50 Best American Restaurants near Satellite Beach

“Great spot! Locals do it better.“

“We have a wild two year old who makes eating out difficult. We heard this restaurant was kid friendly with a water area for littles to play so we decided to check it out while we were out in the area. We had a great experience! My son could have played there in the water all day if we let him. We sat outdoors in a shady area and watched him play as we ate our lunch. Win win! I got the chicken Philly (minus the mushrooms and marinara) and it was great! My husband got the buffalo chicken wrap and also enjoyed his. Both were much bigger than we had expected! We probably didn’t need to order sides (fries and onion rings) or could have shared one side between the two of us but that’s okay! We know for next time! My two littles got the kids chicken tenders and grilled cheese. I’m a big sweet tea girl but kind of picky. The tea was good! 🙌 Our server was also great and very friendly!“

“My wife and I went out for a quick dinner and stopped in to Seaside Florida Grill. We had a very early dinner like 515 so the restaurant was not crowded and to our surprise, we were pleasantly surprised with the quality of the appetizers, the soup and the main dish. We both had one of their specialty drinks as well as a martini and they were really well made with a lot of flavor. The key lime sea scallops were cooked to perfection and were at a good temperature. The lobster bisque was a big bowl which I ended up eating most of it, but didn’t know how large the portion was going to be so I only ate what I knew I could finish my main meal. I had the surf and turf and it was really tasty and my wife had the chipotle muscles. We will definitely be back and try to pick a time where the atmosphere is a little bit more lively. The server was also very attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. Didn’t wanna leave her out. She was great.“

“Love, love, love this place and their staff are amazing! Andrea is a doll and knows the customers so well! Fish sammich and sweet potato fries are delish!💗“

“Very casual vibe to the place. We sat at the bar. I was super excited to see Buzztime trivia. The servers were attentive yet not overly in your face. I got the buffalo wings and my goodness they were lit!🔥 The smoke flavor combined with the sauce was incredible. Yes, they actually smoke meat. Had a great chat with one of the owners, he was very personable and his excitement for what he’s doing was apparent. Husband really enjoyed the brisket pizza. The only downside is that it’s not closer to my house or this would be my local hangout. Recommended if in the area!“

“I am not sure if the base is the local community but from the other guests I was it sure looked and felt like it and it made a cozy atmosphere. My server was wonderful and the good was fresh and good.“

“My Family Visited Texas Roadhouse while on vacation, we went out on our last night in Florida also for one of my daughter’s Birthday. We are a family of 7 and we were welcomed , seated, had our orders taken and served our food without any issues, the staff was amazing, so friendly and welcoming. The atmosphere was alive the other guests seemed to be having as much fun as we were. Being a family of 7 We aren’t very quiet and we both talked and laughed loud! But we seemed to go unnoticed. When it came time for the bill to be delivered they surprised our 17 year old with A Birthday surprise, brownie and a song. She was a good sport probably the highlight of her night. Thanks for the great experience on our final day of vacation. From the big loud family from New Brunswick Canada“

“Ashley was amazing!! On top of our every desire!! Got served quickly throughout our quick stay! Food was excellent and drinks were on point! Band was great!!on our favorite list from here on out!!“

“We stopped here for an impromtu birthday lunch and our server Thomas was exceptional. This was one of the best experiences I have had at a restaurant in a while. Thanks to Thomas’ hospitality,genuine warmth and his easy rapport with us. 5 stars to you Thomas!!****.“

“We had been to the restaurant several times— unfortunately not since the pandemic kicked in. This was our first visit in a couple of years. It was amazing!! The food was great! The atmosphere was wonderful! We had Alyssa— who has the best personality!! She is one of few people who we really enjoyed talking to! Highly recommended!!“

“We visited recently for our anniversary, we love this place! We were warmly welcomed in, while our table was prepared. Getting to our table, we had a thoughtful card signed by the staff wishing us a happy anniversary as well. Our server, Doug, was simply amazing.We wanted to hang out with him all evening! He took amazing care of us, and made very thoughtful recommendations with his great knowledge of the menus. We had the onion tart for an appetizer and it was decadent paired well with some wine and a nice craft cocktail. Main courses of a heritage pork chop perfectly cooked, and my wife had some amazing fettuccini. The flourless chocolate cake for dessert was absolutely divine. The service and atmosphere were top notch. We will always make this one of our regular spots! Thank you for an amazing evening, and do whatever you can to keep Doug! He is an amazing person and has one of the best service mindsets I have experienced.“

“Jess and Katie are the best bartenders. Best sliders ever.“

“We were there for dinner two weeks ago and went today for the happy hour specials. We tried 5 items on the menu, oysters, shrimp cocktail, chicken satay, beef sliders and mushroom flat bread. Everything was delicious! Our server was very helpful and friendly. We will definitely be back.“

“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. 🤷🏼‍♀️“

“We had a great experience. The food is so good. The service was fast. Everything was excellent.“

“What a great addition to Cocoa Beach! So safe, welcoming as soon as you walk in the door. Beautiful decor, they did it right! And I am now a kombucha fan!! Thank you!“

“only been here a few times, but enjoyed everything so far. nice staff as well as good meals“

“We were seated almost immediately at a good sized table for the. The waitress was there right away and took our drink order. The drinks were really good ?. We were given enough time to figure out our food order. Appetizer came out first and quickly. Entrae's came just as we were finishing up the appetizer. Everything was delicious and plentiful. No room for dessert was left. I highly recommend Cabana Shores.“

“Marissa was fantastic!“

“the best people that work“

“My husband and friend and I were able to visit the beach today and I had my eye on this place for weeks. We were not disappointed. the food was so good and the staff was so kind and friendly. I totally recommend this place. And the best part, it's right near the beach! ❤️“

“Delicious, fresh awesome 👏“

“Been going here since I was a kid. Best place for breakfast/brunch around.“

“I love EATz! I crave this place more than any local restaurants. My favorite are the deserts and as far as sandwiches, I LOVE the Maryann’s melt. My absolute favorite! If you haven’t tried them, you’re missing out!!!“

“Great place to grab a nicely priced average breakfast meal. I had the country fried steak and it was good nothing special but I would recommend this place if you're looking to great prices and a good meal. I loved the variety of jams for the toast. And there is definitely no shortage of hot sause after being handed the Costco sized bulk Franks Red Hot. Would go back.“

“Food was great, love that old time feeling still there“

“Today we came in and the host was not the brightest! My elder mother walks with a walker and the host took her down the most narrow path and watched as she hit every chair and then didn't even orfer to help or move them. Of course this instantly upset us all. Then she left the menus on the table and walked away as my mother was still walking up the ramp! We sat down and the waiter came over, Marcus P he was absolutely amazing 👏 listened to my mother as she told him how embarrassing that was for her and how upset she was and he just listened and completely went ABOVE AND BEYOND FOR OUR TABLE. HE WAS VERY FRIENDLY AND TOOK GREAT CARE OF US. HE CHANGED THE OUT COME OF OUR VISIT. THANK YOU MARCUS 😊 🙏. ALSO THANK YOU TO THE COOK AS WELL YOU PREPARED THE FOOD QUICKLY AND IT CAME OUT TASTY. THANK YOU.“

“Food was great, love that old time feeling still there“

“We had a wonderful Anniversary dinner with a beautiful view of the river at the restaurant! We both ordered the Proscuitto scallop tagliatelle, and it was incredibly delicious! The portions were large, so there was almost half left over to take home. We just had try the aguave cheesecake, and it also was really yummy!😋Our server Delilah was perfectly attentive, and our meals came our very quickly! We will come back for sure. I want to try everything on the menu!“

“The prime rib sandwich was great!“

“Dustin's Bar-B-Q- Melbourne, FL- 4 Stars (Chain Restaurant Score) There are a few things we hold sacred here on the Space Coast one of those being Publix subs and the other being barbecue. Florida may be more of a melting pot than the rest of the South, but we still know good barbecue and in fact, insist upon it. I mention this as my random name generator appointed Dustin's Bar-B-Q in Melbourne as my next destination. One of my researchers was able to find out that they have been around since 1991, with their flagship perhaps being their Deland location, though this could not be confirmed. They are family-owned and operated and have expanded to 6 locations spaced from Orlando to Ormond Beach and down to our beloved Melbourne. Pulling into their Melbourne location I was greeted with a barren parking lot. Exiting the Big Boy Mobile, I am pretty sure I heard the wind whistle and witnessed a tumbleweed roll on by, but don't quote me on that. This could mean something, It could not. Remember readers, never judge a book by its cover, or in this case the food by the parking lot. The interior was COVID clean, well-spaced and pleasantly lit. I really enjoyed the plants throughout, real or not, they gave a nice warm feel to the joint. I was shown a table, handed a menu and got to work. I soon noticed a lady measuredly advancing upon my table, when she arrived, she languidly introduced herself as, Janelle. Janelle, while being competent and pleasant wasn't going to win any service awards, but she wasn't going to bring the curve down either. She asked if I had any questions or if I was ready to order. I requested an order of their Beef, Pork and Chicken Combo with sides of BBQ beans, mac and cheese and garlic bread. With an empty establishment, I was expecting my order to be done promptly and I was not disappointed as I soon saw Janelle unhurriedly escorting my meal to the table. Looking at the pictures, I can only assure my readers that from the food encapsulated therein there arose such a fragrant, down-home, Southern barbecue aroma that I nearly began to drool before Janelle had stepped back and asked if there was anything else with which she could help. Reaching blindly for my utensils, I absently brushed her off and commenced dining. The Beef, pork and chicken were all well cooked to barbecue perfection and while the sauce was nice and tangy, I measure all BBQ by Cryderman's (the gold standard) and this was not on that level. Even with flavorful garlic bread, competently prepared beans and properly cooked mac & cheese, this was just a tad short of the bar set by Cryderman's. This food was miles above Woody's and other nearby places, but not the top of the line. There is nothing wrong with that. If I'm in the mood or with a companion in the mood for above-average barbecue, I wouldn't think twice about stopping back in here. The Big Boy Says, " For 4-star food from a family-operated local chain, this place is a go-to." #iamthebigboy #bigboydiningout“

“This is such a cute, fun little place! As adults we loved it, I can only imagine how much kids would enjoy it-- so much to look at and the ice cream was great! Florida in September is pretty hot, but with all the fans, we were able to enjoy our ice cream outside.“

“After wanting to try this place for years, I finally made it in. Dinner was good. Scallops were plump and cooked perfectly. After a good night's sleep, I was ready for their breakfast buffet. There isn't much more in life I love more than a good buffet, and this one was great for a hotel restaurant. $18.99 included coffee and a fairly decent spread. My favorite item by far were the croissants. Real and delicious! Compliments to the chef, Val! Service was also excellent for both meals. Jennifer was just great! Got me whatever I needed. A great conversationalist too, made me feel right at home dining by myself. The cooks and servers go above and beyond here. I can't wait to come back!“

“Mark and Diane made our dining experience so wonderful. And we heard from one of the chefs—came to Our table to make sure all Was well Such a wonderful evening“

“Thank you SO MUCH to Thomas and Jenn for making the reunion for Rockledge High Class of 1984 a raging success!!! The wait staff was phenomenal and took great care of us! THE FOOD WAS PHENOMENAL, as always! This is not our first class event here and it won’t be the last! THANK YOU TWISTED BIRCH!!“

“I haven't gone in awhile. But since they decided to keep current designs and not change. I decided to go back. Don't care for the new menu. But food was good.“

“Overpriced ($20 breakfast tiny buffet) but a clean solid corporate option with clean bathrooms and nice staff. No beachfront view from restaurant. Free parking.

I like this because the private places always mess up something (service, temp, ambiance, food, hospitality) This place is decent for all of that except food quality and is consistent. You can walk outside here to the beach when done also without the typical bar crowd. If you don’t mind a bland, stale corporate breakfast, this place is the spot.“

“1st time ordering. I don't look at reviews until after or during the meal. This is why. Not sure why so many bad reviews. Everything we ordered was delicious. Sauce on the side so meat was cooked good. Boom Boom sauce is great. Extra sauces were tasty too, so will try more flavors everytime. Will definitely order from here again an again. ?“

“It's a family friendly place . The food is amazing and Brielle are waitress was friendly and has a great sense of humor. I had my wife looking for a pine float on the menu and she couldn't find it so I got up and got a toothpick. Then she got to enjoy her first pine float . We spoke with Mrs. Jane who works here and has been at many of the friendly's locations. She is one of the nicest lady's we spoke to all day . And one other thing this place is 1000 time's better than steak & shake . They don't have waitresses and you have to order your food from some stupid kiosk machines. So in all it's a two thumbs up for friendly's . From my Wife and I . Happy wife happy life . Anyway they have amazing deserts to.“

“This restaurant inside the Doubletree always has a great breakfast—and it’s not just for hotel guests. Even as locals, myself and my parents dine here frequently. Their breakfast buffet has a great selection at a good price. Jenna, Anthony, Manny, and the whole crew here are always very accommodating. Check them out!“

“Great food and service. Curder burger was awesome!!!!“

“Had a great lunch the cheese burger was excellent also the crah cake,great service and very friendly.“

“While the food & drink are always fantastic, our favorite server Nina always goes above and beyond to ensure we have a great experience! Thank you to Nina and the entire Beef’s team for always making our family dinners a blast! Can’t wait to visit again!“

“Family enjoyed a delicious meal on our way to cocoa village. Great service and even better food. The poke nachos are delicious!“

“Great food fast. My daughter and I come eat breakfast here every Sunday“

“Ate here this morning and we are extremely happy. Can't wait to come back for breakfast! Best place around. Great crispy thick bacon, xtra crispy home fries and butter toasted English muffin. Husband had a great omelette. Can't wait to try other dishes here in the near future. Service is awesome!“
