    It's been awhile since I've been at this friendly restaurant. When walking in we were acknowledged by a couple of different people and one came over right away to seat us. My Mom hadn't been here in a while either. They have some great specials we decided on the one that comes with a Happy Ending. My Mom had the BLT with tomato soup, I had a toasted cheese with Clam Chowder. When ordering I asked how much extra for the soup, she said a small upcharge. To me a small upcharge is maybe $1-$2 well it was $ 3.99 for one $2.99 which to me seems like we paid for a cup. So because we didn't get fries a small upcharge ended up costing us almost $8 more for lunch! They do have a 1/2 sandwich with soup for $9.99 that's what we almost got and decided against it because the waitress told us there was a small upcharge. The waitress did check on us a few times , handed us a check for someone else then came back and apologized. I have to say we both really enjoyed the sandwiches and the soup. The clam chowder had a bit more potatoes than I like I just picked them out. My mom enjoyed the tomato soup. And I thought the Clam Chowder was very good. And we both got a Happy Ending, which was choice of ice cream and a topping with whipped cream and a cherry. Of course you can't go wrong with friendlys ice cream.

    Nostalgia bought us here and great service and food had us returning 3 more times in a little more than 24 hours! This location has a cute outdated feel to it, but in a great way. It was still very clean. The waitresses we had all were absolutely amazing. They were knowledgeable of their menu and were great with our kids. Our kids want to come back to Melbourne just to go to this restaurant. It is officially their favorite. The food is what you expect and perfectly cooked every time (we should know, we went four times lol). The ice cream is also just as good as we remembered! It was such an amazing feeling and moment watching our kids fall in love with a restaurant that we also loved growing up. 100% would we be back if we could! Thank you to the staff that made what started as a not so special vacation so very special for my kids. We will always be appreciative of it!

    When here today with a friend, I've been here before, but today was really nice. Hardly anyone was here. Our waitress was totally awesome. Had a hamburger without the bun side of fries and a soda and ice cream sundae with chocolate sauce. I usually don't eat this much, but totally enjoyed it for the day being with my friend.

    If I did not have a little one with me who insisted on having a monster Sunday, I would have walked out five minutes into our 14 minute wait at the podium for someone to seat us. I have never heard "someone will be right here to seat you "so many times before. The waitress did come over to take our drink order almost immediately and they were brought right out. We decided not to have lunch since our wait was so long to be seated. I could only imagine how long it would take to get a meal. I almost didn't order anything because my favorite sundae the Reese's peanut butter cup was not on the menu , thankfully I did ask the waitress and they do make it still! Our ice cream was bought out promptly, however there were no napkins on the table, nor did our waitress give us any. Small children need napkins when they eat ice cream I couldn't find our waitress. She never came back to check on us. The people at the the table next to us were looking as well as their children needed napkins. The grandmother from that group went to the bathroom and brought everybody back paper towels from the bathroom. They do provide children with a kids pack that has a color changing spoon in it to go with the ice cream, which was nice.

    Receipt

    Food was fine, service was fine. Until they rip you off on the receipt. Tip price recommendations are over 10% different than what they should be. Absolutely shady. Just based on that we won't go back.

    Incredible!!! We tried Surfin Turtle for the first time and it did not disappoint…read more I had the sugar-free vanilla (because I'm pretending to be responsible), my husband went with peanut butter banana coffee (which he immediately declared "the best decision I've made all week"), our daughter chose the bright blue cookies ice cream that looked like it came straight out of a cartoon, and our son ordered the TikTok Dr Pepper with Dippin' Dots drink... which appears to be engineered specifically to make kids bounce off the walls. There's plenty of outdoor seating, and the turtle habitat is awesome. We spent half the time watching the turtles and the other half trying to decide whose treat was the best. Ordering is super easy with the QR code, and they even have a rewards program, which is great because we clearly plan to become regulars. We're new to Satellite Beach, and finding this place feels like discovering a local treasure. Our only problem now is figuring out how often we can come here before it becomes a personality trait. We'll definitely be back!

    At Urban Tea, there are various drink and food options, including Boba, handcrafted energy drinks,…read moredirty soda, ice cream, acai bowls, espresso, and bottled water. When I first visited Urban Tea in Indian Harbour Beach, I tried the A1A Boba, which is delightful. I also tried the acai bowls like the Pink Dragon and The Tropics. I recommend these bowls to anyone who has never tried acai bowls. Service is hit or miss. I truly wish the management team would fix this, ensuring everything runs smoothly from the time the order is placed to when the drink or food is made and handed to the customer or guest. The ambiance combines a beach vibe with flavorful drinks.

    Ok. Boba. Why should I Fett or do I mean fret? I have been three times. And it has gone down hill…read more First time I am pretty sure it was the owner who made our drinks. Very good. Now the last two times have been the same person. This last time we got three different drinks. Mine was one of their energy drinks. Blended. It was supposed to be orange cream but it tastes like a pixie stick. Too sweet and gritty. And no creamsicle flavoring. I ended up just throwing it out. My son got a chocolate boba. And it was essentially powered chocolate milk with boba balls. Gritty also and he threw his out too. Third one was a Tiger sugar boba. It was edible. But the damage has been done. All this was 27 bucks plus tip. Interior is clean but their stools and chairs are very uncomfortable. This has been a sad disappointment since we crave success for all of the beachside businesses. But this has been such a disappointment. We hope they figure it out but we won't be back for a while as we see if the market lets them survive.

    Whit's Frozen Custard - Melbourne - 1Scoop Red Velvet in Nutty Waffle Cone

    Whit's Frozen Custard - Melbourne

    (16 reviews)

    **INITIAL REVIEW**…read more Firstly, I have indulged in Whit's Frozen Custard multiple times on different occassions, with the last time being at Grace Community Church in West Melbourne, FL during one of their special Sunday events. This is probably the first time - that I can remember - I ate frozen custard directly from their brick-and-mortar store located in Historic Downtown Melbourne. So was Whit's Frozen Custard, at least the locale in Historic Downtown Melbourne, a yay or a nay? Frozen custard-wise, it is a yay, but in general, it is not necessarily a nay, but more an observation that can make or break a patron's view of wanting to go to Whit's Frozen Custard (which I will shorthand simply to Whit's for the remainder of this review) or somewhere else. Even though an address is provided, Whit's is located in the East side of Historic Downtown Melbourne, in between Crush XI and Constant Pressure Tattoo Shop. I must stress that Whit's is probably not handicap accessible as the only way in and out has four steps. Inside is quite minimalistic with its overuse of the color white (which kinda fits with their name) and stainless steel, but it fits their theme. The seating is also minimalistic, but it is assumed most people will take their custard and walk with it around and about downtown. Whit's also has numerous flavors pre-packaged for sale, but their flavors they have ready-to-serve is minimal. You can choose either vanilla, chocolate, or the flavor of the day. Today when I went, the two flavors for Sunday was peach and Heath bar. I had two scoops of peach were a nice amount of frozen custard to eat for like $6. Not bad for the price they provide. Given the information above, this is either a yay or nay compared to other frozen custard places. Other places have more options, but they are not necessarily top tier across the board. Other places may be less in price, but the amount of frozen custard you get will be less than the price you pay with Whit's. Like I said, these are not criticisms, but more like personal observations that cater to one's preferences. With that in mind, I am going to give Whit's three out of five stars. They are a-okay with what they have and what they have is delicious, but depending on my mood, I will either go to them... or not. Now if they are consistent with this setup, I will definitely give them an extra star for said consistency. But right now, they are three stars meaning they are a-okay.

    The staff were very helpful in explaining options and toppings. The store is extremely clean…read more Several to go flavors. Great little spot in Downtown Melbourne.
