The food was great 👍 The staff went out of their way to make our meal wonderful. I had chicken fried steak sandwich and salad, was delicious 😋 My Friend had Shrimp Po Boy, was perfect 👌 We started our meal with Fried Green Tomatoes, with a excellent sauce of them !! We all three ended our meal with a silence of Coconut Cake, perfect in every way. Thank You again for a great meal 🥘 Will return soon for another Excellent Meal served by a great staff 👍 Cassie is a wonderful person and made our visit even better 👍
In town for Gator softball games and found this hidden gem on Trip Advisor. Casual and easy choice for me, my 14-year-old niece and a local friend. Fried green tomatoes were small wedges of tomatoes in a yummy coating. I had the grilled salmon special and the chef prepared my substitute vegetables request perfectly. My niece had a huge fried fish sandwich and my friend had beet salad with chicken added. We were all members of clean plate club! And our server and the manager kept my glass full of fabulous unsweetened ice tea! Keep an eye open for the parking garage entrance on 13th Street ... that was the hardest part of the experience! We'll be back next time in town.

I hosted a bridal shower luncheon in The Barn room. Very spacious room with separate bathroom served the purpose I was hoping for!! Liz was very pleasant and accommodating through the entire planning process. Now let's get into the food!! EVERYONE in our party raved over their food and how good it was. There were 2 people that ordered the shrimp & grits that returned their meal for something else, but Alex was more than accommodating with that. I definitely recommend you try them out! Food, drinks and service was on point! Can't wait to go back!
My wife and I stopped in to Blue Gill Quality Food in Gainesville Florida on a Friday evening for dinner. There was no wait and we were seated immediately although there were customers scattered about in the restaurant and at the bar, it was not crowded by any means. The service was great, the food was awesome, and the drinks were good. For an appetizer we ordered the blue cheese chips. For entrées we ordered the fish special and the Blue Gill burger. The food was brought out in a timely manner and the appetizer and entrées had a good time spacing between them. They have a great selection of well drinks, wine, and local beers. I ordered the coffee stout that was on tap and it was delicious. Next time you’re in Gainesville you should definitely check out a Blue Gill Quality Food.
Neat and tidy interior, friendly staff, and terrific meals!
Quiet atmosphere, daily specials, 3-6 happy hour. All day happy hour for Shands employees
Me and three of my friends graduated from pharmacy school in May 2022 and Blue Gill hosted us and all our families/friends for a dinner following the ceremony (~30 people). Their manager, Liz, did an amazing job of coordinating with us and working on all the logistics leading up to the event. The staff was accommodating, polite, and provided excellent service. The food was quality, presented in good timing, and the main dishes and appetizers all arrived hot and fresh from the kitchen. They had a fantastic bar and lovely atmosphere. Their space was spotlessly clean and open. We truly appreciated their premier service and how they made our graduation day even more special. Thank you to the Blue Gill Team for all your hard work! We had a lovely time!
We used "The Barn" at Blue Gill for a retirement party this past weekend and everything was perfect! The food and drinks were absolutely delicious, the service was fantastic, the party room was lovely, and the communication with the Blue Gill team was excellent throughout the planning process. Our favorite foods/drinks were the fish dip, pimento cheese plate, margaritas, shrimp and grits, pork rind fried chicken, and the strawberry shortcake! I HIGHLY recommend Blue Gill for your next event!
To have had Blue Gill cater our wedding was such a delight! Claudine and Bert's expertise exceeded all expectations. Not only were the selections delectable and highly complimented by our guests, the care with which Claudine assisted us through menu and set up suggestions (and more) was immensely appreciated. I highly recommend them for both in-restaurant dining and any catering needs. They set the bar way high, and still managed to surpass it!
Will update with photos once we receive them :-)
I cannot recommend this place enough. We happened to stop here otw from West Palm to Texas. Before we even got there, they were more than accommodating. I had called ahead to see if they had any outdoor seating because we were traveling with our pugs. They put a table outside just for us! Anyway, I’m not exaggerating when I say that the food and drinks were the best I’ve had since moving to Florida 4 years ago. My husband and I shared the short ribs, blue cheese salad, and fried cauliflower. Literally the best we have ever had. Please support this business. You won’t be disappointed!!!
My family and I just had a late lunch and it was delicious. Our server/bartender Carol was very attentive and knowledgeable, answered all questions and mixed the most awesome cocktails. We will definitely be back; in fact, we’ve been coming since before the pandemic.
