“Wonderful delight on the beach Run by county Parks and Recreation. Great food, service and atmosphere. Would go weekly if I lived here. Server Ruth was a delight.“

“I stopped off at a Local Restaurant in downtown Stuart Called The Gafford and this is there story. Elizabeth and I were very excited to open our restaurant in Downtown Stuart. After years of visiting our parents, our hearts led us back here each time we considered a different location. Our son Taylor (our Executive Chef) and I, both have a culinary education and all three of us are extremely passionate about quality food, drinks and hospitality. We thoroughly enjoy taking great care of our guests. “the Gafford” is named after my grandparents who taught us how to enjoy life, have fun and laugh (especially at ourselves). My grandfather was in the Air Force and hospitality business all of his life and taught me so much about business, cooking and hospitality. He never met a stranger and always had a great story to tell. I can remember when I was young visiting my grandparents on their farm. My grandfather used to teach me how to grill. My favorite dish to cook together was a giant Ribeye steak. On our menu, that is our signature item and we call it “the Gafford.” It’s an 18 oz. bone-in Angus Cowboy cut Ribeye, just like when I was young. My mother and grandmother gave me my tenacity and work ethic; they were great role models and taught me the importance of having high standards and being fair with everyone. In my 30 + years in the restaurant business I’ve learned that the most important part of business is people. My goal is to take great care of my staff and you as my guest. Elizabeth, Taylor and I hope that you’ll come see us and give us the chance to show you our Southern Hospitality. I started with a glass of freshly brewed Sweet Iced Tea. Look at how beautifully dark and rich the flavor of that tea was awesome. It hit the spot for me. My server Abigail was prompt and super friendly. She was on top of her A game tonight covering a lot of tables and didn't miss a beat. I ordered the Gafford. Look it up on the main menu. This is a 20 full ounce bone in Ribeye. It came with a homemade from scratch Mac & Cheese and Green Beans. NOW, they change up the Mac & Cheese from time to time and tonight I got a spicy one. (Now to be fair here I'm not one for very spicy food. So, to be fair on my scale from 1-10 this was a 7-8. But for a person who normally eats spicy stuff I'm going to guess around a 2-3ish.) So, as you can see, I couldn't finish it. TOO HOT for me. But the flavor was very good. The meat was cooked to Medium, and it was right on the money. Thanks to Chef Taylor and his talented crew. The unsung heroes of this fine establishment as well. I also know that everyone's preferences are different when it comes to Steak tenderness. I like my Ribeye firm not mushy overly tenderized. This was nice and firm, not chewy in my book. To me it was perfect. As you can see in the photos that I took the meat was a nice light pink in the middle perfect Medium for me. I hope you all enjoy the photos and the short video to kind of give you a feel for The Gafford. I give this place 10 out of 5 stars! Plan to come down here and visit this family-owned business.“

“We always love coming here this is our go to place when we don’t know what we want to eat. Everything from the service to the food is amazing - a bit dark inside but that’s what a pub is like! Get the raspberry chipotle wings, you won’t be disappointed! A great place to go, listen to live music and watch the game.“

“Found Alice’s by accident. Best accident I ever had. Good food, great service and friendly place. Owners are awesome! Now the waitress Jamie or Sara or whatever she lied about. SUPER! Can’t miss at Alice’s. Very reasonably priced. Can’t wait to go back“

“Great service and views! food was good as well“

“A great place food is consistently good have not had anything yet that was not been delicious you can have breakfast or lunch I like that they offer special s each day. The wait staff are really great and attentive and friendly highly recommend“

“My wife and I just had the privilege to enjoy dinner at the District Table. She ordered the Summer menu deal where she received a salad , appetizer, main course, and dessert. Her main course was belly steak with chimichurri. The chimichurri could not have been more fresh and bright flavored. The steak was tender and full of remarkable flavor. My main course was the chili rellenos. This dish was not a typical Hispanic type dish, other than the chilis. It was more of an Indian dish flavored with curry, cardamom, tarragon, etc. When I say this was a top 10 meal, I literally mean a top 10 for my entire life. We’ve travelled the country and all over Europe and I will stand by the “top 10” designation. Oh my God, people. I know their menu changes regularly but I wish it could be a staple. I was in heaven. I virtually never talk to the chef but I could not stop myself. I HAD to express my appreciation for the culinary experience he and his staff just provided. Taylor- if you’re reading this…you’re a food wizard. I can’t thank you enough for what we just ate. I’m leaving out many amazing details of our dinner- from the outstanding service, to the remarkable dessert and, surprisingly cheap, happy-hour margaritas. Wow. Just: wow. Triple A plus experience. I couldn’t recommend the District Table any more highly.“

“City Diner has fantastic food! The staff is always friendly and welcoming. They are amazing supporters of their community. Everyone should support them!“

“I've gone to Maria's for years. Food is, in my opinion, fantastic... although I'm not crazy about the beets either.. the fruit is awesome.. Go to a medium small place like this on the weekend with a large group and you'll 'always' have to wait or go to McDonald's for 'fast food'. Service is, for me, very good to excellent. I'm not affiliated with Maria's in any way and recommend it to most everyone..“

“Honestly, not bad for what it is: a place to eat when you’re hanging out by a beautiful pool. They’re doing some renovations so things are a little aesthetically subpar for now but it’s totally fine. We experienced plenty of seating and a pleasant waiter who is helpful. The prices are elevated for what you’re getting, but we got the quesadillas and chips/salsa which were, again, not bad! I can imagine that trying to feed a family would be very expensive, but there are only two of us and we paid about $30 including the tip.“

“I was reading the reviews...Open Table Diner gave Talk:House 2 stars because it was and older crowd....SERIOUSLY???? We just got home from enjoying one of the best dinners we've had in a while. Now, I'm a liver and onions type of guy, well, they had the best liver and onions that I've ever had. Cooked just the way you want it, AND a huge portion! We went and it was early bird special time. We thought that the portions were going to be a little less then the regular menu....WRONG!!!! HUGE portions of liver, bacon, onions, beans, broccoli and asparagus along with a nice garden salad, top off with a wonderful cheesecake. 2 Thumbs up!! Going back!“

“The food and service here are always top notch. I would go back again and again“

“Had great service from Ashley and Kate. Didn't have to ask for anything before it was brought to us. Anticipating needs is a sign of great waitstaff.We had the hummus platter, the Cavatappi pasta, and the cheesecake. All were delicious!“

“Stephanie was excellent at downtown Stuart location!!!❤️❤️❤️“

“Jen was a great server! I’d love her to be our server again!“

“We live in Stuart,Fl and frequent Cracker Barrel often. The store is always freezing cold and bring it to management is fruitless. They say cold temps are required by corporate. Even when rainy outside and wetted from the run in from the parking lot corporate wants it cold inside. Nuts, customers are all jackets and sweaters and the biggest issue is the food gets cold. This is the worst. Resent news proves that Cracker Barrel is not trying to make the customer happy. What seems to be important is some selfish idea from someone sitting in corporate office.“

“Chef’s table was amazing. Everything we ate was some of the best I have ever had. The atmosphere was totally on point and the staff incredible. This is totally a hidden gem in Martin County.“

“We had our rehearsal dinner at Hustons on the River Nov. 13th and I can't express enough how phenomenal the entire evening was, thanks to the entire team. From the moment we booked, the Manager Brody was incredibly helpful, and that attentiveness continued on the night itself. Joey and his Team of Server's was fantastic—they were all knowledgeable about the menu, made excellent recommendations, and kept our glasses full without ever being overbearing. The food was absolutely outstanding. Everyone commented on how delicious everything was, from the appetizers to the main courses. What made the night truly special, though, was the service and the atmosphere. The staff handled every request with a smile and made our family and closet friends feel so welcomed. We had a special dining area set up for us, which created the perfect setting for celebrating. Thank you Brody and Hustons on the River for making our rehearsal dinner an unforgettable night!“

“Stephanie was excellent at downtown Stuart location!!!❤️❤️❤️“

“Friendly place wings are awesome“

“Hello everyone today I tried the wings and fries here and the food was so delicious. I got the honey garlic wings. They were really hot and crispy. I highly recommend you check them out.“

“Fun atmosphere great fried fish sandwich“

“Every time I call they’re always slammed and that’s a good thing. The food is quality people are awesome this morning. I was using Uber Eats and I saw my favorite item was not on the app so I decided to call and spoke to a lovely lady named Ashlee she was able to help me straighten that up and say yes it’s still available and she was able to talk to the kitchen staff get that adjusted for me.“

“Great food, awesome staff, and charming atmosphere. This is our go-to diner in Martin county. best steak n eggs in town. Ask for their homemade salsa, it's fantastic.“

“Always a pleasure. We’ve been several times and never had a bad meal. Service is always great!“

“Great place, nice people and great food. Add the fact that it's the home of the Stuart Bills Backers and the serve Beef on Weck. What more could you ask“

“Their homemade soup never disappoints and such a big variety. Everything they make is delicious and very generous with servings!“

“Highly recommended !!! Great food and a excellent staff !!!“

“A special place. We loved everything about this quaint little restaurant. The food, the atmosphere and wait staff were all exceptional! We will be returning soon!“

“We chose to venture off road during a southbound trip to the Everglades and went to Flanigan’s in Stuart, FL. Well worth the trip! The atmosphere was fun! Decorated in St Patty’s day style (but I am not sure if that was for the actual holiday - which was days away - or year round) is high was great! It smelled like a tavern & food as soon as we entered. Actually liked that! Our server, Mel, was great and the food was fantastic. Between the four of us, we tried their ribs, strip steak, dolphin sandwich (Mahi Mahi) and shrimp. Every plate was delicious! Beat coleslaw too! HIGHLY recommend!“

“Beautiful from the parking lot in! Stuart was showing off for sure! The Staff was super attentive and helpful. Amazing location for a fun group outing or family time! Not a huge golfer? Not a problem! They had fun (and easier) games to play, Angry Birds and a preschool looking fishing game, which all the adults I was with loved playing!“

“Great service and staff!!!! 10/10“

“Tucked away in Stuart, the Diamond Tea Room & Bistro is a delightful hidden gem (pun intended!) that feels like stepping into your favorite aunt's charming dining room. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted by an adorable interior adorned with whimsical tea pots and an unexpected abundance of ladybug decorations that instantly bring a smile to your face.
The menu is impressively extensive, offering something for every palate, but their butternut squash soup is truly the star of the show. Creamy, velvety, and perfectly seasoned, it's the kind of dish that warms you from the inside out - ideal for a cozy lunch or light dinner.
What makes this bistro special is its welcoming atmosphere, making it an ideal spot for celebrating life's milestones. Whether you're marking a birthday, anniversary, or simply enjoying a leisurely afternoon, the staff ensures you feel right at home.
Price-wise, you're looking at about $20-$30 per person, which feels reasonable given the quality of food and charming environment. It's not going to break the bank, but it's definitely a step above your average cafe.
For anyone seeking a quaint American dining experience with character and delicious food, Diamond Tea Room & Bistro is a must-visit. Just be prepared to fall in love with their adorable ladybug decor and that incredible butternut squash soup!
Call ahead for reservations, especially if you want to order the the High Tea.“

“As always amazing views and food. Allie our server was wonderful- Maria the manager is very attentive. Highly recommend“

“Best lunch in Downtown Stuart!! And excellent service!“

“Great customer service and nice atmosphere fast“

“I have been going to shrimpers for many years. This was my second bad experience. Tonight we waited for our meal for over 1 hour. We told the waitress that we were going to leave because of this. The manager then came and stated that the meal would be ready in 90 seconds because it still needed to “bake”. We were done and fed up. We told him that we were leaving and to not charge us for the meal. He did not charge us for the meal but did not apologize or show us any quality customer service. I was very disappointed. It was our mother’s birthday and we were trying to celebrate this special day with her.“

“Delicious burger everytime!!!“

“A random person told me about this restaurant that has the best Philly cheesesteaks. We decided to try it when my parents were in town and it is fantastic. The steak Philly with everything on it was delicious, my chicken Philly was perfect for me and the Patty Melt was great too.
The fries were wonderful. Looking forward to coming back.“

“Love the environment. The food is great and the people are awesome. Have met very good people definitely to place to be.“

“The best tuna melt ever!!!!!!“

“Great friendly staff, Good food, nice Happy Hour, great views. Live music Friday, Saturday, & Sunday. Check out the daily specials!“

“We had Todd as our server on a busy Sunday morning. He was absolutely phenomenal! We could also overhear him serving other customers, including large parties with kids - and he handled the kiddos and their special requests like a pro. For a quick and easy breakfast, I highly recommend!“

“Great service and food. We enjoyed it“

“Sn’S is like Five Guys Ancestors opened a place to show ‘em how it’s done. I love burgers yet rarely finish one anymore. I rarely overindulge yet I am still thinking about this burger… I finished…looking for more.

I was not optimistic about this place and grateful that my friend Michael was hangry cause Steven & I were not feeling optimistic and Tim, well he had no opinion or at least was too scared to share it.

Anyway, I am grateful for the impacts of hangry cause we thought we settled on Sn’S and got the best semi-fast burger of my pretty long life. :)“
