5 /5 Justice R: Krootz should be featured on food shows and travel magazines. It is a hole-in-the-wall dive with amazing food and brews.
We discovered this place on the usual trips through Gainesville to visit family and our visits have never been complete without a trip (or two) to Krootz since! It is THE PLACE to stop. Everything we’ve ever ordered has been delicious, and the coffee Rita and sippin shine is worth the visit alone. The portions are huge. The service is almost always fast and friendly, and the rare times that isn’t true, our patience and politeness with the situation was well rewarded and they made it right as soon as the problem was realized.
The location is very visually modest for how consistently amazing Krootz is. They have live music on some weekends. The vibe is chill and relaxed, very come as you are. Whoever runs that place has a culinary genius they keep close. Try the dessert and everything else! It’s worth it!!
