The 12 Best Restaurants in Gainesville, Florida | Eater Miami

"The Social at Midtown offers the convenience of being just feet away from the University of Florida campus. It offers an expansive space with indoor, outdoor, and a rooftop bar, drawing in many university students and making it a hot spot for gameday events, especially since it’s situated directly across the Ben Hill Griffin Stadium. Outside of football season, the restaurant and sports bar frequently hosts packed parties for events like Saint Patrick’s Day and the Fourth of July. But food isn’t an afterthought, with appetizers and entrees ranging from $9 to $15, with tater tots smothered in chili and sweet potato-fry poutine being barbecue favorites. Wednesdays, in particular, make for popular nights at the restaurant with karaoke and its popular cavatappi mac and cheese for $5."
