- AAbbeyTampa / Central Florida West •4 reviews5.0Dined on May 2, 2025We had a fantastic experience at BJ’s Brewhouse in Gainesville! They graciously accommodated our large party during a very busy graduation weekend, and everything went smoothly. All of our orders were correct, and the service was exceptional. Our waitress was attentive, kind, and incredibly accommodating—especially helpful with dietary needs, including gluten-free options. The food was great, and the atmosphere was lively and fun. Highly recommend for both small gatherings and large celebrations!More infoBJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse - GainesvillePrice: Moderate• American• Gainesville•4
- MMercedesOrlando / Central Florida East •1 review5.0Dined on Apr 26, 2025It’s a good place to take the kids while trying to enjoy a date with your significant other. The only downside is that one person has to stay at the table at all times — it would be better if they allowed an open tab system, instead of worrying about people running off without paying.Other than that, the food was good, the environment was great, the service was excellent, and the kids had a lot of fun playing games while my husband and I enjoyed each other’s company.More infoDave & Buster's - GainesvillePrice: Moderate• American• Gainesville•4.4
- PPaulDetroit / Eastern Michigan •15 reviews4.0Dined on Apr 14, 2025Specialty cocktails were quite tasty. I enjoyed my Caesar salad and ribeye but my dinner companion was less happy with her brussel sprouts and salmon. Decor and view were very pleasant.More infoCovey Kitchen + CocktailsPrice: Moderate• American• Gainesville•4.2
