    It's been awhile since I've been at this friendly restaurant. When walking in we were acknowledged by a couple of different people and one came over right away to seat us. My Mom hadn't been here in a while either. They have some great specials we decided on the one that comes with a Happy Ending. My Mom had the BLT with tomato soup, I had a toasted cheese with Clam Chowder. When ordering I asked how much extra for the soup, she said a small upcharge. To me a small upcharge is maybe $1-$2 well it was $ 3.99 for one $2.99 which to me seems like we paid for a cup. So because we didn't get fries a small upcharge ended up costing us almost $8 more for lunch! They do have a 1/2 sandwich with soup for $9.99 that's what we almost got and decided against it because the waitress told us there was a small upcharge. The waitress did check on us a few times , handed us a check for someone else then came back and apologized. I have to say we both really enjoyed the sandwiches and the soup. The clam chowder had a bit more potatoes than I like I just picked them out. My mom enjoyed the tomato soup. And I thought the Clam Chowder was very good. And we both got a Happy Ending, which was choice of ice cream and a topping with whipped cream and a cherry. Of course you can't go wrong with friendlys ice cream.

    When here today with a friend, I've been here before, but today was really nice. Hardly anyone was here. Our waitress was totally awesome. Had a hamburger without the bun side of fries and a soda and ice cream sundae with chocolate sauce. I usually don't eat this much, but totally enjoyed it for the day being with my friend.

    Nostalgia bought us here and great service and food had us returning 3 more times in a little more than 24 hours! This location has a cute outdated feel to it, but in a great way. It was still very clean. The waitresses we had all were absolutely amazing. They were knowledgeable of their menu and were great with our kids. Our kids want to come back to Melbourne just to go to this restaurant. It is officially their favorite. The food is what you expect and perfectly cooked every time (we should know, we went four times lol). The ice cream is also just as good as we remembered! It was such an amazing feeling and moment watching our kids fall in love with a restaurant that we also loved growing up. 100% would we be back if we could! Thank you to the staff that made what started as a not so special vacation so very special for my kids. We will always be appreciative of it!

    If I did not have a little one with me who insisted on having a monster Sunday, I would have walked out five minutes into our 14 minute wait at the podium for someone to seat us. I have never heard "someone will be right here to seat you "so many times before. The waitress did come over to take our drink order almost immediately and they were brought right out. We decided not to have lunch since our wait was so long to be seated. I could only imagine how long it would take to get a meal. I almost didn't order anything because my favorite sundae the Reese's peanut butter cup was not on the menu , thankfully I did ask the waitress and they do make it still! Our ice cream was bought out promptly, however there were no napkins on the table, nor did our waitress give us any. Small children need napkins when they eat ice cream I couldn't find our waitress. She never came back to check on us. The people at the the table next to us were looking as well as their children needed napkins. The grandmother from that group went to the bathroom and brought everybody back paper towels from the bathroom. They do provide children with a kids pack that has a color changing spoon in it to go with the ice cream, which was nice.

    Receipt

    Food was fine, service was fine. Until they rip you off on the receipt. Tip price recommendations are over 10% different than what they should be. Absolutely shady. Just based on that we won't go back.

    They said they have no gluten free options. Service was not friendly either. One of our party's members ice cream was made wrong too.

    Went here for Father's Day. They opened an hour earlier. Was expecting it to be packed, since they…read moredon't do reservations/take call ahead. Our party of 7 was seated fairly quickly. The place is really nice. Lots of great decor, and a live stream of Key West on a TV screen that we sat near. Food was absolutely delicious. I got the Guava Jerk Sirloin. It was cooked beautifully. The sauce was absolutely delicious. The mashed potatoes were loaded and massive, and the broccoli tasted great. Couldn't finish it, so took it home! I also got the Cafe con Leche, and it was wonderful. Would come here again!

Two have chickpea as a source with the third no having a plant based source of protein in the dish. We confirmed with the server that the guacamole did not contain dairy so ordered the plantain chips and guac as an app- highly recommend. Then after having many other burgers/sandwiches on our trip I opted for the chickpea pasta with veggies and leaving off the parm to make it vegan. I appreciate the volume of veggies in the dish, though the sauce was a touch too oily. The main issue was the cooks WAY over cooked the chickpea pasta so when they tossed it with the sauce and veggies 2/3 of the pasta had broken apart...

It has the seafood broil smell that makes your mouth water. My husband got the fish and chips but substituted the fries for the Mac and cheese. The fish was great, it is haddock and not overly breaded and the Mac and cheese was very good. It is not the box mac and cheese that many places try to give you as a side. I got the crab cakes that are on the small plate menu. They were not large and over breaded. They had a lot of crab meat and the sauce that came with the fennel salad on top was very good.

Lawren did an amazing job, 5 stars for sure!!Any questions that we had she was sure to get the answer. She was extremely personable and professional and will do a great job there. 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.
