50 Best American Restaurants in Vero Beach

“We had a fantastic time at The Tides celebrating my husband’s birthday! He loved his blackened mahi, which was perfectly cooked and served with mashed potatoes, green beans, and carrots. Krystina and I enjoyed the peppercorn filet topped with melted Gorgonzola and crispy shallots, paired with veggies. Our daughter, Maiya, also enjoyed her chicken tenders and fries. The baked oysters and ahi tuna nachos were the highlights of the appetizers. Our server, Robert, was attentive and friendly, making the night truly special. It was a memorable evening filled with great food and service!“

“Great food along with good selection of wine.“

“My wife and I finally made it to the Dinner Revolution, and honestly, I don’t know why we waited so long to try this amazing place! From the moment we walked in, we were met with such warm hospitality. Once we were seated, our waitress was super quick and really friendly. The meals were not only fresh and creative but also absolutely delicious. Overall, our experience was fantastic, and we can’t wait to go back again soon. A special shoutout to our waitress Jocelyn, who made everything even better with her professionalism and kindness! I posted a photo of their lemon bars. 😋“

“How charming is this diner? Mrs. Mac's Fillin' Station provides an amazing and fun dining experience. What a great atmosphere filled with vintage automobile decor. Every detail in this establishment transports you back in time, right down to the staff wearing overalls and their attentiveness. The menus, made of license plates, offer a great selection of uniquely named foods, all cooked to order. May I mention that they have the best homemade biscuits? We are looking forward to returning and trying out more of their homemade options.“

“I was there on opening day, and had another amazing burger today! I’m a Flight Attendant who grew up living on the beachside of Vero! Casey’s was our place! I no longer live in Vero but …Today I had a rare layover in Melbourne, so I rented a car, drove to my hometown and drove straight to Casey’s for lunch! It was, Amazing as ALWAYS! Worth the $90 to rent the car??? ABSOLUTELY! Thanks for the memories, the great food, and awesome service!“

“The food was incredible, service was on point, drinks were not watered down, cost was a bargain, will be going back for sure… Barry“

“We had a fantastic dinner last night! 2 of us had scallops (best they’d ever had), one had the pork chop that was delicious and the 4th had the shrimp dish. The lemon crème brûlée was amazing! We will definitely come back often?“

“Love this place. Food is made fresh from scratch, delicious, and the servers are very pleasant. Favorite for breakfast.“

“Delicious Food Generous servings Very friendly atmosphere service: “friendly smiles” You must order the French Fries“

“The host couldnt make up his mind where to seat us and mumbled to himself. Just make a decision please.
Was told to come here because the chef comes to the tables to discuss any orders. I have celiac (gluten free).
That didnt happen.
Asked waiter if something was gluten free. He came back and said no....but didnt offer any alternatives. Didnt think ahead.

Pork chop was good though....especially the bacon jam.

Asked what kind of gf bread they served me since it wasnt bad...he forgot to find out.

Needs more attention to detail“

“This place is now called Mangrove Sands. It is part of the golf clubhouse
It appears that they will be updating a lot of the facilities. We stopped for beverages only. There's a lot of Tvs for sports and live music on the weekends. They have a full bar with limited draft beers. The bar is right on the golf course.“

“Great fresh cooked to order“

“Just had dinner at Toojays Vero Beach! The food was great but Barbara, our server, was fantastic ? She went out of her way to ensure that we enjoyed our meal, substituting cold slaw for fresh fruit & refilled our coffee twice?“

“My friend and I had lunch at Waldo’s while in town and were so happy to have Heidi serving us, as she was our server 2 years ago when we were in Vero. She makes dining so fun ( and the table beside us agreed) and she is so knowledgeable. She suggested lunch items that were away from my norm, but she was spot on.“

“I enjoy the food and service at cracker barrel the people are genuine nice people I have had over 25 years of being spoiled at the cracker barrel in Vero Beach and have been treated like royalty excellent food and service“

“My family and I absolutely love coming here for breakfast. The food is always superb and so is the service. Sarah has always been our server and she is just top teir and on top of everything! She never misses a beat and it really has just sealed the deal for us. The cowboy breakfast is my favorite. I crave this dang meal ALLLLL THE TIME now! And if you’re a pancake person, do not miss out on the best in vero!!!!!

I would give this place 1000000 stars if I could.“

“Michelle K. Is an EXCELLENT waitress who remembers customers and greets them with a smile. She even remembers our favorite dishes. Food is served quickly and tastes good! Love their rewards program too!n“

“An amazing experience! The dining room was freezing, which forced us outside where it was warmer. An Event next store created an amazing ambiance with great music. The food was amazing, scallops and tuna slaw dishes. Cobalt never seems to disappoint! Another great experience!“

“Maison Martinique Restaurant- Vero Beach-3.5-Stars "Too many people eat just to consume calories. Try dining for a change." -- J. Walters Located within the luxurious Caribbean Court Boutique Resort is where one will find Maison Martinique. This almost hidden gem offers al fresco dining as well as three dining rooms within, so grabbing a table should not be a problem. However, as it is situated within the aforementioned Resort, calling ahead for a reservation wouldn't be a bad idea. As I did not, I was thankful for the ample seating and was lead to a vacant table almost immediately. Perusing the menu, I must say that I was highly impressed with the offerings and could only hope they tasted as good as they read. Suddenly, an odd idea popped into my head. Why not order all the specials off the menu today instead of flinging darts and ordering what they land on? As soon as I had this thought, my server, Aubrey appeared table side and inquired as to my readiness to order. I let it be known that I was indeed ready and asked for a Glenlivet neat*(side o'rocks) to get the ball rolling and then the specials of the day. Aubrey told me I couldn't go wrong with that choice and to that end put in an order for Curry Lamb Soup, one Goat Cheese Bake and one Bombay Sapphire Martini to wash it all down. Aubrey soon returned with my Scotch and what a Scotch it was. Just look at that picture. That had to be a 3.5 oz pour or I'm not the Big Boy (love you, Aubrey)!! I was about halfway through the Single Malt Nectar of the Gods when Aubrey set my food before me. Take a minute and glance at the rest of the pictures. As one can see, the presentation was stunning. If the food was as good as it read, looked and smelled I was in for yet another gastronomical treat in the burgeoning haute cuisine scene of Vero Beach. Let the festivities begin! I was told by a chef in Vero Beach that the bread should set the standard for the rest of the meal as it is the first sampling from the kitchen the customer experiences. This bread, as one can clearly see, was indeed baked on site. However, I have a sneaky feeling (due to taste and consistency) that is was baked from pre-made, frozen dough. While it tasted fine, it didn't hit the table running, so to speak. So far, so meh. As I could smell the curry lightly wafting up from the soup bowl, I hungrily procured my spoon and dove in. With what I assumed were red lentils(?) and USDA prime chunks of lamb, this not only jumped over the bar set by the bread but obliterated it in the process. The curry was perfectly proportioned and in no way overwhelmed the lamb. The lamb was so tender it almost melted on the palate like so much lamb flavored butter. This dish alone is 5 stars all day, every day. Moving on to the Goat Cheese Bake, I couldn't help sneak a last smell of the soup before trading in my spoon for a fork. The Goat cheese is broiled first, then baked on a fresh crostini that was crispy and chewy. The delicious red sauce added deep rich flavor to the divinely lightly crusted goat cheese. I could eat this every night. The accompanying Lobster and Scallop baked rice was soft and flavorful, though I could swear that the seafood rested too long and slightly killed the dish. The asparagus, while cooked to veggie perfection, lacked enough seasoning. The Bombay Sapphire Martini sans blue cheese stuffed olives was still delightful and just as heavy as the Glenlivet. As I mentioned at the start, this is the first time I have ever spurned the menu to order all specials. As such, I have to give credit where credit is due and all in all this kitchen crew knows what they are doing and sling forth some excellent chow. However, with the bread being the bread that it was and the seafood over rested, I stand firmly behind my 3.5 Star rating. The Big Boy says, "For a strong drink and a Goat Cheese Bake you can eat all day, call up and reserve a table at Maison Martinique." #iamthebigboy #bigboydiningout“

“Oysters garlic ,cheese & toasted baguette 'delicious“

“Great local Cuban restaurant in a resort hotel. Started with the ham croquettes, which were quite delicious. I got the skirt steak and my wife got the pork. Both were great dishes that came with rice, perfectly seasoned black beans and plantains.. Cocktails were also well done and reasonably priced. Mike, our waiter, was excellent. He encouraged us to just take our time and enjoy our meal. His recommendations were all spot on. Never did we feel rushed. And the restaurant was packed. “

“Congratulations on yet another wonderful experience. Definately the best food and service in Vero. Thank you Maureen and staff.“

“My last review from years ago I gave them 4 stars. They have really gone downhill since then. I remembered today why we stopped going here. My wife ordered a porterhouse steak that was mostly fat and gristle, plus it had way too much salt.

I had a rack of baby back ribs that came almost room temperature and dry. I hope this will be my last visit.“

“Oh my New to town and went for Happy Hour with our Rosko… Treated him like there best friend ❤️ Food was awesome and Cold Beverages Hit the spot !!!

“I have been twice and so far, food has been delicious and reasonable in price. It is a very homey diner place without all the fancy shmancy stuff but all the flavor. The eggs Benedict, sausage and biscuits were yummy. The pecan waffle and home fries were crispy and great! Peanut butter pie? To die for!!! Definitely recommend a try!“

“🧜‍♀️✨ Raving Recommendation: The Kilted Mermaid ✨🧜‍♀️ If you’re looking for a place that actually embodies community, inclusivity, good vibes, and zero tolerance for bigotry — get yourself to The Kilted Mermaid in Vero Beach. 🌈🍻 This isn’t just a bar. It’s a safe haven, a local treasure, and a technicolor rebellion against hate in heels and a kilt. Drag shows? Yes. Live music? Yes. Eclectic art? Yes. Raging moral panic? Not welcome. While certain folks (cough Jennifer Pippin cough) are busy pearl-clutching and falsely accusing Kilted Mermaid of corrupting the youth, the rest of us are having a blast supporting small business, celebrating queer joy, and drinking craft beer with glitter in our souls. 💃 The performances are electric. 🧀 The food? Next-level grilled cheese. 🎭 The crowd? Diverse, friendly, and fiercely supportive. The Kilted Mermaid is what Florida should be — weird, welcoming, and full of heart. So whether you’re there for drag brunch, live jazz, or just to stick it to the pearl-clutching hypocrisy machine — we fully recommend it, fruit and all. 🍓🫐🍊 #FloridaFruitLoopApproved #KiltedMermaidMagic #SupportLocalLoveLoud #SatireSassAndSunshine #DragIsNotTheDanger #GoodVibesOnlyVero“

“Came in here before the beach, had the Oxtail and it was sooo good. So flavorful and fall off the bone tender. Rice and beans/cabbage was very well seasoned too. If I lived here I would come here all the time. My friends had the Jerk chicken and it was perfect. Big portions“

“Had the best little work-lunch escape at La Tabla on Royal Palm Pointe today and I can’t stop thinking about it. Such good vibes, and the food was next-level fresh. I had the ahi poke bowl (so good!) and this super refreshing avocado cucumber dill gazpacho that honestly surprised me — light, healthy, and full of flavor. What made it even better was that the owner, Santiago, took our order. He’s from Argentina and was just the kindest, most genuine person — the kind of hospitality that makes you want to come back before you’ve even left. You can really feel the love and care they pour into the place. If you’re ever in Vero and craving something fresh and healthy, definitely go check them out. 🌿 I’m already daydreaming about a possible La Tabla x surfboard collab someday… how rad would that be? 🏄‍♀️🎨“

“Great lunch. Enough for dinner also.“

“Met some of the family that owns this fantastic restaurant on Saturday night. We had a date night and dinner at the intimate small bar with Cullen (bartender). We started by sharing a bowl of Sebastian Stew one of their all-time favorite most popular dishes. Then hubby had a bacon burger and I had the stacked delicious pork sandwich with bacon, coleslaw & much more. I tried the collaboration beer made by Dogfish (Grateful Dead pale ale) which was on tap. Hubby had bottled Coors light. Bartender very friendly and attentive and proud of his family restaurant- Rightly so!! Highly recommend…“

“We just tried Curfew restaurant. The food and service was Excellent !! We definitely will return.“

“Probably not the cleanest place but the food is awesome. Let’s be honest it’s probably as clean as your kitchen.“

The waitress was still very very nice for bringing my family water.

Had a wonderful time and made memories with my family.“

“This restaurant/bar was so good we went twice during our stay in Vero beach. One of the best burgers I have ever had and the hanger steak was delicious. The bartender, Tommy and server Tony were the best. Highly recommend, can’t wait to go to Vero beach again.“

“4 out of 5 days all summer I have delivered 30 plus or minus lunches to my daughter's camp kids. Most of the meals were variety everything from chicken tenders and barbecue to mac and cheese and fruits and fries. The orders were done expeditiously and with a smile. The orders were always prompt and fresh and well received by the campers. I must say my car smelled like heaven and we'll miss this thank you very much for your professionalism and your great meals!“

“Took at chance and drive to Nettie’s the morning after hurricane Milton and not only were they open, they were working so very hard, everyone was friendly and welcoming, the food was cooked exactly as ordered, and the service was impeccable. What a wonderful place!“

“Ordered the Garlic Parmesan and the Lemon Pepper Wings and they were outstanding !! Crispy, Tasty and just the right sized, not Turkey Wing size like a lot of Wings Places serve !! Reminded me of the awesome Wings I used to get when I was in College. Will definitely be back, my new Go-To place for Wings…“

“They have a lot of variety. Food is fresh. I have my favorites that I gravitate to. Friendly and helpful customer service. Great soups, entrees, and breads. They also have desserts.“

“Nino's at 43rd Ave & Rte 60 has great (GREAT) NY style pizza and friendly professional staff. I keep meaning to try something else on their menu but the pizza is so good that's what I get (again today): crispy crust, delicious sauce and cheese. Ingredients are ALWAYS fresh. Theyre very busy at dinner time so go during the day or plan ahead so you're not waiting. Thank you to the whole staff at Nino's Corner ❣️“

“Owner and staff are great.“
