Mac's Drive Thru

Mac's Drive Thru is a long-standing restaurant in Gainesville, Florida. The menu is definitely limited, but their cheeseburgers and French fries are pretty good and Mac's Drive Thru is a great alternative to fast food options. I pulled up just about lunch time and the drive through line was pretty long, but the line went pretty quickly.It is a drive-through, so there is no interior ambiance to speak of, but after getting your food they do have a few benches you can enjoy your meal at.Mac's Drive Thru definitely earned my recommendation and I will give it five stars overall.

We wanted to grab some fast food for lunch and the local Yelpers in Gainesville convinced us to try Mac's. The menu was no-frills; short and sweet, like an east coast In-n-Out. Similar to In-n-Out, there was a fairly long line of cars in the drive thru, but it split into two lines once on the lot and moved along at a decent pace. Other Yelpers mentioned that lunch hour is extremely busy here and we can attest to that, as the line for Mac's extended well onto 10th Ave when we exited.On to the food... What Mac's lacks in menu variety, they absolutely shine in quality! The burgers were cooked to perfection, like the best backyard cookout burger you've ever had. The fries were wonderfully crisp, not too greasy or salty. Alongside an ice cold root beer, it was a perfect lunch to satisfy my burger craving. Would definitely return on a future visit to Gainesville!

Would give it 10 stars if I could, one of the best burgers I've had in awhile..Meat seasoned well, condiments and toppings tasted fresh and were nice and crispy Fries reminded me of McDonald's they were delicious!!! Sweet tea top notch, next time I'll ask for lite ice. Will put this on my list of places to frequent when in Gainesville

Good burger, could have used a bit more ketchup, it was a bit dry. The line was long as usual but wait was only about 15-20 min. A bit long today. I still love the burgers but today's visit was not as good as it could have been. Still, I'll be back.

There is nothing remarkable about Mac's---they just serve a straight up tasty burger with fries! The shakes are great too. The service is excellent unfailingly friendly and although the line may be long, it moves quickly and efficiently! I also like the fish sandwich. And they have root beer. Happiness! Mac's is one of the places in Gainesville I will miss. Go get some tasty lunch and think how jealous I am!

1. Parking and surroundings: Just a few spaces, if you want to park, order through the front window and eat alfresco, there's two park benches in the side of the building. Almost everyone orders through the drive through window. Ambiance: Just a stand alone building, some heavy traffic will tell you that you won't be dissapointed. Food: Pick your itemized items through the speakers.... fries comes out hot, crispy, tasty, just perfect. You can order your burger or cheeseburger all the way, like I did and you will find that the lettuce, tomatoes and onions are all fresh, yes, I said fresh. The juicy burger has an incredibly natural rich and flavorsome taste. Not too seasoned, not too bland, just right, not dry like fast food chain rest. I did enjoy this meal while parked in my vehicle. I would not hesitate to go back, or repeat. From 1 to 10 I will give it an 8. On Yelp I give it 5 stars. Where else can you grab a fresh good tasting quality burger for a good price?

Good cheeseburger! Drive through only. Burgers, a few sandwiches and fries. Nothing fancy, but tastes good and fresh!

I've been trying various burger places around Gainesville when I'm in town. This place is my favorite so far. It's a PURE drive thru. No place to sit anywhere or even park for that matter. The burger was very juicy and the fries were hot. I'll be back...probably many times.

I was thrilled when I got the change to pull up to this Gainesville Favorite!! I've heard many great things about the Homestyle Burger joint from their delicious burgers, fries and convenient location and they were right! I purchased 2 double cheese burgers, fries, and a large sprite, needless to say I was Full, and wanted to get the FULL experience lol.My take on the meal was over all good. The burger itself was cooked throughly and seasoned, just the bun edges were a little questionable with the "half-toastedness" still good. The fries are 1 standard size which was okay and the large drink was super big and I was pleased!! The drive thru lines were moving swiftly and the area was pretty clean. I also enjoyed the patience of person taking my order as a new customer. The service was quick and efficient. One unique attribute of the drive thru experience, if you are the traveling by yourself, go to the far right drive thru windows if you are traveling with a passenger you can pull into the center window. Please don't be like me and pull in the center window and had to stretch far to get my food lol #FirstTimer lol Welp, if you stop by anytime soon try one of those tasty burgers! See you then!!

A little DIY spot that's doing it right is something that everyone should be looking out for as you just can't go wrong with that!Coming here was simple as I was on the road and I was able to get through quickly and grab a totally yummy burger!Of the few yummy choices I went with the double bacon cheeseburger as that just sounded good and let me say it totally was as the meat was cooked perfectly along with the bacon and this burger was just what was good for this adventure that also had some fries!Of the drinks I went with their strawberry which pretty much tasted like strawberry Fanta but it made for a totally yummy bubbly!Their associates were friendly and nice as well as quick service that was delightful to interact with!Overall this is an awesome burger place that's doing it right but be aware as it can get really busy as when I was leaving the line was already down the street!
