First time trying Vessel today with a friend. We stopped in around 1:30 and the place was steady with customers (always a good sign!). You order at the counter, and the young lady helping us was super nice and very helpful. I grabbed a canned soda, but learned they have tea with free refills--definitely trying that next time. She even offered a cup of ice for my soda, which was thoughtful. Since they're on the beach side, straws are paper. For food, I had the tomato bisque soup--great presentation and nice flavor, though I personally would have loved it a bit creamier. I also tried the goat cheese crostini. The flavor was good, but it was served on a basic toast. I think it would really pop on a sturdier, toasted bread for a better texture contrast with the creamy goat cheese. The space itself is simple and beachy. They have about 7-8 tables, with bench seating on one side and chairs on the other. Heads up: no padding, so if you're like some of my family, you may want to bring a cushion (LOL). We didn't feel rushed at all even though they close at 3pm, and it was nice to enjoy our meal and conversation without feeling hurried. Parking can be tricky in this area, but we found a spot across the street and walked over. All in all, Vessel makes for a pleasant, casual spot for lunch. I'd definitely come back to try more of the menu! read more

Vessel sandwich is a hidden locals gem. Came here recommend by a local ... this is one of those places that you will not find unless you're looking for it. Hidden in a small shopping center on a one way back street. Definitely worth the effort. Plenty parking spaces and a nice outdoor seating space outside the restaurant. We ordered an avocado toast which was so good. Fresh tomatoes and avocado slices on top of a toasted bread with a drizzle of oil and like a vinegar reduction. Very good. The veggie wrap with chicken also very good.... ingredients are so fresh and the sauces are all home made that makes a huge difference. And last but not least was the pork belly Banh mi. Pickled veggies and pork belly inside a magnificent French like type of bread with again a delicious home made sauce and topped with cilantro and added syracha for a kick.... delicious, simply delicious. Everything was excellent... the service was perfect and prices are very good. Also wine and beer ... always a plus. read more

Docking a star due to the horrific ventilation system. Every time we go there it smells and my eyes burn from all the cooking and lack of ventilation; you leave with your clothes reeking. Food is still great but won't be coming here unless it's nice out for outdoor seating.. read more

Really cool little spot. Yes that kale salad is the bomb! Shrimp bun great too. I'll be back to try more! read more

I drove over to Flagler Beach from Gainesville to reach the beach!! Success! As I was leaving town, I wanted something delicious and light! I opened up my Yelp, looked around, and I picked this place, because it was not a chain and the menu looked like somebody behind the counter was thinking when they made it! The server kindly took my order, and I love places like this because they are smalll enough to be polite and sincere at the same time. Instead of the latter without the former! The lavender tea was very nice! It is an unassuming place with a bench with small tables going down the wall and a few stools in the front looking out the window. Two patrons are sittting at the bar talking to the server as she wraps up her day. (They close at 4pm today) One of the cooks comes over and interrupts their conversation and make them laugh. Thank-yous bounce around in the air. I saw two nice briskets go into a slow-bake oven. On the side rack, cans of diced tomatoes and red peppers are flanked by the largest tub of Nutella I've ever seen! I wonder what they make with that!!? The food is well thought out, creative and delicious! Probably the best veggie wrap I have ever eaten. Crazy flavorful!! Look at the ingredients!! Even the whole wheat wrap was warm. Nice touch! This will be my spot, when I come back to Flagler Beach again, for sure! read more

Cute little sandwich shop in the heart of Flagler Beach!! The best grilled cheese sandwich!!! Made with aged cheddar, fontina and apple apricot mostarda (basically this amazing jelly spread). It is warm and gooey, the bread is perfect! The staff is friendly and is conveniently located right across from the beach. I have to give this place a shout out. I hope the owners know this place is a gem! Hurry up and get your grilled cheese on!!!! read more

Vessel Sandwich - Grown up grilled cheese - Salad Near Me - Flagler Beach, Florida

Nestled in right off the Main Street, this is arguably the best local spot in Flagler Beach. Where to begin? Let's start with quality of food. Everything here is fresh. When I say fresh, I mean it is profoundly the freshest food I've had at any place I've been to and I travel, internationally often. I highly recommend the grilled cheese with a vessel salad. It's delicious. To note: the lemonade here.... I'd drink a gallon. The staff here. Well... they're family (literally). When you walk in you feel that presence and warm and welcoming atmosphere. I know there's a lot of other commercialized lunch spots in Flagler Beach that have "curb appeal" but skip that nonsense and eat at a local staple. Vessels is the jam. read more

Hot fried chicken feathers - get them. Goat cheese crostini - get them too. Chicken Salad sandwich - if you're lucky since it's not on the regular menu. Wife loved the veggie wrap. Better order 2 chicken feathers while you're here. Oh yeah and the thin and crispy chocolate chip cookies were so good, as we bit into them driving away we literally turned the car around, circled the block and went back for more to take with us!!!!! read more

We just had lunch here....amazing! I ordered kale salad with shrimp and avo toast. Scrumptious! My husband ordered Minorcan clam chowder and ham n' pepper sandwich. Went quickly! We are considering living here! We decided to order and pick up a take out due to the Caronavirus. Our food was ready at time we arri and was a delicious an hour later as it would have been eating it there! The Vessel and kale salads are scrumptious as well as the po' boy shrimp and pork belly sandwiches. To top it off we bought their tasty chocolate chip cookies. This is a wonderful restaurant and we need to support them and the the many other places hurt by the shut down. Again back during the shutdown. Our food was packed so professionally and will deliver to your car outside. Don't let this time deter you in having a fabulous meal! read more

Wow, this place is great! Every menu item is tastier than the last. Super fresh ingredients, super inventive combinations... Don't miss the kale salad; it tastes like a preserved lemon simply liquefied over bright fresh green kale and toasty (but not too hard) croutons! The shrimp roll was phenomenal as well-- really light and just buttery enough. I loved the creamy cauliflower soup too-- though it could have used just a dash of salt. The staff was all incredibly friendly and warm as well... Can't imagine a better lunch spot than this! read more

Vessel is what you hope every sandwich place will be but never is. About 10 sandwiches on the menu consisting of diverse flavors such that it's hard to choose but not terribly hard because there aren't too many choices. I had the brisket sloppy joe. Every part of it was amazing. The brisket was obviously slow cooked, the flavor saturated throughout every bite. The cheddar cheese was sharp which allowed it to compliment the barbecue sauce and the brioche roll was soft but crunchy at the slice for being toasted or griddled. It came with a side of coleslaw which was the more mild variety and I dumped it right on my sandwich and ate it all with a fork. I also had a house shandy which was absolutely perfect and I'd heartily recommend even to people who don't like beer. I was recommended to Vessel by the folks at Swillerbees and they weren't wrong. It was delicious and I would totally come back. read more

Love this place. Great food with an eclectic spin. Love the salads and crostini Staff is always polite and welcoming read more

Wow! That's all I can say after biting into their Shrimp Po' Boy. Large crispy fried shrimp, fresh bread and delicious prosciutto made the perfect combination. My wife got the Smoked Chicken Sandwich that had amazing house made pickles and a white BBQ sauce that made this sandwich over the top! I wish we had one of these sandwich shops back home. The staff took COVID-19 precautions with constant sanitation and masks. I was pleased with the fast friendly service and would recommend this being your first place to eat if your are on vacation and only here for a short time. *PS: I forgot to take a picture because it was just that good. read more

A great sandwich place in Flagler Beach. Owned and operated by a couple. Soups and sandwiches we had were great. Friendly and fresh (the sandwich). Nice looking inside, not lame Beach décor. Closed at 4PM Except Friday at 9. Closed Sunday. The bread was tasty. No fries. The menu may vary a little. No TV (good). Music playing. Beer on hand. read more

Their veggie wrap was such a good choice. Would love to go back and try more of what's on their menu! The inside was cute and well cleaned. My entire family was pleased with their lunch choices. You could tell they focused on wholesome meals with healthy ingredients. My favorite kind of meals! Will definitely be back the next time I'm in the Flagler Beach area. read more

You know, the food is good. I problem I have is the lady behind the counter scratched her hair then handled our food. That was a couple years ago, and we never went back. Hopefully, they have changed their ways since then. read more

So good! We really enjoyed our lunch here. Kale salad and hot chicken feathers were excellent!

Kale salad with shrimp salad is my all time favorite! The shrimp roll is my second favorite! Not to be missed!

We saw all the great reviews for Vessel on line and could not wait till we tried it. We got takeout yesterday, and we were kind of disappointed. I had the shrimp po boy and it was dry, my husband got the pork belly and he did not not like it, and there was not much pork at all. My mom got the grilled cheese and said it didn't have much flavor. My daughter got the vessel salad and said it was good . Best part was the chocolate chip cookies , but, they were 1.50 each! Just thought that was a little expensive for regular size cookies. Sorry vessel, but, I don't think we will be coming back any time soon. read more

Everything is fresh, scratch and delicious! My favorite Chef in Flagler by far. Dare I say the only real Chef in Flagler Beach in my opinion. read more

Really interesting sandwichess but not pretentious. We got the red chowder, (ask for extra pepper sauce) grown up grilled cheese with prosciutto, and the pork belly sandwich. All were fantastic. read more

No one does Avo-toast better. Cute little place. Don't go often because it is too small, but the food and atmosphere are definitely worth it. read more

This place is reason enough to visit Flagler Beach! We stopped in for lunch and ordered the Avo Toast (a guacamole meets bruschetta combo), a shrimp po boy and a unique take on a Vietnamese bahn-mei. The shrimp were fresh and came with a home made garlic aioli on a brilliant French bread. Rather than the traditional pate and cold cuts this bahn-mei came with a crispy pork belly; lots of fresh daikon, carrots and cilantro topped it off. AWESOME. Worth mentioning was the ice tea that was fresh brewed and you can really taste the difference. The staff and service were friendly and made us so welcome. read more

Excellent fresh food. Good service. Delicious salads and sandwiches and the very best clam chowder

Great lunch joint! I was in the area for business and a local recommended Vessel. Lots of mouth watering options to choose from but I went with the grown up grilled cheese and am so happy I did! read more

Vessel Sandwich - Grown up grilled cheese from Vessel. Amazing! - Salad Near Me - Flagler Beach, Florida

Moved down here in April and the Banh Mi sandwich is the best bite of food I've had in Central Florida. Can't wait to try the salads and some of the other sandwiches. The people are friendly and vibe (music) is great. Gonna be here a lot. read more

OMG! So yummy! I had the pork belly sandwich and I savored every bite. A nice, relaxed sandwich shop.

Great salads and sandwiches in a comfortable local restaurant. The lavender tea is delicious too.

Ordered the Pork belly, was substituted with pork tenderloin but was amazing just the same. Cooked to perfection, the sauce was was served with it paired perfectly. Super friendly staff. I definitely recommend this place for a great lunch and will be back! read more

Ridiculously good sandwich shop! This is what you would want to own, if you owned a sandwich shop! And yet I had a salad- but it was the Kale salad with Chicken Feathers! I had seen recommendations on Yelp for the Kale and felt I had to try it. Now I can't stop thinking about this and how good it was!! And there were so many other items I wanted but glad to have the salad and feathers... kale was perfectly fresh and the dressing was sublime! Feathers were spicy and tender and I want to figure out how to make these myself!!! Some great other ideas included brisket sloppy joes, but it will have to wait for another time. If I could get back to this little hole in the wall restaurant in a cool old school style Florida town... I'd be there in a "New York" minute. read more

Yup, this place is great for lunch. Friendly, attentive service is the first thing that stands out. Then, it's delicious food that makes for an "I'll be back" experience. Everything we tried tasted fresh and homemade. Unbelievably to me, the kale salad really is stellar. It's worth noting that it's not a cheap lunch since sides and drinks are a la carte. But the value is there due to excellent food quality and service. read more
