    So this is getting 5 stars based off my husband's taste buds however they'd get 5 stars from me solely based on looks and smell. We just stumbled across this spot and man what a delightful surprise. Talk about an old school joint serving minimal, made to order items. The smells were intoxicating and the burgers were cooked to perfection. This man devoured his burger before we were a block away. Our little did some damage to her burger and fries as well. We live in Jacksonville and happened to be in the area for a powerlifting meet, but we will definitely drive back again just to eat here.

    We wanted to grab some fast food for lunch and the local Yelpers in Gainesville convinced us to try Mac's. The menu was no-frills; short and sweet, like an east coast In-n-Out. Similar to In-n-Out, there was a fairly long line of cars in the drive thru, but it split into two lines once on the lot and moved along at a decent pace. Other Yelpers mentioned that lunch hour is extremely busy here and we can attest to that, as the line for Mac's extended well onto 10th Ave when we exited. On to the food... What Mac's lacks in menu variety, they absolutely shine in quality! The burgers were cooked to perfection, like the best backyard cookout burger you've ever had. The fries were wonderfully crisp, not too greasy or salty. Alongside an ice cold root beer, it was a perfect lunch to satisfy my burger craving. Would definitely return on a future visit to Gainesville!

    Would give it 10 stars if I could, one of the best burgers I've had in awhile.. Meat seasoned well, condiments and toppings tasted fresh and were nice and crispy Fries reminded me of McDonald's they were delicious!!! Sweet tea top notch, next time I'll ask for lite ice. Will put this on my list of places to frequent when in Gainesville

    A little DIY spot that's doing it right is something that everyone should be looking out for as you just can't go wrong with that! Coming here was simple as I was on the road and I was able to get through quickly and grab a totally yummy burger! Of the few yummy choices I went with the double bacon cheeseburger as that just sounded good and let me say it totally was as the meat was cooked perfectly along with the bacon and this burger was just what was good for this adventure that also had some fries! Of the drinks I went with their strawberry which pretty much tasted like strawberry Fanta but it made for a totally yummy bubbly! Their associates were friendly and nice as well as quick service that was delightful to interact with! Overall this is an awesome burger place that's doing it right but be aware as it can get really busy as when I was leaving the line was already down the street!

    Good cheeseburger! Drive through only. Burgers, a few sandwiches and fries. Nothing fancy, but tastes good and fresh!

    Drive through....

    1. Parking and surroundings: Just a few spaces, if you want to park, order through the front window and eat alfresco, there's two park benches in the side of the building. Almost everyone orders through the drive through window. Ambiance: Just a stand alone building, some heavy traffic will tell you that you won't be dissapointed. Food: Pick your itemized items through the speakers.... fries comes out hot, crispy, tasty, just perfect. You can order your burger or cheeseburger all the way, like I did and you will find that the lettuce, tomatoes and onions are all fresh, yes, I said fresh. The juicy burger has an incredibly natural rich and flavorsome taste. Not too seasoned, not too bland, just right, not dry like fast food chain rest. I did enjoy this meal while parked in my vehicle. I would not hesitate to go back, or repeat. From 1 to 10 I will give it an 8. On Yelp I give it 5 stars. Where else can you grab a fresh good tasting quality burger for a good price?

    Great burgers, but roast beef sandwich was a little off. Not a physically appealing area at all but it's tasty, convenient, and cheap.

    Good burger, think i'll opt for the double next time. Only thing holding it back from a four-star, were the fries tasting like fish sticks.

    I've been to El Indio a couple times as it is right by my apartment complex. It is a great place to…read moregrab authentic Mexican take out in Midtown! With that being said, I've tried a variety of their menu items. They offer a wonderful variety of tex-mex dishes, burgers, soft-serve, and more. Another thing I appreciate about all their entrees is that you can customize them, include whatever meat you want, remove items, and add items. I really do appreciate this as it makes your meal truly cater to your cravings! This location is a takeout spot or drive-thru experience. There isn't any indoor seating spaces, although they do have a covered outdoor eating space. The service is usually pretty quick and friendly. I have never had any issues here with my order and I have always received the correct order within a reasonable amount of time. Everything is made to order and tastes very fresh as well. I would say the prices are fair and the portions are giving, depending on what you order. They do not offer complimentary chips with most meals though. On my most recent visit, I tried their nachos with shredded beef and churros. The nachos included a bed of their corn tortilla chips topped with black refried beans, jack & cheddar cheese, then topped with sour cream, guacamole, and salsa fresca. These were just ok and definitely not my favorite thing from here. I don't think nachos are served best as takeout and the chips got kind of soggy. There was a plentiful amount of the tender shredded beef though. The flavors were there, it just wasn't executed the best and I would probably opt for their tacos instead. I also don't love El Indio's guacamole as it reminds me of premade store bought guacamole. Their chips are also hit or miss...sometimes they taste very fresh and other times they are slightly stale. On this particular experience I didn't think I got the freshest chips. Their churros I got hit the spot and were coated in ample amounts of sugar & cinnamon. I thought these were a perfect way to end my meal and really enjoyed them! Overall, I really think El Indio is a solid spot for Mexican in Midtown. They have a solid business and are relatively close to campus. The food tastes very authentic, is fresh, and has a lot of flavor. While the nachos weren't my favorite, I love their tacos (all of the meats I've tried have been wonderful!), taco bowls, and their soft-serve is AMAZING. I truly enjoy ordering here and will definitely be back soon! I would recommend checking them out if you haven't already.

The shrimp was cooked perfectly and there was a (what seemed to be) mayo based sauce inside. The slaw was nice, though if it was a bit sweeter it may have been even better. The nachos are my go-to. The Guac and sour cream on top is my favorite part and it's always super fresh. The staff are always super friendly and service is fast! It's a seat-yourself order at the counter type of place. Nice covered outdoor seating

    Okay, this is a hard one. Let's get this out of the way first...Magoo's was good. I'm a Cane's fan…read morebut wanted to give this a try. Honestly both do things well. I like Cane's fingers and comeback sauce better, but HM has a ton of sauce choices not just one like Cane's. In this respect, it's like Saucys, but better. They also have salads like Zaxbys, but better. And nuggets, let's not forget the nuggets. Their Texas toast probably the best in town. Blows Cane's out of the water. For fries I give the edge to Cane's. So if you only one strips and comeback sauce, Cane's wins. If you want variety, like salads and nuggets and a variety of sauces, Huey Magoo's wins. Zaxby's which used to be one of our favorites has gone downhill and is really only an option if you want wings, which the other restaurants do not have. Saucy's, unfortunately, which replaced PDQ, comes in last. So overall, I like this place. It's a bit hard to find, but if you're an old timer it's in the last location where Burritos Brothers used to be, just off Univ Ave. If you're looking for some good chicken strips, I'd give this place a try.

We…read morelearned that they had been only open for two weeks, so word still needs to spread about their opening. Approximately ten locally-owned restaurants line the perimeter of the space, with a centralized bar and a billiards table in the back. We bought food from Smash City, Gringo Taco, and Nori; and beverages from the bar. Everything was fine, but the stand out was the service from the bar staff. If you want to stop by somewhere with multiple options, this is a good spot.

    I came here a couple weeks ago with a group of friends and we had a great time! We came before a…read morehome football game to grab something to eat and were quite satisfied. The food hall is fairly new and not all the stations are completely set up. That being said, they still had a great variety of things to choose from. Ranging from pizza, to tacos. to asian, to smoothies, they have something for just about anyones tastes! The hall itself is spacious and very clean. It has an industrial feel to it with dining hall sort of vibes. There are some really cute UF accents and decorations included as well. It wasn't too busy when we came, but they did have a DJ doing music. There were also several people enjoying the bar located in the center of the hall. The portions are decent sizes. Some of the stations portions are bigger than others. Which is nice because it allows you to sample and explore multiple things. I ended up starting at the Mexican station. They offered freshly prepared, customizable tacos, quesadillas, burritos, etc. I opted for a single taco, so I could try some of the other things offered. The tortillas are griddled with cheese in them, then topped with either chicken or shredded beef. You can choose from a nice selection of toppings including pico de galo, more cheese, lime juice, and an array of sauces. The taco had great flavor, but the cheese caused it to become "soggy" and fall apart. This made it particularly challenging to eat the taco. I then ventured onto the pizza station. They served focaccia styled square pizza with a thicker airy crust. It is almost reminiscent of a Sicilian styled pizza, but a little lighter. I opted for the pepperoni with hot honey added for an extra charge. The pizza was amazing! Served hot and fresh right out of the oven. The cupped pepperonis were heavenly and amply spread throughout the pizza. There was the perfect amount of hot honey to compliment to heat of the pepperonis. The cheese to sauce ratio was nice and the crust was chewy. It the perfect size for a personal pie or could easily be shared with a friend. I really enjoyed the pizza and liked the square style of it. Overall, I enjoyed the Gainesville Food Hall. They offer a nice variety of cuisines. It is family friendly and a great spot to grab a bite and hang out with friends. The space is clean and has an inviting feel about it. I really appreciate the idea of a food hall and think it is a great addition to Gainesville. Will be returning at some point in the future and cannot wait to try more!
