Just as good as I remembered! We came for lunch and were the first ones here. Our server, Elizabeth, was awesome and all of our food selections rocked! The raw oysters were great! I've had better Oysters Rockefeller, but the Bloody Maryland was definitely a hit and will be having again! The oyster shooters were splendid and the She crab soup perfect on this gloomy day.

Red Snapper with diced shrimp and breadcrumbs

If you're getting appetizers great but the main dishes lack flavor and appeal. The service, I had to get up and go find my waiter for melted butter and then ask the host where he is so we can pay and leave. I don't have a problem waiting but this was full blown disappearance. I found the ambiance kind of dark. I asked others at my table and a few agreed. My son and I got the special which was Red Snapper with ground or cut up shrimp with breadcrumbs on top. To tell you the truth the shrimp and breadcrumbs overrode the Red Snapper. I told our waiter this. My DIL and my daughter got the mussels that were supposed to be in white wine and garlic sauce but it was just water with minced garlic. No bueno. The appetizers, I had raw oysters very good, my son got the bang bang shrimp very good, and he also ordered the raw tuna no good, my daughter ordered the baked oysters very good. I took a census and we will not be going back. Too bad because I remember Bunkys from back in the day when they were at their first location and it's just gone down hill. By the way we watched a family of 4 come in wait over 10-15 minutes got up and left. The service was really bad.

Delightful and delicious! Hope to come back again next time I'm in town for work again.

While in town for my daughter's bridal shower, we were staying nearby and looking for a good place to eat. After checking Yelp, we decided to give Bunky's a try--and we're so glad we did! From the outside, it looks like a corner spot in a strip mall, but inside it has the feel of a sports bar with high-end seafood. The atmosphere, food, and service did not disappoint. The drinks were great and always flowing. We ordered three appetizers and our mains, and everything was excellent. We'll definitely be adding this to our list anytime we're back in the area.

Chow'da & fish samich! Delish...
Lenny M.

Another 2nd post, that is well deserved, they just do it right, from the chow'da, oysters & entree's. I don't think anything they serve will make u mad, staff, atmosphere, great...

Our service was top notch. Our waitress explained the menu options well since it was our first time eating there. The food was amazing! I had the fried seafood sampler and that was the best shrimp I've ever had. Lightly breaded, perfectly cooked and seasoned. I'm so glad we stopped and we can't wait to go back.

Mango tango bowl

This place will never let you down! Service staff is so nice. Food is so good especially for the price. The mango tango bowl w/ blackened mahi is my go to!

We are out of towners and our cousins recommended we come here... Definitely a casual bar/restaurant-known for their seafood. Sports bar vibe. Parking was difficult (on a Tuesday night) they share a lot with Ichabods Bar & Grille maybe that's why? We were meeting another couple who arrived early and they ordered a couple appetizers, buffalo chicken dip and fried oysters. Took almost an hour for them to come out. Ridiculous! We also ordered a cup of clam chowder and a cup of gumbo soup and those took about a half hour to come out! Ridiculous! Our dinners were tasty, my husband loved the seafood pasta but absolutely positively not worth $40. I had the Mango Mahi bowl which was really good however the cook/chef overcooked the fish! Such a bummer- ruined a great piece of fish, the plantains were bomb!! Our server was really nice but seemed a little overwhelmed and the couple times we asked for something she seemed slightly annoyed. She also expressed her frustration with the kitchen because our appetizers took waaay too long. I don't know if I'd recommend eating here?

I'm not usually in Melbourne, but happened to be staying at the beach for a night with some family. We chose Bunky's Raw Bar& Grill as our dinner destination purely on the name as we all love oysters. We called ahead and they said it would be about a 15 minute wait, which was not an issue. We arrived checked in for our table and the wait time had grew to 35 minutes. ( in a small beach town you have to expect a decent wait time) it took about 45 minutes to get our table which was expected. We were sat near the entrance which I would have liked to not be in the path of everyone entering and leaving the restaurant but wasn't a deal breaker. Our server was very friendly. I don't recall her name. We started with cocktails and appetizers which were all perfect. (Refer to pictures) and I ordered the scallops for dinner. They could have been cooked a little less but still delicious. And then they brought me out a piece of key lime pie (as it was my birthday) it was fantabulous! I have no complaints about the experience company was great. He was nearly perfect. I will definitely return it and bring friends, and I will definitely go friends about this location if they were in the area.

Seafood platters aren't worth the price. Very small servings... The best part of my dinner was the grilled zucchini

Never disappoints. They get busy at times but that's because the seafood is good. Definitely a staple of the area.

**INITIAL REVIEW**…read more When it comes to the restaurants within Downtown Melbourne/Melbourne Main Street, I often stress that the ones on the edge of the river and/or marina are some of the best ones if you want a meal with a view. The Mansion and Chart House come to mind. The one my family wanted to go to was Ichabod's Bar & Grille. Unfortunately, its popularity exceeded its capacity and the waittime was over an hour. Ergo, we went to their sister location on Melbourne Beach, the one right across from Paradise Beach. Maybe, I was expecting a bit more as the Melbourne Beach location is the newer location meaning it had the OG to learn from, but it did not live up to that standard, at least the one I had in my head. Though an address is provided, this Ichabod's Bar & Grille - which I will shorthand simply to Ichabod's for the remainder of this review - is located as a stand-alone business right across the entrance to Paradise Beach. Ichabod's surely has that look of being a dockside restaurant despite being "landlocked," but good luck parking nearby. The parking situation has always been bad around the area. Inside, the seating is limited in which the majority of seating seems to be at the two bars. I guess Ichabod's is catering to a certain demographic pertaining to who dines inside. Outside, there are more tables for families and groups. That is where my family and I sat for our meal. Our waitress Jordanann, God bless her soul, was the only waitress working. She was running around like a chicken with their head cut off as she served everyone both inside and outside the restaurant. Despite her situation, she remained focused and kind. I definitely gave her a big tip for how hard she worked. As for the food, it was... well... okay. I always get fried fist fillets whenevere I come to a new seafood restaurant, along with crab cakes. There was shell in the crab cake, which I find to be a bit of a norm with a little piece, but there were some thoroughly recognizable pieces in my mouth when biting right in. And the fish, well... it was... okay. Not the best fish I ever had, but not bad where I would not finish it or at least take it home. Other food my family ordered includes the Mahi Sandwich, Our Burger, Shrimp Wrap, Caprese Burger, Jerk Mahi Plate, and the Jerk Shrimp Plate. Overall, the initial visit was very lacking. Though I do not fault the waitress herself, I do fault the restaurant for only having one waitress for this shift. I assume they are having a troublesome time keeping staff. I will definitely come back and give them a second chance. Can't just say Ichabod's is what they are over one visit, but for this initial visit, this is the kind of rating I would give them. If they improve over an average, i will reconsider changing the rating and updating the review.

Kathy had the "Our Burger" with cheddar cheese and bacon, medium rare and potato chips. Dottie had the "Our Burger" with sautéed onions, no bun and put on a side salad with bleu cheese dressing. I had the "BBQ Burger" with a great tasting bbq sauce, cheddar cheese and bacon and a side of great creamy cole slaw and potato chips. ALL our burgers were soo good. We thoroughly enjoyed them!!! Spoke to MATT who cooks these burgers and shared with him how happy we were with them. The BEST!! Whenever we visit family again here will keep Ichabod's open for one dinner. Dottie's salad was also great as was the creamiest cole slaw side I ordered. The potato chips that comes with the entree is also a must. Thanks again to our server, sorry I forgot your name. You were also the best. You couldn't make us more comfortable. You are an asset to this business. Thanks again.

Why are you sleeping on The Mansion in Melbourne??? If you are you are missing out!!…read more I'll admit I don't get there as often as I would like being I live in the North part of the county, but every time we have been there it has not been a disappointment. We visited this evening for dinner and had a great time! The food and drinks were so good not to mention the amazing selection of bourbon that is available. They also have a cellar where they sell a variety of wine and spirits. We came here looking for something particular and our server took the time to go to the cellar while we were eating to find it for us. We have attended holiday events here over the years as well and it was always a treat. I have seen posts about the atmosphere we sat outside and really enjoyed it. Please check this place out. Reasonably priced for the portions, great presentation, service and quality.
