What's your budget looking like?? What kinda food you looking for? In Gainesville, or on the way there?

In Gainesville and want a decent steak, go to Mark's downtown. Want something cheap (under $10), go get the fried catfish special @ Adam's Ribs with collard greens and baked beans......on 13th (north of University by a mile or two).

Cafe Risqué. You'll love the naked waitresses.

We're going to be at Mark's Prime Steakhouse. I believe it is located downtown.

Mark's is the best restaurant in town, but you'll need reservations.

Blue Water Bay, which is downtown and near Mark's, is surprisingly good. They have boiled crawfish - and it was quite good. I lived in Lafayette for 20 years and raised crawfish and have boiled my share - and my wife and I were impressed. Show these crackers how to suck the heads.

Harry's downtown is fun and has good fried crawfish and a good oyster po-boy, but mediocre redbeans and etoufee. New Orleans theme.

Mexico Lindo is excellent for Mexican food and is inexpensive - but it is about ten miles from campus.

All the traditional chains are here - mostly on Archer Road: chili's, bonefish, Fridays, carraba's, Olive Garden, etc.

I would stay away from places near campus (except for Mildred's) unless you are a student .

Sonny's is good, but Back Yard Bar B Que in Newberry is very good. But it is about 20 miles from campus.

Dragonfly had some good scenery when we went back in 2008.
