We had some long time friends come down with us as well. Our first stop on our Gainesville Adventure was here! I ordered the #9. Tony Montana Cubano. I have to say I've had many Cuban sandwich's before but this Cuban sandwich was the BEST! I love the flavor of seasoned pork they use as well as the Boars Head Meat. I do believe all those makes the difference. If you like Cuban sandwich's you must try this one. Also our friends with us ordered the #12 Uncle Drew Monte Cristo and shared and they loved it! All the staff were super friendly! It took about 10 minutes for us to get our sandwich's. Everything was clean and well kept. Definitely recommend The Paper Bag!

Girl walked up to our car while in line to take our order, so the line would move smoother. We hadnt tried them before so we asked for a cold latte suggestion. She recommended the carmello i think that what they called it. It definitely tasted alot better in my opinion than some of the coffees we had been getting from elsewhere, you could taste the coffee and the caramel. It stayed cold and not watered down all the way back to Gainesville. It had a cool coffee spot vibe.not sure if there is a place to sit down inside or if it is strictly drive thru. Did see people walking up through the parking lot towards the building so not sure. Have noticed alot of these branded coffee shops popping up, definitely give them a shot. And the price was cheaper than our regular go to spot by the house.

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."

My friend and I met after we parked our bikes. She was sitting outside, and as I was locking my bike, less than a block away, she texted me. I just walked to her without responding, and with a smile and a hug, we walked in to look at the menu. The sandwiches have some very creative names that go along with their creative construction. I got a #10, which was a fusion of French dip and Philly cheese!! I wanna buy the person a beer, whoever thought of that one! Even though it was busy, we didn't wait long to order. Every sandwich comes in a paper bag, so you can take it out or stay and munch. We got a combo with chips and a drink, because how else do you eat a big sandwich like this?! There are board games to play, decor that is not typical and a big display of Guy Fieri, from the Food Network, that lets you know this place is on America's culinary map. After the sandwiches were done, I brought them out to my friend Kimberly, who was saving our table. We both were hungry, so out of the wrap and in with the teeth. Mine was full of flavor and the fact that all the sandwiches are heat-pressed, made the texture very satisfying. The au jus was thick and delicious and made me think someone took great time and effort to make it. It is a casual restaurant, great for a date or a group of friends, or a solo quick lunch, that can also be a dinner as well. The food is somewhat pricey, but it delivers as a good meal with a creative touch. They could have emptied the garbage can more quickly, as it was more than overflowing, when I went to throw the garbage away. Memorable food, and makes me want to come back to try at least two other sandwiches that I read about.

Sounds pricey but my wife and I spit it and still had some leftovers. Also, this might seem a bit off topic but this place has some of the best fries. Great seasoning.

Following a visit to the sprawling UF campus, my wife and I decided to try out The Spot for lunch…read more Located in a building housing other eateries and with limited "free" parking, we parked in the parking structure in the same building. As it was summer break, a lot of the other businesses in the building were closed (Vietnamese and Italian restaurant as well as a boba place). The place looks like it was being run by a hardworking couple. We checked out the menu and my wife ordered the Gyro Platter and I ordered the Souvlaki Platter. We also ordered a couple of fountain drinks. The gyro meat was well seasoned and tender. The Greek salad was quite good. The chicken souvlaki, however, seemed to lack flavor and a bit dry. Portions were quite generous and the value was there. We actually packed our leftovers for some quesadillas later. If we do go back, I would order the gyro instead of the chicken souvlaki. NOTE: They don't validate parking which was $3 for an hour

This restaurant has an entry on the corner of the building, with outdoor seating along one side of the building. I opted for the outdoor seating as it was a nice day. I was escorted out to my table, and my drink order was taken. Going through the menu, I opted for a burger with fries. It was quite pleasant out, and waiting for my food was not a problem. The burger was quite good, and the fries were decent as well. The price point is a bit more than most of the sports bars out there, but the Tioga area tends to boost the cost of things a bit. All in all, a nice place to have a bite to eat. I can see this place being very good for brunch.

Sitting here wondering what it is that doesn't draw me to this place time and again. Because don't…read moreget me wrong the food is good here. It's been about a year since our last visit and here's what I've come up with. 1. The water is terrible. Please buy a filter. I think it's the worst water I've had in a Gainesville restaurant. 2. This place can't decide if it's a restaurant or bar. It's loud. Very loud when full. I couldn't even understand the server and my husband had to sit next to me. The bar is the focal point. It should really be in the other room off to the side. It takes up too much space and it's obnoxiously loud. 3. The menu: Again. It's a bar menu. Large selection of handhelds. Few limited mains. Some salads. There are appetizers but this is the weakest link on the menu. 4. I usually love their off menu drinks. But they were both lacking tonight. I even asked for more purée to boost the flavor. The problem was I couldn't taste the gin. Just seltzer. The issue I have when I go out to dinner I'm looking for a meal I won't make at home and although there is a huge chunk of the population that doesn't really care what they eat as long as they don't have to make it , I don't fall in that category. I'm a foodie. Have traveled the world and know a good meal when it sits in front of me. The food here is decent but the ambience and awful water leaves me coming here last minute to find a bite. But seriously, buy a filter for your tap. The clientele will thank you.

The soup and "spun" bread are stars! Just tried Spinwiches and it is a must-visit in High Springs!…read moreThe standout feature is definitely their signature bread. It's unusual--kind of like it was rolled around a rolling pin and baked. It is thin but substantial enough to hold a sandwich together perfectly without being too heavy. What we ordered: Tomato Bisque: Absolutely delicious! It was thick, creamy, and exactly what a bisque should be. 1/2 Ham & Swiss: The ingredients were very fresh and tasty. Even the half-sandwich felt like a great portion. BBQ Sandwich: My husband got this and he loved it--he ate every single bite. Potato Salad: It was good, standard potato salad, but the sandwiches and the soup were definitely the stars of the meal. If you are looking for a fresh, high-quality lunch with a unique twist, this is the spot!

There isn't a sign above the storefront so if you're not looking at the front windows you might drive past it. However don't miss this gem. Upon entering, you get this great bakery type feel with an eclectic mix of furnishings and rooms. The vibe is great, the owner is fantastic and super friendly. He's not Hungarian, but his craft is spot on to Hungarian breadmaking. I love the fact that I'm able to see all the different types of spin breads that he made- both sandwich and dessert. For my sandwich, I had chicken salad, which had a slight taste of curry perhaps?, that was delicious better than one of the franchise chicken salad places that I've been to before. It was fresh and seasoned perfectly. Everything about it was delicious. I also had the soup of the day which was a Hungarian mushroom soup, which was so so good. If it's on the specials list for soup, get it, it won't disappoint. My husband had the shrimp salad and said that the shrimp was really fresh and the sandwich was great. He was happy that he made the choice to have that for lunch. I didn't have any room for dessert because I was so full, but there were a few on the menu that looked so enticing if I'm ever in the area again, I would definitely stop and have the chicken salad again, which was really good and make sure I made room for dessert. However, there were so many other things on the menu that I would've loved to have tried. Inside was so charming I loved all the rooms and the decorations in there were just really neat and apparently there was outside seating in the back that I would've loved to have sat at, but since we were on the road, we had to keep our visit short. Try this place! So unique, so fresh and delicious.
