We visited Tallahassee last week to tour FSU's campus and program for my daughter. She loved the campus and the city and we were impressed with the variety of restaurants. The Wharf Express is an interesting find. No they do not have linen tablecloths and the plates are black foam plastic. They simply have great seafood at reasonable prices. I... More

Great service, awesome food, and a Goose Island beer made for a great visit. Crab cakes were the best I have had in a long time!

My husband and I decided to celebrate a special occasion by trying out the Wharf Express. I'm so glad we did! We ordered crab cakes, a shrimp po-boy and an oyster po-boy. ALL were EXCELLENT! The best, though, was the order of crab cakes (which my husband tells me is very hard to find done right and done well). I... More

I've lived in Tallahassee for several years now and have been a repeat visitor of The Wharf restaurants for most of that time. The freshness and flavor of their dishes never disappoint - even as the restaurants have downsized to smaller establishments. The owner and staff are very hospitable and the food is truly a taste of the coast. Pick... More

Ihave been a regular patron and looooove their seafood. It is always fresh and tasty. Their price won't break the bank. It is always clean and the staff is extremely friendlly and helpful.

I wonder sometimes how a restaurant with only ~20 or so reviews can be rated in the top 20 % of restaurants in a given area...but then again Tallahassee is a relative small city and it seems a number of restaurants have only a score of reviews. Nevertheless with only a little trepedation I thought I'd give this place a... More

In and out quick. Prices are upper mid-range for the amount of food provided. But, meals are fresh, tasty and true to order.

Great seafood at a very reasonable price. Food is served on paper plates but worth the sacrifice to keep the meal prices down.

Local business has been around town for a long time on a larger scale with recent openings of the smaller express stores offer fast food take on real Florida seafood.
