The Paper Bag Deli - Gainesville, FL


 

So, I was hungry as fuck and we decided to stop by The Paper Bag Sub Shop in Gainesville, and holy shit, I’m glad we did. This place has a fun, laid-back vibe that fits a college town perfectly. The quirky décor, the lively atmosphere, and the outdoor seating area make it a great place to sit down, relax, and shove a damn good sandwich in your face. Now don’t let the casual vibe fool you, these subs are the real fucking deal. Everything we tried was packed with flavor, and that sourdough bread? Absolute badass bread. Seriously, it takes an already great sandwich and makes it taste even better.

The Soprano was fantastic. The salami was good as hell, the banana peppers had the perfect bite, and the whole thing was hot and freshly pressed like someone back there actually gives a shit about making a great sandwich. My friend got the some stupid ass salad, they seemed to really enjoy it. 

The staff was friendly as hell and super chill, almost too friendly, where you want to tell them to stop being so fucking cute. either way, it made the whole experience even better. Whether you’re a UF student looking for a quick bite or just passing through Gainesville hungry as fuck, this place is absolutely worth a stop.

The only complaint I’ve got? I wish they stayed open a little later. Because after eating here once, there’s a damn good chance you’ll be sitting there later that night thinking, “Man… I could really go for another one of those fucking sandwiches right now.” So, if you like unique sandwiches, awesome...go there. If you do not, fuck you!

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...
