    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Great spot for live music.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Food was better than expected as the overall impression was it wasn't very clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Our server Jade was new, 2nd week but had a great attitude, but did disappear a bit. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's definitely a cool spot, clearly frequented by locals who don't seem all too welcoming of non locals.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] If we're ever up in the Palm Bay area we will end back.

    Our server was great, but we were very disappointed in the food. My sisters did not like the poke bowls at all. It had a horseradish sauce on it instead of wasabi. There were no cucumbers at all, and there was no seaweed salad included as stated on the menu. My burger was great. My niece's chicken was not cooked and had to be sent back. It was very very quiet... Then we found out it's changed hands recently. Usually it's packed. The manager came out to talk about the issues but really didn't do anything wrong to try to make anybody happy. There was also constant yelling and foul language from the kitchen. Kids kidding around I'm sure but it is a business and I don't find that to be acceptable.

    1/2 pound beef hamburger with fries $15.99

    We read a favorable review recently posted by the Treasure Coast Foodie and bought special offer gift cards to give Malabar Mo's a try. We did not have the same wonderful experience that the foodie folks did. We sat outside on the lower deck seating area by the stage where a gentleman was playing guitar and singing a mixture of country and older 80's songs. I will say our server was very attentive, pleasant, and provided great service. I ordered the classic American hamburger with fries for $15.99, and the other person ordered the mahi-mahi BLT sandwich on Texas toast with fries for $17.99. We both agreed the fries weren't good. They had a frozen bag taste to them. The burger had very little flavor, but a big splat of ketchup and mayo helped. The mahi fish itself was tasty, but the Texas toast was too buttery making the sandwich soggy, and the sandwich fell apart. The location is really nice with a view overlooking the water, but the atmosphere, food, and entertainment were all just bland. It's too bad because we had high hopes for a better experience and left feeling really disappointed. Unfortunately, we likely won't return.

    Hidden gem! They just renovated this place , there are many seating options both inside and out . Excellent service , staff very attentive & great menu options. I got the garlic parm wings yummmmm !

    Jennifer M.

    I got the wings in hot. I like that they just redid the place. I read about the wings and decided to come and try it. The food does take a while and I went around 3pm The wings aren't as thick as I expect but the sauce really ties it up together. Fries were perfect. Hush puppies were perfect. There's a lot of people hanging out loud at the bar and outside drinking it out. I wouldn't say it's an atmosphere thats not normally a sit down and eat like Buffalo Wild Wings or Bizarros. I'd go there again if I was celebrating something.

It feels like one of those diners were everyone is a regular. They have tables and chairs and it's a little crowded. They also have some bar seating. Service: you seat yourself. No one acknowledged me when I came in, so I found a waitress and asked if I just seat myself, and she said yes. A waitress come over soon after and took our order. Service was good and food came out quick. Food: I wanted to order many things from the menu. But I settled on Catfish with grits and hashbrowns. It's was ok. It kind of had an unusual batter for catfish but it was fine, but the fish was brined tasting. Definitely needs a buttermilk soak. Grits were good but a little runny for my taste... and hashbrowns were kind of bland and not as crispy as I like. So basically, everything else's good, but not amazing. My friend had meatloaf and made a big mixed pile on his plate (sorry I didn't get photo before his creation). Overall: I will be back... I think they have something I haven't found yet that is amazing. I want to try their burger and chicken friend steak when I go back.
