By Amanda Aharon, Owner & Publisher of Macaroni Kid South Brevard March 11, 2024

Don't feel like cooking? Can't say we blame you!

Luckily South Brevard has AMAZING restaurants, many of which have pivoted to offer great meals for families at-home during the pandemic. Whether you want to dine-in or eat out, here are where South Brevard kids love to EAT:


Squid Lips

1477 Pineapple Ave, Melbourne 32935

We love the beach seating at Squid Lips. We always bring sand toys so my little guy can play in the sand while we wait for our food. My son loves their Mahi tenders and french fries. They also serve the kids meals on a frisbee you can take home.


Makoto's

785 S Babcock St, Space 4, Melbourne 32901

Who doesn't love hibachi?! It's entertaining and super delicious! The chefs who come to your table to cook the food are funny and talented. We also LOVE their sweet carrots! Bonus: Kids eat FREE on Sundays with the purchase of an adult entree.


Long Doggers

Locations in Viera, Melbourne, Palm Bay, Satellite Beach, Indiatlantic, and Cocoa Beach

We love the outside seating and the music! They also have lots of kid-friendly meal options and best of all the icecream fridge!


Backwater

1904 Municipal Ln, Melbourne 32901

Backwater is our favorite breakfast spot. They have griddle tables so you can make your own pancakes! They give you the batter in squirt bottles so you can make cool designs and they have add-ins like chocolate chips and marshmallows! They also have some great vegetarian options.


Texas Roadhouse

Locations in Palm Bay and Indian Harbour Beach

They have a very kid-friendly atmosphere. I never feel like I have to worry about my kids being too loud when we are there. The servers are friendly and the food is delicious. They also have a night where kids eat for $1.99 (varies by location)


Pizza Gallery

2250 Town Center Ave, Melbourne 32940

The kids love the fish tank, art area, and playing by the fountain in the back. They also give the kids a piece of dough to play with while they wait. Plus their pizza is delicious! Bonus: Kids eat free on Wednesdays!
