One of my favorite places to go, had lunch with my girlfriends here. Nice menu, snappy service and excellent food. My corned beef sandwich was delicious, made just how I like it. The other girls all raved about their choices, we will be back!

Hands down the best neighborhood restaurant/bar in Brevard County. The food is delicious, and meticulously prepared as new items rotate on their daily specials and their Friday Fish Fry is a staple. The staff is friendly, helpful and always above and beyond whether behind the bar or serving. Melissa is the best thing since sliced bread (make sure you refer to her as Missy). Sandy has a great establishment. Finally make sure you ask for a side piece of your favorite entree!

First time. Old time vibe. Live music on Saturdays. One woman show this night with 60/70's female rock with a little country. Really pretty good. Seemed like a lot of regulars who cleared out by the end of Happy Hour at 7pm. Service by Kaitlyn was so personal. Great suggestions, friendly and efficient. Soft, freshly baked rolls, hot from the oven. Tossed salad with great house blue cheese dressing. Had the special Jack Daniel's Rib Eye Steak. Delicious, tender and perfectly prepared. Nothing fancy, just really satisfying. Ended up taking some Peanut Butter Pie home, recommended by Kaitlyn. We'll be back!!

Prime rib is great. Red skin mashed potatoes and broccoli with cheese perfect. Burger tastes homemade and smoky. Buffalo wrap is yuuuuumy. Really cool tavern style restaurant. Decorated with Tiffany lamps. Lexy the waitress is super cool and efficient. I think on weekends she should probably have help. Super friendly place. Will come back.

Rooney's is nothing more than a true Palm Bay establishment. We are far from being "regulars". We show up generally on a Friday night about every two weeks. Yet we are immediately recognized. They know we prefer a table to a booth. And they know we are there the haddock fish fry but still bring menus Incase we'd like something else. The patio area is well shaded and the evening shore breeze ensures it is generally full of customers enjoying meeting with friends and having a relaxing meal and great beverages. Parties of all sizes can be accommodated, as while we were eating a birthday party was setting up, and in another area a family of at least three generations were enjoying being together. I'll have to take a picture of the menu for submission next time we are there. But suffice it to say, it is typically varied from beef, to poultry, and seafood and their evening specials are actually that, not generally something already on the menu. I've stated before Rooney's is a wonderful place for a meal. Please stop in, so you can echo that sentiment.

Thank you, Rooney’s, for a great time Saturday afternoon for our Q-bit Corporation reunion. Nicole did an outstanding job of providing very attentive service and was mind-blowingly accurate in keeping track of everyone’s orders and individual tabs. How she managed to do that with very few people staying stationary is a wonder to me. She was well supported by all the other staff who stepped up as needed. The food was delicious and the menu selection was just right. Rooney’s was a great spot for us and being in the back dining room was ideal. Our gathering was so successful we’re looking forward to doing it again in the fall. Thank you, Stephanie, for making our event planning so easy!

Wow! Was pleasantly surprised with this one. When we came in I was a tad skeptical since there was a live 1 man band in what looked to be a very happy bar. We found our way around to the hostess stand & were seated in the back for a quieter dinner. The food was AMAZING! I had the Live & Onions & my husband had the ribeye. For being a 10oz steak it was actually a really nice size cut (it could have used a heavier hand with seasoning) but was great. The liver & onions instantly brought me back to childhood memories of my dad & grandma & our dinners together. 10/10 would recommend!!
