From Jerk Chicken Pasta to Seafood Paella, you can enjoy the islands one taste at a time, discovering new flavors along the way. Naturally, we're the perfect spot for all the sunniest moments in life: happy hours with friends, anniversaries, birthdays, date nights and unique culinary experiences. So, when you're ready to raise your glass and move your feet, the party's in full swing and the islands are waiting for you or if you'd rather bring the Island party home, online ordering is a Breeze too!

    Tasty but some meat items were served cold. Sides were plentiful and a good variety.

    We truly love dining at PFChsngs in Gainesville, FL. Located in the heart of Butler Plaza, PFC. has quickly become one of the iconic restaurants of the area. The service is always on point and the food quality always near perfection. In the world of chain restaurants, this one really stands out for us in terms of quality, service and atmosphere. We enjoyed the Red Crane sangria very much although my glass seemed to have a hole in it and somehow the refreshing drink was gone too quickly. My wife enjoyed her dis of chicken w broccoli as I enjoyed the Mongolian beef. We paired each of these w an ample serving of PFC’s brown rice. This is a very nice restaurant that is well run by management and well served by the staff. The food is always consistent and flavorful.

    Lovely, upscale atmosphere with a retro vibe. Outstanding service, attentive and friendly but unobtrusive. The food was excellent. We chose the prix fixe menu and the starters and mains were our favorites (snapper and quail). Cocktails were also excellent. We've found our new special dinner place in Gainesville!
