Everything they serve is farm to table. We had crab cake balls, bacon wrapped scallops, and the best stuffed mushrooms you have ever tasted.For our dessert we had a vision of a donut cake. Kayla and DJ constructed an actual wedding cake made with krispy cream donuts and it was the centerpiece of the night!The staff at Backwoods was also great to work with.

“Food was very good (lamb was tender and flavorful), and service was excellent (thank you, Willborn!). The curry spice blend was tasty and the garlic naan had a healthy quantity of garlic slices. Appetizer plus main meal had both of us too full to try dessert, maybe next time we're in town!”

“This is my favorite coffee and tea place in town. I had gotten in the rut before PaperFox of the drive thru coffee experience. With PaperFox, I enjoying sitting down when I can with an actual mug and enjoying their artistic design on their coffees. They even spend the time to send you out with art even if you ask for your order to go. Though I go for caffeine, this is the only coffee shop that reminds me to slow down. The quality of the coffees and matcha is wonderful!The staff have always been friendly and professional. They don’t offer as many hours as their competitors. However, I think that is how they are able to maintain quality control and helpful staff.”
“LEGIT Authentic Mexican food! Unbelievably good! The quesabirria is the best I've ever had, the carnitas are fantastic, the beans and rice are on point and it's very reasonably priced. Every single thing we've tried has been *absolutely excellent*. We just moved here from Colorado and it has been very difficult to find great Mexican food in Tallahassee that lives up to our high standards, but people, let me tell you: THIS IS THE PLACE.”
“Had a great sunday brunch there.I am not vegan, but the tofu scramble was really good.went again recently to see a show and got the tofu bahn thai, it was also very good!I have been frequenting the venue for shows for the last few years, good vibes.Vegetarian options: This place prides itself on its vegetarian and vegan options, it's among the best choices in town!”
“Third time eating here last night and I have not been disappointed once. Delicious food, fun atmosphere, friendly service and the owner is awesome. Every meal I’ve had here he has been out to our table to say hi and make sure we are happy. You can tell he is passionate about his business and that’s makes such a difference. We will definitely return again. Live music was awesome too!”

Every time Dalton came to the table he could hear us talking about how amazing everything was. We loved our evening so much that we're already talking about when we can come back. Thank you all so much.”

“I’ve lived In Woodville all of my 53yrs and can honestly say that I can’t remember ever enjoying a restaurant in my little town as much as I do here. The atmosphere is warm and friendly every time, the food is amazing every time, the staff and service is top notch every time! ??”

“Highly recommend Black Radish. My husband and I are in town for our anniversary and were lucky enough to find this vegetarian-friendly place. The atmosphere is welcoming and bright, the kitchen is open, and the staff are nice.We ordered the tofu lettuce wraps, bubble potatoes, and sweet potato flautas. Bubble potatoes are light and fluffy with a bang bang (spicy-ish) sauce, flautas were filled with roasted sweet potatoes, and the main dish - the lettuce wraps - were build your own with sides of jalapeno, peanuts, kim chi, mint, cilantro, and sauces. All were delicious!One of the owners, Matthew, stopped by our table to make sure we were having a good experience. Upon finding out it was our anniversary dinner he gave us a dessert of our choice! We had the peanut butter ice box pie - and it was light, airy, chocolatey, and the peanut was present but subtle.We plan to return for dinner tonight to try a few more dishes...and the carrot cake!”

“La Florida Coffee & Wine has a level of hospitality that is hard to find these days. Everyone who works here has a big heart. I get my iced soy latte in the morning and have a glass of Rose in the evening with a cheese board. Great for having a moment before going out to dinner with friends, for a caffeine pick me up in the afternoon or getting started in the morning with some yummy quiche.”
“I went here for the first time, and I ordered the blueberry habanero wings, and I also ordered the she-crab soup. With the cutest little piece of bread in it. Everyone was kind and friendly. They had a bunch of ladies in there with red hats on, and they were funny too. I will be coming back because I like the food it's different, it's unique, and it's very tasty, and you won't break the bank it's affordable. Which is important now these days for people who can't afford all this food out here. I have plenty of wings in Tallahassee, but I finally found my spot. kudos to You Leon God bless you and what you have going on. And I pray that God bless you and prosper you in ways that you could never imagine.”
“Authentic Mexican food. This small place in the outskirts of Tallahassee has true flavors and dishes. Do not expect fanciness, but the food is outstanding. I have tried Birria tacos and Tortas. This place is one of the best in all Florida.”
“I've had the opportunity to be at Paisano's a couple of times, and the level of quality is unmatched. I've tried a couple things on the menu and I've never been disappointed with my decisions. It's always a relaxing atmosphere; never too loud or sounding like a library. Even when they were first open, the service itself seemed as if they had been open for a dozen years. I have yet to be disappointed and look forward to the next opportunity I get to return.”
“Patrick our bartender and waiter is wonderful always . He’s so pleasant and accommodating. Our dinners have always been great and we’ve come here regularly… highly recommend”

“I love this little coffee, easy paced shop. Good drinks and friendly service!Vegetarian options: I guess in depends on the type of vegetarian you are.

When I didn't have enough warmers, they loaned me their's until the event was over.All the guest was raving on how delicious the food was. Thanks to Steven and Beverly! It was a perfect day!”
“Absolutely incredible meal. The service was special. Dalton was on top of everything and made sure our needs were met. The food was just amazing.

“This place is absolutely fantastic. If you have not been here, I highly recommend you go. Their tapas selection is amazing. The portions are not small at all. The outside patio is absolutely beautiful and romantic. The inside is elegant. Everything about this place oozes class and style. Their food is superb. They are the type of restaurant Tallahassee has been missing 100 out of 10 would recommend.”
Online Reservation Available
“The food was amazing, but, maybe because it was lunchtime, the server kept making us feel rushed. I was afraid to pause eating for fear of her grabbing my plate. It was full, which is a good indicator that the food is good.”

“Celebrating my bride’s birthday at Charlie Park was the perfect setting. From the interior atmosphere, the cocktails, shareable plates and especially from the special attention we received from Alexia! She was so remarkable attentive and helpful. She made sure the night went well. Also her recommendations throughout the night were spot on. She was absolutely amazing! Now the drinks, no complaints at all about the various cocktails were consumed. The small plates presentations were elegant and tasteful. The large plates were magnificent. Then ending the night’s final cocktails out on the terrace with the beautiful views was the perfect ending.”
“The poke salads were flavorful. All the different tastes and textures really made for an appetizing meal. Any person familiar with Anime will really appreciate the unique decor.”
“First visit to Tallahassee since our son graduated in 2012. Great atmosphere and great food and service. Place was packed so we sat at the bar. Quick and friendly service from the bartender. The BLT dip was delicious and so were the MadSo burger and fries. We will be back.”
“Visited this morning. How is this the first time?!? Avocado Toast, Breakfast Sandwiches, Quiche, Pain Au Chocolate, Guiness Beef Handpies, Galettes, and so many other things I want to try. Bringing home Guava Sourdough Pastry Poptarts with Buttermilk Cream Cheese Frosting to share with the family. Will be back!”
“Prior to this last weekend I've only ever ordered takeout here and I was pleasantly surprised dining in. Typically I order the sushi lunch special which comes with 3 rolls, soup & salad for a pretty fair price. I came in without a reservation on a seemly busy night and was seated immediately, I also placed a sushi order despite being seated for hibachi. The steak was tender and the rice, noodles, veggies were all great, it wasn't overly salty or oily. The hibachi chef wasn't very talkative but he did offer to squirt sake in any brave diners mouths which was comical, he was willing to make adjustments to peoples orders too. The inside was cute and clean so no complaints here, I would definitely return as it's much better priced than other hibachi spots in town.”
“I’m so grateful to have found Hangar 38 for my sons rehearsal dinner. It’s not easy planning for an event out of town, but for less than the room fee of another location, we were able to have a delicious meal, gaming and bowling. It was a great evening of celebration. The food was plentiful and delicious and the presentation was beautiful. We enjoyed sushi, salad, egg rolls and a taco bar. We truly appreciated the attentive and friendly service we received from the event manager Terri, the kitchen manager Evan, and our servers Olivia and Rachel. We highly recommend this location for any event you may be hosting in Tallahassee!”
“Food was fantastic very well seasoned. The desserts are absolutely delicious. I would’ve taken a picture of the cheesecake and the chocolate pie with the cookies on the outside but we ate them Too quickly for a ”
“The Moo Goo Gai Pan special with Pork Fried rice, the Wonton soup, the Boneless Pork Ribs mmmm yum! Not many good Chinese restaurants in North Florida... but this one I'll recommend!!!”
“Our dining experience was outstanding in every aspect—meal, wine, and service alike! Maddie, our server, was exceptionally knowledgeable. She had an impressive grasp of the wine list, menu details, and the culinary techniques behind each dish. Her expertise truly enhanced our evening. We are already looking forward to our next visit!”
“I've been here a lot, and everything has also been superior to what I have had around town. I'm a huge burrito guy, and their burritos, empandas, and tacos always hit . Solid customer service even if you do not speak Spanish. The area is okay, you might miss it if it's your first time. But, after you have found you'll keep coming back.”
“The food was excellent. The French Onion Soup was amazing. I loved the cheesiness. The onions and croutons were a nice touch. My lamb chops were good with the garlic sauce, but without it was okay. The potatoes were good, just needed a little more salt. The ratatouille was outstanding. It was seasoned to perfection.”

“Excellent food, excellent service and excellent vibe! The outside bar is amazing (fully covered) and the bar tenders are top-notch, serving up outstanding beverages.”
“I did some research on the best breweries in Tallahassee and DEEP was consistently in the top three, so I decided to check it out during my travels. Needless to say, I was not disappointed in the product at all. The beer is excellent! You know a place located in a business park that all the locals rave about is gonna be great because they’re surviving on the product and not location. Definitely worth checking out! (Note: I took a pic of each beer after taking a sip. Minor mishap on my part)”
“Great food, big portions. This place is great for meeting up for drinks and apps because the portions are definitely sharable. Entrées are also portioned big. I had the Cajun Alfredo pasta, and it was fantastic. We also shared the jalapeño cheese curds and the sunset shrimp (perfect amount of heat on both of these).”

“Lora took care of me on a Saturday evening for a to go order. She was extremely welcoming and had a great attitude towards me & her staff and was attentive to the tables around her. The rest of the staff was amazing as well. The best location in Tallahassee for sure!”
“An inexpensive, nice all day breakfast joint with a few lunch items. Though my waffles arrived about halfway through my breakfast. Even though they were ordered it with my breakfast.”
“My adult kids and I go there to eat breakfast no matter what time of day the waffles are awesome my adult children decorate their waffles with all kind of stuff which baffles me but it's still great this store is awesome well kept very very friendly and family style friendly absolutely worth a visit ”
“Highly disappointed, my first time ever with a complaint which I never said to anyone. I walk in I’m the only one there at @ 6:40am. They are making a to go order. The waitress never said hi or anything. I set there for 10 min before the cook turned to me and said what you having sir. I gave my simple order and he started to cook it. He finished cooking it and he handed it to me. Finally the waitress ask me what I’m having and I told her waffle, Bacon, coffee with cream. She brings me a cup of coffee but no creamer. I ate half of waffle and I finally got the cooks attention to bring me the creamer. She never came back for a refill. Finally I gave up and paid the bill and handed the cook a $20 tip for a $10 meal and he said thank you. Thank you, cook to the rescue. He knew I was not happy.”
“Stopped in for lunch during road trip with buddies. Restaurant was almost pristine looking, bathrooms very clean. Staff extremely friendly and could taste the care that went into making the food. This location sets the bar high for other Waffle Houses!”
“What a nice service and place I always take my family there to eat very humble and caring servers and atmosphere my server was very friendly and caring her name was Eman love to go thare again and again I recomend too any body if it was more then 5 star I will give them”
“Best burgers anywhere. On a visit in July of 2022 I found it to be very fast very clean and well staffed. I had the number 22 breakfast. It was as good as I have ever had. Fresh and hot including the hashbrowns. I highly recommend the thomasville road store. An April 2024 found great service with an unbelievable fast service. I filled my drink and they were bringing it to my table. I have only had service this fast once before and that was 2500 miles away at Mary Brown's in St John's Newfoundland. I would suggest you try both to compare and Contrast.”
“Been coming here for years. Mainly drive thru. No matter how long the line, it's always worth the wait. Love the honey bbq chicken tender sandwich and gotta have the spicy ketchup!”
“I am in Tallahassee about 3 times per year, and each time I visit this Waffle House. I look for the same server because of the excellent service she gave on my first visit. I am a green tea drinker and the restaurant did not have green tea, but she did and she gave me a bag. That first trip was particularly stressful for me, but her kindness meant so much. She did not know how much she was appreciated.”
“I live very close to this Whataburger and I come very frequently at very late hours and I must admit Carla gives me absolutely exceptional service everytime I am in there she is beyond friendly and works very hard and efficiently to make sure my experience is fantastic I thank her on every occasion and I commend her work I truly do hope that everyone that visits this establishment is blessed with her fantastic service because she puts a smile on my face everytime”
“I hate to say this but lately the W's outside of south Texas have been 100% better idk what's going on back in Texas where it originated but the workers there have no pride in thier job like back in the day”
“This is by far the best IHOP in the state of Florida hands down ?! They not only have excellent customer services skills that make you feel at home with the family but also the food is cooked to perfection that goes above and beyond the norm. I would most definitely recommend to everyone and come back again ?”
“If you like breakfast, they have a breakfast which includes eggs, bacon or sausage, a biscuit and hash brown or grits and a drink for a good price. Just need to clean tables more often.”
“I call this Club McDonald's, after 10pm it's hopping and always packed. the staff keeps their cool and delivers. they are always friendly and professional. the location is clean, the good music is always playing and the best part the shake machine is always up and running! I will continue to stop by after work for my chicken nugget meal and chocolate shake. I tip my hat to the 3rd shift staff of club McDonald's. Thank yall for your hard work and dedication to your customers.”
“This review is strictly for the cashier / drive through customer service clerk on the morning of 1/16/23 @ 8:30 am. She is always super efficient, has a friendly smile and keeps everything running smoothly.Food was McDonald's. It was ok. But that particular cashier makes the whole experience.”

Bar 1903
“Closest thing Tallahassee has to a speakeasy. It’s an awesome little bar inside of a building made to look like a library. The drinks may be a little pricey but I consider them fair due to their exceptional quality. It’s a hidden gem.”
“Craft and quality. I’ve been coming to ology locations for several years. All locations are great. At northside I noticed their attention to detail with “clear ice”, fresh squeezed juices, and garnishes on cocktails. Great food and beer to boot.”

The toppings were plentiful and the overall bowls were beautifully made.I had the blue majic bowl with coconut flakes, chocolate chips, granola, and Nutella. It was delicious! I definitely recommend going to GoodBerry for acai bowls!”

“Friendly service. The restaurant was busy and the kitchen was pushing food out quick that was great quality and very tasty! The omelette was huge, great portions for the price. Our first time here, we were very impressed and will be back!! 10/10.”
“Worth the wait! It was about 30 min on a Saturday. Inside there are probably 15 tables that were always fullThe self serve coffee was cafe quality (great vs the generic taste at most breakfast places). The buffalo bill omelet was great.I look forward to being others here in the future after a great experienceParking: Shared parking lot for multiple businesses”
“I’ve lived In Woodville all of my 53yrs and can honestly say that I can’t remember ever enjoying a restaurant in my little town as much as I do here. The atmosphere is warm and friendly every time, the food is amazing every time, the staff and service is top notch every time! ??”

Drive-Thru Restaurants

“I work in an industry where I'm back in the kitchen and storage areas... let me tell you... CLEAN. Interior and exterior. The food is always fresh and hot. The owner of this facility runs a tight ship and is always on top of things to keep it that way. Highly recommend!”
“Stopped here for some ice cream on a business trip to Tallahassee. Amazing service and the freshly made waffle cones were so good. I also loved that you can get a different flavor per scoop.”
“Great selection and quality. They make some of their own syrups and I usually try to get lattes with those since it tastes fresher. I also love their tea lattes, they have their own tea blends. I’ve bought a few of their teas and the duchess gray is lovely. I come here to study once a week too, it’s pretty popular so hard to get a table sometimes. But overall I enjoy this place a lot!”

“I eat here frequently for lunch. The staff has always been courteous, the food is always fresh, and the fries are ALWAYS hot. This is basically the Chic-fil-A of sandwich shops. 15/10 stars.”
“Tried this place with my family as they recently opened this location. We had three 10” pies as well as garlic knots. Everything was absolutely delicious and fresh. My father-in-law’s pizza got caught on the chains in the oven and had a huge hole in it. Not only did they come out and tell us, but also made his pizza again AND gave us a complimentary order of garlic knots for the inconvenience. All of the staff was so polite and courteous, it felt like we had been there many times before despite being our first time. I would HIGHLY recommend this location and WILL be returning every trip to Tallahassee.”
“My overall experience has been quite positive. The service at this location is consistently fast, and the staff members are exceptionally friendly, which always makes my visits enjoyable. However, during my last visit, there was a minor hiccup as my order was incorrect. Despite this, I decided to keep it since I had already returned to work and couldn't spare the time to exchange it. Despite this isolated incident, I still highly recommend Chic-fil-A.”
“Always a pleasure dining here! Service is fast and always welcoming. I tried something different at my most recent visit. The ambiance here is also nicely lit and clean feeling. I hadn't been to a CSC in a while, and I believe this was my first ever visit to this location. The young lady who took my order was patient with all my questions and even provided some recommendations. I did the savory one and added bacon, lettuce and tomato. It was so good. Light and satisfying.”
“Great, friendly service as you find in just about every Chik Fil-A! On the campus of Florida A&M, staffed by smiling and energetic college kids makes it a fun experience! The manager was very friendly and engaging, and the whole crew made it a great experience!! Great food, and great overall service and environment!”
“Great food, great staff. If the prices were a little lower, we'd eat there more often, but we've never had a bad experience here. The situation with tipping the cashier is a bit ridiculous as well - this is a trend that needs to die now.”
“This is one of my favorite Jimmy John's of Tallahassee area. It's always neat and clean everything is always fresh. Spell the breads always wonderful going in and it's just the kind of place you like to go in and sit down and eat for a little while watch the people go by”
“You know, Subway makes a really good sub. However, the new menu with great combos and extra meats and cheeses are terrific. Half is a perfect amount. Nice job Subway.”
“If your looking for Nashville Hot chicken spot in Tallahassee this is the place to go. The chicken had super good heat and great flavor. My favorite part was the waffle fries which were fantastic. I will be trying some of the other chicken sandwiches in the future.”
“Generally one can get in and out of here for a quick lunch. We ordered, ate and exited in 30 minutes. We ordered a 6 shooter, which was tasty. I didn't care for the pickles, found them a bit too sour, but the jalapeños gave a nice kick. The inside was comfortable and not noisy, so conversation was easy. Silly, maybe, but my favorite was the tootsie roll treats!”
“Wonderful food! I had the Parmesan veal and my husband had a stuffed seafood pasticcio including red fish, shrimp and scallops. Highly recommend! We will be back!”

Hangar 38
“I’m so grateful to have found Hangar 38 for my sons rehearsal dinner. It’s not easy planning for an event out of town, but for less than the room fee of another location, we were able to have a delicious meal, gaming and bowling. It was a great evening of celebration. The food was plentiful and delicious and the presentation was beautiful. We enjoyed sushi, salad, egg rolls and a taco bar. We truly appreciated the attentive and friendly service we received from the event manager Terri, the kitchen manager Evan, and our servers Olivia and Rachel. We highly recommend this location for any event you may be hosting in Tallahassee!”
“This place is fantastic! Perfect wine selection and food to pair with it. Great knowledge of the staff! Perfect place to get a wine you didn’t know you needed. Ask the staff for a wine to pair with your next meal - I’ve always had PERFECTION.”
Cheap Eats
“This was our first time here and the food was excellent. Service was great and super quick. We are excited that the are coming to Pensacola, Florida. Hopefully they will be close to 9 mile and pine forest road.”
“this was a wonderful quick and laughter filled experience, tommy provided great customer service on top of the beautiful establishment he runs, easy to read menu and open and welcoming layout. provided king cake directly from new orleans ! everybody was working hard to provide our order and it was a 10/10 experience ! i recommend to anybodyKid-friendliness: many kids inside when we got there i saw tommy helping a kid pick one of their praline chocolates ! great jokes with the kids and everybody left happy”
“My favorite food truck! Best oxtails in the city! oxtails, rice & peas with string beans! And if I switch it up I’ll get their ribs. I love them! Highly recommend ? ?”
“How the young folks say it? This taco truck slaps hard yo!?♀️?♀️? Got the Birria tacos with chips and that delicious white queso. The sauce has a little spicy kick to it. Love it! One of the best in the city by far!! Don't question it... go see for yourself ?”
“Great vegan eatery write off the road. Great view of some trees and fields around, an outdoor seating area. We got caught in a rainstorm and really enjoy listening to the rain on the roof as we ate outside.”
“There's nothing like a locally owned restaurant for getting amazing service, friendly staff and delicious food in a cozy and fun atmosphere. Vino Beano delivers all of the above and I'll definitely be”
“The all around atmosphere here is just phenomenal, the food is always spot on and the staff are all amazing. I eat here regularly with both my kids and coworkers and have never had a bad experience. 10/10 absolutely recommend!”
“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!”
“They are consistent, and we haven't had anything negative to say about the cookies or service. We love crumble! Ordering on the app is seamless and the Crumbs add up quickly.Parking: Parking is easy.Kid-friendliness: The touch screen ordering allows kids to see the cookies and choose with a close-up look at all of the cookies.”
“Good bar/pub? Obviously geared toward an older crowd (closes at 10) but has free darts and other games. Beer selection is robust and good pricing.I only tried the pretzel bites and although they were good it was a tiny portion, maybe like 9 miniscule bites. I would have been better just getting the full pretzel for a dollar or two more .”
“My first visit here. The coffee is delicious and well prepared, unlike a certain Canada based company that serves overpriced burnt bean juice... the available pastries look fresh and the vibe is very laid back. Service is excellent and the line moves quickly. The location is literally on the way to the barber shop, so convenience is no issue. Definitely coming back!”
“Small neighborhood style brewery with cool vibe, great beer, great staff. Highly recommend over larger more commercial breweries in the area like Proof Brewing. Easy parking on street, beer to go, highly recommend!!”
“It's very nice, tasty food. Nice staff there. Well priced as wellParking: Parking at the gas station where the food truck is located. Many parking spots available”
“Pet Friendly! Food is awesome. Always fresh. Servers and staff are super friendly. The owner actually came outside and greeted us the first time we were ever there which was a busy Friday evening in the summer. A family run business who loves you and your business.”
“Excellent, Excellent, Excellent. The young ladies were so pleasant at the counter. Great energy and very helpful! The food was AMAZING! Tried the chicken, jumbo shrimp and perch and it was all amazing! Will definitely be back to this location. I would 100% recommend. Only dislike is that I couldn't leave a tip for the workers. Would be great to have the option on the receipt. Don't carry cash and would have gladly tipped those young ladies. AWESOME EXPERIENCE.”
“Raised by a Jamaican mom, I tried their carrot cake juice and fell in love! Loved it so much I brought my mom to try it, she is also now a big fan. Tastes just like the carrot juice she used to make in Jamaica, and make for me as a kid. Such a lovely memory over a lovely drink.The smoothies are also awesome, kiddo loves them. I plan to support this black owned biz at every chance.”
“I came from out of town(Bay St. Louis,Ms), and I ordered my usual tea. They hadn't heard of it but were happy to make it for me, and I let them try it & they loved it!! I give them 10 out of 10. I went every day I was in town ?♀️ 30 minutes drive time 1 way! Would do it again ❤️❤️”

Bella Bella
“I love this small family run Italian restaurant. The Bubble Bread alone is reason to come! The rest of the food will keep you coming back. They always have fresh ingredients and the specials are always intriguing and delicious! My fave is the Braised Short Rib Ravioli. It's so good!”
“Great food and atmosphere. Our chefs was so funny and did a great job. Our 8 year old granddaughter loved every minute of his joking with her. And she caught the bit of rice with her mouth. Adults all missed...”
“Been a minute since I posted but I'm back at it. I got the chance to try The Lounge At Market Street out while having a get together for a friends birthday. I like the atmosphere because it's cozy on the inside and then they have the outside area where you can enjoy a nice cigar while you sip and watch TV. They have a killer selection of top shelf and hard to find liquors, even saw Pappy up there! Looking at their menu, there's something for everyone in there. I started by trying the Boulevardier because the ingredients seemed interesting and I've never had one before. It was ok and a little tart, so I moved on to the Old Fashioned. It was pretty decent so I decided to try one more drink before sticking with the Old Fashioned. One of my friends tried a Black Martini so I asked our server for one. I swear that was the best Martini I've ever had so I stuck with those for the remainder of the night. I wish this place had food options because you need something to soak up those tasty beverages they serve. The great thing about this place is they allow you to bring something to eat with you or you can have it delivered. We had a blast inside the establishment and outside in the lounge area. I'll definitely be back! The service here is top notch too!”
“They got us in quickly on a busy Friday night during later dinner time! Very friendly, great margaritas! Better than average cheese dip! HUGE place, cool decor. Definitely go!”
“I don't come to Tallahassee often and when I do I struggle to find good food here.Izzy was an outlier. I ordered the spider roll and Tallahassee roll. Both were super fresh and tasty.I think my only complaints were, I think the eel sauce was a bit too much (also seemed too thick?)And i personally though the prices were quite high, 11$ for spider, and I think $18 for TallahasseeI'm used to $8 for spider and like $14 for a signature roll.All in all nice place”
“Michelle was our server and she was wonderful! Having great staff makes such a difference in our dining experience. Thank you Michelle for your wonderful hospitality!”
“The staff is very friendly and accommodating. It was a busy day for them and there was quite a long wait time (However, they apologized mentioning that they were understaffed the time I visited. So, I don't think it's something to worry about).I am not completely satisfied with the taste and the portion size. Some of my friends loved it. I am assuming that's the traditional taste of Thai food.I recommend visiting the place.”
“The food is good. The customer service is great. They just need to update their picture. the advertise as a picture, FULL SIZE FILLETS for the catfish. In reality, you get ONLY 2 FILLETS CUT IN HALF. Tybria is great as the bartender tho.”

Mimi's Table
“Our dining experience was outstanding in every aspect—meal, wine, and service alike! Maddie, our server, was exceptionally knowledgeable. She had an impressive grasp of the wine list, menu details, and the culinary techniques behind each dish. Her expertise truly enhanced our evening. We are already looking forward to our next visit!”
“I have visited this place twice and I loved it. They have the best restaurant decor in town. Whoever the owner is, he really did decorate that restaurant to impress. The drinks were on fire and the service was great. Outside of that, I do think they need to step up their game in adding more spices to their food. I didn’t think the empanadas were flavorful at all”
“We have used Proof Brewing Company as a private event venue for our company parties for as long as I can remember. I cannot say enough extraordinary things about the venue and the people. The venue is expansive, and offers lots of nook and crannies to setup different things. The bank of high-top bar tables when you first walk in provide the perfect location for your welcome information and giveaways, the area with couches and coffee tables is great to setup a little area for the kiddos, and the outdoor patios (with heaters for those cooler nights) are outstanding. We host with an open bar, and there is not a guest request the bartenders have not been able to accommodate over the years.The food is incredible! Our guests all expect to see burgers and French fries, but Proof’s catering menu rivals the best catering companies in town! From house pimento cheese with porter braised candied bacon and green onion in a mini phyllo cup, to sous vide garlic baby octopus. Every bite is amazing, and the food is attended by a team who keeps it stocked and fresh at all times. For the first events we were afraid to order some of the cold seafood dishes like oysters, ceviche, and shrimp since we used to work for catering companies, and have high standards for food safety and the presentation. Let me tell you… the kitchen team is trained well, thoughtful, and over-the-top accommodating.Overall, Proof’s communication and organization leave nothing to be desired. We used to purposefully change venues for our events to other local restaurants and bars, but have not done so since the first time we hosted at Proof Brewing Company. The location is run and staffed by some of the most genuine, hard-working people, and we cannot sing their praises enough.Tried to find a good video for those interested in hosting a private event at Proof to get an idea of the space, so I found an old video at https://youtu.be/sOrEMvrMwk4 if that helps anyone in seeing the layout. It's fantastic!”

Five Guys
“I highly recommend everyone order food from Five Guys. Today, all of us in the ER (CRMC) ordered a delivery order through Postmates. When the food was delivered we realized we were missing 3 sandwiches, so I called them. The girl that answered was incredibly nice and stated that she knew we were missing items but couldn’t get ahold of the delivery driver. She not only delivered the missing sandwiches herself (after we told her we can’t leave to go pick them up) but brought 5 milkshakes with her to make up for the mistake. We are all extremely thankful and appreciative!!”
“J’s Asian Street Food was an absolute delight to find during a recent trip to Tallahassee. We saw the great reviews online and it delivered. Service was top notch, drinks were perfectly crafted, and the food was tasty. We enjoyed a few appetizers, drinks, and entrees. The homemade bao was delicious, the wonton soup was a great starter, and the lettuce wraps were great. The ambience was impressive (see photos). We will definitely come here during our future trips.”
“I picked up a to-go order today! The restaurant was clean and beautiful! The staff was very friendly and efficient. I ordered a burrito with chicken, all of the ingredients were fresh and delicious! I will most definitely be returning. Best Tex-Mex spot in town.”
“Stumbled upon this gem looking to grab food and it turned out to be a whole Sunday Day Party! Awesome DJ and Tasteeeeee drinks (lol all puns intended) … still waiting on food”
“Lovely place, such a nice mood lighting to relax you after a long day at work. Emma C our bartender was so lovely and kind. She was very knowledgeable about their recommended menu items (drinks and food!) and really gave us a delightful experience. Thank you so much!”
“The four of us came in and were laughing about the bison until we got the sample bites. We all had to redo our order to get bison dishes. It was wonderful!Tori our server was fabulous!”
“Very good, upbeat, not stuffy for fine-ish dining. They manage diner reservations well to allow for proper service based on capable staff. Plan on a big spend for well prepared conservative portions.”
“First time here celebrating my birthday wanted a quick and nice dinner. Let’s just say we weren’t disappointed! The drink menu is what brought us in to try this hidden gem. We got the spicy Paloma , and red sangria. Both phenomenal drinks. Our server mcKenzie let us know that the tequila is home infused in jalapeños for the perfect kick and smooth drink. If you like spicy stuff highly recommend. The steak and fries were delicious, our steaks were cooked exactly as we asked! Very cozy environment and lowkey. Can’t wait to come back. Happy hour sangrias 5-7pm. Also pet friendly with outside area. Thank you McKenzie for the great vibes and recommendations. If you go ask for her! (:”
“The food was excellent. The French Onion Soup was amazing. I loved the cheesiness. The onions and croutons were a nice touch. My lamb chops were good with the garlic sauce, but without it was okay. The potatoes were good, just needed a little more salt. The ratatouille was outstanding. It was seasoned to perfection.”

A Town Wings
“Great food! I always come here when I'm in town. The service is a bit terrible, but I guess that's how you know the food is going to be good lol... just order to go and you're good! Also, wings aren't dry thank goodness:)”
“Came here for breakfast with a group of 6. Really cute spot, I love the egg wall paper, very modern! I ordered the avocado toast & bacon but I think next time I will opt out for egg on top. Everyone enjoyed their food & they kept refilling my dad's & uncle's coffee very attentively, which my dad loved lol. Our waiter was nice and super attentive!”

Masa
“When I picked up the order I asked if chopsticks and low sodium soy sauce were in the bag. He said yes to both. Once I got to the car and checked the bag they were not there. No big deal, I’m still at the restaurant. But then I get home to find the sauce that goes with my Honey Walnut Shrimp was missing was a different kind of hurt. Now I’m back…I wonder if anything will be offered for the inconvenience. I guess it doesn’t really matter because I’ll be back for more great food. Just triple check my condiments and utensils.Update: I always hope my favorite places rise to the occasion and provides great customer service…Masa did.”
“Ok. This place has been on my radar for a long time. I just never went here because, honestly the shopping center is a little run down looking. So here is my public apology on never judging a book by its cover. I am so very sorry. I should have been here a long time ago. All the food was dynamite, personnel was very nice and personable, environment was relaxed and warm. I like the old bar feeling. Couple pool tables, every one knew almost everyone except us. This is a o ce a week visit establishment at least for the busy worker needing to swing in for dinner that doesn't disappoint and a cold beer.”
54
CAVA
“Car has a variety of options to choose from, and everything that I have had from them is so delicious and flavorful. The staff is friendly, and the environment is clean and peaceful. I will update my review with a picture soon. They have a lot of different options to include vegan as well.”
“Great spot in the Hotel Duval. Food and service were excellent. Started with the BBQ shrimp. Then filet medallions and scallops. All cooked perfect and tasty. Now as far as the hotel! Well that's another review. Would not recommend the hotel right now. Needs some updating.”
“Accidentally rolled up on this place while getting gas a nearby Costco. The storefront looked inviting so I decided to give it a try. I order the crispy combination of Mahi, shrimp, and Wharfcake. The shrimp was 9 outta 10, but the Mahi and Wharfcake werent as great......7 outta 10. I got the red beans and rice and collards as my too sides. They were both hot and delicious......8 outta 10. I also ordered fried oysters and banana chocolate cake for dessert. The oysters were good but a little greasy. 7 outta 10. But the banana chocolate cake moist and flavorful.....10 outta 10. The only true negative to my experience there was that they didnt have takeout eatware. Overall my experience was there was great and I would definitely return in the future.”
“The food was great here and they serve generous portions so you will have plenty to bring home. The restaurant was busy. Our waitress wasn't attentive to us at all, but the food made up for that. Update; food is still great, portion sizes have shrunk since we've been here last. Nice waitress today. Did everything perfect.”
“Thanks to the folks at The Red Elephant Pizza and Grill on Kerry Forest Parkway for accommodating a party of 9 for lunch today. They quickly set up their back room, smoothly served drinks and appetizers, and our delicious entrees were at our table in no time. We had a variety of wings, pizzas, burgers and sandwiches. The food and service (our server was Tress (sp?)) were excellent. Thanks again for making our mini family reunion special!”

Siam Sushi
“This is the BEST food and dining experience I've had in my entire life. Oh my god. I've never had fish that fresh. It fell apart on your tongue. It tasted so good. We got dessert and the presentation and textures and flavors were perfect oh my god. Omg.”

King's BBQ
“First time trying Mr Kings bbq tonight and it was fantastic. I got the #1 bundle and it was so much food! For $42 we got 1.5 racks of ribs, 6 smoked chicken quarters, 6 smoked sausages, 4 large sides (potato salad, baked beans, Mac n cheese x 2) and bread. Best bbq I’ve had in a long time. Don’t forget to ask for extra bbq sauce because it’s delicious! Check hours on his Facebook page before you go but looks like he’s usually open Thurs-Sat 12-7.”
“Probably one of my favorite places in town along with Flood Glorious Food and Bella Bella. The plates are pristine and the atmosphere is great. I enjoy the authenticity of their French cuisine.”
“LOVED Mori's! Me, my mom, and my sister all went to Mori's in Valdosta (located on Norman Dr, kind of behind Sonny's in the shopping center) for a girls night out. We had a BLAST! The food was beyond good, it bordered on EXCELLENT. The staff was great and very friendly. We hope to be able to go again very soon.”
“Got a char ribeye. It was good and seasoned. The mashed potatoes were good as well and seasoned. I was surprised the side of broccoli was mushy just like I enjoy them. Service gets a one because our water took a tip from one table she was at and gave it to another table because they were short $1. I hinted at that table was racist and cracked a joke to the server about a single minority mother.”
“Got in quicker than the reservation said and all the different staff members were very friendly and helpful even the female manager that came and introduced herself”
“This place is absolutely amazing. Service ---- Food ---- Management - just one of the best meals we have had in a long time. We will forever make this a stop on our way to tampa. It was fabulous”

First Watch
“Visting in Tallahassee. First time eating at the First Watch restaurant. Very pleased, the food was cooked to order. Maybe a little pricey, but well worth it. Highly recommend and I will return.”
“Holy monkeys on roller blades this was the best chicken and mac n cheese i have ever eaten in my entire life. i am a very picky eater and these were the best chicken fingers ive had since i was born.”
“Ate at the bar. Friendly Chef and wait staff. Ordered the 2 person Sushi and sashimi. Fresh and plentiful portions. Will be back to have Uni and more on my birthday. 4.7 stars.”
“I will start this review by saying I was VERY hesitant to have my child’s party here due to past reviews HOWEVER, they exceeded my expectations with customer service ALONE ! I was true a Momzilla ??♀️ but my hostess looked past it . Any error I brought to her attention she was QUICK to correct . Her & the store manager Joe made sure my party was a SUCCESS ! Ms.Alicia is also the sweetest & went above & beyond . I can’t remember my hostess name but please passs on the praises to her !! Reign Saturday 3/9”
“5 stars all across the board. When I arrived I was a little iffy about placing my order especially when I saw someone having a hard time at the window, but once I got to the window the young lady was super nice and helpful. I never ate here but I love seafood, so I asked for her suggestion. Which she suggested a special called the jingle box. First , great suggestion it was so delicious. The snow crabs were succulent, and I got to say the added on seafood rice and broccoli were great as well. The wait was a little longer than other places I’ve been too but I did see everything was cooked fresh so it made sense. Will definitely be going back, the customer service and food quality was excellent all the way across.”
“Generally one can get in and out of here for a quick lunch. We ordered, ate and exited in 30 minutes. We ordered a 6 shooter, which was tasty. I didn't care for the pickles, found them a bit too sour, but the jalapeños gave a nice kick. The inside was comfortable and not noisy, so conversation was easy. Silly, maybe, but my favorite was the tootsie roll treats!”
“Not sure what is going on i've been going to captain pete's since 2002, the last two times the food has been not the quality fafal was burnt, today me bob gosh is runny, pita for gyro is way to toasted and meat is very well ”
“THEY ALLOW SMOKING INDOORS! Other than the cigarette smoke smell the place is great, loud music, plenty of TVs, decent food.Drinks are overpriced like everywhere else, but there is billiards, bowling, and arcade games! I've accidentally dropped $300+ here in one night not realizing how expensive things are.After 9pm there is a $10 cover and automatic 18% gratuity on every bill.”
“Our waitress was beautiful and so kind ! The food was good and the margheritas were really good! I enjoyed our lunch. It was our first time and we have recently moved to Tallahassee and will certainly return !”
“Tried this place with my family as they recently opened this location. We had three 10” pies as well as garlic knots. Everything was absolutely delicious and fresh. My father-in-law’s pizza got caught on the chains in the oven and had a huge hole in it. Not only did they come out and tell us, but also made his pizza again AND gave us a complimentary order of garlic knots for the inconvenience. All of the staff was so polite and courteous, it felt like we had been there many times before despite being our first time. I would HIGHLY recommend this location and WILL be returning every trip to Tallahassee.”
“Food was hot and fresh! Mrs. Tracy was very informative on the menu items and has great customer service! If you’re dining in, please request Mrs. Tracy, you won’t regret it!”

JoEllen’s
“The atmosphere was wonderful. I loved the music choices. The service was great and provided excellent recommendations. The prices were reasonable. The food was delicious along with the appetizers. I'll definitely be back.”
“BJs is my overall top 3 restaurants in Tallahassee.Food quality 9/10- food is absolutely delicious, but I do tend to see that inconsistency with how my steak is cooked. Aside from that everything else is perfect.Service 10/10- top notch quality service from those a BJs, I find it great being able to br served by friendly and understanding servers.Atmosphere 9/10- place is always in sparkling condition, but find that the small booths are a little uncomfortable.”

The Blu Halo
“Last night we had the most amazing four course dinner and wine pairing. The food was spectacular; the wines were wonderful and the service was superb! Thank you Blu Halo for donating this experience to Swift Creek Middle School silent auction. We will definitely be back for more experiences like this!”
“The sign said wait to be seated and after 5 minutes I finally peeked my head around the bar to let them know I was waiting. David, the bartender, was extremely helpful once I ordered and was very kind.”

R&R Eatery
“Maze is one of Tallahassee's hidden gems, probably the best bartender in Tallahassee. This place has a good high end bourbon selection, great atmosphere and a more upscale presence in the Collegetown scene.”

D.P. Dough
“I give all 5 stars for colin. At 2 am they ran out of food and didn’t even tell us. This red head girl just sat there vaping in front of us and did not tell us anything. Super rude, fire her. Then, Colin came out and apologized for everyone and gave us two orders. He was so sweet and knew how to handle the customers perfectly. He had the kindest smile and was so attentive. Colin was the most amazing person, he was doing work nobody else cared to do. The rest of the employees arent good employees expect colin!! he wearing an orange shirt and glasses btw !”
“Riley was a great bartender. She made the best Bloody Mary! We had oysters, fish tacos, crab legs and the cheese grits with grouper. Everything was amazing, definitely recommend!”

Coosh’s
“Five stars for the General Manager of this location!!! My daughter and I were visiting from Nashville for the FSU game and he went above and beyond to help us when we had a predicament come up while there. I forgot to get his name but he deserves a raise! Everyone go to COOSHS in college town :)”

Panera Bread
“My online order was placed (I ordered two cinnamon rolls) and I was told they were sold out. She refunded my order and then let me pick something out for free. Very good customer service! This is my new regular for breakfast and lunch on the days I have class ”

Red Lobster
“Absolutely amazing! Staff had incredible vibes all around, even the ones not serving our table. Quinn (I believe was his name) was our waiter and was by far the funniest and most welcoming waiter Ive had at a restaurant in a long time. Great food, great quality, great service. ????? ? ”
“This is a great place tucked in the back of the neighborhood. Food was good and they had my favorite appetizer, grilled oysters. The only thing missing was bread to suck up the broth from the shells. The jambalaya was good and spicy and my old fashioned was just right. Great service made the experience perfect.”
“The man that took my order was very pleasant and knowledgeable and I appreciated that since it was my first time in Howies. It was quick service and he actually served us like waiter would. Different flavored crystal was fabulous! Got the Cajun and garlic......was great!!!”
“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.”
“So I say it officially Hobbit is the best restaurant I have eaten at since doing reviews. Customer service is awesome fantastic with a lot of smiling faces a willing to help the customer. The food is made properly, along with the fries looks like they have brand spanking new. It is comparable and relaxing just sitting in this restaurant. My daughter and I both loves this place.”
“The food was good. Customer service was better. A young man by the name of Maine helped me, and he had great patience and great customer service. I would definitely be back.”
“Food was great. Waitress was great. We asked for a substitution on one plate. It came out wrong. We were hungry, so we ate it anyway.Parking: Typical shopping center parking”
“Excellent restaurant! Elegant atmosphere!! Wonderful for a date night or special occasion!!! Everything was great from salads, steak, pasta, to brussel sprouts. It is all delicious. By far one of the best restaurants in the area, if not the best. Coffee and Tiramisu are a must have after your meal.”
“I absolutely love LongHorn steakhouse in their food. Haven't been there in several years was very excited to go but having to wait two and a half hours to be seated for a large party is ridiculous and the fact that the server for my table kept not listening to us and taking care of us and was running away and we had to ask other servers to help us out with our need what's ridiculous to the point we even had to talk to the manager. I understand if he's new but that was still not acceptable.”
“Just stopped in for a quick bite around 6:40 and the food was out around 6:55 didn't take long at all! My servers name was Anaya she was super sweet and helpful. Overall the atmosphere was chill and the food was filling. I accidentally ordered cheese sticks and a slice not knowing how big they were but it was a challenge. Most definitely recommend 10/10!!”
“We were in town visiting our daughter this weekend and a large group of us dined outside last night at Cancun’s. I accidentally left my purse under the table and didn’t realize it until we made it to our next destination. I went back hoping it was still there by some stroke of luck and the employees had saved it for me behind the bar. It had several hundred dollars worth of cash and gift cards in it, and all was intact when I got it back. I’m so appreciative of your honest staff. Our waitress was adorable and very friendly and our food was good. Thanks SO much!”
Latest Reviews
“Decided to stop in here after my unfortunate experience at Hardee's and got the big cheese and sausage biscuit deal. Not the freshest biscuit I've ever had, but it was almost 10am. Friendly employee at the window.”
“Pretty cool service. The workers at the window are usually nice. I typically get the big fish meal. Sometimes I get cold food here, but recently they began making my fish meal fresh without me asking. Only downside is that it takes a little minute so you have to pull around and park to wait, but the wait isn't horrible and they bring it out to you so it works. Would come again because the fish sandwich slaps when it's fresh with a lil extra tarter sauce ?”
“Store was very clean , the cashier was very nice and the cook had everything fresh , Me & My Family felt welcome & will come back no complaints even had the television on for other customers to watch will eating”
“Soul food is definitely my thing. I had breakfast here. People smile and talk to you here. When I'm in Tallahassee, I will always find my way here. It's right across the street from FAMU.”
“First time here. Walked into a fun atmosphere and friendly staff. Black beans and rice were delicious. The Bloody Mary Charlotte made is most definitely worth going back to this establishment again. How could you not love a place that offers to take a picture of the menu because I did not have my glasses and come back with this picture. Thank you Charlotte.”
“We came here for their Fat Tuesday celebration and it did not disappoint! The staff was extremely friendly and chatting with everyone. The live music was amazing and the atmosphere itself was welcoming and lively. It was my first time visiting, and I will be sure to visit again. They have great happy hour specials and the menu looks tasty too!”
“My husband has gotten my last two birthday cakes from Q-Ti Cakes, and I hope he keeps going here for years to come. The cakes here are always rich, delicious, and gorgeously decorated. Q-Ti Cakes makes the most wonderful, custom cakes and they deliver a beautiful product. I can personally recommend their red velvet cheesecake with cream cheese frosting and raspberry cake a homemade lemon curd topping. Both cakes were absolutely gorgeous and delicious.”
“Food was very good (lamb was tender and flavorful), and service was excellent (thank you, Willborn!). The curry spice blend was tasty and the garlic naan had a healthy quantity of garlic slices. Appetizer plus main meal had both of us too full to try dessert, maybe next time we're in town!”
“Hard to find items are here. Goat milk, gray cheese, essential oils, organics, and numerous others. The deli has excellent food and I was extremely impressed with the attention to detail that every emoyee had”
“I was starving and exhausted after biking about halfway across town for work when I found this place. Did not expect to find the best BBQ in town. I had BBQ chicken and fries with a side of their regular BBQ sauce and I will absolutely be coming back to try more of their menu. The way the chicken fell off the bone almost brought a tear to my eye ?as a side note I'd like to say it still hit just as good when I reheated my leftovers later that evening.”
“They have options to suit your needs. I bought the larger rolls and they felt heavier than when I’ve purchased them from the box store. The needles were long and clean of debris.”
“Our first time eating lunch here. Ordered the chicken fajitas, chicken quesadilla and burrito supreme. A lot of good food for the price. Highly recommend this authentic Mexican restaurant with friendly staff.”
“I had the pink sugar cookie. It was the best thing I have ever had! I would post a picture except I literally ate it so fast once it was given to me. It was perfection. The store was open late so I went for a late night dessert with friends. The cookies are individually pricey but it’s such a large fancy cookie it’s worth the indulgence. I can’t wait to splurge again soon!Current favorite is the maple oatmeal cookie!!”
“This place is absolutely fantastic. If you have not been here, I highly recommend you go. Their tapas selection is amazing. The portions are not small at all. The outside patio is absolutely beautiful and romantic. The inside is elegant. Everything about this place oozes class and style. Their food is superb. They are the type of restaurant Tallahassee has been missing 100 out of 10 would recommend.”
“I go to this location like every day because it’s close to my university. I love it here, and my food is always a 10/10. The employees are super nice as well. I’d definitely recommend coming here. It’s close to FSU and FAMU so it’s super convenient.”

“Restaurant was busy but not extremely crowded. Waiting time was very reasonable (approx. 10 mins.) Service was good but we were served bread and waiter had not placed utensils for us to use. No biggie. Kept asking for items and not getting quick response- like i said- place was busy. Otherwise, server was very pleasant and treated us very nice. Food was well cooked. Definitely a pleasant experience.”

“I've had the opportunity to be at Paisano's a couple of times, and the level of quality is unmatched. I've tried a couple things on the menu and I've never been disappointed with my decisions. It's always a relaxing atmosphere; never too loud or sounding like a library. Even when they were first open, the service itself seemed as if they had been open for a dozen years. I have yet to be disappointed and look forward to the next opportunity I get to return.”

I love Kairos because for $10.50 I was able to create my own bowl packed with black lentils, mixed greens, brown rice, quinoa, hummus, harissa, babaganoush, red peppers, pickled veggies, pita, zucchini, sweet potatoes, olives, and falafel!! I feel great after eating this food. It feels like “comfort food” but I don’t feel like crap after eating this meal service was very fast and the manager Ed was very helpful. 5 Stars excellent restaurant!!

“Delicious food, friendly staff, and perfect coffee.I was greeted as soon as I entered, and the baristas were great as I asked menu-related questions.The atmosphere inside the café was really unique - the corner location for the shop definitely makes this one of the more visually beautiful coffee shops in Tallahassee!A little difficult when it comes to parking, but not too bad at noon on a Thursday.Parking: Limited parking space, and a little difficult to navigate in and out of the lot. Anyone used to Tallahassee's Midtown knows how it is, though.”
“Great new place! I stopped in on a cold day for some pho. I like my pho like I like my women... hot, fast, and rich. The combo pho ticked all three boxes for me. I like a variety and this came with all the good stuff. Everything was new and clean and the staff was very friendly. I highly recommend this place. They have bubble tea, poke bowls and a bunch of other stuff. I will be back to try new things soon and will update my review.”
“Consistently wonderful experiences! I’ve visited this restaurant at least seven times, and each visit has been exceptional. From the delicious food to the impeccable service, this place sets the bar high. I’ve yet to find another restaurant that surpasses it. Highly recommended!”
