    OMG this place is amazing! Don't be afraid of the gas station vibe. The food is real and great. That smell on US 1 is not Rib City it's from this place on the other side of the road, Big Dogs. The pulled chicken sandwich is very moist and tasty, not dry at all. The ribs were tougher I was expecting but still very good. I will say the whole Family was burping "smoke" all night long and there were comments of regret. I think moving forward will Stick with the pulled sandwiches, but we will go back soon. I thing to add. Bring wet wipes unless you want to use the gas station bathroom.

    No big dogs or any dogs could be found here. :) It's highly amusing that Big Dog BBQ is right across the street from Rib City. I came here because of all the great reviews from people on the job site south of here. They have a good reputation for having really good ribs. The big question, are there ribs better than Rib City? And the hands down answer is yes! You can see from the picture that these are a monster size rib bones. They're served as a dry rub with barbecue sauce on the side so you can drench it the way you like it. Big dog is a little food shock in the gas station parking lot. Don't let this deter you because this is not your average gas station food. It's a much better quality however the high food truck like prices will stop me from becoming a regular here. The service was good and friendly staff was also nice and will talk to you while you're waiting. There's a place where you can sit down and eat but you will be sitting outside luckily it's a little shady so that does help with outside temperature as well.

    Bbq was below average. Ambiance is trailer in a convenience store car park. Service was good and friendly.

    Do yourself a favor and drive across the street to rib city. Waste of money. Brisket wasn't edible.

The service, food, and atmosphere were all pretty average, but overall it was a good experience. It definitely seems like a local spot, with plenty of regulars coming through. They have a good selection of fresh fish, and the prices are pretty reasonable for what you get. Nothing necessarily blew me away, but there wasn't much to complain about either. A solid, casual place for fresh seafood at a fair price. I'd definitely return.

Living in Melbourne, I do not often drive that far south, but it was such a beautiful day that it felt like the perfect time to go. The waterside setting is wonderful and the outdoor dining creates a relaxing and scenic experience. I ordered the Reuben sandwich from the specials menu and it was excellent. It was very busy during our visit, which shows how popular the place is, but everything still came out tasting great. I was surprised to see the sandwich priced at over twenty four dollars on the final bill, so I would recommend being aware that some items can be on the pricey side. My husband had the hand breaded chicken tenders with french fries. He said both the tenders and the fries were excellent and the tenders were very large. We each ordered a cocktail. He had the Super Margarita - it was strong and very good. I had the Pusser's Painkiller. The flavor was great, but the chunks of coconut made it difficult to drink near the end because the straw kept pulling in the coconut pieces. It was not a complaint, more of a challenge, and I ended up not finishing it. The outdoor seating has plenty of picnic tables and high tops. We were seated at a high top and enjoyed the view, but the flies were overwhelming, which made that part a bit distracting. Even with that, the service was excellent and very friendly. Overall, it was a very good first visit with great food, strong cocktails, and a beautiful waterfront setting. I am glad we finally went and would return again, especially on a nice day.

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.

Band booked, house packed, and not one square foot of surface a motorcycle can safely sit on. Just sand. Meanwhile the only real pavement on the property got carved up into spots for the new liquor store -- so the retail counter gets the concrete and the riders who made this place what it is get told to go park in the dirt. That's the whole business model in one night: sell the biker bar image, spend the money on the register that isn't ours. I'm not laying a $40,000 bike down in your parking lot so you can move another handle of vodka. Neither should anybody else. Pave it, gravel it, lay millings, do literally anything -- or stop calling this a motorcycle bar, because it isn't one.

    Something of the unexpected. We were leaving Palm Bay, haven't eaten lunch and wanted to eat…read moresomething that we have not eaten. We have Sonny's back home, but never tried it. We flipped a coin and it was Sonny's for the win. We entered the establishment, pretty new restaurant. We were quickly seated. The restaurant can sit 40-50 people at a time. We ordered picked 3 meats. Brisket was an extra charge and so were the ribs. The sides we ended up with were green beans and baked beans. The food arrived promptly. All was warm to taste. I took a piece of rib, brisket and chicken tried all the flavors of the barbeque sauces. First impressions are everything. Brisket was tender, chicken was amazingly juicy and not dry. The baked beans and green beans were both cooked correctly. Would I say come again? But of course.

    **OVERALL REVIEW**…read more On the Space Coast (Brevad County), there are currently three locations for Sonny's BBQ. Two of them are within central to north-central Brevard. Ergo, anyone living in Melbourne and heading southbound, it is a bit of a drive to get to them. That is why the Sonny's BBQ located in Malabar is technically an "essential" spot for patrons, especially those who are fans. For a Sonny's BBQ (which I will shorthand simply to Sonny's for the rest of this review), this location is mediocre to okay, depending on who is on staff and the time of day. But rest assured, there are many other better BBQ spots to go to especially one exit up heading northbound on I-95 to Palm Bay Rd. But if you have to eat at Sonny's for any reason, you can easily navigate the menu for a decent meal at a decent price. Though an address is provided, Sonny's is located on the southside of Malabar Rd., just west of I-95 They are located just west of the Walmart Supercenter at their traffic light. Starting with their decor and ambiance, they have melded both their traditional western/southern BBQ style with modernization. So imagine barnwood paneling and barn sliding doors, but with a modern layout, color scheme, and art decor. For today's standards, visually okay but the floor is opened to provide more seating. Most of the serving staff have been good, and the latest one is a girl named Ling, who did here best to keep up with all of us given the fact the floor was short-staffed. The menu has been minimized to optioned choices that include chicken, turkey, brisket, ribs, steak, and pork, cooked in many ways for variety. At times, the pulled pork and brisket would be too dry, at other times, just right, but given the amount of sauce per meal, it is manageable. As for stand-alone meals, I had many of their sandwiches and they are good, but the what they call a Cuban sandwich is not traditional in any sense. For hardcore Cuban sandwich connoisiers, they may even go as far to call it an abomination. Thankfully, the price of the food is within the average of most BBQ places these days, ranging from $12 to $20 on average, cheaper for certain meals and more expensive for bigger meal sets such as family feasts. Sidenote: The restfrooms were clean as they can be for a restaurant that is on average busy. No real messes, and TP and hand towels are stocked. I am going to give Sonny's an overall average from all my subsequent visits three-out-of-four stars. They are a-okay, but they don't stand out amongst other Sonny's BBQ locations let along there are other places that do a far better job than they do, but they happen to also be mom n' pop locations, too. Ultimately, this Sonny's BBQ is good in accordance with what you expect with a national chain like them.
