been here twice and will probably keep coming back! one time was dine in and the other was pickup. the line system is awesome and really makes sure you know what you're getting on your pizza. all the staff members are super nice and gets your pizza done really quickly. they got everything right on my online pickup order too! i have a gluten and lactose sensitivity and im so glad they have accommodations for that!! (gf crust, vegan cheese). also i adore their cups, the lids are awesome and it feels so much better than a traditional fast food cup for some reason. overall really cute place and would definitely recommend!

The restaurant had a person vacuuming while we ate (at lunch). The food was not stellar. I would describe the restaurant as gluten friendly, but not a super safe gluten free environment, especially for celiacs.

This is one of the nicest places in town, and they are very accommodating if you have vegan or gluten free dietary restrictions. I'm a local. Dragonfly is great, and it's also consistently great. I'm convinced that Kayla is the smartest, fastest, friendliest server in town, I don't know how she manages to do it, even on a busy Friday night, but she will take care of you and make sure your experience is beyond all expectations. See you soon, Dragonfly.

I'm giving this a 5 only because of the care Outback took post-major event. The MP was great and the following experiences were awesome... 1) We had a rough experience on my 30th birthday, getting accidentally gluten-ed and then having a really aggressive manager, Ellie (?), refuse to do anything to help us other than give us a couple of expired coupons for a Bloomin' Onion (that I can't eat). We gave them back and, when we called afterward to speak to a different manager and were put on hold so a refund could be issued, she picked up the phone ("you're the one with the gluten problem, right? Yeah, I was the one who gave you coupons already for your trouble"). She told us off, saying that "it's common sense, obviously you can get any appetizer at any of our locations, even if it is expired. We'd honor it." She said we didn't need a refund and they'd pay for my hospital bills if I decided to go. It was just really disappointing that anyone, especially a manager, would treat someone so unkindly. 2) HOWEVER.... since then (and being helped by the MP, who is amazing), we've had both AJ and Brianna on the two most recent visits and felt the need to say something because they are AMAZING. Seriously, ASK FOR THEM. They made sure to enter my meal in as "Gluten Free" to ensure I didn't have a kitchen mix-up, ensured it was safe and the temp we enjoy when it hit the table, and really made sure we didn't need anything throughout our meal. They were so kind and personable, they really interacted with my kid (which is SO great to see :) ), they remembered us from the previous experience, and they made sure we had a really wonderful and welcoming experience. I said something to the manager on shift, but I want to put something here too.

The best burgers in Gainesville! So delicious. It was an affordable gourmet experience. One of the most delicious burger & fries I’ve ever had. You get to customize all of the toppings on your burger. The fries were hot, crispy, made to order and unbelievably delicious. It was the best burger experience - they had beef, chicken, salmon and vegetarian patty options, also lettuce wrap + gluten free bun options. I’ll be going there regularly - perfect for daily lunches & dinners. Super cheap considering the very high quality & so yummy!
