Dining in Parkway
BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse
Right on Apalachee Parkway, BJ's offers daily specials and deals on their already affordable family steak house menu. You can also buy a selection of BJ's own microbrew offerings to go, like the Hopstorm IPA, Pumpkin Ale, Harvest Hefeweizen, or the Piranha Pale Ale.
Pappas Diner
Travel a few blocks further down Apalachee to find this tiny, hidden family diner that is definitely worth a visit. Cheap and plentiful, delicious, yet sadly full of calories, the generous breakfast specials at Pappas will keep you going all day long.
Uncle Maddio's Pizza
If you're craving carbs, this is your place. Indulge in classic pizzeria morsels like fiery wings, enormous calzones, and giant salads, or go on an adventure with one of their Chef Created pies, like the Mushroom Truffle, Alfredo Artichoke, or saucy Buffalo Chicken.
El Patron Mexican Grill & Cantina
Sometimes you just need to chill and relax with some excellent Mexican food and a couple of margaritas. El Patron uses only the freshest local ingredients to prepare their authentic yet affordable cuisine. Treat yourself to a fishbowl-sized cocktail and a gigantic Burrito California.
Lucilla
This upscale bistro is ideal for an intimate date night or celebration. The innovative menu features tapas like fried oysters and seafood vol-au-vent and a selection of decadent surf and turf entrees. Lucilla also does an exclusive Sunday brunch at select times during the year.
Crafty Crab
Fresh seafood is one of the best parts of living in Tally, and the Crafty Crab has it all. Scarf down a spicy crab boil, raw oysters, fried everything, or steamed scallops dripping with butter and garlic.
