What a hidden jewel... this is the place for breakfast... give it a try ...you will not be disappointed....5 star +

Service is great. Diner is overdue for a make-over. Food is mixed. Their burgers, pancakes, eggs, grits and home fries are decent . Heard the owner retired and new owner will be changing up the menu. Hope if they carry buttermilk biscuits, fries and onions rings they are homemade. Would rather have a smaller menu with homemade items than anything frozen or canned. Location has plenty of free parking. read more

Great breakfast specials for $ 6.49 including coffee / drink!! Fast friendly service providing meals quickly at a ludicrously Great price. Waffle, eggs, biscuit, ham, coffee, hash browns all straightforward breakfast items. Server gladly accommodated request for extra crispy hash browns. Grits needed a little salt, but understandable as some like sugar vs salt. Interested in coming back for their $7.99 weekday lunch specials and Friday fish fry (they serve swai) Ambiance is those 1950s retro style ads and pictures. As one can guess for the price lots of retired folks coming in for weekday specials. That said we were seated and served immediately. Definitely give it a try!! read more

I really like this simple but good diner. Great food and service. Specials different days of the week so call if you're interested

Good food excellent service at a great price!!!! Would highly recommend!!!! Was in area for work for two weeks

Excellent traditional breakfast, very tasty, large portions, terrific service, and a friendly, family atmosphere. I love a great diner.

No complaints! The food was good, service was great and it's reasonably priced. It's not a high class diner so don't expect it to be. Would definitely come again. read more

It took forever to get our order and when we finally did, it was freezing cold. They took both of our orders and put it in the microwave and my over medium egg became a hard boiled fried egg. I asked for onions in my hash browns, they never appeared. It took about 15 minutes for someone to take our order. When she realized it, she was such a doll. The service is amazing. The sausage gravy is really lacking sausage. I might try it again for lunch. Again, the service is very good. read more

Great chicken sandwich grilled and on rye. It was very good and waitress was nice. I will be back there. Give it a try . Oh and the prices are reasonable. read more

Food was delicious and service was quick. It was around 12:45pm on a Tuesday and I was able to seat myself and waitress was very friendly. If dining solo, they also have counter service if you prefer that to a table. Nice clean atmosphere. read more

My wife and I love coming here for breakfast. Great portions and awesome food. Servers are great. Especially Kelly and Nancy. There's another server that has waited on us, but I do not know her name. They have great gravy and biscuits. Fast service and really really nice people. read more

Very friendly and good food too! I will be going back. Great variety on their menu. Highly recommend read more

This company posts a 3.5 % charge on the door unless paying by cash. Ordered a $6.99 bfast. And a drink, costs$15? And I paid cash? The portions have gotten really small! #stillhungry! Beaware of this place! read more

What an amazing find today! Loved the decor and the great service. The best thing by far though was the amazing food. I highly recommend the Angus chopped steak topped with brown gravy, grilled onions & mushrooms. Definitely did not leave this wonderful diner hungry. You gotta go! read more

Stopped by this diner for lunch. The staff here is very friendly and our server took our drink order and delivered it right away. She was awesome and very attentive. We ordered the taco salad and a tuna salad sandwich. Our meals came in a reasonable amount of time. The tuna sandwich oddly lacked any mayonnaise and just tasted off. The sweet potato chips were limp and lifeless. The horseradish sauce that came with it was good but didn't help much. The taco salad shell was crisp around the edge but soggy on the bottom. It was filled with lettuce, meat, tomatoes, cheese, salsa, and sour cream. Honestly the taco salad at taco bell is better and cheaper. A real disappointment here. I ate because I was hungry. Maybe breakfast is better but probably will not return any time soon. 1 star for friendly staff and server. About it. read more

Really good diner. Came to town for grandfathers birthday and there didn't seem like much around. But sheps was great

Shep's is outstanding and always excellent. The food is out of this world delicious. The pancakes are the best pancakes ever. The owner knows how to run a restaurant and it shows. read more

I ordered the three egg omelette with mushrooms and onions. Honestly, the eggs did not have salt at all and the food was swimming in grease. The home fries I ordered were okhay. I asked for peppers and onions with it and they weren't very well mixed in. Like the omelette, the hash too was swimming in oil. The biscuit that came with it was nice, but a neighboring restaurant serves the same kind of breakfast WITH a biscuit that is much better and fresher. It was a pretty forgettable experience. read more

Shep's Diner - 3 egg omelette with mushrooms and onions, with home fries (added green peppers and onions) and a buttered biscuit - Diners Near Me - Melbourne, Florida

They are the first little restaurant ive been to since i moved from Miami. Great customer service and great food! I love it here!

Great local dinner. Owner and staff are very friendly. Shep's is one of the few places in town that knows how to cook a burger to the doneness that was ordered. Reasonable prices, friendly service, good food - that is the reason I keep coming back! read more

We tried Shep's for the first time on a Saturday morning before heading home after visiting our son, a student at Florida Tech. This is by far the best breakfast you can get in Melbourne! The pancakes, grilled homemade biscuits & fresh eggs are delicious and the portions are enormous! The staff are very friendly & we even met the owner while he was making his rounds refilling coffee cups. Highly recommend! read more

Delicious lunch and great service, would definitely return for lunch or breakfast. I had the fish fry which was excellent and my husband the bacon burger. The meals were large, I personally think it can be shared. read more

Shep's Diner - The service was very good and the food was plenty and delicious. We had lunch but would definitely return for breakfast. - Diners Near Me - Melbourne, Florida

Hi we ate breakfast here today. Excellent service and excellent food. We would eat here again. Very easy to find. Very easy on the wallet.

Shep's is a no pretense, comfort-food Diner. They keep it simple, with well prepared selections, friendly service and reasonable pricing. Breakfast is our favorite there. Shorty's Country Fried Steak Omelet is my favorite! Fluffy and perfect. Choose hash brown's & grilled biscuit, and you have sure winner! The Breakfast Burrito Bowl is well balanced and delicious. We've also enjoyed their pancakes, large, tender and very enjoyable. We've been back many times, and will continue to do so. Also nice to have a great breakfast without getting hit with an inflated bill at the end. read more

Fish Fry Friday was yummy! Our food was fresh and everything was delicious! Their menu was great and we can't wait to try more of it! Laura was our waitress and took great care of us! David the owner stopped by to make sure we enjoyed our meal. We love the diner and the music was perfect!we definitely will be a regular customer! read more

Just drove all the way from New Jersey with my girlfriend whose parents live in Melbourne, this was our FIRST stop. Let me say that this place is OUTSTANDING. Clean, excellent service, food was delicious and fresh! The owner came personally to each table to ask how everything was. This is how you do hospitality! Bravo! PS: The portion sizes are quite generous! read more

Awesome place for home cooked breakfast! I had a mushroom and cheese omelet with hash browns and a grilled biscuit. It was extremely fillings and very good. My friend had the He Man breakfast. The pancakes were enormous. Server was extremely kind and they weren't pushing out of our table to turn over. I'll be back. read more

Shep's food is definitely home cooking but the place needs to get redone. The servers are very attentive and definitely work hard. There's lot of good things on the menu, including the free mimosas on the weekend. They're small but hey, they're free! Don't expect huge plates and loads of food, but what you get, will be great! read more

Saturday morning breakfast for two. Greeted and seated quickly. A nice surprise was the offer of a complimentary Mimosa or Bloody Mary. We had a chance to try both (and the coffee) before our meal arrived in a reasonable amount of time (for a full, busy diner). I love a place where someone on the staff (maybe not your server) comes around with fresh coffee (though it is "diner coffee")! People complain of smaller portion sizes but it happens everywhere (check the size of your bag of chips; the amount of ketchup you're buying; the amount of laundry detergent in that container). A small reduction in size helps reign in costs and prevents a price increase. The portions are probably appropriate and a healthy size but as Americans we've come to expect overflowing plates. There are places that offer larger portions but those portions come at a higher cost. If you're surprised by the cost when paying cash why not ask the server or cashier or owner at the point of sale. Dinging someplace in a review is too late. Just a thought. The food was tasty and hot and the service was fast and friendly and it's not a chain with chain store pricing. We're fortunate to be able to try different places with regularity. To some places we will never return due to service, cleanliness, or food prep. Shep's is a place to which we will happily return. Shout out to our server, Nancy, and the rest of the friendly staff. Food: 4. 5 star Coffee: 3.5 star Service: 5 star Complimentary drinks: 4 star taste; gesture 5 star Cleanliness: 5 star read more

We usually have breakfast here. Wanted home cooking and no fanfare. We got just that. Friday evening fish fry could not be better with a side salad and black eyed peas. The bill was less than a couple of craft beers. We will be back for breakfast (most likely in the morning) and dinner too! read more

Of course a local favorite and has a lot to be desired on the décor the food is OK the service is OK definitely if you want to just get a local feel of the neighborhood and a local feel of the people definitely go there not anything really that special read more

Simple, always great, friendly, consistent service. A true neighborhood diner. Whether you are a once a week or more customer, or you drop in 6 months later-- someone will remember you and greet you like it was just the other day. The food is yummy and always hot, the patrons make eye contact say hi or nod! Love it! read more

Pretty old school diner. Decent food. Very inexpensive. My friend from the area knows the family that owns it. They work hard to keep it nice and to keep costs down. My friend knew the person painting the outside with one of the bright colors. Support this place. read more

Shep's Diner - A view of the counter bar with the locals. - Diners Near Me - Melbourne, Florida

This place was great waitresses were sweet and on it! Food was fresh and delicious. They made my kid chicken fingers from scratch! The service was really on point. I love it when it's simple fresh food and done right, this hits all those marks Updated: 4/6/16 Christie was the bomb, our service was spotless and the food was sooo good! My mother said the biscuit was one of the best she ever had. The manager/owner checked us, all the other servers were also attentive. This place is awesome. read more

Order a bacon cheeseburger and they forgot the bacon and there was something floating around in my drink.

one Thing is I absolutely LOVE to support small places like these. But this time I will never go back to support this place. I am an addict of dunkin Donuts iced coffee. My mother invited me here and I was on my way with my Dunkin in hands half way. I entered this place and got one lil small drink that's half way done they told me either throw out the drink or I have to leave! Really?!? I spend 100s of dollars here in this place and for one drink that's half way (I did not want to leave it in my car because ice will melt) and always give a GREATTT TIP. Will not put up with ignorance. If I'm going to spend more then 40 dollars + 20 plus in tip for breakfast I will go elsewhere. I've gone to other breakfast places and they NEVER TOLD ME ANYTHING! People ARE Ridiculous read more
