People either love this place or they do not, and the ratings show it. Service tends to be raised approvingly here, averaging 4.1 stars.
Older reviews score better than newer ones (4.3 recent against 5.0 earlier), so direction is worth weighing alongside the average. If you had to pick one number to represent this corpus it would be 5, the most frequently given rating (19 reviews).

I came here for my family reunion and I really enjoyed our stay. The pool is nice and big. The beach is only a few hundred feet away. Our room had a fenced-in backyard that opened up to the beach, which was lovely. I also like how the rooms are layed out. You walk into the living room area and the couch does pull out into a bed. There's a little kitchen table and chairs to sit and eat. Then when you walk past that you walk through the hallway that has a bathroom on one side and closet space on the other. When you walk past that you enter the bedroom area. Of course there's a little back patio, as well.

Great spot with a relaxed beach vibe. The food was fresh and tasty, and the service was friendly and efficient. Good portions and a nice place to enjoy a casual meal by the water. Would definitely come back.

Love it

Terrible service. We called ahead of time for a birthday dinner with 9 people, and they told us we did not have to make reservations because they were not busy. We came in with our group, and they turned us down. They said they were “understaffed”, and would not even accept us—even though I told them we called ahead of time and it was for a birthday dinner. They remembered speaking with us and would not make any exceptions. They were rude, and I’ve never had this happen ever. Do not recommend 0 out of 5 stars.

We have been enjoying coming here, especially since Brian started making craft cocktails. He is exceptionally talented at what he does! Nobody has been been able to beat the Ocean Grill's famous Painkiller—until now! Brian's version is absolutely outstanding. Also a great Margaritas! Cheers to an amazing bartender!

After my aunt's wedding we went here for her reception, it was maybe about 30 of us unfortunately half of us had to leave because they wanted us all to pay as one group. I feel like the situation could have been handled in a better way instead of letting money walk out of the door.

No one smiles and the food is below sub par… thank god it’s on it water cause the one people smiling are those enjoying the price gouging - bartenders spend more time chit chatting
-
Will never go back long wait bad food got sick ste server was good again the food was bad got sick after eating says it all casey
-
I not people there for a turtle walk. It was amazing. We got to see a turtle out of the beach. I went to the bar to buy a water they only had one bottled water and this wasn't too late In the evening. No one offered to go get me another one from the back.

Great food, great atmosphere, lots of TVs and live music. Who could ask for more? Shauna, our waitress, was funny and remembered our orders and drinks from the night before. Rena, the hostess, made us feel like family……. In a good way. Mike Hill was singing and shredding the guitar that night and it was the perfect finish to the evening. Don’t miss Mike!

Rena was awesome as was the food.
-
Not only did Shauna recall our order from a previous visit, she remained pleasant and efficient. Rena on the other hand attempted a hat flip... amazingly it worked for her and quite entertaining. We had the seafood trio. Perfect dish for sharing with friends, add (the enormous) chicken wings for a table satisfying meal that's filling but won't put you in a food comma.

The service is always friendly. Food is good and prices are great.

We always make it a point to visit Mulligan’s whenever we’re in Vero Beach, and it never disappoints! The ocean views, relaxed beach atmosphere, and delicious food make this one of our favorite spots. A special thank you to Shauna and Reno for their exceptional service. They were friendly, attentive, and made us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. Their positive attitude and professionalism truly made our visit even more enjoyable. Thank you for another wonderful experience. We can’t wait to come back on our next trip to Vero Beach! Highly recommended!
