My daughter took me here for Mother's Day. It was perfect for me! Tere was a bit of a wait even though we got there when they opened. We sat out front and ordered mimosas so even the wait was fine! (Only about 30 minutes). It's a lively little place and I hadn't been in a few years. They've added... More

Funky, good food, outside seating. Clearly a popular restaurant!. We went with friends and though it was very busy, our wait was not long. Would go again.

The wait for this place was too long for below average food!! The food was cold when I finally got it. Didn't even finish my food. Would not recommend this place to anyone and I don't understand how this place is number 1 in Tallahassee!!

I chose this place due to it being #1 on trip advisor and what everyone had to say about it seemed swell. Then I looked up the menu on line and it sounded right up my ally. The staff was really friendly. The food did not disappoint! We ate scallops, blackened shrimp, hummus app, and rainbow trout. Everything was delicious;... More

I enjoy places that serve superb food in a casual laid back atmosphere where the staff is around to cook good food and enjoy battering back and forth with the guests and Kool Beanz Cafe does this perfectly. We were a party of six on a Thursday night in town to attend FSU graduation and arrived about 7 to find... More

Our friends who live in Tally took us here, because it is their favorite restaurant, and we were not disappointed. There are 10-15 entrees on the menu, including meat, fish, seafood, and vegetarian options. They even have a 'gator tail appetizer. Each entree comes with 2-3 sides, and no two are alike! You can switch the sides if you prefer... More

Interesting menu, lots of great choices, laid back, take your time kind of place. I had the seared tuna with ginger pork fried rice. Yum Daughter had the BBQ chicken. Loved... More

I always have great food and a great experience at this wonderful local restaurant that specializes in Caribbean American style cooking. Fish is king here and there are so many lovely preparations of fish and the serving sizes are just right. Prices are very good also and their iced tea is the best.
