Our most recent visit was wonderful. Great service, great food and a friendly and welcoming atmosphere. I think the change is largely due to the owners being more involved in the front of the house.

While we did have to wait a while due to our size and lack of punctuality, the staff remained professional and courteous. We sat as three separate parties but all in nearby areas and nobody minded. Our server, Elijah, was fabulous and so fun! He started a huge cheer for the newlywed couple and even comped their meals. The food was delicious and came out quickly even with our large party and a full diner besides us. The seasonal double crunch breakfast tacos were so yummy! The pancakes here are huge and phenomenal and they know what they are doing when they add in the perfect amount of chocolate chips. I tried the super fruit bowl and it was also very tasty but if you don't like chia seeds it could be a weird texture for you. Overall, very good experience and great time!

Let me just start by saying.... The service and staff were…read morefantastic. But the food not so much, My husband and I ordered the tri-fecta.... My husband's waffle had a slight bleach taste to it, and both of our scrambled eggs were completely overcooked and bland. The chicken sausage was very bland and disappointing as well. Most definitely will not be back however wanted to write this review for others to be wary. In our honest opinion not worth the wait time OR the price.

They have board games you can play insides as enjoy brunch or their yummm soda fountain shakes. Staff was warm and friendly as sampled icecream. My family really enjoyed the not overly sweet icecream flavors.The vanilla bean was delish! Definitely worth a return visit when come back to Tally!!

They've got a great text msg based system to alert you when your table is ready, so you can go to another store or wait in the car without missing out. The food is always solid and they've got plenty of healthy breakfast options. I had a power wrap today with egg whites, spinach, chicken sausage, etc and a side of fruit. Forgot the pictures before it got devoured however. The coffee is just so so in my opinion - somehow a little weak and yet a tad bitter. Otherwise, everything we've had today and on previous visits has been very good and the restaurant is clean. Service was excellent and our server came to check on us plenty of times.

To go order left a lot to be desired? I do and don't understand! Some people today were raised without work ethic. Times have changed and we witness it every day. I confess, I don't know how to get back the good old days. I guess I can only wait and dine in, usually fantastic! read more

It was breakfast time when I walked out of my dentist's office. I remembered the breakfast place…read morenext door and gave it a try. I was seated quickly and my server approached soon after. I was hungry for eggs Benedict and they offered several. The one with Bradleys smoked sausage caught my attention. I ordered it with home fries. A few minutes passed and my breakfast arrived. Chopped smoked sausage, peppers atop perfectly poached eggs and a toasted English muffin. Crispy hot home fries were good. There's no mistaking the smoky taste and aroma of Bradleys. I loved my breakfast!

Thirdly: the manager(?)came out with a floor scraper, and proceeded to successfully scrape the sticky gunk off of the floor, leaving a pile of it there for a waitress to clean up ...with customers sitting in that area, trying to eat their food! This was disgusting! The food was mediocre, as most restaurants in Tallahassee are, but the bacon is baked, making it very crispy, which was the only good thing I can say about the place. They should shut this place down and deep clean everything- replace ceiling tiles, repaint, scrape and refinish the floors, and steam clean textiles. I can't even imagine what the kitchen looks like! We will not be visiting this restaurant ever again! My hair reeked from it after leaving! Yick!

I genuinely think the only issue I had was finding parking, but that's only because it was a busy day.
