Olean's Cafe

EVERYTHING here is good! I just can't get over the pancake breakfasts. The sausages, eggs, cheese and plain grits are my absolute favorite. If you do lunch be sure to get a slice of cake to go. You'll want to thank me later.

I don't live in Tallahassee anymore, and I crave Olean's food constantly. My favorite restaurant in the world and the best soul food anywhere in my opinion. Tallahassee is so blessed to still have Olean's, I think they've been around over 20 years? I've never had the breakfast, but lunch is what you NEED. My order is mac and cheese, greens or green beans, black eyed peas, yams, and a piece of catfish. If they still have chicken and rice on Wednesday, get that. A place that many people in Tallahassee have never been to, such a hidden gem!!!

Soul food and wholesome food at the ready. If you're in a hurry and need something that'll hold you over and put a smile on your face, go to Ms Olean's. There's a reason you won't hear anything bad.

If you want a breakfast that is like no other- Olean's! Fantastic! The fried chicken looked great but couldn't make it back for lunch but will next time in Tallahassee. Don't miss this spot!

It was awesome the food is good and the people are really nice The Obama special was real yum

Great-tasting and wholesome southern soul food served with love. It doesn't matter what they're dishing up. You will not be disappointed. I cannot imagine Tallahassee without Olean's.

Fresh and hot food with great customer service!! Very affordable as well. If you haven't tried yet whats stopping you!

Wanted to try this place for a long time and was finally able to make it there on a Saturday for breakfast; not a large eat-in area, but this was fine in that folks were getting their food to go (I think dine-in is still not an option due to COVID). In any case, the line was out the door, but not an extremely long wait. The servers were very nice. I ordered turkey sausage, cheese grits, eggs, and toast. There happened to be a piece of key lime cake in plain view, so I added that to my breakfast items for later, lol! Of note, I wasn't too impressed with the cheese grits (think cheese sauce may have been added to the grits instead of shredded cheese as I expected). In any case, it was also neat to see all the photos on the wall. This place seems to be a staple. I will plan to visit again and try the catfish; think I will get plain grits next time. :o)

This is restaurant is a local staple. Oleans has been serving the local community for decades and should be dedicated as a local landmark. Ms. Oleans and her staff are always friendly and helpful. I came in for breakfast today so I tried the fried catfish and grits. I also had eggs and toast with it. I usually get the "Jesus Passion Juice" but I decide to go with apple juice. It was really good. The fish was a little over fried but other than that I was good. I really like the consistency of the cheese grits. Just enough grits to balance out the cheese. Lol This restaurant is an integral part of this community and I would recommend it to anyone.
