MACS DRIVE THRU – American
A Gainesville institution of the plainest kind: a drive-thru window at 129 NW 10th Avenue that Glen McMillan opened with his sons Jon and Ken in 1987 and that has been grinding out burgers ever since. Order it Mac's Way with lettuce, tomato, onion and mayo, or All-the-Way and take the pickle. Everything is cooked to order, including the hot ham and cheese, the chicken sandwich and a fried fish sandwich that comes with house-made tartar sauce. Fries exactly as you ask for them, crispy or soft. Weekday lunches, no frills, and a burger locals will defend.
