    Dinner
    Joe L.

    When we arrived server took a while to come to the table. It locked very empty so didn't understand the reasoning on that. Food was decent however I don't like when businesses charge weird fees on the final check. AC wasn't cooking either. Charging me a "public user" fee and not being clear on what it's for when a customer asks for it is ridiculous. And then them getting an attitude when I ask about it is more insane. Was driving back to Miami and stopped for a quick meal. I won't be back that's for sure. The restaurant is missing a soul aka a lifeline. Strange place

    I've been here about twice now and OMG what a great seafood boil option! The taste is great and I love that they have really great options. I've also eaten other than the crafty crab, their wings, and those also tasted incredible.

    Everything was great, service was also good. Only bad thing was my husband couldn't get a 1/2pd of shrimp with sausage. For some reason you have to get a pound of seafood, then add sausage. Didn't really make sense. But food was great, perfect amount of spice. Gumbo was delicious!

    Amazing Seafood Boil seasoning and Awesome Hush Puppies! I love their Boom Boom sauce and Cocktail Sauce for extras! 10 minutes from the beach, perfect place for lunch or dinner! Sweet potato fries were super fresh and delicious!

    JOHN BLAZIN', Nuff Said! If you are ever in Palm Bay Florida, you must check this spot out. It's kind of pricey, but it's worth it!

    You know it's good when a snapped crab claw splatters sauce on your face and you don't even stop eating long enough to wipe it off.

    2nd time here, added both 1st time visit and 2nd time visit photos…read more To start, the lobster bique is unmatched. Its very light while still creamy, very lobster forward and you know it because its right on top. Both times we went with the seafood lovers and its as it says for seafood LOVERS. Fresh. Fresh. Fresh. Shrimp, crab, lobster, fresh and cooked to perfection. On the bottom, an immaculate garlic butter with a slight spice (of you ask for spicy) and on top is like an oreganata. This may be our choice every single time, I cant go without it! My son gets his chicken tenders amd fries. Dad tax is a must because the fries are crispy and well made. The chicken is made when you order it and seasoned well. My only regret is not living even closer to!

    We visited this restaurant based on a recommendation from our hotel, the day after Valentine's day…read more We were promptly greeted and invited to sit wherever we would like. Seating was available inside and outside. We opted to sit inside but needed a jacket because it was pretty chilly. It must have been a popular spot to celebrate Valentines' day- to our disappointment they were out of some of the dishes we were interested in trying. We opted for the crab cake, which was good with very little filler. The Fisherman's Bounty Platter ($30) came with shrimp, fish bites, oysters, and sea scallops along with fries and coleslaw. Since they were out of oysters, they substituted with extra shrimp and the hush puppies were substituted for extra coleslaw instead. The portion size was good for the price. The fish bites were a combo of snapper and grouper. I didn't know which one I had, but I preferred one over the other. I did think the seafood could have used more seasoning. We really liked the coleslaw. The food was okay, it satisfied my hunger.

    Very impressed by this local breakfast spot in Melbourne with prices that can't be beat! We met up…read morewith an old friend to catch up while we were in the area, and he recommended this place. They have the hot griddles built into the tables so that you can make your own pancakes which is what they're known for. We didn't have to wait for a table and the service was pretty quick. I started with a blood orange mimosa (only $6.95) and it was a very generous size. For my entree, I got the 2-pancake stack breakfast combo. I opted for the lemon poppyseed pancakes (which the kitchen cooks), cheesy eggs, and bacon. My husband got the southern breakfast, and our friend got one of their scramble skillets. Everything was amazing!

    So good! We came across this based on the stars on Yelp. Spot on. This is a hipster pace for sure,…read morebut even us old folks felt welcomed by the staff and other diners. I joke of course, hipster is the theme, but of course they welcome everyone. And everyone should come. Staff is great. The place is clean and we loved the decor. Mostly, we loved our dishes. I had the shaved ribeye. Perfectly cooked and seasoned. Loved the roll and Cole slaw. Now if they had some creamy horseradish for it, homerun. All in all, an excellent Sammy. My wife had the pulled pork Bennie. I am not a fan of pulled pork, but I must admit my fork wandered over to the plate a few times. She loved the dish as well. It was so big, we took half home. And there is where I may have finished it without permission. LOL. I really wish Yelp had the half star option. 4 1/2 is more appropriate. Go here. You won't be disappointed.

    Dinner with a friend today…read more We sat at the bar. The bartender (can't remember the name) was really sweet, prompt and quick. The bar wasn't busy but she was serving a few tables as well.

That said there were people who came in 20 minutes after us and they got their food before we did. We ordered the fish and chips,with a side of carrots ,meatloaf with broccoli rice casserole carrots. Pork chops with grilled onions, and some kind of honey bourbon sauce, baked potato and broccoli. The fish was a generous portion,heavily coated with panko. Very crispy but just too much breading with thin pieces of fish. Fries were declared good. The meatloaf was a generous 2 slices with a rich gravy. Broccoli Casserole and carrots. She said her meal was delicious. I had the pork chops, 2 Chops. They were a little overcooked and had grill marks added. but unfortunately the grill marks were burnt marks. Which left a terrible burnt taste in those bites. The baked potato was good but very small , maybe the size of a large new potato. I didn't receive my broccoli until I had almost finished my meal and had an unpleasant spicy taste. It shouldn't take 45 minutes to get your meal. Our server was very pleasant, maybe had too many tables or just thought we were older women and couldn't make any money off us? When I finally cornered the server, I said my chops had a bad burnt taste, she said really and handed me my check. Not very encouraging for return visits.
