Wow! We were just walking in the Railroad district looking for something fun to eat and happened upon this place! It was absolutely delicious! We tried a number of things, with some recommended from the staff, and nothing disappointed! If I'm ever in the area again, I would definitely go again! We ate inside but there are cute tables outside on a lawn as well. They even came by and asked how we liked it! Great service and great food!! read more

Went with a large group. There were a lot of people there for First Friday. We had to wait a while to get our food, but it was crowded so I understand. I ordered the sampler plate (I'm forgetting the name). It came with wings, sweet plantains, rice and your choice of a patty. Not like a Jamaican patty, but I got curry shrimp that had potatoes and veggies in it. I didn't really like that but my friends were happy to eat it. The wings were good... I wound up having to get the sauce on the side and it probably would have been better tossed hot. Plantains were tasty. The rice was meh. It was supposed to be cilantro lime but it tasted like plain white rice. I think I would want to go and try the bowl because everyone seemed to love them. The young lady at the front was a little snippy, but it was really crowded and I think she was new. read more

Pineappétit is one of several counter service restaurants located in the food hall for the shops at Railroad Square in Tallahassee, Florida. This restaurant was recently featured amongst 6 featured on The Food Networks' Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives in 2025. It's a rather small counter service restaurant, but I think it houses just what they require to produce a quality meal. My dining companion and I split the Chicken Pineapple Bowl - A pineapple sliced in half and hollowed out, filled with cilantro, lime rice as the base, teriyaki chicken, teriyaki sauce, and topped with their signature salsa. It was definitely enough for splitting with another person and we left completely satisfied. The flavors blend well together. Yum! We also split a lemonade which was tasty and refreshing! Pineappétit also offers pasta, wings and Caribbean patties. We plan on returning to try some of the other menu items. The restaurant offers a Sunday brunch menu, but the pineapple bowl is not on it. There is also a soul food Sunday menu, but again the pineapple bowl is not on it. We previously stopped by on a random Saturday for the pineapple bowl, but they were only offering the soul food Saturday menu. If your heart is set on trying the pineapple bowl as was featured on DDD, make sure to visit on a weekday! Since the counter service restaurant is located in a food hall, the dining tables and seating are shared with the other shops. We had no trouble finding parking or a table when we visited. We plan on returning to sample some other menu items! read more

You want TACOS... let me tell you! These were by far the BEST TACOS EVER. Please come and try their food. The meat was moist, the rice had flavor.. Don't get me started on the mix on top they added with the pineapple. I wanted to take more home, but we were going out!! 100/10 would say stop here, if you're ever in the area! I'll be thinking of these when I fly back home! read more

What a great concept! When traveling for work, I love finding local gems. I saw this place when looking for something great to try. One of the hotel staff members also said this was a good choice. It's located in a food hall type setting with an outdoor courtyard. The chef was so friendly. I ordered the salmon bowl and the jerk chicken pies. Both were absolutely delicious. All of the ingredients were very fresh. I really enjoyed my entire meal, and I hope to eat here again of I'm ever in the area. read more

The best meal I've had in Tallahassee! The lamb chops were delicious . Great service, wonderful staff!

ZERO Star Complete catering catastrophe. Pineappletite catered our community event today, and it was nothing short of a total embarrassment. They showed up three hours late, without a single apology or even basic courtesy. The two staff members who eventually arrived looked absolutely miserable--like we were inconveniencing them. No greeting, no explanation--just attitude. And the food? They walked it in using a black Home Depot storage bin with a red lid. Yes, really--a bin you'd normally use to store Halloween decorations in your garage. No professional catering equipment in sight. That should've been our first and final red flag. What little food they brought included bland rice, mushy beans, and potato salad that tasted like paste. There wasn't a trace of seasoning anywhere. Worse yet, they ran out of all the main courses after feeding fewer than 20 residents. For a community event. That they agreed to cater. Totally unacceptable. They also thought it was a good idea to slice and stuff pineapples on-site, which only added to the chaos and made everything slower and more disorganized. It wasn't impressive--it was amateur hour. And just to top it off, as they packed up early because the food was gone and pizzas had to be ordered, both employees laughed and giggled walking back to their car like they were proud of the disaster they left behind. Pineappletite is a joke. They are unprofessional, underprepared, and should not be anywhere near a catering gig. Save your time, your money, and your dignity. Hire literally anyone else. read more

The service was amazing. We got the chicken tacos the sauce it came with was so delicious. They cooked the tortillas not just heated them up. They were crispy and had a great texture. Would recommend this to anyone staying or living in Tallahassee. read more

I was a fan. Only in town for a travel day, on a Sunday. I decided to go local. And this place hit the spot. I went with the Rasta Pasta with salmon and broccoli. Everything is cooked fresh. The pasta was cooked perfectly. Salmon was great. The broccoli was great. The bread was great. Did I say how great everything was? 2 people were working the restaurant. The young male employee was nice and did most of the cooking and he acknowledged me and took my order right away. A female employee seemed to be teaching him along the way. It's located inside a food hall type building. But, yeah, I would go back. read more

I decided to stop by this place while I was running some errands in the area. I remember when the owner was still selling plates one FAMU's campus. It was good to stop by now that he has a full service restaurant. I had a pineapple bowl and chicken wings on this visit. The pineapple bowl was amazing. I had a shrimp bowl for my first time and it was so good. The shrimp were plump and well seasoned. I also had the honey lemon pepper fried chicken wings. I was a little skeptical of this flavor at first but this was very good. I loved the fact that that the wings were fried hard but hey could've had a little more flavor. read more

I ordered a chicken pineapple bowl with jerk sauce and pineapple mango salsa....DELISH! The customer service was awesome. I mistakenly ordered the bowl when the restaurant was closed, but I was able to pick it up the next day. Very satisfied and I will definitely be back! read more

I was privileged to try the infamous pineapple bowl with chicken, rice, and a sweet and spicy sauce back when Pineappetit was just a food truck. Once I saw they had a freestanding restaurant, I decided to try their chicken wings and sweet plantains. The wings were wet and crispy like I like them. The sweet and spicy sauce was more sweet than spicy, and more red Thai curry flavored (which I love). The sweet plantains weren't moist like you would get at a Cuban restaurant, but were tasty and dusted lightly with cinnamon sugar it seemed. The atmosphere is modernized and they have a selfie wall for those who are interested. The service was fast, so I'll be able to come back during my lunch breaks. read more

They were closed when I went by. Disappointing but I definitely still want to try. It was a Sunday during operating hours.

I'm in town for the weekend, and my mom suggested that we stop here for lunch. I've seen filled pineapples over the years, but have never tried one. When we arrived, it was a couple of people waiting for their order & dining inside. Then more people started to arrive quickly! You could tell that the spot was "poppin"! The cashier was helpful in explaining to us what the different sauces/ salsas tasted like to help us decide. I ordered the chicken pineapple with the pineapple salsa and sweet & spicy sauce. It was definitely a party in my mouth!! I enjoyed every bite/ the experience and will visit again! read more

Let me tell you, these pineapple bowls are insanely good! I got the chicken pineapple bowl with pineapple teriyaki & sweet and spicy sauce, and the pineapple mango salsa and it was absolutely delicious! I remember my first time having one of their bowls a few years back and it was sooo good, that I had to come back when I was back in town to get one again. Definitely give this shop a chance, it's totally worth your time & money. Plus, the owner, Sam, is phenomenal! read more

Take two! After lots of positive reviews and comments about how delicious the food is, our first attempt was after homecoming last week. The restaurant was closed. So this weekend, we are back in Tally and figured we would try again. After patiently placing an order for four people - 2 pineapple bowls and 2 pastas. We were told the wait would be 20-25 minutes. So we waited. After 25 minutes, I went back inside to ask how much longer, and the young lady at the register asked what my order was, that she didn't see the ticket in the back to be prepared. Well, she was informed by SPENCER, that he would not be making the pasta, with no explanation given. So why is it on the menu? So what she was telling me is that SPENCER was only going to make 2/4 orders, when all 4 orders were paid for, over $60.00 in full. As a family of 4, why would I only want two meals. I will not be returning to this establishment. I have heard good things about the food, I can neither confirm, nor deny, as I wasn't given the opportunity to try the food. Simply, on lack of customer service, and disrespect, I will not spend my hard earned money in an establishment that doesn't value my patronage. Do better! read more

2nd visit: At 2:30 in the afternoon on Tuesday, they were out of all Caribbean patties. Also, there was no light at all in the men's restroom. And absolutely no way to dry your hands either. read more

I truly had a five star experience during my first visit here on a Friday evening. There weren't many people inside. We walked right up to the counter and placed our order after the host offered recommendations when I told her it was our first time trying the establishment. She said the wait would be about 15 minutes and I think she was pretty spot on. Time passed quickly admiring the cute decor and playing Pac-Man with my toddler on the arcade game inside. Super cute touch IMO. I had the honey chicken pineapple bowl with pineapple salsa and it was so good! Hot, and fresh ingredients. My husband ordered the chicken Rasta pasta with a side of broccoli. It also came with garlic bread! It was equally good. We tried the shrimp patty as well! Delicious! I forgot to try the plantains which are a fan favorite of mine! Will just have to try next time. And they were out of chicken wings, which I also really want to try. I will be back soon! read more

An incredible new food truck in Tallahassee! Pineappetit brings something so completely new to the capital city, serving something so beautifully simply and delicious while making it look like we're sitting on the beach in paradise! The concept is half a fresh pineapple, hollowed out, and packed with cilantro lime rice, your choice of protein (chicken, steak, shrimp, and salmon), and your choice of sauce. The chicken, made with fresh bell peppers and onions and topped with jerk sauce, was so unbelievably good and full of flavor! As an added bonus, you get 2 pineapple spears to snack on while you wait, so nothing really goes to waste! Overall, pull right over if you see Pineappetit parked in the lot! You don't want to miss this! read more

Florida residents from Miami traveling through Tallahassee, stopped for a bite. This place had just what we were looking for. You cannot go wrong with the popular pineapple bowls. Presentation alone would have you in amazement. The flavors through each bite left me hungry for more. If pasta is your thing, Pasta Rasta will not disappoint. Check this local place out if you get a chance. Oh and did I mention the friendly atmosphere and tunes you jam to will take you back to the 90's RnB! We might have to stop on our way back home. Well deserved! Bravo! read more

Great food and customer service! I got the Rasta pasta with steak and the curry chicken patty melts. My bestfriend got the pineapple steak bowl and her brother got the salmon Rasta pasta. Everything was FRESH & you could tell Chef Sam really cares about the customer experience. He came to the table to check on us. The ambiance was very chill and felt homey. It was great to support another FAMU Alum. read more

Pineappetit opened a couple weeks ago and I'm so glad that Tallahassee has another gem. I've been dining with them since they had a food truck and were serving pineapples to when they were serving soul food on Sundays. The brick and mortar offers fun and tasty cuisine. I attend the grand opening and ordered the wings, Rasta Pasta and two homemade patties. One Patty was beef and the other was curry chicken. They were both good especially topped with the Carolina gold and made from scratch pineapple sauce (could be a different name) the crusts were crispy and the filling was full of goodness. I had a set of wings and the flavor was Honey Lemon Pepper. GET IT, that's what's I'll say about that. So good! If you aren't familiar with Rasta Pasta, is a Pasta made with peppers and Jerk Shrimp, Chicken and or your protein of choice. The flavors and consistency were definitely good. I like my chicken a little less well done which I'll attribute to me not stating so and it's being literally the end of the day (I was there past closing time) All in all, Pineappetit is def a must try! read more

The Food and Service was Excellent! Chicken Rasta Pasta is Highly Recommended. The wing flavor was Sweet Honey Orange, soo good! It's also really cute decor inside. I wasn't crazy about the broccoli, but nothing a little salt, pepper and butter can't fix. I will be returning. #newbusiness #BlackOwned #pineappetit read more

I came here because I wanted something good to eat but I also wanted to try something new. I had never heard of this place so I just searched good places and o seen they had good reviews so I decided to see it for myself. They are right next to a really popular pizza place that gets a lot of traffic so I was interested to see what the food looked like here. I seen a pic of pasta (which I was craving) in a pineapple and I was sold. Once I walked in, I looked around to see everything. It was only a few people there but the energy was good. Once I ordered I asked the cashier was it black owned because I had this strange feeling that they were and she confirmed. I was so freaking excited, I thought to myself "Yes, Tallahassee is finally getting some flavor". Once I went home and first looked at the food, I just knew they were gonna get five stars. The food, the flavor, the craftsmanship! Y'all, I can't explain it! I ordered the chicken pasta with a veggie patty. Just thinking about it makes me want to scream that's just how good they were. I wish them nothing but success and some! I hope they grow and is able to make more restaurants around the world. I'm actually going back as we speak to get more because that food did not have to hit that hard! I hope they see this! You guys are the best! read more

This place was amazing. We ordered the sweet and spicy chicken with mango salsa pineapple and sweet and spicy steak with salsa pineapple. Both were so tasty. If I go back to Tallahassee for a visit I will definitely get this again. I'm looking for something similar in San Diego! read more

This is a small joint and it has some really good stuff. We had the Carolina gold chicken and the bean veggie pineapple. Also got the wings which were very nice and hot and maduro's which were sweet and tasty. Basically it's what you order in a pineapple, Which is also edible. It's a interesting take on food but it works read more

This is hands down my new favorite food truck in town! The bowls are served in half a pineapple with cilantro lime rice and your choice of protein (chicken, steak, shrimp, and salmon) and your choice of sauce. I chose chicken with jerk sauce and it was HEAVENLY! The jerk had quite the kick but was still packed with flavor! You get 2 pineapple spears to eat while you wait which was super refreshing. The protein is made with fresh bell peppers and onion and I honestly did not want it to end! The good was incredible, the pineapple bowl was a fun twist, and I can't wait to go back! read more

It was so good the food was outstanding would recommend just make sure to get silverware

There's a lot to like here but some basics could use some attention. Took my daughter to lunch this afternoon at the new location. Right next door to Brooklyn Pizza on Pensacola St, so this will be a prime spot for students and folks coming to town for football games, etc. They offer counter service and have done a really nice job with the decor and furnishings. We split an order of 20 wings and a side of the sweet plantains. The wings were fantastic and were 5 star in my opinion. We chose half jerk seasoning and half lemon pepper. Both were great. The jerk had just the right amount of heat and the lemon pepper were simply outstanding. They contrasted the jerk wings perfectly. The plantains were good but didn't stand out. My main issue was the lack of drink choices. They offer Calypso juices or water. Let me be up front on this. I work for the local distributor that sells Calypso and I'm thrilled that they offer it and carry a nice selection of flavors. That being said, it is extremely sweet/loaded with sugar. If that's your thing, then great but it's not for everyone, myself included. I would have gotten water instead but it was room temperature and no ice was offered...this is no bueno. Maybe there's a good excuse why the water wasn't cold but they had all of the bottles of Calypso in a branded refrigerator at the counter so I can't understand why water wasn't cold too. No soda fountain or bottled sodas offered. My other issue was how the food was served. We were dining in but they brought the food out in to go styrofoam containers in a plastic bag. Why build such a nicely furnished restaurant and not serve food properly for customers that are dining in? Again, maybe they thought we were getting it to go but they never asked and I can't recall noticing if the other patrons dining in had regular plates and cutlery offered. I look forward to returning to try the pineapple bowls, pasta and the other menu items offered but hope they improve the dine in experience and expand the beverage options. read more
