Jason Wetzler (Jason Wetzler Leadership)

This market/bar/eatery earned its 5 stars, but not in the way you’d think.

Katie Torrington

Beautiful selection of meats and cheeses. My boyfriend loved the chimichurri steak. All the staff were super friendly, and the bartender made me a delicious non-alcoholic cocktail. I didn’t care for having to order at the bar, but it wasn’t a big deal either; just something to know beforehand.

Liz Rod

Dark but cozy bar. Music a lil too loud for ordering and conversation. The food, though, delish! Best shoe string fries I’ve had in a while. Burgers were cooked perfectly and the buns were just perfect warm and soft. The cocktails were refreshing and tasty for a hot summer day.

Ken Morgan

Very cute neighborhood eatery. Full bar and a great beer selection. Definitely worth checking out.

Cally House

Such a great place to bring folks that may be visiting you and you want to bring them to a place they won’t find anywhere else. Also good to just hang out as a local. Food is usually out of this world, but in my experience there are very occasionally inconsistencies such as portion size being much smaller than prior orders, or the food being a bit dried out…but it’s not that big of a deal when considering the overall and how delicious it most often is. The dill fries are addictive. Everyone I know loves the brisket most. Drinks are amazing and selection is quality. Highly highly recommend.

I got a fried green tomato sandwich and a nice salad today for lunch. First time ordering from here it was delicious.

Why Melissa

I went here after hearing a recommendation, and I was not disappointed. The bartender, waitress, and cuisine were all top-notch. The wings were excellent as well. Will return to try once more!

Mario Martinez

Someone recommended this place to me and they did not disappoint. Staff, bartender, and food were all excellent. The wings were on point too. Will be coming back to try again!

Stuber Velasquez

This is by far our favorite place while in Gainesville. Even my 91 year old mother enjoyed their old style burgers. We enjoyed both the freshness of the soup and salad. They also have a great beer selection which was awesome. The service was excellent and top notch. We hope to be back soon! Keep up the great service and fresh products.

Felix Villalobos
