I will mostly post places I go regularly or really like, but also the places that have been recommended by people I know. Food is my happy place so I won’t lead you astray! lol
4 words: Hot lemon pepper wings
Thank me later! They also have fish and shrimp combo meals with or without fries.
Hits every time!
A Town Wings
It’s kind of ridiculous the not times I go here when I’m home. Try to catch the lunch specials, it’s cheaper!
Flyers Wings & Grill
There’s not a morning I’ve ever spent in Gainesville and didn’t go here for breakfast tacos!
El Indio Mexican Food in Gainesville FL
Ugh! The food is fire! And those plates are big! Worth the price plus some!
Santiago’s Restaurant
It’s a good market but they make these HUGE oxtail plates that feed 2-3 people in 1 plate! And so good! Try their soups too!

My noodle bar of choice in the city!
Midtown Noodles Bar
Good soul food with a bar and the music is a vibe! They also have Sunday and holiday brunch with live music.
JoEllen’s

Does New Orleans make bad food?? Definitely not here! Food and drinks so worth it!
Ruby Slipper
If you are ever in LA, hit them up for a good breakfast sandwich! Before going here, I did not even like eating egg sandwiches lol

So good! We usually do the hot pot only because it’s easy. I recommend the spicy soup base.
Volcano Hot Pot
I was told this place is a 10/10, so we’re going to give it a try!
