Tallahassee’s Beloved Dog Et Al Shifts to a New Home
Exciting changes are afoot for Tallahassee’s cherished comfort food destination, Dog Et Al. Known for its scrumptious hot dogs and classic diner vibe, this restaurant has been a favorite gathering spot for locals for years. Recently, patrons were left puzzled after noticing that the beloved South Monroe Street location has been marked as “permanently closed” on Google Maps. But, fear not, food lovers! The enchanting eatery is merely taking a new direction – it’s relocated to Bannerman Crossing!
A New Address for Familiar Comforts
The new digs for Dog Et Al are at 3437 Bannerman Road, tucked away in the bustling Bannerman Crossing shopping center. The move to this vibrant new space reflects the restaurant’s commitment to not just serving incredible comfort food but also ensuring the safety and well-being of its valued customers and dedicated staff.
Why the Move?
Unfortunately, the decision to abandon the former location wasn’t a whimsical one. A series of unsettling incidents forced the hand of owner Adam Braun, who cited theft from the tips jar, a nearby shooting, and even a disturbing situation involving public defecation outside the restaurant as significant factors in the relocation decision. Ensuring the safety of both employees and guests was of utmost importance, and these incidents complicated that goal at the South Monroe site.
