“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.”

“I’ve had only awesome experiences at this restaurant!”

The food is always delicious and out in 10 minutes or less. Always consistent. I always recommend this place to anyone who will listen!”

I will give them 5stars!!”

“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.”

“’ve been to many different kava bars and they really nailed it here! The teas are amazing and the prices are great compared to other places. Everyone is super friendly and the kavatenders are so attentive! My glass is never empty!!! Highly recommend everyone come check this place out! This place is my new go to.”

“It was a nice 70 degree weather so me and my daughter decided to get some ice cream. We noticed it wasn’t Dairy Queen anymore so we were worried the ice cream wouldn’t be as good. We went through the drive thru (which I was glad was still open) and was greeted with 2 friendly kind gentleman who took our order. It was very clean and the service was fast. They asked if we wanted it now or to go. They ice cream was amazing so we were glad and good prices too. Definitely left a good impression for us and we will be back!”

“Awesome food, great service and great atmosphere!”

“Was looking for a perfect brunch to take my mom who loves things cooked with real butter and fresh ingredients. We were served by two lovely girls named Hannah. Our coconut macadamia pancakes, brioche french toast, seasoned potatoes, and poached eggs were divine. We had the Havana cappuccinos as well. Chef's kiss. Highly recommend. We will return with the rest of the fam.”

“Best bagel deli in Central Florida! When I lived nearby, I was a weekly customer. I moved away over eight years ago, but I still return whenever I'm passing through the area. It is well worth the detour off I-95 for a good bagel sandwich!”

“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!”

“My husband and I went for breakfast and Luved it. Great breakfast and prices and a friendly atmosphere. We will be going again and maybe try lunch menu. ☆☆☆☆☆”

“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.”

“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”

“My favorite place to grab a drink cool atmosphere friendly people so many games to play !! I highly recommend if your looking to relax after a long day or just to have a good time !!”

“Small place, surprisingly good food. Basic dining area, but s the staff were great. Got there kinda late, but they made me feel welcome. They have hotpot so Ill be back to try it out”

“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”

“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”

“came today Sunday received outstanding customer service from jason who made an excellent original italianl sub then i saw amber who rang up my purchase in an outsranding manor,great people great service and great sandwich i WILL BE BACK TY MATT”

“They have a lot of healthy choices for lunch. The food was fresh. The employees were efficient to make the bowls. The mango smoothie was good. I definitely recommend this place over some of the other food choices in Kennedy Space Center.”

“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!!”

“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.”

“love their taco Tuesday special.....”

“These burgers were cheap back in college. They still on the smaller side and still taste good. Their fries are addicting. There is an eating area outside of every one of their locations (at least the ones I've been to in Texas and Florida).”

“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.”

“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!”

“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.”

“I usually drive here from Titusville, heading to Cocoa Bech an Port Canaveral). I usually get my Decaf Mocha and hang out in the parking lot, a nice reprieve).”

“Bri is a great bartender . She really takes care of her customers .”

“I'm so pleased with the guys and gal working tonight in the Merritt Island location! The food was SO delicious, the establishment was super clean and they were all so fast and friendly! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”

“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 💕”
