16th Avenue Diner

Discovered this place two years ago and have come basically every weekend since. Such amazing, friendly, & family-like service every time we come. So so nice and accommodating. Only thing is I wish they had a bigger place so they could seat more people at a time.

Tons of options to eat at in Gainesville, esp for breakfast. This place had good reviews so I had high hopes. Cute lil dinner. It wasn't too busy when we initially got there but it was super busy by the time we left. The servers were super nice which was a plus. And made it hard to get mad at the poor delivery system. We ordered our drinks and got them fast. Food, not so much. Coffee was strong and made well. OJ tasted fresh squeezed. We placed our order for breakfast and everything came out completely scattered. We like to wait til everyone has their food to start eating but that was impossible. My daughter didn't get her chocolate chip pancake until way after we were all done eating. Like done done. Our toast and bacon didn't come out until after we were done eating too, and we had to ask for it multiple times. The food is good, like really good, but they need a better system in place to get food out. I had ham and pepper jack cheese omelet. It was yum and so were the home fries. My bf had meat lovers and he said it was good. He loved his blueberry pancake too. Super goodVeggie omelet. Delish. Country fried steak. Tasty and Good. Pancakes had a great flavor. I would give this place 2 stars because of the scattered delivery system of getting the food and 4-5 stars for food and service so I settled on 3 stars. We won't be back but it is a quite tasty breakfast joint and the people are super nice.

Without a doubt-the BEST BREAKFAST we've had out in Gville! We've found The Secret Place!

Looking for a good breakfast/brunch on game day, and this came up pretty well rated. Like others have posted, it's a small, family type establishment. Very welcoming, even the other customers were super friendly. We both got the basic breakfast, eggs, grits, bacon, sausage and a pancake. Everything came out quick and cooked well, there was one little hiccup, but it's fine. Watching them cook in front of us was great. You can tell they work well together and are good at their jobs. The line out front never really stopped, but not overwhelming, regulars stopped in, ordering "the usual" to go. The young man in charge of the counter did great and was very friendly. I would definitely recommend it. We will be back

We were seated within minutes and a family restaurant. Wonderful service and very attentive to customers making sure that you are having a good experience. They were so sweet to my little ones bringing them coloring paper. We ordered the burger, pancakes and fish. Food was delicious and portions were great. Can't wait to come back.

The food was great. I've driven fast this place a few times and told myself I should try it because I love diners. The service was excellent. It's pretty small inside and it got packed pretty quickly. I would recommend this place to anybody who wants breakfast.

Family owned and there open 363 days a year! Probably the best breakfast ive been served and great food! They had amazing service and were quick to! Would definitely come back agian!

I've been to the 16th Ave. diner a couple times nowThe food and service are amazing. The vibe of the restaurant is very casual and friendly.

Service was great and the food was so so good. They make everything at that moment after you order and our food still came out so fast. Also I always like not having to ask for things and everything you need is at the table and filled properly like the ketchup, syrup, and hot sauce. I appreciate those small details!! There potatoes, bacon, and pancakes are gas.

We finished our food before I thought to take a picture, but this place is wonderful. A great classic diner look, with amazing service and even better food. Everyone working makes sure you're taken care of.
