Mac's Drive Thru

We made the drive from Tampa just to get our Mac’s fix and spend the day exploring Gainesville—and yep, it was totally worth it. The prices have definitely gone up since our last visit (whose haven’t?), but the food is still just as crave-worthy. The burger? Fresh, juicy, and everything you want in a classic drive-thru bite. We added a lemonade to our order and were glad we did—it was super refreshing and a great size. At $3.99, it felt a tiny bit steep, especially with no refills, but hey, it hit the spot. Our only gripe? The fries. For $2.99, we were expecting more than what looked like a glorified kids’ size—think McDonald’s $1 fries, but not quite as full. Still tasty, but not really fry-lover approved in the value department. All in all, Mac’s is still a solid go-to for a nostalgic

This place changed what I know about hamburgers. When I first moved to Gainesville (2023), I had folks telling me it's great, don't know what you're missing, etc. I thought it was all typical preference stuff, even with the high ratings. Then a coworker took me there and boy howdy, I was hooked and telling people myself! To make a not great but very assured comparison, the greatness of their burgers are akin to Waffle House hash browns, legit.

Amazing amazing amazing!!! Love this place! I don't review until I have tried something at least 3 times. Third time was just as delicious as the First! When you see a lineup of cars for a couple blocks and foot traffic lines at the window, you know you found that hidden gem of a place!!! I promise I will post pictures next time. I just got so excited these last three trips I didn't think about it until I was done and licking my fingers 🤌🍔🔥😋🤤

I saw that this place had really high reviews so I had to try it. When we pulled up they had a line of 15 cars which was a good sign. We waited in line for about 20 minutes. We both ordered the double cheeseburger and fries. You can add lettuce, tomato, onion, pickle, ketchup or mustard. We thought the burger was delicious and such a great price. Shoestring fries are my favorite, they were crispy but could have used a little more salt. We felt it was definitely worth the wait and will go back again.

Hidden gem! I was passing through the area and noticed a whole lot of cars in line. I said to myself. I bet this is a good place to eat. You can not eat inside here.. It is strictly a drive through. But let me tell you it was worth the weight in line! It was really good food plus it was made just how I like it. If you are in the area, you definitely need to stop here and try their lunch.
