    Ham, prosciutto and pepperoni.

    Great local place for subs with a pub atmosphere. I've only gotten the sandwiches here but they stand out from the crowd of your usual suspect chain sub places like subway and Jimmy John's. This would also be a great place to grab a beer and watch and game if you're in the middle for that. The sandwiches are fresh with the meat sliced when you order the sandwich. This is a cash only place so be aware of that. There is an atm if you don't have cash on hand. Definitely worth a try if you're in the area for lunch and in the mode for a sandwich. I recommend getting the sandwich toasted, but there is an option to get it cold.

    These are some seriously good sandwiches! Gainesville's hidden gem. Family run since 1983. Super casual with a few tables inside and a bar in the back. Lunch time gets crowded so plan accordingly. Deli meat and all the ingredients are so fresh and sandwiches are made to order, so you may have to wait...trust me...it is so worth it! Cash only, no credit cards.

    I have no idea how Hogan's is only a 4.1... this is the best place ever! Best all time sandwiches, best beer selection. Visit the bomb shelter... you won't regret it. Cash only. Locals place. Been going to hogans for close to 30 years, as a student and now every time we are back in Gville.

    The #1, best sandwich ever!

    Honestly, the best sub sandwiches around! Yes, it is a cash only place. Yes, having each individual sandwich made to order can be a slow process. And yes, this place will not win awards for fine dining establishment for its ambiance or decor. But it will always win best sandwich around in my book. Every sandwich is so generously stuffed with meat and cheese, to the point of bursting through the bread and the butcher paper keeping everything together. The condiments, meat, cheese, and veg work so well together. If you want something quick, go to Subway. But if you want something epic and delicious, go to Hogan's. It is, and always will be, worth the wait. Keep up the good work! :)

    One of the most fresh sandwiches I have ever had. The bread was soft, the veggies were fresh, cheese and meats are sliced thin and STACKED. Prices are unbelievably reasonable. This is a CASH or local check establishment only. The line is slow moving, if you are in a hurry I recommend calling your order in. Drink refills are $1 each.

    Ham and Turkey special came with a side and a drink for $8!

    Not much to look at from the outside, but inside they are serving up some killer sandwiches at pretty reasonable prices. I stopped in for lunch and got the lunch special which was ham and turkey on a hoagie with a side and drink for $8! The meat on my sandwich was piled high, great deal and it was delicious too!! Would definitely recommend. This is a cash only establishment!

    This sandwich spot was so delicious. I am big on sandwiches. They did not shy on the meat that they placed on the sandwich and was super hearty. The ambiance of Hogans gave an old school hope in the wall feel which I love! I think that the service could have been a bit more friendly but really enjoyed my sandwich.

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.

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

So yeah, expectations were not exactly low. I pulled up and kept it simple. Cheeseburger, fries, large iced tea. No need to get cute when you're dealing with a place that's been doing one thing longer than most people have had careers. Let's start with the burger, because wow. This thing absolutely delivers. Cooked to order, juicy, perfectly seasoned, and hits that sweet spot where you take a bite and immediately understand why people won't shut up about it. Five out of five, no notes, no complaints. This is the kind of burger that makes you question every overpriced, overbuilt "gourmet" burger you've ever had. This is how it's supposed to be done. And then... the fries showed up. Hot? Yes. Fresh? Seemed like it. But somehow they pulled off the impressive trick of being both hot and soggy at the same time. It's like they skipped the part where fries are supposed to have texture. Total letdown, especially sitting next to a burger that's basically winning awards in my head. The iced tea did its job. No drama there. So here's where I land. The burger alone is worth the trip. It lives up to the legend, no exaggeration. But those fries dragged the whole experience down just enough to knock it to four stars. Mac's is this close to perfection. Fix the fries, and we're not even having a conversation. Right now, it's a legendary burger with a side of "what happened here?"

This time I got a kraut dog (I didn't share). I wanted all of that warm tangy deliciousness to myself! I also tried their smash burger. Yes, yes, everyone has their signature burger...but folks...I'm going to say something here that speaks to only the burger aficionados out there...y'all know who you are. My people. The person that goes to a fancy restaurant and while everyone else is ordering the shrimp or ribs or a steak and you're ordering a burger. You know who you are and I'm one of you. This burger literally BLEW my mind. I've tried other smash burgers, but this one was actually executed PERFECTLY. What is the difference? A true "smash" burger is done just that way on the grill so that every crack, every crevice on that grill gets crispy and delicious. And the bread they use here? Soft and pillowy with just the right amount of give and chew. They literally toast the inside of EVERY bun! And not that little tiny throw onto the grill for a second or two...that nice hard grill that makes the butter hard crisp the bread so you get that crunch inside with the nice pillow outside. Shred the lettuce so it's on every bite and not falling out before you take those bites. Perfection. Added some Big Mill's sauce and wow. Just plain yellow American cheese is fine with me. I'm no cheese snob. Next time? I'm definitely enjoying a double. Just wanted to try the entire kraut dog for myself. Worth it. That grill crisped bun on the dog was soooo good. I want it on a double smashburger next time! The staff comes and checks with you and brings you your food when ready. Asks if everything was okay and if you need any sauces or utensils. That is so surprising every time to me. Well worth every single penny I've spent here. The attention to exact details and the comfort and hominess this place exudes along with the selection of awesome 60s and early 70s music (which is exactly from my era) they play is the reason we'll keep coming back over and over again. It's also why this little place is packed on a miserable Sunday afternoon. I'm so glad I went here at the behest of my hubby or I would've missed out on my new favorite burger place!

I entered the restaurant at 9:15 am with my guest and were seated promptly. Our server proceeded with our drink order in which we requested a vanilla and brown sugar iced latte and lemonade. My vanilla and brown sugar latte was made well and was quite refreshing. The lemonade was a bit sweet but overall a good beverage. However, as our experience continued it became a bit of a let down. We ordered the Dutch baby with seasonal fruit, the big break, a cinnamon roll, and the afternoon hash. From time of placing the order to receiving our food was an overall total of 45 minutes. A bit of a long wait for breakfast/brunch style items. The cinnamon roll was not done well whatsoever, the roll itself was over kneaded which created a thick and heavy dough. Not the fluffy type of cinnamon roll you would expect. When our food did come out the Dutch baby was partly burnt, it did not taste as such but it was a bit flat in regard to taste. The potatoes in the hash and the big break were burnt. I wouldn't consider it crispy because they were so overcooked I could barely get my fork to go through. The taste of the hollandaise did redeem the dish a tad, however for $90 including tip it was not the dining experience I would come back to.
