Food was good and hot. I ordered a Broken Benny. I ordered with poached eggs instead of scrambled. I added with crab meat and it was GOOD!!!”

“We like going to Parkway Creamery. It’s more helpful that they take cards and we don’t have to make an extra trip to get some cash. My family has tried ice cream cones, blenders, Dole Whip and a root beer float. There are tables out front with umbrellas. There are some parking spaces out front and around the back. There’s also a drive thru if you don’t want to get out of the car. We recommend it.”

“I ordered a gyro combo with a soda. $14. It was HUGE! The gyro had to be 3/4 to 1 full pound! Mustafa skinned it right off the rack and it was awesome. It appears to be a one man op, so give him some time if he's busy. Not sure if you can call ahead, but that might be a good idea. He's down in the food court by the theater. It gives you that old school feeling of eating in the food court, again, albeit right next to closed Sbarro. :D
HIGHLY recommended by a fat guy!”

“My Wife and I had a couple of Thai dishes and they were excellent!”

“I lived in Southern California and in Texas, and traveled to Mexico often, my wife has lived Arizona and New Mexico, so we are used to authentic Mexican food. This is the best Mexican restaurant in Brevard. Everything we’ve tried is delicious. Everyone who works there offers great service. We love this place.”

“This is a very small place with limited seating. Nothing fancy, but it's by far the best Italian restaurant around. I got the lasagna. It's not what I expected, but good gosh was it good. It wasn't drowning in sauce. The owners are the cook and waitress. Everything is made in the restaurant. Service is perfect, attentive but not intrusive. Did I mention the food is fantastic? I also got the tiramisu for dessert. It was, by far, the best tiramisu I have ever had. This will be my go to restaurant. It's also quiet enough to have a pleasant conversation.”

“I’ve been coming to play Savannahs golf course for over two decades. Since Carter’s Grille made their appearance about 6 months ago. I find myself now showing up just for lunch and dinner. The food is hands down delicious, made fresh to order and fast enough to get on the turn. 10-10 and have been feeling that way for months.”

“This place has been around for years \n Best chicken wings in town also Hot n sour soup always get lunch specials. Oh one more. Thier shrimp with lobster sauce tried alot of others over the years. But this is the Best on Merritt Island”

“Back in December 6th 2025 had dinner with friends and I had to come on here to give props to the waitress. She was amazing bc she not only gave us excellent service, she did it while training a new waitress and didn’t miss a beat! We all commended her on how impressed we all were. She had the right amount of courtesy and skill to wait on us, give us recomendations, advised us up front if we were ok with her training while she waited on us; felt she gave the trainee the right amount of training with respect and dignity. Not hovering over her as she allowed her to serve us. Very courteous and respectful towards the trainee. KUDOS!!! 5+ Stars!”

“We had the pleasure of being served by Brian Burger at The Island, and we just wanted to say how much we enjoyed meeting him! He was not only attentive but also entertaining and funny !

Also, the Mushroom Swiss Burger cooked medium rare was perfectly cooked, which is hard to get done correctly. The Fish was also very good!!! I would recommend The Kings Duck for really good food!”

“Just ate the best pretzel I have ever had!! Anytime my mom and I go to a mall, we always get pretzels. These are by far the best! They are fresh, buttery and have such a great flavor.”

“Just got an Oreo shake here ND it was good. The only issue I had was the straw they give out. Its too think to suck up the cookie pieces mixed in the shake, making it difficult to drink. Did not try the burgers or fries at this location.”

“Mimmo’s has high quality ingredients and a delicious pizza. The grandma pizza is a MUST! It keeps us coming back for more.”

“Just a all-around great place. The staff is amazing.”

“Merri Cakes has THE BEST chicken salad! I get it on a wrap and usually order the side spinach salad too. The salad is very simple and the dressing is to die for. The cupcakes are excellent too and I love that they have minis. I always receive friendly service whether dine-in or carry-out.”

“what an awesome experience my GF and I had here. I love the staff, I adore their coffee. Smoothies are delicious!! Muffins are soft and tasty!! Love Katie she is amazing ❤️ thank you for taking good care of us!!”

“It’s inside a gas station. The seasoning on chicken/ wings is amazing and they are always hot and fresh. They also have the best biscuit imo.
The staff inside the store are very friendly”

“In town for vacation and our first time at Beef O’Brady’s. Our server, Raegan made it great. She was really attentive and welcoming, and her football energy made the visit even better. Awesome service!”

“Loved it! Will go again. Prices have gone up but still fair. Clean. Got a lot of different item and they were all good. Best fried rice in the area for sure!”

“Before yesterday, I had only had two perfect lattes from Starbucks. Both of those were from the Merritt Island N. Courtenay Parkway Starbucks. Yesterday, I was astonished to get a latte there that surpassed the ones I had thought to be perfect (only 2 over the past 2 years). I don’t often treat myself to a Starbucks latte, so it was even more special to have gotten a latte that was over-the-top delicious. Many thanks to Emily. Starbucks: please clone her! On a scale of 1 to 10, I give Emily an 85 (yes, FAR off the scale). I think it not possible to get another latte better than the one I had yesterday.”

“I got a quinoa bowl with Korean Beef BBQ, and four toppings, with ponzu sauce. The meat looked like it came out of an ice cube tray and tasted a bit funky, but everything else was pretty good. They have a broad selection of toppings and sauces. It cost $12.99 plus tax.”
