The best place we ate during our five day stay. Josh, our waiter, was spot on. St. Augustine fried shrimp were very lightly battered and perfectly cooked. My husband had the sirloin dinner. Cooked just right and very tender. Good cole slaw. Hearty portions. Exceeded expectations.
I visit my daughter in Gainesville several times a year and we always have dinner here. The food is delicious, and the service is friendly and quick. I recommend making a reservation because this place can be very busy, because its that good!
Had a late lunch here. I had fried catfish. It was good. My wife had a burger and she liked it as well. The restaurant was quiet and clean. The staff was efficient and friendly. The portions were more than either of us could eat. This is the second time that I've eaten here and I will return whenever I pass through Gainesville.
Some of the best fish dishes I've had out. My wife had the salmon florentine and I had the seared tuna rare both dishes were off the hook. We met some great people at the bar and both the bartender's (young women going to school in the area and and a young man from Michigan) that took care of us were fantastic.
Fantastic!! I took 29 family and friends out for our 40th anniversary yesterday and the the staff and food were fantastic. No one has a complaint. Food cane out hot all at the same time. Yum
Looking for a decent localish restaurant and found this one on TripAdvisor. Pricing was comparable for the food, atmosphere, and service. Some items are old school and could use some revamping. We ordered the Mahi dip which my hubby loved, I ordered the crab dip but was really a spinach dip with some crab, and the crab cake. Entrées: Thai Peanut Shrimp- yummmers Stuffed Grouper- good but the green pepper in the filling over powered the dish Steak- originally had the balsamic reduction butter and it was awful. But they redid the steak with no sauce. Deserts are frozen but good.
I am back in Ohio and I wish they could deliver here! Wonderful menu and VERY reasonable prices. Our server "Tee" was fun, and that is so important. The light breading on the fried gatortail is perfect. Gainesville is lucky to have this restaurant.
Northwest Grill, located in Gainesville, FL, is a true ?! I arrived 3:30-4PM and had the pleasure of being served by Sean, who is both attentive and knowledgeable of the menu. When I arrived, it was moderately busy with no wait. To quench my palate and thirst, I chose the Mimosa Special, $8 for 4: Peach, Orange, Cranberry, & Pineapple, all with a perfect balance of champagne and juice, with a glass of ice water and a "bowl of lemons". I was, quickly, served a soft, warm, honey wheat loaf of bread and real honey butter, shortly followed by a House salad, made with fresh, baby spinach, arugula, and dark-green, leafy Romaine lettuce, red peppers, plump, cherry tomatoes, sliced red onions, sweet cranberries, and shaved almonds, with choice of dressing: I wisely chose lemon-feta vinegarrette. For my main course, I enjoyed the St Augustine Shrimp, butterflied, lightly battered, then delicately fried to perfection, with fresh, steamed broccoli. This dish will delight any palate. I finished my meal off with the light and creamy Tiramisu and the sweet and fluffy Pineapple Upside-down Cake! I give the NORTHWEST GRILL ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ for Quality of food and service, Friendly and Attentive Staff, Cleanliness (including restrooms), Location, and Price/Value.
I love Northwest Grill and order frequently via Bite Squad. However, yesterday I was not happy with my order. The breading on the fried catfish was much darker and saltier than usual, and the sweet tea size shrank from jumbo to very small. UPDATE: It is now 4 days later, and I ordered the same thing again. The fried catfish is back to its' normal greatness. However, this time I can't complain about the small size of the tea; rather, it's the fact that they did not send my tea at all! 2ND UPDATE: Ordered again yesterday. Catfish was great. Tea was jumbo size again, but this time they sent me unsweet tea! Why can they not get the tea orders correct?
Top notch locally owned fish and seafood grill. I had the stuffed grouper with cheese grits and slaw. Others had Fried Shrimp with Fries and Slaw. The food was simply outstanding. The service was top notch for our party of 8. The prices are very reasonable.
