After wandering downtown, we popped in for some beers and food. There was a huge selection of beers. We tried the Cajun Gator bites as an appetiser, this was really nice, and we both had burgers for main, again these were good. In all, a nice relaxed atmosphere and good service.
Met with friend for dinner- first time for us. I ordered the pork taco and shrimp taco . Husband ordered brisket taco . The food was perfectly prepared and was delicious . I enjoyed a gin cocktail and friend had the house cab . Friend ordered flat bread pizza . Our server was awesome ( will try to post name - working on that !) Will be returning to try more items and the craft beers! Great job and thanks for a great experience .
We decided to host a party for our company's business social at Hell N Blazes. We looked all over Melbourne for a casual fun atmosphere which would cater to particular food needs as well as have a "Florida theme" place. Our clients were from all over the US and Canada so we were excited to show off Melbourne. We couldn't have been happier. Perfect game room setting where people could mingle and not feel chained to a table. The food was prepared to specification! They assigned two servers for our group of ~40 people. The servers hussled !! Offered friendly conversation and no one waited for a drink. They created an atmosphere of being in someone's home for a party.
Excellent service, food beer and atmosphere equals a homerun. We were greeted by the server as soon as we sat down offering his assistance and getting water for us right away. Once ordered our beer was delivered to our table quickly and cold. The food menu had a good variety of choices what we ordered was delicious. If you are looking for a microbrewery in the Melbourne area, do yourself a favor and go here first!
Hell n Blazes Brewing Co.- Melbourne, FL- 3 Stars Located in a building on New Haven that dates back to 1898, and most recently housed a small boutique catering to the Christmas season and tourists, one finds our destination of the day, Hell n Blazes Brewing Co. After being dry for 241 days and with nary a mention of grub in the name, I have to say that I was a bit apprehensive about my next meal. Upon entering it was obvious that, name notwithstanding, this place was built as a brewery first, food service joint as an afterthought. Even with the emphasis put on the brewing aspect, the whole came off as a very friendly design and the place was stocked with an extremely outgoing and charming staff. With a full bar and at least nine freshly brewed beers on tap, my mouth was watering. Foregoing the inviting libations, I turned my attention to the job at hand. Perusing the menu, it came off as your typical pub fare with enough creativity thrown in to make it interesting. My waitress introduced herself as Sara, and while she had the appearance of a headliner at Lilith Fair, she is super knowledgeable on the menu and spot-on to the point of being a 4-star server all day long. I asked Sara for one Goat Burger (medium rare) and an order of their Mac and Cheese. Counting the minutes as I tried in vain to divert my eyes from the whispering beer taps, I soon saw Sara approaching with my order. As soon as she placed my food on the table, I graciously waved her off, snapped the obligatory pictures and dug in. The bun the burger was served on a perfectly toasted delicious Kaiser bun. The meat itself was hand-formed and cooked as ordered, the sad part was that the mushrooms were obviously pre-sliced. That doesn't mean they weren't fresh, just that they appeared to perfectly sliced to be sliced to order. I could be wrong, maybe the chef is that good. The onions were sauteed to a delightful caramelization and the accompanying Arugula added a nice bite to the aftertaste. All in all it was your average pub burger. The Mac and Cheese was an appealing spiral Mueller pasta, however, the dish itself came off as being melted in the microwave. The taste was fine, again, nothing spectacular, but far from the bottom of the barrel. As the items sampled were ordinary, I would be wary of venturing away from your typical burgers and brew here. The Big Boy says, “For a wide variety of freshly brewed beer and good burgers, this historic building is a good destination to keep in mind!” #bigboydiningout #bigboy
Good ambience, but the seating isn’t comfortable. Our server was really nice. The beer flight and margarita were tasty, but the food was the real problem. My husband had a reuben sandwich (on the daily special menu) and I had the brisket grilled cheese and they were both incredibly dry. My hubby said the reuben barely had any thousand island dressing and only had a tiny amount of sauerkraut. The brisket grilled cheese had A LOT of brisket in it, but it was dry and didn’t have a smoked flavor; if there was sauce on the sandwich you couldn’t see it, and it had maybe one thin slice of melted cheddar. Also, I ordered the whipped russets as a side, but instead received garlic roasted yukon golds which were - - you guessed it: dry. ?
Met up with our friends for dinner and beers. The atmosphere is wonderful our server was great. We tried a couple of samples before we decided on our beer as they are craft beers. Ordered a smoked Cobb salad. Buttermilk chicken on a bun and drunken chicken. It was all delicious!!
This establishment has been a huge part of my wife and I’s life. We had our first date here and became frequent patrons with our children. The food, beer and atmosphere are so good and welcoming, giving off an old Florida rustic vibe which we love. There is a lot of history to the building and it is named after a lake about 20-30 minutes west. So, when it came time for us to decide on a wedding venue our first thoughts were Hell N’ Blazes. Honestly we had no idea how it would go over but we brought the idea to the owner and front house manager and much to our surprise they agreed to meet with us and plan everything. Fast forward some months and many meetings and emails later we were able to get married in our favorite place to be surrounded by our favorite people. Being the first full wedding there and full booking of the establishment we didn’t know what to expect but They blew the wedding out of the park and far exceeding our expectations. Everything turned out excellent, the decorations (we added a little bit didn’t change much), the setup for the ceremony and reception, the cocktail hour and charcuterie board, the accommodation of setup and getting ready, the food, drinks, and cocktails, everything was phenomenal. The staff did an excellent job being apart of my wife and I’s day and making sure everything turned out great. We are elated to be the first wedding to take place at HnB and hope they do more in the future. Thank you to everyone that was involved on our wedding day 2/22/22. Our guests say it’s the best wedding they’ve ever been to and we couldn’t have been happier with how it turned out. Thank you again!
Fun brewery. I liked the brisket and grilled cheese but it was hella expensive ($23 with double meat!) beers were great. Had a hazy ipa and got the German chocolate cake porter to share in wnter sprng
Great food, beer and atmosphere with friendly staff who can walk you through the myriad beer options and help tailor to your palate. If I had more thumbs, they'd all point up!
