Just my second time eating here. The food was outstanding! I got the Short Rib Risotto. Great atmosphere! Our server Nick was very personable and provided exceptional service! Thanks Nick! We look forward to coming back! read more

Fabulous ambiance and delicious food. Large variety of food and drinks. Great service.

Spurriers has quickly become one of my favorite restaurants in town. I've eaten in every section they have by now and always look forward to the next time. Food is great, servers are attentive, and it's a great vibe. read more

We made a reservation for this restaurant on New Year'S Eve. We were seated after a brief wait. The food was very good. One of the best steaks I've had. I ordered the 6 oz filet with mashed potatoes, my husband ordered the prime rib and my son ordered the pasta with seafood. They were all crowd pleasers, even for the toughest critics of the group. Service was good as well as the ambiance. Will definitely be back! read more

Had a wonderful birthday dinner here yesterday! If you're into football this is the place to be! There is a mini museum throughout the restaurant complete with helmets, rings and other sports apparel. Cool lighting in the place made for a nice but not overly stuff atmosphere. Our server, Alyssa, was SO nice and made the restaurant seem that much better. food was delish too (I got the shrimp and grits) read more

We were at first disappointed it was buffet only on the Saturday we went. We made reservations for lunch just to be on the safe side because many Google reviews recommended it. The food was excellent. Shrimp and grits, salmon, nice salad options, Mac and cheese, wings, very yummy desserts. All of it was delicious. read more

Had to check out the hype and check out Spurrier's and must admit was a bit disappointed. We started off we exceptionally good service that just declined downhill with our server being less and less attentive. The food was really just okay. I started off with the tailgate chili which had some good concepts but was just so dried out. They just sprinkled some cheese on top and a pickled jalapeños but not effort. We also had some short rib crostinis. The short rib itself was good but it was on the soggiest piece of bread. Going into the entree, I was excited because the mashed potatoes and the Marsala sauce was so rich and flavorful just to be disappointed by a dry piece of chicken. For $25 it was a disappointment. We also tried the encrusted Mahi and it was the driest piece of fish I've had. For $35 I was extremely disappointment. While some of their concepts and dishes sounds amazing but they're lacking basic techniques. Cool concept but I think there food is lacking read more

Lest you think this is just a sports bar, it's not. This restaurant is good. Really good. It's in a very cool spot in a new shopping area, next to a movie theatre, shops, and restaurants. When we went there was live music on the pavilion in front of the restaurant. It added to the ambience outside at the bar, where my wife and I sat. The regular house salad was great. The pumpkin seeds and flavorful chick peas were a nice touch in the salad. For dinner my wife had the chicken Marsala and said it was excellent. At the bar tender's suggestion I went with the shrimp and grits. They were outstanding! One of the best shrimp and grits I've ever had in my life. That good. The grits had an awesome texture and flavor, with the white cheddar really coming through. The creole sauce and the shrimp were perfectly cooked and incredibly flavorful. Such a great dish. For those that like football, there is a room that looks like a museum. You can actually sit in there, and the walls are decorated with Coach Spurrier's trophies, rings, jerseys, awards, and famous visors. Very cool indeed. If you're in Gainesville, Spurrier's is s must. You won't be disappointed. read more

Awesome atmosphere the food was just okay, The service was excellent and great drink menu. The steaks were good but the street corn, calamari crab cakes and quinoa salad were just okay. They were very ordinary and definitely not in line for the gorgeous restaurant and wonderful service! read more

Overview: 5/5 I've been to Spurrier's numerous times and wanted to finally leave a review. Pricey and only for special occasion or Wine Wednesday for a fabulous night out. Atmosphere 5/5 If your a Florida Gator you will LOVE this place. It has a sports theme with tons of memorabilia from the Steve Spurrier days. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating for small and large parties. Food/Drink 5/5 It's not an extensive menu but all dishes I have had are top chef quality. I had the short ribs and risotto and it did not disappoint. A large wine list from reasonably priced to ridiculous. Service : 5/5 Our sever Melody was awesome. Professional and got the whole order right. Conclusion : We will return and it's a winner read more

Ambiance is what we came for!! My dad is a big fan, and I had to come check out. The restaurant !! Food was great! Service was even better!

Went there for Sunday brunch. What a great buffet. Great selection. Had an omelette. It was a surprise. Not what I ordered but it was good anyway. Loved the thick bacon and sausages Service was excellent. Coffee was good too. Its a noisy place still looking forwsrd to our next visit. read more

Our experience at Spurrier's was great. This was actually our third visit in the past two years. It was our anniversary, and we enjoyed everything about the dinner. Our server Will B would make the Head Ball Coach proud. He was professional and polite. He asked us if it was a special occasion and brought champagne for a toast when we told him that it was our anniversary. I'm a draft beer guy and love the 1966 Draft Lager. Both our appetizer, the eggplant fritter and dinner, we both had the shrimp and grits were great. Thanks for the great service and experience. read more

Good bourbon options, fresh food, quick service. Our server Nick G was great for our date night Friday evening after seeing a movie. Will return! read more

Food was below average. Everything on the menu sounded delicious but was not. My broccoli was somehow overcooked and extremely tough at the same time. The beet salad had potential as all the ingredients were good individually but did not work together as a whole. Felt like someone took the menu from a successful restaurant and tried to copy it badly. read more

In town for parents weekend. Stopped in last night since we figured it would be impossible during the weekend. Service and food were both good. Loved seeing all the memorabilia. It was done nice and not over done like some places. Big win for the night looking next to you and seeing Steve Spurrier and his wife Jerri. He came over to our table and talked to us. He was kind and friendly with everyone. Such a great experience over all. read more

Such a fantastic spot for a good meal! We had a reservation (I feel like this is mandatory for game day, so many kept coming in asking for a table, they were 100% booked for the night) Our service was excellent. The food was spot on delicious. The memorabilia displayed is done is a gorgeous, tasteful manner. There is a smaller menu on game day, all delicious items, just something to be aware of if you are wanting something specific that you see on their online menu. read more

Visited tonight for a special occasion. Our server Amber was wonderful. Our party of 6 enjoyed 2 appetizers and 5 different entrees. Seafood, beef, chicken and pasta ......all excellent. The decor is centered around Steve Spurrier, but even if you aren't a football fan you will find it interesting and very tasteful. Make sure to order some Jerry's cookies. You might even get a visit from the Head Ball Coach. Best restaurant in Gainesville and surrounding area hands down. read more

A great addition to Gainesville! It's amazing to see The Ole Ball Coach's awards and accolades in one place - so much history and esteem. And the food and drinks were excellent. The showstopper, though, was the service. Charlie was our server, and he took such good care of us. I was with a group of 3 UF alumni, and we will be coming back! read more

I was disappointed! We ordered three appetizers and they were not good. Then, we ordered hamburgers and Fries and my daughter's had three frozen fries in the bunch not under cooked but FROZEN for which the manager just apologized. I think there should have been a better resolution to the problem. It was my daughter's B-day and again no nice dessert or special attention. As I said disappointed and underwhelmed! read more

Spurrier's Gridiron Grille - Frozen Fries - American Near Me - Gainesville, Florida

I hate leaving bad reviews for any establishment especially when my family owns many mexican restaurants in Atlanta and I know how people can be. I chose this restaurant because of its legacy and reputation and many recommendations. Staff was okay. It was a busy Thursday night, but for me to wait over an hour for my steak dinner to come out cold was a bit extreme. My kind bartender saw my dissatisfied face and asked what was wrong and I told her my meal was cold. I said it was not a problem and I requested my check and she said sure and she would ask for a manger who never came after 25 minutes (enough time to finish my wine) .... It might have been my luck but as a medical professional who is now going to be traveling to Gainesville FL often, I won't be coming back. read more

Service was good. The place is clean. Wine was pricier than average. Menu had a vegetarian option or two but was spotty in ther ways. Sports themed with a few TVs. The rooms are overlit and cold. That paired with the high noise level made the ambiance unsuitable for me and my naturally quiet companion that evening. You might like it though if you're looking for a classier sports friendly restaurant than a regular sports bar. read more

Came here for Father's Day, and had an incredible experience- everyone in the party enjoyed their drink, food, and atmosphere. Our waitress, Melody, was an absolute pleasure as well. For drinks, we had the signature marg, the blueberry mule, a Citron 75, and a lager on draft. Each drink was yummy in its own right- my Citron 75 was a pleasant surprise, both sweet and citrus-y (not dry at all). We had the short rib crostini and eggplant appetizers- of the two, the crositini was def the winner. The eggplant was ok, mostly breadcrumb in my opinion. Our mains included the prime rib, burger, brussel salad, and shrimp scampi. Each were enjoyed throughly by all- my personal favorite of the group was the burger, though. The salad wad good, the chicken was a tad dry but as a whole the salad was great. To be honest, the most surprising and pleasant part of the whole experience was the atmosphere- I was not expecting how nice it was! It was far more than just a sports bar- it was an elevated experience. Our waitress did a great job with checking in on us, made great recs, and was so nice. My dad and fiancée (a paw-ther) enjoyed their fathers day dinners, and I am glad we went here to celebrate. read more

Good service and great food. Would definitely go back again. Mahi was very good. Bread pudding would last me for three days.

Overpriced food for absolutely no reason, because their food is mid AF. Service is great because the waiters are trained to be good so no shade to them. The only reason people go here is because it's a gator museum, honestly this would do wonderful as a sports bar but they made it a lame museum fancy restaurant with overpriced mediocre food therefore I will never go again. I ordered chicken and waffles and it was mid AF. People pretend to like the restaurant because it's a Gainesville classic. Two stars out of pity. read more

Food and atmosphere are great. A lot on unique memorabilia. Bar was on spot. Speed and service were a 10 and the food tastes like a real house made meal. Not production stuff. Will return again. read more

Good/delicious food and great ambiance. The waiter was very attentive and able to give us some great insight on the menu. I will definitely visit this restaurant again! read more

We love Spurrier's GridironGrill and make an effort to stop by whenever we are in town. The food and service are top notch. The shrimp and grits were wonderful with just the right amount of spice and "kick"! The macadamia crusted mahi with lobster sauce was also perfectly cooked, light and flavorful. I highly recommend the lychee martini for those interested in a cocktail. Don't pass on dessert- both the bread pudding and the salted caramel pots de crème are worth every calorie! Gator fans will love the memorabilia and the history of Spurrier's years at UF! Even if you aren't a football fan, you will be a fan of the food! Goooooooooo Gators! read more

Love this place! It's Steve Spurrier's latest adventure complete with artwork of Steve, a hall of fame including his visors, championship rings, footballs, and helmets from over the years, and a rooftop bar that is to open soon called Visors (how perfect of a name is that?). There's even a letter from Steve on the first page of the menu... adorable touch. The food was delicious and they had tons of options. We got the truffle short rib crostini appetizer which came with 5-6 servings. Each crostini had enough short rib to leave you satisfied and it was a great flavor. My only recommendation is that the appetizer was a little cold when it arrived, but it was so good I could overlook that. For my main course, I got the artichoke chicken and mashed potatoes on a whim and I'm so glad I did. The cream sauce was so good. There were plenty of artichokes. Overall a very filling dish. Even though I don't live in Gainesville anymore, I plan to make Spurrier's a staple each time I come back to visit. read more

First time visitor here! To be honest, the food was just kind of average and the service felt a little robotic. We came at noon on a Saturday expecting the regular menu but we actually were unknowingly there during brunch hours which last until 3 on weekends. Maybe we were just bummed because we had eaten breakfast early that am and wanted a true lunch/dinner menu (which looked amazing by the way) but it was pretty underwhelming. It was a much more formal and dare I say "chic" spot and menu than we were expecting from a place with Coach Spurrier's name on the building. Would love to try dinner there someday and check out the bar, Visors, which was temporarily closed. Also thought the memorabilia was pretty neat. read more

Bri is the best! She was so wonderful and made my mom's birthday feel so special. Thank you!

We did a large group private room for dinner at Spurriers and it was amazing. The staff communicated with me from the start- they've clearly worked with a lot of sports teams before. They knew the right questions to ask, had waters on the tables ready to go and everything. The food tasted amazing and they timed the meal perfectly. To be able to deliver 37 hot meals at once was pretty phenomenal. Food and service were definitely 5 stars. read more

Great experience in this causal restaurant Seated quickly Craft cocktails excellent Daughters burger was raved about Husband shrimp and grits also very good My seafood pasta was over cooked but tasty Rave reviews from all of us for our fantastic personable waiter Crispin He truly made our night Knowledgeable about the drinks and menu and on target with taking our orders, checking to see if we needed refills and making sure our dinners were to our liking. Crispin made us feel welcomed, never rushed and even had time to chat I think we'd go back just to visit with him again! read more

The venue was great, the food was excellent, but the waitress was AMAZING! Melody was extremely knowledgeable with Spurrier's history, menu, and scene overall. She was always readily available and tended to our table with the utmost care and attention. I was highly impressed. We will certainly come back after experiencing 5/5 star service. Thanks, Melody! read more

The atmosphere is great. Tons of TV by the bar. The service is fast and courteous. The foods are amazing. The flavors and seasoning is perfect on all the dishes. Can't not wait till come back during football season. Spurrier is known to be there to greet fans before the game. This place is amazing and must go. read more
