Zaxby's- Melbourne, FL- 4 Stars (Fast Food Edition)…read more "If I'm not back in five minutes...just wait longer!"-- Jim Carrey Is it safe to come out of the house now? I'm not sure if it's still Covid season or if we have moved on to Riot season, but nonetheless, I have to get out of the damn house! I am not trying to make this a political post, just an observational one on where we have been as a country for the past year and a half or so. Returning from my Federally and Locally imposed exile, I was saddened to see all the boarded-up eateries and not just because I love to eat, but rather for the loss of personal dreams and accomplishments that each boarded up building represented. With that heavily on my mind, I thought the best place to get back on the mound would be a chain that survived the National Shut Down. Located on the corner of Jordan Blass Dr. and Wickham Rd. this Zaxby's is right across the street from the Pineda Landings Shopping Plaza in the Suntree area of Melbourne, Fl. While I found the dining area to be spotlessly clean albeit desolate, the ability my server Rachel demonstrated in carrying out her duties was severely impaired, and she might do better on the fryer than serving customers. After a few moments of excruciating frustration, I was finally able to get my order across and sat back to wait for my Chicken Strip Basket to arrive. With the employees masked and the immaculate condition of the dining area, it was clear to me they are taking their patrons health, as well as their employees seriously in this Pandemic Reality in which we find ourselves. It wasn't too long before Rachel returned with my offerings. As one can see by the pictures, the chicken was perfectly fried. It was an eye-catching golden brown on the outside and oh so tender and juicy on the inside. I must also add that their sauce is unfreakinreal good!! Seriously, it was all I could do not to grab a handful and make a run for it. The Big Boy, says, "If you're dying to get out and hankerin' for some amazing fried chicken, albeit fast food chicken, and tantalizing sauce, head on over to Zaxby's. You won't be disappointed."

This place has been a staple of the Suntree area for a very long time. I have probably eaten here…read moremore than any other Mexican restaurant in the area. Not because it's the best, but because it's close, decent, and well priced. We mostly eat lunch here. My normal go to is a lunch special consisting of an enchilada and a taco, along with the beans and rice. I also get a taco on the side most of the time. The enchilada is usually kind of small. The food has actually gotten a bit less flavorful over the years. We are there today and the food was very bland. Very little seasoning on the food. I've never had to add salt or hot sauce, but had to today. The salsa they serve with the chips is par for the course. You will need to ask for spicy if you want a kick to it. The stuff they bring out is very mild (to me). The well brand liquor margaritas are typical for a place like this. You can also get 1/2 gallons of them to go. Soda is $2.50, so get one to go. They also charge for club soda, so be aware. Kids eat free on Sundays. But beware, half the time they "forget" to take the kids meals off. Make sure you look at your check. All in all, it's not the greatest, but it's not the worst. Service is always fast. We have never had to wait for food. They are always friendly and never get an attitude.

We've been to the original small location in West Melbourne very very good and delicious and the portions are great. There are three locations. We haven't been to the Wickham Road one in Melbourne so I can't say how they are, but if I have a choice, I will not go back to the Son tree location we won't be and we will stick to the West Melbourne one

Now we're in Orlando, but if we swing by the area during their open hours, it's a must on our list! Our go-to order is their chicken salad; it's curry flavored with golden raisins on top of rye.

Wonderful service!

My friend & I stopped in, after shopping, for a late lunch…read more We were 1st time customers. The interior & atmosphere was that of a local small diner, like those we enjoyed, many years ago. Wally, our server, welcomed us with a friendly smile & made enjoyable small talk. We ordered the cheeseburger that comes with a choice of 1 side. We chose the french fries-because of their great reviews. We were not disappointed! Light, but had a nice crisp & flavor. The angus cheeseburger was made perfectly, and was very flavorful & juicy. The melted cheddar cheese was such good addition. The man who made our food was referred to as Mr. Ian, by our server, Wally. We asked him to pass along our compliments to Ian. (I hope I'm spelling it correctly. (Pronounced Ee-an). This diner, also, serves breakfast, all day. I'm going to try the meatloaf, next time. We will, definitely, make this a regular part of our N. Wickham thrifting adventure. PS-We shopped at Angels in the Attic-really nice shop, and at the North end Goodwill. Very nice store, as well. Make it a day of shopping & try out the diner!

No life, too little decor and the smallest assortment of donuts. I have gone many times and they NEVER have fruity flavors that mochi is known for and advertised on their website. Maybe 4-6 different kinds that all are caramel or chocolate. The prices are just too high for what you get too. Fun textures but no focus on the Asian flavors that make these creations what they are suppose to be. The service was just atrocious. And I mean BAD!! We were the ONLY people in the lobby with one sole employee that wouldn't even turn around to acknowledge us. Clearly she was working on a large order, however, how long would we have had her backed turned to us unless we spoke up? I will never know. We finally and politely said "excuse me". She only glanced over her shoulder and turned around again. Teenagers. Right? Ugh. So we politely said "we just want 1 donut, can you please help us" With a sigh she turned to face us and just stared. .... We made our order, she got our donut and then just looked at the machine in front of us as if to say with her dead eyes "you better leave me a tip" We didn't. We paid for our donut, with no word ever said to us, and left. Customer service is everything! You can have the best food in the world, but if you are treated with disrespect it becomes the worst food. With good service, a bad meal can be good. Be better Mochinut

It is so cool the Space Coast, specifically Viera and Melbourne, are getting restaurants that serve…read moremore niche foods. Pertaining to this realization, the latest in such is Mochinut Melbourne. Located just east of the Viera/Suntree exit of I-95, Mochinut Melbourne specializes in mochinuts, a hodgepodge impromptu mochi and donut. They also happen to serve boba teas and Korean hot dogs which they shorthand to K-dogs. The aforementioned should interest any foodie patrons on the Space Coast. It should also be noted that Mochinut Melbourne is technically a part of a chain with restaurants located in multiple areas in Central Florida. You'd think Mochinut Melbourne would gleam from their predecessors and this would be a smooth opening right? Wrong! And that seems to be their initial downfall at this moment. For starters, the wait time (when I was there with my friend Paula) was almost two hours. That is quite insane for a line the size I seen which is about ten people, many in groups of families or friends. How can the line be so slow? It is when you get inside you find out why the wait is ridiculously long. The flow of ordering and paying is so bad, no wonder people leave. As shown in my pic of the mochinut counter, there are two areas that seem like a place to order and a place to pay. You know where Paula and I ordered our food? The end of the line at the register? You serious? All this line length in front of the donut counter and they couldn't order-and-go from beginning to end? If they did such, they could get a start on boba teas and K-dogs and have them ready when patrons reach the end of the line where the register is. Just seems inefficient to order and pay at the end of the register with the layout they have. As for the rest of the ambiance, a lot of pink and two parts of the wall seem to have photo opportunities. There are some benches but they were fully occupied along with people standing around waiting for K-dogs to finish cooking and boba teas to finish making. In short: a lot of people were waiting around. Despite the unorganization, you'd think the mochinuts would be worth it, right? Well... yes and no. Firstly, all the mochinuts are technically plain mochinuts with a flavor decored upon them. For example, the blueberry mochinut is the plain mochinut with blueberry flavored icing and some form of blueberry fruit cuttings/pieces mixed into the icing. There are no mochinuts with the flavor baked into the mochinut or any with a flling inside such as Boston cream. Paula and I didn't even bother getting any boba teas or K-dogs because the wait was atrocious. Besides all the flaws, I must say the staff were very pleasant and a pleasure to talk to. It is not their fault they have to follow a procedure and protocol that constantly keeps them struggling to keep up with orders. I really hope the manager steps in and fixes the flow because I am sure they can adjust some things here and there to make the flow of work smoother for the workers as well as patrons ordering food. Ultimately, I am going to have to give Mochinut Melbourne an initial rating of two stars out of five. Since Mochinut Melbourne is technically part of a chain, I would expect more from them. I will return when they settle in more as well as try their K-dogs and boba teas. If they do better in a settled-down state, I will reconsider my initial rating.

Simple tasks can't be preformed, like selling a cheese roll up, by the standard, properly melted, with a fair amount of cheese. They cost 2$ a piece in this economy and a tortilla with UNMELTED cheese is inedible. They should not be unraveling themselves, or cold to the touch. 30 seconds in the steamer isn't hard to complete! Now, CUTTING a quesadilla might be a little harder to do for this crowd, it's not rocket science. Every time I order this it is NEVER cut properly. Each time it's a game they play. This is inappropriate and a year of this consistency has reached a limit. Used to be such a clutch taco bell, i've lived here FOREVER such a disappointment. Y'all kids can talk to ur corporate! keep trolling and we'll do it back ;)
