We had some long time friends come down with us as well. Our first stop on our Gainesville Adventure was here! I ordered the #9. Tony Montana Cubano. I have to say I've had many Cuban sandwich's before but this Cuban sandwich was the BEST! I love the flavor of seasoned pork they use as well as the Boars Head Meat. I do believe all those makes the difference. If you like Cuban sandwich's you must try this one. Also our friends with us ordered the #12 Uncle Drew Monte Cristo and shared and they loved it! All the staff were super friendly! It took about 10 minutes for us to get our sandwich's. Everything was clean and well kept. Definitely recommend The Paper Bag!

Excellent food! Excellent customer service. A unique menu…read moreof sandwiches you won't find anywhere else. I had the daily special, which i knew what i was getting based on what was at the register, however they made me the surprise (Vegas) by accident... and then made the correct sandwich without a hesitation. Not sure what i had, looked like a Cuban mixed with something else, it too was fabulous! The whole family enjoyed their selection. Will def come back another time!

My friend and I met after we parked our bikes. She was sitting outside, and as I was locking my bike, less than a block away, she texted me. I just walked to her without responding, and with a smile and a hug, we walked in to look at the menu. The sandwiches have some very creative names that go along with their creative construction. I got a #10, which was a fusion of French dip and Philly cheese!! I wanna buy the person a beer, whoever thought of that one! Even though it was busy, we didn't wait long to order. Every sandwich comes in a paper bag, so you can take it out or stay and munch. We got a combo with chips and a drink, because how else do you eat a big sandwich like this?! There are board games to play, decor that is not typical and a big display of Guy Fieri, from the Food Network, that lets you know this place is on America's culinary map. After the sandwiches were done, I brought them out to my friend Kimberly, who was saving our table. We both were hungry, so out of the wrap and in with the teeth. Mine was full of flavor and the fact that all the sandwiches are heat-pressed, made the texture very satisfying. The au jus was thick and delicious and made me think someone took great time and effort to make it. It is a casual restaurant, great for a date or a group of friends, or a solo quick lunch, that can also be a dinner as well. The food is somewhat pricey, but it delivers as a good meal with a creative touch. They could have emptied the garbage can more quickly, as it was more than overflowing, when I went to throw the garbage away. Memorable food, and makes me want to come back to try at least two other sandwiches that I read about.

This place tastes like Chipotle if Chipotle visited Flavortown and married a chef that actually gave a sh*t about the quality of their food and sauces and then they had a baby and named it Fresh Kitchen or FK for short. Lots of really excellent bowls here. Can't go wrong with a tender medium rare steak bowl with veggies. If the menu is overwelming or you're not sure what goes together, just ask the staff- they're very helpful. Looking forward to coming back soon when I'm in the area! FK yeah!

The parking was real easy, walked right in a couple of people ahead of us. told them wI hadn't eaten here before I needed some help with the menu and ordering. We both over did it ordering on our bowls. Definitely had too much food in it and the mixture,. I don't know if there were the kind of foods that would go together well in a bowl. Chicken was good, sweet potatoes are good. I didn't really like the noodles too much. The sauce that I put on top was good. Overall, it's was ok, the music was kinda loud in there. We opted to sit inside , outside would probably be a better thing to do if you're looking for a little bit of peace and quiet. It's something different to try, can check it off my list now.

Sounds pricey but my wife and I spit it and still had some leftovers. Also, this might seem a bit off topic but this place has some of the best fries. Great seasoning. My platter came with a generous portion of gyro meat, and the side salad was nicely prepared. If you haven't tried this place and you like a good gyro, drop by, you won't be disappointed.

Following a visit to the sprawling UF campus, my wife and I decided to try out The Spot for lunch…read more Located in a building housing other eateries and with limited "free" parking, we parked in the parking structure in the same building. As it was summer break, a lot of the other businesses in the building were closed (Vietnamese and Italian restaurant as well as a boba place). The place looks like it was being run by a hardworking couple. We checked out the menu and my wife ordered the Gyro Platter and I ordered the Souvlaki Platter. We also ordered a couple of fountain drinks. The gyro meat was well seasoned and tender. The Greek salad was quite good. The chicken souvlaki, however, seemed to lack flavor and a bit dry. Portions were quite generous and the value was there. We actually packed our leftovers for some quesadillas later. If we do go back, I would order the gyro instead of the chicken souvlaki. NOTE: They don't validate parking which was $3 for an hour

The location is prime and I love grabbing lunch here during the week. It is kept fairly clean and they usually don't run out of things. The service is friendly as well. There have been a couple of instances where I haven't had to pay an up-charge for steak or avocado. One time I wasn't even charged for my bowl at the checkout. This is a pretty standard Cava location, with similar (if not the same) menus as all their other locations. Some of my favorites are the customized greens and grains bowls as well as the pita chips as of late! I do enjoy coming here and look forward to more visits.

My wraps have either fallen apart or the salads are just over saturated with dressing. If I ever do go back I'd ask for the dressing on the side for sure. The customer service needs some improvement. The employees don't greet you and give you borderline attitude. It's also very messy. All the ingredients are all over the counters and mixed up with each other because they just toss everything around. They don't clean the counters it just doesn't look appetizing when you can see it all through the glass. It is the "healthiest" place in this little plaza but, the customer service and the way they make their food kills it for me.
