    On a hot August afternoon, we had a craving for ice cream and found Bruster's. This was our first time at one of their locations and really enjoyed it. We all ordered cones and thought the ice cream was delicious. I really liked the chocolate raspberry truffle flavor. My wife had mint chocolate chip in a waffle cone and said it was great. The guy serving us was super friendly and helpful. He suggested getting us cups of water (at no cost). Excellent customer service!!

    Super tasty sweet cold treats! Easy to walk up and order or drive thru! The customer service was very friendly! They had super fun flavors and a discount on banana splits if you bring your own banana on Thursdays!

    This location never disappoints. We got the brownie sundae and the strawberry shortcake sundae with strawberry ice cream which was a happy accident. We got the same thing at a location in JAX but this time it was much better.

    Strawberry Shortcake Sundae!

    Had a nice stop sharing the strawberry shortcake sundae. The cake was moist. I would have liked more ice cream. Perfect to share. Lots of seating. Drive thru was busy!

    My husband and I decided to get some ice cream and Bruster's came to mind. We are new to town and passed this place multiple times. I love that they are open until late. Staff was friendly and knowledgeable, they answered all our questions. While getting an ice cream I notice this very beautiful and romantic spot to the side with huge old tree covered in Spanish moss and Christmas lights. Loving it!!!!

    Always a solid spot for ice cream cravings in college and it still holds up! Bruster's is a place you can rely upon for ice cream, with a rotating variety of flavors to choose from that everyone will like. I'm a sucker for the apple dumpling with cinnamon ice cream, so I usually make an excuse to come here a few times in fall/winter. The staff are all very friendly and have a smile on their face when you visit, so you always feel welcomed. Seating is pretty sparse outside, so a lot of people use the drive-thru, but I'm usually happy to find a picnic table and enjoy the night air for a little while. It's perfect if you have your dog with you! Overall, I like what Bruster's brings to the area and glad it has stayed such a consistently good ice cream spot over the years.

    I got the smallest size and yes this is it. If you want to order large size, think twice! It was delicious, highly recommend!

    Pretty decent spot if you're looking for some old fashioned classic ice cream. Thought it was a little pricey for something so simple, but I might just be spoiled. What I Ordered: Oreo in a cup

    One of my favorite ice cream places. I hold the Tharpe location close to my heart because it was definitely somewhere I frequented in my college days with my pup after trips to the dog park and hangouts with friends I returned here tonight after having not gone in at least a year or so and had the pleasure of being served by Kianna (according to my receipt). She was an absolutely sweetheart to my dog, boyfriend, and me. Excellent customer service. Thank you Kianna!

    Best ice in Tallahassee. I would definitely go back the next time I am going back. Better than cold stone for sure.

I sat at the soda counter and ordered strawberry pancakes with bacon, and I tried their root beer flight. Turns out they didn't have all of the root beers because one was discontinued or unable to be sent to them any longer so one of my root beers was an orange soda. I liked the opportunity to try these sodas on tap and not commit to one. That's a really fun idea. Pancakes were fluffy and delicious. The bacon was good and I love strawberry pancakes so I'm a big fan when that's on the menu. I really didn't spend a lot of time there, but everyone was friendly and courteous and I didn't have to wait too long for anything from being greeted when I got there to being served. It was a great experience.

Place your order at the counter, peruse the house made candy, and tinker with a few classic toys, but don't forget to grab your table because your food is almost ready. If you are lucky, you'll be treated to a candy making demonstration. The vibe at Lofty Pursuits is classic malt shop meets toy store. It's a step back in time that is a

It was good but not WOW. Nothing special about it. Rosemary cookie: 5 stars. To me it felt like a sugar cookie with rosemary. I is VERY good and I will get more :) Raspberry cookie: 3 stars. Meh. Spicy Thai pork: 4.5 stars. It is good and flavourful. The peanuts added an unexpected crunch which I really like and appreciate (I like textured food). The serving is for two. Not really unless the both of you are on a diet ;p Looked at the cake menu and I had emu eyes on a Frangipane cake/tart. Gonna order it for next week.

Our lunch was beyond expectations! The She Crab and Tomato bisques were savory, filling, and hearty enough to eat as a standalone. Paired with the sandwiches, they satisfied our tummy with enough leftover for dinner too. The Fried Green Tomato sandwich was a perfect blend of savory and sweet with the tomato jam kissing the Rosemary Focaccia and the Boursin cheese added a nice bite. The Grilled Cheese sandwich brought us back to our childhood but better, with an adult flavor profile for refined palates. Shhh don't tell Mom. The level of care, expertise, and love that goes into each of these dishes, shines through each and every bite. We had the pleasure of enjoying Chef Leon's food at a local charity event. We were fortunate to snag a very coveted lunch spot. The restaurant is going through some changes and is currently not serving lunch BUT Chef Leon is offering soup orders on a regular basis. My goodness! I can just put all of my pots and pans away and order directly from him. I look forward to what Chef Leon has planned for us next. Be sure to follow him on Facebook to stay up to date on his plans and to get alerted to his next date for soup orders. I AM CERTAIN THAT WHATSVER Chef Leon has planned, it will be worth the wait.
