16th Avenue Diner

Frozen food but we waited as if it was fresh. After waiting an hour I was thinking this must be some really good food. I will say that the grits and eggs were decent but that was short lived because it was swimming in some kind of liquid. However, the fish and country fried steak are frozen items and tasted horrible. The staff member who waited on us was friendly. That is all.

Super friendly staff, really friendly and neighborhood vibe to the restaurant, and best of all: amazing food for a decent price!! Recommend the corn beef and has and french toast. Also the best sweet potato fries I’ve ever had, you won’t regret them if you order it.

Definitely come here over waffle house if you’re in Gainesville! I’ve been coming here for a while now, it’s a nice family run diner, servers are very friendly, food is very good, and price is good for what you get-food that costs $30 at waffle house will cost $17-$20 here-highly recommend going for cost, value, and friendly environment. As well as supporting a small business. Only downside is they’re only open for breakfast and lunch and not 24 hours :( Though I understand why, it’s still unfortunate as I would come here a lot at late night if they were open then-but I highly recommend everybody in Gainesville craving any breakfast food come here-it’s better than any of the chain diners in the area.

I’m reluctant to post this review, as this may be one of the best kept secrets for breakfast & lunch in Gville. IMO they have the best biscuit & gravy in town, and add eggs over-easy on top. Wonderful family owned spot & team.

The food at 16th Avenue Diner was outstanding, fresh, tasty, and comforting in all the right ways. The service made us feel like family, warm and genuine from start to finish. My family ordered the biscuit breakfast sandwich, French toast and the grits bowl. Every item was absolutely delicious. It was the perfect ending to a great trip with friends. We can’t wait to return next time we are in town! Highly recommend!
