Good people, good food, good prices. I think I can safely say this is literally the best corned beef hash ever. So over the top good with homemade corned beef. I wanted more. My wife had one of their Bennies. She loved it too. Next time we are in the area, we will try them for lunch.

Banana River Cafe is proof that the smell of bacon can make you forgive almost anything…read more First, a fun fact: they're operated by a CIA graduate. No, not that CIA. The Culinary Institute of America. Our daughter actually graduated from their Baking & Pastry program in San Antonio, so we were already inclined to give the place a try. But I digress. The moment you walk in, the smell of bacon smacks you right in the face. In the best possible way. So. Dang. Good. We stopped in on a busy Sunday afternoon. The dining room was hopping. A few tables could have been bussed a little quicker, my chair needed a quick swipe-down before I sat, and there were a few chips hanging out on the floor. Normally I'd notice those things more, but then the bacon smell hit again and suddenly none of it seemed quite as important. I ordered two perfectly cooked over-medium eggs, sliced tomatoes (instead of potatoes), and a biscuit. I chose the biscuit over toast or an English muffin with absolutely no intention of eating it. My plan was to take it home for one of the kids. Then I took one bite. Friends, this was THE best biscuit I have ever eaten in my entire life. I don't throw around statements like that lightly. If you visit Banana River Cafe and order absolutely nothing else, order the biscuits. They deserve their own Yelp page. My husband got what I think was called the Power Bowl--a delicious-looking pile of rice, beans, carnitas, and all the ingredients that make a great burrito bowl. Our son absolutely housed his French toast. Our daughter ordered the Rosemary Chicken Salad Wrap with pasta salad. I sampled the chicken salad. It had a whisper of rosemary. A polite suggestion of rosemary. A rosemary cameo appearance. If you're going to call it Rosemary Chicken Salad, I'd personally vote for a little more rosemary. My daughter loved it, though. She also loved the pasta salad but wasn't a fan of the Parmesan sprinkled on top. If Parmesan must be involved, let's keep it to the kind that comes from a block and not the green plastic shaker. Just my two cents. The staff was friendly, service was great, and soda refills appeared before we even had to ask. I also loved the local artwork displayed throughout the restaurant. Every piece has a price tag, so if something catches your eye, you can literally take it home with you. Great food, great service, incredible biscuits, and enough bacon aroma to improve your mood instantly. We'll definitely be back.

As a previous Satellite beach resident, I frequented this location when it was under different…read moreowners/restaurant back in the day. Location is honestly perfect, it's one of the only breakfast spots directly on the beach, besides a parking lot the ocean access is like 200 ft from the back. 9:30 on a Sunday, there was about a 10/15 min wait because limited cook staff. The menu has some really unique items. I ordered the scramble but honestly was intrigued by the tacos, perhaps next time. The sorbet mimosa was interesting, clearly fresh but maybe too many seeds for my liking. Our server was nice, but overall the organization of the restaurant reflects in the service. Many waitresses were just all over the place and it just was not being run very well. The wait to get the check was a bit much. Perhaps on off day but I'll definitely be back.

Morning Glory has an old diner vibe to it with its retro decor and outdoor patio to enjoy the warmth. The wait staff is nice enough and was accommodating when trying to change an order. The food itself was good if not a little small. The eggs Benedict left a little more room in my stomach than I would have liked for the price and I fear that this diner is another victim of shrinkflation where the prices stayed the same but the portion sizes shrank. Either way it was a nice enough experience and good for a small quick bite to eat.

After driving by this place multiple times and seeing the parking lot packed every single time, we finally stopped in... and now we understand why. Everything we ordered was fantastic. The Greek omelet with potatoes was perfectly seasoned and cooked just right. The Southern Benedict with hash browns and the Alaskan Benedict with grits were both excellent--classic comfort food done right. The Breakfast Bundle with chocolate chip pancakes was a big hit... although those pancakes disappeared so fast I'm not convinced we didn't imagine them. The food came out hot and fast (always impressive when a place is clearly busy), and the coffee and soda refills for the kids kept coming without us even having to ask. Service was friendly and welcoming the entire time. The restaurant was clean, there's outdoor seating available, and the whole place just has that "great local breakfast spot" feel. Safe to say our breakfast search is officially over. And if the packed parking lot didn't convince us before... the food definitely did. We'll absolutely be back.

The chef's training and talent not only his flavor pairings but his expert execution and detail. We started with the Escargot - out of shell presentation in a delicious butter and parsley sauce that is to die for. Thankfully they provide enough bread to soak up every drop. This week we opted to sample several of the main courses off the specials. Two diners had the duck and one opted for the snapper. The duck was phenomenal, truly the best l've had, with a perfectly crispy skin and beyond tender meat. It was served with a delicious slightly tangy glaze with a side of mashed sweet potatoes and veggies. The snapper was prepared perfectly to a tender flake with your fork in a rich and savory bur Blanc sauce. Others had the French onion soup - delicious broth and cheese finish with the crispy yummy goey overflow of melt and delicious bread pieces a top. Other go to dishes - their house salad is one of the best you will ever have, the soups of the day have all been delicious and creative, for beverages we love the cappuccino and the peach belinis and for dessert the crème brûlée. This is a must in Brevard County and beyond. Also the front of house is the sweetest woman ever who is simply a delight (although last weekend was her last awhile).

Richard took my research of local @restaurants to go to Le French tonight for dinner. It turns out…read morethe restaurant was walking distance from his condo. He didn't know it was there. It is a small cafe run by a man and his wife. The husband is the chef and the wife handles the front. Richard was not familiar with French food by now he is. We started with sharing tender ramekin of escargots that were cooked perfectly with butter, garlic and fresh parsley. He never had it before but he did try one then grab another then I taught him to take the crusty French bread and soak up the garlic butter. We both ordered the beef bourguignon which is my favorite French dish. We both enjoyed it but it was not as rich and flavorful as I have had in the past. For dessert I had the chocolate mousse which was yummy and could not finish it all. Richard had the perfectly cooked and well presented lava cake which I will get next time when I come. The icing on the cake was that a family was eating dinner with grandparents, sons, Daughers and grandchildren. As the grandmother went to the restroom she stopped by to say what a joy it was to watch the two of us talk and enjoy each other. The grands who were 7 and 5 also chatted with us and asked me lots of questions about the places that I have visited. The son and DIL were from the country of Jordan. They were all delightful. He gave me some advise about Poland. When we left the restaurant, there was a full moon over the ocean which added a special accent to the day. At 10:20 tonight there is a SPACE X rocket ship blasting off from Cape Canaveral. We will watch it from the beach!!!!

It was a hot May Day but they had a portable unit that blew cold air as well as ceiling fans so it was quite comfortable. Our server, Debra, greeted us with a smile and was a delight. She gave prompt service even going so far as to anticipate our needs before we even asked for things, like a to-go cup already half filled with soda so when we added our own, we got to leave with a full cup. The food was PHENOMINAL! My friend had the tomato basil quiche and I had the pepper jack chorizo Benedict--both on their specials of the day menu--and both were the best we've ever had. If you're in the area, I highly recommend this place. And if you see Gary or Larry (regulars there), tell them hi. Larry will be sure to tell you some good jokes.

I've given this place a handful of chances over the past year, and somehow every visit is worse…read morethan the last. Honestly, that level of consistency deserves recognition. I'd love to review the food, but I've never actually made it that far. The "bartenders" seem to operate under the impression that customers are an unfortunate side effect of working in a bar. I spent a decade behind the stick myself, so I understand bad shifts, shitty customers, being slammed, and wanting to throw a bar rag at someone. But these people appear genuinely offended that you had the audacity to walk in, sit down, and attempt to give them money. Management might want to consider a controlled burn followed by a complete rebuild. Seriously, if your resting facial expression says, "I fucking hate you and everything about this place," maybe hospitality isn't your calling. There are plenty of careers where interacting with humans is optional. And spare me the "restaurant business is tough" excuse. Sandbar manages to employ people who don't look like they're serving a prison sentence. Long Doggers somehow finds employees capable of making eye contact without conveying pure contempt. So apparently it can be done. At this point, I have no idea if the food here is amazing, terrible, or prepared by a Michelin-starred raccoon in the back. I'll probably never know, because I can't survive the first line of defense long enough to order it. Maybe management should stop worrying about getting people through the door and start asking why the people behind the bar seem so pissed off that they came.
