Collegiate Grill

We visited the Collegiate Grill for the first time, but it won't be our last. The menu is limited to hamburgers, hotdogs, hand cut fries, onion rings, milkshakes, and a grilled cheese or chicken sandwich. However, the choices for those items are limitless! Our group sampled all of it, and everything was delicious. The hand cut fries alone are worth the trip. Prices are very reasonable. It's a great place for a quick and delicious lunch. Parking is easy as there is a large, free, parking garage right across the street. If you're in Gainesville go grab a bite at the Collegiate Grill. You won't regret it.

One of the best burger spots in Gainesville. The meat seems to be fresh and not process. It has so much flavor that I typically eat there at least once a week.

Classic American diner that has been in business since 1947. Went here for lunch with a friend a few days ago. I was impressed with the modern/1950’s atmosphere inside. There were also old Gainesville High School sports memorabilia on the walls which was pretty unique. I ordered their special of the day which was a “Texas” burger that contained a single beef patty with cheese, 2 fried onion rings, and some bbq sauce. It also came with fries and a drink. My friend had a simple bacon double cheeseburger along with a milkshake. I also added a cheese dog to try. Both of our burgers were delicious with the meat being juicy. Fries were cooked to perfection. The milkshake was old fashioned in appearance, but was great nonetheless. Overall, the food and service was great in this retro/modern diner

This is a great old nestalgic place with usually good food and service. Today … the sweet tea tasted like mold … I ordered a chili cheese dog and the cheese (slice) wasn’t even melted … I asked if I could swap out my tea and she just told me to dump it in the drain tray under the cokes… so I did but then I just walked out. :-( Really disappointed

Since the new owners are gone and they are new ones now, the food is not the same. Last time I went I got a hamburger with slaw and onions ketchup mustard pickles, or that is what I ordered My hamburger didn't have any slaw on it but it had pickles and onions. The fries were crispy not normal homemade fries. My husband's hamburger was okay. I have ordered again this is my second time since the new changeover and once again the french fries are definitely not the same they are overcooked and very crispy. My hamburger which was supposed to have slaw onions ketchup mustard pickles has a lot of onions like a half a teaspoon of slaw and ketchup mustard pickles. I'm not sure who is ever cooking understands that here in the south we love our slaw and if we're going to pay for it we should at leas
