    We met old friends at this cozy, comfortable restaurant in downtown Alachua. After consulting the wall menu, with reasonable prices for everything, we ordered at the counter. Our friends paid cash, but we tapped to pay our bill with a credit card. The food came in a reasonable time - hot and great to look at. Everything was delicious! My friend and I had the Cobb salad with grilled chicken. We agreed that it was so good! His wife had the grilled cheese with fries and Husband had the double smash cheeseburger with fries. Both must have been good because neither left anything on their plates! The young woman who brought our food and cleared our table was pleasant and efficient. Next time we visit our friends, we want to come back here for lunch!

    Was looking forward to trying this place every since i saw them on Food with the fellas review on youtube. Saturdays thay serve breakfast all day.so we opted for breakfast this visit We ordered typical breakfast food.Came out hot and fresh.As busy as they were, still pretty quiet and love the old town vibes.Definitely worth the drive from Gainesville. Sitting there at our table looking out the big glass window at folks walking by or cars slowly driving past.We will be returning for sure to check out their lunch menu.

    You order at the counter then find a table. Food is good. It was busy and service was a little slow.

    Really cute hamburger place inside a reclaimed box car with attached game room, nicely clean…read morebathrooms and a beer and wine garden at the end with nice seating area there as well. Parking is a challenge, but we parked elsewhere and walked over there. The smell of the delicious burgers had me drooling! Got the double patty with cheese Goldie burger and onion rings and my husband got the same with loaded tater tots. Sprite and water in a bottle for drinks...and we were all set. Our order came out pretty quickly and we enjoyed watching the kids run around excitedly and play the various games, whether it was skee ball, pinball, driving courses, riding the motorized animals...kids enjoy the most basic things to the maximum! Great idea for families! Nice park frontage, walking paths, etc. I'm going to have to tell my daughter in law to bring the kids here next time. They'd LOVE IT! The Goldie Burger was fantastic. They do have vegan options as well, so don't fret! Tots, fries and onion rings are excellent sides for your sandwich. The fella at the front counter was beyond pleasant, helpful, friendly and very attentive to every patron. Even went so far as to give extra free tokens to one family with 3 little ones since they spent so much there on their meals. I gave out free tokens to a lithe younger girl who was wearing what used to be my favorite sneakers growing up...Converse All-Stars! She had her mouth hanging open for a few minutes while mom said thank you for her...hey, old people don't place much arcade games I told them.... So enjoy! Great family spot with the kids to run off that excess energy and have fun. We enjoyed the food and the scenery.

I have only had this place once when I first moved back. Per the pictures on Yelp, some menu items have increased, which is expected. I ordered a single cheeseburger, crinkle cut fries, and a side of the Goldie's sauce. The total came out to $13.75. I waited for about 5 - 8 minutes for the food. I did end up eating in the park. The burger is a thin smashburger and pretty huge. It had lettuce, red onion, pickles, and Goldie's sauce. The burger was good and the sauce is a tangy mustard relish type of sauce. I really liked the bun, it's like an everything seasoning bun. It was fresh and toasty. As for the crinkle cut fries, I really like the seasoning. Each fry was coated very well, but they were not cooked to my liking. While they were hot and fresh, the fries were still soft as if they needed to cooked a bit longer. Also I believe that for dipping the Cajun mayo would've a better dipping option over the Goldie's sauce just because the seasoning on the fries. Overall, it was pretty good lunch for a nice day in the park.

    I went on a group ride with some folks that like to go out to breakfast on Mondays, and they had…read morechosen Farmhouse 1906 this time around. Entering it kind of reminds you of a farmhouse, I guess. Pretty standard furnishings and decoration for a country diner sort of place. Of course, we were there for breakfast, so the standard diner breakfast was on the menu. The full menu consists of burgers, sandwiches, and a couple of barbecue dishes. If there were more screens mounted on the walls I would call it a sportsbar, but that isn't the case. Our orders were taken, and I had gone for eggs, hashbrowns, and corned beef because it was St Patty's Day. Realistically one of the few times that I have legitimately had food that was appropriate for the holiday. Our food came out in a reasonable amount of time for a group of ten, so the kitchen and staff knew what they were doing. The food was fine... nothing to really shout out about, but also not bad. It was what I expected it to be, and that was good enough.

    1906 Farmhouse 25405 W Newberry Rd, Newberry, FL 32669…read more ***SWILL ALERT*** Pulling up to the hitchin' post at the 1906 Farmhouse, all seemed well and fine. I don't mind themed restaurants (they can be fun). This place was designed to model the Farmhouse where the ranch hands gathered for meals before and after a long day of riding. I dug it. It gave off a warm, welcoming, one-of-the-family vibe. Kasey was my server for the meal and she was frowning before I asked one question. I placed an order for one Country Fried Steak with sides of Collard Greens and Mac & Cheese, along with some Strawberry Shortcake to round out the meal. I soon saw Cantankerous Kasey begrudgingly returning with my victuals. I don't understand this attitude. Am I supposed to be grateful she deigned to work here? Anyway, if any of you are curious like me, you may have often wondered what it was like to spend a day in jail. To that end, I admit, I got myself hauled off to the County Hoosegow. Wanting to make the most out of my tax dollars, I booked my stay to include lunch. The dry bologna sandwich you receive, along with the juice bag to wash it down, is something you try to forget. As I looked at the slop my trustee, Kasey, placed before me, I began to long for the county jail government issue bologna. The Country Fried Steak was fresh from the freezer and cooked with the precision of Stevie Wonder passing his behind-the-wheel driving test. I've been hit with hockey pucks softer than this garbage. The gravy was made in the Sysco factory and this had to be their bottom-grade slush. It was as tasty as flour and water. Wait. The sides were a step down from the entree, if that is possible. Just look at the pictures and tell me, does anything look appetizing? While I am not one to ever judge a book by its cover, as looks can be deceiving. In this case, they are not, and the adage 'a picture speaks a thousand words' is spot on. The Collard Greens were obviously from an industrial can. Hey, don't get me wrong, all restaurants use a food service, but you don't have to be cheap about it and try to finagle the dining population by using the lowest quality they have to offer. The Mac & Cheese looked more like something a dog regurgitated than actual food. It was dry and pasty on the palate--just the way it is not supposed to be. The Strawberry Shortcake is also food service, not unlike the stuff you got in high school, only worse. Kudos, 1906 Farmhouse, you officially serve Swill sans the fly. At least on this visit. The Big Boy says, "I wouldn't serve this SWILL to a dead dog."
