The Picky Piggy, Melbourne, FL (2026)

12/05/2022

For a Chinese buffet… this one gets the gold star in Brevard!
The restaurant is stunning with its neon lights, huge buffet area and well presented sushi bar.
The koi pond is just so magical with its large rocks, wooden arched bridge and assortment of healthy and huge koi fish! You can even feed them!
The sushi is always fresh. This place stays busy so if you go at lunch or dinner time, they are always putting out newly made rolls and sashimi.
The hibachi grill is fast with amazing options like steak, chicken, pork and assorted veggies. Always remember to bring some cash so you can tip them and the sushi chefs!
The hot bars are vast! Filled often with crab, a dozen shrimp dishes, beef, pork, fish, chicken, soups and every side you can ask for!
Even the little ones will be happy with their fried foods and French fries which take up an entire row.
There is ripe fruits and cold seafood too.
Deserts are cute little cakes of every flavor and color but not to be outshined by the many choices of ice cream (green tea is my personal favorite!)
If you are looking for a cheap buffet meal that is worth more than what they charge, make sure you try Crystal Hibachi

A fine dining kebab place is hard to come by in Melbourne but this place fills that lack of options very very well!
It looks so small and quaint upon entry but opens to a very inviting space with large glass windows that let you see the newly updated (or added?) patio dining.
The food is just amazing! And let’s talk about portion size! Not only is the food worth their price, it comes in such a large size there is little doubt to NOT having a whole meal to still go home with.
The hummus here is out of this world! I love a good hummus but truly adore the flavor of tahini which is often not used or such a small amount it’s hard to recognize. This hummus is HEAVY on tahini and as my personal preference it might be the best I’ve ever had.
The chicken and kofta were juicy and just COVERED in a delicious garlic sauce! I also asked for a side of sumac which to my surprise, was available. Truly makes kebabs go from a 8 to a 10 with that spice for me.
The salad was also large and extra feta added to the already beautiful flavor.
The dolmeh or dolmades was the biggest surprise… I’ve never had it warm before. Pleasant but unexpected.
I will now be craving this meal again and again and must go back soon!
The belly dancer was very experienced and so engaging. Brought me back to the time I used to belly dance in my teens .
Thank you Skewers for a wonderful experience and incredible food!!

Newly remodeled but still holding onto the same flair!
This place is so eclectic! Truly a vibe and feel outside of Brevard county.
The 18 cent cup of bean soup is for everyone and must be ordered! Even for non bean lovers, the broth is worth the price. I’m a sucker for a good deal!
The potato balls are always a good go to. Soft yet crispy, filled with a small amount of cheese. Salt is not heavy used so I tend to salt each bite and it’s perfection!
The corn beef has been my personal go to over the years, its so unique and yet traditional. The delicious stone ground mustard is such a marriage.
The crab cake was so large! A whole meal unto itself, though it still needed a bit of salt! Easy fix
The toffee desert was SO sweet but dang! Was it amazing!
Overall, this place is so needed in a small town with few options for this food fare.

Do you like chocolate? Fine dining? Unique atmosphere? Steampunk? Robots?
If you answered yes to any of these THIS place is for you!
Be sure to make a reservation weeks in advance because this is not a place you can just walk up to unless you have the luck of the Irish.
The restaurant has a lavish feel with velvet booths, cogs and clocks everywhere including staff dressed from a Jules Verne novel.
From the chocolate inspired drinks to the giant overly stuffed and sweet milkshakes to the small portions of morsels… this place is something all its own.
I have humbly dinned here many times over the years and have yet to be disappointed.
The drinks are very eclectic and made for chocolate lovers!
The food is prepared beautifully and has quite the presentation.
The only reason this is not a five star is the food is a gamble of it’s price to quality from visit to visit.
Out of all the dishes we ordered the only disappointment was the short rib. It was more fat than meat, and the carrots were completely RAW! So this dish was mostly uneatable. This go around at least.
The filet was cooked to a perfect rare as requested with and amazingly flavorful demi glaze, chunky but creamy mash and thick yet soft asparagus.
Many deserts and cocktails were ordered and out of them all, the chocolate old fashion was the highlight!
The chocolate bread is a must try but something that is so sweet, it’s best saved for desert.
Our service was fantastic! Our server, Sarah, was beyond sweet and kind and absolutely adorable! Thank you Sarah for making this dining experience even better.

What a beautiful spot!
Surrounded by water with a gorgeous view, this restaurant is somehow in the center of the park and yet completely tucked away in its own corner with a feel of a true small Harbour.
The indoor decor is lovely, charming and truly feels like a lavish steamboat from the turn of the century.
The service was fantastic! Very charismatic host and a knowledgeable server.
The food itself was the let down… the menu still boasts it has bread service. It does not. A huge disappointment for a table service restaurant such as this.
A French onion soup and New England clam chowder soup was to start.
The French onion soup was beefy, rich and warm, covered in an amount of cheese that could, indeed, be too much for some. Not me! The bread was thick so that again is up to debate on preference. Not mine in this case.
The clam chowder was gelatinous and the clams were hard to find. It was merely a forgettable soup.
The shrimp Alfredo was a large potion with giant shrimp. However it lacked flavor. Completely bland with almost no texture. The noodles were soggy and extra limp with no bite. The sauce needed seasoning and tossed in a larger portion to make the noodles worth eating.
For the price and quality of food you get, I would say this place is not worth the visit BUT the view and atmosphere is a delight and a great spot in a stunning building with cool A/C that gives the wary theme park goer a much needed break!

The best restaurant in Islands of Adventure!!!
It is always smart to make a reservation ahead of time if possible.
This restaurant is a goliath sized cavern made for the gods themselves. Situated in a beautiful cave like setting, this place truly feels removed from the modern world.
The inside is cool and relaxing with beautiful torch lit ambience and natural light that fills the entire large room.
The service was fantastic! Very courteous and knowledgeable, with a class that feels more fine dining than anything else.
However, we asked if there was a bread service, and to our surprise the answer was confusing. "I will see if there is any and if so, available" which lead my party to wonder if this was by request only? Or not always offered but maybe sometimes? Still, I am unsure.
We ordered the filet medallions and grilled cheese.
The filet was perfectly medium rare! Amazing demi glaze to boot. The mash potatoes were extremely salty, almost not edible, you have to green beans or undercooked, and under salted.
The grilled cheese was very gooey, the bread was perfectly toasted. However, it was placed on top of the tomato bisque, which, of course made it soggy. Even though packed with tons of flavor, it would have been better if the soup was served on the side for dipping. A few pieces of pork belly were over cooked and chewy.
For desert we shared the toffee crème brûlée. The whipped cream was too generous so that was scooped off the the side. What laid underneath was a culinary masterpiece! The toffee flavor was so present in this dish with a delicious creamy yet slight gelatinous center. Absolutely sinful. I only wish we had ordered 2!
Overall this place has some improvement or perhaps it's just my personal preference.
Either way, I adore this place!
Beautiful views with a fascinating and delicious menu
