Menu description: panko-fried avocado, crispy bacon, heirloom tomatoes, arcadian lettuce, roasted red pepper and garlic crema on toasted sourdough. It was toasted white bread, chopped romaine, plain avocado slices, regular tomatoes, crispy bacon, and the crema. If I wanted a basic BLT, I'd have ordered it. And probably paid less. Im not a picky person but one should be able to expect to get a product as advertised. Waitress was fantastic - I explained I know it's not her, but I was super disappointed. I said I'd still eat it but she said they'd comp it and offer me something else. The New Orleans Pasta was delicious. Yum! Rated 3 instead of 2 because of the waitress and service

There are some really tasty options here and service was good. We even got used to the frequent thud of bowling balls being dropped on the lanes to where we hardly noticed the sound. The charcuterie board for 2 was generous for $16 and was enjoyed throughout the meal. The Sully Sullenberger burger was tasty and the fries that came with were outstanding. I wouldn't come here again without getting those fries. They didn't need any ketchup. It's going to be noisy because this is a bowling alley/arcade after all. There is that thump of bowling balls hitting the lanes as well as plenty of kids. If you come for the food you can seek out the dining area back behind the bar to minimize the noise.

They also offer a 5% discount if you pay in cash, which is a nice bonus. I got "The Hummer," which has turkey, feta, black olives, tomato, onion, and lettuce on rye-pumpernickel with mayonnaise and house dressing. It was so good. The bread was SUPER YUMMY and looked beautiful too (if you care about aesthetics). All the flavors blended together really well without anything overpowering, and it had this refreshing quality to it that made it stand out. I would definitely order it again. My partner got "The Sauté," which is turkey with Parmesan, Cheddar, Swiss, and a mix of sautéed onions, peppers, and mushrooms on a warm poppy seed roll, plus lettuce, tomato, mayonnaise, and house dressing. The roll was good and it was very flavorful but is was the combination of the veggies, turkey, and melted cheeses gave it a lot of depth. Everything tasted fresh. I got a combo with Mrs. Vickie's salt and vinegar chips, which is always a good sign. And the sweet tea--wow. It wasn't overly sweet, but what really stood out was the flavor. You could actually taste the tea, with slightly minty, earthy notes that made it feel really well done. That's rare. Overall, for what this place is, it deserves all stars. The staff was kind and helpful, the food came out quickly, and everything we had was genuinely good. P.S. There is no photos because I forgot due to it being so da** good!

After moving back to Tallahassee, one of our first lunches was Hopkin's Eatery…read more I ordered a Cobb salad so large, we split it and still had leftovers. Whether you are craving a fresh salad, a savory sandwich, or s comforting bowl of soup, Hopkins has what you want and at a great price, and you can be sure it will be served with outstanding service and conversation. We dined at the Market Street location which is quaint and convenient to all of your NE Tallahassee shopping. It's truly a landmark in Tallahassee. Their fresh brewed tea is the perfect top off to your meal, and don't forget to order a slice of cake too.

We were on the patio and our server was all over the place due to the table next to us being rude and picky to him. Delicious food though! My first time here even though I lived in Tallahassee for 4 years. The cornbread that was with the burnt ends... the best cornbread I've had in my life. Incredible. The barrington (ribs with corn) was delicious as well. Overall great food, okay atmosphere, okay service.

We shared an 850 salad to accompany original eggs benedict and the shrimp lo boy boil alongside of a perfectly seasoned Bloody Mary.

My go-to every time is the chicken piccata: perfectly cooked, bright, and full of flavor. It never disappoints. Don't sleep on their pizza either. It's seriously good and easily holds its own next to the classic Italian dishes. Add in a beautiful atmosphere that feels both inviting and polished, and you've got a spot that works for date night, family dinners, or just treating yourself. Consistently solid food, great vibes, and absolutely worth the visit.

I rarely write negative reviews. In fact, I almost never do unless the issue is significant enough…read morethat it feels like a disservice to stay silent. I'm a longtime customer of Z Bardhi's in Tallahassee -- I've dined there 6-7 times, and I once hosted a group of 10 there. I genuinely believe in supporting local restaurants, especially after sticking with them through the challenges of the last several years. That's why this experience hurts to write about. I placed a to-go order recently, and what I received was shockingly poor. Had I been eating in the restaurant, I would have sent it back immediately. The Caprese Salad ($16) was listed as sliced tomatoes topped with buffalo mozzarella, basil, and balsamic vinaigrette over mixed greens. Instead, I received four thin tomato slices, four flat, uninspiring pieces of supermarket-style mozzarella totaling less than two inches, and one singular small piece of wilted lettuce. That's it. For sixteen dollars. The Caesar salad was equally minuscule and underwhelming. The large pizza with sausage, mushrooms, and green peppers (with the $2 per topping upcharge) was also disappointing -- most of the pie had almost no green peppers, and the sausage and mushrooms were scattered so sparsely that entire sections were bare. I understand restaurants can have off nights, but this wasn't an off night. This was a clear lack of care and portion control coming out of the kitchen. When loyal customers are consistently shorted on ingredients and charged premium prices for what feels like bare-minimum effort, it doesn't just disappoint -- it breaks trust. Z Bardhi's, I hope management sees this and takes it seriously. I want to keep supporting you, but experiences like this make it very difficult. If this level of effort continues, many of us who have been regulars will have no choice but to take our business elsewhere. We have options, and loyalty has to go both ways. Photos attached for reference.

Okay, this wasn't enjoyable. I'd never been here before (under this name), so took a friend and…read morewent - especially after seeing the great reviews. Huh. The chips were okay, salsa too, and even got the queso - standard fare. This is where good ended. My friend ordered the burrito and enchilada combo. It was swimming in fat, which I originally thought was water or some meat juice. It didn't look great and he tried to keep his chin up about it, but he finally admitted it wasn't very good. He said it was lacking flavor and that liquid was a pool of oil. I ordered the Fajitas Mixtas. I love fajitas. Not these. The flour tortillas (3) were street taco size and they had been nuked to oblivion. Fortunately (sarcasm here) I had already ordered extra when the meal came out as I could see the foil pouch was so small the meal would need more. Those extra three pulverized tortillas cost me $2.99. The steak was loaded with sinew, the chicken was cooked beyond the point of being well done, and the shrimp were okay - just very little seasoning. The side plate with the lettuce, pico, sour cream, guacamole, rice and beans was a typical portion, but the refried beans were not good. So frustrating paying over $50 for two and the meal was one where I specifically rejected the box for my leftovers. Never again. This place is not worth it at all.
