Showed up for lunch on a Friday. Ordered the Nelson. Amazingly good burger. Service was delightful. Atmosphere was "hole in the wall bar" with power ballad music videos playing. I loved it.

Was up in Tallahassee for work and stopped in for bite. Love the atmosphere of the place. The burger was very very good. If you have an adult beverage they let you roll a dice to see if you get a discount. If I ever comeback up here, I will make sure to come back.

Came in on a Saturday game day, a few hours before kick off. We had no problem getting a table and the service was fast and friendly. The food was exceptional and very well-priced. This may be our new pre-game spot, we will definitely be back!! We had the mushroom swiss burger, the chicken bacon ranch wrap and the buffalo chicken wrap. We all loved our entrees and they were all very big portions!

Love how fresh the burgers are. Prepared perfectly!! The Philly Cheese is not only huge but one of the best I've ever had. Coleslaw & baked beans made Southern style......
Great restaurant, welcoming & overall 10 out of 10 🎯💯⭐️

Love seeing Nelson's success with their fantastic burgers, loaded fries and many other items now they have a full bar!
Fantastic location for a meal and/or cocktail before/after an FSU game.
My current favorites are the Nelson cheeseburger and the loaded Buffalo Ranch fries?

Local hidden gem. Quick service that saved the day during the hurricane Helene! They only offered fried food during the hurricane event, which was greatly appreciated! We need to come back n try their highly recommended burgers one day. Thanks!

A True Hidden Gem in Tallahassee – Nelson’s BurgerBar
I recently took my daughters to Nelson’s BurgerBar for dinner, and I can confidently say this establishment is a true hidden gem here in Tallahassee, Florida. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by a warm and welcoming staff who went above and beyond to provide exceptional service.
The menu offers a wide variety of delicious options, making it a perfect spot for the entire family. Whether you're craving classic burgers or something more unique, Nelson’s BurgerBar has something for everyone. For the adults, the bar offers a great selection of drinks, and I was particularly impressed with their daily deals, which make enjoying a meal or drink even more enticing.
One of the standout features of Nelson’s BurgerBar is its fun, interactive environment. They have clever games where customers can win discounts on drinks, adding an extra layer of entertainment to your visit. The venue also hosts live music nights, game nights, and broadcasts major sports games, making it an ideal spot for all occasions.
The attention to detail extends beyond just food and entertainment – even the bathroom is uniquely designed with a nightclub vibe, where my daughters and I couldn't resist making a fun dance video. It’s the little things like this that set Nelson’s BurgerBar apart from the rest.
Whether you're a Tallahassee local or just passing through, I highly recommend visiting Nelson’s BurgerBar. It’s the perfect combination of great food, a lively atmosphere, and unforgettable experiences.

Came across this place on route back to our hotel, was interesting, they had some happy hour offers on which was nice if not a little odd, they needed you to roll a dice to establish what you get. Apps were happy hour too with 50% off. Unfortunately in the process of sorting the bill they didn't get reduced. The food was ok, some came quickly, some got forgotten, but it tasted fine. Drinks were good. Portion sizes for some of the food was impressive!

Nelson's Burger Bar is truly one of the best restaurants in Tallahassee. Situated in a shack building once home to Voodoo Dog, they serve delicious burgers, chicken, hot dogs, and much more. The staff here is quite pleasant. Nelson's also has offbeat decor with splatter-painted walls. The restrooms have disco balls hanging on the ceiling and blacklight. Many college students have flocked to this surprisingly popular dive bar. Every Monday, they host a weekly Super Smash Bros. video game tournament. Local, aspiring musicians also perform live music gigs here. My first impression of their food is that I'm impressed with how they're cooked to perfection. I've had the Nelson Burger meal with crispy crinkle-cut fries and a cup of Coca-Cola. The burger itself is juicy, fresh, and quite filling. They may have a bit much fat in them, but they're scrumptious nonetheless. Their house-made ranch is also top notch. I would love to visit Nelson's Burger Bar again sometime.
