Kool Beanz is Tallahassee fine-dining at its best. They appear to source ingredients locally. Everything I've had is tasty but a little on the small side. Every time I want to head to Kool Beanz, I am confronted with the long wait dilemma. Unless you have a few hours to kill, I'd call them first to see how long the... More

We went for lunch while on vacation. It was very crowded so we sat outside. We ordered the Lobster Mac and Cheese which was ok. The service was so slow that we had to ask about our food. Having a #1 rating in Tallahassee is hard to believe. It just wasn't our kind of restaurant.

My daughter took me here for Mother's Day. It was perfect for me! Tere was a bit of a wait even though we got there when they opened. We sat out front and ordered mimosas so even the wait was fine! (Only about 30 minutes). It's a lively little place and I hadn't been in a few years. They've added... More

Funky, good food, outside seating. Clearly a popular restaurant!. We went with friends and though it was very busy, our wait was not long. Would go again.

The wait for this place was too long for below average food!! The food was cold when I finally got it. Didn't even finish my food. Would not recommend this place to anyone and I don't understand how this place is number 1 in Tallahassee!!

I chose this place due to it being #1 on trip advisor and what everyone had to say about it seemed swell. Then I looked up the menu on line and it sounded right up my ally. The staff was really friendly. The food did not disappoint! We ate scallops, blackened shrimp, hummus app, and rainbow trout. Everything was delicious;... More

I enjoy places that serve superb food in a casual laid back atmosphere where the staff is around to cook good food and enjoy battering back and forth with the guests and Kool Beanz Cafe does this perfectly. We were a party of six on a Thursday night in town to attend FSU graduation and arrived about 7 to find... More

Our friends who live in Tally took us here, because it is their favorite restaurant, and we were not disappointed. There are 10-15 entrees on the menu, including meat, fish, seafood, and vegetarian options. They even have a 'gator tail appetizer. Each entree comes with 2-3 sides, and no two are alike! You can switch the sides if you prefer... More
