“First let me say how much we appreciate Tamra Tatum at Southern Smoke of Tallahassee. Hands down professional 10 on all cylinders. We were in a bind after the hurricane and needed a Caterer for our event 10 days away. Tamra was the calm in the storm. She worked to get our quote within 24 hours, meeting our timeline and budget.

On the morning of the event Tamra accommodated our guests with special dietary restrictions. Baby that salmon was on POINT!!! All of the food was amazing from the Smoked Chicken to Mac & Cheese, Fried Okra the greens all phenomenal.

Southern Smoke served our guests patiently with smiles and extra care. The food and service made our formal event even better!!! Please if you haven't already, try them out! You will not regret it!!! Watch out Tallahassee! Southern Smoke is here to stay!“

“omgosh amazing food and service. had the pork duo, braises beef ribs, crab cakes, and bread with herb infused oil. definitely a 10/10 in our books. it's not a quick eating place takes about 1.5-2 hours and price is up there so sharing maybe an option especially with what we had but glad we chose our own meals instead of sharing.“

“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.“

“Really like the food, except when I get dark meet which happened today.

Major atmosphere shortcoming. Employees as I’m sitting are having a heated (extra hot) argument.. going on for 10 minutes now. No evidence of leadership, management intervening. Could be a manager involved. Not sure. I realize this isn’t a law firm or other professional setting but I’d recommend at least who you hire has a minimum standard of how to conduct themselves and handle conflicts.“
