Just a short drive up the riverfront, Brad stops at Lazy Turtle Riverfront Grill & Tiki Bar — a relaxed, tropical-meets-riverfront hangout tucked right along the Indian River Lagoon. With palm-tree shade, an open-air patio, and a lively tiki bar, Lazy Turtle nails that easygoing Florida vibe. The menu covers just about everything: fresh seafood, prime steaks, burgers, sushi, and tropical drinks that fit the setting perfectly. One recent 2025 review called it “a cute little hidden gem” and said it “might have been our best meal down here” — and honestly, it’s hard to disagree. On a breezy afternoon or mellow evening, sitting out back with a drink and watching the water is exactly the kind of simple escape that makes life on the Space Coast special. If you go, try the lobster roll, a seafood special, or a steak if someone in your group is leaning classic comfort. 📍 Lazy Turtle Riverfront Grill & Tiki Bar 4445 Dixie Hwy NE Palm Bay / Indian River Lagoon #PalmBay #PalmBayFlorida #LazyTurtle #BrevardCounty #SpaceCoast #SpaceCoastEats #FloridaFoodie #LocalEats #IndianRiverLagoon #PalmBayRestaurants

For our third stop, Brad heads a bit farther up into Melbourne to visit Grills Riverside Seafood Deck & Tiki Bar — a longtime favorite for seafood, sunsets, and that “right-on-the-water” Florida feeling. Perched along the river at 6075 N US Highway 1, Grills Riverside blends good seafood with a lively deck atmosphere that’s perfect for groups, casual nights out, or a laid-back dinner after a long day. Their menu offers grilled fish of the day, coconut shrimp dinners, shrimp kabobs, fish tacos with a tropical kick — plus ribs and steak if someone in your group wants something non-seafood. The vibe here is more energetic: open-air decks, friendly staff, cold drinks, maybe some live music, and boats drifting by in the distance. Visitors often say Grills gives them the feeling of “getting away” without ever leaving town. If you’re out with friends, hosting visitors, or just craving a night where dinner comes with a breeze and a view, Grills Riverside delivers that relaxed-but-vibrant Space Coast experience. 📍 Grills Riverside Seafood Deck & Tiki Bar 6075 N US Highway 1 Melbourne, Florida #MelbourneFlorida #SpaceCoast #GrillsRiverside #BrevardCounty #FloridaFoodie #SpaceCoastEats #MelbourneRestaurants #IndianRiverLagoon #LocalEats #FloridaLife

Discover one of Palm Bay’s true waterfront classics — The Shack Riverfront Restaurant & Outback Tiki Bar. 🌅 In this episode of Palm Bay Treasures, we stop by a decades-old local favorite where the vibe is pure Florida: seafood plates, salty breezes, boats drifting by, and that unbeatable golden-hour glow over the lagoon. You can slip into the cozy indoor dining room, or walk straight out to the open-air tiki bar where the water is just steps away. Fresh fish, shrimp (fried or grilled), and comfort-food favorites keep the menu simple and satisfying — but the real magic is the setting. Good food, good company, and the water… that’s The Shack. If you time it right, the sunset turns the whole lagoon gold. It’s one of those small escapes that reminds you why we love living on the Space Coast. 📍 The Shack Riverfront Restaurant & Outback Tiki Bar Palm Bay, Florida
