Only went there once and didn't even get anything for myself. My daughter and her fiance at the time (now her husband) ate though. I paid the bill and I remember thinking to myself, wow, how do the students afford this? It was pretty high priced for a fast food joint right next to a college campus. It looked great, I'll give them that, but man oh man were they high priced. I could've fed a family of 12 for the same price at Taco Bell. I think if I moved back to G'ville some day, I'd miss Skeeters a lot more.
Most people don't realize this, but you can still get Skeeter's food.
The owner of Skeeter's died. His son opened up Café Risqué and took the Skeeter's menu with him. If you eat at Café Risqué it's the exact same food. Me and a few friends go there at 5 AM every now and then to eat breakfast. There aren't any strippers at that time of day, just people who are actually there for the food.
Alan's Cubana became Salty Dog. The menu has evolved over the years to where it's completely different. Salty Dog has the best wings in Gainesville.
If you have never eaten at Relish you simply must go there. Top grade never frozen meat that's cooked when you order it. The burgers are the best I've ever had anywhere. It is a Subway type thing where you order your burger and then while it is cooking you go down the line and choose your toppings. They seriously have like 40 different toppings to choose from.
Rowdy Reptiles has seriously good food as well and it's very inexpensive. We're talking $2 quesadillas that are so good they sell tons of them every day. They also have hard to find items like boiled peanuts.
