The Broken Barrel Tavern

You wouldn't know it by looking at from the outside, nestled in a shopping center, but the food and service were great here! Would definitely go back. We just in the mood for wings and got them smoked. They were great just smoked and naked but we did pick a few sauces to dip them in. Highly recommend the bourbon bbq and the Hawaiian BBQ. I also got the butter Parm garlic sauce. Loved all three of them. The jalapeno cornbread has just enough heat (for me) with a drizzle of honey on it. For dessert we each had the bread pudding. Wow! It was awesome!

What a great place! Stopped in for a drink and then had a few more. Fantastic Happy Hour. Our bartenders Ben and Eric were super fun! It was our first time here and they offered us a sample of their pecan smoked chicken wings. Absolutely delicious! We WILL be back! 👍👍

Their BBQ is made with care, and expertise. Their draft beer list is great, and they are a rarity in that they carry a bottle craft beer selection as well. Everything they cook is one of a kind, no shortcuts. I love this bar!

We had the best pulled pork and their smoked wings were fabulous 😍

This shopping center and the outside of this restaurant look like they need a little TLC, but if you judge it by the outside, you'll miss some great food. We sat at the bar. Brian was a great bartender and server. He is so knowledgeable about their foods, drinks, and bartending in general. Very friendly and relates to all customers (including the kinda annoying/loud group next to us).

The fries (all kinds), onion pedals, wings, and chicken strips were delicious! My husband also liked the BBQ rolls.

We came in for a quick dinner and Abby took great care of us and she was nothing but attentive and outgoing. Ask for Abby! She is great and very personable! We love her!

Thus is a super place to grab lunch or dinner. The meals are tasty, the portions are the perfect size and the wait staff are on top of their game. When you visit be sure to try some of their BBQ. They have a large menu for all tastes, and a great drink menu.

We had our 25th wedding anniversary party there this past Saturday evening. We rented the front room and had a wonderful time. We only had 2 things we would like to see change .... That is the way the tables are set up for people to eat at and the speaker was not great for the juke box. By the way I used to not like the wings... They are amazing now...
Thank you for being there for us on our special day.

We were bored with local choices for takeout for dinner. We hadn't been to Broken Barrel for a while. We have always gone there for dinner. We ordered smoked wings, St Louis ribs, sweet potato fries, home made chip potatoes and coleslaw. We got it home and fit it all on 1 Ninja tray and baked it for 10 minutes. They gave us 3 sauces: A jous gravy, a worchester vinegar and a pineapple bbq. All very good. This was the best food I've had since moving to Florida 14 years ago. The ribs are unbelievable. The chicken equally great. The potato chips crispy and hot dipped in the sauces was fantastic and the sweet potato fries a nice finish. Their food is very thoughtfully made and packaged great. Well worth the money. Thank you

I stopped in to try their smoked and smoke-fried chicken wings. Word of mouth in Melbourne and me wanting to sample this treat had me purchase 8 wings of each flavor. The smoked wings were a light smoky flavor and the smoked-fried had the better taste to me. The selection of draft beers was a nice selection and the bartender was courteous and provided great service. I would recommend trying their wings so you can decide which ones you like the best. Washing them down with a flavorful draft beer is what I am talking about.

I have a business in the same plaza as the Broken Barrel and I've finnally decided to try out their food.

For take-out I ordered a pulled pork rib sandwich with bourbon bbq sauce, chip fries, and ranch. All of the food was excellent.

The insterior was clean and had a good atmosphere and the staff were friendly.

I will be eating here again.

Delicious food, awesome service.. very cool place.

Ribs off the hook friendly staff nicely priced huge salads highly recommend barbecue egg rolls and onion soup excellent

Paul was our server and did a great job! There were 6 of us and all of our orders were correct. Very nice environment for our family.

Held an event in the back room and had it catered... thanks Heather for helping arrange this and thank you to the servers they were great!! The food absolutely delicious.

Great place. Good barbecue, excellent beer selection, and fun atmosphere. Also excellent service - when our waiter got tied up with a large group, another waitress came over to help us out / cover for him. Ribs were very good. I need to go on a Wed for all you can eat ribs!

Very interesting take on wings! Smoked- fried! You definitely get the smoke, very good, worth trying, just different from the crunch of deep fried.

I have loved this place since they opened, amazing smoked wings, bbq and sauces, fish dip and blue fries are also some of my favorites. Had to pass on the bread pudding omg look up a pic of that thing lol, so good.

You've got to try the ribs. You won't be disappointed. Fall off the bone yumminess. Our app were the mozzarella sticks. The pièce de résistance was the sampler and the ribs. The sauces were delectable. I'm not a spicy fan so loved their Bourbon BBQ. We returned a second time for lunch (ribs are only available after 4 😔 and only until they are sold out) so I tried the pulled pork sliders, BBQ beans and a side Cesar salad. They make their own salad dressings. It was delicious. So if you're looking for a gem while visiting Melbourne, stop in and give them a try. Covid conscious? They also do take out

We come for wings almost weekly but tonight was exceptional. We ordered wings and they messed up but they overly fixed the issue. The manager on duty was extremely kind (overly so) and I can’t say anything but thank you!
