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

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.
