Cheers was a place I kept seeing in the strip plaza where the Publix I use while vacationing nearby…read morewas located. I stopped in on an early evening and was immediately welcomed by the convivial owner Jojo. They had a trivia contest going on emcee'd by Casper ( who was the proprietor of the bait store I'd been using). It all had that kinda beach bar vibe, only in a strip mall. The food was basic bar food and I didn't expect anything more other than basic comfort, which was provided. It was a nice diversion to have during our vacation.

A great lil Mediterranean spot in Indialantic FL…read more We were looking for something fresh and easy to eat with a few friends while we were in Melbourne and after a quick search on Yelp, we found Lily's! We all love Mediterranean food and this was a great pick. We were seated super quickly during a lunch on the weekend. The inside was quaint and clean. We all shared a few dishes- Lily's Ultimate Hummus, Lily's Mixed platter and the best friend's platter. This offered a good variety of things to share, from shrimp, to beef, to chicken. The rice was good and complimented the proteins well. The hummus was also plentiful and delicious! A great spot to eat Mediterranean food in the area by the beach!

Beachside Cafe in Indialantic was a great breakfast stop…read more The wait was short and easy, the staff was friendly, and there was a unique "all for one" feeling from the team. Everyone seemed attentive, helpful, and focused on making sure guests were taken care of. I had the biscuits and gravy, and it was delicious. It was so good I had to order an extra biscuit. My friend had a classic eggs, bacon, toast, and fruit breakfast, and it looked great as well. One thing that really stood out was the attention to detail. The staff made sure our coffee cups never fell below the halfway mark, which is always appreciated at breakfast. The location is excellent, right across from the beach in Indialantic. Parking was a little tight, but we managed. Great food, friendly service, and a really nice beachside breakfast spot. Solid five stars.

Fresh, Healthy Lunch Spot by the Beach…read more Such a great little place for a light and healthy lunch, especially if you're spending the day near the beach. The menu has plenty of fresh options, but the wraps were the standout--packed with flavor, super fresh ingredients, and just the right size to leave you satisfied without feeling heavy. It's the kind of spot where you can grab something delicious and still feel good about what you're eating. What made it great: * Fresh, healthy choices that don't taste "healthy"--just really good * Wraps that are flavorful, well‑made, and actually filling * Quick service, perfect for a beach-day lunch * Easy to get to, just steps from the water It's definitely worth checking out if you're in the area and want something tasty without the guilt. I'd absolutely stop here again on my next beach day.

Wow the memories of my youth flooded back being in a space I used to hang out in when it was…read moreShagg's surf shop. The decor paid homage to the surf roots with a bit of skater vide too. Plenty of seating and the area near the counter seems to be a bit cooler. An extensive menu with plenty of choices. I settled on the T Street wrap which was chicken salad in a spinach tortilla with carrots spinach and avocado. Flavor was pretty good and plenty of crunch from the carrots. The chicken salad was a tad dry for me so next time I will ask for extra mayo to add in. It came with tortilla chips (from a bag I would imagine and they tasted like it) and some of their homemade beet hummus. A hard pass next time. Not my thing apparently. Also it says it comes with tomato. Missing on my wrap. Just noticed reviewing the menu. That may have helped with the dryness. They had a cooler that had drinks in it, but the bottle of tea I grabbed was warm. They also have a thing of water you can help yourself to. But it could have used some ice. It was room temp. But free. Busy cafe and they were pumping out the food and drinks. Coffee drinks appeared to be very popular from my vantage point. Gonna have to give it a go again and try a bowl. Normally I would have only done three stars but the staff was very friendly and smiled when they brought my food to me, extra star for the vibe.

Carmen's Restaurant and Catering 2280 Harris Ave NE Palm Bay, FL 32905…read more 4 Stars After what appeared to be a mistake in my last Jamaican joint review (whoa, that has a few connotations), I thought I was being punished by immediately being sent to another one by my random name generator. After smacking it on the side a few times and shaking it, I found it to be working correctly, so I proceeded to Carmen's Restaurant and Catering in Palm Bay, FL. What a world of difference! Carmen is the proprietor and a one-woman show and boyo, let me tell ya, she sure shines. I found Carmen's menu to be a joy to behold, as eclectic as my vinyl collection. As such, I decided to go in a different direction today and steered away from the traditional Jamaican fare such as Jerk Chicken and Curried Goat and went with an order of Carmen's Fried Chicken with sides of rice, beans and potato salad along with an order of her Bang Bang Fried Shrimp Tacos (the same name as the drek at the horrid Bonefish Grill) with fries. As Carmen got to work on my eats, I took in the interior. I found it to be open, welcoming, bright, and cheery, not unlike the owner! Carmen was out in no time with my foodstuffs. Taking a few before pictures, I got to work. I turned my attention and palate to the Fried Chicken. The first thing I noticed was the crunch of the coating. If you look at the picture I've attached, you can see what I mean. That coating was slathered on without care for conservation. It wasn't too much, it was just enough. The chicken, blanketed in a tender, juicy, succulent coating, tasted superb. The rice and beans were well-cooked and seasoned with love. The potato salad, like everything else, I assume was made by Carmen and if your Grandmother makes a better potato salad, I will eat these words! I can't speak for you, but when I hear or read the words, Bang Bang, I immediately think of three things. First, playing cops and robbers as a child and "shooting" the bad guy with my finger gun while shouting, "Bang! Bang!" The second is the Bollywood bad remake of a worse film, "Bang Bang!" The third thing I think of is Chinese Street Chicken. None of this has anything to do with Carmen's Bang Bang Fried Shrimp Tacos, other than the Bang Bang sauce is loosely based on the Chinese Street Chicken tossing sauce. Carmen's Bang Bang sauce was a mixture of mayo, spicy stuff and it was mahvalous, dahling! The shrimp were coated with the same love and care as the chicken and were just as tender and juicy. Got Dayum! Carmen knows her way around a kitchen. I can only assume these are her recipes as well. She should open a restaurant and share this with...oh, wait. Never mind. With this meal and the success of the Fried Chicken at Cajun Soul, my hopes have been raised considerably. The Big Boy says, "If you want good eats served with love and a friendly smile, visit Carmen. Tell her the Big Boy sent ya (it's safe this time)!"

This place just opened in May 2024. Their Jerk Chicken was fantastic. My mouth was on fire with the…read moreheat and flavors of the jerk seasoning. If you have ever been to Jamaica, then you would love the food here. I even got their beef patties with sauce. I could make a meal with those alone. They are so good. Well packed with meat and flavor, the sauce just adds to it and takes it over the top.When we finished, I had a very happy tummy. There is more I want to try, so I will definitely be going back. They have signs that they do a Sunday brunch and will have to give that a try. If you use credit or debit cards they do add a 4% fee. Have noticed a lot of places are doing that now. Just another reason to carry some cash. But even if you don't 4% really isn't that back as their food is worth it. Stop in give they a try.

No one loves a sandwich more than I do. So when a place like Terra Craft Sandwiches decides to…read morededicate itself entirely to the craft? That's the kind of commitment that deserves respect... The French onion grilled cheese isn't just a menu item, it's a moment. The kind that forces you to pause mid-bite and reassess life. Gooey, unapologetically rich cheese melted into perfectly chewy sourdough, delivering that deep, savory French onion flavor in every bite. It's indulgent without being sloppy, bold without trying too hard. And yes, it comes with au jus--but here's the thing: it's almost not needed. Almost. That sandwich stands on its own. This is the kind of place that makes you excited about what else is on the menu... while also making it incredibly difficult to order anything else. Because how do you not go back to something that already feels like the peak? Terra isn't just making sandwiches--they're making arguments for why sandwiches might be the most perfect food we have.

Very impressed by this local breakfast spot in Melbourne with prices that can't be beat! We met up…read morewith an old friend to catch up while we were in the area, and he recommended this place. They have the hot griddles built into the tables so that you can make your own pancakes which is what they're known for. We didn't have to wait for a table and the service was pretty quick. I started with a blood orange mimosa (only $6.95) and it was a very generous size. For my entree, I got the 2-pancake stack breakfast combo. I opted for the lemon poppyseed pancakes (which the kitchen cooks), cheesy eggs, and bacon. My husband got the southern breakfast, and our friend got one of their scramble skillets. Everything was amazing!

So good! We came across this based on the stars on Yelp. Spot on. This is a hipster pace for sure,…read morebut even us old folks felt welcomed by the staff and other diners. I joke of course, hipster is the theme, but of course they welcome everyone. And everyone should come. Staff is great. The place is clean and we loved the decor. Mostly, we loved our dishes. I had the shaved ribeye. Perfectly cooked and seasoned. Loved the roll and Cole slaw. Now if they had some creamy horseradish for it, homerun. All in all, an excellent Sammy. My wife had the pulled pork Bennie. I am not a fan of pulled pork, but I must admit my fork wandered over to the plate a few times. She loved the dish as well. It was so big, we took half home. And there is where I may have finished it without permission. LOL. I really wish Yelp had the half star option. 4 1/2 is more appropriate. Go here. You won't be disappointed.
