Philly Cheesesteak Omelette with an order of Turkey Sausages.
Jan-Michael T.

I'll be honest and never noticed there was a "Somers" to the name. Always called it the Sunshine Cafe. Anyways, I am glad this place remained a breakfast/brunch/lunch place. Prior to Somers Sunshine Cafe (will shorthand to SSC for remainder of review), this place was an IHOP. Not only that, it was during the time IHOP was really good and out of this world. As for SSC, the food is really good too and dare I say, better than the current menu IHOP has to offer. I've been eating here for many years but I will review it for what it is at the moment. The ambiance is still the same from its IHOP days. If you ever eaten in a place like Denny's, Perkins, or... well... IHOP, you will get the same feel as SSC. Many booths and many tables, to sit at if it isn't packed. Problem is this place is a mom and pop catergory restaurant and for sit-down full service, it suffers the same issue many restaurants of its kind has: lack of manpower. They are always needing waiters and waitresses. Guess what? Same goes for almost any other restaurant similar to them. I will not highly fault SCC for the lack of manpower because many restaurants suffer the same fate. I will highlight they do their best with the staff they have. Unfortunately, their staff is not enough to continue running as a full day diner and will now become a true breakfast and brunch place and close at 2:30 p.m. Food is very good. I had the philly cheesesteak omelette and it was delicious. My sister had steak tips and she says they were good. Dad had something from the senior citizen's menu that was sized for senior citizens. Not saying it was bad but the presentation was so simple, I didn't even bother to take a picture. Overall, a solid place to eat breakfast/brunch/lunch. I will definitely have SSC much higher up as a selection if I am looking for such a restaurant, but I will not drive out of the way to eat there like some others. Still, you can't go wrong eating there. Just take note that during busy hours, you may wait for about 20 minutes for a seat.

Somers Sunshine Cafe 1107 Malabar Road Palm Bay, FL 32907 4 Stars After 25+ years in the same location, Somers Sunshine Cafe was bound to come up on my random name generator sooner or later. Still family-owned and operated, I figured they must be doing something right to remain in the game for over a ¼ Century. As I waited with 6 other groups of people to be seated staring at 15 open tables, I realized they did not have front of the house figured out yet. Quite an inauspicious start to the meal, to say the least. The rank incompetence of the seating system was fully exposed to me by the glib and friendly Natalie, who explained the 15 open tables were a function of not being allowed to seat people until it was the next server's turn. This resulted in literally 1/3 of the tables being vacant while people waited. A host/hostess would rectify this in a heartbeat. Finally shown to a table, it wasn't long before our server, Danielle, introduced herself. She fits in perfectly with her charming demeanor and spunky attitude. With the front of the house obviously in a state of suzerainty to the back, I would lay dollars to donuts; this place has to have good food. To this end, I put in an order for some Peanut Butter Pancakes and one Patty Melt. I had just enough time to snap a few pics of the joint and relax a bit when I saw Danielle joyfully returning with my grub. More pics for you, loyal followers and it was time to get to work. If the pancakes tasted half as good as they smelled and looked, I knew I was going to be in for a gastronomical treat. Consisting of buttermilk pancakes filled with chocolate chips, layered with peanut butter sauce and topped with yet more chocolate chips, whipped cream and chocolate syrup this smacked of a Reese's. Only in pancake form and better. Much better. Nothing beats homemade buttermilk pancakes for breakfast/brunch. Well, maybe eggs Benedict, but that's about it. Sighing regrettably as I had to move on, I eyed the patty melt. If you take a gander at the photo, you can see that this chunk of ground beef was hand formed, just the way Grandma would have made it had she made patty melts. The meat was seasoned to perfection, cooked as ordered and nestled between two superlatively grilled pieces of rye bread. The fries were fried to a delectable golden doneness and were a fine accompaniment to the melt. The Big Boy says, "Ignore the helter-skelter front of the house mismanagement, ask for Danielle and focus on the chow."

First let me say, visiting from San Diego, we found the Best breakfast spot in Melbourne, Florida, wow what Avery good yummy spot, I had the pancakes combo with a very good side of Grits. Waiters are very courteous and service so prompt and friendly, best feel inside to, cozy, a must breakfast spot.

Little Bit of Everything
Bobby H.

Was a little hesitant about the place at first because of the wait and slow pace. Definitely diner vibes and didn't know of many places in the town for breakfast. Once we got our waters I knew it wasn't going to be too bad of a wait. I ended up getting the "Little Bit of Everything" breakfast with no pork with grits and hash browns and cupcake pancakes. I loved the breakfast. Pancakes were moist and cooked perfectly, eggs not hard/runny. Wasn't super big on turkey bacon but still good! Grits were excellent with a little pepper. Great classic southern diner, definitely better than IHOP.

Omelete
Mary W.

Always a good sign when the place is packed. They have local photograghy decor. Friendly attentive waitresses! Great food presentation with good portions and prices. I'd definitely come back to try a different dish.

My husband and I stayed at the holiday inn Express & Suites in Palm Bay for one night during the…read morethanksgiving holiday season to visit his mom. Despite booking last minute we were upgraded from a King to a King Suite because of our points membership. The room was exceptionally clean! And it was huge! Much larger than your average King suite. I wish I took pictures but we were exhausted by the time we arrived. The front desk staff were very kind and the beds were more comfortable than my own memory foam at home! Seriously, I NEED to find out what mattress and/or topper they use. Despite being in a connecting room (it could be connected if we wanted to but we didn't have any others with us), there was absolutely no noise at all which I was worried about in the beginning due to some really excited kids (not their fault it was thanksgiving after all ); but the front desk staff almost immediately kindly asked their parents to settle them down. The only thing I will say is that the free breakfast buffet wasn't too great but it is a 3 star hotel and it was free. TLDR: The Holiday Inn Express & Suites has exceptional kind customer service, large super clean rooms, and INSANELY comfortable beds! I highly recommend them for a good night's stay.

The cleaning staff has been on top of their game every day we came back the beds are made (king bed and fold out couch). Nice clean and Military friendly location. If you want hotel with breakfast included it's a value added place. Lots of handicap parking and several electric chargers.

My husband's slider was pretty good though and since it was the daily special, it came with fries. It was also a reasonable price which made it even better. Plastic chairs are not our thing but the area around the fire looked nice. The drinks were inconsistent, one looked and tasted good, the second one had no garnish and tasted like they also forgot the alcohol. I doubt we'll go back.

Was told that they couldn't do sliders because the Portions for the $9 happy hour apps are 1/2 portions to the regular $18 apps!! We had the nachos and then the flat bread which were good. Our bill total at that time was about $50. When we realized the Groupon amount balance would be lost I ordered the 12 ounce ribeye ($36) and the appetizer wings ($9) to go. When we got home I saw that the 12 ounce ribeye looked small so I weighed it. It weighed 6.8 ounces!! The 5 wings were the smallest wings I have ever seen. I took the steak and wings back the next day. First I was told that since it was. Groupon there wasn't anything they could do. After I was complaining that their advertising that the ribeye was 12 ounces and mine weighed 6.8 ounces the manager said they would prepare another steak for me. The steak was good but only weighed 9 ounces. When I questioned the wing sizes the manager said she realized that they were and she had been trying to change that. Not a good experience. View was nice The 1/2 portion of appetizers and the deceptive ribeye weight are not going to bring repeat customers.
