    My favorite place in Melbourne! Couldn't leave home without! Vibes , service , views , FOOD 10/10! We love every thing about BB's! We brought some friends this time and they also were very pleased! Can't wait for the next time!

    Came for brunch with a group of 3 on a Sunday and had no problems getting a table. Pros: - Views!!!! - friendly service - food was good with a good size portion ($23 for my Benedict and regular orange juice before tip) Cons: - all outdoor and no fans directed at the tables further from the main structure - water is only available in bottles that you have to pay for - limited parking in the lot (which is valet only) Overall, would def come back for the view and ambiance since it's pretty much the only spot nearby where you can sit on the beach with close food/drink service

    Hidden Gem! Located behind a small hotel, this spot was great! We sat ourselves at a table and were greeted by a really nice server named Tracy. Since it was our first time there, she explained the food and how it's cooked. Everything is basically grilled with no fried foods. We ordered crab cakes and two orders of the chicken skewers. The food was really good and nicely cooked. The hummus could've used a bit more garlic, but was fine for most. Parking was a bit scarce, but will return to try the Shrimp Tacos.

    Beach weekend!

    2nd post for this establishment, visiting beach for the weekend, all I can say, this place has its pop in a group, great food, & app's, staff is GREAT, along with the service. Right on the beach, plenty of tables & umbrella's/fans to keep the air moving. If you're in the area u gotta stop & say hi...

    The atmosphere was great!! They gave us heaters which was great!! The wait was extremely long but I chalked it up a busy night. Food was pretty good.

    Without many Beach front dining properties, I had high hopes for BB's Beach Bar. Parking is minimal and feels intrusive to guests. The bathroom is located IN the resort which is a ways away but clean. The service was slow, and on a busy day I would understand, there were only 2 other tables and 3 people at the bar. Not very friendly either but our orders were correct. Their happy hour was very reasonable and we all had wine, beer and champagne. The view is stunning! Even on a cloudy day it was beautiful. The sounds of the waves, the breeze of the ocean, and the restaurant has just enough of an enclosure to keep your comfortable. THIS is why this place will continue to operate because the food was just terrible! The oysters tasted fresh and had a large amount of saltines and sauces served with them, but I found shells in every oyster. They were shucked without care. The chicken was dry and so thin it tasted like cardboard. The tacos were covered in sauce that obviously came from a bottle and the shrimp were far from "blackened" The burger was dry as a bone! Served with chips and not fries. The feta mousse dip tasted like it was from a can opened days prior, with bland veggies but the pita was soft and warm. (The pita was the only decent thing at our table) If you are looking for a great view but hate yourself enough to spend lots of money on inedible food.. well, this place is for you! Otherwise, make a visit, have a beer, enjoy the view and leave. If you want even a mediocre meal, this is NOT the place.

    Yummy cocktails!

    Great fresh fruit, apps and the best beach ambience we've found! Server was very attentive. We've visited at least 6 times and it's always consistent good! It's always busy but seems to turn tables fast so just wait! Can't beat the beach view!!!

    Great food

    this place is absolutely amazing, directly on the beach, service and food is perfect, ambience is so relaxing. I wish we had more places like this in Florida. I love it here.

The food did not meet 5 stars. The table ordered crab cakes, crab hushpuppies and Rockefeller oysters. All were good but nothing more than 4 stars. Not quite hot enough and lacked flavor. I also ordered a chambong which was good but was not the same as I had at Shoreline in early December. In early December, the caviar included a spoon of crème freshe; however, last night was a wilted spoon of greens at best. Will I return? Yes, absolutely. I will write off last night as a slow night given it was a Tuesday evening. I wish Lawren all the best as she was a very personable server and was well prepared to get any questions answered.

I am telling you, the sauce was memorable; lighter than a pink vodka sauce, never have had this. A great combination in this very generous portion. We all enjoyed just a great cup of Decaf cofffee. Only making a fuss about this, because it was a very generous cup and the coffee was perfect. Seriously, just coffee, but tasted great. We are always glad to get here whenever we can, sometimes only a year or two but we three have been dining here for years! Never disappoints and this restaurant has some classic great tasting entrees. See the pictures I posted.

I really wasn't keen on going to an expensive Melbourne restaurant in a former Burger King but I was convinced to try it. (Let's just say -nicely- folks down here are very "accepting" of what purports to be "good food.") Glad I went. The food was amazing and the service superb. As someone who travels to Italy over 30 days a year, my standards are extremely high when it comes to Italian. This was an amazing dish clearly made by people who care. Every item in it was cooked perfectly. My mouth is already watering for the next time. And it deserves one of my world class pictures of it and not this one but, I was here to eat it, not stylize and photograph it. One last thing: The experience would have been perfect if not for the flies, which makes me ask, Why no fans to at least help with that? And, this is Florida. It rains here. They have no provisions to deal with that if a storm passes by and you're outside. Doesn't make sense they don't invest in at least a mechanized shade so people's $200 dinner isn't ruined. Fans and shades are simple fixes and would have made for a 5 star review

The décor is beautiful, and the combination of indoor seating and large garage doors opening to a spacious outdoor patio creates a fun date-night vibe with excellent beach views. Be aware that the indoor dining area was so loud. We opted to dine al fresco. The drink menu is creative, but cocktails are on the pricey side at around $15+. I tried the seasonal margarita and was surprised by how small the glass was for the cost. To be fair, it was served without ice (just how I prefer it), which likely factored into the size. Even the water glasses seemed unusually small. Service was excellent across the board. The entire staff worked together seamlessly, but the true standout was Peter, the host. When seating guests, he offered a choice between tables, a thoughtful touch I watched him extend to everyone. Throughout the evening, he seemed to be everywhere at once, helping deliver drinks and desserts, checking restrooms and supplies, assisting staff, and ensuring guests were taken care of. The ultimate example of his attentiveness came when I accidentally left my purse behind while walking on the beach. Peter actually started heading toward the beach to make sure I got it back. His attitude, work ethic, and willingness to help in every area made a lasting impression. Food prices are also on the higher side. I wanted to sample a few items, so I ordered two appetizers: the mussels, which were plentiful, and the shrimp and crab cake. I'm very particular about crab cakes, and this one was excellent and highly recommended. The portions were filling, though next time I'll probably order an entrée since the pricing works out similarly. My husband thoroughly enjoyed his double stack smashburger, and we couldn't pass up dessert. The chocolate cake was enormous, incredibly moist, and absolutely delicious. Overall, Boardwalk Bar & Grill offers fantastic views, a great atmosphere, excellent service, and quality food. Just be prepared for premium pricing. If you're looking for a fun beachside date night with outstanding hospitality, it's definitely worth a visit.

I paid over $18 for a Shish Kafta sandwich that was basically all bread and garnish. I'm not exaggerating--there was barely a morsel of meat in every bite. It felt like a total rip-off!!! As someone who has worked in Middle Eastern kitchens for years, this was a massive letdown. Red flags from the start: the waitress claimed Shish Taouk (tawook) is the "fastest" item (proper chicken takes time!), and the cook wasn't even middle eastern and clearly had no idea what he was doing. The Tabbouli arrived dry and unseasoned, no lemon juice or even wedges??? I ordered the Shish Kafta ($18+), and it was an embarrassment. There was so little meat it was practically a salad wrap. When you pay nearly $20 for a sandwich, you expect a proper protein portion, not a "hint" of Kafta. No lemon, no napkins, no utensils, no attention to detail. This place relies on the name of the food without understanding the food combining principles of the recipe. Check your bag before you leave, or better yet, go elsewhere. The only thing that seemed authentic about this place is that the owner is arabic.
