GAINESVILLE.   If you are looking for a real Gainesville dining find, make sure you check out Café Gardens. This unique eatery can be hard to spot, but that's precisely why residents love it. The private outdoor patio and amazing American-style dishes don’t hurt its reputation much either! Local music and art create the relaxed atmosphere for which this downtown Gainesville restaurant is known. The menu consists of burgers, salads, sandwiches and the house specialty: sweet potato fries.   (© 10Best)

While I agree the food is delicious (esp. sweet potato fries and blue cheese burger) and the atmosphere is pleasant, the last 3 times I have been there for dinner I have experienced HORRIBLE service. The place always seems understaffed, and the waitstaff is always frazzled and forgetful. Not a good place to eat if you are in a rush, and stay away from the chicken cesar salad: it is made with ICEBERG lettuce, not romaine, and my chicken had a lot of grizzle on it.

The outside sitting area is really cool. The beer selection is above average. The sweet patato fries are awesome and we had the blue cheese burger and the pesto chicken burger which were both excellent. We will be back.

Although the atmosphere is fantastic, as are the beer prices and sweet potato fries, I'm suprised that this made #1. The burgers and sandwiches are just average, and the salads are to be skipped - pure iceburg lettuce with too nothing interesting of note. The wings are pretty good, but overall, I'd say the food is average.
