“The staff was wonderful! Our wedge salad, beef tips were wonderful. Our shrimp and grits were too salty and very disappointing. We shared that with the waiter and she said she would let them know. If you are a professional chef, little salt is better than too much. Salt can be added but not taken away. We return but will not order the shrimp and grits. Other than that, it was a great evening celebrating 54 years of marriage.”

Was complaining all night about how people order food late (I ordered food late), how she likes when people order cans cause she doesn’t like washing glasses (reused my glass multiple times) and how her tips were light (tipped almost 100% so she knows not everyone that comes in is a broke college student). Oh, and there were random people walking behind the bar helping themselves.”

“drove to Tallahassee from Valdosta, GA, for a shopping trip, and a good friend recommended El Rey Tacos & Beer. I’m so glad I stopped by! This place instantly transported me back to Mexico. I had the best torta I’ve ever tasted, the bread was perfectly fresh and soft, and every bite was bursting with flavor. It’s hard to find something this authentic back home in Valdosta. I also tried their aguas frescas, and they were incredibly refreshing and flavorful. My 10-year-old daughter ordered tacos and surprised me by eating four! She said they were the best tacos she’s ever had.This place is absolutely worth the drive. I’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend for anyone craving true Mexican flavors!”

“This is a wonderful locally-owned spot located in Railroad Square. I thought they just did water ice, so I although I knew about them, I had not been yet. But then I realized they have a full menu and since I am a sucker for chicken cheesesteaks, I had to check them out. The food is fresh and prepared to order and the wait is definitely worth it. I paired my cheesesteak with their fried pickles, which were lightly breaded and perfect. I added one of their Pucker Punch specials, which pairs lemonade with your choice of water ice flavors (I went with mango). It was very refreshing and before I left I grabbed a pine colada version for my hubby (who said it was delicious) and added some blueberry water ice scoops to what was left of my original drink. The staff was super friendly and working diligently to get everyone what they ordered as soon as they could. I will definitely be back!”

You won't find a better spot in town to find obscure, local craft brews from all over the country (and world) to try, than Beer Stop. It's been a while since I've been in, personally, but I recently tried a beer brewed in Orlando, loved it, and couldn't find it anywhere. I called Beer Stop, and they very kindly told me they have an entire case of them in stock at a very reasonable price. This place is a true gem of Tallahassee.”

“El Cocinero is a fantastic casual dining restaurant with great food, drinks, and atmosphere. The "El Cocinero Margarita" is one of the best I have ever had, and is consistently great. Their hot sauces are phenomenal, however they have been out of them the last 2-3 weeks which is a little disappointing. I get a rather simple order, however the corn tortillas and the seasoned meat are always outstanding.
I was disappointed with my most recent visit when there were no other tables inside (and only 1-2 outside). A bartender made the comment "If it was up to me, Mocktails would be $1 million dollars. I hate them. Take your sprite and shut up". I get that we all have things we find annoying, and it's one thing to vent in private or in the back-of-house. But venting at the bar, infront of a customer with friends/family that are pregnant and enjoy mocktails, is pure form and service. If it wasn't for this recent event, it would be 4 or 5 stars for service rather than 1”
Chicken Wings • $$
“These are the nastiest wings I ever had in my life, I ordered a 16 piece lemon pepper hot wing and they sent one order of bland hot wings with curly frys and a order of no flavor tasteless wings with cury frys I did not know chicken could be so bland and nasty. we didn't even eat them they're just sitting there, we did not even have dinner because it was so bad.”

“Open entering the open aired establishment I first noticed the fresh cool air blowing in and I suddenly was at home. The tender of the bar Macy with her flowing hair and gleam in her eye offered me a crisp cool libation....that's when I noticed her. She sat on the end awaiting her call. Tempting to choose another I couldn't resist her any longer. Wondering if she was indeed available I made my move hoping my instinct was correct. As she came to me like something out of a fever dream my life as I knew would never be the same. Stella would forever be a part of me and I thank the lucky stars above I discovered her at the wondrous tavern known simply as the Brass Tap. My existence is now completely at peace.”

“This is one of my favorite places to go! 😊 The one on Thomasville Rd is also great! But this one knows me like family. Having worked at a smoothie King myself, I can pick up on the great attitudes and customer service skills that we all need after a long day. 10/10 service, I’ll come back often!
(We appreciate you too!)”

“Meagan is the absolute best! I didn’t even have to ask for anything - she knew when to refill my drink, when to give me to go plates and was quick and friendly. This is the only waitress I want from now on when I eat here. Meg is the true meaning of customer service”
Steak House • $$
“Although we are not ones to go to chain restaurants, going to Longhorn is safe and similar to a regular restaurant, we ordered draft beers and it was a success and we ordered a filet mignon and a ribeye both medium and they arrived perfect and with good flavor.”

“When I ran across Mom & Dad's social media post offering brunch, I know I had to try it. When I entered the restaurant, I was greeted by one of the most friendliest host. Once seated, within minutes, the server appeared as I shared with her I have never eaten at Mom & Dad's before. She took the time to share some of the restaurant's signature dishes and popular brunch menu items. I chose the French toast with bacon. The French toast was cooked perfectly and the pepper crusted bacon was delicious. I deeply appreciate manager, Ken, for stopping by to thank me for my service. I cannot wait to go back!”

“We rarely treat ourselves to a hot lunch on the weekend but we did today and it was amazing! Matt was our server and took great care of us. The food was cooked to perfection and we brought home a pile of leftovers for dinner tonight. If you love great seafood Wahoo's is the place to go! We will be going back soon! Thanks Matt!”

“We were there on 2 evenings and sat at the bar. The bartender was very nice and mixed great drinks. I told him that I would like a cocktail with pineapple juice and coconut. He made me a very tasty cocktail. On the first evening I ate a great, delicious salad. An offer last night...grilled chicken breast with broccoli. It was both very well prepared and a lot. Thank you so much for the great time at the bar. The bartender did a great job!!!”

“The folks who work here. The young black girl at the counter ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ they were the sweetest to my son who has autism and very understanding. These were the nicest folks ever and very professional. He was getting irritated inside and the young girl was so sweet to him. He dropped his cookie as we were walking out and was trying to grab it off the floor and the older lady went and got him another one. Thank you for your understanding.”

“We have purchased seafood from Mike's ever since they were located off Capital Circle behind ABC LIQUORS (No longer there). Yep, long time ago. I cannot remember our ever being disappointed in any seafood purchased from Mike's. It's been, perhaps 20 years or more. I believe his Mother was also there then. They have always been so organized, professional, flexible, friendly, never having to wait too long, and the market always look neat and clean. You wouldn't believe it was a seafood market when you walk inside (no fishy odor). They clean their fish like no other. Mike is a wonderful person. He works very hard, so his staff does. He takes pride in his business, and it shows. Businesses last, because of reputation. When family comes to town we always know where to get fish from. That's a good thing, right. Thanks Mike. Congrats! 👍 👍”

“I've been eating at this buffet for many years now. Baked chicken is delicious, peach cobbler is tasty and the beef tips on Tuesday are great. I think this buffet is the best deal in town. Seniors get a discount, too. Their fried chicken is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. A real treat. Not pricey at all. If you get Ashley as your server.....a real plus.”

“Purchased a large bowl of shrimp and crab gumbo. Had two shrimp in it and couldn't see any crab meat. The waiter was apologetic but that was it. Scammed me for 22+ dollars.”

“The Blue Tavern is a true gem in the Tallahassee Community. Carrie (owner) and Heather (bartender) are welcoming, caring, inclusive. This place has the best music in town on a consistent basis. Carrie works hard to support the community; it is like home. The "regulars" are genuine folx and the musicians and performers are great, too. Please support and enjoy! Food is great, too. Highly recommend.”

“This review is long overdue. If you haven't been to Community Co-op recently, you are missing out! They have kept many of the characteristics of the prior New Leaf but with some wonderful improvements in all areas. The new chef and his staff are phenomenal! Some of the best, freshest meals in Tallahassee:. Vegan, vegetarian, and regular. Excellent local/ organic produce. Prices are better than at comparable stores. And wonderful staff, everyone. And today, a special thanks to the store manager. I began to choke in my car in the parking lot. I desperately indicated to a female driver next to me that I needed help. I was quickly losing consciousness. She drove off, staring at me coldly as I was collapsing outside of her car. (People, if you don't know the signs of someone choking, they typically are touching their throat, pointing to it, making Heimlich sign, and in obvious distress. Please learn this if you do not yet know it,). So I decided to try to get back to the store but realized I couldn't make it back across the parking lot. Thank God, the store manager ( Cleo?) was in the lot and instantly realized the situation. Although I remembered nothing.he very efficiently performed the Heimlich Maneuver. He saved my life. And, I could not have been at a better business/ location. These are good people, Tallahassee. Give them a try, check out the daily menus on line, see their EXPERT on supplements,purchase so many wonderful products and fresh produce, pasture fed eggs etc. Everything some huge store has but better. Tallahassee is fortunate to have the Community Co-op.”

“The food was good. The service wasn’t bad, but not the best. I think the server needs more training. She couldn’t handle the number of people she was serving. She had two parties with 9 to 10 people at each table. It was very overwhelming for her. It took so long to get our food. We got there maybe 10:20 am and didn’t receive our food until about 12:00pm, give or take. Then, we had to wait a while to get the ticket. She was trying her best. The restaurant was packed. I have to give her that much. But, she does need more training. To show her how to handle her tables without making the others wait so long. She was all over the place.”

“We went to the Piesanos OTOW Canopy Oaks in Ocala, Florida and was pleasantly surprised. It was our first time at any Piesanos. The food was great. Our waitress Kristina was very pleasant answering all our questions and we lacked for nothing. Excellent service! During our visit Tamara Blount, General Manager came by and welcomed us and made us feel like family. The atmosphere was warm and it was so nice we plan on making it one of our favorite places to eat. The motto on the wall said something like taste the difference and we did. Thank you Kristina and Tamara. Looking to see you again soon.”
