My daughter made mention chili was good but a lot of beans for her liking. But flavor was great! Also ordered Pastrami Ruben ( no burger patty) & onion rings with 2 dipping sauces for an up charge of $.75 cents each. Sandwich & onion rings were great. Our server was polite & attentive. Food came out in a timely manner. My only feedback would be when there is an up charge we should have been notified and asked if that is okay. I didn't mind paying for the sauces & all flats but it's customary and appropriate for the waitress/water to notify of additional charges. We will definitely be back though.

Hopdoddy Burger Bar is a good place to get a burger but be ready, it will cost an arm and a leg…read more My family went in here for dinner one evening while in Tallahassee. They run a promotion where if you sit at the bar, your meal is half-off. Unfortunately, we were 4 people with a 9-month-old so bar seating was not in the cards for us. We walked up to counter and placed our order. 3 burgers, a chicken sandwich, two small bowls of fries and two small side salads. After tip, it was $96. I've had less expensive sit-down dinners with top-notch service for that price. Our food was brought out to us not too long after we ordered. I will say the food was good. I ordered a double cheeseburger. It was comically large and nearly impossible to eat. The patties were thick and the beef was fresh and savory. I did the build-your-own. Mine had pickles, lettuce, tomato and cheese. The fries were ok. We got the parmesan truffle fries. They had the slight earthy taste of truffle and dusted with parmesan. The side salads were good. The kale was fresh and crunchy, it had a light vinaigrette on it that didn't weigh down the salad and complimented the bits of tomato and carrot. In the end, we enjoyed the meal but couldn't get past the price tag. If there is a next time, we will pop our 9-month-old in her car seat at the bar to get this food at a reasonable price.

The restaurant was spotless, and the staff at the front counter were friendly, welcoming, and very helpful. I also loved the patriotic atmosphere. The American flags and the seals representing all branches of the U.S. Armed Forces were a great touch and made the place feel unique. I ordered the double cheeseburger with pickles, grilled onions, ketchup, and mustard. I skipped the lettuce and tomato because of the recent Cyclosporiasis outbreak, which was just a personal preference. I also got an order of fries and their diet cola. Everything came out hot, just the way I like it. The burger was juicy, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. The fries, with their light breading, were crispy and just as impressive. While the meal was a little on the pricey side, the quality of the food made it worth every penny. Overall, I had a great experience and will definitely be coming back. If you're looking for a great burger in Tallahassee, Burger Barn Grill is worth checking out!

How can you tell if you are going to have a bad experience at a restaurant in the South?…read more There will be some signs I will share with you based on my recent visit to Big Randy's. Sign #1: Sweet tea brought to you is from a soda fountain and not fresh-brewed. Making fresh-brewed sweet tea does not cost much. The waitress admitted it to me. I cannot tell you how many times I have had an awful sweet tea from the tab and the the rest of the experience has gone downhill more times than stabilizing the sail. Sign #2: Buying ranch to go with your wings instead of at least being given an obligatory one. Wait...it gets worse...paying for a pre-packaged Ken's Ranch...not Ranch made in-house. Sign #3: BBQ sauce on your wings is Sweet Baby Ray's bought from the grocery store. That is what my wife received and I probably had Sweet Baby Ray's Gold on my overcooked wings. Sign #4: I haven't met many French fries I wouldn't eat but Big Randy's tested me. I couldn't eat them. They were like McDonald's fries except way too salty. My wife's fries had no salt. The only saving grace from a 1-star is at least they made my wings extra wet like I asked and the service was fine. That's how you earn a 2-star. Note: the fried pickles had more of a corn nugget batter and the floor was also very sticky.

The waitresses are also really delightful.

I tried to get another table but was told other tables were already reserved. So we decided to stop complaining to ourselves and just go with it. That was the ONLY major negative experience at Table 23. Other smaller negatives were ice water from the machine that tasted like the plastic devices it came out of. We requested tap water and it was promptly served and solved that problem. Our waiter did a fabulous job and he was always moving fast to his tables. Sometimes though it took him a while to attend to our needs but that really wasn't his fault. That waiter was A+. I think the restaurant needs another waiter to spread the workload a bit. My wife ordered a Bees Knees drink and it was delicious, almost like a dessert. I drank my usual beer. We ordered Okra and Gorgonzola chips which were quite interesting. For our entrees, my wife ordered the flounder and I ordered redfish. Both dishes were beautiful in presentation but even mores in taste. The flounder came with a sauce that had lemon in it and it was 100% delicious, as was the flounder. My redfish came sitting in the middle of a generous serving of fabulous, delicious creamy grits. After my first bite of that fish and those grits, I knew I had hit a jackpot and thanked my good fortune in ordering it. And for a dessert we choose a shared flourless chocolate brownie with vanilla ice cream. visually it was just beautiful and the richness of chocolate and flavor was absolutely out of this world. We are looking forward to our next visit to Table 23 and it will be tempting to order the same things but the menu has many wonderful choices. What a fantastic delimma.

Spare yourself and don't order the Mac and "cheese" or the broccoli and "cheese" it was a sincere waste of my money. If you're the kitchen manager and reading this, please do better.

When our food came and they asked if we needed anything else we again asked for silver ware which he then brought right out. At that point he did a pretty good job checking to see if we needed anything else. The food was great. We ordered several different menu items and I heard no complaints which is pretty much a miracle when you have a party of 10 that included 5 years to 62 years in age ranges!!

My dining companion and I arrived at 5:50 PM on a Friday evening. There was a fair amount of people in the restaurant, but we were seated right away. I knew we had just about 10 minutes to get our orders in. And we did just that. My dining companion ordered the six piece wings, which he said were meaty, crispy, and delicious. I ordered the Smashburger with fries for $8. I will say that this burger is more along the lines of a slider than a full-size hamburger. It was served with a generous size portion of french fries that were crispy on the outside. The burger was cooked to medium and had three pickles and cheese. The burger appeared to have a 1000 island type topping. It was filling and cooked perfectly. A great bargain if you can arrive early enough and get your order in. The restaurant was clean, service was swift. Our server checked on a several times, and when I requested a to go cup for the balance of my drink that was left, she brought a brand new drink in a to go cup, which was a very nice touch. The one thing that disappointed us was the server showing us the total bill on a handheld device. My dining companion wanted to check the actual receipt, but it was not available so you're better calculate in your head before they take the menus away. The total is all you see on the screen. And I know this will be an issue in the minority, but we paid with cash. The server asked us if we needed a change and we did at $40. She left the table and returned, saying they don't have change. We were able to make it work bc I had some smaller bills with me. I would return. Good service. Good food. Good bargains between 3 pm and 6 pm weekdays.
