I am addicted to the hash brown bowl. I have had awesome service and wonderful food every time I've gone. It is now my only breakfast spot.

This place is absolutely great. My girlfriend and I come on a regular basis to have our own little place. Really great food and really great service. The restaurant's menu is very well laid out and reasonably priced as well. I'm very happy that we found this local gem. The "mancakes" are killer and service is even better. Catch us here every sunday morning, we'll be the ones who look a little too full, but will be happily chowing down our food and talking with other patrons. read more

I've never had a less-than-excellent experience at Uptown Cafe. It feels cozy, friendly, and unassuming, but there's something delicious for every palate. Great place for a weekend brunch (and there's self-serve coffee at the entrance to tide you over if there's a wait!). It's a local treasure. read more

Visiting from out of town and found this place. I couldn't have been happier with it. Coffee comes fresh and comes often, staff is pleasant, and the food was great. Must try the bacon pancakes! read more

I love this place and eat here regularly. The food is excellent and the people are extremely friendly. My breakfast of choice is the veggie grit bowl with pesto eggs. read more

I am new to the Tallahasse area but me and my girlfriend have eaten here twice and we love it. We sit outside in the patio section both times and it's a great environment. The service is great and the food is always perfect. The owner even came to our table to greet us and he gave us a complimentary Bloody Mary to try out a new recipe he was working on. I am never disappointed and am planning on being a regular here. read more

Food was great, however the silverware, and coffee cups was disgustingly dirty and dingy i.e. caked on food particles on all utensils, and hard water stains on utensils and cups. Asked for new ones same thing. They need a major upgrade, and need to invest on silverware, and coffee cups. If that was corrected this place would be 4.5 stars... read more

Love this cafe! It is laid-back, casual and quite comfortable. The food is absolutely amazing and the coffee is hot. I give it more than 5 Stars if I could. read more

FOODIES ALERT!!! Must visit!!! Too many incredible delicious cannot even describe!!! And miccosuke root cellar next door! People run do not walk to these two GREAT wonderful places!!!! read more

My boyfriend and I love Uptown Café! We live right down the street so this has become our favorite neighborhood breakfast spot. The food is great, as is the service. Oh, and they hands down have the best bacon in town! The owner always works the room to chat with the customers and to see how your meal was-very nice man. Uptown has a great vibe with delicious food! Make sure to get their garlic dill grits! read more

I visited Uptown Cafe as part of a Groupon voucher purchase and ate here with my son. My lunch was fairly good but I felt the portion was on the small side. My son ordered a meatball sub and did not like it at all. I tasted it to see what he was talking about and found I didn't care for it, either. Something about the sauce was just "off". Uptown Cafe is in kind of a strange location with limited, awkward parking. It felt kind of weird parking in the back lot and walking into the back of the restaurant past the bathrooms. I felt like I was an employee walking in there to work rather than a customer walking in there to order food and sit down to enjoy it. read more

Their Sunday brunch is really good. Great deli sandwiches for lunch too.

Haven't had any food yet but am so annoyed had to post. When we arrived there were two tables one in the sun and one in the shade. Katy, the hostess, led us to the one in the sun. It being 85 degrees we requested to go to the table in the shade. We were rudely told by Katy that she had to take care of her servers and seat us in the sun. When I questioned why she would take care of the servers over the customers she shrugged and half heartedly pulled the table half way into the shade.... Let's hope the food is good.... read more

Oh my goodness, the food here is so amazing! Great combinations and options. The cinnamon rolls are so delicious, and I'm pretty choosy when it comes to cinnamon rolls. Had the veggie grits and was very pleased. The sandwiches my friends ordered also got rave reviews. Will come again! read more

Best breakfast in town. Go for the Johnny Cash omelet, stay for Fred the owner talking about his dogs, or brewing beer. Just a laid back place to have a great breakfast with a great and creative selection of options. Bunch every day. Great lunches too, but they seem to find me here most days for breakfast, so i'll leave lunches for others to comment on. read more

My girls and I went for breakfast Labor Day weekend. We didn't have to wait long for a table outside. Food and service was great, one star off for the constant flies, but the weather was pleasant and that's just the vagaries of outdoor dining. I had the smoked salmon omelette and the cream cheese was so delish. I added avocado too. We split the banana bread French toast which has was perfect - nutty, moist, not too sweet. My youngest had bacon pancakes. Everything was great. Friendly owner. Attentive wait staff. Very busy place. Parking could be a challenge but we found a spot tight as we pulled in. Loved it!! read more

We had a fabulous lunch at this local gem. Our waiter was justly proud of the house smoked salmon and highly recommended it. I had the smoked salmon on hash browns with two over medium eggs, sautéed mushrooms and feta cheese. It was phenomenal. Finally after about 10 mediocre meals in my old university town I had a meal worth writing about. It is very casual but delicious. read more

This was a great place to have a Sunday brunch. The food was flavorful, the service was great and the portions were large. The price to value ratio is definitely in the favor of the customer. read more

Oh man this place is good. I had only ever been twice before, years ago, and that changed this past Sunday. We arrived around 9:30 and had to wait. It was raining but they had a tent set up outside and the owner (?) was giving people coffee (a nice touch). We waited the quoted 35 minutes or so and we were seated. Service was slow at first, but after drinks finally came our server apologized and we didn't wait for anything after so I assume it was just a hiccup due to a busy morning. I had the grit bowl with bacon, eggs, and the garlic dill cream cheese and it was seriously to die for. So good and filling. Also tried their awesome cinnamon roll and biscuit, both of which I'd highly recommend. My fiance got the bacon pancakes and liked them but they weren't anything super special. We both agreed that our scrambled eggs were cooked perfectly (surprisingly this doesn't always happen at restaurants or at home!). We are planning to come back (earlier though!) this weekend too. Only complaint is that parking is an absolute nightmare, but we did manage to snag a spot at a local office that was closed due to it being Sunday. read more

My daughter & I ate there after church on Sunday. The salmon is absolutely wonderful!

This place is awesome. It's our go-to for Saturday morning breakfast. You can't really go wrong with anything on the menu, but the grit bowls and blackened chicken hash are epic. read more

My absolute favorite brunch spot! The environment is so friendly, and the entire staff is very helpful. The bacon is amazing, and the smoked salmon omelet is my favorite, I always have to order it! I often find myself craving the garlic dill cream cheese because it is so good! I have never had the lunch, however my friend got The Option and she loved it! I don't think you can go wrong here. read more

In town for a FSU game. Great food. Burrito/grits/banana bread pancakes ... Great service. I'd come back again and again.

Love this place. Live in Chicago and every time I am in Tallahassee I stop for breakfast. Over medium eggs always perfect.

A Tallahassee classic. Delicious food, friendly atmosphere, tons of local charm. I've been frequenting Uptown for years and I'll never stop!

Went in on a Sunday after homecoming football game to get table for 10. Owner was super friendly and agreed to have table ready for us when we arrived an hour later. They have a large room they open on weekends for the extra demand. Food was awesome and unique. Perfect bacon and grit bowl with salmon was great. Pancake for kids was size of a frisbee and tasty. Banana bread French toast was also good. Waitress was super and attentive. Definitely where we will go next time we are in town. read more

Great local vibe with a variety of breakfast foods to choose from. Get there early on Saturday!

I have been twice. Once for sitdown service and once for an egg on english muffin as takeout. For sitdown service it took 30 min and we still had to keep asking for items we ordered and waiter kept forgetting. For the takeout of the egg sandwich it took 25 minutes and it wasnt even fresh cooked it was totally microwaved. For the coffee to go they didnt even offer a top for the coffee cup. I Wont go back and definately do not recommend it to anyone. read more

I cannot find one bad thing to say about this place. From the food to the service.. everything was beyond expectations. New favorite brunch spot! read more

Both times I've been here the hash browns were anything but brown. Raw, shredded potato isn't hash browns, y'all. The toast and eggs tasted like natural gas, which was disgusting. Service is very slow, and my table never got some of the items we ordered. read more

really great diner style food. extremely friendly staff and super cute environment! one time I was taking a friend to the emergency room at like 430 in the morning... I looked over at this restaurant and there was s live band playing and a bunch of people dancing and hanging out... apparently this happens weekly but I don't know much about it, very cool read more

I had their egg casserole which was ok, just wasn't really in the mood for it. My children however, loved their food so I would say the atmosphere was enjoyable. read more

Such a good breakfast! Great service, I came with a large group (9 of us) and they were very quick to accommodate to us. My breakfast was so good and a good sized portion for the price. It was a little far from where I would normally venture, but it was 100% worth it and I will most definitely be back! read more

Great breakfast with fresh ingredients and an innovative menu, great portion sizes for the price too! The staff are super friendly. Great place to relax and enjoy the morning! Cannot wait to go back. read more

Hands down my favorite breakfast spot in Tallahassee. Delicious food coupled with friendly service. The owner makes a point to stop by every single table, which is one of the best parts! Love this place. read more

Wow is all I can say. Terrible service- I had to ASK the waitor for menus after 10 minutes of being ignored. The owner was super rude when I told him that we had to wait. The food was terrible, the place is filthy. It was the most cathartic experience walking outside and driving away. Never again will I support this business. read more

Amazing brunch this morning. Great energy throughout...well done, Fred! And amazing beers! See you soon.

We have enjoyed lunch here twice. Friendly staff, prompt service and our food has been wonderful both times. Latest visit I had The Option hot sandwich and hubby salmon salad...both great. Downside is not much parking. Will be back. read more

great breakfast spot. friendly service , nice owner that takes the time to get to know his customers.

i shop local because i like to support my community and keep my money here but also because local owners are not usually bound by corporate rules and regulations. i recently ordered an uptown egg without meat or cheese on a biscuit. i was charged the same amount for biscuit & egg only as for the sandwich with meat & cheese plus an up-charge for the biscuit instead of an english muffin. i mentioned to the owner that if he could up-charge a biscuit he should be able to down-charge meat and cheese, and he said he would think about it. mcdonald's is more accommodating. he lost more than $4.78 of my business. read more
