This was my first time going to Jeri's and I'll say that I wasn't disappointed. We went for brunch and although a lot of the options on the menu wasn't typical brunch dishes it was an interesting mix, mostly sandwiches and soups.

Our server was spectacular, she was super friendly and able to explain everything on the menu. I didn't feel secluded since she was able to assist with all of our needs even though the restaurant was busy.

The soup was delicious and my girlfriend loved the sampler. However my minor feedback is that the sandwiches seemed as if it was over cooked

Great brunch/lunch place in Tallahassee! I had the frittata sampler (basically a breakfast charcuterie board) and Every single thing on my plate was yummy and fresh. Also, I am usually not a fan of grits but these grits with apple butter were amazing. I heard good things from the "tab" sandwich as well.

The outdoor area is really cute and the drinks are also affordable. The only thing is parking can be difficult during peak times. Definitely come try it out!

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.

We found Jeri’s Midtown Cafe on our Christmas shopping trip to Tallahassee from South Georgia. One of the best lunches and cutest places I’ve been. The Cuban sandwich and grits were amazing and the mimosas were on point. Staff was fast and friendly! Great spot! We will be back!

Very tasty menu options! A tad pricey for my usual taste, but their customer service is always spot on. My husband and I actually had our wedding reception here (last minute) after hurricane Michael in 2018, back when it was Paisley Cafe. Still one of the same owners I believe, and they've kept the good vibes! Love the pretty patio area.

Okay, after being a bit peeved that "Jeri's served the same as the original," after going back several times--what works, WORKS.

I am a consistent lunch orderer of the "Tab" extra apple butter and a lobster bisque, maybe even an added bowl if I am feeling greedy--the bisque is just delish!

Ugh, don't get me started on the smoked sausage and collards--I won't steer you wrong, promise.

Waited 30 minutes for a table on a Sunday afternoon- well worth the wait!

We were seated right by the kitchen, which was poppin'! You start off with complimentary pimento cheese and crackers. So good.

I ordered a honey lavender iced latte with oatmilk, so good, regretting not ordering one to go. The coffee was so pure and the honey lavender was delicious.

Next up we got so much food and everything was delicious, but the two stand outs were the french toast and the grits. I'm getting hungry just thinking about them. The French toast was just *chef's kiss* and the grits were

It was our first time eating at Jeri's but it will not be our last!!  We were greeted and seated quickly, and our order was taken shortly after.  The food arrived quickly and was fresh and delicious.  I ordered a Jill Bird, which was chicken salad on a croissant with blackberry patch muscadine preserves and it was so delicious!  My husband got the Italian sandwich and we traded halfway through; it was really yummy too!

The wait staff was friendly and helpful, no grumpy faces anywhere.  The owner runs a professional ship and the whole crew seems like they enjoy their jobs. 

Just a note

Three of us went there today for brunch. It was.mine and my husband's first time. We sat outside on the small patio. We loved the decor and atmosphere of the place. I got the Italian sammie with side salad. Out of this world delicious. Can't believe it took us two years to get to this place. We will definitely be back soon.

My mother and I went there and it was a wonderful experience. As others have mentioned, the staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. We had the complimentary pimento cheese and crackers, which was probably the best pimento cheese I've had. I had sangria and it was the perfect blend of sweet and fruity. My mother ordered the pimento cheese sandwich with bacon and absolutely loved it, saying how perfect the bread was. Her side of lobster bisque was also a high point. For myself, I ordered a bowl of the lobster bisque and one of the specials of the day. It was a tender beef brisket with cornbread

Wow what a great lunch experience. I had high expectations when I saw the crowd and it definitely was worth the wait. Our server brought the freebie house pimento cheese- who doesn't love free and yummy! The winner for me was chicken salad croissant- the jam on it was so amazing I had to know where it was from! So owner Jeri kindly let me interrupt her super busy day to tell me exactly where it can be bought. Everyone was so nice even though they never slowed down.

Every time I'm in Tallahassee I always try to stop in at Jerry's. They have a fantastic brunch and lunch. There is a nice patio with a great ambience and inside is nice as well in case you can't take the heat. I had the Gouda grits and apple butter appetizer which was 10 out of 10 and shrimp and grits.Everything was great can't wait to come back

Service was great, the food was great, but the portions were very small for the price. Even expected a bit more from the pimento cheese appetizer. Had the mimosas, which were great.

Every time I go to Jeri's I am met with excellent service, food, and a great environment. Jeri's is one of my favorite brunch places in Tallahassee. The food satisfies every time. The Shrimp and Grits are one of my favorite items on the menu, the sauce is a perfect mixture with the grits, and the shrimp are perfectly seasoned leaving your taste buds satisfied. Overall, it is always a great experience and the food is perfect every time.
