Nicole Capobianco and Jimbo Carroll of Cafe 66 in southwest Vero Beach, Florida, have excelled in all expectations. Located on the northeast corner of 66th Street and Oslo Road inside Audrey's Feed and Tack, Cafe 66 has not only been a favorite dining spot for breakfast and lunch, but caterer for two major events I've recently staged. Whether the personal birthday party for my 7-year old twins Rebecca and William for dozens of their friends or the political event "All-American Rally" for hundreds of locals within the community, Cafe 66 and their staff have always provided 5-star service. Pulled pork, BBQ ribs, Italian sausage stuffed with tomatoes and cheese, sausage gravy and biscuit, along with swamp cabbage - I enjoy it all. Seeking to cater a party or event for 15 or 150? I would not hesitate to have Nicole and Jimbo be your caterer. Polite and friendly staff - clean establishment with outdoor seating and plenty of parking - 5 stars to Cafe 66 in southwest Vero Beach - just north of the St. Lucie County line. William E.

This review is a 3.5 star review based on my recent experience. Found this place in the middle of no where. I mean its almost like taking a 2 lane road somewhere in Nebraska where you see nothing but cornfields and farms. This is place is literally attached to a building thats a tractor machine & supply/tool shop. A location where your cell phone signal might not work. Not sure if you want to get caught out here after dark. You can walk 30 yards and you're literally next to the cows, where a wire fence is separating the restaurant property and the farm. I thought I saw a cow hold up a sign that said "Eat More Chikin"....I guess they dont have to go far to get the beef. I'm joking...(but i'm not joking). All jokes aside, the place is ok. I like going to the hole-in the walls. Seems pretty peaceful when you can sit, look out of the landscape and catch a nice breeze. The sit down area to eat is cool, rounded tables and benches, under a big umbrella. But i'm not sure if most ppl would be interested in eating outside due to the flies. As i've mentioned the landscape is mainly farm land, and anytime you have this kind of landscape and animals nearby there will be a gang of flies. Its just the nature of the environment. Checked out the menu, saw they had burgers and was like i gotta try their burgers. I've been traveling all throughout Florida looking to find the top 5 burger spots. We were interested in trying the Cubano Burger which had ham, pulled port, swiss cheese, pickles , mayo and mustard and the Ring of Fire Burger which has onion rings, jalapenos, spicy mayo, cheese sauce, lettuce, tomato, and pickles. The combination of each burger are great ideas. Both had a nice soft bun, which is a critical piece when putting together a burger. Great toppings on both. The Ring of Fire Burger is pretty messy because of the cheese sauce (almost like cheese whiz - what they use for Philly Cheese Steaks) that was used on the burger as you can see in the picture. In my opinion what was common in both burgers that would add more taste value would be seasoning the meat. To me this huge...I love flavor, and i didnt get this from the burgers we ordered. The ham on the Cubano Burger gave it a little bit of flavor because pork is naturally salty. But if the cook were to get some good burger seasoning together, i believe this would take their burgers to the next level. The burger was a homemade patty, 1/2 lb, nice, and thick. Just the way i like it. If im ever in the area and came here again, i would request for my burger patty to be seasoned. read more

Home cooked food friendly service. Love the breakfast. The vegetable omelet is one of the best. Reasonable priced. Hot and fresh.

Excellent all around. A pleasant experience from the walk in the door. Service is perfect and quick and appetizers were excellent the chicken wings oh my gosh. Onion rings, best in town, crispy not heavy, tasty sauce and then, there's the brisket and the pulled pork sandwiches with coleslaw on top and sauce and french fries, oh boy, and good service.

Everything is good. I've tried just about everything on the menu. My favorite are the ribs.

This place is an a odd part of town in the middle of nowhere. The funny part is, when we pulled in I though we were walking into a feed store. But nope, off to the side you will find this place. It's a little window so NO dine in option. However, they have out door seating. Stopped in for breakfast and was pleasantly suprised. Biscuits and gravey were spot on and good. My breakfast sandwich was also great. A little prices but the hot food is really good so I'm not complaining what so ever. read more

Food was great! Service was amazing as always! If you like burgers id definitely recommend this burger, The Dump Burger! 10/10! read more

Cafe 66 - 10/10! Absolutely delicious and great price! - Barbeque Near Me - Vero Beach, Florida

A true gem. Lacy and Debra are extremely hospitable. Great for Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner. Never a disappointment. Staff takes great care to ensure that your dining experience is top notch! Don't miss out on the Cinnamon rolls. Absolutely a epicurean delight! read more

Having read so many good reviews, we gave this place a try. First of all, if you want to be assured of a parking space, get there early because it fills up fast! But, even with a full parking lot, we found plenty of seating yet available inside. Our meals were awesome! We tried both the pulled pork and brisket platters. The portions are generous, so arrive hungry. In spite of our best effort, we had plenty of leftovers to take home and enjoy again. We live in Tradition, so Cafe 66 isn't exactly right around the corner, and there are several good restaurants within a 5 or 10 minute drive, yet we will definitely get back to Cafe 66.....well worth the drive! read more

Cafe 66-Vero Beach- 4-Stars "Would you get hip to this kindly tip and take that California trip? Get your kicks on Route 66." -- Chuck Berry When Cafe 66 popped up on my portable eatery fount, my first thought was, "I didn't realize Route 66 went through Vero Beach, FL." Don't bother to check with Google, I can assure you that it does not; therefore, this must be another road trip themed restaurant. "Maybe they'll at least have a good burger," was my final thought on the matter as I hit US1 and pointed the BBDO machine south. Pulling off of the highway and onto Route 606 (Oslo Rd) I headed due West. As I left the coastal area, I couldn't help but feel I was perhaps in the middle of the country as there was nothing but flat pasture land and cows for miles on either side. Did you know that Florida is one of the top 20 beef producing states in the nation coming in at #18? The more you know. As I entered the parking lot for the Cafe (which is attached to a feed store), I did sorta feel like I was on old Route 66 cruisin' from The Windy City to Tinsel Town and stopped somewhere in Missouri for chow. Stepping up to the counter, I realized that other than a few outdoor tables and benches, this place had no inside seating options. Walk up, place your order, grab a bench and wait seemed to be the way to go here. I stepped up to the counter, grabbed a menu and began to dissect it with my eyes. If the fare tasted half as good as it looked on the menu, I was in for a special treat. The creativity took the standard burger to a whole new level, which is hard to do these days with burger joints on almost every corner. I put in an order for one TKO Burger and one Cowboss Brisket Sandwich, a large unsweetened ice tea with sides of fries and coleslaw, respectively. Given the crowd present, the wait for my food was negligible, grabbing the to go containers, I headed out to a bench and plopped my butt down to commence reveiwn'. After one bite of the TKO Burger I knew I was in Beefy Paradise. The ground beef was obviously prime, obviously hand formed, grilled to a perfect medium rare, the bun was toasted and the bacon was, well, bacon. It tasted farm fresh and like the burger was cooked to the absolute perfect degree of doneness. The blue cheese was fresh, delicious and complimented the burger like a Chevy Small Block 283 complimented the '61 Vette. Topped with thick slices of fresh cut tomato, dill pickle angle cut burger chips and fresh onion it was a burger fit for a Highway King. Eyeing the Cowboss Brisket sammich, I could only hope it measured up to the standard set by the TKO Burger. From the bottom up, the bread could be grilled and a tad fresher or perhaps from a different vendor as it did not clear the bar set by the Burger, in fact, it didn't even come close to taking a facial on said bar. However, this fact soon became moot as the meat was again, Beefy Paradise. The Brisket was obviously smokin' for hours in the back as it basically melted in my mouth with so much slow-roasted barbeque goodness. In other words, this meat was the bomb! The sauce was also obviously made on site and not from a bottle or can as it tasted freshly made and complex in its union of flavors. This was now in my top 10 of favorite BBQ sauces. Moving on to the true test of good Southern BBQ, oh who am I kidding, it's all a true test, anyway, on to the coleslaw. The slaw was hand cut, hand shredded, hand made and mixed with an obviously made on site sauce which made this some out of this world slaw! It felt like my palate had hit the Jackpot with this version of the Southern staple. My, my, my but that sauce was tasty, complex, sweet and had a slight bite to the finish. Hark! All ye restauranteurs, THIS is real coleslaw. I would feel remiss if I at least didn't give the tea a passing note. It was brewed fresh on site and like everything else, sans the Brisket bread was the real deal. This place has success written all over it and I sincerely hope they are in business for decades to come. The Big Boy says, "If you are anywhere within 25 miles of Vero, FL., this place is well worth the drive to cow country." #bigboydiningout #iamthebigboy read more

This resturant has gone down hill since it moved from Oslo Road. The quality of food has gone down. I wouldn't go there.

Wonderful food- best barbecue in town. Ample servings- my mom and I are able to share a plate, but I buy 2 so as to enjoy the next day. The Cole slaw is the best I have tasted. Pulled pork and brisket in sandwiches and quesadillas are heavenly! Service is always cheerful, pleasant and fast, and I often take away. Dining is only outside, and when I have the time, I do that, so as to enjoy the pastoral countryside, which is rare, knowing that we are quickly becoming more urban. Cafe 66 is located at Audrey's, which is a beautiful tack and feed store, with many more equine and other related merchandise : everyday AND upscale. For a great food visit Cafe 66. read more

I'm not a rib person. Mainly because most often I am disappointed. BUT NOT TONIGHT! Cafe 66 has done it RIGHT! These ribs were some of the best I've ever had! And the outdoor seating was just perfect for me and my family. read more

Almost don't want to post a review wanting to keep this place a secret!!! This is our favorite go to lunch place, Yum!!!! Taco Tuesday is awesome. Fresh and delicious with a great salsa. I get the beef, y partner the steak. Can't beet the price, two tacos is enough, three if you want a big lunch. Get there before 1230 as they selll out!!! Burgers OMG giant and fresh, The bacon burger has 5-6 strips of fresh cooked bacon! In the mood for salad, the buffalo chicken is packed with chicken and cheese. Hardly light! Feeling like a Cuban. Hope you have someone to share with!! Cuban is delicious with layers of flavors. A Cuban is maybe 24", enough for two!!! Truly special is BBQ!!! Usually but not always on Thursday, omg wow. The brisket melts in your mouth!! The ribs fall off the bone!!! Breakfast is a treat you had better be hungry for! The breakfast sandwich on a biscuit cones with two fried eggs and about half pound of bacon, also a giant bowl of grits!! My only wish, more seating and more shade at pick up window . The rest is perfection read more

First timers today and I was sad to say it was just average. What really turned us off the food runner who brought us our food, she stuck her thumb inside our appetizer while she was delivering it; all while her thumb is in our food. 2 out of the 3 plates we ordered, she brought out, her thumbs were touching our food. She was not wearing gloves and we watched her wipe her thumb off on her shirt as she was walking away. She obviously was aware of doing it. I get that the plates can be hot, but there is safer ways to delivering plates, like using different carrying positions, utilizing a serving tray or more importantly you could have the runners use gloves to avoid the spread of contamination or germs especially during a pandemic. Nobody wants someone else's fingers in the meal they are about to eat. Hopefully this issue will be corrected! read more

If you go here you HAVE to get the cinna pancakes. SO GOOD!! You will absolutely not regret this decision.

Great find!! Stopped for breakfast before grocery shopping. The portions are huge. Food was fresh and delicious. Staff were friendly. Place was clean. It absolutely checked all the boxes for a great experience. I got "The whole enchilada " and should have brought a friend to help me eat it. Fresh sausage hand patted! Sausage gravy is excellent. I would have added a photo but I destroyed it before I thought about it. It's worth the stop and very reasonably priced!! Go!!! read more

Can't ask for better place to get a Cuban sandwich. The atmosphere is the best- fresh air. Quesadillas are really good also. Try them with brisket. This spot will be your favorite once you try it. read more

Amazing breakfast and very clean place. Really enjoyed the chorizo breakfast quesadilla. Be prepared for a crowd as they are always packed

I had the Gringo Burrito and it was awesome. It takes a little bit to get your food but well worth the wait. Thank you Cafe 66. I had breakfast her this morning (7/20/19) and it was wonderful. I had the breakfast burrito with chorizo. The burrito was very large. I also had the half order of sausage gravy and biscuit. You can taste that it was made there. My friend got a side order of sausage patties. These patties were as big as most hamburgers. She said it tasted real good. Thank you again Cafe 66. read more

Best brisket I've ever had and such a great staff. It's always a good experience and even better food.

Every time I come here, the service is super slow. This has been the case the last three times we tried it. The food is fine, but not outstanding. I would say that this restaurant is a B-. Go if you are close and need to grab something, but don't go out of your way. read more

Great omelets! Smiling friendly server. Delicious food. Went there last week and it was great! Husband had biscuits and gravy and he loved it! We will be going back again when we are back in town. read more

My family and I are hear for Baseball Factory; I looked on Yelp to see some nice restaurants in the area with reasonable prices. I looked at the pictures before and we decided to eat at Cafe 66 and they did not disappoint; we had the garbage can fries (don't let the name fool you) we opted to get the brisket on the fries and it was a very good choice. The brisket was smoked and it melts in your mouth (and that's without bbq sauce). I ordered the Gringo Burrito, let's just say I couldn't even finish it. It was a great place to eat and if we come back, we will return to Cafe 66. read more

Food is amazing and I'm sure everything on the menu I would love hands down. Great service. Good for takeout. Awesome food.

Delicious food, wait-staff is fantasic. What a gem. Will definitely come again. When in Vero, you must give it a try.

Ordered approximately $45 worth of food for take out when I arrived they were having internet issues with the credit card system not working. I did not have cash and after about ten minutes of waiting for the system to come back the owner said we could have the order for free. We offered to come back the next day to pay, but the owner said no need to. The portions were big and the food was delicious. Go to Cafe 66 read more

Fantastic BBQ, hamburger, fish fry and prime rib restaurant! We found this restaurant through Yelp and we were not disappointed ( we never are using Yelp). Food is generous portions for the BBQ platter (5 meats to choose from). And when you think you cannot eat another bite.. boom, you see the homemade pies! The restaurant serves beer, wine, sweet teas and soda. Great restaurant! read more

Great food! Taco Tuesday is amazing. Steak and chicken, yum. Can't wait to have again. read more
