    Chubby Mullet Bar and Grill, 8685 US Hwy 1, Sebastian, FL 32976 3.5 Stars If this old curmudgeon can offer any advice to you young whippersnappers concerning working in the service industry, it is this, "If you are devoid of all personality or are prone to bad days, don't do it." I will always wonder why those who fall into these categories insist on being servers to the general public. Angie is our waitress today at Chubby Mullet Bar and Grill and while I tried earnestly to coax a smile from her, I failed miserably in my efforts. Despite her downcast disposition, I ponied up a 30% tip as she was on point. I put in an order for the Inlet Tacos with Mahi-Mahi and a Patty Melt. Awaiting Angie's return with our fare, we relaxed and enjoyed the beautiful views. One has to nod to the location, not that it matters in the review, but it is gorgeous down here. Before too long, Angie brought our order and after taking a few pictures, I settled into the job at hand. The Inlet Tacos are served in warmed tortillas filled with cabbage, manchego cheese, pico de gallo and a special house sauce. While I found the fish slightly above average, the special sauce is the highlight. It was complex and flavorful on the palate. The resulting piquancy was a delightful surprise to my taste buds and outweighed the average-tasting fish. The beans were tasty, though they lacked a "wow" factor to garner any special mention. It's all about the sauce. Moving on to the Patty Melt. This is the reason for the 1/2 Star that pushed this over the bar of average. The burger was cooked to perfection, juicy and agreeably seasoned. The accompanying side of fries, without doubt of the frozen variety, were deep fried to a model golden brown while keeping a tender inside. Whoever was slinging the slop today was on point. The Big Boy says, "There is nothing wrong here and while the views are spectacular, the food was only slightly above average and there is much better similar fare and views less than a mile away."

    Fresh, tender, crispy Calamari

    This is a hidden jewel of a place! The small, rustic restaurant is located in a marina (just north of Sabastian) overlooking the river. Super friendly staff and awesome laid back atmosphere with 70's music softly playing over the speakers. We fell in love with this place immediately. The meals we ordered were absolutely delicious and oh so fresh! The fried calamari was tender with a crispy coating. The fried cod was astonishingly good. So fresh and perfectly fried and served with their house made tarter sauce. The coleslaw was crunchy and the vinegar dressing was perfect. The Manhattan Clam chowder was so good, it felt like a perfect comfort food. We enjoyed this place so much that we made a point to return again on our way back from our travels.

    Website advertising $2 Draft Beers during happy hour but charging $2.25 as of 8/5/22.  Website needs to be updated.

    I'm not sure where all the great reviews came from, and it was the reason we decided to make the drive over to give this place a try. Extremely disappointed in the service and the food. We sat outside to enjoy the relaxing view of the Indian River, though there were trash cans placed about 20 feet from the outdoor tables where the waitresses emptied the trash from the food tables. We each ordered a beer which took 20 minutes to be delivered to our table. It was not terribly busy, and there was no reason given for the lengthy delay. It was definitely not the coldest beer in town as another reviewer mentioned. It took our waitress another 15 or 20 minutes to come back to take our food orders. Food came another 30 minutes after that. Both the fried cod and mahi were rubbery tasting. The coleslaw was dry and bland. It's pretty bad when the best thing in front of you are the french fries which came out of a frozen bag. On their website draft beers are advertised for $2 during happy hour from 3pm to 7pm. When we received our bill, we were charged $2.25 a beer. When we questioned it, the waitress said that whoever does the upkeep on the website information must not be doing their job. She did not honor the $2 price that they currently have posted. Of course, the most amazing thing of all is that The Chubby Mullet doesn't serve mullet.... at all! Marking this spot off our list. Unless the service and food quality improves drastically, we won't be back.

    A bowl of clam chowder - really good taste
    Marcia C.

    Prices are very reasonable. The clam chowder was really good, as was my husbands chubby Mullet cod basket. Fries were also good. Happy hour offered beer and wine at $3.50 each. The only BIG disappointment was the side order of onion pedals. I was really craving some good onion rings so the pedals sounded perfect! They were so gross. They were frozen, thick breaded frozen crap. Looking at other food that came out, such as a salad with chicken, smoked fish dip and calamari looked good but hey, I didn't try those items

    Lucy M.

    Wow... My first impression was in getting pleasantly surprised. Don't let the outside appearance of the marina stop u from visiting. It's an indoor, air conditioned restaurant with a view of the water. The service was impressive. The menu has both seafood and land lubber selections. I ordered the fresh catch... A Mahi reuben. It was DELICIOUS . And yet AGAIN, I was impressed with the sandwich. So whoever is in the kitchen preparing these dishes, needs to be commended. The staff was incredibly attentive. I "WILL" be returning!

    Manny C.

    Great views and great people. This should be the tag line for this restaurant. The chubby mullet is located next to a shipyard and you can come and enjoy the scenic view and get a great seafood. Their menu has a vast variety of goodies and if you don't like seafood don't fret as they have burgers and wings to try as well. Stop by if you're in the area and Sunday's they have happy hour ALL DAY!

    Mahi Reuben
    Daphne R.

    I was in town for a weekend and my friend had suggested this place because of the Mahi Reuben and it did not disappoint! We also had some wings as an appetizer and those were delicious. The staff was super friendly and attentive. Highly recommend!

    Redfish basket
    D S.

    Went for lunch. Good sized portions. I had the shrimp basket - husband had the redfish basket. Both were delicious. Try the conch fritters. Great service!

    We wandered into the Village Tavern of Sebastian on a Saturday afternoon after running errands, and…read moreit instantly felt like one of those hidden gems you kick yourself for not finding sooner. We live just down the road in Vero Beach, so discovering a neighborhood tavern with this much charm practically in our backyard was a real win. We had already eaten lunch at Nini's Cuban across the parking lot, so we stopped in just for a beer. Within minutes we were pulled straight into the atmosphere. Nancy, the bartender and proprietor, is the kind of host every small tavern dreams of. Warm, funny, and completely at ease, she makes newcomers feel like long‑time regulars while keeping the whole place running smoothly. The beer selection is far better than you would expect from a cozy local spot. There is a rotating craft lineup that rivals bigger bars, along with the classics and a surprisingly solid wine list. We spent half our visit sipping and the other half laughing at the hilarious signs covering the walls and at the antics of a couple of regulars who clearly keep the place lively. We have not tried the food yet, but the vibe alone guarantees we will be back and we will be coming hungry. This is the kind of place where you settle in, meet the locals, and let the afternoon drift. For the record, our beer of choice that day was "Cougar Bait." It is as much fun to drink as it is to say!

    The food was very tasty. The portions are very nice, and the prices are very reasonable…read more Great little place to grab a quick lunch.

    Before I start the review I have a fun fact to share. Before I visited Pateidolia Brewing in Vero…read moreBeach Florida, I looked at some pictures and read some reviews. I don't usually read the reviews for breweries because I want to give an honest review based on my experience. But what drew me in is all the pictures of the draft board seemed out of focus and weirdly lit. I chalked that up to maybe not cleaning off the camera lense before taking the pictures, but what I found was quite the opposite. When I took my picure I also couldn't get a good shot. A little blurry and maybe slightly out if focus. And what I found is the place is fairly dark inside until your eyes get acclaimatted. And the way they have the menu board lit, there is a glare which makes all the photos of the beer menu board come out weird. I took multiple photos and finally settle on the best one, but it also wasn't great. So onto the review. It is small inside and has outiside seating. But what they lack in size, they make up in personality. Pareidolia is a little brewery with a big personality to match the name. Got to connect with the beertenders on duty Les and Kelly. Sorry guys if I misspelled your names, but you guys were awesome. I kept calling them Mel and Stacy, no reason why, but I did finally learn their names about the same time as I really started loving their wonderful beer. And another fun fact is their brewer is a lady. I am very partial to women who brew beer, because I feel like they do something a little extra that men don't. But that is a feeling or my own personal bias. So there is that. They have food here, but the food seemed more like an afterthought or a remnant of Covid where you had to have food at your brewery just to survive. We tried the Hawaiian flat bread. It was closer to frozen pizza with some extra toppings. But didn't come here to eat, and the beer was so great it over ruled any issues I might have had with the food. The BEER: 32956 Zip Code Hazt IPA 6.7% ABV... this has layers and they are all delicious Citra Surfer Hazy IPA 6.5% ABV... I really like this... clean and awesome Half Buzzed Hybrid Session IPA 5% ABV... I am not a fan of West Coast hops, I got a lot of grapefruit rind and a little dank happiness Chippy Throwdown Irish Red 5.2% ABV...

Pareidolla was my first visit and I can honestly say it was the best. The beer was awesome. Next time I return it will be my first stop.

    Stopped in after a long run and this place treated me way better than I deserved…read more I started with a Coastal Crush Blonde Ale, which is basically Florida in a glass. Light, smooth, a touch of pineapple, and dangerously easy to drink. After that I grabbed an Unruly Amber Ale. That one hit me with toasted malt, a little caramel, and enough bite to wake up my taste buds. Solid beer. No notes. For food I went with the Smokey Black Bean panini and wow it surprised me. Smokey, a little spicy, and packed with flavor. The chipotle ranch ties the whole thing together. Plus they give you hummus and chips on the side, so you feel like you're snacking and eating a whole meal at the same time. Win. The vibe here is great. Indoor seating, outdoor seating, people just chilling, dogs hanging out, locals talking like everyone knows everyone. Super easy to relax here. Overall, Pareidolia just gets it. Good beer, good food, friendly service, and a vibe that makes you want to stay a little longer than you planned. Definitely coming back.
