★★★★★ 5.0 Wayne Thomas · Nov 2025

Wayne Heads Southern is a carry out restaurant located adjacent to the Texaco gas station off of NE 16th Ave in Gainesvillle. There is limited off street parking but most parking is located in the gas station parking lot. The majority of the menu items are fried but the flavor is very good. I ordered the chicken sandwich with fries and the meal was made to order, fresh and hot. Very good flavor and portion size was good for the price. Be prepared to wait because all orders are made fresh but it's worth the wait. They have a seating area if you want to eat on-site but it only has a seating capacity of 10. If you want some quick soul food that tastes good, this is your place.

Little cold outside to sit this time of year. But for a grab and go you can’t beat this place. Convenient location, quick service, good prices, and great tasting food.

Man if I could give this place 20 stars I would!! I got the fish&shrimp plate and let me tell you that is the best seafood I have had in Gainesville and even Charlotte NC. I’m bringing mom tomorrow cause I been crazing it ever since. Super good food, friendly owner and nice portions. You won’t be hungry after that’s for sure. Gainesville’s BEST seafood!!

This is an amazing roadside kitchen in a gas station lot. The staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. We had wings, fried shrimp and FF. The wings has an amazing crunch to them and the Cajun ranch sauce had the right amount of heat without burning your face off. (Also got the golden bbq which was absolutely killer) The fried shrimp were perfectly cooked, I used to roll served with the meal to make little sliders with the extra Cajun sauce in the container. The fries were perfectly seasoned and easy to eat too many! Well done guys! We won't be in the area for a long time but will never forget it!
