Goldie's Burgers

When visiting The Depot in Gainesville, swing by to try the daily special at Goldie's. The indoor/outdoor seating allows us to relax before getting on with the chores of the day. The staff is always friendly and helps with menu decisions. We share the fries but secretly I want my own order as they are delish!

Goldie's Burgers is a solid choice for food when in the depot park area. They have vegetarian options, as well as multiple sides. The onion rings are amazing and exactly what you would want from an onion ring. The service is counter service, but prompt, clear, and polite. I've never had a bad experience at Goldies, and recommend it if you're looking for burgers and fried sides.

Ok my husband is a burger SNOB. He was obsessed with this burger and for good reason it was delicious. I am so glad we picked this for my birthday lunch after we went to the natural history museum. We both got the double cheese burgers and my husband added bacon to his. The fries were also really good and whatever seasoning was on it was a perfect blend of sweet/hint of spice. The prices were reasonable and I appreciated the birthday note! Highly recommend if you're in the area!!!

Had the patty melt with jalapenos and thought it was just okay. The loaded tots were pretty good. I'd come back and try something else, but I was a bit disappointed after friends talked it up.

I was on my way to Tallahassee and decided to stop at a fun place in Gainesville for lunch. The Depot Park has a wine/beer restaurant, and a burger restaurant. Since the beer and wine place was closed for a private event, I decided to give Goldies a try. I ordered the 4 piece chicken tenders at the counter, and a can of diet Coke. I sat at a table on the porch and a couple minutes later, the tenders came. It came pretty hot and juicy with a side of the requested ranch sauce. The tenders were good and had an ample amount of breading, but found the seasoning was a bit salty. I found the ranch sauce was vegan, but it did have a decent flavor and was creamy. However, for 6.25 for 4 small pieces, I found it to be a bit expensive. The counter service was very friendly. The attendant was a bit busy at the back, but acknowledged me. After a minute, he was at the front and greeted me. My tenders were served to my table once it was ready. He asked if I needed anything else, but all were available at the counter. The dining area is pretty small with about 4-5 tables in an open aired porch. At least it was covered and had fans. There was a TV playing an animated movie, and they had a Florida gator kiddie ride for 50 cents. The kiddie ride was generously long (about 2-3 minutes) and gentle adults are also welcome to ride. The beer and wine place was next door, as well as a convenience store. At the park, there is a big playground and water area for the kids, and a pond with a fountain. The pond has real alligators relaxing there. There is a walking trail, but beware of the alligators, snakes, and biting bugs. Parking is free at the park, but can be cramped. Instead, you can park across the street and walk to the depot. Goldies is a nice burger joint at the Depot, and the kids seem to enjoy it as well. Next time, I will try the burgers, but I wish they had other burger meats other than beef. The service is friendly and while the dining area is small, the atmosphere looks cool. It's close to the university so it is a good place for the gators to chillax and enjoy.

I've never had an actual meal here, but I got their onions rings and they were to die for! The atmosphere is super cute and it's very convenient if you're at the park and need a snack/meal. The service is decently quick. I got the Goldie's sauce with onion rings as well and it was amazing!

I was over in Depot Park recently, and it was lunchtime so I figured I would sample the food that is offered in the area. Goldie's Burgers was the place to go it seemed, so that is what I went for.They get a lot of traffic from the park, so you will see a lot of skaters and other park residents showing up there. There are some tables and chairs in the room to sit at, but I did not stay around to sit in them and soak up the vibes of the place.Located on the North side of the park in a revamped railroad station, Goldie's does made-to-order burgers and other items that would fit in a counter-service establishment, including some fried seafood. I went for the double smash burger and an order of fries.My wait time was about 8-10 minutes, which is decent for something that is made while you wait. The burger was a good burger, nicely melted cheese on it and the Goldie Sauce was a nice touch. The fries are seasoned, and unfortunately had a bit of a fishy taste to them, which means they use the same oil for their seafood as they do for their fries. People with shellfish allergies should be aware of this, since one of the items they have is a shrimp po'boy.

Very fun little burger joint in Gainesville. We live in Ocala but we're traveling home from a trip and the kids needed dinner. So we were basically doing a blind search through google maps for anything that sounded good. First off let me tell you that this burger joint sits adjoining Depot Park which had a really cool playground and splash park (in season). The restaurant itself is inside what looks like at old train depot. I'm not sure if that's the case or if it was built to complement the theme but cool either way. Everything we ordered was made fresh and absolutely delicious. The staff was friendly and helpful with any questions we had about the menu. We especially enjoyed the tochos loaded tots. We look forward to visiting again and maybe taking our lunch to the park area another day.

Delicious vegetarian burgers and fast service. There is plenty of parking and you can order ahead if you are in a hurry. The park is a great option for eating outdoors.

Absolutely delicious every time! Food is really good. Great staff too. What else is there to say
