A spring break trip to Thomasville, Ga. took us to Qs cafe in the downtown district. The place was…read morenice and busy at lunchtime, but they waited on us, and we were served pretty quickly. Dawn had the farmer's pride omelet and I settled on the Caesar salad with grilled chicken. Everything was great, well seasoned, and cooked nicely. The restaurant is well lighted and clean; the staff is friendly and the atmosphere is nice. Prices are good for the area. We would definitely recommend Q's Cafe!

The waitress had good suggestions based on portion sizes and what she thought the best dishes were. I got the (Not So) Little Piggy B, which is a pork sausage, egg and sausage gravy on a cat head biscuit. This was SO GOOD! And HUGE!! My BF got the Gringo omelette with home fries. He said the home fries were not messing around, they were so good. The omelette was a 3 egg omelette, and was a pretty good size. The ambiance was cute. They had some interesting decor and artwork on the walls including some handmade quilts. This place was a 10/10 for sure!

Presentation was on a bed of chopped iceberg lettuce, no side plates were offered, and we used our single paper napkin to keep our silverware off the table and wipe our mouths. No linen napkins. I did surf n turf, medium well which most kitchens struggle with. No different here, cooked well all the way through. Baked potato was genuinely cool to the touch. Collard greens were excessively seasoned with vinegar. Not good at all. The presentation was shockingly bad, one side on my plate had a rim of black pepper, the other side had a rim of butter from the shrimp, that's my best guess. Shockingly bad. My wife ordered ribeye medium rare. The outer part was well done and the inside was very rare, cook temperature way too high. Baked potato cool to the touch again. From my seat the kitchen looked chaotic and undisciplined, no quality control at the pass at all, no floor manager present anywhere to be seen. Sometimes my view was blocked by employees clocking in to work. This table should be the last to be assigned period. Non culinary folks could find easy ways to improve this place, linen napkins, side plates, hot food, precision cooking etc. The lack of oversight for the food preparation and presentation of the food killed the experience for sure, no supervision or management of the kitchen and food.

My server immediately came to the table, brought me an unsweetened tea. I was torn between shrimp n grits or the Parmesan crusted black grouper. My said both were great. I chose the grouper. My entree arrived and it didn't disappoint. A large thick piece of grouper cooked perfectly surrounded by a crispy delicious crust. The Brussels sprouts were crispy and tender with a tasty sweet glaze. The greens were also on point - lots of bacon pieces and a sweet/spicy taste. Lunch came with a large crispy hush puppy. With tip - lunch was $50. A bit pricey - I don't mind paying top dollar for a top quality meal and service. Well done Jonah's!

Not really worth the wait. Decent food. Friendly staff. But nothing super special. For Thomasville, I get it, but I live in Pensacola where there is a place like this on every corner. I had the grouper sandwich (blackened) and the fried green tomatoes for a starter. The FGTs were very good. The sandwich was average except that the ciabatta bun was exceptional. Cheese grits on the side were above average. Brussels sprouts were just like any bistro Brussels sprouts ever (man, I wish this trend would die, but I keep ordering them hoping to be surprised.) The place was PACKED (as usual) but the staff were friendly and attentive. For me, however, this is expected in any restaurant. Therefore: 3 stars for decent - if unimaginative- food and good service. Will not come back unless there is no line ... albeit an unlikely scenario.

We've heard about Empire for a while but hadn't managed to get there during the morning hours…read more We woke up this morning with a craving for a solid bagel sandwich and took the drive up to Thomasville for what is undoubtably, one of the best breakfast sandwiches we've ever eaten. The line upon arrival was at least 15 to 20 deep, but it moved so quickly. If you arrive to a wait, do not let it deter you. They hustle!!! It was just a short wait for our food to be freshly prepared. We both opted for the same sandwich with different bagel flavors. The sesame bagel was absolutely loaded with sesame seeds. There's nothing worse than a bagel that claims to be a "sesame" bagel that only has a sad smattering of seeds across one side. This bagel was absolutely loaded up. Crispy on the outside, soft and tender on the inside, loaded with a huge portion of scrambled egg , this breakfast sandwich was enough for two people to share, but we did not! I would literally drive up to Thomasville from Tallahassee again just for the sandwich. You cannot beat their price point. This breakfast would be twice as much in Tallahassee as it is at Empire. Empire has a quaint, local NY bagel shop vibe. You can order bagels for the office or just a sack to take home. The assorted smears have something for everyone, with Canoli flavor being a bonus for your sweet tooth. I'm already planning a lunch trip in the near future.

This is as close as you can get to a New York bagel experience! The owners are even from New York!…read moreService is friendly and orders are consistent. They make their own bagels fresh daily and have many delicious shmears to choose from. The 'Brunchwrap' is my absolute favorite but I always recommend checking out the specials board, you can't go wrong! The 'Billyburg' grilled cheese is my favorite lunch choice along with the pasta salad. You won't be disappointed with this sweet but spicy spin on a classic grilled cheese. We like to sit outside and watch the locals. Its a laid back kind of vibe on the bricks downtown.

Unfortunately, this second visit confirmed their food just isn't for me. I ordered the bacon, egg, and cheese bagel again, hoping for some improvement, but it was somehow worse this time. The bacon was completely undercooked, soggy and basically raw. I've posted a photo so you can see for yourself. It was unappetizing, and I couldn't eat it, just like my first try. The coffee is good, which is a small redeeming quality, but mine was barely room temperature. For a place known for drinks, I'd expect better consistency. If you're just stopping by for coffee, you might be okay (as long as it's fresh and hot). But when it comes to the food? I'm officially done trying.

The store is under an interior redesign as of early April 2025, but don't let that deter you. The donuts and pastries are as good as they have ever been. Staff are polite, friendly and personable. They go out of their way to help fill your order and will take their time to name every donut in the display case. My personal favorites include the apple fritter, cinnamon swirl roll, glazed twist, Chocolate glazed creme filled, the peach pie and the chocolate chip cookie sandwich. If you're in a hurry, don't forget to request an order of glazed donut holes! You can tell they're made fresh daily. They taste so crisp and melt in your mouth. I do recommend going on the early side. I tend to visit on Saturdays and you can tell they've been busy because the case has few options if you go after 10:30 am. Arrive early for the best selection.
