Halpatter's - Bacon burger with Gouda cheese

Thank you YELP! yet again for helping me find a fantastic joint…read more Went in on a Tuesday night. Parked right across the street in a public lot. Short walk to Halpatter's. Not many tables in the bar area so... we sat right at the bar. The bartender had all kinds of attitude... in the BEST way possible. It was awesome. We started with 12 wings tossed in their buffalo sauce. They were excellent - and this coming from a wing snob. The blue cheese was very good - thick and chunky. For the main course, I got the fish and chips with an extra piece of fish. The fish was great. Fries were above average. They had music bingo (maybe a Tuesday thing?) - that was a bit much but c'est la vie. There was one dude shouting out every song and singer. My guy, get a hobby! lol Highly Recommend! If I lived in that area, I would be a regular!

Brewery #390 Cool…read moreold, repurposed government building of some sort. Post office maybe? IDK. Anyway. Halpatter's is a brewery, but they only had 6 of their own beers. They had several guest beers and a couple of vodka sodas on tap. I got my standard flight and wanted to try their beers, so I got a red ale, a wit bier, a pumpkin style and a hazy IPA. Nothing was bad but nothing stood out either. Everything was solid. We didn't eat here but the menu looked solid. They had a Mississippi pot roast (Similiar to an Italian beef) wrap that sounded great. If I were a local, I'd definitely come back to try out the food.

I was at the Flying Boat last week (Ocala, near Belleview) and talking to Kevin about going to the…read moreMetro Craft Beer Headquarters. Kevin said that was a good location, but recommended I look at Sandy's Shack if I wanted better prices on brew. I went over the next day. To set the stage, Ocala is - surpriingly - a great craft beer city. In fact, there are other towns close by that also have a great selection in their taprooms. You can buy beer to go in many of the taprooms, but store wise, Ocala has two really good beer shops: Sandy's and Metro. This little gem of a shop sits in the Beall's shopping center behind the Outback on Silver Spring Blvd east of downtown. It is primarily a beer and wine shop and the shop owners, Sandy and Alex, were manning the fort when I went in. I started a conversation and Sandy showed me back to the beer section. There are 5 colors full of beer and the options are well curated. Many of the best breweries in Florida, with a decent selection of great brews from other states. I also ended up buying a bottle of wine, as they had a great selection of Italian wines: Sangiovese, Montepulciano, Nabbiollo, etc. And the knowledge the owners show for both wine and beer is fantastic. How does it compare to the Metro Craft Beer Headquarters? I think Metro may have a slightly larger selection, but fewer brews you can buy by the single. Plus, I found many of the beers to be a dollar or two more expensive per can at Metro (example: $8.99 for a 450 North Slushie Sour versus Sandy's $6.99). As such, it would be prudent, economics wise, to see if you can exhaust Sandy's Shack prior to Metro, unless you have a need for a particular beer you know is more likely to be at Metro. The shop also does some free tastings and the owners are more than happy to give you an education on wine and/or beer. Highly recommend.

Highly recommend this place. The owners are great people and fun to be around. Very hard working…read morecouple who won't disappoint.

We stopped in on the weekend of the Fiddler Crab festival in Steinhatchee, Fl…read more Our first choice was busy, with an hour wait, and a storm coming in, we opted for Fiddler's. We were warned that there were only 2 wait staff on at the time, and to be patient. To that, our waitress had the sweetest southern accent, her name started with an M, she was amazing. She handled her section, yes we waited but had no real complaints. The prices were a bit out of line with the food offerings. I paid $25.99 for some tender, juicy shrimp and $29.99 for a plate of "fried scallop" all were the size of a nickle and tasted like punched ray wing. I iver heard another customer state that they would like more chicken in their Chicken Alfredo, as the serving they got, 4 peices was ridiculous for the price they charge.

A very entertaining, true Florida, off the beaten path experience. While the restaurant is not the best in the world, it's pretty good and the only option on a Tuesday night that we could find. The place was crowded and we were taken care of with the right level of attention. We stayed in the newly remodeled first floor of one of the buildings. There's still lots of cleanup and re-building to do. It's a little sad to see Steinhatchee suffer so much. But glad to see folks trying to make a go of life again.

A great place to relax, enjoy quality craft beer, and soak in a fun atmosphere…read more Swamp Head Brewery delivers much more than great beer. The brewery has a welcoming, laid-back vibe, plenty of seating, and a unique setting that celebrates both Florida culture and international soccer. Watching the Ecuador match surrounded by flags from around the world made the experience even more enjoyable. The beer selection is impressive, and the tasting flight is a fantastic way to explore different styles before choosing a favorite. Every beer I sampled was fresh, flavorful, and clearly crafted with care. Whether you enjoy light, refreshing pours or something more complex, there is something here for every palate. The staff was friendly, the atmosphere was lively without feeling crowded, and the overall experience was excellent. If you're in Gainesville and appreciate good craft beer, a welcoming crowd, and a relaxed environment, Swamp Head Brewery is definitely worth a visit. I'll be back to try more of their beers.

The atmosphere was lively, and the overall scenery around the brewery was nice too. Definitely a good place to hang out and have a few beers. The beer was good, and the light lager was excellent and crisp. Very solid. No complaints at all. Overall, great brewery with a fun vibe, good beer, and a nice setup. I'd definitely stop back in next time I'm in Gainesville.

I've been craving a taco pizza and asked if they might be able to make it on a Tuesday since they have everything needed, and they said they could. It's Tuesday, and I ordered the pizza over the phone, just picked it up, and started eating it... this is the BEST taco pizza I have ever had (I've had quite a few). Rich, the pizza master, used refried beans with queso for the base, then added meat, olives, onions, tomatoes, and lettuce. I haven't eaten this much food in a while. I cannot wait until next Tuesday!

Well after seeing this restaurant on a friends youtube channel. We just had to try it!!!!!…read moreDrive from Gainesville is about 38 or so mins depending traffic. We got there got sat down right away and had an awesome server named Sissy, its alot Bigger once you get inside, and the atmosphere, color scheme and music ambiance is a perfect trifecta. We ordered 2 of our favorite Italian appetizers, if they are on the menu at a restaurant we always order them Mozzarella Caprese and Bruschetta. And then order our main meals. They were perfectly spaced apart so that we could enjoy each item.Sissy checked back with us regularly to make sure we were good, some excellent service!! Not only only are they in my Top 3 Italian spots, they have taken over the #1 spot in North Florida!! There isnt a thing i can say negatively about this restaurant, only thing i wish it were in Gainesville!! Whatever you got do to get out to Branford to try them out, DO IT!! ! They do own a restaurant same name in Lake city but i havent tried them. And the Tiramusu is homemade and AMAZING!!
