Hurricane BTW

Hurricane BTW (Burgers, Tacos, Wings) is a solid little joint in Gainesville that keeps it simple and gets the damn job done. Nothing fancy, just good, straightforward food and a staff that’s pleasant as hell and actually seems happy you showed up.

My family and I went full send and ordered garlic parmesan wings, deep-fried pickles (because obviously), a single burger, and boneless mild wings. The food came out fast as shit, which is always a win when you’re starving and slightly cranky. And honestly? It was pretty damn good for the price.

They’ve got a ridiculous lineup of wing sauces, so if you can’t find one you like, that’s on you. Plus fries and waffle fries to go with your goodies, because regular fries are great, but waffle fries just hit different. It’s science or some shit.

There’s a nice outdoor patio for those “Florida weather isn’t trying to kill us today” days, and a smaller indoor dining area that’s cozy without feeling like you’re eating in someone’s closet. The menu’s got something for everyone, salads if you’re pretending to be healthy, five different burgers, a variety of tacos, and chicken tenders for the tiny humans who only eat beige food.

They’ve also got wine and bottled and craft beers on tap, so the adults can keep things interesting. Overall, the place is clean, the food is satisfying as hell, and it’s an easy spot to kick back and crush some wings without overthinking life.

If you want to scope out the full menu and start planning your next cheat day, check out their website and prepare to say, “Well shit, now I’m hungry again.”

Brown's Country Buffet - Alachua, Florida

  Listen, I’m not exaggerating when I say this was one of the damn best buffets I’ve ever shoved my face at for legit home-cooked food. New people took over and it is not the same. The fried chicken was amazing before the takeover, now it's just OK. The chicken tastes decent, its just not what I am used to. Tucked in Alachua, this place was a freaking gem. Yeah, it gets busy as hell at lunch, so prepare to park your ass in the back forty. But here’s the kicker, somehow I’ve never had to wait for a table, even when it’s packed like a can of fucking sardines. There are three whole sections, so seating’s never a pain in the balls. Okay, the decor’s seen better decades, it could use a serious update, but who the hell cares when the food is this good. The staff are sweet as pie and on top of their game. Now, the food,holy crap, the food. They’ve got a full salad bar loaded with tasty bits, and the hot bar? Good lord. Greens, mac ’n’ cheese, rice, mashed potatoes, you name it. Like I sa...

Woodyard Grill - Newberry, Florida

  The Woodyard Grill, what can I say, the place has been around for a bit, does it have it's shit together? I went for lunch and was honestly impressed as hell with what they did to the building. It’s nice, inviting, and doesn’t look like a place you’d regret walking into. When you pull into the parking lot, the smell alone punches you in the face (in the best possible way) and makes you want to order one of everything like some kind of hungry fucking maniac. The open bar and outdoor patio? Absolute badass addition. Newberry needed that shit. We ended up eating inside, and the place was busy as hell , which is always a good sign. The server was super nice and attentive without being an annoying fuck, and the place was clean and well kept. The menu? Damn near everything. Chicken, ribs, burgers, fish, pork chops, sandwiches, if you can’t find something to eat, that’s a you problem. I went with the quarter chicken, mashed potatoes, and green beans. The food came out pretty quick c...

Skip's Delicatessen - Lake Butler, Florida

Skip’s Delicatessen is hands-down one of my favorite damn places to eat in Lake Butler. I finally made it there for lunch with some friends, and let me tell you, I should’ve hauled my ass there sooner. The menu is big as hell, packed with more sandwich options than you can reasonably process without short-circuiting. Every kind of lunch meat you can think of is ready to go. Turkey? Yup. Ham? Obviously. Roast beef? You bet your hungry ass. They’ve also got meatball subs and Italian sausage subs that’ll make you question every sad desk lunch you’ve ever eaten. They’ve got salads if you’re feeling responsible, cookies if you’re not, and a bunch of other good stuff to round it out. But let’s talk about the real MVP, the chips. You can get a basket of chips loaded up with pepperings and seasoning on top, and holy crap are they addictive. I don’t know what kind of wizardry they sprinkle on those things, but they’re dangerously good. Like, “don’t sit me near the basket or I’ll eat the whol...
