“First of all, this is for my people with gluten free needs
They flagged my order with a gluten allergy. I had gluten free cheesy grits, sausage, scrambled eggs with cheese, gluten-free toast with butter and jelly. The food is basic and was VERY GOOD.
I always appreciate when restaurants have gluten-free options. And support with knowledgeable staff.
I recommend it, and I would definitely eat there again.
I took my food to go so I won't comment on the restaurant interior. I do not have Celiacs but can usually tell if there's gluten.“

“My first time experiencing Vale and I must say “super duper” delicious! Steve was the best! His customer service was superb! I will most definitely be back!“

“5 Stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I had an incredible experience at Culver’s that went far beyond great food. I accidentally threw away my phone with my tray and was honestly panicking. When I told the staff, they immediately jumped into action and went through their trash—without hesitation—to help me find it. Their kindness and willingness to help meant the world to me. That level of customer service is rare and so appreciated. On top of that, the food was absolutely delicious and made fresh. You can tell they take pride in both what they serve and how they treat people. Thank you to the amazing team at Culver’s—you truly went above and beyond!“

“Food was great. There was confusion on who covering bar, assumed it was carry out order. 3-5 TVs but not able to change any to football...on a Sunday? Forced to take food to go, because not everyone wants to see espn2. Clean atmosphere, pricing was good with $1 wings and 2-4-1 drafts.“

“Went there this morning for breakfast and it was yummy! Will definitely go back.“

“Right next to my home/work . They have the best tasting fried chicken, they even have a nifty little Drive-thru. I am a firm believer in Krispykrunchy chicken now“

“Great tasting food. We enjoyed ourselves“

“The food was to die for. Our server, Nolin, was excellent. He gave us the time of our lives. He’s single, ladies!“

“The appetizers were very good. We ordered two steaks, the Steak Frites and the 14oz Ribeye. They were good, but I genuinely believe the bone-in ribeye that I had at Texas Roadhouse was clearly the better steak at less than half of the price. For $67, I expect dry-aged, prime-cut beef. This was not dry-aged and I am pretty sure it was choice beef. Charging $67 for that ribeye is highway robbery. Do not recommend given the insanely high prices. Go to Outback, Longhorn, or Texas Roadhouse and save yourself some money“

“Great happy hour. Consistent beer“

“My first time experiencing Vale and I must say “super duper” delicious! Steve was the best! His customer service was superb! I will most definitely be back!“

“I was very pleasantly surprised that this little cafe at the Tallahassee Museum had such good and freshly made food for good prices. We had grilled cheese and a chicken club sandwich, both were vert good. Nice to be able to lunch or snacks while enjoying the day here“

“You guys the best pork chops ever everything is delicious my family and myself highly recommend“

“Fun place to hang out! Great bartenders and servers and even better deals. You can’t go wrong at Millers!“

“I come to Tallahassee frequently, maybe every 4-6 weeks. When I do, I stay in Hotel Indigo and eat here for breakfast and most dinners. I've never had a bad meal. The parfait and omelette are excellent choices for breakfast and the ribeye is an excellent choice for dinner. The servers and bartenders are always friendly, even if they are sometimes understaffed and a little slow on the rare occasion.“

“The Halibut dish with shrimp/scallops/mussels at Charlie Park is absolutely the best I have ever had. Best view in town. Thank you for the new menu!“

“Great experience. Service and food were very good“

“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. 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.“

“Stayed at the hotel and wanted to come for dinner but they closed early so we decided to try them for breakfast. It was a great variety but tasted standard.. nothing was out of the ordinary or impressive. However it was good for what you got, an all you can eat continental buffet and basic hot breakfast bar. The server/manager was great, she was very attentive and polite. If we return it would be for her service cause the food didn't hold a candle to her.“

“The food is amazing! Excellent service“

“Tried this truck the other day after seeing lines at the truck every weekend. It was awesome! Had the baked chicken with cabbage and yellow rice. Highly recommend. I'll probably be there every Friday now.“

“Canopy Roads has been my go-to breakfast spot before going to work.

I like the healthy options and coffee. They offer loaded skillets, omelettes, pancakes, and coffee.

Come early to get a table. A line usually starts around 8:30 on weekends.“

“My original post I had a 5 out of 5 stars but I came here December 12 the night of my graduation at FSU to show my family this cool place I’ve been so fond of for the past year. We came in at 11:30 under the assumption that the establishment closed at 1am. The taps were completely closed by midnight and all tabs were closed at this time as well. In the past I have 100% been served after midnight. I’m just confused if the employee wanted to go home early. Also the male employee working said we could purchase to go beers after our tab was closed out. He mentioned they were half off but we could not drink them in the establishments. Was not the welcoming environment that I have had in the past. Basically everyone was almost forced to leave at midnight even though the sign on the door clearly says 1“
