    The mushroom Swiss burger was greasy. The cheese on the truffle cheese fries appears to just be melted cheddar and was not a good match. The BLT was too much arugula and the sauce was overpowering. What did I just pay $33, the kids grilled cheese or the 20 minute wait?

    May be the strangest place I have ever eaten. It would be hard to miss because from the outside it looks nothing like a restaurant. The main dining area looks like a city council meeting room. For entertainment they have an old movie on a big projection screen. I waited too long to eat lunch so I was starving to the point of death (I'm very dramatic). I could not decide on what to eat and told them to surprise me. I do this a lot with different reactions. The chef seemed pumped so I knew I was going to get something good. He gave me the spicy chicken and it did not disappoint. Big piece of fried chicken, green fried tomato, with a spicy sauce. It was awesome. You could tell these guys are foodies who are also very quirky. I will be back!

    Amazing homemade food!! The chicken tenders are addictive.. Handcrafted sauces & sides make it a one of a kind stop. The staff is super friendly & always make you feel at home..

    Happy people making amazing food in a cool lunch hang out spot? Totally outside the box...a roasted beet burger on Momo bread with sweet potato fries, and a perfectly grilled beef patty with green salsa and guacamole, um yes please! We will be back.

    The food here is great! I got the Pork-etta and fries. Everything here is house made and cooked to order! One of my new favorite lunch spots!

    The BLT with fried green tomatoes was amazing. You could pass right by this place if you're not careful. Worth the hunt.

    This is one of the best restaurants in Gainesville by far. The food is amazing and Mark, the owner, is a great guy.

A variety of proteins and toppings to choose from. Vegan friendly, which is my fave! Build your own bowl. Wild rice, romaine lettuce, black and pinto beans. Tofu for the protein (cooked fresh and was delectable!). 4 toppings are included. I chose chickpeas, cucumbers, beets and cabbage. Bought 2 additional - edamame and black olives. Chipotle dressing (it's vegan!). This bowl was perfect! You can they use fresh ingredients that are high quality. I love with places have vegan options that they take the time to make delicious. Tofu said it was seasoned, but it was way better than I thought it would be. First time coming here but will definitely be back. Super chill vibe, decently quiet and great customer service! They have feee wifi if you want to work while here or use it just because. My total came to $18 with added toppings and a sparkling water. I don't mind the pricing - you can't compare it to Chipotle and it's in The Square. It's totally worth it! Same owners as Consuelo, which is a few doors down. If you have not be en there yet, run now to dine in!

We got a great table for our party and we ordered some drinks. My only complaint is I could tell our server as new at this because I felt quite forgotten at times as he would just disappear but otherwise it was a great experience! The cocktail menu had a bunch of great choices and I loved my drink! For an appetizer, we got a flat bread and some spinach and artichoke dip both of which were amazing! Super tasty and flavorful. For my main, I got the chicken caesar wrap with fries and this was a massive wrap! Super yummy and I loved that the salad was finely chopped. Overall, the food was super delicious and I wish we had gotten a chance to play some of the games in this place because the vibes were great! Great spot and addition to downtown Gainesville.

The coffee drinks were spectacular. We tried both the hot and iced Macadamia Nut Lattes, and both versions were absolutely fantastic. The service was friendly, laid back, and truly embodied the aloha spirit and shaka vibe. Food-wise, this place absolutely delivers. They hit the mark with authentic-quality Hawaiian food and delicious tropical fare. Parking is plentiful, and overall I'd rate Hello Hilo a 5-star masterpiece. Mahalo, thank you, and two thumbs up!

Wait time wasn't too terrible. We spent 75 dollars with items mentioned above and two ham n cheese sliders for the kids. I'd say don't bother with the fries, we ate here twice and each time, the fries were stale and luke warm. The environment is cool, clean, colorful, and plenty of seating. Don't go on a Sunday afternoon due to it being super filled with people. Second visit wasn't well. The lady at the counter didn't receive my order correctly, my husband had his meal and ate it before they corrected mine.(roughly 20 min) They have a partial refund which is fine. We will be taking a break for a while. The worker that took my order didn't seem happy and had quite an attitude. The manager came to fix it right away.

During today's visit around 1:20pm there was a 20 minute wait which was fine. We waited the full length of time and got seated. Our server was very nice and took our drink and food orders quickly. After getting our appetizer (2 biscuits) we waited 50 minutes for our entree. Almost to the point where we weren't hungry. I was sorely disappointed when my meal, the chicken tenders, came out. They were wet, rubbery, and the breading wouldn't stay on. I completely lost my appetite and sent it away with the check. Our waiter offered a complementary dessert, but I came there to eat a meal. After waiting so long for a meal I was not going to waste any more of my day. What was most disappointing was that despite sending back nearly the entire dish, the entrée was still on the bill. Keep in mind this is not a cheap restaurant. In my opinion, when a customer returns 90% of a meal due to quality issues, that item should be removed without having to ask. Overall, we really wanted to enjoy this place, but between the long wait and poor food quality, it missed the mark for us. Unfortunately, we won't be returning.
