Underrated sandwich spot! Friendly and fast service. The soup of the day seemed to be pretty popular! Plenty of seating inside and it's clean. read more

Hopkins Eatery - Sandwiches Near Me - Tallahassee, Florida

This is my favorite spot when I am in the mood for a salad, I get the Chicken Tetrazzini with no onions and extra green peppers every time and it makes my soul so happy! I get the "mini" for one serving but if I want to save some for later, I will get the "regular." I think their portion sizes are large. I love getting extra crackers with my salad. They also have great sandwich options as well as soups and freshly baked cakes. They have a loyalty program so make sure you sign in on the computer when you go. I usually get a to-go order and my food is ready in no time. The inside is always clean and there is plenty of seating should you choose to dine in. Parking could be a little tight as the establishment is all the way in the corner of the plaza. read more

I've recently started eating Hopkins quite a bit lately. I have tried The Cuban, Chicken Tetrazzini salad, Cashew Chicken salad, and a custom roast beef sub. The service was good and prompt, I order in advance to pickup and there's usually no issue so far. The ambiance was alittle cramped but it isn't a terrible layout. read more

I wanted a salad and Hopkins was the first place I thought of. I got the Cobb salad with chicken salad instead of grilled chicken. The salad is huge, filling the container. Their house-made creamy Italian dressing is delicious! (And they sell it by the bottle) My one complaint is that the chicken salad was mediocre and dry. I did get the mint tea, which is top tier. read more

Best sandwich and salad place it town. This is the type of place where all of the flavors really hit the right spots.

Second day in a row eating here. When I tell you the best salad in town hands down. This is the best salad I've ever eaten in my life. The best with or without dressing. I have here the grilled chicken salad but customized. No green peppers, no onions, no tomatoes. Add cucumber and eggs with the house made Italian. The absolute best! Make sure you're at the Capital Cirlce SE location! read more

The best sandwiches, salads, soups, dessert bars and cakes, and tea. Also, there's outdoor seating and sometimes curbside service, which makes it safer during this pandemic. A long-time local treasure, with 3 locations. read more

Ordered grilled chicken salad. It was ok, lots of lettuce and very little chicken, only a small wedge of a tomato.

Food was decently priced and full of flavor. I built my own sandwich and just got roast beef and cheese on a poppy seed roll. Very casual atmosphere and the girl that took our order was pleasant. I didn't see any outside dining but the inside is much bigger than i expected, if it wasn't so far away from me i'd go there more often. read more

I live 69 miles from this restaurant. I come to Tallahassee from time to time. A few years ago I wanted something different and a friend of mine said I should try Hopkins deli. Let me tell you, if your hungry and want a clean great sandwich or wrap, with a clean seating that is quite with lite music in the background this is the place. I have come here probably 6 times a years for at least 4 years and I have never been disappointed. The tea with mint in it is refreshing And the brownies are awesome. Pecan is my favorite. Do yourself a favor and eat a healthy meal here. read more

My first impression of Hopkins Eatery was "Holy smokes, why is it so big?" And gentlemen, as much as we all love to humor this question, this time it doesn't appear to be all satisfactory. Hopkins could be two, potentially three sizable restaurants. Although space isn't all that important in the grand scheme of things, it simply came off rather awkward. With that said, the food was tasty. The Smothered Beef melted in my mouth. The fresh bread (could be homemade) was soft and airy. However, the sandwich as a whole was a bit too oily, in turn sogging each bite. The blueberry cheesecake for dessert was creamy, fruity and everything I had hoped for. I enjoy simple, fresh ingredients, but the menu seemed to consist of primarily all of the same items. Sprouts, veggies, turkey, cheese and so on. Good food, not great, but worth giving another try. read more

I love the chicken salad sandwich!! They stuff a lot of chicken in these sandwiches!! The carrot cake is the towns best! I go here atleast once a week. read more

The food is always so good. I order to go but the fact that they make everything fresh. I get the Linda w/o sprouts. The in-house dressing they make is to die for. They also sell it by the bottle, which is now in my fridge. Can't say enough good things! read more

Fantastic sandwiches. They've been open for 28 years and they know what they are doing. I've had salads, soups, and sandwiches here, all delicious. Today I'm having a Turkey on rye. The bread seems home made, turkey is not processed (!) And has a big hole slice of cheddar with lettuce and tomato. It's been four times here and I always eat outside and have always been happy. You will be to! read more

Hopkins Eatery - Turkey on rye. Yummy. - Sandwiches Near Me - Tallahassee, Florida

Really good sandwiches on fresh bread. We stopped here for a quick dinner on a Monday night. It was just after 7 and we had the place all to ourselves. (Which made me nervous) But our Chicken Salad Melt and Turkey Wrap was great and Service was good too. The menu is full of delicious sounding sandwiches. It's almost overwhelming and makes ordering a bit stressful as you're standing at the counter trying to order and not hold anyone up. The desserts on the counter looked amazing but we passed because were trying to cut out the sugar. My only recommendation would be to put more turkey in the wrap - it just was a little slim. Overall nice, clean place to eat! read more

Hopkins Eatery is one of the only Mom & Pop restaurants that not only has lasted in Tallahassee for over 25 years but has grown to service more locations around town. Highly recommended!!! read more

I always get the chicken cashew salad salad at Hopkins. Well today I got the tuna and tabouli salad and boy was I impressed. There is nothing o have ahead at Hopkins that wasn't delicious. read more

Gave this place a shot as I've heard good things, but the bread kills the sandwich. Doesn't taste fresh. It's also somewhat stiff.

Excellent spot for sandwiches. The meatloaf sandwich is to die for. I've been a few times and haven't tried anything else yet. It all looks amazing I just can't pull myself away from the meatloaf. I will definitely have to visit again and try some of the other items. They also have probably the best sweet tea in town. read more

The best sandwich on the east side! Although I work downtown, I occasionally am out by Capital Circle for lunch. Which usually means a visit to Hopkins Eatery. The interior is nothing fancy, just tables and a few hanging plants. But the sandwiches are great! Simple ingredients and classic combinations make for a go-to lunch time spot for any workers in the area. There is a new special highlighted every day or you can stick to an old favorite. Hopkins has definitely made itself a staple of the lunch scene in Tallahassee! read more

When you want an interesting sandwich or salad, Hopkins eatery is the place to come! They have hot sandwiches and cold sandwiches and all of them are wonderful my companion had a chicken salad sandwich that he loved, and I had the garden vegetable sandwich, served hot. I meant to take pictures, but I was hungry and it was yummy and I ate it before I took a picture. read more

Have always enjoyed Hopkins and their sandwich options. Good service and plenty of food options to choose from. I had their Cuban Sandwich and it was excellent. It was as good as any authentic Cuban sandwich I have ever had. They have a good variety of sandwich options and even offer gluten free bread for those so inclined. read more

Chicken tetrazzini salad is amazing!! Love the sandwiches and the staff is always on point.

Got the Blackbird. One of the most interesting sandwiches I've ever had! Sunflower seeds gave it a nice, healthy crunch. Came loaded with veggies. There wasn't much meat on it, but honestly the amount of flavor from everything else made that inconsequential, and probably preferable. I was starving but couldn't even finish it. Very filling, satisfying, and guilt-free. read more

This is the first time I have ordered here. The diversity of the recipes and wonderful combinations with wonderful flavored r. This is about to be my favorite go to food. Please try them it's wonderful. Love love love. read more

One of my favorite sandwich places in town! You've got to try the Linda's special! So delicious!

Had the GUAC, and it was amazing. Nothing can describe the flavor of the sandwich except the fact of me telling you try for yourself! It will be well worth it. Perfect I say break for lunch read more

What a great lunch spot! Great sweet tea (people were buying it by the pitcher while I was there, TOTALLY justified) I had the Cuban on gluten free bread and husband had the Italian. We will absolutely be back! We called it in before we got there and they had it all ready. read more

I don't often give out 5 stars, but this place deserves it. I had the meatloaf sandwich and my wife had the veggie sandwich. Both were mouth-watering savory and fresh with a subtle dressing that added a nice flavor. The carrot cake was perfect - dense with carrots, walnuts, raisins, and the ideal frosting, thick but not too sweet. Prices are very reasonable. Dividing the room in half makes the large space cozy, with hanging plants and artwork on the wall. read more

Hopkins Eatery - Half the restaurant. - Sandwiches Near Me - Tallahassee, Florida

Those bad reviews are crazy. Hopkins is amazing but their food is creative and different. It's not white bread American run of the mill food, it's interesting local food. We come here every time I come home to visit my family. The chunky chicken melt is where it's at. We have several other favorites as well.....the house special, vegetarian primo, the spin. The Parmesan dressing is stupid good. This restaurant in no way shape or form compares to Jason's Deli (where I am also a frequent customer). Hopkins has a local following for a reason. read more

Great spot for lunch during the work week. Got the daily special and had my food in about 10 minutes. Everything tasted very fresh

I came in for lunch today and ordered the blackbird sammy and just let me say "wowza someone call animal control cause this birds wild!" Roasted turkey, bell peppers, onions floating on a river of cream cheese with sesame seeds. Served hot and ready for a gobble! Grab you paddle and lets canoe thru this sandwich. Served hot just how daddy likes it! read more

What a delicious lunch! We were in Tallahassee for a few days and were looking for a good, not-a-chain sandwich and found Hopkins. I had the veggie sandwich and it was loaded with fresh vegetables and a variety of cheeses on delicious bread. I also had a cup of their corn chowder (the soup of the day) which was some of the best I've ever had - so fresh and savory. Their iced tea was perfect and so was the homemade dessert bar I bought for later. They have three locations, but we chose this one because it was on our way back from a day trip to St. Mark's Lighthouse and near our hotel. A must if you're in the mood for a good, fresh sandwich! read more

4.5 stars Gluten free bread was maybe the best I've ever had. Well balanced sandwich, everything tasted fresh. Wish they would use real slices of avocado, kinda seemed like the guac was out of a tube, didn't have much flavor. Sandwich was really good though. read more

I've eaten at lots of sandwich shops all over the country. I am probably somewhat of a sandwich expert. Not really but I do like sandwiches. Hopkins has great sandwiches. I generally get the House Special which has turkey, ham, roast beef, bacon, cheddar, veggies and condiments on a sub roll. It's stacked pretty high and has good quality ingredients. The Italian is also delicious. I grab lunch here whenever I'm nearby because it's a great local spot for lunch. I suggest that you come here if you like sandwiches. You'll be happy. read more

I've been to Hopkins twice - once at another location and most recently at this one. I really am confused as to why people like it so much! The first time I went I got a greek salad and felt it was something I could've made better at home (I'm not a good cook lol). In general, the salad selection is really lacking. There are a bunch of salads, but none of them sound good to me. This time I went with my bf and I got the special - guac sandwich and veggie soup and my bf got the Cuban sandwich. First off, the sandwich - the bread is pretty good. But I forgot that around here everyone just uses "guac" out of a tube. As a CA native, this is disgusting. Maybe others don't mind idk. The soup was essentially inedible, both of us tried it and just threw it away. My bf's sandwich was not good either. I'm not sure what it was - I think their mustard is some weird flavor and super strong. It tasted like poison to me LOL. He ate most of it, but did not enjoy. It is also pretty pricey and the service wasn't too great either. Def not going back. Really regretted not going to Jason's Deli - same price range and the food is 19489284x better!! read more

Mediocre at very best! Think Subway... subs are over dressed and light on the meat and cheese. Very disappointed and would not return.

Hopkins is just OK. They put some creativity into their food which is nice but the reality is that it's mediocre.

Pretty good samm'iches, Cheap too, but the service is shameful. Server girls are flat and unfriendly; depressed or hung over maybe, kind of growled at me and threw my food on the counter, no thank you or even eye contact. Yikes! I kind of ducked and made my way for the door quickly before they could throw anything else. . . In their defense or at least explanation, thats somewhat to be expected of the nearby florida state university on the whole (not exactly a hub of teaching people and practical skills, you go there to play football, cheerlead, get drunk, and spend your adult life wishing you could do it over again). . . Food makes up for it a bit . . . If your broke and looking to eat quick and better than McDonald's, this is a reasonable place to go. If your looking for a date night or family day out, probably want a more customer friendly atmosphere. I'll be back when I need a quick samm'ich, no further expectations. read more
