I had the cheese burger and fries. A pretty common dish, but they did it well. The burger was seasoned nicely and cooked well. The fries were fresh cut. The service was a bit spotty. I felt like my server didn't have much experience. The entrance seemed odd. The place is in the basement. As you approach the building it does not give a restaurant vibe. But just follow the signs. Once inside it was a very nice casual upscale eatery.

Popped in @ 12:15 for lunch outside. Waitress was super sweet but service was lacking. We ordered fried green tomatoes which was the best thing we ordered. We also ordered prime rib, grilled chicken sandwich, mushroom soup & collard greens. Food arrived without collard greens. We told the delivery guy. He said he would get them. 10 min later no collard greens & our server stopped by & we asked her to take them off the bill. Again the fried tomatoes were great. Prime rib sandwich was good but served on a hamburger bun which was odd. Chicken sandwich came on toasted bread. The chicken sandwich & soup were just okay.

Was recommended this restaurant from a buddy of mine. There's always some lil hidden gems of amazing eat spots in Tallahassee, FGF didn't disappoint, started out with the ceaser salad, and my wife had the filet mignon that was cooked to perfection, and really didn't need a knife to cut thru it, it was literally that tender! I had the caramelized salmon with asparagus and mashed potatoes, with the mustard sauce, just a overall sneaky good meal and presentation. The experience was definitely worth the price, again it's another one of those hidden gems of our great city of Tallahassee... Oh and last but not least the Desert Flower and Blood Orange Margarita, was a lil small explosion of taste pallet goodness, on top of a nice thick slice of carrot cake🍰😋🍸

Our server was incredibly rude. I am not one to complain about service normally as I have worked in the restaurant industry for over 15 years and sympathize with servers/the kitchen etc, but I was honestly shocked. I came for lunch on my birthday and although the food was delicious, and other interactions with staff were good I am hesitant to return any time soon.

Wonderful little spot in Tallahassee. The grouper sandwich was fantastic. Husband had carrot cake, which he said was amazing. I had the marble cake. So good, but could only eat a little bit and saved the rest for later.

We’ve never had an over the top amazing experience here but have always come for convenience. Tonight, we came for a late dinner and asked to sit outside. After 15 minutes of waiting without a waiter, one of us went inside to order drinks and go ahead to put a food order in because we knew we wouldn’t receive service for food even after ordering drinks. After a QUICK 15 minutes our food was placed on top of the inside bar in to go bags. We decided to stay and eat and were truly appalled by what was in our boxes! 2 glasses of wine, 4 small shrimp, 1 crabcake and $72 later we ordered Riccardo’s to go…

There were three of us and we all had a different entree. Everything we ordered was delicious! Food was fresh and tasty. We will for sure go back next time we’re in town visiting. I also recommend their desserts, you won’t be disappointed!!

What a Tallahassee classic! I was looking for a new place with nice food and outdoor seating and remembered this. A beautiful place to have a perfect meal.

We love FGF! We love the changing menu but we are always impressed by the dessert! Great for date night or celebrating a loved one.

Pretty frustrating when you book a dinner 8-10 weeks in advance, drive through crap weather, drive in circles for a place to park, then show up and the restaurant is closed.... I even confirmed my reservation by text. Not one phone call, vm, or text to let us know. Super disappointing. Was really looking forward to it. PSA everyone. They are closed on Tuesdays. The handwritten sign on the door says so.

The food was salty. I had a party of four and all of our dishes were over salted. The basement environment with all concrete walls was not inviting.

I went for a birthday dinner and was disappointed. I ordered the fried green tomatoes, which were overcooked and heavily breaded and a field Madison salad that was just spring mix with a very light sprinkle of goat cheese. I did enjoy the grouper cheeks appetizer, though the grits they came with were cold. Others at the table had chicken that was so dark it looked burnt and servings of wine that was barely an ounce. That they would present such poorly prepared food is shocking. Won't go back again.

Absolutely wonderful service. Great job Jacob. My wife is raving about the chicken and waffles... even did a happy dance (while eating). The ambience was welcoming as usual. We heard that Henry is the person that prepared the chicken and waffles. The chicken was fried perfectly. Overall five stars with special kudos for the kitchen.!

Food is always hot. Chicken fingers were a little over cooked. Waitress seemed preoccupied and not attentive even though restaurant was not full and near closing for lunch. May have been short staffed which you hear at most restaurants now. Not crowed for lunch.

This food is great. I enjoyed the friendly service. The simple yet exquisite menu and ample dessert options. I truly enjoyed this establishment. I love their Salmon dish. It's always cooked to perfection!!

Locally owned Tallahassee dining experience with a varied menu that will keep you coming back for more. Yes their menu does change daily with many favorite dishes repeating now and then. I can only say the name that was chosen for this restaurant is apropos. This restaurant helped me out with their banquet room for a rehearsal dinner that went perfectly. For parties larger that two I recommend reservations on Open Table and when arriving be sure and ask for Lauren for your server as she is awesome.

Great food!!! Virginia is an excellent server. I really appreciate the special treatment I got on the calamari. Sliced thin, since they didn't offer tentacles. Everything as delicious!! The four layer cake was a little dry. Maybe it was older? Still good.

I love your banger and mash it's delicious and your dessert is amazing with great quality

I had a lunch meeting in tally and the person, who's a local, recommended this place for it. It is definitely visually deceiving from the outside, it appears to be a church style building and the restaurant itself is at the ground/basement level with two entrances. Service was really quick and overall very good. We started with the fried green tomatoes and I had the grouper sandwich. It was very good. Definitely another spot to stop by during work trips up in the state capital!

I am living in Tallahassee more than a year now, and I had brunch at Food Glorious with friends only a few days ago. It was a great experience. Why none of you recommend me this business before?? I ordered Spinach & Mushroom Omelet and drank coffee. Omelet was delicious. Highly recommend!

Service incredibly slow. Omelette was overcooked. Restaurant is not what it used to be.

Fried chicken parmigiana and blackened shrimp outstanding. Service fantastic. Ambiance excellent. If in Tallahassee get over to this place. Excellent date night.

Had a delightful recent visit here. I normally enjoy the food and the service, although sometimes it can be painfully slow. I tried the lobster bake small plate dish and it was sooo good! 10/10 recommend!

Great food, even better desserts. Freshly made and tasty, great quality ingredients. Good atmosphere and quiet environment so you can hear each other talk.

The food was good except they ran out of certain items and the restaurant didn't even acknowledge this as an issue - you have order 3 things and after each time came back with nothing. I would have thought a manager would have come over or at least offered a complimentary dessert. I was very embarrassed as I had suggested the restaurant to out of town guest. It was not a good showing of local ambience

Pastry Chef Michelle Stout - glorious, fabulous, amazing desserts still offered and meets the legacy high standards. Our take out bonanza included hummingbird cake, coconut cream pie, and marble cake. High quality desserts , real butter cream frostings that all taste homemade but much prettier! 19 desserts on the dessert menu, this was a wonderful way to end our weekend in Tally! Dining inside and out with heaters. Most Covid compliant for safe practices in the area. Much appreciated!

Booked reservation for dinner, was seated on the edge of the patio (in the dirt), one chair partly on stone patio, unstable and rocking b/c it was 1/2 in dirt. One dinner menu for table of 4. Table was broken. Ordered LAVOSH BREAD: havarti cheese | arugula | pickled red onions - Received bread rolls and butter. Ordered seared petit filet, was served the small plate 3oz? steak instead. Server's response to incorrect steak: "I thought you wanted the small plate b/c of all the small plate orders"... unacceptable to change my order w/o my consent - not impressed with service or accommodations. Dessert was good, we had carrot cake, baklava cheese cake, flourless chocolate cake and another chocolate cake - all were happy with dessert.

We really enjoyed our meal here! We made a reservation for date night and it was a great place to go. This hit all the marks for me. The food was great, service great, and the atmosphere was nice. We got the mussels, grouper, crab cakes (clearly we were feeling seafood that night) and we got some cake for dessert. The cake was some of the best cake I've ever had. Definitely need to make sure you save room for it. We also got a couple cocktails that were pretty good. We'll definitely be coming back!

We had a delicious breakfast this morning at FGF. Our server, Alannah, was amazing. She was so friendly, gave excellent advice on food choices, and took us up to the dessert bar! I had the Cuban frittata, my son had the chicken and waffles and my husband had the chicken salad sandwich. The flavors were amazing, the waffle was worth every calorie and who can argue with endless mimosas. Great ambience, beautiful art work and clean. I'd certainly go back. Did NOT disappoint.

Wow. Tons of servers running around, not crowded, and we had to flag someone down just to get noticed. Regardless of how the food is we will never come back. This is ridiculous.

I went here to try it out after a recommendation from a friend and I was not disappointed. Juan was the best server ever! I didn't have to wait long to be seated or to receive my food. I had the blackened salmon, Caesar salad, a cocktail, and a dessert to top everything off. I definitely see myself coming back again, especially since they have a rotating menu where the items change.

I had a really great meal here for an FSU graduation dinner. They have an interesting food and cocktail menu. The gin cocktail was especially nice. Everyone in our party was happy. I had the salmon meal. Others had the swordfish. All were happy. The service was especially good on a night where there were several large parties. I would go back here anytime.

Tried it for first time in years and it's still no bettter. Interior is old and worn. We waited fifteen minutes and no one came to the table. So we left. We also left because of a limited unappealing menu. This will be our last visit. Deserves to close.

The ambiance is sad... a throwback to the 60's dinge. The pricing is confusing and no standard breakfast ordering... eggs, grits, bacon and toast all a la carte and $4.50 each! The food wasn't hot when delivered and the servers seated people right next to each other when the restaurant was empty. So many other better dining options in town, I won't return.

Great desserts, huge portions, and a great vibe from the place and its staff!! Looking forward to trying the rest pf their menu.

Have been going here for years and it's always excellent! Chef Kevin and his fellow chefs always make amazing tasting entrees and they are always unique in town with great options which change dayly. Once you're done with your delicious meal don't forget the huge list if desserts that Pastry Chef Michelle whips up. Of course I'd be amiss if I didn't mention their great drinks from the bar as well. There's a reason this place has been around over 30 years and it's because it's a wonderful Tallahassee spot that you should come and try...and come often, like I do ;)

The answer is yes, this is where you want to have dinner. This is was one of those place where everything you try tastes better and better! The atmosphere is a little underwhelming and dark but honestly I should even be complaining because the food is glorious! The service was on point, quick and the servers are honest, just ask. I can assure you you'll refer nothing you order.

Great food very tasty and also great service. Staff was great make sure you have reservations thankfully we did but I heard them say 1 hr wait. Bacon Bloody Mary was delicious a bit peppery

First timer. Perfect spot for a brunch with friends on a beautiful Saturday. Mimosas were delicious and food was ok. I had the cheeseburger without the bun as they don't have gluten free options. Fries were good with sauce but could have been a little bit more crispy. Nevertheless they were still tasty. My friends had the salad and enjoyed it. Def recommendable. Don't forget to make a reservation.

Food was great , especially dessert. Mickel was our server and she was the sweetest! I definitely will come back

This place was very difficult to find, and once I did, I found the restaurant environment displeasing. Very few main course options, and too many dessert options. After looking over the dessert menu i methodically picked chocolate cake, something which I thought would be very difficult to mess up; boy was I wrong. It tasted like 3 day old leftover Publix birthday cake that your kid might bring home after a birthday party. Food was ok, but not worth the price.

Drink service was extremely slow! Menu is very limited and the food was Meh!! Overall, not very impressed with food or service. Won't be coming back.

My first impression of the menu was that it was underwhelming. They had lots of small plates/ appetizer dishes, but a more limited entree menu. We opted for the Brie and abruzzese plate as an appetizer and the green tomato and shrimp salad and Mac and cheese for shared entrees. The appetizer was 2 thick rounds of Brie cheese with several thin slices of abruzzese salami, pickled veggies, and a spicy mustard. The dish would have been better if the pickles were not spicy; it would have provide a relief from the other spicy elements. Also, the mustard seemed out of place with the other components. The green tomato salad was okay. The shrimp was perfectly cooked, but the green tomatoes were overbreaded and overcooked. The "salad" component was an undressed pile of greens. Although there was some dressing on the plate it was in front of the green tomatoes and it wasn't practical to use to dress the lettuce. The Mac and cheese was good. I was glad we were sharing this since it is very rich. All and all I would give it 3.5 stars, I bumped it up to 4 since most of the food was well prepared.

Came here on a date a few months ago. Gonna go ahead and apologize, she sent like 2 things back and said she didn't like the 3rd dish either. She recommended y'all and played both of us like that. I was humiliated. Y'all got played by her. I'm just glad I didn't get charged for any of that shit. I never talked to her again after that. So I'm with y'all on her suckin. Also, the portions here are bogus af. Like I'm sorry about her nonsense, but y'all was playing too with what you served me up. I ordered scallops and paid a shit ton of money for like 2 of those little bitches and they were decent, but not worth the price point. Y'all gotta stop playing like that. That was a sorry ass experience and y'all lost my business with that nonsense. I know y'all probably don't give a shit, but I gotta speak up about how y'all played me, in case I can save someone else from getting played like this. When y'all done playing and wanna feed a grown man, not some starvin ass children hmu and I'll give y'all a second chance. I'm a forgiving ass mf, so I can forgive, but I ain't gonna forget how y'all played me.

Food and service was amazing! Our cocktails were great. We tried a few of the small plates and everything we had was great. We especially liked the potato and leek soup, fried quail, and the scallops. For cocktails I would highly recommend the blood orange margarita and raspberry rumble!

Food Glorious Food is wonderful at any time of day, but especially shines for an al fresco brunch or a post-dinner dessert. I've never had bad service at FGF. I like to start my brunch with a peach mimosa. The BLT is loaded with a stack of thick-sliced bacon and the Buffalo Chicken Sandwich is superb. Their avocado toast is worth your money and their fries are magical, especially when paired with a glass of bubbly. For dessert, the "perfect chocolate cake" is pretty darn perfect. If you're indecisive, check out the variety cake, which has 4 different layers. You won't go wrong on the dessert menu. Know that you are getting a decadent carefully made dessert and remember that the price is justifiable. Prioritize! They make a mean cocktail next door at their bar. Start or end there, if you can!

Haven't been here for years, but why the heck not?? This food is amazingly delicious, there is plenty of shaded outdoor seating, and prices are very reasonable considering portion size and quality.

Good is awesome we ordered fried chicken and omelette, big portion and fantastic taste.

Delicious! Had the tomato stack and the tuna. Both were amazing (and quite filling). Will definitely be back when I'm next in town.

The food is decent, don't get me wrong. This'll probably be my first and my last time coming here. My main problem is service. If i'm coming to a restaurant that's at least 3 dollars signs on Google Maps, then I expect personable service (especially if there's 7 different servers and 17 interior tables). I was first taken to my table, waited at least 20 minutes for my server to show up, and in between i was just thinking "should i just get up and leave to stop wasting time?". Once she came to get our food order, she was very helpful with my questions. As for the food, it was okay. Maybe what I got was just too heavy but the flavor profiles were good. I got the brisket and biscuit, it was a bit heavy. The sauce on top was good but it was slathered with the heavy sauce. The server recommended the fried green tomatoes eggs benedict, so maybe that would have been better. Once we got our meal, there were people seated next to us, and what pissed me off the most- they were given their drinks and had their orders taken within 5 minutes by the same server. She walked by us 5 times while I was clearly done with my meal. I am currently writing this waiting for my check. 2/5 would not recommend :-(

My boyfriend and I stopped by FGF for our last date night in Tallahassee before heading back to Texas. The waitstaff was wonderful and the food was delicious! They have an excellent variety of libations that pair perfectly with the menu. The filet mignon was to die for! (and that's coming from two Texans who eat red meat on the regular!) I'm also a huge dessert fanatic, and I've had friend's recommend coming here specifically for that. Definitely worth saving room for! If you are a dessert lover, like me, you will appreciate all of the dessert choices. Plus, they were delectable I would say FGF is perfect for a true "foodie", or if you are celebrating something special; this meal is definitely worth the investment!

I had an OK first time at Food Glorious Food. About two weeks ago I came here with a large party for a birthday dinner. While they have a nice menu selection, for the prices we were paying I expected a better experience. The birthday girl had to send back her steak and another person's fish was overcooked. My grits were pretty watery. No one at our table left with a Wow I want to come back. The two girls who worked our party were very friendly. While we never asked for a manager I would have felt better had one at least stopped by the table given that plates were sent back. I am fairly sure I won't be back for dinner. HOWEVER, extremely impressed by the desserts and would highly recommend you stop in for dessert or get some to go. I had the key lime pound cake and my friend had the bakalava cheesecake. I will definitely be back from dessert and I would like to try brunch as well since they seem to have good reviews based on brunch. I'll be back to re-review then.

I haven't been here since 2010. I was elated to know that even through the pandemic they were still open. I was speaking to a friend from college and they mentioned FGF and I was excited all over again. The name is so appropriate because the food is definitely glorious. I opted for something light but filling. A classic BLT with the potato and leak soup with lump crab was absolutely SUPERB!!!! You can't go here without having dessert. It's simply the right of passage. My favorite here was always the key lime pound cake. It definitely tastes exactly the same. The fresh whipped cream and Carmel drizzle took the familiar taste up a notch. Who would have thought that was possible???? Definitely will be going back again. Thanks for filling my tastebuds with glorious food.

Came here looking to catch a vibe, but the only thing I caught were stares and weak drinks. Being that it was a little after lunch, I'm gonna say that is why the food wasn't the best. I'll try the dinner next time. Don't let me down FGF......I'm counting on you.

This was my first time at FGF for lunch and I was very impressed with the quality of the food. The potato soup was outstanding, with a perfect consistency and flavor. The chicken and waffles were good as well, the waffle was a little dry but other than that was okay. The chocolate cake was very rich and I would've rather had another dessert but there is really only cake on their dessert menu. Overall, the service was great, food was good, and atmosphere was very welcoming.

Overall, pretty good breakfast food. It's pretty comparable to most breakfast food you can get. Price is about average. What makes FGF unique is that it has a sweets bakery at another part of the restaurant which is really neat.

we went to have lunch and since the service was so poor we left before placing an order. They had plenty of servers but apparently only a few working. We went to order dessert at the top bar and it took awhile to get that. We did speak to the manager, so we will see if there is improvemen.
