re: Gainesville Bound - Where to Eat on Friday Night?

The top is my favorite place in town. It is a hippie place, but has a great beer and cocktail menu. Really good burgers. Must thave the fried corn nugget app. Plenty of non vegan food. There will be a wait here though.

The best steak place is Embers. It is very resonably priced (for a steakhouse). Blue crab bisque here is one of the best soups I have had.

101 Downtown is a good place and located in the downtown area. You have to put up with techno music playing though.

Dragonfly has really good sushi and is also in downtown area.

The swamp will be packed but also has good food and will have a gameday and college atmosphere.

Blue gill is near campus and is pretty good. Great bourbon and tequilla selections. Awesome burger with shredded spare rib and pimento cheese on top.
