“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!“

“We are here from South Carolina for a baseball tournament. I called around 3:00 and spoke to a manager about accommodating a large group of us for dinner. They reserved 4 big outdoor tables for us that were ready upon our arrival. Our waitresses were amazing and patient. The food was delicious and fresh! The manager hung out with our kids for a few minutes, gave them along Dogger stickers and ice cream. It was a wonderful experience for all of us. Highly recommend!!“

“Amazing creations from our favorite, Chef Bo! The menu and atmosphere don't disappoint. Bo, Shannon ,and staff are awesome. So happy to have a location in Brevard that offers Hog Fish, which is hard to find. The menu has a wide variety and the cocktails are on point. This will be on our regular list of go-to places!“

“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..“

“Great breakfast place! Blueberry pancakes never disappoint. Friendly staff. Nostalgic.“

“Excellent food. Great service.“

“She was so sweet and amazing! Great coffee“

“We had a wonderful Anniversary dinner with a beautiful view of the river at the restaurant! We both ordered the Proscuitto scallop tagliatelle, and it was incredibly delicious! The portions were large, so there was almost half left over to take home. We just had try the aguave cheesecake, and it also was really yummy!😋Our server Delilah was perfectly attentive, and our meals came our very quickly! We will come back for sure. I want to try everything on the menu!“

“5 stars was placed only because the second server that assist me on my take out. But the one on the picture with her phone looked at me ignore me when around the restaurant as I saw thinking she was busy but she just went around the restaurant and came back to watch her phone and completely ignore me. Should not have people like this representing a food and service industry. People should be psychologically evaluated before hiring so many people with no work ethic in this world how sad. But kudos 2 second Server“

“We have a wild two year old who makes eating out difficult. We heard this restaurant was kid friendly with a water area for littles to play so we decided to check it out while we were out in the area. We had a great experience! My son could have played there in the water all day if we let him. We sat outdoors in a shady area and watched him play as we ate our lunch. Win win! I got the chicken Philly (minus the mushrooms and marinara) and it was great! My husband got the buffalo chicken wrap and also enjoyed his. Both were much bigger than we had expected! We probably didn’t need to order sides (fries and onion rings) or could have shared one side between the two of us but that’s okay! We know for next time! My two littles got the kids chicken tenders and grilled cheese. I’m a big sweet tea girl but kind of picky. The tea was good! 🙌 Our server was also great and very friendly!“

“Had a great lunch the cheese burger was excellent also the crah cake,great service and very friendly.“

“10/10 recommend if you even remotely enjoy food.

The Okeechobee ice cream (biscuits and gravy) deserves a Michelin star of its own. The seasonal pumpkin pancakes? Could bring Dolly Parton back to life. Even the coffee, black, was on point.

Seriously, one of best breakfasts I've consumed in my life. And I eat a lot. Who would've thought this gem would exist in Melbourne of all places??“

“This is such a cute, fun little place! As adults we loved it, I can only imagine how much kids would enjoy it-- so much to look at and the ice cream was great! Florida in September is pretty hot, but with all the fans, we were able to enjoy our ice cream outside.“

“The chef there is the BEST!! Service is fast and excellent. Recently I've had the Brisket bowl and the Blackened Shrimp bowls. Wow- so good.“

“Nice dining experience. Nice bar area. Sara our server was great. There is something on the menu for everyone. We had the Ahi Tuna Pole Nachos, Ahi Tuna Poke Bowl and the Mongo Bowl (Mongolian Beef Poke bowl). The serving sizes were generous, very generous and they tasted deliciously incredible! We are house shopping in the area and this will become a fast favorite for sure! Thank you.“

“I normally don’t go into hotel restaurants and I did the passed weekend and my server Jordan was absolutely amazing!! He was so social and made me feel so welcomed immediately. He was fast, consistent with refills and made sure to go above and beyond to give me a great experience. Such a great server, with such a great personality. Will definitely come back even if I’m not staying at the hotel.“

“Nice spot to gather with friends for breakfast or lunch. Waitress was very friendly and the prices were reasonable. Food is great. Everyone was happy with their meals. Will be back again and bring more people.“

“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."“

“Melbourne Kitchen has a great atmosphere, unique menu items with high quality ingredients made fresh each day. Check them out, you won’t be disappointed“

“This was restaurant attached to the hotel and to our surprise the food was good. In the morning I had oatmeal and eggs. The oatmeal’s was good but the eggs tasted fake, I probably wouldn’t order them again. Lol

Lunch was a different story, my husband ordered the ribeye burger and sweet potato fries, he must’ve liked it he because he had no complaints. I didn’t care for the sweet potato fries lol. I ordered southwest egg-rolls and the Oceanside salad, I swapped the dressing for orange vinaigrette which was delicious!! The only downside to the salad was that it didn’t have enough toppings, purple onions, cheese and a few other additions would’ve made it top tier. The egg rolls I have no complaints for they were delicious and I wanted to order more but I was too full lol.

Overall the food is good especially for a hotel, I am not a picky eater so if I complain about a meal it’s because it truly lacked flavor or something essential.

Either way go try them out, the setting is beautiful, the staff seem kind and know the locals very well.“

“If you can ever go here considering there's only a few locations in Florida, the place is phenomenal. They are well known for their ice cream but the food was fantastic. I can't even explain how fantastic it was. I didn't even get to try the ice cream. The food was very filling but I guarantee if I'm back in the area again I will eat there and definitely try the ice cream“

“Love it there, great atmosphere and food!“

“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! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️“

“My experience was great here, Classic Culver’s flavors, And great service!

The bathrooms were even clean

My favorite thing was that they played Christian music. This is something that was amazing to me. Shout out to whoever owns this location. Definitely plan to come back. :)“

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

“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!“

“My wife and I celebrated our 39th wedding anniversary there last night. It was outstanding.

Scott allowed us to play a special song to celebrate, which we danced to, and completed the evening with an excellent meal and service from Kaylee.

I ordered the seafood special, which included lobster on a bed of rice. My wife ordered the grouper special with lemon capers.

The bread was fresh, the wine list was not extensive but had plenty of variety, from lower cost labels to top notch, both reds and whites, French, Italian, and even rose. They only serve beer and wine.
After our lobster bisque (also excellent), we danced, ate our meal, and had a very nice dessert.
All in:
Food quality: 5*
Service: 5*
Atmosphere: 5*

Reservations are required, which we did. The dinner is an experience, plan on 2 hours or so.

A bit pricey, but arguably the best meal in Brevard County, and well worth it.

Highest recommendation.“

“Great breakfast and lunch cafe and affordable“

“I highly recommend Lou's Blues bar! The food was really good, especially the pound of shrimp! Lou's is the place to be on Friday and Saturday nights!“

“What a delightful holiday luncheon our Lunch Bunch had yesterday. The table looked absolutely beautiful with a crisp white tablecloth, red and green napkins folded into a Christmas tree pattern, a red runner down the middle and short holiday decor in the middle, so you could visit across the table. Our waitress, Lisa, did a fine job of spoiling us throughout our visit. I ordered a muddled Old Fashion which was the best one I have ever had, ymm. Our meal choices were varied, delicious and enjoyed by everyone in our group of ten. I highly recommend choosing the Rialto Hilton for your next gathering.

“super friendly people and always a great time!“

“First time visiting Rooney's in Palm Bay, will not be our last. We had a party of about 15 on Friday, 10/9. We arrived at 5:30 and were able to be seated outside to listen to the band. The patio was almost full by the time we arrived. There was also plenty of seating inside to accommodate us if needed.

Our server, Brandi was prompt and very helpful keeping our tabs separate. The band was great, not too loud, we were able to talk to each other. I am looking forward to dining at Rooney's again.“
