There is good restaurant and then there is midtown caboose. I would give away my first born child to taste their burger and mashed potato combo one last time. Unfortunately I need to go back to my country, but will continue to tell my village the greatness of the midtown caboose. My wife actually snuck some extra mashed potatoes in her pocket and we enjoyed them later read more

Always a great time at Midtown Caboose! The burgers are phenomenal. They have something for everyone. I ordered a burger off the speciality menu. Highly recommend the sweet potato fries! They are delicious. Parking lot out front which guess completely full so may have to find elsewhere to park. Server was very friendly and host was kind as well read more

We were driving around Tallahassee looking for a unique local place to stop for lunch when we happened upon Midtown Caboose. The exterior was interesting and we didn't even think it was a restaurant at first but it looked intriguing so we stopped. Parking was tight and the lot was full but we managed to snag the last spot. We had our pup with us and did not see any outdoor seating so we decided to make an order for pick up. The menu was overwhelming. They had so many unique things on offer it was hard to decide so we each ordered a lunch and we got an appetizer to share. We ordered the pulled pork wontons to start and I had to order the caboose blt because I am a sucker for fried green tomatoes and sourdough bread. I ordered the hushpuppies on the side as well. My husband had the Liberty Bell burger because he loves a Philly Cheesesteak and was excited to try their play one one and he ordered his with tots on the side. It came to $55 for all that before tip. When my husband went inside to pick up the food they had just finished bagging it and handed it off to him, however when we opened the food a bit later, there were no napkins or utensils inside at all. We had to eat the entire meal with our hands. That was ok for some of the food but the wontons/eggrolls and sauce proved a bit more difficult and I don't particularly care to eat greasy food with my hands, especially without napkins. Things like that matter to the customer. The food was ok. My hush puppies look burnt in the picture but they tasted just fine and the blt was...well, a blt. It was a bit dry and you couldn't really tell they tomatoes were fried. My husband said his food was fine as well. The wontons were supposed to have been "award winning" but they were a little strange and the sauce was sour and not to our liking. For all the unique menu ideas, the actual presentation fell flat, especially at the price point. It wasn't terrible but it just wasn't that good either. read more

We stopped in with the family to get something to eat. The atmosphere was cozy. The staff was very attentive. I got a cheeseburger patty melt with chopped cheddar cheese and order of fries. The burger was good. I liked it on the sourdough bread. My wife got a salad with grilled chicken. She said the greens were very fresh and the chicken was cooked to perfection. read more

Midtown Caboose - Sweet Potato Fries - New American Near Me - Tallahassee, Florida

It's the concept and unique curb appeal that made me stop. It was in the mode to be wowed by a boutique eatery. Entering the restaurant the hostess was very nice and accommodating. The seating was tight. I could reach out and touch my neighbor. The chair seat was hard, like no cushion at all. I ordered the Georgia Peach Tea - it's priced above $10 but tasted like water; the Runaway Train with Turkey, I wasn't a fan; and sweet potato fries- mediocre It just wasn't what I was expecting. read more

My friend and I were visiting Tallahassee and found this restaurant on Yelp. We showed up about 45 minutes before closing but didn't feel rushed. There were so many burgers and items to choose from. My friend had a soup/salad combo and she loved the soup. The salad was huge (could only imagine what the regular size looks like). I had the gator hater burger. It was AMAZING! I had a side of Mac & cheese...also very good. Service was super friendly and nice. This place is on my list to go to next time I am up there! read more

We were driving from Jacksonville to Panama City Beach and decided to stop here for lunch today. It was a great decision. We arrived right around eleven and it's a good thing we did because by the time we left the parking lot was completely full. The menu offers plenty of appetizers, salads, sandwiches , and more than enough burgers with plenty of unique names and ingredients. I went with the Gator Hater burger. It came with cheese, onions, lettuce, tomato and bacon on toasted sourdough bread. It was a good size burger and very tasty. My husband had the Italian Stallion burger. It came with pepperoni, mozzarella cheese and marinara sauce. He loved it. Sides included french fries, tater tots, green beans, cole slaw or fruit. Service was friendly. read more

Midtown caboose is a Tally staple! Burgers are always amazing and their options are unreal. Some of the most unique burgers I have ever seen and they are also delicious. Which in my experience is very hard to balance, spent multiple birthdays here and look forward to coming back here again! read more

Midtown Caboose Burger never disappoints. The burger was juicy, flavorful, and cooked just right, with fresh toppings and a perfectly toasted bun. You can tell they care about quality, not just piling stuff on a plate. Solid portions, great flavor, and a laid-back spot that's easy to love. If you're craving a legit burger, this place delivers every time. read more

I've been here several times throughout the last 10 years (as well as their previous location) and they've always been incredibly consistent. Our waitress, Kayla, was amazing. Super friendly, patient, and knowledgeable on all of the menu items. My greek squad wrap was flavor forward, which is always great to experience when eating a vegetarian meal! The hushpuppies were hot and the portions are generous. The table also ordered the triple play, gater hater, the oh canada burger, and meatball sub. Every item was well loved and there isn't much on the menu that I wouldn't try. Definitely a staple to Tallahassee culture! read more

In town for business and decided to stop by. Ordered the PB&J burger with sweet potato fries and decided to try the pulled pork wontons. The PB&J burger is not something I would typically go for but read on the reviews it was the best selling burger so I gave it a try. You can choose the jam for your burger with choices of blueberry, strawberry, or grape. I ordered blueberry. First bite I couldn't decide if I liked it or not. Second bite it hooked me. You can taste the juicy burger with the sweetness of the peanut butter, then comes the crunch of the bacon, and lastly the sweetness from the blueberry jam. Wow! I'm impressed. This burger may not sound great but it truly is something special. Give this one a shot and you won't regret it. Now after giving the burger so much praise I'll share that the sweet potato fries are also very good. I could only eat a few due to the burger being so filling though. Lastly, I decided to try the pulled pork wontons as I hadn't eaten all day. Yep you know the feeling right? You're eyes are bigger than your stomach lol. I learned my lesson. Now these are basically pulled pork egg roles. They were very greasy so I could only eat one and they come with 5. I personally wouldn't order these again but that's just me. Overall the burger and fries are well worth the visit. Stop by this place on your next visit to Tally or if you're in the area. You won't be disappointed. read more

This was a great spot to stop by and grab a burger. I had the Italian stallion, a twist on the traditional pizza burger that included the sauce and cheese, but also had pepperoni on the burger - absolutely delicious, and perfectly prepared. The burgers are a little bit higher priced than the standard burger place at $18 for the burger, but overall and excellent value. Service from Danielle was efficient and friendly. This is not a high-end restaurant, but they do have many seating options including a covered outdoor patio that's not visible from the parking lot, making this restaurant much larger than it appears. Overall, if I lived in the area this would be a place I'd visit frequently. read more

Tried this place for a second time. 2 stars only because the menu is cool. Lots of unique choices. The food is just not good. Burgers are 100% frozen. The rest of the food is just so so. Had hush puppies this time and they were the best part of the meal. Far better places in town to grab a good burger. I think this is another place in town that has the locals hearts and as such continues to do business on how good it used to be. read more

Had excellent Cheeseburger and opted to try the Mashed Potatoes and Gravy. Grrrreat! Wife had pulled pork and fixings on side. Good bbq sauce and pork was good. No room for desserts. Good service, like room in back as it's cold inside. Ambiance w/covered outdoor and a bar too? Nice place to hang out and enjoy casual dining. read more

I think this was my first time trying this particular place. Pro tip there is parking in the back of the establishment that is much easier to access and maneuver in. They have indoor and outdoor seating that is pretty standard. Our waitress I believe was Liz and she was great. I should've tried a burger and I was pleased to find out that they are connected to the former Wells Burger joint that closed a few years back. But I opted for the quesadilla which was still pretty good, I just didn't love the salsa. I ordered the hush puppies for my side and they were just OK. They have a ton of burgers that are almost overwhelming to consider and you can also build your own. I'll definitely give this place another whirl. read more

Service is key in Customer Service. Or at least in my case any kind of help would have been nice. Never got to order, I asked to place a Togo order when I walked in and was directed to the back or restaurant where the bar is said someone would help me......no one was there or offered to help me so I kindly Re-Directed myself back to the parking lot and got back in the truck. Wasn't even that busy but lots of workers standing in kitchen area smiling as I walked by twice lol so maybe I'll try again one day but after reading reviews from other folks, if true I do not even like frozen hamburger meat. So Maybe NOT...... read more

Imagine you've only had a coffee for breakfast, you've finished walking around town for hours, and you need some good ole American food. This was us and this is the place you need to come to. The first bite of the Mac Daddy was like a cheesy wonderland that melted in your mouth. A great choice if you love Mac n cheese and burgers. The mother of dragons had a good kick to it, but not overpowering where you couldn't enjoy the bbq sauce and fried egg as well. I recommend either of these, which will leave you satisfied after. Service was quick and the restaurant was very spacious so we got seated right away. Would recommend! read more

Amazing menu and great service. Perfect place for a meal with friends, family or colleagues. This is a hidden gem.

We always enjoy our visit to Midtown Caboose. The food is always consistent, fresh and delicious, service is efficient. We always sit outside. The menu is worth studying. It is so interesting and you have the option to put a beef patty or chicken breast on your burger. There maybe another option these are just the two we choose. We'll be back for sure. read more

This is our second time eating here. We love the food, service and atmosphere. My daughter is a freshman at FSU (Class of 2029), and we first came here after I read reviews of this place on X.

So so burger ok good burger mostofthetime do you realize you're talking 16 and $18 for a hamburger come on they charge you the same thing for a veggie burger give me a break. It's not a burger in the world worth that kind of money. I don't give a shit how big it is and the place definitely needs to be cleaned up read more

This place is a solid choice- go early and when you have some time to consider what you want because their menus - stressing Menus cause they have a few will keep you on your toes there's quite a few options so if your indecisive or have anxiety definitely plan ahead or avoid this place-- This menu has a lot of atypical options and you're sure to find a few that you want to try - PRO TIP go with someone or a group so you can get a few options and share. Service was fine vibe is decent simple tables and booths, but they go above and beyond with the drinks and suave options. They have A LOOTTT OF SAUCES. So get some fries and try or thoughts and get to dippin! Overall give this place a 7.2 it's nice and you'll want to go a few times to try a couple options but the menus can be a bit much and I did find the flavor just a little lacking The waffle burger was good don't get me wrong but it don't hit like I had hoped. It doesn't seem like enough effort was out into the waffle or each ingredient. Still worth a try! read more

The Midtown Caboose is a long-standing and iconic restaurant in Tallahassee, Florida. They have some fantastic hamburgers, as well as other great menu items. The parking lot is kind of tight, but I was able to find a spot. Walking in, it is a simple ambiance, but it definitely works. My server came over and since I am a huge fan of hot and spicy, I opted for their Mother of Dragon hamburger. For my side, I went with their French fries. Hey, why mess with an iconic duo, right? My burger and fries came out pretty quick and I have to say that it was truly a stellar burger. I had it cooked medium-rare and it was perfectly cooked. The Midtown Caboose is a great option for a hamburger in the Tallahassee, Florida area. Not only is the food great, but the staff is friendly and professional and the overall vibe fits perfectly with their simple burger driven menu. I will give it five stars and I would definitely recommend the Midtown Caboose. read more

I love all the variation you can get at Midtown Caboose. 3/4 of us got the runaway train burger, one with burger meat, one fried chicken, and one grilled. It was like 3 different experiences, but all so delicious and not like something i had ever had before. There were many creative takes on burgers and sandwiches and I was pleased that our server did not mind getting us multiple sauces as they had a plethora of signature and housemade sauces. My favorite was the railroad sauce which was a little spicy and horseradishy but I also really enjoyed the maple mayo that came with the burger. The tater tots were crispy and the fries were also crispy but not as flavorful, however, great vehicles for sauce. read more

Cool menu, terrible execution. My burger was not good. Could tell the tiny, thin little patties had been frozen, and there didn't seem to be a bit of Philly meat on it. Red beans and rice were awful and inauthentic. GF bun was decent, but not enough to make up for the burger. Server was nice but, very slow and didn't seem to be trained well. Definitely won't be back. read more

The food wasn't bad. It's just a dirty kind of place. Doesn't look super organized or in any real order. The parking is horrific. The atmosphere is pretty bad. I'd personally rather eat at home. Won't be back. read more
