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!“

“Delicious and excellent service! One of our favorites! It’s a treasure! and open later than most Vero restaurants!“

“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!“

“Simply the best!! Betty the cook is the best“

“We always look forward to a nice prime rib always cooked to perfection. They’re the best in town by far, hands-down best in the area. We always look forward to going there. Their salads are great. They’re baked potatoes are delicious. Need I go on? It’s fun to watch the planes coming and going. it’s just a fun time.“

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

“We had yet another great experience dining at Tradewinds 41, this time we brought in a larger group, and everything from the service to the food was amazing. Greg took excellent care of us throughout the night, he was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu. The managers were also very present, stopping by to check in and making sure everything was running smoothly, and were great to chat to, which really elevated the experience. We started with a variety of appetizers and honestly couldn’t pick a favorite. They have a new octopus appetizer and it's so good! It had a perfect texture with just the right amount of spice, the chipotle flavor is my new favorite, and the tuna ceviche had a great balance of flavors with a subtle coconut hint. The beef tartare was flavorful, well-textured, and a generous portion, and the lobster tempura was a big hit as well. For entrees, everything continued to impress. The snapper with coconut turmeric sauce was incredible, again. It is my favorite, and the sauce is so good I could have had a bowl of it, I always ask for an extra side. I don't have a nice photo of it because I immediately slathered it in the coco sauce and started inhaling it. My husband had the wood-grilled lobster and it was perfectly done, and the warm potato salad was so good, I asked to try a bite and ended up taking four more bites when he wasn't looking. One of our friends had the salmon, it was beautifully prepared with a great sauce, and the zucchini noodles were cooked perfectly, she couldn't stop raving about it. The scallops were another highlight, especially paired with the eel butter and serrano peppers, our guest loved them so much, I think I'll order them next time! The blackened mahi sandwich was also a favorite, two in our group ordered it, and the huge portion and perfectly seasoned fish was something they said they want to come back specifically for. We finished with dessert, and both options were fantastic. The lava cake with gelato and marshmallows was the greatest ever, and our friends said the lavender crème brûlée had just the right amount of lavender without being overpowering. I've never seen dessert disappear so fast from a group of allegedly "full" people. Overall, a fantastic night with great food, great service, and a team that clearly cares about the guest experience. We’ll definitely be back again!“

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

“Cafe 66 — A True Local Gem!

Cafe 66 is a wonderful local diner where you can get a great meal without breaking the bank. From delicious French toast and eggs to bacon, sausage, and biscuits and gravy, there’s something for everyone!

What really makes this place special is the amazing staff. Many of them have been there since day one, and you can tell they truly love what they do. They know their regular customers by name, making everyone feel welcome and appreciated.

As soon as you walk through the door, you get that feeling that you’re somewhere special. It’s the kind of place where the food is good, the prices are reasonable, and the people make you feel right at home.

Cafe 66 isn’t just a diner — it’s a place with heart, great people, and a welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommend!“

“Its a beautiful restaurant, well decorated and well staffed. Everyone was pleasant and very accommodating. I was surprised at the prices being so reasonable with it being a Disney property and restaurant. That being said, I was disappointed with the food quality. The scrambled eggs tasted like something I would find at a buffet, very low quality and tasteless. The key lime waffles were also tasteless. What I found interesting is that the raspberry drizzle that they use on top seems to have dried berries instead of real fruit. Very disappointing considering there is not another breakfast spot around for miles so eating in is the only feasible option.“

“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?“

“Great fresh cooked to order“

“Oysters garlic ,cheese & toasted baguette 'delicious“

“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.“

“🧜‍♀️✨ 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“

“We had our company Holiday party at Post & Vine! Every single thing was amazing!! Food was fantastic, the signature drinks they created were so fun and delicious! The staff was phenomenal! Thank you so much for making our event so awesome. Can’t wait for next year!!“

“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“

“Tried Italian subs. very fresh bread & toppings. Lots of meat. Absolutely perfect!“

“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…“

“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? 🏄‍♀️🎨“

“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!“

“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“

“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“

“After living in Vero Beach for nearly 3 years I really REGRET not coming here sooner. The food is absolutely sublime! The atmosphere for a date night was just perfect. After a long day of preparation for Easter for 3 daughters we needed a moment for us, before the next days celebration. We had the back room to ourselves and it was just perfect. I just had to say, my husband loves to cook for me, especially short ribs and a beautiful brown sauce and he is amazing at it. Well, this blew him and I both away. Also, the skewers were something out of this world. There is an article about them in Vero Mag. This place is a secret we want to keep to ourselves but a place with this much talent is meant to be celebrated. Ohhh and the Short Rib Rangoons! Thank you curfew for giving to very busy parents a couple hours to just connect and enjoy a wonderful place. We cannot wait to come back again. We had Short Rib Rangoon, Bubbly Crab & Artichoke Dip, steak skewer, Deviled Eggs, & a main Short Rib, Mashed Potatoes, Roasted Vegetables, Curfew Gravy.“

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

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

Beautiful walk afterwards.. 5 plus stars ⭐️“

“Not only is the food outstanding. The staff is wonderful. We were there during an afternoon down pour. We watch the pool staff work as a well oiled team moving people indoors and securing the pool area. It was so well coordinated it looked like a scene out of a choreographed play. Inside staff equally on board handling newcomers. Our favorite waitress, Trina and manager Meagan were keeping a rainy afternoon upbeat and enjoyable.“

“Great family like environment. The food and service is always good!“

“Staff was very nice, helpful and polite. We did not order food because we went after we had a dinner elsewhere.

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

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

“awesome Service.. Shot out to Dylan out server... Food was great“

“Planning a trip to Florida? Include American Icon Brewery in Vero Beach in your itinerary. Their beer options are extensive and diverse. The fish and chips were impeccable, impressing us immensely! We grant this establishment 5 thumbs up. 👍👍👍👍👍“

“Everything about this place is phenomenal. But what blows it out of the park is our server Toni. She was so spot on we went back a couple nights just to have her as our waitress. She remembered our drink orders from the first night, she was attentive, refilled our water without us asking, refilling soda without asking, just SPOT ON. Knew about everything on the menu. Recommended all the right dishes and pairings. Food was so good! Desert was good! Cocktails were good! But Toni was the best! Ask for Toni when you go and you will not be let down. She is 100% a benefit to that restaurant and deserves tons of recognition .“

“High quality fine dining in a semi speakeasy spot. In a Winn Dixie parking lot under a sign that reads diner we had the most fantastic meal! We ordered the ahi tuna app, sea bass with ferro and wild mushrooms, and the most tender pork ribeye. Everything was exceptional!“

“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 !!

“Great food, view, and beverages“

“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!“

“Amazing environment. Sunday (bartender), Bri (also a bartender), and the bouncers Nick and Austin deserve special praises for their work and making my friends and I feel at home. The drinks are great and fairly priced and the local patrons are a hoot to drink with! 10000/10 definitely recommend.“

“We frequent this IHOP in Vero Beach. Food is always good, my favorite is the patty melt. Soooo good. Please keep this on your menu!! Our server was Debbie, quite a nice gal, very pleasant and attentive. Will return again! Thank you Debbie!!“

“Just okay.“

“The food and service was PHENOMENAL my server Ella was very attentive and had such a great personality!! The view was also amazing and the manger Ankush made sure everything was perfect for us it was my first time here and I will definitely be coming back!!“

“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 ❣️“

“Yummy and delicious as always“
