go out often. The Lion's Mane Mushrooms over fresh Tagliatelle is AMAZING! The desserts are always good too--you can't go wrong with the Creme Brule or Mini Cheesecake. The decor is cool and love the ever-changing art on the walls. You never know what up-and-coming or well-established artist's works you'll see. read more

The ambiance is so nice and cozy. They have a front and back porch too. It's covered so if you want to sit outside when it's raining you can! Bring your doggy. Inside the bar and seating is so nice. The food is made to order and so very delicious! You pay at the counter or bar. The drinks are so tasty too. read more

I went there to try their pasta. Apparently they are one of maybe two places in this town that actually makes their own pasta. However it was cold and it was tough and there was not nearly enough food for a $16 vegetarian pasta dish. It also had very little of anything that one could think of as a sauce. It was supposed to have some sort of brown butter or something like that, but the dish was pretty dry. they also don't serve iced tea. I guess if you don't want beer or wine you have to pick a canned or bottled item from the cooler. I wanted very much to like this place, and I may try it again. Hopefully I'll be happier next time. read more

Terrific food and atmosphere in a cool spot near Depot and Heartwood Sound Stage. A great place to sit on porch and listen to music, meet up with your mates for a drink, or have a special date night. Must go!!! read more

Tucked away off S. Main Street, this little gem is one of my new favorite spots! The space is so chill and relaxing. Friendliest service from Sarah who gave some awesome recommendations. Charcuterie could easily be the only thing you eat but we were gluttonous so also ordered spicy shrimp rolls (with spicy on the side because I'm a wimp and it stayed on the side) plus shaved beef which was huge and tasty! House made pickles were yum. Came home with one of the shrimp rolls and am looking forward to reliving the experience. Beer and cider options were plentiful and very reasonably priced. Quiet on a Wednesday evening. Go. You won't be disappointed! read more

The shrimp sandwich is so good And plenty of outdoor covered seating. Such a great looking space read more

Place is nice, service was good, and the food was tasty. The shaved beef sandwich was solid but the pasta portion was laughable and I would need to order at least 2 to not starve. read more

too expensive. no sides with sandwiches. taste was good but not enough to warrant the pricing. Servers were really nice and their timing was normal but just not enough food read more

I really like the atmosphere and quality of the food they make at Bingo deli, it's the only decent deli in Gainesville. I'm willing to pay the absurd amount of $16 for a sandwich but I am extremely disappointed in the 3 bites of pasta they give you for $16... I get inflation is at an all time high but come on... I would've had to order 3 orders to feel full. Unfortunate because it tasted great! read more

Food is tasty but portions are smaller than they should be. I ordered the tagliatelle pasta for $15 (which doesn't include meat of any kind) and left hungry. Could have easily eaten twice the amount they give you. read more

Wow is all I can say about the Bingo Deli on S Main! The most delicious spicy shrimp rolls EVER! Perfect grilled soft delicious rolls with plenty of shrimp and just the right amount of scallion, celery, jalapeño, sprouts and spices! They make it to order, so they will customize to your liking. We paired that with ice cold Pacifico beers. Yum and we will be back often! Very friendly staff and all the food looks delish! read more

Spectacular food, the chef is a true artist. The compound of flavors and obvious attention to detail, in every aspect of the dish, made for an incredible dining experience. Would highly recommend to anyone in search of a high quality meal in Gainesville. read more
