Alexis Mason I am so happy we decided to take the birthday girl here. Everything from the time we walked in to the minute we left, was fantastic. Our reserved table was waiting in us - no wait. All the food we ate was tasty and the service from Emily was just the cherry on top. She was super informative & attentive which made our visit just that much better. The cajun grouper was delicious and you have to order the lobster dip!! Drinks are good too! We will definitely continue to have celebration dinners at Connors!

Darlene Hazamy A great restaurant that is within walking distance of several hotels in the downtown area. Had the best calamari ever, the staff were professional and well versed with the menu and the details in the presentation of the food was amazing! Highly recommend if in the area.

raymondbuckner1 We had a great experience, as always, with the family on this visit. Our waitress, Kacey, did an AMAZING job on what was her first night from what I understood. Our drink/appetizer orders were taken quickly and came to the table just as quick. The food was great and enjoyed by everyone. Kacey made sure everything went as smoothly as possible and we would definitely take her as our waitress any day of the week!

Sahvanna Really enjoyed my visit with my partner for lunch/dinner we shared a bowl of Creamy broccoli cheddar soup with a separate side of garlic knots which was good. I ordered the Spicy Peanut Chicken with Soba Noodles which was my first time trying this dish. I enjoyed it could be more spicy in my opinion, my partner got the BJs Kickin Chicken Sandwich with only American cheese & mayonnaise with fries. Everything was yummy. Restaurant wasn’t busy but staff were attentive. Would definitely recommend & return in the future.

E L One of the best restaurants in Tallahassee. I love the aesthetics of the place, esp. how they have wood booths that provide more privacy than most restaurant booths. It makes the experience there much more intimate. I also loved the long bar they have and the color pattern of tile on the floor. It gave the place the feel of a building that has been there for over a hundred years. Most restaurants will start off with bread on the table. At Teds, they do something more unique. They provide you with sliced cucumbers that seem to have been soaked in salt water. My wife loved them, I didnt. But apparently its a thing here. We started off with the bison nachos, which were excellent. For my entree, I had their bison brisket with kale salad. It was delicious. The service was great as well. This place can be a pain to get into if you are traveling south on Capital Circle (US-319) and trying to make a left turn. When traffic is busy, you may have to wait a very long time to make the left turn to Village Green Way. Instead, make a left from Capital Circle to Raymond Diehl Rd, then a right at Village Green Way. Using a traffic light to make that left turn can really save you during busy traffic times.

Kristi Buczek We found this spot when driving through Tallahassee and so glad we did. Next drive though we will stop by again for sure. The outside is a bit rustic and might seem a little confusing when first pulling up to the gravel parking and some open gardening. However when you get inside it is very garden/farm comfy. The decode is clean and welcoming the dining room is lovely. The staff are super friendly, efficient, and quick to respond. We ordered the crayfish bites app, kids chicken tenders, truffle & tuna sandwich and the crab cake stack. All were absolutely delightful! The chicken was cooked well and was wonderfully crispy. The crab bisque is very light and refreshing for a bisque. The tuna sandwich was quite large and very filling. The crab cakes did not come with a traditional salad but the meal was very filling and flavorful. We really enjoyed our lunch.

Victoria Kilbane-Moll We’ve been on the hunt for the best food in Tallahassee, and I’d have to say that this dinner menu was delicious! They say that The Huntsman is some of Tallahassee’s best, but after trying the menu here, I’d say it’s so much better (and for way cheaper). The food was creative and innovative - pickled watermelon paired with Brussels sprouts, sweet tea brine, and miso in the Cesar salad - it’s been a while since I’ve had something as interesting. Shout out to Mackenzie for answering all my questions and being so attentive. I can’t wait to see what’s in next season!

Christopher Peterson Diverse and creative menu—everything our family ordered was a banger. I enjoyed the Liberty Bell (burger meets Philly cheesesteak). The onions and peppers were sautéed with just the right amount of crunch still intact. The combination of meats was savory and delicious, though it could have used double the cheese. I got a side of maple walnut dressing for the sweet potatoes, and it was one of the best flavor combinations I’ve had in a while. Highly recommend it to elevate your meal. My wife started with the crab rangoon, which came out quickly as fried puffs of perfection. The accompanying jam had a little heat that perfectly complemented the sweetness. My wife raved about the monkey cristo - sweet, savory, and toasted to perfection. She had it with the strawberry jam but the blueberry is also an amazing choice. The kids devoured the caramelized apples and drank the sauce directly from the bowl. The grilled cheese was solid. The menu is filled with such a diverse lineup that if I were a local, I’d want to explore every item.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Sahvanna Myself & my partner had a great first time eating here. We had the PEPPER JACK BOUDIN for the appetizer they are delicious you get 6 of them & dipping sauce. I got the BLACKENED CHICKEN ALFREDO it was yummy but I would personally add more seasoning or flavor to the pasta. I would get it again. My partner got the CAJUNDILLAS they were delicious I will probably get those when we go back. We also go the DOUGHNUT BREAD PUDDING which was delicious as well. Overall I would highly recommend this restaurant if you’re in the area. Our server was also attentive & friendly.

Scott Dante (Dizzregard) The free snack was some crackers and some delicious topping reminiscent of pimento cheese. The crab cake appetizer was yummy, especially using the sauce they provide with it. I got grilled tilapia for dinner with cheese grits and corn and enjoyed every bit of my food. Service was slow this weekend though. But the busser did a great job assisting with enriching the experience.

britana miles Saturday was my first time here. I had a blast. Meet some new people and end on a good night. The chicken strips and fries was so good. Lets not mention the bartenders was on point. I try a white tea shoot for the first time also and it was good (its a must try). The water was even better (LOL). If family come in town they must go!!
