50 Best American Restaurants near Viera

“Yesterday my husband and I went with friends for an early dinner to celebrate Veterans Day. Chilis supplied a very nice free meal for our husbands. When we went to pay our bill, our waitress said some nice couple had already paid it for us...So nice that people still appreciate our veterans. Thanks so much to that generous couple, and thanks also to Chili's for appreciating our veterans.“

“Since discovering a gluten intolerance, this was my first experience dining out. I asked Krystle about gluten free options, and she brought me literature pertaining to all their allergens. I also have an allergy to raw carrots and celery (not very common). The manager Caroline personally brought my food out, and individual portions of blue cheese, to ensure that they were not touched by either carrots or celery. I must say, as someone with food allergies/intolerances, they did a fantastic job all the way around.“

“My wife and I have always enjoyed eating at Steak 'n Shake. We recently went there after they have made some good changes. Now, you order on kiosks and then they call you when your food is ready. We like it even better now. Do not go there without getting a milkshake. They are fabulous.“

“Crackers Island Grille- Cape Canaveral- 3-stars "Flawless execution will trump low-quality ingredients every time." -- The Big Boy "Where will I lunch today?", was my thought as I grabbed my random restaurant generator and headed towards the BBDO mobile. As the name scrawled across my screen, I saw I was heading up the coast to Cracker's Island Grille. Taking my time and enjoying the drive, I had time to reflect a bit on my job. Since I started this over two years ago, BBDO has grown by leaps and bounds topping out at over 14K followers across social media. I am extremely humbled by this and it steels me to continue forward. My GPS told me I had arrived and I found myself in front of a strip mall 1 mile north of the famous Ron Jon's Surf Shop and across from Golf N Gator. I arrived in the BBDO mobile at precisely 11:15 AM and the place was busy. Awaiting my turn, I glanced about the place and was quite taken in by the decor. They have a nice little island/surf theme going and this contributed to a very relaxed atmosphere. After a short wait, I was shown a table, handed a menu and told my server would be right with me. As packed as they were, I wondered what exactly that meant. It wasn't too long before a server approached my table and introduced herself as Brittany. Brittany was very prompt, charming and had our drink order back in no time at all. Along with the drink order, I also requested the Bouillabaisse and one order of the special of the day, Gator tacos (wondering if the meat was fresh based on the proximity of Golf N Gator). Brittany assured me this was not the case. I was sure this made the animal rights people happy, however, I was not. I have to say that first of all, Cracker's Bouillabaisse looked better on the menu than it did in front of me (see pictures for comparison). But, the smells wafting up were pure gourmand nirvana. With just the right amount of heat and all the seafood one could want, the flavors were complex, tantalizing and just a tad hot on the palate. The seafood seemed low quality (frozen, not fresh), but the execution was performed well. The accompanying bread was warm and slathered in garlic butter that added a nice compliment to the seafood stew. Dying to try something I never have before, I eagerly dug into the Gator tacos next. Wow. That is my professional opinion of these delightful tacos. Just, wow. Served on warm flour tortillas with fresh-cut tomatoes and cooked to perfection they were absolutely as delicious as they were unique. The meat was tender, juicy and extremely flavorful. The seasoning really got my taste buds dancing and there was just enough heat to make sure they were not only awake but stayed that way for the duration. The Gator tacos alone were worth the drive up the coast. Not that one needs an excuse for that. As I am sure my loyal readers know, I firmly believe that the only thing that matters in regards to a successful slop house and one that fails is execution, not location, not parking, not service, not interior design (though those all certainly help). If the food is good, as I've said before, you could open a food shack in the middle of the Okefenokee Swamp and people would flock to it. Make no mistake about it, Cracker's is not a fine dining establishment, they use low-quality ingredients, but man oh man you can tell the chef/cook cares about what is slung forth from his kitchen. The execution of all the items I had was done flawlessly, and everything was delicious, especially the Gator Tacos, those were unreal, proving once again what I've said ad nauseum, execution, execution, execution! The Big Boy says, "when in the area and in the mood for some cheap eats and seafood, head on over to Cracker's Island Grille, you won't be disappointed!" #iamthebigboy #bigboydiningout“

“Whenever we visit the beach on vacation, we stop here, and I will say that the customer service, vibe, and food is always 10/10. We hadn't been in 3 years until a few days ago, and it was still the same. I would definitely recommend if you're looking for good seafood, appetizers, and sides that are made from scratch and not processed 🤣. I would highly recommend it. The staff make it even more pleasant to eat there. They always smile and constantly check on you to make sure that your family is great.“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“We had an amazing brunch for Mothers Day! 11 of us and everyone loved their food and service was great!“

“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!“

“We found this little place today and we stopped there it was so good my husband had the chicken pot pie which he said was excellent and I had the salmon it was so good we can't wait to go back we're from Vero Beach and we grew up in Eau Gallie was the best ever service was good and the food stayed hot the whole time we were eating it you don't find that too often we love it and we will be back I give it five stars on everything“

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at Pub Americana, and I must say, it was an exceptional experience. I ordered the French Burger, which was absolutely amazing. The combination of caramelized onions and goat cheese created a rich and flavorful profile that I couldn't get enough of.

My wife opted for the Hangover Burger, and she was equally impressed. It featured a fried egg, bacon, and a delightful avocado aioli that elevated the dish to another level. She remarked on how good it was, and I couldn't agree more.

Our friends mentioned that they make all of their burger patties in-house, and if that's true, you can really tell! The meat in both burgers was incredibly tender and flavorful, showcasing the quality of their ingredients.

To top it all off, we enjoyed parmesan fries served with a jalapeño ranch on the side. This unique spin on the classic fries added a delicious twist that complemented our meals perfectly.

Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed the food and the atmosphere at Pub Americana. I will definitely be going back for more!“

“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!“

“The Times Square Diner is my favorite place. The food is delicious and the portions are huge. The owners and staff are amazing and make the dining experience fun!“

“Known Dylan for a long time. Great food Awesome service“

“We just went for the first time and will definitely be back. The food was superb, the staff outstanding and we met Shawn one of the owners and he is great. We will be telling all our friends and look forward to future visits!!! Thanks for a great dinner. Rick and Rae“

“Mcnally was a wonderful waitress!!“

“Matt was incredible. He brought me 3 frosted mug rootbeers and hot food. What else could I ask for. Oh wait, I got the cookie, ice cream dessert so now I am ready to roll right out of here and I believe Matt would help if necessary! Love this place!“

“The prime rib sandwich was great!“

“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.“

“My favorite course to play when I’m back home“

“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!!“

“Ordered steak and eggs for breakfast, the 5 ounce NY strip was not great, the eggs weren't bad, hard to mess up fried eggs too much, the breakfast potatoes were the best part of the meal. The bartender discounted the meal as the steak wasn't the best. Gave them another shot a few days later and the omelet plate definitely made up for the steak.“

“We went here for the second time just to give them another chance and good thing we did! I ordered the Philly cheese steak with French fries and my friend ordered the bacon cheeseburger with French fries and let me just say, I haven't had that good of a philly cheese steak in a very long time. The French fries were delicious as well. Nice and crispy and stayed crispy even when they got a little cold. My friend said the bacon cheeseburger was delicious as well. Cooked to perfection. Definitely recommend this place.“

“The food was absolutely amazing! It was hot, fresh and well presented. I had the Lobster grilled cheese and my wife and daughter had the chicken fingers. The staff were friendly and timely, constantly he king in to make sure all was well and if we needed anything. The atmosphere has always been awesome, exceptional view, and a clean and bright layout. We really enjoyed our dinner there this evening and look forward to dining there again.“

“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!“

“oday I had breakfast at My Island Pancake House in Rockledge, Fl. My meal was terrific! The server (Rachelle) was excellent! Service with a smile, and very helpful with menu questions. She should be running the restaurant! A must stop if you are anywhere near Rockledge, Fl.... You will not be disappointed!“

“I walked into the restaurant having one of those days where nothing seemed to be going right. From the moment my server, Autumn, greeted me, everything turned around. Her positive attitude, excellent service, and uplifting spirit transformed my bad day into a great one. I’m truly grateful — thank you, Autumn!“

“The owner Raul gave us a warm greeting upon arriving Our waitress Cristina made sure we had everything we needed checked on us after our food came making suresure are order was correct. We love going here the food is delicious and atmosphere is friendly. Highly recommend!!!“

“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 😉“

“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.“

“Had a lovely meal at Longboard’s after a few hours at Cocoa Beach. Our fabulous hostess Taneisha said they had the best key lime pie in Cocoa Beach and I have to say she was not wrong. Great stuff! And Taneisha was extraordinary! Thanks so much and we will return.“
