Sweet Price Bro

Just on the corner of Florida State's campus you will find our favorite cafe lounge for all our craving's. Whether you need a pick me up in the morning on your way to class, or just want a simple lunch, The Sweet Shop can satisfy your basic needs.

The great thing about The Sweet Shop, is that it is very convenient. Even if you have just rolled out of bed, this fine little establishment will be waiting for you with open arms, for all your caffeine needs. They carry a variety of items, from coffees and teas, panini's and baked goods, you'll always find what you're looking for. The down fault to this 'sweet' little place, is the price. I mean i'm paying for a small smoothie right, I shouldn't have to cut off an arm and a leg to get it. The Sweet Shop has history to it, seeing that it was built in the 1950's, but you could probably guess that from the unupdated furniture and mold creeping from the ceiling. My meal would also taste a lot better if the middle-aged man on the piano stopped 'enlightening' my ears with a symphony on volume 20, at 8:00am. My suggestion for you guys, is to make this your one stop for drinks, but maybe skip the pre-packaged chicken sandwiches and pickles that taste like they've been sitting out for a week. Nifty!

Put a Cuban in Your Mouth

Looking for some Cuban cuisine, but can't afford to book the next illegal flight to Cuba? Tallahassee knows you well, Gordo's is just what you're saucy appetite is craving my friend.

Ah yes, Gordos. Your one stop for the best Cuban food in all of Tallahassee. Gordo's menu offers most basic Cuban dishes with an American twist to the majority of them all. The most wildly popular is of course the 'cubano', which should be self explanatory, but for all you solely-English speakers, this translates to 'cuban sandwich'. At the basic price of $6.95, it seems this is a steal for such a great sandwich, but some beg to differ. On top of the meal, you of course are going to have a side of Gordos' sauce to drown your Cuban in. Along with that, you order a drink and sides, while also tipping your (very un-eager) waitress. You won't leave this place without having spent $15.00 minimum, I can almost guarantee you that. While you enjoy this delicious, but overpriced meal, you can sit outside and take in all of the sights and sounds, including loud Pensacola Street traffic with a view of Gold's gym. If you listen very closely, you can almost hear the homeless men asking for your leftovers right before you leave! All this could be yours, just shut up and put a Cuban in your mouth.

Domo Arigato

The answer is no, you are not at a Styx concert; rather the opposite. You are on Tennessee Street in the heart of Tallahassee, and what do you see? A sign that says Mr. Robotos.

Looking for cheap Japanese hibachi? Well you have come to the correct restaurant! Mr. Roboto's has all the flavor of high end hibachi restaurants without the show or price (phew). This place has got enough yum yum sauce to drown out you and your friend's worries about finals week, five times over. Not only is this place super-duper tasty, but it is also themed around Japanese graffiti. You will walk in and see how inviting it is, a feast for the eyes and stomach is what you'll get here. Just make sure you are ready for the consequences, if you're in the mood for sushi; $5.95 for five rolls of sushi. As a broke college student, I don't think I will be delving into this delicacy any time soon. As a whole, Mr. Roboto's is the place to go if you feel like dropping an unnecessary amount of cash on mass produced Japanese food, 幸せな食事!

(Shiawasena shokuji)- Happy Eating 

Momma: May she RIP

               Yes, it has been quite the grieving process for us Tallahassee inhabitants. Just recently one of our favorite sandwich restaurants bit the dust. Momma Goldberg's was always there. She was that friend who you would call on drunken nights coming home from the strip, and had little to no money to spend. She was with us through all of our late night hour cravings as well.

Momma Goldberg's was a simple kind of place; choose what you would like on a sandwich and pay. This was a non-extravagant type of eating place, you could get in and get out with a full tummy. The atmosphere was quite creative, very college. No need for waitresses, self-service was definitely the smart way to go on their part. Momma's menu consisted of every type of sandwich you would like, as well as some specialty items such as Doritos's Nachos (Which kind of sucked but, whatever A for originality). As years go on, other restaurants will pop up in her place, but we will never forget how 'OK' the food was. Rest in Pieces. 

Monks, well, Wells Brothers..

Unless you have been sadly living under a crappy-food rock, you should be able to answer the question 'What is the best burger joint in Tallahassee?' The answer is of course the one and only Wells Brother's (formerly known as Monks). Florida State students know this place well because first of all when your parents come into town; it is the first place they take you for above average food.

Monks is the greasy, calorie filled smorgasbord that you pay back for later at the gym. It is wildly popular with the natives because they offer a wide variety of strange choices. From the egg and bean burger, to the peanut butter burger, you won't be disappointed with originality.  

The only fault you will find in this place is the atmosphere;this is not somewhere to take your sophisticated grandmother who prefers a lot of leg room along with a fork and knife. But in the end, who cares! You're eating to enjoy the food, not to notice the sweaty middle aged men scarfing down their meal 5 feet away from you. So pull up a chair (If you can find one), and come to Tallahassee's best!

Not Your Average Slice

On the corner of Tennessee and Stadium is the prize pizza joint of Tallahassee. Momo's Pizza is decent quality for the price, but it does not fail on the quantity of food. Their motto 'Slices as Big As Your Face', does not lie. I've only been living in Tallahassee for a year now, but I can assure you that I have eaten here more than a few times to say the least. The menu consists of a variety of bar Italian food, as well as a select choice of brews for the regulars. 

Momo's is a place to go when you're feeling the urge to devour a grease piece, and also cures hangovers according to yours truly. The walls of this joint are covered with personality, from old neon light signs, to photo frames of famous stars, this place definitely reeks of the 'cool-college-eats' theme. Next time you're in town make sure to stop by and grab a slice as big as your noggin'!
