Score
Going back to 2022, New England Eatery & Pub has 11 inspections in the public record. The newest entry in the record is dated Mar 4, 2026. Low risk indicates the latest report didn't flag anything that would worry the average customer.
Recent visits have produced comparable findings, with counts hovering near five violations per visit.
The pattern that stands out is “nonfood-contact surface soiled with grease”, which has been cited five times.
That puts the facility ahead of the local pack: the average Melbourne Beach restaurant scores 73. There isn't much in the file that would give a customer pause.
