The storefront for Nephew's Grubhouse. Let's hope they do well at this location when others have not.

**INITIAL REVIEW** Though I am not born and bred in NYC, I do miss many things during my time there. Given this is Yelp, it will most-likely be evident I am going the direction of food. The kind of bagels and pizza you get only in NYC, fantastic and one-of-a-kind. However, there is one NYC food I truly love that I miss, and if you hit up bodegas, you know I am talking about Chopped Cheese, a sandwich in which the base is usually ground beef with seasonings, preferably Adobo, American cheese melted through, all within a hero roll. Some versions have different seasonings and other ingredients, but the aforementioned is the base. Ergo, Nephew's Grub Shack, a food truck located up in Cocoa, FL on Burnett St., holds a special place in my foodie heart as they serve a delicious Chopped Cheese. Oh... and their other menu items are excellent, too. So when I found out the owners of Nephew's Grub Shack opened up a restaurant, I was more than enticed to check it out. Even better news, they decided to open up right near my neck of the woods. Now with the full force of an actual restaurant complete with a full-working kitchen at their disposal, Nephew's Grub Shack's restaurant, Nephew's Grub House, expands on what they served in their food truck. Though an address is given, Nephew's Grub House is located in Turner Square, a small strip mall consisting of other businesses like Hungry Howie's and Spirits 2 U Liquor. Little known fact: this strip mall was also the second location for Get Your Fun On before they moved to the northeast corner of US-192 and Wickham Rd. As of this review, Nephew's Grub House is kind of bare bones. There are plenty of signs signaling patrons of the new business but it is probable the owners of Nephew's Grub House are still learning how to utilize an actual restaurant space compared to a food truck. They don't have an official moniker for their restaurant, but currently have a vinyl banner. Upon entering their establishment, there are like four bare-bones tables with limited wall decor flanked by three televisions. As for the wall decor, many of them are collages of 80s, 90s, and 2000s pop culture, especially rap and hip-hop album covers. Where Nephew's Grub House is starting to shine is the progression in their food. For those who don't know, their food truck had a limited menu compared to what they offer in their restaurant. This included a couple of burgers, walking tacos, Chopped Cheese, wing combos, and drinks. As mentioned earlier, they have a full-kitchen at their disposal so their menu has expanded. Some new items I noticed include street tacos, nacho salad, chicken tenders, and others. There was also a list of specials including a pork chop sandwich, $8 double burger on Thursdays, and a Friday and Saturday special starting at 3 p.m. consisting of eight wings, baked beans, and Mac n' cheese along with $5 sides. I opted for my Chopped Cheese (spelled Chopp'd Cheese on the Nephew's Grub House menu) and a two tacos and eight wings lunch. Both came with fries. Chopped Cheese was delicious as always. If you never had one, try the one Nephew's Grub House (or Shack if you are up in Cocoa) makes. It is the base core of a Chopped Cheese but that is all you need at first before adding other ingredients... like lettuce and tomato. The tacos were very delicious. Not trad Mexican or anything like that, but cooked with a lot of love given the amount of grease that leaked from the tacos. Wings were good and I got my fav sauce, the Buffalo Garlic Parm. All were within the price range of $10 to $20 which is fair given what other restaurants charge these days. Needless to say, but if you are needing to know nutrition information and macros for Nephew's Grub House's food, good luck with that. Just know a lot of the food is definitely rich and if you need to stay within some sort of strict diet, definitely work the rest of your day around them. I am sure their food is high in calories, fat, and the like. Good, but still. Ultimately, I am going to give Nephew's Grub House four out of five stars. Fantastic food that the owner's put their soul into, all for a fair price. Only cons I can think of is 1.) the time it takes to make food. I think Nephew's Grub House still doesn't have down pat the scope of with their kitchen can do. And 2.) location. It must be stressed that the business space Nephew's Grub House occupies is not very successful. Since 2011, it has been numerous other businesses including Big Spoon Caribbean Cuisine, Ice Cream Junction, and Sazon Criollo. With online and mobile food ordering and delivery platforms, let's hope that Nephew's Grub House fairs better than their predecessors. I will definitely return to try more of Nephew Grub House's other menu items. If their food is consistent and if they get into the groove of things and improve on their times, they'll definitely earn their fifth star.

They are permanently closed. Do not order on delivery apps. Door dashing still allows you to order.

Tried out Boy Hero in Palm Bay and was really happy with the experience. Everything came out hot,…read morewhich I appreciate, and the fries were perfectly crispy, not greasy or limp, just right. The burger had great flavor and a bit of char, the way a good burger should. The hot dog was exactly what you'd expect, no complaints, and the Philly was honestly excellent! It was flavorful and wrapped up neatly. There's seating if you want to eat in, but the takeout boxes are basically plates, which is super convenient if you're eating on the go or back at work. Nice little detail that made a difference. One quirky touch I wasn't expecting was the fortune cookie that comes with the meal. Definitely unexpected for this type of food, but fun. I'd love to know the story behind that if there is one. The space itself is pretty cool. They've really committed to the hero theme with comic-style art and superhero details on the ceiling. It gives the place a unique vibe. Everyone was polite, though a bit more warmth or a quick hello when you walk in would make the experience feel more welcoming. No one was at the front when I arrived, so there was a bit of an awkward pause, but not a big deal. Overall, great food, creative space, and definitely worth a visit. I'll be back.

Excellent Smoked Wings and Great Happy Hour Spot…read more Stopped by Broken Barrel Tavern at Palm Bay Road and Babcock and had a great experience. Service was prompt and friendly, and the happy hour specials made it an even better value. I ordered the wing basket with 8 smoked wings and onion petals. The onion petals were crispy, flavorful, and paired perfectly with the spicy remoulade sauce. For the wings, I tried both the Carolina Vinegar and the Hot Garlic flavors. The smoked wings themselves were outstanding, and the Hot Garlic sauce was especially memorable because it featured real garlic, which added incredible flavor. These are definitely wings I will come back for and highly recommend to anyone visiting. My partner ordered the BBQ pulled pork quesadillas with seasoned fries. The fries were more like freshly cut chips, nicely seasoned and delicious, and the quesadillas were excellent as well. Overall, Broken Barrel Tavern delivered great food, quick service, and a relaxed atmosphere. If you're in the Melbourne area and looking for outstanding smoked wings, this place is absolutely worth a visit. We'll definitely be back.

This is an old establish and it shows. Really it a bar that serves BBQ…read more I had heard about this place from my previous job was just down the road. Popular for team building events. Went for lunch on a Friday and they had two servers and only one working the dining area. We sat in the very dark dining area. Every surface was painted black. Lighting was pretty poor and it was hard to read the menus. Ordered a pulled pork platter and a pulled pork sandwich. They both came with "fried chips" and the platter had another side and we chose beans. Bourbon Bbq sauce was our choice. The pork was good. Good portions on both sandwich and platter. Beans had some "heat" which I don't favor but my son really liked. The chip fries or fried chips - whichever they call them were seasoned with a garlic salt it tasted like. However they could have used about another minute I the fryer. The bigger ones were raw in the middle. May have been a byproduct of a large party in their event room throwing off their timing. But if cooked a bit more they would be a unique side for the area and good. Server was stretched thin. Freshens my son's drink but not mine until he brought the check. By then meal was over. I had water. Not difficult. Rib special looked good from a distance and I heard they are known for wings. Maybe next time. Noticed there is a private room for events that most restaurants do not have. So a point to consider.

I was looking for some home cooked soul food and that's exactly what it was! Absolutely delicious! It only took a few minutes and the staff were friendly. I got my food to go, but there's plenty of seating inside.

We made a day trip to the area and were hungry, initially we wanted seafood but after stopping…read moresomewhere else we decided to pivot here after perusing reviews of this and several other establishments. ambiance is... well, its in a strip mall, interior wasn't too much to speak of. service was fast/friendly. the food- my wife got oxtails with collard greens, mac n cheese and cornbread. i got pork chop sandwich with onion rings (was told i wouldnt be able to get lettuce/tomato, which was fine, so i just asked for open face with side of gravy, i really wantef smothered style so this was fine). food arrived timely. the appearance of my food wasnt all that, but the pork chop tasted good, appeared to have light breading, with good flavor, maybe a touch over cooked. my onion rings were crispy, great to dip in ranch (thanks to my server for asking if I needed a side of it). The gravy was OK, but was separating a little/ runny and was extremely hot. so overall, I would give my food like a 3.75/5. we shared food and my wife echoed these sentiments. my wifes meal. first, I will only say that I didn't feel like you got very much portion wise for her protein, maybe we are a little spoiled as there is a Soulfood restaurant closer to where we live where the price is about the same but you get a lot more meat. however, flavor is king and... flavor of the oxtails here was lacking. my wife felt they were underseasoned. the rice with them was... rice, didn't really pick up any of the meetings from the broth/marrow of the oxtail bones. her mac & cheese was quite quite good, I ended up eating most of it. The collard greens were probably the worst thing we ate, no flavor at all, even after adding hot sauce. Normally my wife loves collard greens and I don't eat much, but she was more than happy to let me have as much of them as I wanted, but after a couple of bites, I stopped. overall, I would rate the food she ordered as 2.5/5. between our meals, one iced tea and tip it was $50. Again, the service was very good. My food was pretty good. My wife's food underwhelming. overall, Respectfully, we're not from the area so our odds of returning were not high anyway, but there was nothing else would really draw us back if we were to return to the area. my final note would be, they were not very busy, but it seemed like most of the customers where we could tell what they ordered had ordered the catfish so that made be indicative of something we or someone else might want to order on a future visit.
