Oh, yeah, and La Preferida food truck. Awesome street tacos and salsa verde!

wife and I split the Big Island chicken nachos when we go there. Not so good as a takeout. We also like Skewers. Both insanely close to where are we located, so we are pretty much sheltered. We do like the fire mac and cheese and pork and chicken combo with collards and hush puppies at Charlie and Jakes in IHB. They have a decent beer selection.

Thanks for the feedback. My wife loves Skewers but, that cuisine (Mediterranean, Lebanese, etc) is not my favorite. Too much lemon.

This is from a take-out only point of view...Thai Thai II is the best option. 2nd - Bizzaros (large white w/ extra garlic) for the "not so healthy" option. Jimmy's Greek Food truck was amazing when he first started, then he moved to a 2nd location and the beachside one went downhill fast and is gone now. Too long of a drive to get to Jimmy's remaining location, and sadly, the few times I went the portion/quality was a disappointment compared to his first location.

'Too Cool Cafe' in Indian harbor beach is a nice local breakfast place. Ichabod's dockside in Melbourne Marina has great food, but I haven't been there in awhile.

-------------------------

Somebody - Forgot about Ichabod's. That is one of our favorites, too. Good fresh fish with good selection (cobia, wahoo, and a few others that are hard to find). Great atmosphere, too. Never been to Too Cool. We either go to (what used to be) Elaine's in Indialantic or Sunnyside Cafe in Mel Bch. (Both are close which is key for breakfast.) I've heard good things, though.

Rusty - Never been to Yoshi. Will add it to our list. Thanks.

Nini's, across the street from Skewers. Bonefish Willy's on Pineapple, north of Eau Gallie. Marsh Landing in Fellsmere. Hazel's in Palm Bay. La Estancia de Luisa, Palm Bay. Kind of from more to less expensive. Invert for atmosphere.

add a signature since I'm here in profile anyway

thanks. I've heard good things about Nini's (from a Cuban friend who says it is the best). Hazel's is one of my favorites (but not my wife's; I hit it when I'm in the area for lunch), and Marsh Landing is fantastic. Will have to give La Estancia a try. Bonefish Willy's turned me off for good the one time I ate there several years ago. They served a really, REALLY nasty slice of tomato right dead center on the top of my and my wife's starter salads. I thought that if they were willing to do that, there is no telling what they might try to hide. Maybe unfair to only give them one shot, but, that tomato was freaking disgusting and it was in plain sight.
