Locals may remember the Rum Island Grill. It was a pricey and somewhat pretentious eatery located at 490 E Eau Gallie Blvd in Indian Harbour Beach.  Originally it is called the Rum Fire Grill, but it changed it's name to Rum Island Grill, reportedly because of copyright infrigement or something like that. In any case, it recently closed and I had been wondering what was going go take it's place.Question answered! The very popular Charlie & Jakes BBQ that I told you about a couple of years ago and located across the street is moving into the larger facility. When I blogged about them last, I said that they didn't need a larger facility. Obviously I was wrong. They are really upgrading!   05/16/2016

If you live on the Space Coast and you love avocados as much as I do, I have a great tip for you! The Winn Dixie store on Eau Gallie and A1a is having a sale on Hass Avocados.Yesterday when I walked in, they were selling for $1.25 a piece. Today I stopped in to pick something up, and there was an entire table full of Hass Avocados on sale for 50 cents a piece!This is a great opportunity to stock up and maybe try grinding up some of those pits to put in your morning smoothie!   04/27/2016

Tucked away in a small, slightly obscure location on South Patrick Dr just north of Gleason Park is the Too Cool Cafe. Located on the edge of Satellite Beach and Indian Harbour Beach this funky little eatery appears to have formerly been a service station. There are several tables outside of the Too Cool Cafe  should you feel like dining outside. When you walk inside of the Too Cool Cafe, you will see a chic, hip restaurant where the wait staff all are wearing fedoras and black t-shirts with suspenders. Well, now you know where the Too Cool comes from at the Too Cool Cafe!Chef, CJ Hughes, purchases fresh and locally whenever possible and this is reflected in the food at the Too Cool Cafe. The menu is varied and tasty and just about anyone can find something that they will enjoy. The Too... 04/26/2016

I shared on Tuesday about how nice it was to see the little car with eyelashes on my way to the office. Last night I had another precious encounter. I stopped into the local Lowes store in Indian Harbour Beach around 7:30pm. I walked into the store and was walking past the outdoor furniture section when I saw something out of the corner of my eye that made me stop and look. Sitting there on one of the outdoor patio couches was a very real cat IN THE STORE!  I stopped and said hello, and slowly approached the beautiful and petite feline. I was immediately greeted with a loud purr! The cat had a collar on so I flipped the tag over and learned that the cat was named "Ella". On the back of the tag where the owners address and phone number goes was "Lowes" and the store number. I picked up t... 02/10/2016

I woke up this morning not exactly feeling 100%, so I stopped off at No. 1 Chinese to pick up some soup for my tummy. As I pulled into the parking lot to run in and get my soup, I pulled right in front of this happy little car. I don't exactly know why, but she immediately put a smile on my face. I had to take a picture and share. Enjoy! 02/08/2016

So I am always willing to share my favorites...fav pizza place, fav BBQ, fav Happy Hour...etc... Well my favorite sandwich shop by far is Doubles Beachside in Indian Harbour Beach.First, a little history. Doubles Hoagies opened in 1983 (across the street from the present location). It was a small sub shop that (from someone who came once a week back in the 80's) was always packed. I was very happy when the new Doubles opened. It is a very large space that has plenty of tables, pool tables, a bar inside the sub shop as well as a separate tiki bar that opens at night.The hoagies (subs) are really good...with plenty of meat. My favorite is the Friday special...half  a tuna sub (it is still huge) with racquet fries and a drink for only $6.34The inside bar seems to always have a large group ... 12/09/2015

Happy Healthy Human, an organic market and cafe, closed down in September much to the consternation of those of us that loved this little whole in the wall place. Happy Healthy Human was the local place that I could go to and find oddball things like organic Kale, seed crackers or healthy, tasty, ready to eat organic salads. Unfortunately, the front staff at Happy Healthy Human  were often slow, poorly trained and had very little personality  if any. The POS system was confusing and slow for the staff. Because of this, stopping in for anything  was rarely a quick in and out visit. I would imagine these issues to be contributing factors in this organic store closing it's doors. Well, as I was driving north on South Patrick this past week, I noticed that the door was open, so I stopped in... 11/29/2015

We have quite a few Italian restaurants here on the Space Coast.Over the years we have had a large influx in people who have moved to the Space Coast from the Northeast. Along with them comes the taste for New York style Italian food.Brano's Italian Grill has opened their second location here (the original is in Cocoa Beach) in Indian Harbour Beach (The exact location is 1940 Hwy A1a, Indian Harbour Beach, FL 32937). Brano's has good food and some nice daily specials, but what will make them stand out is the large outdoor patio that is a wonderful spot for enjoying our awesome Space Coast weather. With a location that is right across from the beach on A1a, and its proximity to shopping, condos and high end neighborhoods...Brano's should have no problem surviving a glut of Italian restau... 10/27/2015

You know how you dread walking into the DMV because you just know  you are going to be stuck there in a long line of people waiting and waiting and waiting.....Well...Never Have I Ever  imagined a time that I could walk into the DMV late on a Friday afternoon, get my tags and walk out within 5 minutes. This is what I saw when I walked in to my local office today...Woot! Woot!Today was my lucky day!  10/16/2015

Amici's Beachside Bistro has by all appearances been a very successful venture. The Indian Harbour Beach venue always seemed to be busy. The outdoor deck is popular; it is large across the street from the beach and has it's own bar. Then suddenly, I drove by this past Monday and the sign was gone....what?I drove by again yesterday and there it was...a new sign for Brano's Italian Grill. You may remember my blog about Brano's Italian Grill in Cocoa Beach. As it turns out, Amici's Beachside was successful, but according to their Facebook page, the owners received an offer from Brano's that they just couldn't pass up. Brano's website in Cocoa Beach doesn't say exactly when it is opening, but, the sign is up, it has to be soon!   09/03/2015

One disappointing aspect of the Space Coast has been the truly abysmal lack of good Mexican food. After living in Colorado for over 30 years and vacationing in Jalisco, Mexico regularly, I have been very disheartened by the lack of a really good  Mexican restaurant here! Not any more!I used to say that the best Mexican food Beachside was a my house! I may have to change that opinion! My friend Alan and I  had tried dining at Fiesta Jalisco  previously, but it was so busy we ended up at Amici's Beachside instead. Thursday night, after a particularly long day, I stopped in at Fiesta Jalisco for a bite to eat. I must say I was impressed!The decor is not the usual sombreros with Mexican flags...but instead is more upscale and nice! I was greeted by my super pleasant server, Oscar, who is a ... 05/17/2015

I've blogged about Coasters Pub & Biergarten in the past. This is a great Indian Harbour Beach pub that is pet friendly. Heck, the people at Coasters Pub & Biergarten are just plain friendly all the time! Well, this coming weekend from March 6th through Sunday March 8th is the 6th annual Coasters Pub Belgian Beer Fest.

  Canova Beach Dog Park It was a bit chilly here over the weekend in Indian Harbour Beach on Brevard County beaches.
