    Now I understand why the parking lot is always full. Reasonable prices, nice portions, & delicious food. I'm sad I've never been here & I lived less than 10 mins away for almost 10 years. This will be my new breakfast stop. I plan to come at least twice a month to support these sweet hardworking women. They are friendly & welcoming. My eggs were cooked as I requested. Hash browns were not over done. Pancake was wonderful, best I've had & huge. Plenty of seating & bar area. They have mimosas & beer. I can't wait to try more of the menu. Stop in, you won't be disappointed.

    This place is delicious, service is always friendly. Current menu 2025!

    Had a nice breakfast with a friend here at Southern Sisters. I enjoyed the fact that they had both tables and booths . I ordered just a plain cheese omelette which was really good which came with shoestring potatoes and a biscuit ( too salty) otherwise everything else was good . The server was very friendly and quick with our order. Prices are a bit pricey but I enjoyed my visit

    I love my breakfast/brunch/lunch restaurants and I often review on a curve for local mom-n-pops. However, there will always be a time when even that curve doesn't show any favor. Sadly, that is the case for this current outing to Southern Sisters Cafe. The quaint restaurant, which looks like it had an Italian or Roman theme prior to it being the Southern Sisters Cafe is located on the northside of Sarno Rd. in Melbourne (Eau Gallie). The interiror is a unique personalized version of what Cracker Barrel does as there are miscellaneous knick-knacks, pictures, and gizmos from the olden days just strewn about on the walls and horizontal surfaces. Where the Southen Sisters Cafe kinda dropped the ball was with the food. It was either a hit or miss depending on who ordered what. Apparently, the omelette and eggs benedict were good, but my simple options were underdelivered. For starters, I asked for over medium eggs and they were over easy (very runny). The biscuits to gravy ratio was off meaning there was far too much biscuit and not enough gravy. Yet, the sweet potato pancake was amazing. Better than any other sweet potato pancake I ever had. On a sidenote, the service was kind and prompt, the price of food was generally on the high end of less than $10. Finally, the restrooms were a little debrised but not too bad. I will give The Southern Sisters Cafe another chance to help even out this review. But for now, they are an average mom-n-pop diner.

    Fried Chicken!

    FIRST time I've stepped foot into this place in 50 YEARS! Not since it was Pizza Oven. The teenager in me was glad to be back. The adult in me was happy, too! EXCELLENT food! Very very friendly and polite staff as well! What more can I say? How about high fives for Shannon! She was the Wizard of Wow, taking magical care of my dining experience. THE best fried chicken I've EVER put in my mouth!! The krispiest, krunchiest krazy great fried chicken! Every bite into that golden brown goodness was grand! Yet the insides were juicy delicious. I'll repeat. Incredible fried chicken! Fantastic folks! Super service! THAT....is true Southern hospitality.

    Chicken Parmesan too much for just one! Yummy!

    At my neighborhood Southern Sisters Restaurant. Great down-home cooking. Reasonably priced, excellent tasting food. My family has been coming here for years. Worth the return visits over and over again!

    Chicken tenders
    Derek A.

    Decided to try it out for lunch (as we have always had great meals for breakfast) and..... again it didn't disappoint! Everyone there is so friendly and welcoming when you walk in. I ordered a turkey club on sour dough and onion rings, wife ordered chicken tenders, fries and a cup of their potato soup (and of course a biscuit a MUST). The soup came out first, I was lucky enough to pry the spoon away from my wife to get a taste, it was SO good. Loaded with cheese and bacon it's my wife's favorite. Then came lunch, my goodness huge portion of chicken tenders and fries (wife couldn't finish them) and much to my surprise what I can only assume as home made onion rings (definitely not from the freezer dry battered O rings). What a great meal! (I don't know why we never have tried it out for lunch)

    Sweet potato pancakes
    Tiffany J.

    Great service! I had breakfast with my toddler and they were so accommodating. Food was good. I especially enjoyed the sweet potato pancakes

    Country Fried steak, hash browns, eggs over medium, a biscuit. (We added a side of bacon)
    Hope I.

    Great prices and good food dont get any better from a diner than at Southern Sisters Cafe! Friendly staff who really take the time to know their regulars, not to mention they are very supportive of their veterans and senior customers. The decor really reflects their patriotism and has a "back at home" feel! There is a bar available which is nice if you decide to dine in alone, or tables and booth options for multiples. Their [country fried steak] is always great! Hash browns and eggs cooked perfectly. Their biscuits? Holy cow are they good! Perfect southern style biscuit, crumbly and cakey - absolutely perfect with some soft butter. The [chicken tender] plate is your classic tenders from a diner! Their okra are awesome and worth mentioning as well. And the biggest must mention (in my book) are their [MIMOSAS]! If you like your drinks poured with a "splash" of OJ, this is where you want to get your mimosas from! (And for only $8 at that) Make sure you have a sober driver with you, if you're 2 mimosas deep you're going to be feeling great by the time you leave! Lol

That said there were people who came in 20 minutes after us and they got their food before we did. We ordered the fish and chips,with a side of carrots ,meatloaf with broccoli rice casserole carrots. Pork chops with grilled onions, and some kind of honey bourbon sauce, baked potato and broccoli. The fish was a generous portion,heavily coated with panko. Very crispy but just too much breading with thin pieces of fish. Fries were declared good. The meatloaf was a generous 2 slices with a rich gravy. Broccoli Casserole and carrots. She said her meal was delicious. I had the pork chops, 2 Chops. They were a little overcooked and had grill marks added. but unfortunately the grill marks were burnt marks. Which left a terrible burnt taste in those bites. The baked potato was good but very small , maybe the size of a large new potato. I didn't receive my broccoli until I had almost finished my meal and had an unpleasant spicy taste. It shouldn't take 45 minutes to get your meal. Our server was very pleasant, maybe had too many tables or just thought we were older women and couldn't make any money off us? When I finally cornered the server, I said my chops had a bad burnt taste, she said really and handed me my check. Not very encouraging for return visits.

    First visit to Fiesta Azul Tequila House, and based on the amount of food that somehow ended up on…read moreour table, we clearly came prepared to investigate the menu properly. We started with the chips and salsa, which were fresh and crispy, followed by the queso and guacamole. The queso was good--pretty much your classic cheese dip--but the guacamole was fresh, creamy and absolutely delicious. Of course, we also had to try the margaritas, and now I understand why this place is known for them. Fantastic. Fruity, flavorful, beautifully presented and dangerously easy to drink. Then came my favorite thing of the entire meal: the birria ramen. The noodles had that perfect bouncy chew, the egg was cooked beautifully, and the broth somehow found the sweet spot between traditional ramen and rich Mexican birria. It didn't taste like someone simply dumped birria into a bowl of noodles and called it fusion--it actually worked. The chicken mole enchiladas were enjoyable, but didn't execute that traditional flavor coming across a bit bland and lackluster. I also assumed there would be cheese inside with the chicken, and there wasn't. That's on me! Next time I'm asking for cheese because I think that would've made a huge difference. And finally, the molcajete arrived. Loaded with grilled meats, seafood, vegetables and fresh cactus, it was extraordinary. So many different flavors and textures packed into one dish, and the cactus was especially good. Definitely one of the highlights of the meal. Service was good, everything was clean, though the restaurant has a somewhat bland yet modern atmosphere.

Let me tell you this was the best Mexican I have had since I moved from California where the best Mexican food exists besides Mexico. I had the ahi tuna ceviche. Best ceviche I have ever had and I have had ceviche through out the world. Best, hands down. The flavors coming out of this dish had me talking about them for the last 4 hours. Phenomenal. My family had various dishes, chicken quesadilla, a chicken mole, a burrito, a taco, and a veggie dish. All reported better than a typical place. They had some really interesting things on the menu, so can't wait to get back there. Service was great and there were a ton of people there. Food presented well and tasted fresh. Chips and chipotle dipping salsa were excellent too. Bathrooms and dining room were spotless and for a place that has chips, that is a difficult feat. Well done! This is a must try. Let me know what you think!

When JoJo finally appeared, he was apologetic and somewhat frazzled. I question the necessity of the Manager pulling all the servers away from their patrons at the same time. It was strange. While it didn't ruin our night, it was an avoidable interruption. It may be a little while before we return as competition in that area is fierce. When we do, we will request JoJo to serve us again. I am giving 3 stars due to the Manager's poor decision and leaving the patrons confused by the "ghosting" by the server.

We've been having family drive big takeout orders down here from this location whenever they visit and it is just as good as I remember. The ribs are fall off the bone tender, and the barbecue sauce is the perfect blend of sweet, savory, and smoky. The cornbread is soft and sweet, the toast is buttery and thick, the coleslaw is chopped small and not too wet or too celery heavy. And the BEANS. I love these baked beans. They have pieces of pork in them and are perfect. I could eat an order of just beans and be happy. I've also recently discovered their sausages, which pair so well with the spicy barbecue. Their coconut cream pie and chocolate pie are delightful too. I've never eaten in here so I can't speak to the actual restaurant experience. That being said, the staff do go out of their way to pack the orders in the catering trays when they hear we're taking it long distance. We have sometimes had issues with pieces of the order getting left out, but they've always been very good about making it up to us.
