17 Best American Restaurants in Palm Bay

“Ehhh not necessarily family friendly. Came 2 weeks ago with my 3 littles for lunch. Our waitress was AMAZING!! The waitress who brought our food not so much. She argued with myself and my 6 year old son about the pickle with his meal. The pickle is included with a kids burger meal right?! I paid for it right? My special needs son cried, I was embarrassed for him and she finally brought one. Needless to say I will waste my gas to go to the beachside location and not this one. I can’t not have that happen again with my kids and she needs more training. Blonde with braided pig tails. We came around 11:30 on 6/39/2025. I’ve never been so embarrassed in my life. She needs more training or to be fired. Again will not ever return with my 3 kids and this has been a favorite place since our first child in 2015 and just us since 2013. I’d rather waste gas going beachside than to have her as our waitstaff for food again. 🤷🏼‍♀️“

“Excellent food. Great service.“

“Best bar around. Food is on point. Keeley is the best. Very attentive and can handle a lot of people.Stepanie is great too but rarely works behind the bar where I usually sit. It's a great neighborhood bar all types of different people and I've never seen any problems or there any fights there. Most people know each other. They are closed on Sundays until football starts but other than that they're open quite a bit they have trivia, they have bingo, live bands and they have karaoke“

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

“Ordered Steak subs, made exactly as ordered, with lots of delicious fries. Delicious! Made quick too! Also got the chocolate mousse cheesecake, huge slice and so tasty! Sweet Amanda helped me sort through the menu to decide exactly what to order! Best waitress ever, give that girl a raise! You will not find anyone to treat you better!“

“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.“

“Warm customer service and great food!“

“I love this bar. The food is amazing! The wings are the best in palm bay and the prices are better than a lot of bars around. The burgers are great too! The staff is so friendly and the atmosphere is really good too. I highly recommend this bar.“

“Excellent dining experience, made possible by Alyssa, she was very attentive ,and efficient. Manager Becca. stopped to chat, took notice of our dinner, quickly pointed out her disappointment in the quality of the steak I was provided, (too much fat). I was fine with it, no problem on my part. She was not pleased with quality and made adjustment to the bill and offered heart felt apology. Fantastic attitude and surprise. Thanks“

“I love Sonny’s I use to frequent that place… and am visiting and got to share a tasty meal with my soon to be Husband… his 1st time having it, he loved it!!!“

“On vacation from Puerto Rico we took the boy who loves to eat here, the breakfasts are definitely good but they should take the waitresses out and let you order and get your drink, after all they don't do anything. They have a hesitation between them. And she never came by to fill my drinks again, I had to go look for someone to fill my drinks and that bothered her. But damn if you don't come, then I'll go. But he did ask if I wanted to tip him. That face is lettuce.“

I am happy you are back open, but let's not fall bsck into the same ol rush ya thru and forget part of the order.. I live 20 minutes away, or I would have come back“

“Buffet on Thanksgiving was so nice. They got us in very fast and food was great and service was just as great. Thank them very much.“

“Awesome selection and phenomenal waitresses!! Food is delicious!! I live in Sebastian and every time I come up to see friends this is a must stop💖🐬“

“I came here with a friend and our food was delicious. More importantly, our server was absolutely the best. I hope if I ever return to this location that I get him again and I also hope that he always gets great tips from every customer he has because if anyone deserves them, he does. 15/10 service.“
