Sandwich Inn

had a cheeseburger and fries. the staff came out and gave my dog a treat (nice touch) food was fresh, fast and hot and prices was great. they have been here since 1962 so please come by and support them!

Great breakfast spot. Everything was so fresh and for being made to order it was rather fast as well. Worth the wait. The price is great too. 3 breakfast sandwiches, 2 medium sides, and 2 medium drinks came out to around $ 14. Not the prettiest and they keep a simple menu but that’s all part of it. Will definitely be trying lunch sometime.

Pretty disappointed; I really wanted to like this place and thought I would based on all the positive reviews on here. I ordered a patty melt with fries and a butter pecan milk shake. The patty melt tasted like it was made of meat comparable to McD’s and instead of coming on two slices of grilled bread as one expects of a patty melt, it was served inside a strange thin bread pocket. The fries were nothing to write home about– very similar to McD’s and not crispy at all. The highlight of the meal was the butter pecan shake which really was very delicious with bits of pecans in it. Strong suits of this restaurant include cheap prices and friendly, fast service; however, I would pick Mac’s every time over going to this place even if the wait is longer. I might return here for another shake, but really nothing else!

I went for lunch here a couple of days ago, and enjoyed the quick, friendly service. The food is relatively simple but tasty, with no messing about of special sauces. Burgers «All-​The-​Way» are garnished with lettuce, tomato, and onion, with just mayonnaise as the dressing. Fries are simple string fries with salt.
I would say that Sandwich Inn is in direct competition with Mac’s a couple blocks down the road, and the menu is almost exactly the same. However, you don’t get the traffic issues like you do at Mac’s, and the food is just as good at the same price.

Although it looks like a hole-​in-​the-​wall, this place is great for a non-​chain fast food restaurant. It is quick, cheap, and nostalgic all in one. Picnic tables are available if you want to enjoy a nice Florida day and eat outside.
I ordered the bacon cheeseburger, some fries, and a chocolate milk shake and was not disappointed. My girlfriend had the fish sandwich and some hash browns (which I was told were amazing). They were. The entire meal came in at just under 10 dollars and didn’t have the same over processed taste as other fast food joints.
Needless to say, I will be returning.

Not open for a lot of hours each day but for the hours they are open… man! man! man! These little tasty burgers hit the spot and a order of fries with salt sprinkled on them is just the right amount of flavor! Please go when you visit Gainesville.

This was my first time to this establishment and I was overwhelmingly surprised at the friendly service, the doped of my order and what I have to say was the best philly steak and onion rings I have had since moving to Florida.
The sandwich was on a fresh French sub roll and the steak was cooked to mouth-​watering perfection with slices of cooked onions, cheese and the perfect amount of mayo. The wax paper trapped the delicious juices!
The small onion ring order was huge and the rings were hot, not greasy and totally scrumptious!!!
This is a must-​go place to enjoy and I will return this week to try the burgers.

I go here for breakfast on the reg. You have to get the BLT w/​egg ALL THE WAY! It’s life changing. And hopefully you get there on a day they are feeling generous with the bacon! Sometimes I wonder how they don’t lose money on them!

I love this place, they are delicious, cheap and always friendly.

No one beats this place when it comes to bacon cheeseburgers. Back when I lived in Gainesville me and my roommate would roll out of bed at around 1130 am on our days off and drive on down to the Sandwich Inn for bacon cheeseburgers, onion rings, (rangz!) and big cokes with crushed ice! It was always a super awesome treat that happened at least once a week. Their buns are to die for! Super soft! Love local places like this one and highly recommend it for anyone who is craving sinful delicious burgers. No one comes close.

Drive thru only no place to sit n eat. Slightly above average taste and quality at best. I love trying new places wouldn’t go out of my way to come back. Prices are very reasonable.

Pros:
Classic greasy wax paper burger.
Very old grill. (Best for burgers)
Nostalgic American drive thru
Cons:
GHETTO
Very Dirty
Cheap beef — seemed frozen
Meat has no flavor
Fries were old and hard

Went here for lunch and had a delicious, big, juicy burger. And it was priced fair and cheap. It’s not good for you but it’s so worth it.

When I moved to Gainesville I started looking for locally owned places that were also cheap. I heard about Sandwich Inn & gave them a try. I thought I wasn’t going to be able to find them (they are very tiny) but they have a sign high up that helped. The parking area was big but there weren’t many designated parking spots though. So we ordered our food. A large drink, a Cuban sandwich and a triple decker burger. The total was under $ 10. The Cuban was very tasty, but a little on the small side. My boyfriends burger looked like it came from Wendy’s but it was sooo much cheaper.
They did have a little area to sit with about 4 picnic tables. I gave them four stars because the wait time was a little long but for the price the food was good!

I suppose I have to give it 4 stars in this case, as there’s really no competition for old fashioned burger joints in town. I’ve already given my general dislike for Mac’s. Sandwich isn’t all that dissimilar, but it tends to be faster, less greasy, and a little more tasty. I think the fries are definitely better than Mac’s, but they could still use some work. The burger is serviceable for what it is and everything is dirt cheap. I just picked up breakfast from there on the way to work. The cheeseburger with egg was pretty good and hit the spot. The «hash rounds» were simply tater tots, meh.
If you happen to be driving out of town, heading NW from Gainesville, you’ll find the best sort of «local» burger joint (once again, since Louis closed down). This place in Alachua was also a Sandwich Inn for many years and I still call it that today, even though it changed to Bev’s Better Burgers near 15 years ago. The burgers are amazingly delicious and juicy. They also opened one up in High Springs a few years ago. I hit either of those on occasion when going to see my parents. Give that a shot if you’re heading in that direction. The burgers are well worth it and they’re even great cold the next morning.

Great old-​fashioned drive through restaurant burgers. They have catfish sandwiches, their tuna sandwiches are peppery, you can order the entire menu all day. There’s nothing like a double-​double for breakfast! Or a fried egg with bacon sandwich… or hashbrowns and a tuna melt… The menu is diverse, inexpensive, and fast. I quite often go through and purchase breakfast and a sandwich for lunch and drive out for less than $ 8!
The drive through goes along both sides of the building, so you can choose to go through the left side if you have a passenger, or the right side if not.
I love their ice! It’s the kind that freezes in a tube, then falls out, so it’s like icee pellets. And their jumbo drink really IS a JUMBO!
The owners are often working the windows and are friendly and always smiling. Don’t get ketchup or salt & pepper… you don’t need it. Just enjoy the food as is. Trust me.

Sandwich Inn gained my attention via Unilocal.It’s funny how many times you drive by a place and never notice it’s there… Sandwich Inn is an unassuming looking white building across from Loop-​de-​Loop and the huge ass Kangaroo on Main Street.
We drove up around 430PM and there was only one other car there. It actually closes at 5, so we were cutting it close. The menu is tasty looking (see Unilocal photos) and today (Tues) is bacon cheeseburger for $ 1.89 day. Awesome!
So, after much contemplation, my boyfriend and I ordered 2 double cheeseburgers ($ 3.75), a small fry ($ 1+ change), small onion rings ($ 1.10), small Coke ($ 1) and a small Root beer float ($ 1). Total? $ 9.50! Awesome squared!
We waited for about 5 minutes in the car as the ladies cooked our food. I got to say, the expectations were high… thanks to Unilocal :). The drinks came out first, then our hot food. The root beer float is awesome. Good, rich root beer with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream. I just ate the ice cream first, then drank the root beer. It was worth more than the dollar we paid for it.
The fries were decent, but nothing amazing. We had a few good crispy pieces, but a lot of soggier pieces. The onion rings were very tasty, crispy and rich, though a tad greasier than my stomach could handle.
The burgers came with lettuce, tomato and mayo already on it. If you want ketchup, request it. The bacon was thick and crispy. Perfect. The onions were strong and fresh. The burger was just large enough to fill you up, not too much so that you feel gross after eating it. It was a very tasty burger, and for less than 2 bucks, much better than Five Guys. That’s right, I said it. And what.
Overall, I liked Sandwich Inn and now must go to Macs sometime to compare… Mmmm… burgers…

Ummmmmm… Yes please!
I have been going here for years and I do not think that they have ever raised the prices. The menu continues to grow daily, and they just keep nailing new menu items to the wall until it has become this massive wall of deliciousness!
They have different daily specials, and I try to make it on $ 1.89 bacon cheeseburger day. Bacon is where they hook me, it is so freaking crispy here, which is hard to find on a burger. It even stays crispy 30 minutes later, and is super addictive. The shakes are the perfect consistency and not too sweet. The service here is much faster than Mac’s even though they have about the same amount of customers, the line moves twice as fast. What other burger place has fried okra?
If you are in Gainesville and have not tried this place, there is something definitely wrong. If you do come here, you will see me in my parked car, wearing sunglasses with a burger in my hand. Definitely a Spring and Summer place, and I choose them over Mac’s long lines any day.

Sandwich Inn looks like the kind of place you drive by without a second thought. But, if you decide to stop here for lunch, you won’t be disappointed. Before writing anymore, know that this place does not sell gourmet sandwiches. It sells greasy, unhealthy, cheap mounds of goodness. Nothing on their menu is greater than $ 4. Awesome.
I’ve tried so much stuff here. I would recommend everything. They have a variety of things from BLTs to Subs to Burgers and everything else. They have cheap daily specials so that is what i get. The BLTS are good. The Country Fried Steak and Egg Sandwich is good albeit greasy. A lot of their sandwiches come with eggs and bacon. The Bacon Cheeseburger is so good, I may stop writing now to run out and get one. But come early, cause they run out quick. The burgers are great and so are the fries.
If you’re looking for a nice meal to eat with a knife and fork, you just wasted your time reading this review. If you are with friends and are looking to grab a bunch of sandwiches, burgers, fries, onion rings, whatever… then get over there right now. They arent open at night and it’s only drive thru. The service can be rude, but with such cheap good food, I could care less.

OK we finally went today. Grabbing two burgers and two cheeseburgers with fries to go, to take home and eat.
Burgers were tasty.
My wife said she liked the fries. I thought they were a little to greasy, but they were good. At least you could tell they are real potato fries and not the extruded pressed one’s McDonald’s and Burger King sells.
If you live on the east side of town I definitely would go here before the Burger King just 1 block away from there.
BTW.prices were very good. We got everything listed above for $ 9.50.
