Jordan Street Cafe is a hidden gem offering a great variety of American fare in a low-key, casual dining spot. Upon entering, you’ll stand in line to order at the counter, then grab a seat on either side of the restaurant. The staff will run your food to you and take care of clearing your table.
Their burger and fries are a crowd favorite—always delicious, and I consistently get mine a perfectly cooked medium-rare. The Shrimp and Grits is another standout dish, with just the right amount of heat and a generous portion that’s great for sharing. I also recommend the maple pecan salad, which is fresh with mixed greens, and a flavorful dressing, and comes with the option to add chicken or fish.
They offer desserts, and a full bar with signature cocktails, making it a well-rounded foodie experience. The focus is definitely on food quality rather than ambiance and decor, and that’s part of what makes this place popular with locals. I’ve brought small groups here, and each time, everyone has found something they enjoy and left with great things to say.
Free public parking is available on W. Jordan Street, through the intersection on the left, just past the bank.

My husband and I went with friends and we were so happy we chose this restaurant. They must have an amazing chef because the food was wonderful. Although they have kind of self-serve when out of season the service was up and above! The atmosphere was wonderful with the plants and the quaintness of both the bar area and dining room. We had a really nice time because this all made it possible!

Great menu at Jordan Street Cafe! Bacon wrapped Trout on bed grits was delicious and highly recommended. Beer selection was good but wish it was more local craft beer than national brands

I love this restaurant and bar. We are patrons and every time we come in it’s a great experience. We love to talk to Brandon. The place is super cool and has two huge fig trees inside making it so special. The food is amazing I ordered the Hawaiian salmon wrap and my husband ordered the Jordan burger which were both delicious.

The food was amazing and what a gem this cafe is. You order at the front and the food is brought to you. We had the fried dill pickles for an appetizer and they were delicious. Then we ordered the blackened Mahi Mahi sandwich, which was amazing. Also the giant salad with walnuts and goat cheese was very tasty. Try the sweet potato fries. The staff was super friendly and very accommodating. This is a must visit if you like great food.

We needed a place for dinner in Brevard the other weekend and got a recommendation for Jordan Street Cafe. The food was solid, but the prices were a little high for what was mainly counter service. I understand that everyone is short staffed these days and are having to make changes to their service models… And I don’t think the prices will keep me from coming back, I will just have to plan accordingly. Everything was tasty, and the desserts were excellent! Overall a really nice experience.

Service was exceptional and the food was great. Pictured is the French dip. You’ve got to labor to actually eat it but it was awesome. The Caeser wrap is great but my girlfriend thought it was a little spicey? Lol. Not pictured I tried the mozzarella sticks & the fish and chips, all were great. Will be back for sure.

I was highly impressed by the quality of the food here. Everything was so tasty, I would say the only thing that we needed salt and pepper for was the pesto dip for the homemade bread. Our service was great and we will definitely be returning for more incredible meals!

Incredible chicken Parmesan! Maybe the best I ever had at a restaurant. The seafood pasta special was good, but a little too much of fried seafood for a pasta dish. Beautiful views at sunset outside on the patio.

After reading reviews I decided to check out Jordan Street Cafe to see if their Jordan burger was indeed one of the best.
I’m happy to report it was delicious. It came with crispy bacon, lettuce, tomato, onion, cheddar cheese, and dijonnaise (Dijon mayo).
Their fries (which look like “swirls”) are a delightful mix of crispy and soft & fluffy. Ask for their parmesan peppercorn dressing which is their version of ranch. Nice little twist to dip them in and a nice switch up from ketchup.
The bartender said their sweet potato fries are the best so I’ll try them next time.
The best way to enjoy your dining experience is to first read the home page of their website. They don’t have traditional table service, so you’ll place your order at one of the bars, they’ll give you an order # which you’ll take to the table of your choice along with your drink.
I chose to sit outside on the patio as it was a beautiful, cool evening. Someone will bring your food and some rolled silverware when it’s ready. Meanwhile if you need more condiments, napkins, to go boxes etc it’s all off to the side neatly stacked at the bar.
If you want drink refills just go to the bar as well.
So next time you’re in Brevard, check out this little side street haunt. You’ll be glad you did.
