"Given its name, oysters naturally have a starring role at Bird’s, whether raw, steamed, or baked, but this local institution also serves one of the best burgers in Tallahassee. Other huge hits are the grouper, chicken, pulled pork sandwiches, and must-have onion rings. Bird’s is near the Florida State University campus and downtown, drawing both the Capitol and college crowds. Decorated with vintage music and movie posters, the place has a retro vibe, with a small stage reserved for karaoke, comedy, or live music. For a quieter vibe, grab a picnic table on the covered patio."
