    Malabar Mo's now has all the excitment happening under their (very large) Tiki Hut! New menu... food is delicious, especially the fish & fries. Best fish I've had in a long time. Cheap (still) cold beer & a liquor bar as well. Try their own label Bourbon! Activities daily; music bingo, solo artist nights & great bands F, S & S. Not only local, but national acts too, & no cover! Bike nights have returned on first & third Fridays. Place gets packed & everybody, of all ages, is dancing & having a blast. There is overflow parking right next door, which is a plus. Mo's also hosts holiday parties for the community, & host a toy drive at Christmastime. They even host a single mingle night. Go check them out, then tell your friends... meet me under the Tiki Hut!

    Great spot for live music. Food was better than expected as the overall impression was it wasn't very clean. Our server Jade was new, 2nd week but had a great attitude, but did disappear a bit. It's definitely a cool spot, clearly frequented by locals who don't seem all too welcoming of non locals. If we're ever up in the Palm Bay area we will end back.

    Our server was great, but we were very disappointed in the food. My sisters did not like the poke bowls at all. It had a horseradish sauce on it instead of wasabi. There were no cucumbers at all, and there was no seaweed salad included as stated on the menu. My burger was great. My niece's chicken was not cooked and had to be sent back. It was very very quiet... Then we found out it's changed hands recently. Usually it's packed. The manager came out to talk about the issues but really didn't do anything wrong to try to make anybody happy. There was also constant yelling and foul language from the kitchen. Kids kidding around I'm sure but it is a business and I don't find that to be acceptable.

    We read a favorable review recently posted by the Treasure Coast Foodie and bought special offer gift cards to give Malabar Mo's a try. We did not have the same wonderful experience that the foodie folks did. We sat outside on the lower deck seating area by the stage where a gentleman was playing guitar and singing a mixture of country and older 80's songs. I will say our server was very attentive, pleasant, and provided great service. I ordered the classic American hamburger with fries for $15.99, and the other person ordered the mahi-mahi BLT sandwich on Texas toast with fries for $17.99. We both agreed the fries weren't good. They had a frozen bag taste to them. The burger had very little flavor, but a big splat of ketchup and mayo helped. The mahi fish itself was tasty, but the Texas toast was too buttery making the sandwich soggy, and the sandwich fell apart. The location is really nice with a view overlooking the water, but the atmosphere, food, and entertainment were all just bland. It's too bad because we had high hopes for a better experience and left feeling really disappointed. Unfortunately, we likely won't return.

    Came here for lunch after our airboat tour from Swamp Donkey and recommended by our tour guide. Pretty good food and laid back.

    I got the wings in hot. I like that they just redid the place. I read about the wings and decided to come and try it. The food does take a while and I went around 3pm The wings aren't as thick as I expect but the sauce really ties it up together. Fries were perfect. Hush puppies were perfect. There's a lot of people hanging out loud at the bar and outside drinking it out. I wouldn't say it's an atmosphere thats not normally a sit down and eat like Buffalo Wild Wings or Bizarros. I'd go there again if I was celebrating something.

    Tuna poke bowl and fried pickles!!! SO good!!

The sweet potato fries were super crisp, hot and flavorful. Both kids meals were more than enough for my pre-teen grands. We had quite a wait for the food but once we tasted it, we realized it takes time to get that level of quality food. The wait was the only reason I gave it a 4 instead of a 5. Don't let the casual outside fool you, the interior is quiet, modern decor with a view to the impressive pizza oven in the kitchen. I would definitely recommend Jolie's American Bistro.

Service was good and food came out quick. Food: I wanted to order many things from the menu. But I settled on Catfish with grits and hashbrowns. It's was ok. It kind of had an unusual batter for catfish but it was fine, but the fish was brined tasting. Definitely needs a buttermilk soak. Grits were good but a little runny for my taste... and hashbrowns were kind of bland and not as crispy as I like. So basically, everything else's good, but not amazing. My friend had meatloaf and made a big mixed pile on his plate (sorry I didn't get photo before his creation). Overall: I will be back... I think they have something I haven't found yet that is amazing. I want to try their burger and chicken friend steak when I go back.

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.
