Went with my mother for an evening out while visiting Florida. Quiet and low key. Service was excellent and quick. Sat indoors but outdoor seating looked great - too hot for mom. Had Oysters for an app - not as briney as New England ones but served well and tasty. My shrimp po'boy was tasty - have had better. Mom's fried shrimp was tasty. read more

this place used to be so good, now it was really lacking in the food & management. ordered the oysters which were good overall. unfortunately got the mahi tacos which tasted of straight vinegar & not like mahi at all. asked to reorder the shrimp tacos instead (our waitress was super sweet thought). after reordering the manager came over and proceeded to say it was my tastebuds that were the problem and "our owner tried them and they tasted fine" which yes it may have been my preferred taste but seemed quiet rude to both my husband and I who have been in the restaurant industry for years. Being blamed for not liking my food that is poor quality for $25 is alittle out of the ordinary. At that point we were ready to go and the shrimp tacos were unfortunately just not great either. Unfortunate to see a place go down that has such pretty views. read more

my husband and I dined there last evening, the service was good, the food and prices were not. we ordered the scallops they were about the size of a quarter, for 19.99 we got 4, but were charged $21.99. I ordered a salad with chicken that was very dry. now the alcohol! a capt morgan with coke, a staggering 18.00! This restaurant really needs to make some changes, at 6 pm on a Thursday the place was nearly empty. The view was lovely. We won't be going back our next trip to Palm Bay. read more

The only reason I'm not giving this place a five is because I made a reservation online and when I got there, there was no one to greet us and we had to flag down an employee only to be told we can seat ourselves. Not sure if that it is the norm or because it really wasn't busy due to the weather. We were able to sit by the window, which gave us a lovely view of the water, which was really great. Our waitress Robin, was amazing! She was really friendly gave us a great suggestions on whether or not things were good on the menu, and was very attentive and kind. Everything we ordered was really good with the exception of the kids pizza. Overall, a great experience celebrating Fathers Day, and we will definitely be back on a day with better weather so we can sit outside read more

We stopped at Lazy Turtle for an unexpected lunch. It is such a cute little hidden gem right that sits right on the Indian River Lagoon. It actually may have been our best meal down here! We ordered the Tres Tiki Taco Loco (shrimp and mahi) and they were so amazing! My mom said they may have been the best shrimp tacos she's ever had, and I may have to agree. Their mango salsa and volcano sauce is amazing!! My dad really liked their shrimp po boy as well. Drinks were good, especially the Coco Locco Mojito! 10/10, such a great find and we definitely plan to go back. They also have many gluten free options, including apps and entrees, and even 1 dessert! GF is marked on the menu! read more

I recently visited Lazy Turtle RiverFront Grill & Tiki Bar for the first time while attending a celebration with my community organization, and we had a group of about 12 people. From start to finish, the experience was excellent. Our server, Audrey, truly made the night. She was incredibly attentive, patient, and friendly--especially impressive given the size of our group. She kept everything organized, checked in on us consistently, and made sure everyone felt taken care of without ever rushing us. Her positive attitude and professionalism really stood out and added to the celebratory atmosphere. I ordered the island rigatoni with jerk grilled chicken (not listed by that exact name on the website), and it was absolutely delicious. The flavors were on point, the portion was satisfying, and honestly, everyone at the table enjoyed their meals. Across the board, the food was fresh, well-prepared, and full of flavor. Between the great food, waterfront vibe, and outstanding service from Audrey, Lazy Turtle was the perfect spot for our group celebration. We all had a great time and would definitely return--especially if Audrey is working! Highly recommend. read more

Looking for seafood with a view of the water and Lazy Turtle was it. It was windy and rainy so we couldn't sit outside at the Tiki Bar but we still had a view with good service! We had Fish and Chips with the best slaw I've had in a while and the Blackened Grouper sandwich! Superb! read more

Came here for my birthday dinner and I really liked my volcano shrimp that was gluten free. I loved that out back they had a saxophone player it made for a really nice atmosphere. It is a nice little place on the river. It might not be somewhere I go all the time but for a special occasion it was nice. The server was nice and made sure we were okay through out our time there. My husband's drink was just a bit too strong but they did go back and change it and just make a virgin one for him. His food he wasn't super happy with that there was too much dressing on his sandwich. All in all it's a nice spot just not somewhere I would find myself frequenting. read more

Came here with our party of 10, including 5 kiddos. Got right in on at around 6:00 in a Friday, which could be a red flag. The Lazy Turtle turned out to be a great choice. Service was fast and accurate. The only problem was we ordered fish and chips from the kids menu, but received the adult portion. Our server noticed immediately and only charged us for the kids meal. The rest of the food was great, especially the blackened grouper, blackened Mahi and the sushi. They also had a singer that was perfect for dining hours on the deck during our meal. Great place! read more

Lazy Turtle - On the deck overlooking the River. - Desserts Near Me - Palm Bay, Florida

The food was good and our server was very nice, but I think they must have been a little understaffed because I don't feel like he was around very much. We came for the views, but the wind was giving us a little bit of a hard time. In my party of 3 we each ordered a drink and an appetizer. I got the island blackened chicken nachos and they were huge, definitely enough to share between a few people. My friend got the lump crab cake bites and they were tasty. My cousin got the crispy volcano shrimp and they were good, your typical 'bang bang shrimp' read more

The name of this restaurant matches the service. Don't waste your time and money here. We arrived here sometime before 3p. Didn't leave this place until after 530p. The restaurant was empty at the time we arrived and left. Maybe 5 tables occupied the whole time. They took a few minutes to push some tables together for our party of 8 outside. After we sat down it took a long time for menus to get to us. Then it took a long time for us to get our waters and other drinks. Then our food order was taken another 10-15 mins later. 4p rolls around and no food. 430p rolls around and no food. We ordered a few sandwiches, soups, tacos and nachos. Nothing complicated or requiring anyone to go fish and hunt for our food in the ocean. One of us got up and searched for the server or manager and was told our food would be out shortly. 20 mins roll by and we get up and go check again. Then we notice the guy that was seated not too long ago at the bar got his nacho order. It was time to throw a fit. The family next to us got their food pretty late too. Kids got served first and parents food came out like 45 minutes later. We go in and try to cancel our food so we can leave because it was clear to us that a few people that had arrived way after us had got their food. So apparently according to the manager, there was an issue with the system and they had to key our order in 3 times!!! And none of the 2 managers were able to communicate this to us and tell us that there would be a delay in our food due to this. As 1 friend was talked to 1 manager, our food came out. This was after 5. When the waitress brought out our food, she told us that our food would be comped!!!! All of it. Except alcohol. That was fine. So then we inhaled our food in 5 minutes cause we were starving to death and ready to drive back home to Orlando and wanted to get the h*** out of there. Then it seemed like the 2 managers did not communicate with each other because one of them did not want to comp the entire meal. But the other manager said she would. Except for alcohol. We were already closed out and paid for all of our drinks and beers. Probably 16 drinks between all 8 of us. Left the waitress cash tips. They need to get their act together with their communication and their service. Horrendous service. I did enjoy my wedge salad and my lobster bisque though. But was not worth the wait. read more

So let's start with the reviews. Several commented on how the lazy turtles service was, well" slow as a turtle" ! Our service was excellent and considering Friday night at 7:00 pm prime time. Started with shrimp cocktail, not jump but large. Excellent sea food sauce. Could have been a couple additional shrimp for $19.95, the wedge side said wax huge and delicious. My spouse has the Hemingway with snapper was wonderful. My seafood paella was amazing . Scallops, shrimp, sausage and mussels. Ending a fine dinning experience with a 7 layer chocolate cake and a couple of coffees. Live entertainment, a fantastic view. And we will be back. read more

Absolutely worst restaurant we've been to in Brevard. Horrible service. We were there for 2 hours because it took forever to get anything, including water. Lobster bisque description says served on a sour dough roll. Soup wasn't hot and it was like they just threw a regular sub roll in it. Grouper sandwiches were fishy. Tacos barely had fish. The California roll was like it came from a gas station. I asked if they make their rolls there because I could tell the quality was terrible. She said they bring them in. Menu said crab but it was definitely krab. They screwed up on some of the orders. Will never ever go back. Prices were high, but that's expected on waterfront. What wasn't expected was the piss poor food and service. Do not give them one dime or your will regret it!!! read more

Forgot to take pics of the wedge salad and lobster bisque but phenomenal!!!! The staff here were so nice and attentive. What a great find just winging it. Thank you Debra for being an amazing waitress. We really enjoyed our meal here!! read more

BAIT & SWITCH we ordered the lobster & shrimp tempura sushi rolls ($28 ea). They were impressively huge, until I cut it (too big for my mouth LOL) & realized the shrimp roll was IMITATION KRAB & the lobster roll in 3 bites I saw 1 small piece of lobster & mostly just the IMITATION KRAB. They have a California roll for half the price. Looks like they just fry it, turn bites on side & cover with filler & sauces to hide what it is. The Owner's reply was I was the 1st person to notice in 7 years & that is just how they make it. No excuse ... dishonest misrepresentation, those are NOT shrimp or lobster rolls, not even a mixture of both. It was solid pieces of Krab w/alot of filler. .. our service there has always been good, & we liked the other food in the past, but will not support them ripping off clients read more

We arrived and given the option to sit inside or outside. There was one table inside that had 4 people sitting at a table. We sat outside and there lots of open tables. We were seated for 25 minutes and all the servers just walked by. Our party of 5 got up and walked out. Other people outside heard our complaints and they said they had the worst service and the food took over an hour. This was a Saturday night at 8:30pm was not that busy with at least 5 servers. I hope that this was just a fluke, but we will see next time and I will update the post. read more

Lazy Turtle - LAZY TURTLE - Desserts Near Me - Palm Bay, Florida

Food and service was excellent My salad was fresh and the Caesars dressing was delicious

Lazy turtle is not lazy by no means! lol! The seafood is always fresh. We order grouper sandwiches but I forgot to take pics. I was so hungry and excited! Oops! But let me tell we order grouper sandwiches a lot when we go to the beaches all over the place but this one from here is over the top the freshest, the tenderest , juiciest and cooked to perfection every time. Order sweet potato fries and French fries crunchy and soft in the middle. Let me tell you about the raw oyster. You can't order 1 dz. Have to order 2 dz. Every time , Because they are that yummy! Nice size, Fresh, clean and goes down smoothly. That is everything you want. I am not a cocktails person but the cocktails are flavorful, fun and tasty. Definitely order a cocktail or share one. Margarita with splash of mango. passionfruit cocktail. The deserts are fresh, moist and full of yummy goodness. Presentation is lovely like you are being celebrated while you enjoy the water front view of dolphins, pelican frolicking in the water. Love all the option of seating indoor in a more casual dinning or outdoor under umbrellas or not to catch a ray of Sunshine on your skin while Listening to band depending what Time and day you visit. All the areas are fun and enjoyable with a view of the bay. There always a smiling host to great and happy to seat you. They all are knowledgeable, attentive and always happy to serve. They also have a long dock that goes into the bay that you can walk on after your meal and enjoy the bay. It is fun and relaxing. Go and enjoy. read more

Extremely overpriced. Foods ok, takes a long time to get your food. Good location but not worth the price.

Gordon Ramsay needs to pay this place a visit. Happy we didn't stick around. When we couldn't get water we knew it was a bad sign. No music on the outside deck set a weird atmosphere too. read more

to start off, the food was absolutely amazing. best food i've had in a while. the environment was so pleasant, fluent, it was an entire beachy vibe and i love it. the only reason i took a star off was due to the wait time between the order and when we got our food. my waitress was very kind, and the kitchen was very lenient with my tables weird requests. however, there are so many great things about this restaurant and i 100% recommend it even with the wait time. bring your chattiest friend, and im sure it'll be great. read more

Management and flow of service is terrible. It was Mother's Day, we are very patient and polite customers as I've worked in the restaurant industry in multiple establishments throughout the treasure coast and space coast for 10+ years. After waiting over 2 hours for our entrees and listening to the party next to us get several wrong dishes ( who got sat 30 minutes after us) and expressing my concerns to the manager she had no apologies and avoided any resolutions. Unacceptable to run a restaurant in such way. read more

Went to lunch to catch up with a friend and had an amazing time at the Lazy Turtle. It was a beautiful afternoon so we sat on the patio with lovely water views and a nice breeze! Russ our server was fantastic and attentive! The bartender made awesome drinks and the food was great. I ordered the breezy summer salad with chicken. The portions were huge and I was able to make two meals out of the salad. The wild berry dressing was so yummy! The California Roll sushi was great and very fresh! We will definitely be back soon!! read more

Our favorite restaurant. Food is delicious and the outdoors view of the river is absolutely lovely.

I give these guys 4 stars - But only because this place has got to be the most unique dining experience in the area - It's like walking into some demented 80's movie where the kids have the adults tied up in the basement and they are trying to figure out how to run the place ... hilarious hi jinx ensue . I agree It's slooooow But that can be pleasant Don't go here if your in a hurry lmao The leaking ac only added to the Jenesequa of this place I mean if your going to charge people 30$ avg for a dinner plate- You wanna make they are moisturized .. but the food is delicious that's for sure You'll never see a salad so generous as the wedge it's truly an outstanding piece of work and well worth the price- bonus points for the pickled onions My girlfriend got see breeze salad with an extra side of feta fingers on the side of the lovely steel bowls Making it oh so apparent it to everyone, but the cook, food runner and potential food expediter I got the Philly cheesesteak It was divine Soft wonderful white hogie roll delicious meat grilled onions And true to form orange cheese again seriously delicious - Would I go again Prolly . Would I be drunk this time Indeed . Anyway hope you enjoy your meal. read more

It was Mother's Day, so I understand it's busy. But to some extent, you have to have a system in place for these things. First off, we waited 10 minutes for waters and never got taken down our drink orders throughout the entire service. We ordered sushi, and 10 minutes later were told they were out of that one. We ordered another sushi, they told us another 10 minutes later that they were out of all sushi. This must be a miscommunication between staff because some people said they had it and some people said they didn't. The steak we ended up ordering was low quality, and not the best. This place used to be very good. Maybe it was because of Mother's Day or just that the staff has went downhill. read more

SMH I don't know where to begin. Save yourself a trip and skip it. Sorry cause the server was super nice !

Wow, use to be my go to restaurant when family or friends came in from out of town! Unfortunately not any longer, my sister and her husband were in town over this Easter and both have been to the Lazy Turtle several times. We went Saturday evening expecting the same great food and a reasonable price! My sister was the first to notice her favorite dish had gone up quite a bit I look at the menu and sure enough everything on the menu went up in price! The food while good was not delicious and we came to expect! My brother-law likes to enjoy a cocktail before dinner (Gin & Tonic) and he believes the Gin had been "watered Down" ! I have been to the Lazy Turtle many times and always enjoyed my experience and often I would recommend it to many of my friends and associates. However, after last night's experience I'm sorry to say never again. I was embarrassed and I was 'embarrassed for the restaurant! read more

Waited 15 minutes for the waitress to address us. Gave us menus and walked away. By the time she came back we had waited another 15 minutes and was ready to order. Still with no water. We had to ask 2 more times for water. Apps took another 15 minutes to come out and they were wrong. Brought out one of the apps and a soup that someone had ordered for dinner. Soup was cold. Finally got the apps right and we once again waited. Dinner was awful. I was done. Guy brought our food out with another soup and just threw it randomly on someone's plate. I went to grab it but the waitress helped me out by taking it. My order was again wrong and we had to beg for another pitcher of water. Fish was fishy, sushi was store bought, and the mahi tacos were super salty. We finally got out of there after 2 hours. It wasn't super busy but they seemed under staffed. Nice view.....waitress was friendly. read more

If looking for a beautiful spot on the water offering seafood and a great ambiance in Palm Bay, this is definitely it. I have been twice so far. On the first visit I had marked it as my favorite spot in PB; the second visit, and still rings true. The first visit, we sat on the outdoor patio with a group of friends and enjoyed steel drums, which was the perfect relaxing outdoor vibe. We enjoyed a selection of appetizers and drinks. The coconut mojitos were perfection as was fish dip, nachos, Brazilian cheese bread, calamari, and sushi. Service was excellent as well. On the second visit, my group enjoyed fried oysters, burger, sushi, and whole red snapper and enjoyed the indoor dining. They must have had a new bartender as the coconut mojito was quite different and the margaritas were some of the strongest ever (strong, but tasty- maybe why they kept on ordering them lol). Both times, we were seated immediately without reservations. I feel as though a hidden gem and I look forward to going back. read more

Service was 4/5 waitress was nice but busy. Had to get my own silverware and napkins. Soft shell crab sandwich was good. 5/5 Lobster bisque that everyone had raved about was 2/5. The flavor of the bisque was good but the presentation of the soup was disgusting. See photo... looks terrible. Drinks: Mojito was really good. $19 drink. Deep Sea Blue served in a pineapple for an extra $6 was pointless. Small drink wouldn't recommend. Outside area is nice. However you cant go down to the dock its only available to boaters who order food. Due to liability? Makes no sense other local bars have docks you can visit and take photos. Views of the water are restricted and have objects or junk obstructing views. The food was good, drinks were ok... If youre in the area yeah maybe visit but this isnt a place i would rant and rave over. $100 food bill and not a lot of value. read more
