“A group of us went for the early bird special -which is an amazing deal- and ate so much flavorful, juicy, fresh meat! Tried and liked them all. They have a large tasty 3 station salad and hot bar to fill up on as well. Try it once at least! (you'll want to go back). Staff is very friendly, helpful and casual; it's fine dining without the uncomfortable stiffness that often comes with fine dining. Chef was taking requests.

This location definitely compares to the original K-Pot.”

This place serves awesome breakfast sandwiches which is also complemented by wonderful staff. Thumbs up and must try if you're in the area and craving a good and fast breakfast. Will be back next time.”

“We like going to Parkway Creamery. It’s more helpful that they take cards and we don’t have to make an extra trip to get some cash. My family has tried ice cream cones, blenders, Dole Whip and a root beer float. There are tables out front with umbrellas. There are some parking spaces out front and around the back. There’s also a drive thru if you don’t want to get out of the car. We recommend it.”

“I ordered a gyro combo with a soda. $14. It was HUGE! The gyro had to be 3/4 to 1 full pound! Mustafa skinned it right off the rack and it was awesome. It appears to be a one man op, so give him some time if he's busy. Not sure if you can call ahead, but that might be a good idea. He's down in the food court by the theater. It gives you that old school feeling of eating in the food court, again, albeit right next to closed Sbarro. :D
HIGHLY recommended by a fat guy!”

“Great BBQ! Tried for the first time Thursday. Went back Saturday for some more.”

“Back in December 6th 2025 had dinner with friends and I had to come on here to give props to the waitress. She was amazing bc she not only gave us excellent service, she did it while training a new waitress and didn’t miss a beat! We all commended her on how impressed we all were. She had the right amount of courtesy and skill to wait on us, give us recomendations, advised us up front if we were ok with her training while she waited on us; felt she gave the trainee the right amount of training with respect and dignity. Not hovering over her as she allowed her to serve us. Very courteous and respectful towards the trainee. KUDOS!!! 5+ Stars!”

“Bri is a great bartender . She really takes care of her customers .”

“Before yesterday, I had only had two perfect lattes from Starbucks. Both of those were from the Merritt Island N. Courtenay Parkway Starbucks. Yesterday, I was astonished to get a latte there that surpassed the ones I had thought to be perfect (only 2 over the past 2 years). I don’t often treat myself to a Starbucks latte, so it was even more special to have gotten a latte that was over-the-top delicious. Many thanks to Emily. Starbucks: please clone her! On a scale of 1 to 10, I give Emily an 85 (yes, FAR off the scale). I think it not possible to get another latte better than the one I had yesterday.”

“I got a quinoa bowl with Korean Beef BBQ, and four toppings, with ponzu sauce. The meat looked like it came out of an ice cube tray and tasted a bit funky, but everything else was pretty good. They have a broad selection of toppings and sauces. It cost $12.99 plus tax.”

“Staff is friendly and fast. Everything is clean and well maintained. The subs are made so well here! I swear they taste better here vs any other shop. I will go out of my way just to go to this particular subway for this reason! Keep it up! You all are amazing!”
