So in Tallahassee there is a burger joint on the college side of town that has been there for just over 10 years. This place looks like it was an abandoned building that someone turned into a restaurant. I probably drove by this place 50-60 times before I even realized it was a restaurant! Originally it was named "Monk's", but now due to a trademark issue it goes by "Wells Brothers Bar and Grill".
The first time I went to Monk's I knew that it would become one of my favorite restaurants in town. When it comes to food I have many loves, two of them being pizza and burgers, and the genius's over at Monk's had the great idea of combining those two food combinations to create the Italian Stallion. The Italian Stallion is not just a burger, no, but a burger and a pizza! A burger that is topped with pizza sauce, mozzarella, and pepperoni! A masterpiece! One of Tallahassee's true hidden treasures!
Monk's burger plain is not just any average burger, it is the best burger in town. But add on some pizza ingredients and it is by far, in my opinion, the best burger I have had in North Florida. And I have had many a burger in North Florida!
Monk's offers many unusual burger options, whether it be the Italian Stallion, or the Lip Smacker- The PB & J Burger, The Ad Burger- topped with a fried egg, black bean mix, and Cajun mayo, and others. Since the first time I went to Monk's to now, I only get one thing, The Italian Stallion. There is no other option for me.
If you ever find yourself in Tallahassee, Florida, and don't go to Monk's, you have missed out on a real treat!
