What's not to love?! The bartenders in here are always so warm and friendly. So even though we…read moredon't come in more than a couple times a year, we always feel like regulars. Just had beers at this visit, and they were ICE COLD! But last time we came we had the wings. Let me tell you! I used to own a bar in Dallas that legit had the best wings in town. Well - this is the only place in town that I feel could compete with what we used to make. SUPER crispy and amazing flavor. Not weird or chewy. Just spot on. I wish this spot could expand a little so it wasn't such a straight shot interior. It would be nice if there were more cozy spaces and corners to relax in for awhile. But that's my only complaint. You feel a little exposed at the bar, which makes it feel a little less neighborhood bar and a little more strip mall casual eatery. But it is what it is! If they ever get an opp to expand they should. Need to go back asap cuz now I'm craving those wings!

They don't have liquor, just beer and wine. Service was great, food came out fast. Knocked a star because the wings had a hint of fish flavor. They are either using the same coating pile to batter the fish as they do the chicken wings or their oil is very old and they cook tons of fish in it. Probably won't return here.

Excellent Smoked Wings and Great Happy Hour Spot…read more Stopped by Broken Barrel Tavern at Palm Bay Road and Babcock and had a great experience. Service was prompt and friendly, and the happy hour specials made it an even better value. I ordered the wing basket with 8 smoked wings and onion petals. The onion petals were crispy, flavorful, and paired perfectly with the spicy remoulade sauce. For the wings, I tried both the Carolina Vinegar and the Hot Garlic flavors. The smoked wings themselves were outstanding, and the Hot Garlic sauce was especially memorable because it featured real garlic, which added incredible flavor. These are definitely wings I will come back for and highly recommend to anyone visiting. My partner ordered the BBQ pulled pork quesadillas with seasoned fries. The fries were more like freshly cut chips, nicely seasoned and delicious, and the quesadillas were excellent as well. Overall, Broken Barrel Tavern delivered great food, quick service, and a relaxed atmosphere. If you're in the Melbourne area and looking for outstanding smoked wings, this place is absolutely worth a visit. We'll definitely be back.

This is an old establish and it shows. Really it a bar that serves BBQ…read more I had heard about this place from my previous job was just down the road. Popular for team building events. Went for lunch on a Friday and they had two servers and only one working the dining area. We sat in the very dark dining area. Every surface was painted black. Lighting was pretty poor and it was hard to read the menus. Ordered a pulled pork platter and a pulled pork sandwich. They both came with "fried chips" and the platter had another side and we chose beans. Bourbon Bbq sauce was our choice. The pork was good. Good portions on both sandwich and platter. Beans had some "heat" which I don't favor but my son really liked. The chip fries or fried chips - whichever they call them were seasoned with a garlic salt it tasted like. However they could have used about another minute I the fryer. The bigger ones were raw in the middle. May have been a byproduct of a large party in their event room throwing off their timing. But if cooked a bit more they would be a unique side for the area and good. Server was stretched thin. Freshens my son's drink but not mine until he brought the check. By then meal was over. I had water. Not difficult. Rib special looked good from a distance and I heard they are known for wings. Maybe next time. Noticed there is a private room for events that most restaurants do not have. So a point to consider.

I'm a bit bummed about a couple of changes to Longdogger's latest menu. Here's what I noticed:…read more 1. The "New! Fried Grouper" with grouper "nugs" feels like a step back from the old fried grouper basket. The nuggets are tasty, but the filets were just so much better. 2. The "Totally Tacos" (shrimp version) now has only 3 shrimp each, which is a bit less than the 4 on the old menu. We checked with our waitress, and it turns out this is a real change, not just a mistake. To be clear, Longdogger's is still one of our favorite spots to eat in the Space Coast. We really enjoy the food, and the staff is always so friendly and professional.

Not sure what it is but it was appreciated.

I always order the sauces on the side because I like to see the crispiness. They make sure they include plenty of napkins, wipes, and the correct sauces. The tots are consistently hot and crispy, the staff is friendly, and our order is always ready on time. That consistency and friendliness are the main reason for the four-star rating. It's just a great little spot that we can depend on.

Did not see my order on the board so I asked about it. The guy behind the counter said I will get on it right away. And he did. Apparently I came at shift change and he walked out right after. But my order was finished by his relief. Came out hot and all but the only neg would be the fries. Potato crisps not fries. Almost all were inedible since they were so hard and crunchy. And not crunchy on the outside soft in the middle. Hard throughout. Staff is always friendly and I appreciate that. Extra star for good staff.

As someone who grew up in Kansas City and spent years in Texas, I don't throw around barbecue…read morecompliments lightly. We visited Charlie & Jake's on Father's Day and first impressions were great. The place was spotless, had that rustic barbecue-joint vibe, and despite the holiday crowd, we were seated quickly and greeted right away by a friendly, professional server. Service was pleasant, but our drinks seemed to be playing hide-and-seek. We had to ask for refills every single time we wanted one. Not a dealbreaker, but noticeable. Food came out quickly. My husband ordered the smoked Old Fashioned, which arrived with enough dramatic presentation to make nearby tables stop and stare. Absolutely worth ordering. A small hiccup: when I unwrapped my utensils, the knife appeared to have some sort of residue on it. Since I didn't actually need the knife, I didn't ask for a replacement, but it was worth mentioning. Now let's talk about the star of the show: the smoked chicken. Holy smoke signals, Batman. This was hands-down the best smoked chicken I've ever eaten. Moist, flavorful, perfectly cooked. I would happily order it every week and never get tired of it. My sides were collard greens and a baked sweet potato, both served in adorable metal measuring cups. The sweet potato was good. The greens were fine, but could have used a little more seasoning and personality. My husband ordered one of the meat platters. He enjoyed it, but there wasn't anything that inspired a speech, tears, or vows of lifelong devotion. The toast, however, nearly drowned itself in butter. I wasn't aware bread could absorb that much liquid and still maintain structural integrity. It was literally dripping when he took a bite. Somewhere between toast and sponge. My hush puppies were unfortunately the low point of the meal. They tasted like someone mixed flour and water, formed little balls, and introduced them to a deep fryer. They desperately needed seasoning and I didn't finish them. The fried pickle appetizer was excellent and the portion was generous enough to feed a small pickle-loving village. When the server dropped off the check, we politely declined. We don't leave restaurants without dessert unless there's a natural disaster involved. My husband ordered the banana pudding, which came in a cute square glass container and was very enjoyable. My daughter ordered the peach cobbler. Calling it "peach" felt a little optimistic. There were approximately two peach slices in a mountain of cobbler topping. She loves crust, so she wasn't upset, but if you're expecting fruit, bring a magnifying glass. The filling itself could have used more flavor and some warm spices, and it was absolutely swimming in caramel sauce. A good vanilla bean ice cream would have elevated the whole thing. My son ordered the peanut butter chocolate pie and immediately entered a state of dessert enlightenment. Deep peanut butter flavor, rich chocolate, absolutely fantastic. Final takeaway: Order the smoked Old Fashioned. Order the smoked chicken. Order the peanut butter chocolate pie. Maybe don't order the hush puppies unless they've found a spice rack since Father's Day. Overall, a clean restaurant, friendly service, excellent atmosphere, and a few standout menu items that are worth coming back for.

**INITIAL REVIEW**…read more When it comes to fried chicken restaurants within South Brevard, we are limited in our choices if you don't include fried chicken cooked and served in Publix or New York Style Chinese Food restaurants. Ergo, Krispy Krunchy Chicken (which I will shorthand simply to Krispy Krunchy for the remainder of this review) is a bit of an anomaly. Reason why I say the aforementioned about Krispy Krunchy is the fact they are not big enough to have their own brick-n-mortar location, but they are technically an independent business despite piggy-backing space at gas stations and convenient stores. But don't get it twisted. Despite only being based inside of said gas stations and convenience stores, Krispy Krunchy makes some decent fried chicken, both on-the-bone which is primarily drumsticks and shoulders, and tenders. Not only that, they have a decent set of sides that can make dining from Krispy Krunchy a complete meal for the family. Though an address is provided, Krispy Krunchy is located in Diya Food Store within a strip mall on Jupiter Blvd. You have to go inside the convenience store to order their food as it is treated as part of the "food options" of the convenience store. Nevertheless, the food you get for the price you pay, not bad at all. There is fried chicken, biscuits, potato wedges, jambalaya, macaroni n' cheese, red beans and rice, mashed potatoes and gravy, and more. They even have empanadas and other goodies, too, but I stuck with the basic chicken dinner fixins'. The price for 12 pieces of chicken, three sides, six biscuits was about $30. Not bad at all given its locale and the nearest official fried chicken place is Popeoye's at the corner of Hollywood Blvd. and Palm Bay Rd. Ultimately, I am going to give Krispy Krunchy Chicken a solid three-out-of-five stars for their rating. Krispy Krunchy is a solid choice for fried chicken fast food in the area for a decent price. Definitely not better than some higher-end choices, but still good.
