Gainesville Restaurant Guide

Having eaten here years ago, and then a recent visit, I have to say the new owners are 'spot on' in serving the same fare from years gone by. Fresh hand patted hamburgers, and fresh cut fries. Very Good! The service varies at times, but I've never been dissapointed.

I cannot remember when I first at here. It was in my early boyhood and I have been eating there ever since. Even during the times some of the owners thought the food needing changing. AAARGGhhh! The new owners have done a wonderful job bringing back the Collegiate Grill. While it will never be exactly the same as when the Brown's ran it. (I still miss the thumb indention in my hamburger bun that was always there when Mr. Brown cooked.) The current owners have done a great job getting it close. I also miss the fact that I can no longer order a "mix" (orange and grape drink mixed together for those who don't remember or never knew). I highly recommend it for those that may have never tried it. Wonderful hamburgers, french fries, and slaw dogs. I also recommend the "chopped steak" sandwich. Basically a hamburger with tomato and mayo.
