Chicken sandwich (forget the exact name)
Kataigles O.

Really great overall experience. The location is great, food was really good and the drinks were on point. Service was really good, almost too attentive, but that's not really a bad thing. Ambiance is nice and they had live music closer to when we were leaving.

This is a great place to sit outside and watch the plane come and go from the Melbourne airport. The beer is cold and the food was good,

View, looking West.

Pretty cool venue with space to host large groups. Nice bar area, live music & great view. Music is extremely loud, you can barely have conversations. Too crowded, being the newest "place to be". Happy hour drink specials; my Margarita was still $15. Wasn't bad, but not worth $15. Cranberry/Orange salad was $18. Average size bowl most places serve. It came out with chopped chicken all over the top. Sent it back, being vegetarian. Menu did not mention chicken. It came back out without chicken. It was a good, fresh salad. Our server was on our table alone, so service was slow. My bill had the words "take off" with an additional charge of $1. I asked about this & was told it would come off. I'm thinking it was for taking the chicken off my salad... IDK??? It was too cloudy to see the sunset, but still enjoyed the company. FYI: It is outdoors, so no AC. It was very humid, & when the sun does go down, it's directly on you! May try this place again, may not.

Appetizer was not served until meal; it was lobster Mac & Cheese which was disappointingly dry.

Food and service were great. Nice way to watch some storms approaching. Got a little load when some softball tournament families piled in.

Long wait times for food. Food was mediocre. The view was okay but didn't see any planes land or take off.

How often do jets arrive and take off? Is there a “best time” to go to this restaurant for enjoying the view?

There are a few airline flights taking off and landing 5 and 7:30 pm, but not many because it's a smaller airport. In between though there's usually lots of student pilots taking off and landing, as well as business jets, so there's plenty of…

We arrived before sunset which allowed us to see fabulous sights- the airport traffic in daylight, and the sunset which is God's gift after a long day.

After we got to my mom and I decided to walk to Hell n Blazes brewing in downtown Melbourne. We…read morewere created by a very nice gentleman who told me he would be happily to assist us and whatever we ordered not only do they have a 360 wraparound bar. They also have seating; It's a seat yourself policy. For a drink I decided to get there Mr. pink Porter, which is a American Porter with notes of chocolate caramel and coffee. It is 6.2% ABV. My mom and I are currently sitting at the bar and Boy. Is it busy right now. However, this is the only brewery/bar. I've been to where they keep their additives that they add to the cocktails with the lid on them so no one is breathing or sneezing on them which I absolutely love. The gentleman assisting us was so nice; his name is Nick. He's amazing; very kind and efficient. The ambience of the brewery is like biker gang meet industrial warehouse. Definitely recommend. The flavor of my porter is very light and crisp. It's also very easy to drink. Very, robust flavor you can definitely taste the coffee and the caramel. 10/10

Even if you don't drink, the food makes it worth your while to come. The dining area is spacious,…read moreclean and my only qualm was that there weren't any tables set for just 2... Our server was quick and friendly, answered questions and was excellent overall. The food... Started with the pretzels and spicy gator. The pretzel was soft and delicious, the gator was spicy and delicious, but the fried coating was very thick and gator, very small. I had the pulled pork plate with mashed potatoes and cornbread of which was quite delicious. I enjoyed every bite. I must go back because there were other things on the menu that I have to try.

The cocktails were exceptional. I asked for classic cocktails that weren't in the menu. They delivered. Love the place. Why Four stars? Service was three bears. The waiter with the blonde mop of hair is very nice but inexperienced. Too on top of customers when they arrive. He needs to give a menu and give a few minutes for guests to peruse it. The head bartender is brilliant. Talent without hospitality, though, is a craft cocktail fail. Kindness counts. The vibe was colder than the cocktails. I hope it improves on future visits. The blonde bartender in the grey dress was just right. Professional, attentive, and kind. This is easily a six star speak. When you are serving? You are "on." Be as excellent and calm of a person as you are outstanding at your craft.

However, what was given to us was some branded plastic package of some cheese and cold cuts you can get from the refrigerated section in any grocery store and some gas station convenience stores. Like was said above, the staff was friendly and the drinks good. The epic failure of what should be a no-brainer of how not to serve food was an unfortunate distraction from the things that were well done.

We love Irish pubs! Meg O'Malley's is our favorite in the Central Coast of Florida! This week I had…read moretheir draft hard cider! Perfect! I ordered the Corned Beef Sandwich! Huge portion and the cheese and special sauce really was great! They have great creamy coleslaw which I often choose to accompany anything I order. My husband had a burger with fries! Fries are great, too! He is a Guinness guy! BTW, they have the perfect Scotch Egg! There is so much to try! Great Fish and Chips! Great Bangers and Mash! We travel over an hour to get there! We just don't get there often enough. Servers are efficient ... they must have a fabulous kitchen! What's not to love about the ambiance of an Irish pub. Ask about the live Irish music "jam".

We hadn't been to Meg O'Malleys since 2019, but it was always a favorite. We live out of town, so…read morewe weren't regulars, but it was always on the list when we came in. This past weekend, we were in town and had to go visit an old favorite. Now that we live closer, we were excited to renew acquiantence. While most people don't go to an Irish Bar for gourmet food, M o'M's was reliably good in our memory. We were incredibly disappointed in our dinner Saturday night. We ordered Shepherds Pie, Corned Beef and Cabbage and Chocolate Cake. The Shepherds Pie tasted like it was made with Heinz Boullion Powder. The Corned Beef and Cabbage had no seasoning whatsoever, tasted like it was just boiled in plain water. The Chocolate cake looked beautiful, all drizzled with white chocolate and rasberry sauce. The drizzles were the best part. The cake tasted like the refrigerator smells. I hope we got it on a bad night but I suspect its not worth going for food again. We'll stick with the Guiness and Irish Whiskey next time.

I found this spot as a last minute resort to another place that was extremely noisy…read more This spot is tucked away right off A1A, and has a cute hotel/vacation spot attached to it. This cute bar/grille has an ocean view no matter where you are sitting. There's even some tables on the beach itself if you wanna take off your shoes and sit a spell. Our waitress was helpful and lively. And the food was surprisingly amazing! We only had nachos and drinks because we didn't want to ruin dinner later. But I watched as people Ordered these sky high smash burgers. They looked so damn good! I also zoomed in and took a photo of another persons wings.. they should be called "wangz" because they're so huge! Next time.. next time.. lol If you're ever passing thru, stop By and I promise you won't be disappointed.

Decent beach bar, but a little too kid-friendly for my taste…read more I came here hoping for dinner on the water, good music, the sound of the ocean, and maybe some friendly conversation with the locals. Instead, one of the main seating areas was partially taken over by strollers, toys, and other kid gear. I understand that restaurants can't control every family that visits, but the overall atmosphere felt more like a playground than a relaxing waterfront dining spot. To the staff's credit, my server was kind enough to move some of the strollers and toys so I could get a seat. Unfortunately, it had just rained and the chairs were still soaked. While I appreciated her making room for me, it would have been nice if someone had also taken a moment to wipe down the seat before it was offered to me. Instead, I had the unpleasant experience of sitting in a sopping wet chair and spent my evening here with a soggy backside, which definitely put a damper on the experience... Pun intended. I ordered a glass of Sauvignon Blanc, which was good, although I was a little surprised to receive it in a plastic cup. Maybe that's standard here, but it wasn't what I expected. For dinner, I tried the mahi tacos after seeing them mentioned in several reviews. The fish itself was good, but the tacos were absolutely covered in sauce, to the point that it drowned out the taste of everything else. Also, thatsynot what they looked like on the reviews I saw. If I knew they would have so much sauce (or any sauce actually) I would ordered it on the side. I ended up removing most of the sauce-drenched toppings just to taste the fish. I also requested a side salad and was told the only option available for a side salad was a Caesar... despite several salads being listed on the menu. I guess it was too hard to toss some salad greens into a bowl with a side if vinaigrette The parking situation is also very confusing. All the spaces indicate that parking is for guests and there is signage along the fence threatening to tow anyone who parks along the fence. I had to call the restaurant to confirm where guests could park (along the fence, as long as it is not overnight or just to go to the beach) and fortunately my car was still there when I returned from dinner. Overall, the food was decent and the waterfront location is nice. If you're looking for a casual, family-friendly beach bar, this may be a fit. However, if you're hoping for a quieter place to unwind after work or enjoy a peaceful dinner by the water, you definitely want to look elsewhere.
