Jeri's Midtown Cafe

Tonight I got to eat at Jeri’s Midtown Cafe as part the Tallahassee Foodies #SecretDinner!

The “Secret Dinner” is meant to be a fun adventure. Tonight was an exceptional one! 😀

The “gloomy” weather those of us on the east side of Tallahassee received just enhanced the adventure!

GPS showed I had arrived, but I only saw the sign. Going down a one way alley led me to the entrance, a nice garden area where we were supposed to eat “weather permitting.” It didn’t!

But that only added to the enchantment! Going inside I had the kitchen to the left and their “Social Moment Starters” on the right. It consisted of many things but I became fixated on their strawberries and their pasta salad! I had chosen very well! The strawberries were just perfect! I could have had just the pasta salad for the rest of the night and been very happy!

Our first course of the evening consisted of “Jeri’s Wonder Salad!”

You know how I can tell when the salad is great? It is when I am uninterested in salad dressing!

The second course was “Collard Soup.” I could just hear a reoccurring comment about me and soup, “You are too young to like soup that much!”

The third course was “Smoked Gouda Grits & Shrimp.” I had to keep looking back at the menu to make sure I read that right. If you only ever experiment with just one dish, it has to be this! It is amazing!

The main course was “Roasted Filet & Mediterranean Fish!” The room went quiet with this! Talking wasn’t on anyone’s mind!

We finished with “Strawberry Blueberry Shortcake!” This was one of those “One is too many and a hundred not enough” type desserts!

This was my first time at Jeri’s, I treated myself for my birthday today. They have complimentary crackers and cheese and the Shrimp and Grits were so DELICIOUS! I chose the Pineapple Strawberry mimosa to drink which was also really good. My server’s name was Taylor and she was awesome and so sweet, and had me set. I was comfortable and the vibe and music is chill and friendly and I will definitely be coming back 💚💚

Beautiful place, delicious food, friendly staff, excellent service. I love everything about this place! So glad I found it. Worth every penny.

Day Date at Jeri's!

We stopped by Jeris Midtown Cafe for the first time today after being recommended many times....and I'm so happy we finally stopped in and tried Jeri's delicious little Café!

Jeri herself was there, talking with customers and helping out, which is always beautiful to see in any business. Sergio served us, and he was absolutely amazing! He was very kind, energetic, and made our experience wonderful. The food was hands down some of the BEST I've had in Tally so far! 5/5 Stars for their quality sandwiches - and they have the best grits I've ever had in my entire life, no exaggeration!

If you haven't been to Jeri's, definitely stop by and check them out. It's well worth it!

Fist time here. It's a little cozy spot to enjoy seated inside or outside. The food was delicious. Gouda grits with shrimp / French toast and a side of bacon.
