    French Toast with roasted potatoes and jalapeño got cakes!
    Deborah V.

    My little family and I love to frequent The Bark for brunch ever so often on the weekend. On this particular weekend I had the special which was a savory puffed pastry that was out of this world! My husband & youngest always goes for the French toast. My oldest never fails at ordering the biscuits and gravy with a side of fries and I am a "Specials" girl for sure. I love that they always switch it up with something new to try! If you're in town or you've never been you definitely should give this place a try. They are not only vegan but also vegetarian friendly! Service and food are always top notch!

    Food here is always amazing. However, I always order the same (see pic). Service is always friendly and the "bohemian" atmosphere is always a perfect change of pace.

    Banana biscotti pudding trifle amazingness.
    Dakine B.

    Holy moly what a spot. You'd never guess just how amazing the food is as you drive up. But wow. Kind people. Chill vibe. And vegan food that's better than its meat counterpart. Bahn mi? Amazing. Fried oyster mushroom po boy? Beyond incredible. Banana biscuit pudding trifle? To die for. This is one helluva Tallahassee gem!!!

    The fries I mentioned

    Amazing. Oh my heavens. I love you the bark. Great food and great shows. The community is amazing I feel at home as soon as I walk into this establishment, as cheesy as that sounds! Their fries.... oh my god their fries are so good I see them in my dreams at night,..... Their mac and cheese too........ amazing..... Every time I go in I know I will be served by an amazing homosexual that sprinkles their love and care into everything they prepare for me. It is an unmatched emotion. It's like being hugged by a lesbian grandmother. But she hugs you right on your heart..... if I could give this place more than 5 stars.... I would. As you'll see pictured, it is the fries mentioned before. Now I could not include this in the caption of the image because yelp wants to silence me, but I could not draw enough hearts to convey how much I love these fries. If I tried, my hands would cramp up and my fingers would fall off. But alas, I would be at peace with that as long as The Bark used my fingers to make more fries. They would never do that though because they are a vegetarian restaurant, and my fingers are not vegetarian.

    Peanut butter pie

    This place has delicious food, I'd definitely come back if I lived nearby!! The atmosphere has kind of a rocker vibe, and they do live music here. There's pool tables and it's definitely just a fun dive bar kind of vibe. The parking is horrendous, so just be prepared for that. The servers are pretty nice and helpful. I ordered a vegan mac & cheese bowl with tempeh bacon, and I'm not kidding when I say I can't stop thinking about it 5 days later. The peanut butter pie was also delicious! You would never know this food is vegan it is so good.

    Incredible venue for events and incredible vegan food. Super super kind staff and the definition of cool ambience. You HAVE to go here if you're looking for things to do around tally.

    Vegan Bánh mi, Shroom Burger with Vegan Cheese and Vegan Mac N Cheese
    Gian O.

    This place was amazing! Me and my partner Went for the Vegan Banh Mi, the shroom burger and a side of Vegan Mac and Cheese and let me just say that all of them slapped! I live near Little Saigon in Orange County, CA so I know my Banh Mi. My Partner that's not vegan enjoyed her burger as well! I really don't mind coming back here. The inside was decorated really well and there was also a stage. It looks like a fun spot. We decided to sit outside on the patio. We went on a Late Tuesday morning so there was barely any people, the service, however was still great. The prices don't break the bank either. All the food only cost about $28.

    This is a dive bar by the railroad tracks, which is coincidentally vegan. They have a pretty good menu of gastropub type food, and I was happy to have a choice of two different veggie burgers, neither one apparently mass-produced or soy-based. I chose the beet one because those always look kind of cool. It was rice and lentil-based as well, and the quality of the bun and the flavor of the fixins was quite splendid. The fries were fine, but in retrospect they had more interesting sides that maybe I should have tried instead. An Arnold Palmer (with house lemonade and multiple tea options) was refreshing. I am always a bit miffed when I am asked to tip at a place and then asked to bus my own table; things weren't especially well taken care of. But for what the place is trying to be, it seems pretty successful to me.

    Grilled Cheese, Fries, and Black Bean Chili
    Frank P.

    I took my wife here for our anniversary. We hadn't been to their brunch since they begun having customers eat in-person again. We ate inside on this visit. I had my usual Gouda grilled cheese and added avocado, tomato, onion, jalapeños, and a fried egg. I had fries as my side and I had a blue hole as my drink. The grilled cheese was amazing per usual and the blue hole was great. I normally get their mimosas but I decided to switch it up today. I would recommend this place to anyone who likes vegan food.

    Called in an order. Have no idea about service or price because my husband picked up the order for me and surprised me with the food. He got the vegan chicken tenders and Mac and cheese in a cup. The Mac and cheese was really good on its own. It reminded me of the one I make at home using coconut milk. Would definitely get again. The chicken tenders were okay. Reminded me do the chickenless tenders from Trader Joe's but bigger. More than likely soy based. Wasn't bad but I probably wouldn't get it again just because I think it's something I could make at home in the air fryer. Thankful to have these options nonetheless as a plant based woman. Will visit again.

    We are absolutely not those people.

    Totally unique vibe. Very bohemian crowd…read more Great Burgers! Particularly the chicken burger. Very Unique style, totally has its own thing going with the flavor. The best I can describe it, is that it has a retro-craft feel. I really dig it. Food comes out quick and is excellent. Bar tender and staff is friendly and chill. You can taste the cooking oil is kept clean, and is changed often by the fries and the smell. You can taste the food is made to order with real food. They also have cool events all the time. Like a poker night, and trivia night. I think the poker nights are Tuesday and Thursday at 6pm and 8pm. It's a little hard to find, tucked behind another building, just off the main road. Carful parking the little lot in the back, they have a massive pot-hole thing... just go real slow. Always seem to meet the most interesting people there. Nelson's Burger Bar is the "misfit island of toys" of the burger scene. Infact "scene" is exactly the right word to describe it. This place is a total trip. Next time your craving a beer and good burger, get yourself over here.

    On our way out of Tallahassee, my husband was craving a burger. I like burgers too, but don't crave…read morethem like my husband... but let me tell you- this was a burger not to miss! We sat at the bar- they had indoor and outdoor as well, but the bar was good. Our server was amazing- funny & knowledgeable about the menu- loved him. My husband ordered the Carolina dog and the Nelson burger and he loved them both. I loved my Nelson burger as well. It was big, but it was tasty and seemed like we had just cooked it on our grill outdoors. It was a nice, clean, bright space, and the food was delicious. We will definitely go back if we are in the area - craving a burger, hotdog, or sandwich - all of the sides/extras looked amazing as well. We will have to try those next time.
