Gainesville has one or more delicatessens. These are outlets that are a combination of a grocery store and a fast food restaurant. They serve foods such as sandwiches, along with hot foods that are kept on a steam table. Many places also offer salads with both greens and with prepared pasta, potato, chicken, tuna, shrimp etc. Though lunch and dinner products are usually available, some places also offer breakfast foods such as pancakes, bacon, sausage, waffles, omelets and breads. The kind of food available depends also on the location of the deli (which is what they are usually called). The ehtnicity of the owner also makes a difference. Jewish and European delicatessens serve different kinds of food. They could be either take-out, a sit down restaurant, or both, in Gainesville. Newspapers and food items may be available for sale. Delis in Gainesville are great places to grab a bite that is fresh and healthier than fast food options.
