    I chose this place based on the ratings and ordered the Wayne Head Special. Unfortunately, it was…read morevery disappointing. The food tasted like it had been sitting around and was simply reheated, and it seemed like it was cooked in old, dirty grease. The burger was hot, but it was also extremely soggy. I'm giving it 2 stars only because the food was served hot. Maybe this place used to be good, but my experience was far from it. It's already hard enough to find good food in Gainesville, so I expected much better. I hope they improve their quality.

    I had the opportunity to go to Wayne Head's place out on Waldo Rd recently, and to say that I was…read morepleasantly surprised by the whole experience is possibly understated. When approaching the place, you are thinking "oh, just another food truck". Well, that isn't the truth... their food is much more varied than most food trucks, and with the addition of porch seating it is a worthwhile experience. I went for the burger and shrimp combo platter that they have. I know, this is not a combination that you see anywhere else, but I definitely enjoyed it. However, I did find that platter to be somewhat messy. The burger was very much on the sloppy side, and with the shrimp next to it it made for some messy eating. Enjoyable eating, but messy. They are just down the road for me when I am at work, so I will definitely be returning. The East side of town needs more places that can provide food of this caliber!

    I'm a non-native and I feel like I'm the last person in Gainesville to find out about this place…read more I've noticed they have quite a few regulars and they stay busy for a reason! Everything that I've ordered from Xclusive Eatz has been phenomenal. Every time we order food I end up cleaning my plate. It reminds me of a home cooked meal. Here's what we've tried from the menu: -Wings (x10) -Mac and cheese (the best I've had in Gainesville, hands down) -Potato salad -Baked beans -Green beans -Garlic potatoes -Fried okra -Sweet potato pound cake (AMAZING!) -Cream cheese pound cake Customer service: I've been here about 5 times now, and the cashier is always pleasant. This looks like a family-owned business and the two women serving the food are friendly, even when I get to asking my questions about the specials and when they're going to bring back the sweet potato pound cake. (Lol) My order always comes out correct and they provide napkins and cutlery without fail. The food is full of flavor and the portions don't miss. Parking: They have a private parking lot with plenty of spots, but it does fill up fast. I've noticed that people are constantly coming and going, so usually when I arrive there's one or two people leaving so it's easy to find a spot. We love this place and highly recommend stopping by! It's absolutely worth the drive.

    All Food is fresh and very tasty. The service is good, prices are…read moredecent you get what you pay for and a little more. The Macaroni and Cheese is excellent, the shrimp are off the chain, Smothered Pork Chop and Gravy are the bomb. Go Check it out you will be glad you did.
