Fried chicken chain Bojangles closes remaining Tallahassee stores
Once again, the Southern, chicken-frying, butter-loving restaurant known for its dirty rice and Cajun pinto beans has left Florida's state capital. Both Bojangles locations, one on Park Avenue and the other on North Monroe, have been listed as "permanently closed" and removed from the company's site. The nearest location now sits 66 miles away in Valdosta, Georgia. In August, Mediterranean eatery Authentic Gyros & Grill took over the chain's West Tennessee Street location. The site had been vacant since the fast-food chain closed there around 2022. The Charlotte, North Carolina-based chain was beloved for its buttermilk biscuits perfectly paired with its crunchy, Cajun-spiced chicken and sweet tea to wash it all down. The chicken chain has over 800 restaurants across 17 states. Florida now has 14 storefronts left in operation. News of the closure circulated in the social group Tallahassee Restaurant Reviews. One person said, "I loved Bojangles on Monroe. The staff was the reason I loved going there. Treated us so nice! I’m going to miss that." Another Facebook user said, "Oh no I get breakfast at the Park location occasionally. We liked them vs. KFC and Popeyes chicken. This city can’t keep anything." Kyla A Sanford covers dining

1876 Bar and Grille temporarily closed for a refresh, exec says
1876 Bar & Grille, a gastropub-style restaurant and bar inside a hotel on Capital Circle Northeast, is temporarily closed. The restaurant is listed as "permanently closed" on Google, while its Facebook page has been inactive since June, but in an email exchange Edgewater Group marketing executive Madison Lagrou cleared things up. "Our Alluxsuites at 1876 property recently transitioned from Choice Hotels’ Ascend Hotel Collection to Choice Hotels' MainStay Suites brand. As part of this transition, we are refreshing and redesigning the restaurant menu, with plans to reopen at the start of next year," she said. In March 2025, AlluxSuites at 1876 debuted in the state capital as a new extended stay boutique hotel for the Tallahassee market. That November, the brand elevated its offerings with the addition of a restaurant that offered that neighborhood feel right on Capital Circle. In its eight months of operation, the gastropub offered a cozy, casual setting with an outdoor patio that featured high-top tables, cushioned seating by the fire pits, televisions and live music. The menu offered flexibility, providing a taste of what "Tallahassee likes and expects" in an upscale presentation. "What'll make the restaurant successful is if the public adopts it," Edgewater Group

Say Cheese! Best Charcuterie Boards in Tallahassee!
Let’s face it—almost no one feels completely confident saying “charcuterie.” You may call it a cheese board, grazing board, snack board or even a “shark-coochie” board. Whatever name you use, it’s hard to resist a table filled with artisan cheeses, cured meats, crackers, fruit and other delicious extras. Charcuterie boards feel elegant without being overly formal, making them perfect for date nights, drinks with friends or sharing before dinner. You can certainly make a charcuterie board at home, but sometimes it’s more fun to let someone else assemble it. Here are some of the best places to find charcuterie and cheese boards in Tallahassee, plus two Thomasville restaurants worth the drive. Restaurant menus change frequently, so check the current menu before making a special trip.

Gourmet frozen banana shop, Nigel's Bananas coming to Tallahassee
A very a-peeling dessert shop known for its chocolate-dipped frozen bananas is coming soon to the capital city. Nigel's Bananas is planned for 699 W. Gaines St., formerly home to Bare Waxing in CollegeTown. It will sit next door to health-focused, fast-casual restaurant Natural Kitchen. According to the company’s website, the Seaside, Florida-based shop lists Tallahassee among its newest expansion sites in the Sunshine State, alongside another planned location in Winter Park. A timeline has not been posted. The company also plans to open other locations in Texas and Nashville. They currently operate in Seaside and Watersound, Florida. Nigel's Bananas all started with a dream and took root in 2020 with a pop-up, then turned into a storefront in 2021. The company's founder, Simon Sullivan, had a dream where he was told by his late father, Nigel, that "Bananas will play a significant role in your life." The site says Sullivan didn't know what it meant, but "dove into researching bananas, their many health benefits, and he ate them almost religiously! When the idea of crafting gourmet chocolate-dipped bananas came to life, the perfect name became obvious: Nigel's — a sweet tribute to the man whose words sparked it all!"
