“This place is a hidden gem in Merritt island! The food is amazing here and ever time I’ve come it’s been great! A favorite of mine is the rice cake dog and the squid ink half and half!”

“Wabi Sabi is truly a standout. Every visit is a reminder of how great food, thoughtful presentation, and warm service can come together to create something special. Their commitment to quality is clear in every dish — fresh ingredients, vibrant flavors, and a menu that balances creativity with tradition.

As someone who works closely with restaurants through Sanwa Food Group, I see firsthand who takes pride in what they serve. Wabi Sabi does just that. They treat their guests like family, and it shows in the care they put into both the dining experience and their business relationships.

If you're looking for consistently excellent food and a welcoming atmosphere, Wabi Sabi is a place you’ll keep coming back to.”

“Fantastic experience! What an unexpected fun adventure. Sara the bartender was extremely knowledgeable and friendly; the other patrons were welcoming and interactive and the kombucha was excellent!”

“Beautiful establishment, i greatly enjoyed purchasing my food from the young man at the register, Food was absolutely delectable, very well done, great jalapeño cheese stuffed pretzels, only thing that knocked a star was that it was cold outside, but nothing on the eatablishment, i do recommend sno hut!”

“A group of us went for the early bird special -which is an amazing deal- and ate so much flavorful, juicy, fresh meat! Tried and liked them all. They have a large tasty 3 station salad and hot bar to fill up on as well. Try it once at least! (you'll want to go back). Staff is very friendly, helpful and casual; it's fine dining without the uncomfortable stiffness that often comes with fine dining. Chef was taking requests. Not crowded and they were cool with us hanging out talking for a long time after our meal. Great cheesy rolls. Highly recommend.”

“The food was so good that a “review” will not suffice. Only a poem written from the soul will. However, I am too far into cheeseburger bliss to formulate such a masterpiece. Insert *poem on how this meal changed my life and made me believe in heaven again.*”

“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.”

“My wife and I went to Dixie Belle's Grill and Bar for breakfast on Sunday morning. We've seen the building when coming into Port Canaveral and decided to pull off of the Banana River Drive exit, we're glad we did! I had the meat lovers omelette with a biscuit and gravy and hash browns. My wife had the two egg special with rye bread and hash browns. We like our hash browns extra crispy and they were made to order just the way we like them. Our server, Courtney, is the best! We found the food and service are great and the prices are fair for the amount of food you are served. We will definitely be back again!”

“Best chicken wings I ever ate and I am from Buffalo”

“Our experience was amazing. We were greeted very promptly and with a friendly smile by Sarina at the front and quickly taken to our table of 10. Autumn came over with a smile and gave us the most amazing and enjoyable experience. The food prepared by the kitchen staff was excellent. The Chicken Parm is delish.
Back to Autumn. We are from Toronto Canada and do not have an Olive Garden. The pride that I saw by the servers speaks highly of the managers and the Brand. Autumn connected with us and made our experience one I will talk about for a long time.

Thank you”

The sandwiches were perfectly made, and their positive attitudes always make the experience even better for my teenage son and I.

“the Chinese food was excellent and would get the tacos again”

“Great place, suggest it to everyone! Great food, great staff, and great atmosphere! One of my favs, can ya tell?”

“Best pretzels I’ve ever had. Auntie Anne’s, Wetzel’s, I love you all but you’ll have to step aside. Firstly, pretzel bites amazing, liked the fork included. Perfect amount of salt and butter. Pretzel the same way. Pretzel Dog BEST ever. No uncooked dough or anything. Had to wait ~10 minutes for it. Worth the wait, had to get another. I’m deducting key points because of 1. Location 2. Online vs. In-Store menu. I was going to get an Italian Pretzel + Pretzel Sticks, both of which were not sold here yet displayed on the website. It’s fine because I still got food it’s just a bit inconvenient.

Parking: Use mall’s parking lot”

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

“Since the Space Center is a full day experience, it’s great that there is a healthy and filling vegan option. I got the BBQ Jackfruit, Black Beans and Edamame for protein on my custom bowl. The jalapeños were very hot! Staff were not aware of which sauces were vegan. I got sriracha and pico de gallo.”

“Great food & I'm picky when it comes to eating Chinese food. I got the vegetables and fried rice, and my girlfriend ate the Mongolian beef ...which by the way was Hella good. So now this is are go to Chinese restaurant.”

“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!”

“Hibachi Buffet is a buffet with a good variety of items, tailoring to just about anyone who likes Chinese food. At the time of my visit, Hibachi was not an option but they did have the sushi bar open. The employees are friendly enough, and the atmosphere is above average.

Other than those positives, the water tasted like it was fresh out of the sink, the fountain Pepsi was flat and the food was just about average, with some select options shining above the others.

I would not expect to be blown away but it is about what you can expect from a run of the mill buffet, which isn't bad at all.”

“Great friendly service. Always great food!”

“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.”

“As always for over 20 years it was great fresh food great customer service nice atmosphere i will continue to come to this subway till they lock the door and I pray that don't happen in my life time as always love you subway 💕”

“The atmosphere is pleasant, the people who serve the majority are very kind, but there is a very obnoxious elderly person who is very unpleasant and serves very poorly, she leaves a negative balance on the service.”

“Favorite place to visit when ever I come to Merritt Island 🥰”

“My wife and I went on a date tonight to Longhorn in Merritt island. Ashley H was our waitress. Ashley is an amazing waitress. She was very friendly and attentive but not overbearing. Thank you for the great experience.”

“First time to visit since it turned over to Champs. Went with a small group of lady friends for lunch. Our server, Lindsey, was on top of things, and accommodating to us chatty ladies. She helped us through the menu with suggestions. There is a daily menu special as well. 2 of us had the berry salad, 1 had the Ceasar salad and 1 had the daily BBQ sandwich special. All of us said it was a do-over for the meal. Lindsey made sure we wanted for nothing. Very good service!”

We've seen the building when coming into Port Canaveral and decided to pull off of the Banana River Drive exit, we're glad we did! I had the meat lovers omelette with a biscuit and gravy and hash browns. My wife had the two egg special with rye bread and hash browns.

We found the food and service are great and the prices are fair for the amount of food you are served. We will definitely be back again!”

“Drove from Orlando just to try their cheesesteak. Did not disappoint.”

“The Beyond Burger was a Beyond Burger. Nothing fancy, but given the context, it was nice to have one available. Others have noted that it's served with no toppings, but that's because they have a topping bar where you can add lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, etc. as you please. The toppings were quite fresh too! Your mileage may vary, but we used mobile order, and despite being a busy holiday weekend, the order was ready within 10 minutes. Will definitely go back next time we visit KSC.”

“Cashier didn't know how to give me my free reward confused ordered crispy chicken biggie meat was supposed hard I couldn't eat”
