Egg, cheese, & sausage croissant. Build your own omelette with potatoes.
Tia B.

Great food service was a little lacking but overall would come back was down for FSU game day and found this place on yelp and thought we would try it out.

Woodchuck Special
Henry M.

Stumbled upon Woodchucks a few years ago when I was a freshman at FSU. While some may be off put by the exterior, I suggest that you walk inside and enjoy the food. While there are some items on the menu that I would not order again, the reality is that you come here for a cheap and hearty meal. I typically order the Woodchuck Special or the Hungry Man. The service is always nice and they are quite accommodating and are quick to greet when guests walk in. The ambience is rustic and clean, with nice decor showing the history of FSU and Tallahassee.

Ordered 1 biscuit vs the normal 2... all this for like 7 bucks!
Mari H.

Found this little divey diner gem on Yelp that had great reviews. They were not wrong. Greeted with a smile and told I could sit anywhere I liked and was asked what I'd like to drink before even sitting down. Coffee was in front of me within seconds and a menu and the young waitress asked if I would like any suggestions. She was sweet and we chatted a little about me being up in Tallahassee for the weekend and funny enough, she is moving to Tampa Bay for school in August. Good choice! One of my go to items to "test" a breakfast place is biscuits and gravy. After confirming the gravy is homemade with another wait staff member, I ordered my meal but with just 1 buscuits vs 2. She was also really sweet and ensured my order was done in a way to be more cost effective for me. GREAT customer service and I immediately thought how because of her actions, my savings on the bill was going directly to their tip. I noticed their display case had cupcakes in there that looked delicious even from afar so I got up to check out the situation. I learned that the owners (brother and sister) mother makes them. They weren't cupcake sized, they were muffin sized and only $2.79 each. Sold... okay maybe 3 were sold!! They weren given to me in individual to-go containers and the one had lots of toppings so was brought over to me without the lid because she didn't want to be the one to push it down and ruin the toppings herself. I thought that was cute. They all looked great so I understand her thoughts. When given my bill I was asked if I would like a to-go coffee. Everyone was very attentive and so nice. It was a great customer service experience on top of the great food. I mean, I could see the butter pieces within the biscuit let alone taste them. I actually thought about going back the next morning but made myself try another breakfast location.

Western omelette, home fries and biscuit.
Bret I.

I can't believe I haven't updated my review in 7 years! What I can tell you is that Woodchuck's Cafe is still a great for breakfast! If you are a fan of traditional diners, then this place is for you. The menu covers all of the bases when it comes to breakfast, and then some. I've uploaded a menu so you can see the current prices and menu options. Suffice to say that they very likely have whatever you are in the mood for for breakfast. I went with a western omelette, home fries and a biscuit. Shortly after ordering the server came back and said that they were out of ham, but that I could substitute any other breakfast meat. So I went with a sausage patty. The omelette was full of filling and perfectly cooked. That home fries were delicious: thinly sliced potatoes are cooked on a flat top grill. I am a huge fan of the crispy bits of home fries, and I loved these. The biscuit was good, but not spectacular. The coffee was good, and they will bring you milk/cream if you ask (the table has containers of coffee mate). Don't let the location, next to a gas station mini mart, put you off. If you do, you'll be missing a great breakfast spot.

Breakfast Bowl
Andrew B.

I've been coming here for the past decade, it has always been one of the best hidden gem locations in town. The wait can be EXTREMELY bad during peak times, especially on FSU game day weekend but it is well worth the wait for some great comfort foods. I got the breakfast bowl this time but their omelets are amazing, the burgers and sandwiches are great too. If you haven't come by to try this spot, you're missing out!

Danielle F.

Every time I am in Tallahassee I visit this location multiple times and this weekend wasn't any different. When I thought of breakfast I knew exactly where I needed to ho. It was a busy weekend so they were out of some of my favorite things but the secondary options I chose were just as amazing. I even managed to bring my niece one day and the next day she brought 2 friends along because the food was so good.

The restaurant is a nice opportunity to get some soul food. Yet, the food really needs more soul…read more No wait time at our noon visit to Saturday brinch. Our visit was lackluster to say the least. Only a couple of tables active so it's difficult to judge efficiency. The limited brunch menu prices were pretty decent for these days, about $20/pp +tx, tip. Service could have been a little more attentive. We had fried chicken platters. The main course of chicken wasn't bad yet could be better. Cooked done but still juicy, which is a plus. Not battered but possibly a light flour dredge, with no seasonings so very light coating and somewhat lacking in flavor. We added a side of gravy which was delightful; a hearty beef debris sauce fit for a proper poutine, (which they don't serve). The collards, had a bitter to maybe even a fishy? taste. Not southern style at ALL. The Mac and cheese... needs a lot more cheese and butter, also that crusty cooked home style taste was missing. All in all a so-so meal with a lot more potential. The decor could use some livening up. The theme is a bit heavy for a good restaurant. It could use some lighter, colorful, lively adornments. We'll be back to try again. One of our members used to frequent Early's to retrieve food for the governor's mansion and raved about it. So, a little back to the future is needed.

My dining companion and I recently visited Olean's Café. This restaurant location has been here…read morefor what seems like forever. Adams Street is a quiet street on this particular Saturday morning around 9:15 am. But inside the restaurant, there is a flurry of activity behind the counter, the aroma of breakfast makes us smile when we enter and there is a line that stretches to the door. Folks are waiting. Few dine in and most are carrying out several to go boxes per person. The prices are reasonable and for the portion size, I would say budget-minded. Get the Olean's omelette. It's generously sized and enough for 3 meals. It looks nothing like a traditional omelette. It reads more like a breakfast casserole. Eggs, potatoes, sausage, veggies and cheese. It's comfort food on a plate. I am so sorry I didn't take a photo to share. I highly recommend this meal option! My dining companion ordered scrambled eggs, bacon and plain grits. My dining companion stated they were the best restaurant grits they'd ever eaten. The bacon was piled high on his plate! He took 1/2 this meal home. Mrs. Olean is behind the counter and just as personable as can be. She sets the tone for hospitality and it shows with her courteous staff. There was ample parking. The dining room is small, probably 10 tables in all. Most seem to be taking bags with their to go containers. Few people leave with one container. We will certainly return for some of their lunch options next.

This is where me and my coworker go to treat each other because of how great it is. Can't go wrong…read morewith anything they serve. Personally I love the oxtails and turkey. The girls at the front are so sweet and fun and let us know what to get every time. I'm still trying to come for their Tuesday hot chicken.
