Dixie Belle's Grill & Bar 2700 Harbortown Dr., Merritt Island, FL 32952…read more 2.5 Stars This brace house is so far off the beaten path; it would need to be a Michelin-starred restaurant to make the depressing, never-ending drive to BFE, Merritt Island, worth it. Trust me, this place is not even close. The plus at the end is Jean Paul, our waiter. He was so great that by the end of the meal, I asked him if he was forced to work here after losing a bet. He laughed and said, "No." I put in an order for some fish tacos and a Huge double-decker Club sandwich. As stated, Jean Paul was an exceptional waiter, and as such, our food was out quickly and served as ordered. I went from the best fish tacos in Brevard at Island IX to the absolute worst, most foul fish tacos in Brevard, if not the entirety of the Sunshine State. The fish was mealy and tough enough to almost request a galloch knife to dine, the breading flavorless and the tortilla stale. Look at the pictures and tell me those look like they were made with fresh ingredients. The side of fries, while fried to a lovely golden brown, were bottom-of-the-barrel food service tripe and, unless you loaded them with salt, were flavorless. What a combo! Next up on the Big Boys perceptible palate was the Huge Double Decker Club sandwich. This was the saving grace and the reason this was not a Swill Alert. If I had stopped at the appallingly awful fish tacos, it would have been. However, this Huge Double Decker Club was delicious. The bread was toasted to perfection, the bacon was crispy, the tomato was fresh, the lettuce fresh, and the turkey was stacked high. All in all, this was a very good take on the sandwich that has been around since the late 1800s. The side of collard greens, however, is another story. Once again, you have bottom-of-the-barrel food service industrial-strength canned greens. Yuck. They were worse than the greens we got for school lunch. Those were actually not bad. The Big Boy says, "If you get lost out here and haven't eaten in three days, I would still skip this food wasteland."

I went there on Taco Tuesday, Unfortunately even though tacos were the special, they had no taco shells , hard or soft. Their collards had too much sugar . Fried shrimp appeared to have been breaded with grits instead of cornmeal. Hush puppies were raw in the middle. Their cook/chef must have been having an off night. Service was good Casual dining on the water. Will return to give a second chance.

Why is Brevard County sleeping on this place? We popped in…read moretonight for an early dinner and were surprised to only find one other couple there. (Glad to report several more arrived in the time we were there.) The place is adorable, clean and well lit. We ordered several items the hush puppies, garden salad with grilled chicken, the Florida Heat Lobster Roll, and the Connecticut Lobster Roll. The rolls came with fries, baked beans and Coleslaw. We enjoyed everything! The baked beans were Boston style and flavorful. The coleslaw was vinegar based - the way I like it. The rolls were perfect. Misty was our server. She was just attentive enough. Sometimes when restaurants are slow servers will over do it and she was great. She helped us with our selections. The food came fast and hot. I highly recommend this place. We weren't drinking tonight but they also have happy hour M-F.

She had my drink within a minute of ordering and checked on me throughout my meal. The inside is decorated with interesting colors and artwork. It's an inviting place and would be a great place for groups. My Lobster Roll meal came out in a timely manner and looked very good. However unfortunately, there wasn't much taste to it. It was extremely dry. I did order a gluten free bun so maybe that was the problem? Anyway, I was not impressed. The beans, coleslaw, and fries were very good.

In 2025 there was a list of the top 25 cities in the world of which San Francisco was in the top 25.

My mom had the pressed brie sandwich with kale salad and chickpeas. Bella was kind with exceptional recommendations . Besides the vegan cafe.
