Restaurants in Monticello

“I was promptly greeted and seated, and my water came out quickly. After a quick look at the menu I decided on the Cobb Salad, sub carrots for tomatoes. Absolutely wonderful. The dressing was the perfect compliment to the fresh greens and the portions of bacon and chicken were not skimpy like other places. I could have used one more hard-boiled egg, but that's hardly a complaint when the salad was this good.”

“Our team of relief workers stopped here on our way home from Hurricane Idalia. We were tired, dirty & hungry but they welcomed us like family & fed us like kings. Great food & great folks”

“After reading the reviews, we thought we would stop and see what the buzz was about? Wow just Wow the Jalapeno Burger and Texan Burger and their homemade Fries, it was absolutely the best hands down. This is a must try for an eating experience that will have you coming back for more ✨?”

“We were exploring the countryside around Tallahassee and decided to try Tupelo's for lunch. It's a very informal place with an old Florida vibe--linoleum tiles on floor, mismatched but comfortable table and chairs. You order at the counter and within a few minutes you pick up your sandwiches in a brown paper bag--ready to eat inside or take out. My BLT on rye was the best BLT ever! Tons of bacon and fat slices of a juicy tomato with crunchy lettuce on bakery bread. (I had told my husband "white" bread, but he heard "rye," and I'd order it that way again.) Husband ordered the tuna salad which was also top quality. The tuna was chock full of goodies, and the sandwich also had farm-fresh tomatoes and lettuce plus a slice of cheese. Their prices are extremely reasonable. After lunch I bought two pastries from their case to take home. We've already sampled the cinnamon bun, and it's the best I've had since the ones made by the lunch ladies at my elementary school back in the 1950s--the ultimate compliment. Next time we're in Monticello, we'll certainly go to Tupelo's again. I'd like to try the quiche, but I may not be able to resist the BLT.”

“Great evening out. Wonderful service and ambiance as always.Fried Mozzarella, fish and chips and eggplant parm. We brought home a slice of triple chocolate cake and it was amazing.”

“We are absolutely LOVING this new business and its location! Love all the many varieties of teas,coffees, and shakes they offer! Very friendly staff and great atmosphere! Definitely recommend!”

“Went today with a friend. Got the stuffed manicotti special. It was really tasty and enjoyed the salad bar as usual. Our waitress I've had the last two times I have been there and she is a joy. Very friendly, everyone there is so very nice. Food came out piping hot and fresh. Love going here and go as often as I can. Sorry, forgot pictures. After wards, ice cream at Arctic Scoop. Beautiful day for an outing.”

“Mafia Pizza is located around other establish in a big circle. All of the businesses are a house. Its weird seeing a house on the outside and its a restaurant inside. The restaurant is spacious inside. Decent amount of parking but be careful of all the rocks. Inside they have a salad bar. The pizza was pretty good. Prices was fair and the workers were nice. I came in a large group and they were able to seat us together in a large long table. The area is in a small quaint area of northern Florida. I would visit here again!”

“For a small establishment here in Monticello it has a wide variety of products (at a great price) that are delicately prepared and served with a smile and style, i really wish you all the best and hope you are here to for many years to come.”

“We stopped here as we drove to the Stephen Forster state park. The food was excellent. My husband had Shepards Pie and gouda Mac n cheese. I had a cheeseburger, with bacon. I also ordered the Mac n cheese. Delicious! I had fries served with my burger, I world have liked them a bit more crispy, but they were well seasoned.The parking is limited, and on a busy street. It was a a little busy, or maybe they were short staffed, we waited quite a while for: drink refills, our check, and for them to take our payment.Overall, we were happy with our experience. They had a varied menu, and we would visit again.”

“The food was so good and fresh. Menu had a lot of choices, service was great, and prices were reasonable. The restaurant is very pretty and colorful. Overall enjoyed it immensely for someone just passing through. This dish was 17.99.”

“Nice to see in Monticello. Had a burger and it was okay. Not anything to write home about and very pricey . Two people, and spent $100 with only 3 drinks and two meals. They definitely need some reasonably priced specials. The service was excellent. It is nice to have a bar in Monticello.”

“I ate there again today, the hamburger steak with gravy was one of the best ones I've ever had! The cabbage was great as well, the potato aggrautin was also good. I just couldn't eat it all. I ate more than I have in several days. The only thing that would have made the hamburger steak with gravy better would've been a crisp but cooked onion! Oh, and their sweet tee is great too!”

“I'm looking forward to sharing my experience at this small but very comfortable restaurant. Although it's appearance is deceiving, one must recognize it's providing a quick meal at a reasonable price. The staff is trained for customers satisfaction. Altogether,, bravo! Job well done.”

“Good for what it is. The staff did a good job and my sandwich was tasty, and did not take them too long to make it. Subway generally gets three stars from me but the friendly and efficient staff earn another one”

“Thank you so much for the consistent great service, coffee, and baked goods! We walked in as customers and left as friends. You have brought so much joy to our hometown. ☕️Side note— the café con leche is out of this world!”

“We just moved into the area & our Realtor gave us a gift certificate for Tupelo’s! Their food is EXCELLENT & we LOVE the small town friendliness & atmosphere!!!!”

“Visited Artic Scoop for the first time today. The chocolate ice cream cone was delicious and took me back to my childhood years. The cupcakes are delicious as well.. they melt in your mouth. Customer service was delightful and pleasant. I will be visiting again!”

“My first google review ever and I’m honred to leave it for this business. If you’ve never tried her cupcakes you must. I can’t really explain the texture, but it is so moist! And I mean each flavor that I’ve tried. Best cupcakes I’ve ever had and this is coming from a cupcake connoisseur”
