16th Avenue Diner - American restaurant in Gainesville - 207 NE 16th Ave, USA

We enjoyed a tasty breakfast. Ordered eggs, bacon, home fries, and biscuit. Also ordered biscuits and gravy. Everything was perfectly cooked. Servers were friendly and food came out quickly. Would eat there again.

Great food and service! Went in for breakfast and weren't disappointed. Very simple little place but would definitely go back.

New owners, Very friendly atmosphere, great prices, food delicious. Best biscuits in town. Got the two pork chops, grits, eggs scrambled hard. Can't go wrong.

This place is a hidden gem! Delicious food, amazing service, and inexpensive!! Servers were so attentive, food was made fresh and still came quickly even in a packed diner.

It startles you a little. The pay counter perched at the glass front door like a eager pet, the smiles and waves of the staff passed casually like they’ve known you were coming, the benches and tables squashed in two rows like pews in a church. Cramped as it is, crowded as it is, it feel like you’re a part of a family. The portions too, are family sized. I got the 2-2 combo and coffee. It came promptly enough on two huge plates of french toast, hash browns, scrambled eggs, and bacon cooked to loving perfection. All for under $15! Of all the Gainesville diners I’ve visited, this one has the best bones. No pretend or fussy aloofness. Nothing but what they say they offer—an American roadside diner :) Thank y’all for a great experience.

This is what appears to be your typical breakfast diner, but the food and service is excellent! Very good coffee. It is family owned and you can tell they take a lot of pride in their business. Everyone is so friendly and pleasant. This is our go to breakfast place for a quick in and out at a reasonable price.

If I could select more than 5 stars for each of these categories, I would. Such a legit spot. I left feeling satiated hunger and rejuvenated levels of serotonin. The exact vibe I didn’t know I was craving on this Saturday morning.

Been going here since birth. 36 years (but I'll always say 26). I will always love this place. There are pictures of me as an infant being held by the original owners. The best people always work here. Get the home fries. They are really great. I recommend 2 orders. They definitely don't skimp on portions, they were just so good I wanted more!
