Today I went in and spent $14 on a burger and fries through the drive thru. I was driving to Lake…read moreCity when I discovered my fries had no salt or seasoning on them. My "cheeseburger" was just unseasoned burger and cheese on a bun. No veggies or condiments. It was also squished. I am not sure who I made angry but they took it out on my meal. I called to speak with a manager. The girl answering the phone put someone on the phone, clearly NOT a manager. He thought it was funny, said he did not know who made the meal but knew exactly what I had. Funny. He said he didn't know who made it but sorry. Wasn't sorry. I used to love going there but guess I will be eating elsewhere from now on. I hope the new owner is aware of the staff he is hiring.

Was really excited about the opening of this new restaurant and maybe it was just the day we came,…read morebut they were nowhere near ready to open. We waited 1.5 hours for our food (burgers only). The place was very busy but that is awfully too long to wait for 3 burgers. The waiter was clearly overwhelmed and apologized to us so many times. The burgers were just okay. I do appreciate that they had gluten free options though (pizza and buns)

This restaurant has some really solid Jamaican food - I honestly regret not giving it a try sooner…read more I have found myself becoming a regular, especially on days where they have Curry Goat and Brown Stew Chicken. I've tried a several of these dishes, as well as the Oxtails (not pictured) which were incredible. The quality has been on point, with the meat tender and falling right off the bones. The prices are fair, considering portion sizes as well. I've found a large meal can easily serve two people or could be two different meals for one. I also enjoy supporting local businesses, and would strongly recommend Di Big Jerk's food. The environment was also quiet, with ample places to sit making it a good option for dine-in or take-out. The time to receive food after placing the order was relatively quick, with the order consistently being ready in about 5 minutes or less. All in all, if you're looking for solid Jamaican food - this is a great option. There's such a large variety of

So I swung by Di Big Jerk, this Jamaican lunch spot right in the middle of town, and I've got to…read moresay, it's a great option if you're looking for some island vibes in your meal. One thing to keep in mind is that parking can be a bit of a challenge. It's not impossible, but you might need to circle the block a time or two to find a spot. Once you're inside, you'll notice it's a counter service kind of place, which is perfect for a quick grab-and-go lunch. They seem to do a lot of business with food delivery services, too, so you'll see a steady stream of couriers coming and going. If you do want to stick around and eat, there is a seating area in an adjoining section, but I opted to take my food to go. I ordered the Jammin Egg Roll with fries, and overall, it was a solid choice. The food was decent, not necessarily the best I've ever had, but it hit the spot and was definitely filling. I mean, sometimes you just need something that's going to satisfy your hunger and give you a little energy boost, and Di Big Jerk delivers on that front. If you're in the area and you're craving some Jamaican flavors, I'd say Di Big Jerk is worth checking out. Just be prepared for the parking situation, and you'll be all set. It's not a fancy place, but it's a great spot for a casual, no-frills lunch that's a little bit different from the usual suspects.

The buffet included wings, grilled chicken, burgers, mac and cheese, fruit and veggie platters and potatoe salad. Everything was delicious! Thank you again for an evening to always remember!

The staff was polite, the food however, very disappointing…read more The quality does not meet the value paid. The burger was so small; a "quarter pound burger,"yeah, maybe before it was way over cooked and definitely, severely over priced. Should have just gone to Dick Mondell's on the other side of town and just waited in their line. At least then I wouldn't have left a restaurant still hungry after spending $20 for just me. It would have been $30 if I would have built the burger I really wanted. At least the music was ok.

The restaurant was busy but we didn't have to wait too long to be seated and there was plenty of…read morespace to comfortably wait outside. The interior was cute and our table was clean. The coffee was good and the food tasted great. There was an issue with our order and it took a very long time to get our food. Even the server was confused why the other tables that ordered after us got theirs before us. Once we were done eating we sat at an empty table as the busboy offered to take away our plates and cups as we continued to wait on our check. A different server dropped the check at our table and someone else finally came by and took our money. We will still try again at a future date since the food itself was so good and hope for a better overall experience.

Umn yumn!!! Chicken sammy was Jam Alive delicious!! Best one I've had in awhile. Seems like they're mostly a breakfastie lunch kinda place. Bowls and burritos on the menu, a few sammiches. They're not exactly your typical breakfast spot though with some nicely elevated choices. Super friendly, helpful, and nice too. So happy they're here and doing what they do. Really looking forward to enjoying them again and again. Btw, there's plenty of parking out back (except when they're super busy) and lots of street parking out front up and down main street Newberry. Question seems to come up in the feeds I read for whatever reason. Same as finding contact info and deets, had to rely on gossipy Facebook forums to find them previously but they're very new and likely soft opening.

We will be getting a Peach Valley Cafe in our hometown fairly soon. We were in Gainesville and saw…read morethis location, so decided to try it to see if it would be worth a visit when the new location opens. We had never been to one, but it definitely passed the test! We ordered online and the menu is so vast. It was hard to choose. My husband got the biscuits and gravy (amazing) and I got a bacon and cheese omelette (huge and equally amazing)! We also ordered grits (OMG) and apple fritter barrels (meh). The items were packed with care, even extra butter for the grits and biscuits were included, and everything was exactly as ordered. My husband went in to pick up our breakfast and said it's really cute inside. Now we have a new restaurant to look forward to, but may just have to make the drive to Gainesville again before ours opens locally. It was that good!

My party arrived on probably the busiest shift of the restaurant's life (Sunday, August 16, day…read moreafter almost all the undergrads in Gainesville move in) around 1:50pm, with their closing time being 2:30pm. Initially, the hostess told us the kitchen was closed and they were no longer seating, but after another party walked in after us, she changed her mind, said we needed to order as quickly as possible, and sat us. Granted, we of course would've left because we understand it's getting closer to closing and we wanted to respect that, but it was a strange switch up, and we saw her sit multiple other groups after us well up until 2:15pm, so I wonder what that was about. I'm not docking anything, though, because I'm sure she was trying to look out for the team and the chaos they had probably been through all morning, and understand as a service worker you'd probably not want another party coming in anyways 40 minutes before close. Because of this, we tried to order as fast as we possibly could, but our waitress was incredibly kind, patient, and told us to take our time. It was again, very interesting with the vibe change. Regardless, we ordered quickly, and our food came out within 5 minutes, and was great. I got the club sandwich, and enjoyed every bite of it. The fries felt fresh and were extremely crisp, and everyone else in my party enjoyed their food too. Our waitress was sweet, attentive, and our food was delicious. I'd love to go back on a different day, especially earlier in the morning, and get a full experience of the restaurant. We left at 2:35pm (not the last table left, thankfully), so a rapid in and out, and we very much appreciate the staff for still serving us and treating us with respect, even on what I'm sure was a very stressful Sunday.

What a very nice place! I ordered the French toast and grits, and they make it with French bread!!…read moreWow! I have to say, up front, that they don't take credit cards as payment, but they do take Venmo or Zelle, so be prepared, or bring cash! The food is very down-home. It tastes just like it does when you are eating in your pajamas on Saturday morning! The decor is very eclectic and interesting. There are books, art and nick-nacks throughout the restaurant and even in the courtyard. The courtyard is special (see pictures) It would be perfect for you and your out-of-town guests to come and eat and hang out in peace, enjoying a lovely place to eat! Friendly staff, chill vibes!

It wasn't…read moretoo busy, which made the whole vibe even better .. it was calm, cozy, and a little artsy inside with such a unique charm that makes you want to linger. We both ordered waffles for breakfast, and I went for the blueberry ones with eggs and potatoes on the side. Everything was spot on. The potatoes were perfect, soft on the inside, crispy on the outside, seasoned so well they were borderline addictive. And the eggs? Fluffy, light, and cooked the way eggs should be. I'm so used to getting overcooked eggs at other places, so having them done right felt like a treat. The waffles were the star though. Crunchy exterior, soft warm center, and real blueberries in every bite. Absolutely delicious. Service was just as impressive. Our server was kind, attentive, and made the whole experience even better without ever hovering. Overall, East End Eatery easily earned this five-star rating. I had this on my must visit list of places in Gainesville and it did not disappoint. A must-visit breakfast spot in Gainesville,I'll definitely be back.
