4. Bada Bean.

The Bada Bean is probably, hands down, my favorite place for Eggs Benedict. While my boyfriend always orders the Crab Cake Benedict, I typically opt for the Steak and Onion Benedict. What’s really awesome though, is that Bada Bean has actually been doing some scrumptious family meals that you can order and pick up! From keto bacon-wrapped cajun spiced BBQ pork chops to chicken tetrazzini.

5. Little Masa.

If you’ve ever dined at (Big) Masa, then Little Masa is the complete opposite. Sadly, Masa is temporarily closed but Little Masa is open and happy to serve! It’s super casual, colorful, charming! One of my top places to go for sushi and some yummy Asian fusion favorites! They’ve recently launched a family menu that is only $35 and provides you with a select appetizer, three select meals, and one side! Here are some of my favorite daily specials:

• Two-Roll Tuesday: Two select rolls for $12
• Wok-It Wednesday: Free miso soup/salad or egg roll with purchase of Wok Your Way.
• Friday: Free side with an entree!

6. Sweet Pea Cafe.

If you’re on a vegan diet or enjoy vegan foods, I highly suggest you check out their menu. If anything, I suggest checking our their menu just for a good laugh – they have awesome names for their dishes.

They do different specials every day and typically post them to their Facebook page.

7. SōDOUGH Baking Co.

Without a doubt, my absolute favorite donut place in Tallahassee. They are far from your typical donuts, these are brioche-style – so more texture, more flavor, and more deliciousness. The one donut I always order from them is their Boston Cream. They also serve breakfast and lunch, check out their menu.

8. Pho Me Vietnamese Noodle Bar.

Pho Me is one of my absolute favorite pho places simply because of the amount of options! They even offer vegan pho and a build your own soup bowl option. Better yet, they offer several other Vietnamese dishes besides pho, including other noodle soups and banh mi (a type of sandwich) so the options really are endless. I typically order the Phở Đặc Biệt, which is known as the Meat Lovers Pho, simply because that’s what I grew up eating. I don’t usually finish all the meat (I’m not a huge meat-eater), but it does add to the flavor of the broth!

9. Voodoo Dog.

I rarely crave burgers and hot dogs but, Voodoo Dog is the place to go. They have some pretty great options, and when you can, I highly suggest you eat there because you’ll love the posters and their arcade machine.

Here are some of my favorite orders:

• The Barth: Angus burger topped with a fried egg, bacon, cheddar and American cheese.
• The Chili Dog: Regular dog topped with homemade chili, mustard and onions.
• The Jefferson: Bacon-wrapped dog topped with housemade mac ‘n’ cheese.

10. Rankin Tacos.

To those of you who aren’t aware, Rankin Tacos actually used to be a food truck! Not too long ago, they opened a storefront, which is the one I visited. My boss ordered $70 worth of tacos and we all ate to our heart’s content!

Here are some of favorites (some of the tacos have choice options for protein/toppings, so these just have the ones I picked):

• The Tac-Wondo: Southern Fried Chicken, Asian Fusion cabbage slaw, tomatoes, onions, cilantro, and chow mein noodles.
• The Rad-Neck: Double beef, PepperJack, Rankin Dust Tots, homemade salsa, and diced jalapenos.
• The B Widget: Southern Fridge Chicken, “Buff-BQ” cabbage slaw, spicy pickles, bleu cheese, and buffalo sauce.
