<p>I'm new this semester. My friends are coming to Gville to visit me and I wanted to take them to a great place to eat (exclusive to gainesville area). What are your best spots to eat? (holes-in-the wall...)</p>

<p>Thanks :)</p>

<p>the swamp restaurant would be the most generic answer.</p>

<p>If you are looking for a place outside the campus where locals eat then here are some of the places I have liked:
(all are outside of the campus, but not too far)</p>

<p>On a couple visits over the past year, Cody’s RoadHouse has worked out
fine. On both occasions we stopped for a late lunch after business on campus.
Cody’s is about what you would expect in a college town. I’d stop again.</p>

<p>The Swamp is the close to campus, over-priced, Gator place to go for out of towners.</p>

<p>I would recommend The Top—downtown Gainesville—great mix of age groups–kitschy, eclectic interior (think 50’s lamps and crazy decor)–as well as a really interesting menu from the basics(burgers) to the gourmet. It is always busy, even during the week.
I am bringing my sister from Maryland to G-ville on Weds. nite and we are going to go there with my two UF students…always fun and a good time…Probably a 20 minute wait during the week…will thoroughly enjoy the wait in the bar, looking at all the funny lamps and light up signs.</p>

<p>If you like Italian, stop by Fresco at 3117 SW 34th Street. Small restaurant, but very nice and they also have outdoor tables. </p>
