If you like authentic and well prepared Japanese cuisine, then Makotos is your restaurant. I have been a customer of this establishment for nearly 20 years, and I have never been disappointed by their service nor quality of food. Dining takes place around a large table in which a grill is set in the middle. Customers sit around the table (usually room for eight or nine people) as a Japanese Chef prepares individually ordered entrees. The food preparation and cooking is a show in and of itself. As the food is cooking before your very eyes, your mouth begins to water as the aroma penetrates your senses. As each food item is finished cooking, the chef scoops ample portions on your plate. There is always more than enough, and most folks usually leave with a doggie bag of left-overs that is shaped into an "aluminum foil-animal" such as a bunny or a swan. If you are looking for a great place to dine where you will be entertained as well as eat delicious Japanese style food, then look no further. Makotos will ensure that you have both an enjoyable and memorable dining experience. less

I was going to give this place a try next week, but after reading the review dated January 2, 2007, I've reconsidered. Based on that Dine.com Review, the owner sounds rude and overbearing. Sorry, but I won't be eating at this place. There are too many other good places to eat in Central Brevard without having to suffer sarcastic comments from a surly restaurateur. less

For very good reason, I haven't been in Kloiber's for several years. When this place first opened, it was great. The service was friendly and efficient, and the food was delicious. The owner would walk around and greet his customers, and seemed like a genuine down to Earth nice kind of guy. We liked the place so much that my wife and I would eat there four to five times per week. Then, about ten years ago, something changed. The manager (I think she was the owner's wife), would argue with customers over the most trivial things. For instance, like when they requested things like one or two extra salad dressing, she'd pitch a rip-roaring tantrum. She'd finally acquiesce but not before asserting that there would be a charge for the extra dressing. I thought, hey go ahead and charge me if you want, but it was free the day before yesterday. Then, for whatever reason, the owner stopped greeting customers like he did during the initial few years . He would often be sitting on a picnic table, drinking a beer, on the outside of the back entrance. He would barely nod as customers walked inside. Since this happened on numerous occasions, we thought maybe he just didn't like us for whatever reason; however, friends of mine had received the same cold shoulder treatment. Then, a few years ago something happened that was the straw that broke the camel's back. It was 730pm and I was heading home from work. I thought I would stop in Kloiber's and get a Chef Salad to go. The food handler on duty was male who had been working there for a few years. The guy had long hair that went half way down his back. Well, he seemed none to happy when I placed my order to go. He said, "we close at 8pm, you know." I said, but it's only 7:35pm." He then said, "I'll have to charge you for the two extra salad dressings which will be a dollar extra." I told him that was fine. It was obvious this guy didn't feel like working, and was doing his best to dissuade me from ordering. When I did not relent, he then got the lettuce canister out of the fridge and took off the lid. Using his long guitar-strumming fingers, he started stroking the back of his long hair. That did it for me. I walked out without saying a word. The food guy got what he wanted, and Kloiber's lost a regular good paying customer. That night was my last visit to Kloiber's. I could tolerate the cold shoulder and the resentment over the extra salad dressing, but I will not put up with an unsanitary food handler. Hopefully, that guy is now gone, and Kloiber's is back on the customer oriented service track. I realize a lot of people really like the place and that's fine. My last several experiences there were not good ones. Like I said those experiences were from a few years ago. I might give them another try in the next few weeks just to see if anything has changed. Who knows, maybe I'll be giving them more stars on the next review. less

I had the Sizzling Fajitas for the main entree, and they were delicious. The Black Bean Soup made an excellent appetizer. For desert, the cheese cake topped everything off real nice. As always, Paulette did a fantastic job serving the food. Overall, I have no complaints, and highly recommend this restaurant to anyone wanting authentic Mexican-Cuban cuisine. less

This Cracker Barrel opened about 15 years ago. I remember it being a fairly decent place to eat for the first couple of years. Then, something happened and things got really bad. Service became sloppy and food quality slumped to that which is typical of interstate eateries. About five years ago, I got so tired of the poor service and quality that I stopped going in there. Tonight, I decided to give them another try, and I'm happy to say that things have improved. First off, I think they have a new manager who appeared to be on top of things. My waitress, Christine, was very energetic and attentive without being intrusive. Because of her, I gave this place an extra star for a four star rating. I ordered the turkey dinner and it wasn't half bad except the dressing had the consistency of paper-mache, and pretty much tasted that way, too. The mashed sweet potatoes were delicious. Overall, I have to say that the place has improved since my last visit over five years ago. I hope it keeps on improving. Titusville sure needs more good quality restaurants. less

The other day I phoned in a carry-out order for a Combo Ginder and a Greek Salad. When ordering by phone, they want your first name, last name, and telephone number. I thought the girl was going to ask me for my height, weight, and social security number. I brought home the food and was very disappointed. The greek salad was 90 percent lettuce that was mostly brown. The grinder had fallen apart and most of the toppings (i.e., tomatoes, olives, etc.) were laying loose in the bag. It was a real mess. Half the grinder remained intact and was okay, but nothing to brag about. I think this place is over rated. From now on, when I want a sub or sandwich, I'll go to Pumpernickel's or Subway. When I want Italian, I'll go to Valentino's. less

I come here for an early breakfast every now and then since they are open 24/7. They are down the street from Super Walmart's, so I can kill two birds with one stone. Anyway, the food at this IHOP is okay, but nothing to brag about. You do get ample portions so I guess you get plenty of bang for your buck. The service has always been friendly. In my estimation, they are a notch above Denny's. less

I ate lunch here a couple of months ago. I had a cheeseburger and French fries. The hamburger was brolied and not grilled which is okay if you like it that way. The french fries tasted like they were baked after being frozen. I ordered a coke and received a 12oz can of Coca-Cola and a glass with some ice. The server was very friendly ans so was the manager. While it has been years since I've eaten breakfast here, I remember that their breakfast meals were delicious and not very expensive. less
