If a restaurant is awarded “Best Of” status once, it’s going to be pretty good. Twice, and it’s obviously one of the best in the business. So what happens if it wins it four times in a row? That’s the situation that Wells Brothers Bar and Grill, better known as Monk’s, is currently in. A now four-time winner, Monk’s has become a staple of Tallahassee and the go-to burger joint for all inhabitants and visitors
Wells Brothers bar and Grill
alike. Monk’s is run by two brothers, Matt and Adam Wells, who together have been in the restaurant business for more than 20 years. The experience
shows in the flair and creativity of their burgers that fill the menu far more diverse than your typical burger eatery. Burgers range from “The Italian Stallion,” which is
a pizza burger covered in melted mozzarella, pepperoni and marinara to “The Lip Smacker,” topped with bacon and cheddar cheese and coated with peanut butter.
Canopy Road Cafe
Best breakfast

There’s the gourmet coffee specialist The Bada Bean, the Cajun-styled Angelette’s, the Sundaybrunch-famous Andrew’s, and then there are the Sweet Potato Pancakes from Canopy Road Café. These golden-brown, fluffy cakes come close to sweet perfection and just might be the reason for Canopy
Road’s continued dominance of the Tallahassee breakfast scene. The remainder of Canopy Road’s appeal is readily picked up by its simple, homey atmosphere, its proximity to Lake Ella, the just-right pricing and of course, the rest of the breakfast menu, which features the casual usuals of American breakfast, served all day. It’s like having breakfast at home, without actually cooking it.
