Collegiate Grill - Gainesville (GA)

3 /5 MidnightModder: After tax and tip, one cheeseburger and a shake ran me a little over $20. Which at a nicer restaurant would be understandable, but at this hole in the wall burger joint, I was expecting to walk out for less than $15. The wait was also much longer than Id anticipated. However, their saving grace is that they have some unique options and their food is quite good. All in all, I dont regret stopping here for lunch, but I dont think Ill be back again.

4 /5 Anthony Divinagracia: Classic American diner that has been in business since 1947. Went here for lunch with a friend a few days ago. I was impressed with the modern/1950’s atmosphere inside. There were also old Gainesville High School sports memorabilia on the walls which was pretty unique. I ordered their special of the day which was a “Texas” burger that contained a single beef patty with cheese, 2 fried onion rings, and some bbq sauce. It also came with fries and a drink. My friend had a simple bacon double cheeseburger along with a milkshake. I also added a cheese dog to try. Both of our burgers were delicious with the meat being juicy. Fries were cooked to perfection. The milkshake was old fashioned in appearance, but was great nonetheless. Overall, the food and service was great in this retro/modern diner that is definitely a Gainesville classic!

5 /5 Christopher Elliott: Always a great place to eat. Wonderful atmosphere. Never disappointed in the quality

5 /5 Frances Hoeg: We visited the Collegiate Grill for the first time, but it wont be our last. The menu is limited to hamburgers, hotdogs, hand cut fries, onion rings, milkshakes, and a grilled cheese or chicken sandwich. However, the choices for those items are limitless! Our group sampled all of it, and everything was delicious. The hand cut fries alone are worth the trip. Prices are very reasonable. Its a great place for a quick and delicious lunch. Parking is easy as there is a large, free, parking garage right across the street. If youre in Gainesville go grab a bite at the Collegiate Grill. You wont regret it.

3 /5 Sandy Parkey: This is a great old nestalgic place with usually good food and service. Today … the sweet tea tasted like mold … I ordered a chili cheese dog and the cheese (slice) wasn’t even melted … I asked if I could swap out my tea and she just told me to dump it in the drain tray under the cokes… so I did but then I just walked out. :-( Really disappointed
