Brick Street Tavern

Okay, this review only applies to their burgers. I haven't ordered anything else and I can't imagine why u would. MASSIVE amount of food!!! Their burgers are well seasoned and dressed to impress. I can choose from several different buns, I recommend the honey wheat. I usually find wheat buns dry And not so tasty but these are sweet and yummy! I added grilled onions and jack cheese plus the usual accoutrements but they have a long list of goodies u can add to ur burger. Price is in the $9 range but I can put away some food and should have shared a burger with my sister. They have a salad bar with a decent selection of options and some premDe salads that u can add on to ur order instead of chips or fries. Pretty quick service but keep in mind it's a bar/pub so it has that atmosphere to it. Don't expect 5 star dining in gville tx. But for a cheeseburger, I can honestly say I have never had better

I've only gotten to eat here twice, but I love it.  I've had the chicken fry and a hamburger. The chicken fry was huge and tasted great. The fries were good. The next time, I got a cheeseburger with mushrooms on a jalapeno bun. Oh my word! I could only eat half of it, but it was wonderful. The bun was a little sweet and tasted home baked. The jalapeno gave it a subtle kick.

The atmosphere is average. Since I'm from Gainesville, I have seen old friends each time I've gone, so that's nice. It's kind of a combination of favorite local watering hole and rustic restaurant. The wait staff is  very friendly and everything is clean. I suspect that if you went once a week, they'd know your name and favorite drink pretty soon.

A Facebook friend highly recommended this place for their burgers.  I checked out the Yelp reviews and decided to find out for my self.  First of all, if I know it, I would never visit a place that allows smoking.  One of the Yelp reviews said the place smelled like a mixture of "old grease and cigarette smoke", so I went in with trepidation.  Got there right at 11 AM on a Saturday.  Was promptly seated in the booth to the side of the check-out counter near the bay window by a very pleasant waitress who loves working there and in fact had been there for ten months while attending the local college.  I came for the burger, but ordered the Chicken Fried Steak.  If they got 'em, I "judge" a restaurant by their CFS.  For Mexican food places, I "judge" them by their chili rellenos.  My wife ordered a burger and fries.  Regarding the "smoky atmosphere"... nope!  I have a very sensitive smeller and could not detect grease or smoke.  The CFS was very generous, the crust very crispy, the white gravy very smooth... overall it moved to near the top of my list for best CFS!  I did get to try a bit of the burger and it was exceptional.  We both liked the French fries.  Yes, Brick Street Tavern gets my five stars.  We look forward to dining there again.
