So glad we discovered this place while visiting Melbourne beach. The restaurant is in a cute little shopping center near the old movie theater, and they have indoor and outdoor seating. First of all, we ordered beignets while waiting for a table and I didn't even get to snap a picture because they were gone within seconds. They were the BEST beignets I've had since New Orleans and I would make a trip here just for those. I love that they have a counter service window to order bakery items and coffee. For the appetizer we ordered the fish dip which was really good, especially with the jalapeño jelly they give you on the side. For dinner I had the ceviche, which was different than any I've tried before but sooo good. We also ordered the ribs....be prepared if you order those, holy moly they're HUGE! For dessert we got the brownie sundae which was decadent and delicious. Overall the food was fantastic and I'd highly recommend! read more

I visited Hemingway's Tavern yesterday for Lobsterfest. This was my first visit and I was quite impressed with the ambiance, food and service. Parking was plentiful and since weI arrived early, my party was seated immediately. It was a hot day, so we chose to dine inside but there was ample seating outside under cover as well. My dining companion and I ordered the Lobster Roll. It arrived with a small side of delicious Cole Slaw. The entree contained large pieces of lobster and we both enjoyed our meal. After dining, I took a walk around the restaurant, peeking into the kitchen and looking at the interesting and unique Key West and Hemingway related touches. Service by Christina was precessional and attentive. I hope to return for brunch in the future. read more

A Great Cuban sandwich. The place had Nice atmosphere. Close to the airport. Friendly staff.

Food pretty good but felt it was overpriced for what we got, a couple of sandwiches and the sides/fries didn't even come with the meal. Not cool. read more

The restaurant started off with a great environment. It really sings tavern style but with class. Hostesses welcomed us the second we walked in until the server arrived at the table. There was pub style and home cooked style food options. The wait time was super short even when they were packed. Our server Eric was quick and friendly. We started off with the conch fritters, enjoyed our entrees, and then treated ourselves to the richest caramel brownie with ice cream. It was just over $100 with tip for two of us but it was worth the price. We reccomend Hemingways and will be back when we are in town again! read more

The food was AMAZING, I got the fried snapper and it was the best fried snapper I've had to date! Definitely a must try if you're in the area. read more

The food was really good. I had the Tavern Tacos with blackened Snapper. My wife ordered the key west bowl with grilled shrimp. The only problem we had was a long wait time due to two walk-outs from their kitchen. Despite that, our waitress was PHENOMINAL. Rosie was on top of drinks for us and busting her hump with a fully packed house. She was communicative with us, which I wish the manager would have done. Rosie was.awesome.and I would ask for her specifically. The one thing I did like because of the walk-outs in the kitchen was how the entire staff pitched in to help. The kitchen was busting, trying to get orders out, and the front of house came to help get the orders to the table. The manager was making his rounds. Perhaps he did not get to us because our table was pretty chill. I will definitely go back again, probably with a smaller group as we had seven in ours, which only added to the stress of the staff given the circumstance. read more

Hemmingway's was delicious. We had a party of 25 hungry people, quite a challenge for 2 servers. The restaurant was very busy, but the dynamic duo handled it well. There is a wider variety of dishes offered, all delicious. There is a strong Cuban influence on the menu. I certainly can recommend the Cuban sandwich and the Bahamian conch soup. My son sticks to American fare and ordered the mushroom burger, it was huge! Everyone in our party was very happy with their selection. read more

I've been here about five times, I recommend it to all my friends and family! The mac & cheese with the pork is very good, and most of their appetizers are very yummy, AND good for the price(: The outdoor seating is very nice when it's not hot out haha. Every single waiter I've had has been wonderful! Very attentive and friendly. I go here for my birthday when I can (: read more

Always a great time when visiting Hemingway's! Tuesdays are my favorite because the martini special is worth the visit!

Love this place...been here 4-5 times...and every time the service and quality of the food is consistent. The Sweet Thai Chili wings are my favorite...I could eat atleast 5 orders of it alone. My most recent visit we came here for brunch and ordered the Papas Breakfast Platter...nothing out of the normal, everyone was happy...Ig also got my wings so my tastebuds were satisfied. This place is one of favorites in this area...nice environment where u can sit inside or outside and it's usually crowded. read more

Bit of a drive from Orlando but friends live that way so we drifted over to Melbourne, who knew they had an international airport. !!. Restaurant is in a small mall, great bar where we had a couple waiting for an outside table, nice range of beers & cocktails. Sat outside, server was very friendly, we shared empanadas and tostones for appetizers very tasty, I had the ribs with some jerk glaze, very tasty and huge portion, all for $23, wife had snapper, not very hot but tasty. Key lime pie and caffe con Leche excellent, we will be back read more

This restaurant isn't bad but it DEFINITELY isn't authentic Cuban. I came here twice, the first time I order chicken with rice and black beans. When I tried the black beans I almost barfed. As a Cuban, it's an insult to me to even call that Cuban black beans. The second time I went I just ordered a Cuban sandwich with Cesar salad. It was good but at the same time I don't think you can mess that up. read more

Hemingway's tavern is a wonderful spot in Melbourne Fl. The staff is friendly and always smiling. The food is very good. My favorite is the wings with the Jerk seasoning. The ambiance is very busy during happy hour, and quiets down during dinner. read more

Good food and service. Large place to eat. Very accommodating to special requests The ambiance is that of chain. read more

Awesome food, service and atmosphere. Definitely want to return to try everything on the menu!

This place is huge with both indoor and outdoor seating aplenty, and it appears that is necessary due to the large volume of people here even on a weeknight. There is also a large parking lot, so no worries about where to park either. We started with the fish dip - oh my goodness. It was one of the best we've ever had, and the addition of a little lemon zest did amazing things to your taste buds! Served with fried plantain slivers, it was so very good. We split a Cuban sandwich with Yucca fries. The Cuban was very tasty and the fries were perfectly crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. Mojitos were very good as well. Server was on point. Decor is interesting and you could spend a good hour looking around at everything on the walls. Some interesting selections! read more

The Lobster Dip appetizer is awesome, and the brunch Chicken and Waffles are to die for. read more

This place is awesome! It's set in a great location in West Melbourne with other shops around it. They have brunch on the weekends which I've had before and it was wonderful. This time we stopped by for dinner and got burgers. It's usually busy inside but they do offer indoor and outside seating. It's a really fun vibe inside and the waitresses are attentive. I love that they accept Apple Pay here! I'd love to try their cocktails next time. read more

Great experience. Ashley our server was excellent. The food was very good. Really recommend the ribs. Will definitely visit again. Fun atmosphere. Good all around. read more

The fish tacos, fried plantains, and key lime pie were all very tasty and delicious. I had the Cajun snapper fish for my tacos. The fried plantains were prepared perfectly. The fish tacos were incredible good. The key lime didn't have an ounce of tart in it; at least I couldn't taste it. Nonetheless, a wonderful meal with exceptional service. read more

We loved it so much because the conch chowder and conch fritters were just amazing and better than we'd ever had in the Caribbean. The grouper sandwiches were amazing with the lime aioli. Drinks were great. We sat at the bar And there were two women running that huge bar and the restaurant orders and they were killing it. Asked for the conch chowder recipe but the chef was off that night. Loved the vibe. read more

We had a late lunch at Hemingways last weekend and we're so lucky to be seated in Allie's section. She was amazing in every way. We asked for recommendations and she totally stepped up with amazing enthusiasm for all of our dishes. She made sure our drinks were always full. Our dishes were so good. We switched plates in the middle of the meal so everyone could sample the dishes for themselves. She continually came by to check on us. We cannot say enough about Allie and the restaurant. read more

I had just arrived in Florida after a nearly 8hr drive from NC..I was starving. The name reminded me of a place in Cuba so I had to try. The area is beautiful and building is well taken care of. The service was pleasant and friendly. I got the vegetable Melody and Mojo chicken taco. I inhaled it all... read more

We were pleasantly surprised by the broad menu. We came during their Lobsterfest - so we tried a few of the specials. The kobster fritters were outstanding: crispy but neither crumbly nor flakey. The lobster and shrimp bisque rich and smooth. The lobster roll was chock full of fresh New England lobster. Their signature Cuban sandwich was flavorful and really well stuffed. We tried some of their signature cocktails and were happy with them all. Our server was knowledgeable about their menu, and our service was friendly and efficient. Overall, we had a really enjoyable meal. read more

My best friend and I were looking for a new place to try. I'm so glad people recommended Hemingway's! We had a short wait for our comfortable booth. Our server, Jason, was cheerful, helpful, and on top of things. We had the most amazing shrimp cocktail and conch fritters for starters. We had the Painkiller cocktails that were outstanding. I ordered the ribs with macaroni salad and fries, my friend had the steak sandwich. They were both absolutely scrumptious and perfectly cooked. All the food came out hot at the right time. We both took leftovers home. There was only a slight disappointment with a new dish for dessert--flan. It was far too cheese-like in texture for our taste and we didn't enjoy it, but it was quickly taken off the bill. We are planning to go back every time she's in town. read more

What a nice find. Thank you fellow Yelpers! On our drive to St Augustine we hadn't eaten and decided to take a like detour for some grub. Since I was driving I can't take the credit for finding it anywho :P My fiancé read some of the menu options and we were intrigued. Upon arriving we noticed some specials on the board and the soup of the day is what caught his eye and my mother in loves. Plantain and bacon soup. So he ordered a bowl (I mean he has to share it with me) and his mom ordered a cup. We also ordered the tostones de cerdo,, chicken skewers, 4 conch fritters and my mother in love ordered the pulled pork bowl but opted for the snapper instead of pulled pork with rice and beans and maduros with a cilantro sauce. I almost forgot our drinks we had a pineapple mojito, regular mojito, espresso martini and I had 2 new new fashioned. My favorite was my drink it was a twist on old fashioned with muddled strawberries and lemon. My fiancé wasn't crazy about his pineapple mojito (no buzz) but enjoyed the espresso martini much more. The chicken skewers were tasty, conch fritters were good (my mother in law thought to salty) the pork tostones were delish and the snapper bowl was ok. The beans were the best part of that meal. read more

I really appreciate when mistakes are corrected In a way that makes me want to return. Mild issue was corrected immediately; Cassaundra and Andrew were stars today. Cassaundra for being attentive, friendly and suggesting amazing options. Andrew for checking we were happy and going above and beyond to support his staff. Attitude starts at the top and no employee acted like any request "isn't my job." (Asked host for a Togo cup and she made me fresh water Togo) As someone from the industry I Appreciate this so Much. I love supporting companies that support their staff read more
