Best Steak in Gainesville is either Mark's (Herbstreit eats there when he's in town and my personal favorite) or MT's Chop House (a little further out of the way).
My favorite BBQ would be David's Real Pit BBQ; if you are looking for a good place closer to campus I always have a good meal at Adam's Rib Co.
The Wings at Mother's are pretty decent. You can certainly do worse in Gainesville.
