“We have been going to Dottie’s for over 20 years. Always great food and good service! Thank you all!“

“My sister and I went to Rooney’s for lunch today. We both ordered a cup of French onion soup and a shrimp basket. Everything was delicious. Loved the soup and the fact that the shrimp was lightly fried It didn’t have a lot of batter. Ordered a hamburger to bring home for my husband and he said is really good. He’s a hard sell so that saying a lot!“

“Excellent food. Great service.“

“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.“

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

“Copper Chimney has a really welcoming atmosphere and consistently good food. The flavors are rich, the portions are solid, and the service was friendly and attentive. Their butter chicken and garlic naan were definitely highlights. Prices are reasonable for the quality, and the restaurant felt clean and comfortable. Overall, a great spot for Indian food and somewhere I’d gladly go back to.“

“My wife and I go there occasionally and have a great time every time. The people and the workers are extremely friendly. Anytime that we have gone there we have never any trouble. I was so glad to be there in the beginning of March of 2026. I was the only one sitting close enough to this man that look like a human skeleton. I heard him say help me, help me, I asked him how can I help him and he told me that his name was the same as mine, Richard and he was going to die. He said call 911 and I did. Fortunately they got their very quickly and revived this man and took him away by ambulance. Good things happen at Ziggy's. I can't help to tell you the whole story that night. What I say some people may not think so funny, I did. When the police got there, there was a woman officer and a man. I'm not sure what they feed the Palm Bay Police, they're huge. The man officer asked Richard, did you do any drugs and he didn't answer.
At this point the man was almost completely laying on the bench, then he asked Richard, did you drink? Richard said, a pint of vodka, I told the officer I didn't know anything about that. To be honest, if I was this man, I would have done the same thing he did, forget the food and get the pint of vodka. 😁
I didn't want to delete this post, because it is different, a good friend of mine mentioned though, how is seeing a human skeleton good things? He definitely has a point. What I was after is you never know what you're going to see there.“

“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“
