Barnaby's wasn't very good pizza wise (pizza cut into square why?) but it was a Tallahassee landmark.
Jim and Milts Closing
- Thread starter UnstoppaNole
- Start date
Wife and I hit Jim and Milts before every game, gonna miss them for sure. glade we were able to go there Saturday one final time. Note; if I lived in Tallahassee I would consider making a purchase Just to keep it alive!
Mom and Dad's was sold to a couple of long time customers and they moved the business
to a new location on Bannerman Rd. Maybe, the same could happen to J&M's.
Barnaby’s was a tough one, that was my girlfriends’ favorite place. Before they actually closed, during the pandemic when there were rumors they might, we went to get it one last time. The line was probably 80-100 folks long stringing outside the door and into the parking lot.
Sad when a place closes but still has that level of support, just not enough day to day business or theres other issues for closing up.
When I ate at Jim and Milts a few years ago it was like time had been frozen. Same vibe as when I had been a student on the early 80s.
Jim & Milt's food pricing has gone way up. I've been a regular for years but I did stop going. It was noticeably way slower.
I think a lot of the FSU student population are taking mostly remote classes for the second year in a row. The night scene, while better, is not even close to what it was on the strip, etc.
The owners of all these places are older now, and they can't get anyone to work so it's time to retire for a lot of them.

Yep, they stopped breakfast a few weeks ago. Seems like all that's left of the local places is the Palace, the 4th Quarter and the Hobbit. It's a tough time to run a local restaurant these days.
I realize it's hard finding workers these days, but I can't imagine that is why they are closing given their proximity to a giant university. Is it independently owned? Maybe they just want to sell the land and retire comfortably? Maybe they tried to sell the restaurant first but in this economy... Sad all around though.
Maybe they just wanted out. The Restaurant business was a hard life before the pandemic.
The real sad part is that you had to add the descriptor 'sweet' in front of tea...as if there's any other acceptable version
Or…society is evolving.
There’s an “Asian street food” restaurant one block west of Jim & Milts that’s thriving right now.
in fact, there are scores of restaurants within a mile of Jim & Milts that
are thriving.
Maybe the reason Jim & Milts is closing is Jim & Milts?
I'd contribute for sure. Maybe someone local can find out if possible or if ship has sailed.
Sorry but, the closing of Fat Mans BBQ was the best thing to happen to the overall health of Tallahassee since the invention of penicillin. It was awful.
With the development of the "half and half" option for people who want to cut down consumption of sugar it's very acceptable. 😉
It looked closed to me when we drove by last weekend....I was sad but relieved at the idea that my name and phone number would no longer be visible on the wall of the men's room. 🙄😳😂
Since 1968 y'all...J/k
The passage of time has dulled my memories of the food quality there. Now that I think about it, on their AYCE nights, sometimes the chicken would arrive undercooked.

My wife lived in those and we ate alot of Jim & Milts because of the discount.
Ha, sounds about right. It's only accessible from the back as with all the other bars on "the strip". If you drive back there on a weekend night you will see a mass of humanity filtering into all those bars like the good old days, Some new names (Tenn, Red Rocks, Public House) some familiar (Kens, Poor Paul's, Bullwinkle's, Yiannis). My daughter is a freshman and I was pleasantly surprised to see them all crowded as ever on parents weekend.
I had my daughter go by today to get me a t shirt…she also got two of their menus. I may frame the menu🥲
I thought they sucked to be honest. Much more upset about Cabo's closing.
It was good since it had memories but overall the food was average at best. Only other over rated place was Po Boys or better called Slow Boys for the worst service from college kids waiting tables
