Backwoods Crossing - Tallahassee (FL)

5 /5 Kristi Buczek: We found this spot when driving through Tallahassee and so glad we did. Next drive though we will stop by again for sure. The outside is a bit rustic and might seem a little confusing when first pulling up to the gravel parking and some open gardening. However when you get inside it is very garden/farm comfy. The decode is clean and welcoming the dining room is lovely. The staff are super friendly, efficient, and quick to respond. We ordered the crayfish bites app, kids chicken tenders, truffle & tuna sandwich and the crab cake stack. All were absolutely delightful! The chicken was cooked well and was wonderfully crispy. The crab bisque is very light and refreshing for a bisque. The tuna sandwich was quite large and very filling. The crab cakes did not come with a traditional salad but the meal was very filling and flavorful. We really enjoyed our lunch.

5 /5 Mary J: I only had the deviled egg on a bed of collards appetizer. The collards were delicious. The eggs were okay. They could have used some mayo or relish maybe to flavor them up. The waitress was friendly, helpful and attentive. Ill try to go back some day to try more of their fresh, homegrown veggies.

5 /5 Kristie Ang: Backwoods Crossing is truly next-level farm-to-table dining. Not only do they source local fruits, vegetables, meats, seafood, and wine from local producers, they also grow much of it themselves and that commitment to sustainability and quality is evident in every detail of the experience. During the day, guests can wander through the beautiful gardens, visit the chicken and turkey pens, or relax on the front porch and enjoy a meal. Inside, the vibe is warm, relaxed, and effortlessly charming, with a rustic, farm-inspired aesthetic that feels both welcoming and intentional. It’s the kind of place where you instantly feel connected to the land and the people behind the food. One of the things we love most is that the menu changes with the seasons, reflecting what’s fresh and available on the farm. Every dish felt thoughtfully crafted and incredibly fresh. Every bite was delicious, flavorful, and beautifully balanced. You can truly taste the quality of the ingredients and the care that goes into each dish. From start to finish, everything exceeded our expectations. Backwoods Crossing is a must- visit for anyone who appreciates outstanding food, sustainability, and a beautiful, authentic setting.

5 /5 Sydney Savino: This place is so beyond delicious. We came for lunch and I had the caprese panini with Brie and added bacon. That was on another level of oh so good. I upgraded to the cheese grits for my side and they were the best grits Ive ever had! I grew up on grits, so I have had my fair share. They were so creamy and perfectly cooked. My husband had the lamb chops which he really enjoyed. We both decided to have dessert. I had the chocolate tiramisu which was good, but was very rich. My husband had the bread pudding... It wasnt his favorite, but he enjoyed it. Maybe not the spot for dessert but the food here is fresh and fabulous. Its located on a mini farm and garden and they let you walk the property. That was a pleasant experience in itself. I highly recommend this place. I cant imagine you being disappointed. It is on the higher priced side, but youre paying for quality and the taste proves it.
