50 Best American Restaurants near Grant Valkaria

“Gorgeous and relaxing. Life is easy at the Grant house. Fully furnished, clean, and perfectly set of so you don’t have to worry about a thing. We vacationed here for a week, and felt like we had arrived to a luxury abode. Between the deck, patio, pool, dock, and fire pit, we were never bored. And when it storms, the upstairs has 3 decks to sit and watch the storm pass. Well worth the hefty price we paid. I only wish I was able to bring my doggo..“

“Me and my father loved going to Smokey Bones once a month or so, til it closed it's doors a week or two ago. We were struggling to think of a decent replacement, because the biggest problem we had with most of the other barbecue places between Melbourne and Vero Beach would drown their ribs in sauce. We decided to try out Grant Station's Rib City, the literal last place we had left on the list. They had pictures on their websites of their smoker, great sign. So we made the 25 min/30 min journey. We're small town Indiana folk born and raised, and the atmosphere walking in reminded me of all the little Amish diners we had around town. I got the rack and a half of the baby backs, my dad the full rack. When it came to the table, the first thing we noticed is that they were exactly what we hoped, if they put anything more than a rub on them before smoking them you could have fooled me. Tender, meaty for a Danish rib, the perfect amount of smoked flavor and seasoning. They tasted like care was put into them, that unmistakable flavor of authenticity. No Florida dining experience is complete without a slice of key lime, so we get a couple slices. I have had a lot of different key lime pies since coming to Florida, till then best we'd come across was Bunky's. After having these, it's not even close. It's not too sweet, a good tartness, and I didn't know that key lime needed cinnamon in the crust till now. Easily one of the best barbecue restaurants on the East Coast, if not the best restaurant.“

“Met 4 others for lunch. Most had grouper sandwiches, which they said were good. I had nachos, that were okay. No nachos seasoning. Tasted like cheesewiz, not real cheese sauce. It never set up like melted cheese does. Waiter, Ben, was good and had a nice attitude like he was happy to be there. He made our visit enjoyable.“

“Hands down the best bacon I've ever had. It's amazing. They have breakfast and dinner ALL DAY. Im just sad I can't eat dinner here.

The pancakes were massive and those were amazing. The traditional mimosa was so good. Highly recommend!!!“

“Another Broken Egg Cafe 705 Palm Bar Rd NE West Melbourne, FL 32905 4.5 Stars (chain restaurant review) Having grown to a modest 91 locations since 1996, it's safe to say Another Broken Egg Cafe is here to stay. With more than half of those (54) being franchise-owned and having an annual revenue of over $2 million per location, it's also safe to say this is a good investment. That one was free. Ashley was my service pro for the meal and she was OUTSTANDING in every way a server could. The streak stands at seven. I asked Ashley for one Broken Egg Biscuit Sandwich, an order of Shrimp & Grits, some Strawberry Pound Cake French Toast (because, did you see the name of that dish?) and a half order of Beignets. As Ashley retreated to place my order, I snapped a few pics of the joint and kicked back to await my Strawb....err, order. Based on the turnaround and presentation of said order, I would hazard a guess that the kitchen staff on hand was as pro in their duties as Ashley was in hers. I mean, look at that stuff! Pausing long enough to place my napkin, I eagerly grabbed the Broken Egg Biscuit Sandwich and took a goodly sized bite. As the flavors hit my palate, my jaw paused mid-mastication to allow the deliciousness to wash over my mouth like a wave of savory succulence. West "By Gawd" Melbourne, you are some lucky sumwitches to have this in your neighborhood. The chicken tender was juicy and that sausage gravy was to die for. However, as with all things sandwich, it's all about the bread/base and as sure as there are mosquitoes in Alligator Alcatraz, this was some of the best biscuit I have ever had. It was crisp on the outside and all flaky-moist goodness on the inside. This right here is 5 Star all the way. Forcing myself to move on to the next dish, I plopped a forkful of Shrimp & Grits into maw. Dang. This was as tasty as the Biscuit Sandwich. I'm on a roll today! The flavors were outstanding. The grits were cooked to perfection; however, the sausage and shrimp were mid-grade, and I was not expecting that. This brings us to our penultimate stop on our culinary journey through the menu of Another Broken Egg Cafe: the staggeringly beautiful Strawberry Pound Cake French Toast. Look at the picture. Look at it! French toast-style pound cake topped with fresh strawberries, whipped cream and crème brûlée sugar - how could this not be fantastic? This was literally divine and is highly recommended. I had to stop myself or I wouldn't have room for even one bite of the item yet to be sampled, their Beignets. These were warm, tasty and topped with a gorgeous marmalade that I would crawl across broken eggshells for. The whole meal was eggselent and literally a sausage switch away from being 5 stars. The Big Boy says, "Just go already, but avoid the sausage for now."“

“huge shout out to who ever was on the fryers last Tuesday (24th) the fries where on point . hot ,perfect crispness and salt and the JR topped it off.“

“Every now and then the universe gives you a perfect experience and that is what happened your first visit to this brewery! Aiden and Jayden took excellent care of us… the beers were absolutely phenomenal. We sampled many and enjoyed every single one! We are a bit snobbish on craft beers and this place hit all our top marks! We ordered the brisket burger with onion rings and it was recommended to try the barbecue sauce with it by Jaden. Honestly, it was absolutely fabulous. All of their sauces are homemade, including the honey mustard in the ranch dippy’s that we got. We had the privilege to meet the brewmaster and we had to shake his hand because he has done a phenomenal job. This will be a must go to anytime we are in Melbourne and I’ve also let the family know this is a must stop for them as well! 5 stars! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️“

“Great little Cafe at Sebastian Inlet State Park. We had the Mahi sandwich and were very in happy with it. Fish was cooked perfectly - blackened. 100% would do that one over again. Service was awesome and we didn't have to wait long for our food. We ate outside on the deck because we had our pup with us. They brought him a bowl of water as well. Check out the view from the deck on the second floor!“

“Great casual place with a hometown bar feel. Had the beef on weck and as someone from western NY was pleased that they got it right! Food was great age our server who was also from WNY was so nice and friendly. Will be added to my list of regular spots. Looking forward to getting there to see some live music!“

“I can’t believe I’ve lived in Sebastian for six years and never have been to the No Name Sports Bar. This place is so much fun. The owners and bar tenders were the best. They went above and beyond to make my friend’s birthday party fun with costumes, musical instruments, darts, Jell-O shots, pool and so many laughs. Thank you Damian.“

“Every time I go to Cracker Barrel, the food is wonderful and I get treated like a member of the family.“

“had the cod fish fry..it was absolutely delicious..awsome tarter also...will definitely be having that again....“

“Whenever we’re in town, this is a must stop. They have the best drinks and their prices are really fair for what they serve. The live music is always pretty cool too. We had the hummus and crab stuffed mushrooms. So good!“

“Urban Prime has been a go-to of mine for years, and it never disappoints. Through all its changes, the food, drinks, and service have stayed top-notch. Chef Kyle’s happy hour menu is a standout—the “Not-So-Little Butter Burger” and Brussels sprouts were the perfect match for my Old Fashioned (not smoked, but still hit all the right notes). The service here is exceptional. From the hostess to Adrienne behind the bar and Iman Elder on the floor, they made me feel genuinely welcomed—a nice touch since my friend had a genuine mix-up and couldn’t make it. Beyond the dining experience, I also appreciate Urban Prime’s philanthropic spirit. I had the pleasure of working with them during Jazoo and Safari Under the Stars (‘19-‘21), benefiting the Brevard Zoo, and again for The Scott Center for Autism (‘23), their commitment to community stood out then just as much as it does now. Great food, great vibes, and even better people. Urban Prime keeps me coming back! I am posting a visit from 2019 — their wine list by Dana Cona continues to be impressive!“

“Our experience at The Mansion in Melbourne, FL was exceptional. We were seated in a beautiful private room for our party of seven, which added a special touch to the evening. The ambiance was elegant and inviting, perfect for a memorable night out. Our server, Alex, went above and beyond—friendly, attentive, and incredibly accommodating. The food was not only delicious but also served in generous portions. From start to finish, everything was top-notch. Highly recommend for both the atmosphere and outstanding service!“

“super friendly people and always a great time!“

“I picked Mo-Bay for my birthday dinner, and it didn’t disappoint. Having experienced authentic Jamaican food before, I can say this was the real deal. I ordered the curry chicken while my wife had the crusted haddock—both were delicious. The service was great, the prices fair, and the atmosphere made for a wonderful dining experience. I highly recommend Mo-Bay.“

“We have been here before. The whole family and I love it. The prices are relatively more affordable than the rest of the competition of the same type of food. We love it here and we definitely recommend it. Price is affordable, family field, and very, very relaxing and alive.“

“Awesome food and service. Our server, Savannah, was very knowledgeable of the menu and provided excellent recommendation's. Her service was outstanding. After dinner we had the pleasure of meeting and chatting with the chef. Will recommend this restaurant to friends and family and we will return.“

“Thank you for sharing your Thanksgiving Holiday yesterday at the Pub. I so enjoyed being with you and your friends, everyone with smiles and friendship. Definitely a time for sharing. Melissa, all the food was excellent and Rick’s Cheesecake was the best. I will see everyone again soon“

“I’m truly appreciative of our hometown favorite !! Genuine .. REAL good .. Sebastian Flavor !!“

“We were down in Sebastian Florida visit my brother john glaser and his wife. We went every morning there for breakfast. Service was amazing and food was very good. We enjoy everyone there . I highly recommend this place to eat. You won’t Be disappointed .“

“Mash Hoagies- Palm Bay- 3 Stars As I left MASH Hoagies in Palm Bay, full but not completely satisfied, I couldn't help but think of the late, great Rodney Dangerfield who once said, "I get no respect, I tell ya. The way my luck is running, if I was a politician, I would be honest." That is exactly how Sonny, the owner of MASH Hoagie's struck me. He is an honest, hard-working fellow, who wants nothing but to make the best product he can for his customers. Unfortunately, circumstances beyond his control prevent him from doing just that. Wanting to grasp the ever-elusive American Dream, Sonny purchased MASH Hoagies less than two months ago and is giving it the old college try. Sadly, it would appear, he is dying on the vine so to speak. Running a restaurant is a tough enough industry in which to find success, add to that buying a place with "meh" reviews to begin with and you have your work cut out for you. This eatery has everything you want in a casual dining experience: a clean, well lit, spacious dining area (including outdoor seating) and a friendly, helpful, motivated, on point staff. The only thing missing here is quality meats. I am sure that Sonny bought the place with the meat distributor already in place. Being a new owner, I don't blame him for sticking with them while he gets his feet wet in the marketplace. However, that time has long passed and it is time he moves beyond the shredded, pressed, sliced and processed meats (ala Subway and Jersey Mike's) and goes with a real meat distributor like Boar's Head or Deli Master's. I ordered "The Colonel Blake" as I never really got over Radar's infamous line, "I have a message. Lieutenant Colonel ... Henry Blake's plane ... was shot down ... over the Sea of Japan. It spun in ... there were no survivors." and I felt I needed the closure. I continued small talk with the engaging owner as he handcrafted my sub so that I could, in my own small way, say,"Abyssinia," to Col. Blake. The first thing that caught my eye was the way Sonny cuts the bread for his sandwiches; akin to how Subway originally cut theirs, he "scoops" out the top and makes a long bread bowl in which to ply his craft. He then expertly lays the ingredients down with care and genuine passion for his food. The green, crisp lettuce is placed on the bottom, followed by garden fresh tomatoes and then the whole kit and caboodle heads south with the introduction of the processed meat food product stacked high -- all topped off with your selection of sliced cheese. Everything was great, except, as noted before, the processed meats. If Sonny gets a new meat distributor I'll be back, meanwhile, The Big Boy says, "It's not bad if you're in a pinch and it has a great owner, but your food dollar would be better spent elsewhere.“

“I absolutely love The Creek!! Great atmosphere, all the staff is amazing! From the door men, security to the bar to the teachers and dancing. I can’t say enough about this place! I will forever promote them! Izza Vybe for sure! Well done yall!!“

“I guess I would be considered a regular!! I come from Palm Bay and from my first visit until now the staff is the most friendliest, the most helpful and kindest staff I’ve ever encountered. Truly a bingo family. They maybe smaller than most but have the biggest hearts. If you’re looking for a smoke free, drama free place to enjoy the game of Bingo, come join us at Treasure Room, a true treasure in Sebastian, FL❤️“

“My husband and I went on a Thursday night for the first time and they were super super busy because it was trivia night but we were in and out in an hour. Our waitress Marissa was hustling to attend to all her customers . She was , super friendly and very attentive. She was amazing. We definitely will be back !! Thank you !!“

“I cook all day and this is my goto spot for home cooked food“

“We highly recommend Ocean 302! Everything, was beyond perfect! Culinary excellence!!!“

“Excellent burgers to go! Prepared fresh, large portion, cooked how it was ordered and ready fast, for pick up! Super friendly service. Awesome local spot ❤️“

“We have eaten at IHOP for years back in Texas and now this one here in Melbourne Florida. This being our first time in Melbourne we had no idea of what to expect and found that unsurprisingly the food was a to be expected good and cooked to order. We had Candace serving us and she was absolutely amazing. With her sweet smile, kind words, joyful attitude as well as overall attentiveness while tending to her other customers she made this experience a blessing.“

“Always delicious, perfectly cooked steaks. I cook for a living and come to Longhorn when I want an excellent steak and to be taken care of by an outstanding server. This has consistently been my experience.

Every Chef that I know has a favorite place to go to when we are just tired and have seemingly cooked for the world. Longhorn is my place to go to. Mostly I will order the Rib Eye, Ceasar Salad & dessert. Sometimes I order a different steak, street corn, loaded Baked Potato. Whenever I am in the mood for I know is going to be good.

Good job team!“

“We went in with an hour until close and a little skeptical on how service and food would be due to the late hour. To our surprise, we were greeted within seconds of walking thru the door and seated in the bar at a table of our choice. Moments later our server/bartender greeted us, without a rush, suggested a cocktail that we ordered x 2 along with an appetizer. That was served to us quickly as our orders were taken along with a to-go order. Our steak was cooked perfectly and the service overall was superb. The entire experience from beginning to end was most excellent. I'm not sure of the bartenders name but she provided the best service and for that reason, we'll definitely be back.“

“After a great dinner, nice river view, and friendly service at Mulligans in Sebastian last night, we will be back for our favorites; the monster fried fish and firecracker shrimp meal. Thank you Mulligan’s for listening to your customers regarding pricing and service. See you soon!“

“Warm customer service and great food!“

“I stopped there to get dinner. I had cheesesteak. It was phenomenal and believe it or not. I ate dinner. Had a drink a regular drink and not a mixed drink and I spent 20 bucks. Totally amazing for today’s time. I will probably go there again.“
