Sandy&#x27;s Grille

We wandered into the Village Tavern of Sebastian on a Saturday afternoon after running errands, and…read moreit instantly felt like one of those hidden gems you kick yourself for not finding sooner. We live just down the road in Vero Beach, so discovering a neighborhood tavern with this much charm practically in our backyard was a real win. We had already eaten lunch at Nini's Cuban across the parking lot, so we stopped in just for a beer. Within minutes we were pulled straight into the atmosphere. Nancy, the bartender and proprietor, is the kind of host every small tavern dreams of. Warm, funny, and completely at ease, she makes newcomers feel like long‑time regulars while keeping the whole place running smoothly. The beer selection is far better than you would expect from a cozy local spot. There is a rotating craft lineup that rivals bigger bars, along with the classics and a surprisingly solid wine list. We spent half our visit sipping and the other half laughing at the hilarious signs covering the walls and at the antics of a couple of regulars who clearly keep the place lively. We have not tried the food yet, but the vibe alone guarantees we will be back and we will be coming hungry. This is the kind of place where you settle in, meet the locals, and let the afternoon drift. For the record, our beer of choice that day was "Cougar Bait." It is as much fun to drink as it is to say!

The food was very tasty. The portions are very nice, and the prices are very reasonable…read more Great little place to grab a quick lunch.

I honestly came in with pretty average expectations, but the food was better than I expected. The fried appetizers were solid, especially the onion rings and tater tots. The cookie ice cream sandwich was a fun surprise and a great way to end the meal. The wings were decent. They weren't anything I'd go out of my way for, but they had a good variety of sauces and flavors. I just hope they keep refining them because they're close to being really good.

For starters, they never asked for our IDs. Now, my husband and I are old enough to drink, but the fact that they didn't check them should have been a red flag. It's clear they just don't care. As the night went on, it became even more apparent. The staff didn't seem to care enough to cut people off when they had clearly had too much to drink. At one point, a man approached my husband and me while we were sitting on the couch and started a bizarre conversation, making strange comments and pointing at us. We tried to ignore it, but then his "friends" had to pull him away. A little later, he came back, now more aggressive than before. I started yelling for help from other patrons or the bartender, and they only responded by pulling him away. The bartender didn't intervene at all. At that point, we decided to cut our night short. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone, not even on a quiet Wednesday. If they're not responsible enough to check IDs, they clearly don't care enough to ensure their patrons' safety or comfort.

The server was miserable and treated us terribly. She rolled her eyes multiple times at us and was rude to my son when he ordered his food. He wanted a Cesar salad and wings and after he ordered the salad she moved on to my daughter. After she was finished he looked at me and said "I didn't get to order my wings". I told her that he also wanted wings (eye roll) and she said "well, I didn't hear him order wings, so I didn't HEAR HIM". He is 12, he isn't a little child, and the way she interacted was horrible. Food came out and we never saw her again. She never refilled drinks and she avoided our table like we were the plague. Then, LOL I asked the hostess if they could do something for his birthday and they said they would let our waitress know. I joked with my kids dad and step mom that she's probably going to be farther annoyed that we asked, an lo and behold, she came over to the table and said "yeah, we don't do birthdays here". The website literally says "celebrate your birthday with us!" ‍ We were trying to talk to a manager on our way out, but she told us they were too busy to talk to us.

We've been coming to Sandy Grille for years, and it never disappoints! The chili is hands-down one of the best I've ever had, and the Buffalo Chicken Salad is absolutely delicious--it's one of those dishes I find myself craving. The food is consistently fresh, the service is always friendly, and the owner is truly wonderful. You can tell they genuinely care about their customers and the experience they provide. My only complaint? I wish they were open 24/7 because I'd probably be there all the time! If you're looking for great food, great people, and a place that feels like home, Sandy Grille is a must-visit. Highly recommend! read more

Malabar Mo's is known as our local biker bar the night's I was here I really didn't see any motorcycles or bikers or maybe I did and they're in regular street clothes. The food here does not stand out in any way it's pretty average but there's really nothing wrong with that at all. Is it cool local spot close to the river with local people who work and live in my town some of which I recognize and I've seen around. The service here is always good. The food comes out fast and it's very presentable. Nothing bad to say about this whatsoever. Now the alcohol is my biggest complaint. I simply ordered a vodka lemonade and I thought the drink was really strong but I didn't even get a buzz so ordered another one and thought it was really strong again and it wasn't. The next morning I realized from the headache I received but the drink wasn't straw but the vodka must have been below the well it was so low grade. The only other vodka that's ever given me a headache like that after two drinks is ABC house brand and Smirnoff. I'm not sure if it was Smirnoff but it did taste really strong for one ounce of alcohol mixed into a regular 8 oz cup so whatever it was it was undoubtedly cheap. Second time I came here I was up with a party of seven people. The waitress was able to handle our table without any issues. She checked in frequently and gave us regular updates on the kitchen and what was going on with the food and the staffing. Every employee I've contacted at this location has been friendly. I wouldn't necessarily call this location a date night restaurant but it's definitely safe for casual time. Let's just say it's not a first date location if you're looking for a romantic candlelit dinner with flowers on the table. If you're close by it's really not a bad spot to stop and have a drink I possibly need some local that's also a good spot to sip on your drink and listen to the crazy banter from a crazy Palm Bay residence at the bar. If you've been in town a long time these people will often tell a story to each other and you'll find yourself smiling and nod and remember the good old days out in da bay.

I'm not an alcoholic and didn't expect 2 loud mouthed intoxicated, heavy set women to invite themselves into my conversation at my table. It's an obnoxious pirate costume event and a poorly managed business. Socializing is not possible in this atmosphere. I watched some elderly band who didn't play well and the singer had no voice. I thought maybe they were donating their time? Every song they played sounded just like the last song. Since everyone was too bombed to aim properly in the bathroom, they certainly didn't notice. The key issue is no one here gets a limit on alcohol consumption. It's a DUI hot spot. The riffraff are obviously regulars here. The food is awfully overpriced for what you get, the water is even worse, and nowhere near a full menu to order from. Waitress looked overworked and do not smile. A horror show on weekends. I know it's not a classy place like you get downtown in Melbourne, but the owner should be responsible when serving alcohol without any limits and asking big mouths to shut up so others can enjoy a conversation at their table. I know for a fact two individuals who left this bar completely intoxicated and one lost a leg, and the other lost a foot riding home drunk on Malabar Rd. Ask any cop about it. My scenic view is the backside of a gas station. so we split and rode south, Rosie's has a a gorgeous view of the river for less money I dumped on this dive. The patrons have good hygiene, and can spell hygiene too.

If you want an eclectic- large- menu with fresh seafood and not stuffy vibe- this is your spot. Our server, Deb, was delightful. Simply perfect as far as service. We started with Oysters and onion rings. Couldn't say anything negative about their onion game and oysters were fresh. I prefer mignonette with mine, but this place is a cocktail sauce and crackers kind of spot. No prob. I had the fresh salmon "in the weeds" style. It was delicious. I've had a similar dish at a much more upscale place and this one held its own. My husband had the fish cakes and it came with fish and scallops in a crabcake style set up. They were also very good and very fresh tasting not fishy at all. We decided to take home dessert because we were so stuffed and Deb was kind enough to pack it all up for us with her infectious smile. Key lime pie- filling was excellent ratio of sweet and tangy but wasn't a fan of the crust. Seemed to have a hint of allspice or something unique that we picked up on but wasn't preferred. Peanut butter pie was classic and a 10/10. We saw several people with other dishes, like the taco salad or the fresh fish island style and they all looked amazing. The taco salad was massive and looked delicious. If you are looking for a casual spot with good food, great service and a good drink selection. You can't get much better than this.
