38 Best American Restaurants near Port Saint John

“Great server she was wonderful! Food was tasty and portions generous. We thought the prices were good. We will be back. Thank you for a great experience!“

“I had a burger and it was good! Friendly staff!“

“We often eat at Cracker Barrel after church; the only problem is that ALOT of other people enjoy eating here. The good; most of the waitresses are very friendly and some actually remember to bring the extras that you ask for even though they are crazy busy (cb). They seat you fairly quickly even when they are cb. Yum, so glad they added lattes to the menu and same price as every coffee shop The not so good; the acoustics in all Cracker Barrel’s stinks. You can barely hear your table mates especially when it is cb. I SOO wish they offered waffles. Overall, we all enjoy eating here even for dinner sometimes 🥰 PS. The campfire chicken was amazing!!“

“Everything we ate there was delicious. The service was amazing. We got the tattoo man and he was juggling waters and showed us just the tip of his head. His name was Jason!!!“

“We are regulars to Muddies on Sunday am and sometimes during the week. Today I had the shrimp basket for breakfast. I saw it last Sunday and thought I would have it today. I was not disappointed at all! Great breakfast item. We love all the staff, friendly, thoughtful and quick to smile. We love Carrie, Debbie and MS Bonnie. The owners John and Debbie are always quick to please no matter how busy they may bee. thank you for wonderful breakfast or lunches. We appreciate everyone's hard work. Thank you everyone.“

“Old school diner, simple atmosphere, good food. Go there for a good, hot meal.“

“Jabbers has been my go-to for good food and drinks. The servers are awesome, Sarah is my favorite! She’s always on top of everything and I enjoy everything she recommends. The new menu is great! Love all the new choices. 10/10 recommend!“

“Cocoa Beach, FL. Surprisingly fresh and healthy salads! The menu’s not just hamburgers and pub food. They have a good variety of salads.

As a birthday treat, we came here to Cocoa Village as my friend wished. When we got hungry, Pub Americana met our health needs.

Their Wedge Salad featured Gorgonzola cheese, crisp bacon chunks, cherry tomato halves, thin red onion slices and blue cheese dressing over a couple little wedges of iceberg lettuce. It was delicious and filling and it met my needs for a low carb, lower-potassium meal.

My friends both got the Steak Caprese salads: Grilled tenderloin steak bites (a lot of them!), fresh mozzarella, grape tomatoes, Arcadian greens drizzled with a balsamic reduction. They were delighted with how good everything tasted.

We sat outside and enjoyed the fresh sea air. Pub Americana is across the street from Taylor Park, and beyond that you can see the ocean.

Like many of the establishments in Cocoa Village, Pub Americana welcomes dogs, so we had two furry friends sitting near us with their families.

Our server (short dark hair) was wonderful. They knew what they were doing, remembered all the details, kept our glasses topped off, and checked on us and everyone outside very well. This was on Saturday, 5/31/25, around 1:25 pm.

I recommend sitting outdoors here, if you can.

By the way, their bathroom is to the left of the entrance and you go down a big dip in the floor that’s hard to see. Both my friends stumbled a bit going down and up that section of flooring. They commented the incline down could be better marked with a warning.“

“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!“

“I love this place, best wings in Titusville. If you like blue cheese with your wings, then you're in for a treat. They make their blue cheese dip from scratch and it's amazing. I can no longer eat blue cheese that comes in the pre-packaged tubs that most places serve. I always have excellent service, the food is really good, great atmosphere...it doesn't get any better. This place is so much more than a bowling alley.“

“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 husband and I went today for dinner. Have gone before but today the service was exceptional!! Hannah was terrific! She made our experience terrific!! Thank you Hannah!!.“

“Today was my birthday and I wanted to share my review at dixie crossroads and now that I went here I met my waiter Anthony and he was a nice, respectful, kind with words and very good on top of everything I'm giving him a 5 star review for giving me the best birthday and the best service I had ever had and I hope that he is well token care of the company and he deserves it.“

“The portions were huge, and food was delicious. But customer service was fantastic. I have 4 young kids including a rambunctious 2 year old who’s currently refusing to sit still and eat. The waitress was so accommodating with him and brought us slices of cheese and then mandarin oranges to try and get him to eat something. There was an issue with the computer and my card was charged twice. I contacted them via Facebook and the issue was resolved immediately. Definitely recommend giving them a try!“

“Stopped for brunch this morning first time there. It’s a typical diner. Was disappointed that a business that says Mitchell’s Mimosas had no champagne to make mimosas. It’s not far from a few places that they could’ve picked up a few bottles of sparkling wine if running low. It is Father’s Day after all. Best part of entire experience was the very friendly, efficient waitress Trinity. She was attentive, suggested a few things on the menu, ensured beverages were filled. Food was good- typical diner. Is it a place I would go out of my way for? Probably not. But if I do, I would want Trinity as my server.“

“Awesome restaurant, great service and friendly staff“

“Our server, Savana, was great. She really did her best, but I think the service problem was with the kitchen. Appetizers came out quickly, tasted great and the portion sizes were good. 3 entrees came out after a 30 minute wait, but the other 4 took 45 minutes AFTER the first ones were served. Needless to say, the first 3 were finished before the rest of us got our entrees. We ordered dessert and that took another 30+ minutes for 2 slices of orange cake and 2 slices of key lime pie. Savanna mentioned she had to cut the cakes herself. There was one table of 2 when we arrived and 2 tables of 3 or 4 Which arrived after us and got served before us. If you're looking for food that is okay , Go visit, if you're looking for exceptional service.It probably should not be on the top of your list. Poutine was great, chicken casadilla was very good, ceasar salad Lettuce was a little old, bolognaise was good and the penne Alfredo was very good.“

“Fresh catch fish every day which is absolutely delicious! Amazing Ceviche & Mahi Fish Dip. Great view, awesome vibe, exceptional service. Classy yet casual and lets not forget the Specialty Cocktail 🍹Menu which has an assortment of different style craftails 😉“

“Great locals spot! Friendly, basic, no frills, comfortable!“

“Best breakfast I have ever had. I got the Southern mess. Excellent“

“Our food was great, but our server Sheri took our experience to the next level! She was so friendly and helpful with all of our questions. My son has some dietary restrictions that make going out difficult, but Sheri made us feel comfortable like I never have before! We will definitely be back!“

“delicious. we are ready for KSC. Alyssa is so sweet. great service. great cook. really fun“

“Loved finding this place.
Comfortable and small.
The staff took awesome care of us!

No food pictures, as we must have been hungry.
Pretzel with beer cheese and mustard. I don’t normally like beer cheese. This place changed my mind! You should definitely try it.
Buffalo chicken dip - fantastic. I wish I had more dipping items to finish it. Yummy.
Beer - I am a light weight beer drinker. I enjoyed the Liquid Bread. But I suggest the Spicy Raspberry Liquid Bread.

Atmosphere - great theme. Wrenches on the taps. Bicycles above the cabinets.“

“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.“

“We had a wonderful dinner tonight! From the wines to the small plates, to our “ramen special” then desserts, the experience was awesome! Very cozy place and friendly management/owners/chef! We will definitely be back!“

“This was my first time, I wanted to see what all the hype was about!
On their menu all the burgers show 2 patties. Not everyone wants a 2 patty burger! I ordered the deluxe burger with one patty, fries & onion rings to-go. The burger was just ok, and I love a good burger! When I got home both the fries & onion rings were still hot but the burger was barely warm. I was turned off with the greasy bag I was given with my food inside.
The young lady who took my order was very helpful, helping me navigate the menu. I will most likely try Culver's again to see if they do better!“

“Wonderful meal got chicken fried steak eggs great service“

“I like there food very much“

“Check this place out if you are in the area. Their food is great and I love their coffee. You will not be disappointed!“

“Wish they were closer to us near New Smyrna. The beers are always a great mix of types. The food is unique and very delicious. Friendly service everywhere.“

“the fried gizzards are the best I have ever had. such a nice little place. Cole slaw was great. All our meals were great. definitely recommend.“

“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 ! It’s rare to encounter a server with such personality , we thought his boss should know what a gem they have on their team! :0)“

“I love going to Time Out for lunch or after work. Staff here is great and fun, food is well worth the money, and its a very chill relax spot“

“Rec 225- Cocoa, FL- 3.75 Stars "I lurched away from the table after a few hours feeling like Elvis in Vegas - fat, drugged, and completely out of it." ― Anthony Bourdain Getting back into the swing of things post--Covid has been great for the Big Boy and I hope for you as well. Thank you for all the comments, supportive and not so supportive. As you can see, I take each one to heart and answer straightforward. I do not cut corners in my reviews, nor do I apologize for them. Finding myself meandering up the Space Coast, I grabbed my random eatery generator and punched in my location. A few nearby eateries popped up and I found myself near the local star, Cryderman's Barbecue. Curious as to who could hang in the same neighborhood, I ventured into Rec 225. The first impression was one of spic and span clean, like your kitchen when you know guests are coming over. Grabbing a table, our waiter Jo-Jo came over to see how we were doing. It turns out that Jo-Jo is also the owner and not only cares about the customer but obviously takes pride in his business as he was welcoming, friendly, knowledgeable and just downright awesome. Honestly, I can't say enough good things about Jo-Jo. I placed an order for their eponymous sandwich, the 225, along with one Mac & Cheese grilled cheese and a side order of Bacon and Bleu fries. As for a drink, I went with the vaunted Jarritos Orange (how can you go wrong with this liquid concoction of pure delight?). Waiting eagerly for the foodstuffs to arrive I continued to glance about the place and found the interior charming. Before too long, Jo-Jo came back with my order, placed it upon my table and offering a sincere, "Enjoy your meal," Jo-Jo went off to address other patrons. Looking at the pictures you can see that everything certainly did look scrumptious! Grabbing the self-named sandwich, The Big Boy went to work. Comprised of bacon, Gouda, french fries, and tomato pesto on garlic Texas toast it was a delicious mouthful of exquisite flavor. The combination of the bacon and Gouda was enough to send one's taste buds into a dance of joy, add to that the fresh tomato pesto and the perfectly golden fries and you are entering the taste bud danger zone! Seriously, I thought mine were going to sashay right out of my mouth they were so pleased with the flavors found in this masterpiece of a sandwich. It almost felt like a crime when I set it down and turned my attention to the Mac & Cheese grilled sandwich, but a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do. This was far from the simple grilled cheese we all ate as a kid. This incorporated classic mac&cheese with Gouda served on Texas toast. Grilled in butter to a perfect golden hue, it was thoroughly enjoyable on the palate. What I can say about the fries? They were cooked just right and smothered in bleu cheese and bacon. How could you go wrong? The Big Boy says, "If your not nearby, make an excuse to be nearby and grab some incredible grub!" #iamthebigboy #bigboydiningout“
