List 14 Budget-Friendly Restaurants Near You in Vero Beach, Florida (Part 2)

Karen Strouse One of very favorites in Vero, we love the staff and especially Catchi. The food is always good, as are the drinks. Our family is in Ohio and they always make them feel special whenever they are in town.

Heather Stevens I just picked up the third large take out order Ive placed with Phatz in Vero. I just have to let everyone know how amazing Phatz is. Every time the orders have been correct, on time, and delicious! Irianna behind the bar was friendly and fast! Super impressed with this place and the staff. Try them out if you havent, you wont be disappointed!

Edward Morton My wife and I had breakfast here on Monday morning, August 18, 2025 while visiting Vero Beach. We arrived shortly after the restaurant opened, so we had our pick of any table. We decided to eat inside at a table overlooking the outdoor deck, the beach, and the Atlantic Ocean, which was getting rough due to an approaching offshore hurricane. Our server Jessica was prompt, attentive and friendly. I ordered the traditional Eggs Benedict and my wife had the Banana Nut French Toast. Both were delivered piping hot and tasted delicious. Inside decor here is casual and somewhat whimsy like a Jimmy Buffet island song. We enjoyed our breakfast and even came back later the same afternoon to have a drink at the bar before heading back to our campsite to shower for dinner.

Michelle Miracle First time eating at the Twisted Lime and it was fantastic! The food is fresh and tasty. The menu is not typical, has an interesting flare and twist to ordinary dishes. We all had difficulty deciding what dish to order because we wanted to order them all. Lots of drinks to choose from as well. They have cocktails, beer on tap, and bottle. Seating and parking is ample. We did not have to wait to be seated with a party of seven. Our server was attentive and kind. The restaurant is clean with very clean restrooms. They have outdoor seating and a bar you can sit at. If you’re looking to entertain they have two private rooms you can reserve. Great place to eat and drink! I highly recommend and I will definitely go back.

Kris Murphy We arrived early and hung out at Sailfish next door before they opened. The outside area is vast and comfortable, but we decided to eat inside on this occasion. It was our first visit to this establishment on our "Tour de Vero", and they certainly pleased. This is a high-end restaurant with excellent service and the patience of saints. The wine list and bar are quite impressive, but we came for food instead. We tried the sushi and fish special; we were wowed. The pasta was made perfectly, and the seafood was exceptionally fresh - Im picky about seafood. Parking is free, and the beach is right across the street. Vero Beach has many good restaurants, and this is undoubtedly one of the best. The price was reasonable, but if you order high-end food, expect to pay for excellence.

Jaime Claire and I had a wonderful lunch at The Wave in Vero Beach! The atmosphere was relaxed yet elegant, perfect for a mid-day getaway. For drinks, Claire had Gloria’s Cosmo and I tried the Old Cuban. Both were excellent and expertly crafted. We started with the Black Bean Hummus appetizer, which was flavorful and fresh. For our mains, Claire had the Mojo Marinated Chicken (which I have to admit, I wish I’d ordered because it was incredible!), while I went with their famous American Wagyu Beef Burger, which definitely lived up to its reputation. Great food, great drinks, and a wonderful experience overall. Highly recommend The Wave for anyone visiting Vero Beach!

Aliah R. Wow... The Prosciutto Sub... The star of this masterpiece is, without question, the combination of paper-thin, salty prosciutto paired with creamy, pristine fresh mozzarella. This duo forms the foundational richness, ensuring every bite is simultaneously satisfying and delicate. But what truly sets the sub apart are the vibrant, complementary components. A bright, sweet, and slightly acidic balsamic glaze is drizzled generously, soaking into the fresh-baked Italian roll and melding with the fat from the cured meat. 10/10

Rey Perez I am ecstatic to find this gem of a restaurant. The food is amazing, had the special pork shank, then the shrimp and grits, but really everything is amazing. Beats the food at all the restaurants in vero beach, worth the short drive. Family running place, amazing food, fun atmosphere. I forgot to take a picture of food, but have the one of both me and my wife’s dinner!

Tanya Crews First time eating here. Very calming vibe. Food was good. The key line curd in the waffles was deeeeelicious. We really liked starting with the pastry basket, definitely worth the $10. Our server was good but could have been more attentive.

Jonathan Murray Best meal Ive had in Vero. The basic explanation of hospitality. Kudos kittys you guys are above and beyond thank you so much

Kristin Eden The Best Wings on the Treasure Coast hands down, I cant say Ive had better wings anywhere else. The Wing Sauce is made daily. The wings are cooked crispy. There are no comparable wings around. The Jalapeños Garlic sauce is my favorite with a side of Italian pain. The Crinkle Cut fries are crispy. Theres nothing served mushy. Ive never had a poor dining experience at Nicks.

Rose F 5 stars across the board for our experience at Toro. This place is the real deal and this was genuine hibachi as it should be. Previous ownership used gross noodles and we never returned until now. First off, new ownership has saved this place, they are using lo mein noodles now as it should be. It’s clean, the waitress was so sweet, staff was friendly, atmosphere is better than before, feels more open and welcoming in the dining area for some reason, likely the windows/blinds. Our chef Deedee and the food was incredible. He was respectful, professional, friendly, attentive, and knew how to cook the food perfectly. Seriously…steaks were perfect, noodles and rice best we’ve ever had from a hibachi place, veggies tasted fresh, even the appetizers were quality. Clear soup had fresh mushrooms, which you could taste. We rarely find a good place like this, so we will absolutely be back. Please give this place a try and your family will surely enjoy it.

Christine Bergman My son (a chef at a different restaurant in Vero) took me to Mai Thai Bistro for an Omakaze experience. Ive been looking forward to going there when I visited from out of town. This place did not disappoint! The tasting menu of little sushi masterpieces was exceptionally delicious and fun! The chef was gracious, charming, and knowledgeable. He created such luxurious tasting offerings. Each course was sumptuous- toro, uni, waygu beef, and more. The courses were artistic, and imaginative. The sauces were perfect, and the garnished were pretty and also added another layer of flavor. Each was balanced with savory, spicy, salty, and umami flavors. It was a bucket list experience!

Robert C-A My first time here - visiting from out of town. I had the bread with shallot butter which was delicious. I never would have imagined how good shallot butter could be - especially when the bread is perfectly soft inside and the crust is right. My main dish was the Beef Wellington - which is what drew me here. Let me tell you that meat was tender, full of flavor and probably the best Beef Wellington Ive had anywhere. Thats saying a lot. I ate the cookie bowl with ice cream for dessert - a nice way to finish on a sweet note. It is really a local place, nothing fancy and not too big. They had lively music playing. The menu isnt big but there seemed to be something for everyone. If you enjoy places like this you should give it a try.
