Strawberry Tres Leches French Toast
Tonya B.

This restaurant was a nice way to start our day. There wasn't a long wait so we could be seated quickly. Our waitress was kind, patient, and organized in receiving our orders. We had a large group and she was able to manage our group well. The environment was clean, but next time, I would ask for hot water to pre-dip the utensils in to get some of the dishwasher stains off, but nothing a quick wipe couldn't fix. As for the food, we ordered some options off of their summer menu. I especially liked the Strawberry Tres Leche French Toast, Blueberry Lemon Cornbread, and the Million Dollar Bacon. These were the stars of the show! The overall taste of each of these items was great, not too sweet, or moist, I wouldn't change anything about them. Kinda wishing I ordered an additional cornbread to go- I might regret that later... The Bacado was good but I do think the bacon inside was overcooked. I would order the Morning Meditation again. It's a great drink option I would recommend trying, you could taste the beets and turmeric, which was satisfying. A nice spot to bring your family to that has plenty of food options that can be indulgent or healthy if desired.

Came with the kids to try the fall flavors

Breakfast tacos
Kaitlyn S.

Very nicely decorated and great atmosphere. It reminded me of farmhouse chic. Service was wonderful everyone we met was so nice. I loved that they had gluten free options that I didn't have to pay extra for. My husband loved his breakfast tacos. We would go back if we go up to Melbourne on the weekends in the morning. I enjoyed the fact that they also leave you a carafe of coffee so you can just refill as you need.

Shishito Brisket Hash Blistered shishito peppers and smoked, hand-pulled brisket in a potato hash, topped with two cage-free eggs any style,

I had the Shishito Brisket Hash and the Blueberry Lemon Cornbread. The cornbread enough is worth stopping in. It was delicious. My Shishito Hash, however, was out of this world. Kudos to whoever wrote the description because I was sold as soon as I read it. I cannot begin to describe all the flavors. It was absolutely amazing. A lot of ingredients and you can taste every one. Our server was attentive and enjoyable. We don't get there often so I had questions. The place is nice and clean and bright with all the windows. We will go back!

This is the "extra avocado" I got
Suzanne H.

First time here. Busy place, I will come back. Just disappointed in the dry turkey sausage and the fact that I asked for avocado on top of my omelette and you'll see I only got 2 tiny slices. When I asked for more avocado I only got 2 more little slices! I forgot to check the bill to see what I was charged for the "extra" avocado. But it would probably have made me mad anyway.

Superfood bowl
Bridget H.

The place was packed with people, but that's a sunday at 10am for you. Despite this ai felt well tended to, our server was sweet and prompt and our food came out probably within 10 minutes. The food was delicious and the manager seemed very involved with not only the staff but the customers as well which is always nice to see.

Biscuits and gravy
Regina R.

We were so excited to find a First Watch while on our vacation so we went there for breakfast. I ordered the Carne asada hash and my husband had the biscuits and gravy- it was outstanding. We loved it so much we came back the next day and ordered the same thing before heading out for a long day at WDW. We first discovered First Watch restaurants while on a cross country road trip. One of their "things" is their million dollar bacon which we ordered a side of- it's delicious. Yummy bacon drizzled with maple syrup. If you have a chance to eat here- I say Do It!

The Spring Menu.

See all

Backwater

So we found ourselves visiting family for Christmas this week in Melbourne, Florida former stomping…read moregrounds of Jim Morrison for you Doors fans. We got up early on Christmas Eve and opted to find a cool breakfast place. After a few minutes in Yelp, we found Backwater which is nestled in Historic Downtown Melbourne. Parking should not be a problem but if you can't find some on your he street their is a public parking garage not to far away. Upon arrival we were seated pretty quickly and all the staff were very friendly. Our server Amy was awesome and recommended a few breakfast items that were awesome. We opted for the Greek breakfast and the Cuban Benedict which were both fresh and excellent. We also split their seasonal Cinammon pancake as well which was great as well. Pancakes are huge so make sure you leave some room if you plan on having one. All portions were healthy as well, no skimping at Backwater and everyone was in the Christmas spirit as well which was awesome! The atmosphere is friendly, laid back and welcoming which is great if you are from out of Town. So if you are in the area, make sure you check them out for breakfast or lunch. I am sure you will not be disappointed! So in fact he spirit of the holiday I will adjust my customary ending to say Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah and a prosperous and blessed Happy New Year to all of you! Enjoy and Bon Appétit mes amis!

Wowowow! Friendly staff and incredible food!…read moreHad the Monte Cristo which was fluffy, toasty, heaven. Home fries were nice and crispy. Super casual interior and smell of yummy pancakes all over. Prices couldn't be beat either! Will be back when traveling through this part of FL next

The Roots Restaurant Tavern - Cowboy Burger Lunch

The Roots Restaurant Tavern

**INITIAL REVIEW**…read more Most of my fellow Yelpers know if food were categorized by a genre, breakfast and brunch has a special place in my heart. Ergo, I am on the constant search for more breakfast and brunch places to add to my repertoire. With that in mind, I must stress that Historic Downtown Melbourne a.k.a. Melbourne Main Street has an amazing number of breakfast and brunch places. But the one I admire the most is The Roots Restaurant Tavern, which I will shorthand simply to The Roots for the remainder of this review. Though an address is provided, it must be stressed The Roots is a little "off the mainstreet" of Melbourne Main Street. Just west of the train tracks, the road splits in which the northernly direction is the continuation of New Haven Ave. or the actual Melbourne Main Street. The Roots is on the southern road, right next to The Iron Oak. Take note that The Roots is quite a cozy location. On the outside, The Roots has this look of an old saloon out in the wild west. There are a few tables and chairs for outdoor seating, excellent for people-viewing while eating your meal. Inside, The Roots looks delightfully tacky with all the knick-knacks hanging around and about on the walls. Imagine how Cracker Barrel used to look before the new CEO decided the decor should be more minimalist. But my statement on how The Roots looks small from the outside definitely shows when you are inside, too. The place is small. They definitely utilize the space as best they could, with large party seating being in the back for only one party. Still, take note of this limitation. My waitresses were very kind and attentive when serving me. But I am sure you all want to know about the food. The times I have eaten here, I have had three meals: The Eggs Benny Flight, and Pancake Flight, and Shrimp n' Grits. I will detail each in the pictures of food (if I have them), but I will say that everything here was delicious. My one lone criticism is that some of these flights are best enjoyed with another, not by yourself. On a sidenote, the restroom is clean and stocked, but there is only one and it is unisex. As I said earlier, The Roots is the best breakfast and brunch restaurant, well for me, in Historic Downtown Melbourne. So it is understandable why I am giving them a five-out-of-five stars for their review. Food, service, and ambiance are all excellent and the issues are way too minimal for me to consider them having any major affect. If you are ever going to eat at The Roots only once. My suggestion are the flights. Either eggs bennies, pancakes, or mimosas, you can't go wrong with any of them.

It's a cute place and fun to go to. I got the pancake flight and loved I could pick different…read moreflavors
