This place is amazing. Some of the best food I’ve had. The service is top tier. From the waiters to hosts to bartenders, nothing but the best. If you have the chance, get their buffalo chicken sliders, they are so good. The brunch is the best part of this place on the weekends. The Fork and Knife is by far the greatest meal you’ll ever get from a restaurant. I highly recommend both of those and this restaurant to anyone in the Tallahassee area.

The BBQ Bacon Burger with a side of Chicken and Sausage Gumbo may be one of my perfect meals. Great flavor, burger cooked on point and the blend of sweet and spicy is right up my alley. Five out of five would recommend.

My Husband and I LOVE coming here! They have delicious food, cheap drinks, and a great atmosphere. The pasta was very tasty and satisfied my Cajun cravings. I love how many frozen drunk options they have, and they are all really tasty, too! A great spot for game days, or just grabbing some good drinks and food with friends.

If you want to have a tasty treat without traveling to New Orleans, this is your place. they have the fluffiest, softest & cheapest beignets at their little restaurant. I ended up going back again before heading back home!!

Stopped in for lunch with my daughter and the food was delicious. A lot of food for the price. Our server, Trent was friendly and was very attentive. Fun atmosphere in the heart of Collegetown.

First time here. Not only did I enjoy my meal and appetizers but the others as well. I had the gator (first try on this) and omg it was soooo good. Oh! The dipping sauce made it so much better. Their fries has a good crisp to it which is a bonus for me......But it don’t stop. I ordered the Garnet & Gold nachos for 14 as an appetizer. They load the nachos up but the taste is something I never had it was so flavorful and both went together, not overpowering photos below
