Cheap Eats In Tallahassee
Funky Town

Perks of living in Tallahassee? Getting to attend one of the greatest schools in the nation, endless people to meet, and ridiculous cuisine to try. Whether you want that morning doughnut from Donut Kingdom or the late night tacos from Tacospeak, Tally has all the food you could possibly need. Not only is there endless varieties so you never have a dull meal, but most food can be found at a reasonable price!

Reporting live from my bed as I indulge in Gumby's pokey stix, here are 10 Tallahassee eats to get your money's worth:


1. Momo's Pizza

Looking for a pizza the size of your head? With their biggest pizza at 30" known as their "XLarge" you'll be able to eat for days, including your friends. Slices start at $4.75 a piece and you'll definitely be getting a bang for your buck over here.

2. Jim & Milt's

One of the very few BBQ places still left in the Tallahassee area. Serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner, you'll never run out of the taste for barbecue sauce.

3. Gumby's

Try the 'Pokey Stix' just trust me. Typically open until 3 AM, it's a perfect place to hit after a night out around town. Go ahead and stuff your face with the Gumby's deals, we've all been there.

4. Melting Pot

Typically, this could be an expensive meal, but go on a Tuesday and you'll pay about $12 for cheese and dessert. It's the best offer money can buy. Endless bread and cheesecake to go with your fondue, you'll be full before the second round.

5. Gordo's

With funny slogans and memorable signs, it's hard not to keep a special place in your heart for this spot. Whether you're looking to drink up a 'Gordo's Smash' and not remember the rest of your night or grab a tasty Cuban Sandwich, come here. Go ahead and "put a Cuban in your mouth."

6. Blaze Pizza

Is it really a college town if you don't list pizza multiple times? At this location, look forward to creating a pizza exactly how you want it. With multiple choices, you'll always find something that looks appetizing to put on your pizza!

7. El Patron

Here you'll not only receive affordable food, but a decent happy hour as well! Needing fajitas or quesadillas to snack on before a night out? El Patron will provide for under $10. Come for the food, stay for happy hour.


Of course you can't forget the incredible 'honey butter chicken biscuit' from Whataburger or the new Vale Food Company. There will never be enough time to discuss every good food joint in Tallahassee. Food etiquette, it's a real thing.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
