Canopy Road Café

Canopy Road Cafe was a good place to eat. The food and service were acceptable. It is clearly visited by locals who may have been eating there for years. They have inside and outside dining but the entire dining area is pretty small. It was busy on the day we went but we still did not have to wait for a table. The restaurant was busy and had a steady flow of customers. Our table was a little sticky. I would go back here but cannot give it more than 3 stars.

Honest Review!
Average for Tallahassee.
Food is good but average for price range. (Definitly Better than Waffle House at same price). A bit less traditional than advertising as American Style Diner.

Not really a pratical experiece, but honestly, about average for Tallahassee,
We (2 people) ate at Cracker Barrel the week before for Breakfast for almost identical price. Breakfast was better and Service was great.

Owners are NY'er so Souther style should not be expected.
Some twist on menu, looked good. The Feta cheese on the Avocado Toast made the dish (but needed Tomatoes on side). But overall, no standard Beakfast plates offered on menu as expected with exception to Special which was best deal.
.... Special (2 eggs, toast grits) is $5. Add meat $3
Drinks are $3 but you'll need to chase waitress for refill.

Why its not a 4 Star:

...Most of menu is kinda yuppy (again normal for Tallahassee) Needed a Tradional Breakfast listing on menu (since the state they are American Style Diner).

...RAP/ Hip Hop music was playing (rather loud from kitchen). It appeared the music was for staff and not the customers since I was few younger people in there and one young lady was dancing in kitchen.

...Waitress only returned to give check. Never got my coffee refilled.

Just an FYI if you have family in town. They turned away a group of 10 saying they do not take over 8 in a party.
Also, Not very good parking at this location (why we ate at Cracker Barrel the week before-No Parking)

----
Tallahassee really needs a Southern breakfast nook style resteraunt kinda like you find in Mid Florida. I had great hopes this would be better given the reviews.
But all things considered, if you want a good breakfast in Tallahassee at this time, you'll get a more tradional one at Cracker Barrel for about the same.
If you want a Twist to your Breakfast, you may like this one.
Food was well prepared and served. Hope they get other items mentioned straightened out.

Great staff and awesome food! Its a very small but friendly restaurant that has that family ran feel. They had the BEST kids meal and my Eggs Benedict were on point!
The ONLY negative I saw was that there was only one bathroom. The good news is the line always moved quickly.

Amazing variety, creative combinations of flavours, served and prepared with pride and precision! No, I'm not the owner...lol! Seriously , you can't go wrong 👍
Avocado toast!

Perfect for a great breakfast! The menu has several vegan options. Service is very good. There is a lovely outdoor deck.
