    Good quality and freshly made food. Our table ordered pancakes and bacon, tenderloin biscuits and gravy and a torta de carne asada. Interesting mix but food was a good value

    Mom and I stopped here in our way to Botanical Gardens. They were a really quick, tasty choice. They serve both breakfast and lunch. It has a real "homey" atmosphere. I'd definitely go back should I visit that area again. The service was also very good.

    I found TLC via a viral food review on Facebook! Traveled 30 minutes to try their food. Awesome…read moreexperience from ordering to tasting their smash burger and wing combo. It is a take-out restaurant, with limited outdoor seating, neighboring Chevron gas station and across from Lakewood Baptist Church. The food is made to order; my order was ready in 18 minutes. I got a single smash burger, fries, and kash (hot honey-lemon pepper mix) flavored wings (4 ct), and bottled drink--lunch plate combo for $21. Everything was yummy. The burger was delicious. The fries were good without dipping sauce. The wings were pretty good; they weren't fried crispy as requested, and I only tasted a hint of lemon pepper--definitely a sweeter sauce flavor. Overall, good tasting food here!! I hope you'll encounter Nina; she patiently answered my questions, aware that it was my first visit, and she offered for me to sample the TLC sauce ( house-made, mayo-based aioli). Great customer service! Closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. I'd make the drive again for this meal!

Everything was cooked to perfection and tasty. The employees were friendly, the food was cooked and ready in less than 10 minutes, and the facility was very clean. This is now my favorite take-out place for smash burgers. Unfortunately, I live in NC. But, I will return to The Lunch Counter on future visits to the area when visiting family. Highly recommend!

They have a large bar. A nice set up for live music which they had someone playing Saturday evening. Ordered the decoy burger. One of the better smash burgers I've had in a while. Server was great. We went back to play duck bowling. He moved our deserts over to the lanes. The Crème brûlée was delicious as well. The duck bowling is a little expensive, $60 an hr but we had a good time. They also have golf simulators and putt putt.

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.
