16TH AVENUE DINER – American
A small neighbourhood diner on NE 16th Avenue where the griddle does most of the talking, open 363 days a year, closed only for Christmas and New Year's Day. Breakfast is the draw: the 2-2 Combo, country fried steak under homemade sausage gravy, the Big Boy, customised omelettes, pancakes, biscuits, corned beef hash and pork chops. Lunch brings burgers, a club sandwich, a patty melt, chicken and chicken tender wraps, and fried okra. Everything is cooked in front of you. Diners return for the portions, the speed and prices that undercut Gainesville's smarter brunch rooms. Unfussy, and glad you came.
