Fresh would be an understatement…read more First time in. We were greeted and had our order taken in the clean bright interior. The Don's Super Italiano was served on fresh bread and was a large portion. Al of the meats were flavorful and the veggies fresh. The Melbourne Bulldog was a delicious ham and turkey sub made my way. All the ingredients were fresh with all the meats and cheese cut to order. We made combos and props for size of chips. Not the small size but a true portion. And the tea was sweet and delicious. Trust me, my better half is a sweet tea connoisseur and it passed muster. " best I have had in years." Protip: they will wrap half to go when they make it. Two meals for one price. SCORE!!! Lastly and most importantly the staff were very friendly. Engaging and treated us like regulars. And there are regulars we saw come in at the rapid rate. We will be back.

This counter-serve sub spot delivers classic deli vibes with hoagies that are stacked, packed, and unapologetically delicious. The bread? Artisan-level. The meats and cheeses? Premium. The veggies?

Whether you're grabbing a signature sub, a veggie-packed option, or pairing it with one of their homemade sides or desserts, Don's doesn't just feed you ... it spoils you. They've got a 4.7-star rating on Google for a reason. Fast service, friendly staff, and a menu that hits all the comfort food notes without cutting corners.

The dining area is full of small tables and surrounded by niche and bespoke pastas and sauces and cookies. Staff were very friendly and they obviously have a slew of regulars that kept coming in.

**INITIAL REVIEW**…read more Most of my fellow Yelpers know if food were categorized by a genre, breakfast and brunch has a special place in my heart. Ergo, I am on the constant search for more breakfast and brunch places to add to my repertoire. With that in mind, I must stress that Historic Downtown Melbourne a.k.a. Melbourne Main Street has an amazing number of breakfast and brunch places. But the one I admire the most is The Roots Restaurant Tavern, which I will shorthand simply to The Roots for the remainder of this review. Though an address is provided, it must be stressed The Roots is a little "off the mainstreet" of Melbourne Main Street. Just west of the train tracks, the road splits in which the northernly direction is the continuation of New Haven Ave. or the actual Melbourne Main Street. The Roots is on the southern road, right next to The Iron Oak. Take note that The Roots is quite a cozy location. On the outside, The Roots has this look of an old saloon out in the wild west. There are a few tables and chairs for outdoor seating, excellent for people-viewing while eating your meal. Inside, The Roots looks delightfully tacky with all the knick-knacks hanging around and about on the walls. Imagine how Cracker Barrel used to look before the new CEO decided the decor should be more minimalist. But my statement on how The Roots looks small from the outside definitely shows when you are inside, too. The place is small. They definitely utilize the space as best they could, with large party seating being in the back for only one party. Still, take note of this limitation. My waitresses were very kind and attentive when serving me. But I am sure you all want to know about the food. The times I have eaten here, I have had three meals: The Eggs Benny Flight, and Pancake Flight, and Shrimp n' Grits. I will detail each in the pictures of food (if I have them), but I will say that everything here was delicious. My one lone criticism is that some of these flights are best enjoyed with another, not by yourself. On a sidenote, the restroom is clean and stocked, but there is only one and it is unisex. As I said earlier, The Roots is the best breakfast and brunch restaurant, well for me, in Historic Downtown Melbourne. So it is understandable why I am giving them a five-out-of-five stars for their review. Food, service, and ambiance are all excellent and the issues are way too minimal for me to consider them having any major affect. If you are ever going to eat at The Roots only once. My suggestion are the flights. Either eggs bennies, pancakes, or mimosas, you can't go wrong with any of them.

Facility: It's a small place located on a strip in downtown. There are a few tables outside, and inside they have tables and chairs and a few high top tables and chairs. The dinning room had a very cute, country feel, and they are playing country music over head. It was a little cold inside though, so bring a jacket. They have a couple TVs on the wall so maybe they play sports games too. Service: the waitress, Jen, greeted me when I walked in along with everyone else. She was very friendly and patient while I decided what to get. It was early morning but I asked if the lunch options were available too and she said that they could make me something off the lunch menu if I wanted. That's great customer service!!! But I ordered breakfast. LOL! I just overheard her helping another customer and they asked for something custom and she was so nice and accommodating. Keep her!! Food: menu looks great with lots of southern comfort food choices such as country fried steak, pancakes, breakfast sandwiches, omelettes, etc. I ordered the shrimp and grits and a side of hash (since she said it was homemade). Shrimp and grits: 4.5/5 the flavor was there, but the grits could have been just a little hotter. The cheese didn't even really melt on top. But it was delicious... I'm from Louisiana and eat a lot of shrimp and grits and this was good. Shrimp was perfectly cooked. Hash: 5/5 when she first brought it, I thought it looks exactly like what you get in a can.... Until you take a bite. Amazing!!! Very good hearty cornbeef flavor fried crispy on top and soft underneath. So good!! Overall: The food was great!!!! Service was perfect and the ambiance comfortable. I would definitely come back and try lunch at lunchtime.

Facility: this place was like a typical sub place with a counter to order and places to sit and eat. It did have some outdoor seating too, which is nice. And I love all the deli meats in the display right at the counter. Service: The people who helped me were great. They cut the meat fresh for my sandwich and they were super nice and patient going through my choices. Food: Now this was a good sandwich. I got the Italian cold cuts and it had lots of flavor with the dressing and pepper relish too. It was a small, but it was two servings for me, because it was nice and big. Overall: I would definitely come back for another sandwich here. Now I look forward to trying their other sandwiches too. And thanks for the free sandwich (with my coupon).
