Malabar Mo's Bar & Grill — Restaurant in Malabar

I been here twice within a 1-month period to give them a fair run. Malabar Mo's is a cool little bar that today house that's converted to a commercial location. Malabar Mo's is known as our local biker bar the night's I was here I really didn't see any motorcycles or bikers or maybe I did and they're in regular street clothes.

The food here does not stand out in any way it's pretty average but there's really nothing wrong with that at all. Is it cool local spot close to the river with local people who work and live in my town some of which I recognize and I've seen around.

The service here is always good. The food comes out fast and it's very presentable. Nothing bad to say about this whatsoever. Now the alcohol is my biggest complaint. I simply ordered a vodka lemonade and I thought the drink was really strong but I didn't even get a buzz so ordered another one and thought it was really strong again and it wasn't. The next morning I realized from the headache I received but the drink wasn't straw but the vodka must have been below the well it was so low grade. The only other vodka that's ever given me a headache like that after two drinks is ABC house brand and Smirnoff. I'm not sure if it was Smirnoff but it did taste really strong for one ounce of alcohol mixed into a regular 8 oz cup so whatever it was it was undoubtedly cheap.

Second time I came here I was up with a party of seven people. The waitress was able to handle our table without any issues. She checked in frequently and gave us regular updates on the kitchen and what was going on with the food and the staffing. Every employee I've contacted at this location has been friendly.

I wouldn't necessarily call this location a date night restaurant but it's definitely safe for casual time. Let's just say it's not a first date location if you're looking for a romantic candlelit dinner with flowers on the table. If you're close by it's really not a bad spot to stop and have a drink I possibly need some local that's also a good spot to sip on your drink and listen to the crazy banter from a crazy Palm Bay residence at the bar. If you've been in town a long time these people will often tell a story to each other and you'll find yourself smiling and nod and remember the good old days...

Went for a second time and I’m not sure if it’s cause I’m young or what but I was once again treated like I wasn’t wanted. Asked for Simple things like ranch and refills and didn’t even get an okay she just brought it over. I could hear her being more friendly with other tables and it just made me kind of uncomfortable. Food was once again amazing but the servers need to be retrained or something.

I went here a few weeks ago, I usually never write reviews but every-time I pass by I’m reminded of my experience. Food was great service was horrible. She approached us with the worst attitude and was honestly just kinda rude. Me and my friend ordered tequila, sunrises or something like that, and it was disgusting. Just tasted like tequila and water. When she came back I apologized cause I hate sending stuff back but she kinda just looked at us like “what do you want me to do” so I was like.. can we get something else. And she said “I’ll see what I can do” and walked about and left the drinks at the table. We eventually got new drinks and she ignored us the rest of the meal. I’m a waitress so I know how it can get sometimes but the restaurant wasn’t busy at all, and we were being very nice despite her gross attitude. You’d think someone working for tips would treat their customers a little better. I still gave her a 20% tip even though she didn’t deserve a dime. She should look into a different profession. Will definitely be returning for the great food but will request a different server if we...

Arrived as the live band was packing up and ate with friends 4/6/25. Was craving fried pickles and most places were closed, but not Mos! Friends told me it was under new ownership or management or something and to let them know how things were. Called ahead for hours and went in around 7 or so- heads up, they close at 9, not 11 on Sundays! Our server was in training but was doing great, was prompt to greet us and help. The senior trainer was also very friendly. Sat outside and just missed the band :( will come earlier next time. Outdoor seating was well lit and comfortable. Ordered two plates of fried pickles and the pastrami sandwich. Fried pickles are pictured (ate a few before I remembered to take a photo). Got blue cheese instead of ranch with the pickles, 10/10 ACTUAL blue cheese with chunks and everything, not some cheap stuff. Good beer choices, pastrami wasn’t insane but it was good. Wish it had more of the slaw but no biggie, leftovers were great. The extra crispy diner fries were great. I will probably explore the menu more next time. Great for bar food, pretty average for restaurant standard. The bathrooms were out of order, so there was a porta potty outside behind the stage… not ideal at all. Sinks still worked. That is why I rate the atmosphere lower. Open to adjust my review upon next visit. Total bill for 2 sandwiches, 2 pickle platters, and drinks for 2...
