Wonderful experience- amazing food and service. You definitely get what you pay for here, which is very high quality and fresh food. The fish was extremely fish, caught locally, and you could taste the flakiness and freshness throughout. I highly recommend to start with the grouper bites- so delicious! My husband and I went with the chef specials for that day and they did not disappoint. The cocktails were tasty and strong, as well! Our server, Chris, was extremely attentive and kind. Can't wait to go back here!

Visited the Florida Fresh Grill alone while on a business trip. The waiter (Dom) was very helpful and answered all of my questions. I had the Caesar Salad and Crab cakes with Mashed potatoes. It was very relaxing to sit on the covered patio for the meal. Food and service were excellent.
Got into town a bit late and wanted something fresh and tasty. Looked up the reviews and decided to give Florida's Fresh Grill a try. Saw numerous reviews raving about the Chilean seabass so I decided to give it ago---it has been over 15 years since I had to-die for Chilean seabass. Omg, a-mazingingly fresh and perfectly cooked. I'd give the chef a kiss if I could. It paired spectacularly with the creamy garlic, mashed potatoes and sweet and spicy, caramelize butternut squash top with bacon bits. I wolfed the meal in less than 10 minutes. It was phenomenal!!! And, I decided to get the carrot cake to go; it was highly recommended by Tricia, who waited on me and did an impeccable job by the way. She was friendly, professional, extremely knowledgeable of the menu, and did not miss a beat. The food was brought out in about 12 minutes. Definitely going back to try other seafood items the next time I am in town again.
In Florida for 4 days from Orlando we drove to Cocoa Beach and had our sight set on Florida’s fresh Grill. From the time we entered to the time we left it was the perfect place for dinner! We ordered the Grouper Bites and the Crab Tower to start, our waitress Rachel was spot on with her recommendations as to the fresh fish we desired to eat. I got the Chilean Bass with mashed potatoes and the caramelized squash, my husband ordered the Corvina! We enjoyed every delicious bite, it was complete happiness in our mouths and satisfied beyond expectation. We ordered our dessert to go, the carrot cake was perfect and the key lime pie did not disappoint the sugar craving! Excellent place to go to enjoy fresh fish!
I cannot rave enough about this grill!
Its perfect every single time.
This trip we had my 3 year old toddler in tote. The chef did what he could to make her a dish. Butter noodles and parm fries were a hit with her.
My whole table got the sea bass with the daily sides. Maple bacon squash and orzo. Both were so good. My seabass was light and tasted amazing with or without being drenched in the yummy lemon butter.
Finished the night with white chocolate macadamia nut creme brulee. This was one of the best I've had. DELISH.
WILL BE BACK!
WOW - Best food and Service all week 5 stars plus - food was magnificent - service was extraordinary - Chris our waiter was over the top great…. Fresh Seafood cooked to perfection and steaks were melt in your mouth…. We will definitely be back….
We look forward to dining out when we are in Cocoa Beach. We have been to Florida fresh several times and the food is usually very good. I had Shelley‘s chicken. It was very good, my husband had crabcakes and they were good and another friend also had the chicken. For the price that you pay, I would like to see bread on the menu complementary. I was very disappointed to have to pay four dollars for a small loaf of bread brought to the table. Other restaurants that are comparable in price and quality do not charge for bread.My entrée with a salad upgrade was approximately $35. You should never charge anyone an additional four dollars for bread when their entrée is $35. My entrée with a salad upgrade was approximately $35… We wish you would reconsider at your next evaluation of the menu, to get rid of the charge for bread.
I have a gluten allergy and most of the food on the menu was gluten free, the crab tower was a very good and the grouper with the mashed potatoes and the green beans were the best. My waiter was very patient and gave us thorough descriptions about the food.

A Hidden Gem in Cocoa Beach – Can’t Wait to Go Back for the Full Experience!
We recently visited Lazy Turtle in Cocoa Beach, and while our timing wasn’t perfect, our experience was absolutely wonderful! Unfortunately, we had just had a late breakfast before arriving, so we weren’t particularly hungry when we got there. At the time, we didn’t realize that Lazy Turtle offers some truly amazing food—something we only came to appreciate once we saw the dishes being served to other tables!
From the moment we stepped in, we were greeted with warm smiles and outstanding customer service. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and attentive without being overbearing. It’s always a great feeling when a place makes you feel right at home, and Lazy Turtle certainly does that.
The ambiance was fantastic—clean, well-maintained, and situated in an absolutely stunning location. Since the weather was nice, we opted to sit out on the patio, which was a perfect choice. The view, the fresh breeze, and the relaxed atmosphere made it the ideal spot to unwind.
Even though we weren’t planning on eating, we couldn’t resist ordering some drinks to enjoy the scenery. The drinks were well-made, refreshing, and just what we needed to complement the laid-back beach vibe. But then, as we looked around and saw the food being brought to other tables, we couldn’t help but feel like we were missing out.
We finally decided that we had to try something, so we went with the oysters—and WOW, what a great decision! They were fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. The quality was outstanding, and it made us regret having eaten beforehand. If the oysters were this good, we can only imagine how incredible the rest of the menu must be!
Watching the waitstaff bring out dishes to other tables only made us wish we had arrived with an empty stomach. The food looked absolutely mouthwatering, and you could tell that every plate was carefully prepared with fresh ingredients. The seafood dishes, in particular, caught our attention, and we knew right away that we’d have to come back to fully explore their menu.
All in all, we had a fantastic time at Lazy Turtle. Even though we didn’t get to try as much as we wanted, we still left with a great impression—thanks to the excellent service, the inviting atmosphere, and the small taste of their food that left us wanting more.
Next time, we’ll make sure to come hungry so we can dive into their menu properly! If you're in Cocoa Beach and looking for a great place to eat, drink, and relax, Lazy Turtle should definitely be on your list. We can’t wait to return and give it the full experience it deserves!
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Highly recommended!

My family and I visited The Tiny Turtle while on vacation - I’m a huge lover of shrimp tacos and had read good things about this place. It definitely lived up to the hype! I ordered the Surf Taco basket with two shrimp tacos, chips and salsa. The tacos were excellent!! The same can be said about the Sufrito Nachos. Our kids got grilled cheese and a hamburger and they were also satisfied!
The atmosphere the food and the customer service is on point! I would recommend this place to anybody looking for a good breakfast! We are from Colorado and here on vacation. Ask for Tia she’s very knowledgeable of the menu and great customer service! 🔥🔥🔥
I had the PB&J barbecue sliders. The sliders were very good, but could hardly taste the peanut butter. They just tasted like normal barbecue sliders. I was hoping for something a little different but overall it was good! The slaw was okay could’ve used some salt and pepper. We went around 4 o’clock on a Saturday, place was pretty empty which is nice since we had three kids! Waiter was super nice and was able to help us out and find a meal for the kids. They had several games and activities to keep the kids busy. I would say this place is super kid friendly!
We stumbled upon The Tiny Turtle when looking for a place to grab a late lunch after going to the Brevard Zoo and are so happy we did. It's 5 stars all around! Our server Grace and the other staff were great. The front patio is a great place to chillax with some apps and cool refreshing beverages. There's a nice buffer of trees so you don't feel like you're sitting right on the sidewalk.
The Sofrito bowl with Mahi Mahi was amazing. The black bean rice with the guacamole and beach slaw worked so well together. Topping it with perfectly cooked Mahi completely put it over the top. I loved the way all the flavors complimented each other. The chicken and cheese empanadas were freshly cooked and tasted great.
We can't wait to go back!
My daughter ordered the four cheese quesadilla with chicken, while I ordered the sofrito burrito with their jerk chicken and added all the sauces for an additional $4.99. WELL WORTH IT. Everything about the burrito tasted great.
My daughter's quesadilla was also beyond good. A large dish that flavor was dripping from! The chips and salsa, made in-house, are some of the best I've had, easily.
Our waitress was more than great.
She gave good suggestions and after we told her both dishes were a 10 out of 10, she said it makes her job easy because the food really is good so she doesn't have to pretend to like it.
Such a great atmosphere!
All their sauces, other than sour cream, are made in-house. Their chicken and pork are seasoned in-house, amongst others.
Absolutely worth the price and time. I want to try their brunch menu!
A Hidden Gem with Caribbean Flavor!
We’ve been to Cocoa Beach many times and somehow never heard of Tiny Turtle—but now we’ll never forget it. A few locals recommended it to us on separate occasions, so we finally checked it out—and we’re so glad we did!
The food was excellent—we had the Tripleta sandwich and the cheesesteak, both absolutely mouthwatering. The bread was soft and fresh, and the flavors were spot on. The menu has a Latin-Caribbean flair, thanks to the Puerto Rican chef, and it really shows in the seasoning and creativity.
Service was great—Murphy took care of us and made the experience even better. The beers were ice cold, and we were excited to see Medalla, a local Puerto Rican beer, on the menu.
It was quiet when we arrived—so quiet we almost left—but we came between lunch and dinner, so we get it. Still, this place deserves to be packed. We’ve learned they’ve been around for about 12 years, and now we’ll be recommending them just like the locals did with us.
Don’t miss this spot. It’s a true gem with delicious food and warm, friendly vibes.
Went for lunch on a Monday afternoon. Service was quick and provided with many smiling faces :) The food was alright. We had the steak quesadilla and the pork quesadilla. Not bad, but would maybe try some other menu items next time. Would come back for the location and relaxed vibe.

The Fat Snook is a popular dining destination in Cocoa Beach, FL, known for its intimate and casual-elegant atmosphere. Since 2007, this beachside restaurant has been serving upscale dishes featuring locally sourced seafood and creative coastal-inspired cuisine. The menu highlights fresh fish, gourmet seafood plates, and signature scallops prepared with a farm-to-table approach. Emphasizing seasonal ingredients and sustainable seafood, The Fat Snook offers a unique culinary experience for food enthusiasts.
My (newly married) husband and I made a reservation to The Fat Snook and included in the notes that we were in town for our honeymoon. And the staff and chef went above and beyond in celebrating that. From the moment we walked in, the vibe was warm and friendly. Our table had a card on it congratulating us and had all the staff members signatures. The chef gave us a complimentary amuse-bouche when we first sat down, and also gave us complimentary sorbet before we enjoyed our dessert. The staff was very attentive and it was easy to tell they truly cared about the environment they created for their patrons. My husband and I both enjoyed the a crab appetizer, along with the street corn deviled eggs appetizer, and both were incredibly delicious. We each ordered the Chef Special for that day (they had 2 different ones) and both were amazing. And their famous key lime pie with the tall merengue was a perfect ending to a wonderful meal! We are Houston locals, but any time we are in the area, we will be visiting again. Thank you again to the staff and chef who went the extra mile! <3

Cute spot. The menu was a unique fusion of different cultural foods that captured my eye. Smartly plated food, great service, cute atmosphere, and good alcoholic beverages. Our waitress was super kind and brought a coloring book and crayons for my kid to draw on!
Don't come here to get full; come here for a few bites and to socialize because you will eat everything on the menu and rack up a hefty tab. Just try a mixture of different items to share (the food is tapas portioned) and enjoy the time.
I had an amazing meal last night, one of the best meals and service I’ve had in 2025. I sat at the bar, the bartender was attentive and knew the menu brilliantly. The food was divine. I had the beet salad, the crab feature, and the famous cornbread. I took key lime pie to go. The bartender made a mocktail that paired perfectly with the flavors of my meal. Highly recommend!
I had book a reservation directly on the Fat Snook website for our wedding anniversary and it was also our first time to try this restaurant. Initially, limited parking spots, but no issues getting one.
Received a text message the table was ready when we parked. Greeted by the host and brought to our table promptly.
Before starting our dinner - the wine list was extensive and we love our rioja! Meghan was our waitress and took care of us very well. The staff was so friendly including the host who would also come and help out.
We looked over the menu, it’s a fresh menu every 2-3 weeks. Because I just saw a post on 321 Brevard’s eats of different menu a month ago.
We had a mojo pork starter, blue crab special, mussels from Brussels (definitely recommend) then to our entree was the poblano shrimp and grits while hubby ordered the duck. Both dishes were savory in their own way. But we cleared out plate! Followed by strawberry sorbet, the rum cake with coconut brittle (with special celebration) and key lime pie. Ended the night with orangecello which is made in house. We thoroughly enjoyed celebrating our anniversary and will be back! Thank you for having us. ❤️
What a lovely experience! We walked in and was greeted right away and escorted to our table our server Kevin took the time to introduce himself and go over the specials (very impressively remembering every detail) as it was my mother's birthday, not only did they have a birthday card at our table that they all signed, they remember right away to wish her a happy birthday which really meant a lot. Kevin helped me pair my dinner with the right wine that fit my likes and dislikes and even brought us a free mini starter, which was delicious! We went right to the main course, which in my case was the Fresh Catch for the day which varies. My mother got some delicious cornbread and brussel sprouts which we heavenly! All the flavors in everything we got were exquisite and well put together and very elegant. Even the bill was easy to pay your just scan a QR code so we didnt have to wait for the check to come and go which was very convenient. Overall, a very delicious and elegant dinner definitely reccomend for any special occasion or if you're just in the mood for an elegant and elevated dining experience.
The Fat Snook has been a top restaurant for all of our special occasions. The food is out of this world and combines flavors you’d never think of. It’s a truly unique and delicious experience every time! The staff is always anticipating every need and they go above and beyond to help you celebrate!
Before walking in, we knew we were going to have a nice dinner. Once we sat, we knew we were in for an exquisite dining experience. First, a plethora of wine options- we chose the Love Red and were not disappointed. An amuse bouche came our way and I’ll tell you- my mouth was happy. We followed with the oysters and scallops- obviously if you come here, I’d assume you like seafood- but if you don’t… I promise you will after these dishes. Those oysters were to die for, I’m not even exaggerating in the slightest. Our entrees were the fresh catch 2- halibut that day, and duck. The halibut was paired beautifully with coconut and bok choy, and the duck with a yummy parsnip purée. Even with as much food as we had, I finished my meal. For dessert, we had the rum cake and key lime pie. As a sweet oriented person, I’m almost afraid to say that I wish I had left off at the entrees. The desserts were delicious, but in retrospect- the meal was made in its own. If you aren’t already convinced, the staff was incredibly intelligible of their menu options and the overall atmosphere was pleasant and chic. This will be a nice conversation piece for the following weeks.
We had a fantastic meal at The Fat Snook tonight after doing careful research of the best seafood restaurant to eat in Cocoa Beach and hit the jackpot. The food was excellent, the vibe was local, and the service was friendly. We ordered several dishes from starters, the salads, to main courses, to dessert and enjoyed our entire meal. I will keep this review short and just say, this is a solid seafood restaurant with a local vibe and high quality ingredients and very flavorful dishes. Not too many options so you won't be overwhelmed with choices so that's a plus. I'd say to go with the recommendations from the waiter if you're unsure and pair it with a draft beer and/or glass of pinot noir. 5 stars easily and two very enthusiastic thumbs up! Thank you for a fantastic final meal in Florida before we head back to Georgia!

Parents can enjoy happy hour while their kids have options from the small kids' menu.

We visited on a Saturday night as a group of 8. We hadn't booked and only had a 20 min wait to get a table. Our waiter Chaisson was fantastic and friendly/welcoming - and real credit to your place.
There was live music throughout the night and a great friendly atmosphere along with nice views of the beach from our table.
The food was all cooked to a high standard and good sized portions that were fresh and tasty.
We'd all recommend Coconuts On The Beach and gladly return for another visit.

My wife and I stopped here for lunch on August 16, 2025 in conjunction with a camping trip to nearby Jetty Park on Port Canaveral about 7 miles up the road. We found free, two-hour parallel parking along US Hwy A1A and arrived at the restaurant just as it opened at 11:00 AM. It was a beautiful sunny and breezy day, so we ate outside at the Tiki Bar overlooking the beach. The bartender was cute, flirty, and several guys were chatting her up, so she got a little inattentive to us a few times, but finally got to us. We shared a Turkey Avocado Club Wrap with Sweet Potato Fries, and it was delicious. This place gets very crowded on the weekends, so if you do plan to go there for lunch, make sure you get there an hour or so before they open so you can find a parking spot.
Shrimp was amazingly huge. Good fries too. Nice views of the ocean. The live music is a bit loud to have any conversation but great for spacing out and singing along. Service was ok, would have liked more refills on our drinks. Overall good experience.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Coconuts on the Beach is the perfect Florida spot! The views are absolutely amazing — right on the ocean with that cool, laid-back beach vibe. You can sit back, enjoy the sound of the waves, and take in the gorgeous scenery while sipping on some really great drinks.
The food was outstanding! I had the Mahi Reuben with sweet potato fries, and it was hands-down one of the best meals I’ve had on the beach. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The portions were generous too, which is always a plus.
The drinks were fantastic — super refreshing and made just right. Whether you’re in the mood for a frozen cocktail or an ice-cold beer, they’ve got you covered. The staff was friendly, upbeat, and made the whole experience even better.
The atmosphere is exactly what you hope for when you’re at a beachside restaurant — lively, fun, and welcoming. It’s the kind of place where you can hang out for hours, enjoy the music, food, and ocean views, and just unwind.
Definitely will be back next time we’re in the area. Highly recommend Coconuts on the Beach for anyone looking for great food, great drinks, and unbeatable views! 🌴🍹🐠☀️
Coconuts on the Beach was such a great choice for my friend and our families to connect for dinner! The vibe was great and the food delicious. Ashley was our server, and while she was sweet, we didn't see her a lot because they were so busy. The food was good and we had a great time! The view from the outside seating was also gorgeous. If we're out this way again, I'd definitely go back!
Great location, the food was pretty damn good for a touristy type restaurant. We had the tuna nachos, both shrimp appetizers and the conch fritters, Plus the gimmicky coconut souvenir drink. Its was all good for the price. We got our seat within a couple minutes of getting there at around 7:45 p.m. on a Saturday night in august. we got lucky with parking and found a spot fast, but parking looks like it could be difficult. Our waiter was friendly and knew the menu good, he explained the food the same way it came out. Go you won't be disappointed.
So let's start with the positives. Firstly, Beautiful location right next to the beach. The food was delicious. I had the pokebowl and the tuna was fresh and flavorful.
Now the negative. Honestly only one, The service was just not good. The Hostess seemed annoyed and mad while seating us and then we waited 10mins before someone came to get our drink order. I understand people have bad days but it was enough to bother us.
We will definitely be back for the food hopefully the service will be better.
Shout out to Jason!! Easily the best server I’ve ever had, he recommended amazing dishes and even took the time to write down a few places to see manatees as we’re from out of town. If we’re ever back we’ll definitely ask for him! Thanks again Jason!

Thank goodness my husband and I stumbled across this gem of a place. We were being pelted with rain and the owner, Leeann, and Rozzy, the waitress, greeted us with open arms. Not only were we allowed to freshen up in their restroom, we discovered they are known for upscale wines and cocktails. Needless to say, it was exactly what we needed! Totally wish we knew about this place before hand so we could have made dinner reservations to what is the most amazing and gourmet food around!! Can not recommend this place enough! We will definitely be back when we are in the area!!

We started with the scargot and the carpaccio and we really like both it was ok for the price , we ordered the mahi mahi was good wished it was grilled but it’s and ok dish , we also got a pasta was a bit flavorless , we then got the Hawaiian skillet it’s literally fajitas for 30$ the atmosphere is really good but today was full and we had to wait some time for the menu !
We were highly disappointed to see the last dish we order a steak with lobster was 79$ way over priced , nothing was really worth it for the price ! We definitely have been to other places with half price and more quality ! We wished it was good because it’s really pretty and the people are nice but it’s not worth it !
This is a wonderful little bistro style restaurant we discovered when we couldn’t get a seat to Coconut’s which is a few hundred feet away. This place was completely reserved but the waitress took us in regardless and promised we’d be in and out within an hour. That was actually 100% true and we greatly appreciated it. If you aren’t looking for this place you’d miss it because it’s rather inconspicuous compared to all the local bars.
Located on a beach access area, LUNA is a small, but amazing spot for truly gourmet food. Wine aficionados would love this place. Reservations are highly recommended due to limited seating inside and some small tables outside. I don’t recommend sitting outside.
Note this place is small and intimate. Your parties should not exceed 4 people. Single diners should eat at the bar. There are a ton of wine options and some neat cocktails. Beer is limited, nothing is on tap.
The food was absolutely amazing! Most in our party had the ravioli which was homemade. The special featured scallops in the ravioli, and they were fresh. I opted for the macadamia nut crusted Mahi Mahi which was incredible. There’s a lot of love and pride going into this hidden gem, and it deserves all the high praise.
It looks like some folks didn’t enjoy their food or the prices in other reviews, but these are the people who likely complain about the heat in Florida year round. Just go and give this place a try. Good food is worth the price.
The space is small but very charming, and the staff was welcoming at first, which made me look forward to the meal even more. Unfortunately, the food did not meet expectations.
The portions were surprisingly small for the price, and while I don’t mind paying for quality, my fish was poorly prepared—overcooked on the outside and hard in the middle. When I mentioned it to the server, I was told it would be taken off my bill. Instead, they only gave me a 50% discount. That’s when I noticed the grouper I had ordered was actually $60 for a tiny portion and just a few vegetables. For that price, the quality and service should have been much better. It ended up feeling very unfair and disappointing. 3 scallops for $28??Crazy … but was good but Pompano Grill or Coa isn’t that expensive for appetizers ( other “high end” places nearby). Just really upset with my seafood dish and wish they kept their word
We tried a variety of dishes: the carpaccio and escargot were both really good, (around 16$ not bad, appetizers were really good to be honest) and the mahi-mahi was also quite tasty (around $37). But the rest left us disappointed.
The Hawaiian skillet was basically just fajitas—nothing special—with fake wasabi and fake crispy onions. We also ordered the combo with lobster and steak—a market price item that ended up being $80. Honestly… for what? Especially considering the lobster was undercooked.
Our server was very kind, but it took 20 minutes just to get our menus. And a small side of bread? $6.
Some dishes impressed us, but overall it felt overpriced and the experience didn’t match the bill. Wouldn’t return.
Lisa and TJ were very welcoming! They accommodated us on a large party last minute after a wedding ceremony and even let us take in our own cake for dessert. The drinks TJ made us were really good and he even let us customize a bit. The food got some mixed reviews from our party. From what I was told the coconut shrimp was really good. The pad Thai I had was delicious. Unfortunately, one person was not a fan of Mac n cheese with shrimp, they felt the pasta was really dry. Also three people ordered their steaks medium well and all three came back rare. I just want to point out the service from Lisa and TJ was amazing and they were really helpful! I would gladly come back and recommend this place to others
10/10 experience!! Highly recommend if you are going to be in central Florida and plan on going to cocoa beach! James, Todd and Tj are a phenomenal team. Definitely will be back soon. Thanks James!
It was a great dining experience. The ambiance was pretty good. It’s a good place to be catching up with some friends and family. The food was new to our tastebuds. It was just a little expensive for the amount of servings. But the quality and uniqueness of the dishes was fantastic.

The food and service here was amazing. I hope we get to eat here again. They bring out these complimentary things that look like hush puppies covered in powdered sugar. They were delicious. The calamari here was the best I've ever had. Not super chewy like I've had before. My daughter got the lobster tacos and they were so good.

First of all our server Chris was amazing 10/10!! We let him choose an appetizer for us and he chose the Dynamite Shrimp (they were amazing).. My wife got the Dynamite shrimp tacos as well and she loved them!! I got the Honey garlic bacon wrapped shrimp and they were amazing!!! They even give you some fritters when you sit down and they are so good! Also at the end with your check you get a little cup of lemon sorbet! 10 out of 10 would recommend!!! I will be back here!
I absolutely love this place!
Our group stumbled upon this place as we are at Port Canaveral for our cruise!
The vibe was amazing. Service was excellent.
They give you these free beignets at the beginning. You get a lot of of them!
From my appetizer I chose a cup of clam chowder soup which was divine!
If I had to critique I would say just a little bacon on top and it would’ve been a 10/10!
For my entree, I ordered the dynamite shrimp tacos which are huge! You get three with the choice of side which I chose to the baked potato with sour cream and butter.
Tacos- 10/10!
I tried my friend’s alligator tail, Amazing!
I really enjoyed this place.
They do add a 18% gratuity charge to your bill for parties of 6 or over.
So just be careful not to double tip if you weren’t planning to!
I went to Florida's Seafood Bar & Grill for lunch not expecting the portions to all be"shareable"! The food tasted excellent and so was the service! Everything was superb! Upon being seated you are greeted with hot fresh fritters. Next, I ordered the calamari, shrimp & scallop appetizer which is served with marinara & remoulade sauce. As my main meal, I order the stuffed cod lunch special. Lunch specials are served with your choice of salad, entree & side. The stuffing was made with crab & shrimp and served with hot drawn butter. Free refills on non-alcoholic beverages. As you will see, lunch portions were more than enough! My bill came to $35/$36 inclusive of tax.
I highly recommend this restaurant!
My wife and I recently went to Florida's Seafood Restaurant with some family.
Everything was amazing. The food. The service. The atmosphere.
We got the complimentary fritters first. Really tasty. We ordered more.
The Rock Shrimp were great. I got mine Scampi style. The side of Fettuccine Alfredo was very good and a large serving. Great salad as well.
The Oyster shooters were good with the Bloody Mary mix.
We'll be back.
Came here today for my birthday from Augusta, GA. This place was awesome.. the seafood was absolutely fresh from the oysters to the gator tail. My mom and myself thoroughly ourselves with the food. Shout out to our server Julie.. she was absolutely the best. She set the standard on customer service. Thank you for being part of my memories Julie.
Great seafood! Party of 7: We came without reservations and even though the parking lot and restaurant was packed, we were seated within a few minutes. Melissa was a great server and she suggested the dynamite shrimp…we loved it! I didn’t take pictures of all the food, just what I got which I shared and we both were full and even had some leftover shrimp to take home (I got the $42 combo deal: a whole crab, snow crab clusters, and large plate of scampied shrimp, plus 2 sides). From the free fried blueberry fritters to appetizers and main courses, we were all very pleased and satisfied. Definitely check this place out!
No outdoor seating but the place and atmosphere is great! Fried gator tail is amazing! Oysters were fantastic! Every platter was fresh and seasoned perfectly! The corn fritters were amazing with a hint of blueberry in them! The daiquiris were the best ive ever had (and ive had alot)! Highly recommend for fresh Florida Seafood at a great price!

Seafood restaurant
Seafood market
Jazzy's Mainely Lobster is a no-frills shack and market in Osceola County, Florida, offering a wide range of Maine lobster dishes, chowder, and fried seafood baskets. The restaurant features an outdoor patio where patrons can bring their dogs to enjoy the fresh seafood along with handcrafted cocktails. Additionally, the establishment provides a pet-friendly environment for guests to dine with their four-legged companions.
This place is a gem! A slice of New England Coast brought to Cocoa Beach to share with locals & visitors 😎👍
Started with:
-Expresso Martini's
-Shrimp & Clam Corn Chowder
-One pound of Steamer Clams w/Buttah'
Entrées:
-New England (chilled) Lobsta' Roll on a tosted buttered bun with sweat potatoes
-New England (chilled) Lobsta Roll on a toasted buttered bun with Hush puppies
Dessert:
-Banana Cheesecake with whip Cream
The food presentation, preparation and service were all excellent. Each course was delicious. The chowder was loaded, creamy, and not overly rich with a hint of black pepper. Steamer's were excellent and tender, lobster rolls were plump with meat and the rolls were grilled to perfection. Hush puppies and sweat potatoes fries were done up perfect and came with a nice ranch & horse radish dip.
The Banana cream chease pie slice came was amazing with an excellent crust and had chunks of banana within. I would definitely recommend to all and those from New England whom haven't been home in a while (Owners are from Kittery, Maine).

Excellent place for Maine seafood, and if you are in a small group, dine at the bar with the top notch staff... Matthew, David, and Tina. Their service is excellent, plus they're super nice, and attentive!! The 1 lb lobster, delicious. The parmesan dijan mussels, delicious. The peel and eat shrimp, delicious. The key lime pie, exquisite. And we didn't try the espresso martini, but the ingredients sound great, it's on the list for next time!!
Everyone was extremely nice. We went when they just opened so it wasn’t busy at all. I got the peel and eat shrimp for an app and then the Connecticut lobster roll with clam chowder. It was phenomenal. I also got a special drink, the blood orange margarita. It was mixed so well, I had 2! My husband got the haddock sandwich with the onion rings and loved it as well. The price point was great for this area and quality of food. 10/10!
This place is a gem! We turned back around to check out the food here and I'm so glad that we did. I had a steamed whole lobster and my son and his girlfriend had lobster rolls. We also had some hush puppies and those were out of this world. We loved everything that we ordered. The waitress was awesome, great personality and on top of the customer service end of it all. We'll be back when were in that area!
10/8/2025 this place was recommended to us for dinner. They offered fresh seafood including Maine lobsters and lobster rolls. We both ordered the hot lobster roll.
I should of ordered the whole lobster instead of the roll.
It was good but there wasn't enough lobster meat on it for it to be $30/lobster roll. It needed double the meat for it to be at that price point. Visit Maine to see how stacked the rolls are supposed to be!
I got the seafood soup with mine as a side, tasted ok but did not look appetizing.
Tried the conch friters which were good and the fried green tomatoes which were also delicious. Ordered two beers with our meal. Total bill was $120 including tip.
Very good lobsters. Nice sides including fried green tomatoes, fries, onion rings and more. Their current $25 lobster special form Oct is a great deal. Very good drinks too.
First time here. Wanted some sea food. We started out with crab cakes. All I can say is delicious. We tried the fried shrimp and scampi with a side of fried green tomatoes and the blackened mahi rubin sandwich with a side of onion rings...Both amazing . The atmosphere was great, loved all the decorations. Our server, Glen was awesome. Food came out hot with large portions and was delicious.
The food was delicious,, the clam chowder and full belly clams were Amazing. The servers were friendly and prompt. I would definitely go back on my next trip to Cocoa Beach. Well worth the price.

Fun beach front restaurant. A full food and bar menu with added entertainment from live music to djs. We did not eat, but the menu had plenty of choices and food going to other tables looked very tasty. The restaurant is best known for their seafood. The drink options were fun and there are daily specials
This place was near our condo and came recommended by our friends. It did not disappoint. Delicious food and drinks! We came on Taco Tuesday and left full and happy! Will definitely come back when we are in the area.
This was our first night in Cocoa Beach. We found this little jewel about a half mile from our resort. It has a great atmosphere. There was indoor and outdoor seating. Live music. The staff was all very friendly. It was our waitress's birthday! The food was great. It was loud so don't think your going to have any cozy conversations! 😂 It's a great beach restaurant.
We started with the Pretzel sticks they where very good super hot when they came out and the queso wasn’t some can or jar queso it was good. The shrimp tacos were very good and big. Our fries were a little bit underdone. So they weren’t the best. The server was really nice and she never let a drink get empty… I would give this place a 8.7 out of 10… I would return
Service was good. They couldn't substitute onion rings for fries with an entree, but could with sandwiches. Shrimp and fries were okay. Husband ordered fish and chips and it was okay. Ordered the pretzel logs as an appetizer and they were probably the item that was the best. However, they came out and within 2 minutes, our food came out as well. Atmosphere was good, but the outside seating TV was playing sound without picture. However, he was trying to get it fixed due to it being football season.
Great little bar to come and visit. Just ordered some smoked fish bread and drinks. Everything was great and a busy little atmosphere with great staff.
First time having a pizza burger !! That was nice experience . Wings where a perfect glaze and we had the Joey style wings . Worth ever bite 🫦 😋 and the ice cream !!!! For sure big , up to 3 people or 2 sweet tooth lovers . Would only say the chairs we pick was high top and maybe we should have sit only a normal table.

What a great experience! Ever since moving back to the U.S., I’ve been craving a savory ham and cheese crepe—and almost every place only serves sweet ones. Simply Delicious Cafe and Bakery gladly made a custom savory crepe for me, and it instantly took me back to my youth. Salty, warm, and nostalgic—exactly what I was looking for.
This is a family-owned spot, and their son was our server. He was friendly, attentive, and even surprised us with fresh pumpernickel bread and a side of elephant ear pastry made by his father. Both were absolutely delightful.
We also ordered a chicken melt with salad, which was perfectly balanced and full of flavor. Although we didn’t get to try their omelet this time, it’s definitely on our list for the next visit.
Only downside: the heath bar cookie was a bit overcooked and had a burnt aftertaste—but everything else made up for it.
Definitely a cozy spot worth visiting again. Great food, great people!
This place was truly amazing. Simply Delicious Cafe was everything I was looking for while searching for a local breakfast location, while out of town. It came highly recommended and it did not disappoint. The portion sizes were huge and the quality was amazing. It felt like a home cooked meal made specifically for me. I now highly recommend this spot for anyone visiting the area, as I am sure the locals already know how great this place is. Not only was the food five stars but the service was too. I can’t speak highly enough about Simply Delicious Cafe… just go!!
Best breakfast potatoes around! I always enjoy a basic breakfast. 2 eggs over medium, sausage patties, potatoes, and sourdough toast. It always hits the spot. This place does it fantastically. And they bake all their own goods! Another customer turned around and said to get the potatoes, I returned the favor 30 minutes later by suggesting them to another table. Keep passing it on. Cheers!
We went for lunch at 12:30. Three of us. The place is small and a cozy atmosphere. My friend had Philly sandwich on homemade bread and the other breakfast with eggs and bacon . I had eggs with cheese. We ordered cakes and cookies to go. All goodies are homemade. We weren't rushed and had time to chat. An enjoyable afternoon lunch with good food.
Food was wonderful, had very thick French toast and the creamiest biscuit and gravy I have ever had. Elise did an amazing job. She was very polite and had a genuine smile.
PERFECT little spot for some great food! The portions were above and beyond hearty with leftovers! Great coffee and atmosphere! Our server was also very attentive!
If you're looking for a breakfast spot in Cocoa Beach that's both delicious and friendly, look no further than Simply Delicious. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with attentive service.
The food was absolutely incredible. We were so impressed with our first meal that we returned the very next morning to try something new. Every dish was flavorful, fresh, and beautifully presented. Whether you're craving classic breakfast fare or something a bit more unique, you're sure to find something to satisfy your appetite.
I highly recommend Simply Delicious to anyone visiting Cocoa Beach. It's the perfect place to start your day.

First time visitor from out of town. We had a family party of 6. Windy day so we decided to sit outside. A bit warm, however we were comfortable.
Fast and friendly service; not overbearing. Only con is we didn’t get our cups refilled with water, tea or the Coke Zero we had. We did ask for to-go cups and were accommodated.
Food arrived piping hot and fresh!
Excellent seasoning. No complaints.
All food arrived as described and as ordered.
Only outside con: there were posted signs everywhere about no dogs, except service animals and there were dogs on patio, not service animals. Well behaved.
Highly recommend! Prices were reasonable and for a vacation spot, inexpensive. Thanks for making eating out with family affordable while on vacation!
We return yearly and will be back.
The staff is very attentive! The girls work very hard! We actually ate here twice, as we had visitors from out of state join us and they All loved the food. I have the wings with 2 pick your own flavors.. soo good, I think the garlic wings maybe my new favorite! However, i have my usual bowls but this time I had the Hawaiian burger.. oh my lord! This burger is definitely my new favorite, juicy and slightly sweet. Making my mouth water as I describe it. The chicken fingers are delicious as are the amazing loaded chips! They make their own chip, nice change from French fries. They even sub in sweet potato fries. Yum! We also ordered pretzel bites, and onion rings, with original chicken wings as appetizers. Needless to say we barely could move after..
Absolutely wonderful atmosphere. I loved the outside porch where you can eat under the shade and fan. Whatever you do, YOU MUST get < Chowder > for appetizer!! It is excellent and scrumptious.
I took off a star from ‘service’ rating because our waitress never came to check our empty drinks. Other than that everyone including her was nice though.
My FIL loved his meal - Mahi Mango Salsa Bowl. He said it was the best meal he’s got here ever.
I will Def come back here when in the area. The chili dog and plantains were my fave. The local beer was great as well. Our waitress Erica was knowledgeable and friendly. I liked the variety of options in the menu.
You need to run to this place!! It's awesome!
Went on my 42nd birthday, just me and hubby. Our server was Autumn, like the season! She's seriously hands down one of the best we have had! Super friendly, from the area and gave us great info about the places. She knew the menu and what's the best in house.
We got the smoked fish dip, and of course the dogs!
Since it's my birthday, i got a slice of Key Lime Pie (I picked that out of the deserts) and it was delicious!
Prices are on point 👌, the environment is great! All the signs and pictures, of course tvs with the sports. I recommend sitting in outdoors, and check out the floors! The details!!
Get in there, check them out and as always tip your server 😎
Awesome experience at Long Doggers! Happy hour specials are great. Had a birthday in our party and they gave us a free Keylime pie food was excellent. The atmosphere was even more excellent. They have games in the back to keep kids entertained - highly recommend.
Although I was unfamiliar with it, until this trip, Long Doggers was an amazing lunch stop for our short Beach day near Cocoa Beach. The atmosphere was great, and the service staff was incredibly helpful and friendly. The food was absolutely amazing! We had a party of nine, and no one was disappointed. If you're headed to Cape Canaveral or Cocoa beach, do yourself a favor and grab lunch at Long Doggers. You can thank me later.

They had wonderful drinks here, however when we sat down for breakfast we only had two options from the menu, pancakes or French toast. Even though the menu they displayed was a bit larger. We started our meal with coffee that was really really terrible. We ended up going somewhere else for breakfast. They do have really delicious drinks from the bar that we got later on and an amazing view that really can't be beat!
The only reason I am taking time out of my day to give this restaurant a review is for the burger. It took 10 min to be seated when there was ample seating. The hostes took her sweet time to grab menus, and silverware. She walked as slow as she could to seat each customer. To top the 20 min of our first visit to this establishment, after we were seated we sat at our table for 19 min not 1 person came to our table. Not even for our drink order. We called so that we could put in a togo order but couldnt get anyone to answer. We ended up having to ask the bartender if he could take our order. Which made our visit a 4 🌟 visit. He helped us with a smile very polite.
But that burger tho. 👍🔥🔥🤤
I will come here again the food is worth it!!!
Bartender is rude. Atmosphere is fabulous. Female bartender is bitching at other staff and incredibly rude, snarky when asked anything. Ordered a bucket drink had 8 oz of liquid in it. Ordered another one with no extra ice added got half a drink. Ahi Tuna is delicious. Crab cakes need to come with some kind of sauce other than the very small amount of horseradish sauce on the plate. Sad because this is a great spot!
superb! fun time. Great fun. Food and drinks supurb! Josh the bartender was great!
We stayed the night at the International Palms Resort before our cruise the next day. The hotel was terrible (see my review). The bar/restaurant - Mambos Beachside Bar & Grill - next door was ok, but overpriced, and it charges a forced 18% gratuity for 6+ people at a table despite the fact that there were 3 separate checks of 2, 2, and 4. Fortunately, the service was decent so I didn't actively complain about the forced gratuity. The quality of the food was ok, but didn't match the price ($92 for my husband and I) and one of our friends had to ask for a mixed drink to be remade because it was terrible. Oh, and the hotel puts a $100 hold on your card besides the room charge to cover any charges you might incur while there. We ultimately just used it to cover our dinner and had to wait for the difference to be credited back to our card.
Unable to see cocoa beach from the bottom deck but there is a top deck to view it from. The food and drinks were amazing!! I had the pork tacos and some great cocktails.

A girls retreat for the weekend and we found this restaurant and was an incredible dining experience.The service was wonderful. Our waiter was so attentive and accommodating.
The ambiance was perfect and the food was excellent and beautiful presentation. We will come back!
Me and my wife shared an amazing experience at Pompano Grill! From the moment we got to the restaurant we already knew it was going to be something special.
Food was exceptional!
For appetizers we had their bread and butter and for this particular night, they had prime rib sliders which both appetizers were phenomenal.
Then we went into the salad portion of the dining experience which let me not forget that our waiter through out of all of this was informative about everything on the menu and just a great guy to talk to.
For our main meal I had the triple tail and my wife had the spaghetti and meatballs . My wife loves Italian food and loves pasta and this did not disappoint. She absolutely loved the meat balls and pasta here. I’m a sucker for fish and boy it did not disappoint.
All in all this is our new favorite restaurant and we will be coming back for more!
Had such a fun and meaningful dinner with my girls! The vibe was just right, the food was absolutely exquisite, and the service made the night. Huge shoutout to Austin, his warmth, attention, and positive energy made us feel truly special. He turned a great night into an unforgettable one. 😍🥰

These things, along with a magnificent wine list will convince you along with the many other fans of Pompano Grill that this is a very special place for dinner.

This was my first staying here, before our cruise. It was Superbowl Sunday, surprisingly not that crowded. The ambiance was great, service was good, but the foodie in me wasn't impressed. We ordered drinks at the bar which was mostly iced down. The coconut shrimp was decent, a little too greasy. For late lunch we had sliders, mahi sandwiches with chips (that seems homemade and burned). The thick wedge type fries were yummy! For dinner I ordered the poke bowl and the rice was so hard, like it was old & stale. Tip: if you serve left over rice, warm it up with a wet paper towel in microwave and it will come out fluffy and fresh. Don't nuke it dry.
Ordered 2 kids pizzas and a ahi bowl w/o avacado.
Tuna bowl arrived with bread and butter pickles? Menu states it has cucumbers. Staff informed me pickles are made with cucumbers. This item was terrible.
The two kids pizzas. Both were doughy and undercooked.
I would not recommend this place at all. There are plenty of other options within walking distance without major quality issues.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 – Perfect Beach Vibes, Great Food & Service
This place is an absolute gem right on the beach! The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, with gorgeous views, great music, and the kind of beachy vibe that makes you want to stay all day. The drinks were top-notch—well made, refreshing, and served quickly. The food was just as impressive—fresh, flavorful, and satisfying without being overly heavy. You can tell they put thought into the menu.
What really made the experience stand out, though, was the staff. Everyone we interacted with was incredibly friendly and accommodating. A special shoutout to Ana, who went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. She was attentive without being overbearing and just had the kind of positive energy that made the whole experience even better.
If you’re looking for a great place to relax, enjoy good food and drinks, and feel genuinely welcomed, this spot is a must.
What a great, laid back, environment to chill for a bit and get acclimated to the cocoa beach vibe. Longboards tiki beach grille provided a great place for the kids to play after we checked out for the day before we had to hit the road to our next destination. Renā and Lindsey are amazing behind the bar.
The food was really good, and the servers are super reaponsive and nice. Drinks are reasonable, for a hotel.
The staff was absolutely wonderful. The atmosphere was fabulous. The food was really good except for the crab cakes. They were so very mushy. But the coconut shrimp was out of this world. Everything else was very good. With the drinks between the 2 of us, we spent just about $90. We each had 2 drinks for reference.
The food was great! I definitely recommend the Ahi Blackend tacos, wings,coconut shrimp,and Key Lime Pie. Our waitresses, Abby and Angala, and the other staff I didn't catch the names of were very friendly and did an amazing job! Thank you!

I visited The Green Room Café during a trip to Cocoa Beach! After a long day at the beach, my friend and I were craving something healthy, and the Yogi wrap with added vegan chicken was exactly what I needed. Packed with fresh veggies like avocado, tomato, shredded carrots, and crunchy red cabbage, the wrap struck the perfect balance of crisp and creamy. The hummus added a smooth richness, and the vegan chicken (seriously, so good) gave it a satisfying, protein-packed bite without feeling heavy. The toasted tortilla held everything together perfectly without falling apart.
Honestly, it’s the kind of meal that makes you feel like you’re treating your body and your tastebuds.
Highly recommend if you want something colorful, filling, and full of flavor.
We loved this little cafe! The food was so fresh and delicious! Our waitress was very friendly and the cafe itself was adorable. We look forward to visiting again whenever we are in the area.
Super cool local vibe. Alysa was a phenomenal servicer and helped us pick what to order. Food was amazing. Hidden gem.
This place was incredible! My family and I are visiting the area and grateful we stumbled across them. We had the best dinner and dessert! We are all vegan and they were incredibly accommodating to swap out some things to make it fully vegan. I would suggest the Rubio. Even the dressing was vegan! So good!!! Thanks for what you guys do!
Stopped in on Tuesday...WOW! What a fantastic lunch we had!
We ordered a cup each of 1000 bean soup, the tuna sandwiches with Tea and Smoothie. The most satisfying to be sure. We left with GF Chocolate cake!

Great food and service. My group ordered butter chicken (pretty good), malai kofta (delicious), and paneer saag (very good), all mild spice level. The vegetable samosas were excellent also! Their naan is some of the best I’ve ever had. I’d come back again if I’m ever in the area!
Honest Review: Flavors of India - Cocoa Beach, FL (4/5 Stars)
Step into a culinary adventure at Flavors of India in Cocoa Beach, where every bite feels like a vibrant journey through India’s rich food culture! I recently indulged in a delightful dine-in experience, and let me tell you, it was a treat worth raving about. The cozy, inviting ambiance instantly set the mood, making it an ideal spot for a fun outing with friends or a cozy family meal.
The menu is a treasure trove of authentic flavors, and I dove into the Chicken Tikka Masala (mild) and Navratan Korma—both bursting with aromatic spices and cooked to perfection. The samosas? Oh, they were a crispy, golden revelation, packed with savory goodness! Paired with the soft, fluffy naan and the indulgent bullet naan, every mouthful was a delight. To top it off, the masala chai warmed my soul with its spiced perfection.
The staff was warm and eager to please, though the hustle of peak hours added a dash of chaos to the service. At $65.20 for a feast for two, the pricing felt like a steal for the generous portions. The only hiccup? Limited seating can turn it into a cozy squeeze when it’s busy. Still, this gem is a must-visit for Indian food enthusiasts, and I’m already counting the days until my next visit—earning it a hearty 4 out of 5 stars!
This place has AMAZING food! Very friendly staff as well. Make sure to try the carrot cake and the chilli shrimp! Hands down the best Indian restaurant in the county.
I've been coming to this place for years, and it surprises us more every day! Our favorite appetizer is the eggplant with tamarind; it's an explosion of flavors!! The service is excellent, guys!
I just randomly tried this place while visiting Cocoa beach. Though I’ve traveled to 16 countries so I already have a love for international food. It was the best food I’ve had in a while. Really nice restaurant and atmosphere. Staff is really friendly and made excellent recommendations. The food was absolutely phenomenal.
The lunch special was absolutely amazing.... The food was hot and favorful.. The service was impeccable... Highly recommend that if you are up in the Cocoa Beach area, to stop in and give it a try.. You won't be disappointed..
This was our first real experience with India food. The first thing to say is WOW. The dinners we ordered was set up to share. The flavors of the spices is mind blowing. The staff is extremely nice. As the Treminator say "we will be back" . Give it a try you will not be disappointed.

Nestled conveniently on the Cocoa Beach Causeway, Mangia & Bevi Pizzeria Napoletana is a delightful addition to the local dining scene. This charming pizzeria boasts both indoor and outdoor seating, making it an ideal spot for enjoying a meal in the fresh air or cozying up inside. Known for its authentic wood-fired pizzas, this eatery offers a thin-crust experience that transports you straight to Italy with every bite.
This was a random visit and turned out to be one of the best neopolitan pizza experiences I’ve ever had in Florida. The crust was airy, flavorful, simply amazing. They use the freshest ingredients, they have authentic Italian beers and wine and going back to the pizza it’s also so thin and packed with flavor that soothes your soul. This will be my go to place every time I’m in Cocoa beach

If you are desiring true authentic Italian food, this is the place! This hidden gem has excellent personal service & a clean appealing atmosphere. There is a nice selection of imported Beverages and wines from Italy, The quality of food is as if your "Nona" prepared it herself. True authentic Italian food made with love.
All of our prepared dishes were nicely displayed. Our dinning choices consisted of the fresh arugula & caprese salads, the parmigiana di melanzane eggplant appetizer, the riggitoni alla bolognese al dente', and the Quattro formaggi, Margherita and Funghi brick oven pizzas. Each dish had an amazing taste of home quality and would have you thinking of what to order on your next visit, haaa. The pizza's were a generous size for a 12", with a very light dough consisting of a ever so slight char and quality sauce & toppings. Delicious is an understatement. We topped it off with expresso and the homemade Tiramisu dessert. Couldn't snap a photo quick enough before the ladies dove in... now have a new goto restaurant in Cocoa Beach, Bravo!
Absolutely amazing pizza! When folks said this was like eating pizza in Naples (Italy), they weren’t exaggerating. We had the meatballs as a starter and then three different pizzas which were all very flavorful.
It’s not the biggest place, so on a busy night be prepared to wait. It’s worth it. That was my complaint about this amazing place: It’s quite small and easy to miss based on its location.
It was fine.
My wife had the calzone, i had the meat lovers.
the crust/bread/dough was fantastic! Mine was burnt. I’m not angry. I get pizza ovens are notoriously finnicky and the crust was thin. the rest of the toppings were just fine. kinda bland
What a Gem! This place was absolutely fantastic. I can’t believe that I hadn’t previously known about it. I have no photos except for our empty plates.
Starters: We ordered the Polpetes & Caprese Salad for starters. The meatballs & sauce were very flavorful and wonderfully homemade.
Primo Piato: All three of us ordered the Rigatoni Bolognese which was also perfectly done, with the rigatoni cooked perfectly al dente.
Pizzas: Ee ordered the Diavola, rhe Margarita, and the Fungi. Everyone loved their pizza. The crusts were true Napolitana, the sauce was yummy, the mozzarella was fresh and tender, and the various toppings were the perfect amount.
For Dessert, we shared a Tiramisu. Never tasted such a wonderful Tiramisu before.
I wish I could have fit more in my stomach. Luckily my daughters couldn’t finish theirs, and brought theirs home. I’ll be eating that today for breakfast.
So glad I saw Mangia & Bevi in a FB page that I follow, and this place is going on my list of favorites to visit at least once a month.
If you haven’t already, you have to go for yourself. This is real, simple, Italian food. The best Italian food are the simple recipes it doesn’t have to be overly complex, and they do it perfectly at Mangia & Bevi, which is now on my personal Top 2 Italian restaurants in Brevard County. I’m Italian, grew up eating real homemade Italian food, I cook Italian in my house - everything from scratch, all old school recipes, so I have a flavor standard when it comes to Italian.
Sorry, no pics to show except our empty plates!
Hit this place!
I will start by saying I only review restaurants that impress me. I will also say I know pizza. Having eaten in some of the highest rated pizzeria's in the country and didn't feel a need to give them a review.
We walked in and were energetically welcomed by every employee in view. The dining area could use an upgrade in tables, chairs, and decor. As well as fountain soda rather than bottled. But if that's what keeps you from trying this place you will be missing out.
I ordered the 16" meat lover's with red sauce. The crust was perfect, the red sauce delicious and a perfect balance to the cheese, meats, fresh basil and the extra virgin olive oil.
I do not say this lightly, hands down the single best pizza I have ever had!! This place should be on everyone's list to try. You will not be disappointed!
Not only does it smell amazing once you walk in but it feels like a slice of Italy. Everyone I spoke to was awesome plus I was able to enjoy watching my pizza being made (ladies it’s a view hehe you’re welcome) but the margarita pizza is so delicious and beautiful! Just look! Next time I definitely will have to stay there and eat instead of taking pizza to go.
The staff is very friendly, and you feel like you're sitting in a family kitchen in Italy! The aroma of the pizzas baking in their wood-fired oven is intoxicating! The pizza is so good with such healthy pizza dough! It was crispy, but not too much. The cheese was delicious, and it was an authentic European pizza. Very much like the pizza I had in Switzerland. Yummy!

I attended Roig’s Cuban Piano Concert at Heidi’s Piano Bar and was unexpectedly surprised. The intimate setting and the quality of sound were ideal for it. I enjoyed the linen service, cleanliness and attentiveness of the hostess and manager. While the wine selection and quality of spirits served are superior to most area establishments and the martini was excellently chilled and served, the service was not. The food was not impressive or tasty (had breaded veal, potatoes, veggies and red cabbage.)
Despite parking being an issue requiring the use of the city’s garage, a short walk and three flights of stairs (no elevator seen), It is a pleasant change of pace and experience as a local. Do expect to spend $$$.
First time customer. Very impressed. We stopped in for a light dinner. They have two sides the jazz bar and dinner side. Victoria took care of all our needs, we split three appetizers. Lobster 🦞 bisque, brie bake w fruit plate and caprese salad. The salad was delightful with cherry tomatoes, mozzarella balls, fresh mixed greens and herbs sprinkled with balsamic reduction. Brie melted from the crust when sliced, paired the sliced strawberries, grapes, apples with s blackberry sauce.
Attended Heidi's with a large group. Overall, it was a very nice experience. The food was delicious. They must have been short-staffed because it was one server waiting on the entire room so there was a bit of a wait on additional beverages and refills. It's an energetic ambiance and I think it would be a cool place for a dinner date.
We came last night for Kemuel Roig’s concert. What an amazing musician!! We drove from Orlando because we follow Kemuel on social media and we know how amazing he is!! The show was spectacular! Along with the food!! The best scallops I have had in a long time!! The filet mignon was also nice and tender! The cosmopolitan was crafted to perfection! Even the coffee was perfect! Our server and everyone that works in this place were very friendly and attentive. And the experience was beyond outstanding because Kemuel and his talent closed it with a golden seal, what a perfect combo! Amazing food and this amazing musician! I hope you keep bringing him back! So we have a reason to visit Cocoa Beach that we are guaranteed to be worth it!! Heidi’s Jazz Club after last night, will be recommended to all of our friends! Loved it!!
Our first time enjoying this amazing venue. Purchased tickets online to secure our table. Arrived early and were met by the very friendly and professional staff. Were able to choose between seating which was great when deciding on the noice level of music.
Ordered drinks which where very well made and not lacking in an way. Decided upon the following appetizers:
-Lobster Bisque
-French Onion Soup
-Baked Brie w/fruits & fresh bread
Bisque was very nice but slightly milky. The French onion and Baked Brie were spot on!
Entrées consisted of:
-Fresh local grouper baked w/ roasted potatoes & string beans/carrots
-Beef filet stroganoff w/ a side pasta, string beans & carrots.
The Entrées were excellent in presentation , preparation and taste!
For dessert we chose:
-Creme Brulee w/ whip cream
Dessert was absolutely delicious.
I would highly recommend this amazing super elegant & special venue to any locals or visitors to the area. Our service and experience was amazing. We will definitely be back! 5*****
This was our first time at Heidi's. We loved it! The food was amazing, the service was amazing, and the music and atmosphere was amazing! It was great night out with friends. If you get the chance check out Heidi's.
This was a perfect ending to a perfect vacation. Pork chop pictured was tender and prepared to perfection. Service was attentive but not intrusive. Loved the piano music.

The restaurant prides itself on using locally sourced ingredients to create a diverse menu featuring fresh seafood, gourmet burgers, and artisanal pasta with a unique twist. The inviting ambiance is complemented by stylish decor and warm service, making it an ideal choice for casual meals or special occasions.
Amazing experience overall! The name of the restaurant says it all. We went for early dinner. Finding the place was a little tricky. We missed it twice and had to go back around the block. As you are coming on N. Orlando ave., the restaurant is on the left. There’s parking available along the avenue.
As we entered we really enjoyed the nice ambience, and romantic atmosphere with dimmed lighting and real candles on the tables.
Service was excellent. Our waitress, Rachel explained everything clearly. We shared the seared artichoke salad, which was delicious, with a not overpowering nice dressing. My wife had the salmon special, accompanied by a rock shrimp, salmon and sea bass cake. I had the paella. Both dishes were delicious and both presentations were beautiful. Thank you Chef Jason. Timing between beverage, appetizer, and entrees was perfect.
As the evening progressed, the restaurant became quickly filled, and of course, the noise level highly increased as expected.
We really enjoyed our time here, and we are looking forward to come back soon. We highly recommend it.

I've had the pleasure of dining at Flavour Kitchen and Wine Bar several times, and each experience has been fantastic. The food is consistently delicious – clearly showcasing Jason's impressive culinary talent. Plus, the service is always warm and welcoming.
Extraordinary!
This place is beautifully decorated with a mouthwatering menu.
We went as a group of four and went all in! We ordered a little bit of everything and shared all of our dishes leaving nothing behind, full to the gills and dopamine filled brains.
For wine lovers, you are guaranteed to find a fine bottle to enjoy with your meal.
We sat at the chef table and joked around and admired chef Jason’s work. He truly is an artist in the kitchen. The night was filled with laughs and one incredible bite after the next.
Every dish was not only beautiful, but tasted even grander. Using unique ingredients and gorgeous presentations, everything was cooked to perfection which had my pallet dancing between textures and of course FLAVOUR!
This was truly a magical evening, and I count the days to when we can do it again.
If you have never been, go! Thank me later.
Flavour is my favorite restaurant in the area! The chef is the proprietor and is an exceptional chef what I would think would be Michelin level!! There are three unique specials every night in addition to a great menu! I posted the picture of the whole red snapper that I had for dinner last night, which was delicious served on a bed of rice and peas. Really enjoyed speaking with the servers and the chef during my multiple dining experiences over the last three weeks. The atmosphere is very pleasant. Great for romantic evening out and very nice upbeat music.
Amazing food and best onion soup I have ever had, best dinner in Coco Beach! So glad I stopped here. You can tell the chef, Jason, puts attention into every detail. Unforgettable dinner!
Rolled into Flavour Kitchen for dinner last night and damn—it was an experience. Met Jason (the owner and culinary beast), James (the bartender slinging top-tier wine), and Rachel (the waitress with service so sharp it could cut glass). The food? Next-level. So good we came back less than 12 hours later for brunch—and it somehow hit even harder. Jason’s not just a chef, he’s a culinary savage. 10/10 would go to war for this place.
The music was really loud, I could barely hear the server. Overall, definitely a 5*.
We opted for a few drinks and small plates.
The smoked salmon is a MUST try! The combo is devine! Tuna tartar a close second. A smidge of spicy but tolerable and complements the other flavors. The meatballs and bread were delicious!
Since it was my birthday, we got a blue berry pie. The crust, crumble, and caramel were AMAZING!
Flavour in Cocoa Beach is an absolute gem! The food and service were outstanding, and we even had the chance to meet the chef, who personally took our dinner order, a really special touch. It’s a low-key, relaxed spot, but the food is anything but low key, every dish was packed with flavor and beautifully prepared. Highly recommend for anyone looking for an amazing dining experience in Cocoa Beach!

Nice clean beach with lots of shells 🐚
$20 parking. Parking lot is very close to the actual beach and there aren’t any stairs to the beach which makes it easy to bring a beach wagon. They have 2 volley ball courts. Multiple bathrooms. Chairs and umbrellas available to rent.

We recently got into cruising and our trip to cocoa beach pier was absolutely awesome there was a waiter named Harvey. I was really thankful for his service I was so impressed with him that he got me my coconut drink for me that I have been wanting everywhere we have been. My only regret is getting him to sign my coconut so I named him HARVEY after him. Wonderful experience He was really great deserving of a raise. It’s a place I would love to visit again. So Harvey you’re awesome thank you so much…from Tennessee
We stopped by the Cocoa Beach Pier early in the afternoon while exploring the area and were pleasantly surprised. The pier itself is fantastic, a vibrant mix of eateries, shops, and great ocean views, all right on the beautiful, pristine beach. The beach atmosphere was relaxed and inviting, perfect for a stroll or simply soaking in the coastal vibe.
We were able to park right out front, which was convenient, though it cost $20. We didn’t really look for other parking options, but the ease of access made it worth it for us.
Overall, it's a great spot to take in the scenery, grab a bite, and enjoy a classic Florida beach experience!
My wife and I stopped here late in the morning of August 15, 2025 while on a camping trip to Jetty Park a few miles to the north of it. We tried to go in the morning after breakfast, but the parking lot was closed and the attendant told us it opened at 11:00, but it was going to cost us $15 to park. I wasn't real happy about that, but we came back after checking out nearby Ron Jon Surf Shop for a few hours. It appears the Westgate Mall company bought out the pier a few years ago and has done a good job of cleaning it up and renovating it. There are several restaurants along the pier now and we dined at the giant Tiki Bar way out on the end of it. You can also rent beach chairs and umbrellas on the beach. Overall, in spite of the expensive parking fee, this is definitely a nice place to go if you are visiting Cocoa Beach.
Cocoa Beach Pier is the spot to be—lively, full of energy, and with amazing waves, especially on the right side of the pier. Spent a month here and loved every minute. Great surf, ocean views, and a vibrant atmosphere make it unforgettable for locals and visitors alike.
Beach is clean. Expect crowds. We took our beach blanket and stuff but there are chairs and umbrella rentals in the beach. Thing is all those close at 5pm, then they collect them back. There were washrooms, we were able to change clothes in them. Enough space for that but not too clean. There were showers to wash off sand. Also there were gift shops and restaurants. We were able to buy some beers and food. Don’t forget to take your ID for that. 1 beer for 1 ID. Other than sunbathing saw people surfing, playing volleyball as well.
Excellently well maintained, there are ice cream shops, souvenirs stores, a restaurant , restrooms and some space to walk and admire the ocean and the beach and the surfers. Really refreshing to go up there 100% recommended . It’s Free. Opens with good weather because if there is a bit of bad weather it will be closed for safety.
I bought so much clothing from one of those shops! The word Threads was in it, I don't remember. I bought all my souvenirs there, clothing, jewelry. I ate at Pier 52, it was awesome!! I had the Gator Melt.

We had dinner here with a medium-sized party, and everything was excellent. The food was fresh and very good, with large portions at reasonable prices. The wait staff was friendly and attentive, making the experience even better. I would definitely go back again!
Stopped in with the family the night before leaving on a cruise. Fun place. Great food and drinks. Sat upstairs outside and saw a bunch of ships and police boats cruise by. Wait staff is awesome and food is great-typical pub fair with good seafood. Even their clam chowder was good (saying a lot as we are a Boston crew). Family friendly. They don’t take reservations which is sort of deceptive from Open Table (you think it’s going to be packed and it’s not). This is a type of place that would be PACKED on Cape Cod (with no parking).
Awesome view restaurant as you wait to board a cruise ship or just returned from one. Brunch is served with fun morning drinks. The staff is helpful and friendly. When it is scorching hot, they will provide table fans (limited). The menu has a variety of choices. The eggs Benedict were amazing. Food was good but not overly hot. The restaurant has an elevator to the second floor, a small gift shop and plenty of photo op areas
We love fish lips! Tonight we had fish and chips and Caprese and clam chowder and it was all absolutely amazing. Everett is a great server and very attentive and friendly. I also noticed that one of the waitresses/bartenders was wiping down a table diligently, and that made me very happy to know that things are clean. That has not always been our experience at other restaurants. Plus it’s right on the inlet going to where the cruise ships depart and enter. We had a nice breeze and it might be a great place to watch rocket launches but I’m not sure. 10 out of 10 we will come back here.
We had a delightful meal here and were advised this restaurant would supply both good food and drinks. It did not disappoint! I had the Mac n cheese with shrimp and scallops— very cheesy and delicious. I do wish they gave me a second breadstick to compliment the Mac n cheese but maybe I’m just greedy. The other choices we had were the fish and chips and we did have a vegetarian in the group who found a delicious bowl option. Oh! I almost forgot we did also each try one of their mocktails and boy those hit the spot too. It’s nice to find a place where you can get a nice drink without having to get alcohol.
Awesome food and outdoor seating area. Highly recommend the Fettuccine Alfredo, had very creamy sauce and good flavor. Husband liked the snapper and he said the hollandaise sauce it came with was great. They had a trunk or treat event afterwards which was a lot of fun for the kids.
Stopped in for a late lunch while in town the day before we left for a cruise. This local was recommended by a local friend that said the food and atmosphere were great. We had a party of 4 and were able to get a table out by the water and watched the cruise ships leave while we were eating. All of the food we ordered was delicious and my sister really enjoyed one of the local beer offerings.

This place was fantastic! The falafel platter was amazing, good portion and came with a side of pita.
The baklava cheesecake was one of the best desserts I have ever had. I would come back just for that.
The food was absolutely delicious and full of flavor! The service was excellent, and Mohammad was very kind and attentive. Highly recommend this Lebanese restaurant one of the best experiences I’ve had
Food was absolutely amazing. I had the eggplant bowl and grape leaves, husband had the chicken schwarma. Clean plate club. The atmosphere is absolutely amazing and cozy. Moe our waiter was very attentive and kind. He was making sure everyone was taken care of. With a warm, friendly smile on his face. You definitely don’t want to miss out on eating here!
Food was absolutely delicious and everyone was very very kind. Very generous portions and the atmosphere had the most beautiful vibes. Wish we lived in the area to come more often!
Every time I visit Florida, I try to visit Cocoa Beach, and every time I do, I have to have dinner at Pita Paradise! The food service, vibes, are amazing! Cauliflower hummus is to die for! Beef kabobs, Beef Milanese, and the fried Branzino are our top favorites.
I can’t believe it took me a whole year of living in Cape Canaveral to finally try Pita Paradise—because wow, this place is a hidden gem that totally lives up to its name.
From the moment we walked in, we were warmly greeted with a “Welcome to Paradise,” and that welcoming energy carried through the entire experience. The atmosphere is cozy and authentic, with a vibe that makes you feel like you're part of something local and special.
We ordered platters of gyro and chicken shawarma over seasoned rice, with fresh veggies, warm pita, and creamy tzatziki—and every bite hit the spot. The flavors were bold and comforting, and the presentation was beautiful (as you can see in the photos). The meal felt like something lovingly made, not rushed or generic.
To top it off, we split a dessert that was the perfect blend of crunchy, creamy, and just sweet enough to round out the meal.
The service? Outstanding. Friendly, attentive, and genuinely kind. It honestly felt like dining at a family-owned place where they truly care about every guest.
Regret of the night? Only that we didn’t come here sooner. But you can bet we’ll be back. 🌯✨

This place was highly recommended. We drove 1-1/2 hours from Kissimmee (where we were on vacation) to go to the beach and decided to eat at Slow and Low. We weren't disappointed. We ordered the pork and brisket combo with corn muffins, fried okra and a baked sweet potato, a Mexican chicken bowl, baby back ribs with mashed potatoes and mac and cheese, and a brisket sandwich with cole slaw on it and tots for the side. Everything was delicious. The waiter was nice and attentive. We don't typically get dessert, but decided to try some. We ordered the chocolate Oreo cake, deep fried banana split and deep fried bread pudding. The first two were good, but oh my goodness, the deep fried bread pudding is DIVINE. It was worth the trip in itself.

Excellent choice! Food was great! Ribs were tender and tasty. Baked beans had actual pork meat in them. The Beast sandwich was also delicious! It has pulled pork, sausage, cole slaw, onions, and fried pickles in it. Jess provided excellent service. I'd come back to this hidden gem in a heartbeat.
This place rocks. They have great pulled pork. Make sure you try the chicken wings. I believe they are smoked and fried. Very good stuff. Very nice outside and inside dining. Lovely bar with friendly people outside. Love this spot.
My family and I were passing through the area and found this place on Google Maps. After reading the reviews, we decided to give it a try—and I’m so glad we did! The food truly surprised and delighted us. We ordered several dishes, and everything was absolutely delicious. The brisket was perfectly smoked with an amazing flavor, and all the sides were incredibly tasty—each one better than the last. The prices were also very reasonable. The restaurant has two seating areas: an indoor space that smelled amazing but was quite warm that day, and an outdoor area near the bar with a beachy vibe. We chose to sit outside, and the whole experience was really enjoyable. Highly recommend it!
Nice and quick service, then gentlemen at the bar was very kind and did my favorite drink perfectly.
The food is delightful and tender ! The little sweet biscuit is devine !! Found it on google map and not disappointed ❤️🔥
The brisket, mac and cheese, garlic mash just delicious together 😍 and the peanut butter pie 🫶🫶 10/10 for this place ❤️🔥
The fried corn nugget is sweet and creamy ! Ask for butter with it 🌸
Both locations are terrific! Great service from Jerry at Cocoa Beach and Bella at Viera. Privileged to meet owner Nicole and she is awesome! Some of the best BBQ I've ever had. The burnt ends are amazing! Going back soon!!! Thank you Nicole 😁
we LOVE slow and low! we have been coming here every year for years when we vacation in cocoa beach! the BBQ is always great however we got the mashed potatoes which were a little dry which probably could’ve been fixed by adding butter, either way the food was great, and the service was great
A must-visit every year on vacation. The food is simply delicious. The service is always friendly and courteous. The food was prepared quickly, as always.

We both got 2 different alcoholic drinks as well as a ribeye steak dinner and a seafood plank dinner. We ordered garlic shrimp as an appetizer and the shrimp was delicious and tender 👏👏👏 No military discount, but Meganne did thank my husband for his service (22+ years) 👏🫶 She gave great suggestions and answered all my questions and even went to ask for more information for us on a specific wine. 🍷 We will dine here again and request Meganne as our server again 👏👏👏 This was a great anniversary dinner location.

We were greeted by a friendly hostess and were seated promptly at our reserved time. Our server Isabella was very attentive, polite and nice and took the time to go over all the specials. The food is hit or miss. You receive a complimentary bread plate. My husband ordered the shrimp cocktail which he really enjoyed. I ordered the broccoli and cheese soup. I did not care for it. It was like water the consistency. Zero flavor. With dinner, most of the entrees you receive one free side. I ordered for my meal the chicken baguta with a side of the garlic mash potatoes. The chicken very good and flavorable. The sauce is a light herb and garlic. Not overbearing at all. The potatoes were cold and way under cooked. Very lumpy and unedible. My husband ordered the ocean seafood shrimp and scallops plank. He ordered the French fries as his side. He was extremely disappointed. The shrimp was 70% filler. Peppers, onions and breadcrumbs. The scallops fell flat. We ordered a scoop of vanilla ice cream. I think dining here, it just depends what you order if you would enjoy it or not.
If you want steak, lobster, and scallops, they've got it. If you want them all served hot at the temp you desire, not here. I ordered a Delmonico medium rare, and my wife got the Steak Diane with a lobster tail. The ONLY things that were hot were the fries. Now, I RARELY eat out because of experiences like this. This place is not exceptionally bad. This seems to be the American standard these days. It gets a four. But I hope they find a chef that can put food out in a way that impresses, not disappoints, guests.
Had a reservation for 2.
Restaurant was clean and staff was friendly upon walking in.
When we were seated we were advised that our server was in training and will be shadowed by a seasoned server.
Both servers did a great job!
We started with some carpaccio. This place is one of my favorite restauntanta for carpaccio. It was a simple and classic recipe. Juat perfect!
I had the pan seared seabass. It was seared to perfection on top of tomato and spinach. Just an amazing dish. Should be a menu item in my opinion. I also had the truffle parm wedges. The parm was good but the truffle was non existent possibly forgot to add it ti the dish? Im not sure.
I would recommend this restaurant for anyone visiting.
Stopped in for dinner and sat at the bar. Excellent food, we had a Chicken Caesar Salad and Blackened Mahi Mahi. The food and drinks was very good but the Mahi Mahi was out of this world delicious. Hayley, our bartender, was awesome! She was very personable, extremely knowledgeable and genuinely just a nice person. We enjoyed talking to her and she was extremely attentive to all patrons while still maintaining a very personable experience. Although the food and drinks were all incredible, Hayley made the visit even more enjoyable. Highly recommend and if Hayley is working, sit at the bar, you won’t regret it!!
It was our anniversary and I have to say I was disappointed the Mrs. was also. The food was mediocre, margarita on the menu advertised as fresh lemon/lime but given sour mix, to be honest when they make a drink different from advertised and you tell them, they agree it’s not what is advertised on the menu they should take it and remove it from you bill or offer to make it correct. Service was good Bar maid was pleasant.
I’ll be at CuiZine next year much nicer experience they treated us like a king and queen and superior quality of food and overall service is on another level.
First time visit to Gregory's Steak & Seafood Grille and I can say cozy atmosphere, outstanding food, incredible service. My ribeye was cooked perfectly and was outstanding. The service was incredible on every level. And the atmosphere was a cozy laid place serving up great food and great prices. This will be a regular visit when returning to Cocoa Beach. So glad I made the reservations.
Wisconsin supper club vibes in Florida. Gregory’s has the charm of an up-North supper club, with the fabulous flair of German/Florida heritage. The family that owns this restaurant, runs it, and you can tell they pour their hearts and souls into this restaurant. The Lobster ravioli, lobsteraki, and steaks are phenomenal! Great cocktails and desserts too. If there’s one thing to try, it’s the peanut butter cake. Absolutely unreal!

We celebrated our daughter’s 21st bday here and had their awesome breakfast. The Grits and shrimp were amazing! The place was really cute.
The staff was pretty nice except one guy who was not very sociable. We would say Thank You and he would not respond and just walk away.
All in all the food was the best. It would have been nice if the staff was friendlier

The absolute most authentic English pub by far! We had TED as the waiter and he was beyond exceptional! Everyone in this place was super polite and courteous. The interior has super London feelings and vibes and we will certainly return!
Really enjoyed the laid back atmosphere especially at the bar with Ashley. Made us feel at home and the food/drinks were delicious. Also, if you see Mary there, hook her up with a drink! She's a daily and a delight... we started the pay it forward with her and you know what to do next!
We had a fantastic experience at The Pig & Whistle in Cocoa Beach. Ashley and Sara were excellent—friendly, attentive, and really knew the menu. Our group of six was served flawlessly.
The food was top-notch. The Beer Battered Fish & Chips was a standout—crispy, golden, and massive! Easily one of the best pub-style fish and chips I’ve had. I also had the Bangers & Mash, which was hearty and full of flavor, with rich gravy and caramelized onions.
Drinks were ice cold, portions generous, and the service was on point. If you're looking for authentic pub food and great hospitality, this place is a must. We'll definitely be back!
Traditional British pub with excellent food and service. We had a table of 13 and the food was out in 15 minutes - hot and tasty. Not one of us had an issue. Well executed and highly recommended! I had the chicken pot pie - flaky and very good. Be careful though, it comes to your table straight from the oven. Fish and chips, shepherd's pie, Rueben, grilled cheese, and the burgers were all enjoyed by the table. And the bathrooms were clean!! Give 'em a go!!
IT IS WORTH THE MONEY! I was not expecting such a huge piece of COD. My husband tried bangers and mash. Both were delicious!!! We will definitely be returning :) OH AND WE DIDNT EVEN FINISH OUR APPETIZER AND THE FOOD CAME OUT STEAMING :)
Ashley and Sara were amazing! So kind, great hospitality. The food is amazing. The fish and chips were delicious, the bangers and mash were awesome. Bread pudding and sticky toffee were amazing. Great vibes all around and not super busy on a Saturday afternoon!
I had a wonderful time, my waitress was nice and patient since i need to eat and drink slowly.
Never pressured or anything even offer me to bring back the rest ! The tequila sunrise was made perfectly and the beef stroganoff was creamy and the meat tender with a good seasoning ❤️🔥 it’s a must to try !

With its open-air seating and thatched roof, it provides a relaxed atmosphere to enjoy tropical drinks and appetizers like Rikki Tiki wings and seafood dip. The tavern also offers a great kids menu for families.
Great place to sit down, relax, and have a meal or a drink (or both). Nice atmosphere along with a nice ocean breeze. Food was great! I had the fried shrimp with fries, which to me were more like small seasoned potatoes wedges. Both were tasty. My wife got the Kahakai firecracker shrimp tacos.(also tasty). Our children got the Honey Dusted Nashville chicken sandwich, a sushi roll and a southwest bowl. Food was delicious. Service was great! We will more than likely come back on our next trip.

Turns out that they're not used to a high number of customers
So the staff took longer than normal, with most tables full. It took us to get our drinks 5 minutes and about 15 minutes. To get our orders in and the food came out about 20 minutes.
However, the food was great. I had the fish sandwich. Everything was good. The fries was good.
Everybody else enjoyed their meal.The tap water that they used was horrible you can definitely taste the chlorine or whatever cleaning agent. That's in there.
The atmosphere was nice, kind of key.Westy but neglected I saw a lot of damage from the previous storm. Not repaired.
Just a kind of chill environment
I'm not sure I would come back.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This was our first time visiting Rikki Tiki Tavern, and we were honestly blown away! From start to finish, everything about this place was amazing. The food was delicious — the fish dip was one of the best we’ve ever had, perfectly fresh and full of flavor. We also loved the drinks; everything from the frozen cocktails to the cold beers hit the spot, especially with the ocean breeze and sunshine.
The views of the ocean are absolutely incredible — you can’t beat being out over the water like that. It’s the perfect place to relax, have a few drinks, and just take in that true Florida beach vibe. The atmosphere was fun, friendly, and laid-back, exactly what you want when you’re by the coast.
The bartenders and staff were fantastic — super friendly, attentive, and welcoming. You can tell they really enjoy what they do and make sure everyone is having a great time. Whether you’re stopping by for lunch, hanging out for the afternoon, or watching the sunset, this spot is a must-visit.
We’re already talking about coming back the next time we’re in the area. Highly recommend Rikki Tiki Tavern to anyone looking for great food, great drinks, and great vibes with unbeatable ocean views. 🌊🍹🐟☀️
Went to the Rikki Tikki Tavern to hang out at the beach and went here for a beer and some lunch. It was nice cause was within walking distance of the holiday inn express i was stayin at. The bartender was super friendly and amazing. I had the best blackened grouper sandwich with some seasoned pasta salad side and a IPA beer. Really nice view of the ocean, beach and off in the distance you can see the launch pads at John F. Kennedy Space Center. It was nice and breezy at the bar so wasn't incredibly hot even though it was hot if your under the sun. It was a cute bar with a good selection of food and beers. Definitely recommend if you happen to be in Coca Beach.
Was looking for a place to enjoy the weather and have a drink, ended up staying for hours enjoying music, great food and cold drinks.
Our server was awesome, open air bar birds were cool… just a nice spot to hang.
Only got drinks. The drinks were good. Pricing is a little high. The view is priceless. I’ve been here twice on a windy day being out on a pier like that is super cool highly recommend visiting just for the experience.
Visited in sept and had a blast! Yummy drinks, friendly staff and great ocean views. Maybe the perfect weather that day had something to do with it, but we regularly talk about the tiki tavern being one of our favorite parts of the whole trip!
Located at the end of the Cocoa Beach Pier, this bar has amazing views. There is plenty of seating, shaded and in the sun. The bar is over the water so you can see down the beach and watch the surfers and beach goers. There are plenty of drink options and although we didn’t eat, the food items looked fabulous, especially the sushi options. The bar was clean, given it is located outside. There is a nice breeze. There are some birds flying around, but it adds to the atmosphere. They are not flying into your food.

Such a great place! A build your own taco, burrito, and bowl place that has vegetarian options with just veggies or jackfruit! The jackfruit was delicious! Small place but lots of atmosphere and flavor! The employees were patient while we tried to decide what we wanted and were very friendly and welcoming! We loved it and will be back if we are ever in Coco Beach again! Thank you, Roc the Guac!

Rock the Guac is one of those easy, go-to spots that saves the day when no one in my family can agree on- we love coming after a beach day. The food is fresh, flavorful, and quick—plus everyone actually eats here without complaint (a true family miracle). The staff is always friendly, the atmosphere is fun, and it’s perfect for a casual bite that still tastes amazing. Big win all around. 🌮🥑🙌
The staff was so friendly and the food was amazing. Very reasonable prices.
First time here and the food was excellent!! Really well seasoned. The Queso was the best Queso I've ever had from any restaurant. My daughter is picky and she CRUSHED her kids hard shell taco. Owner came out and gave her a sticker. The staff was amazing, super patient and answered my million and one questions.!! Thanks for the memories!!!
Come with an appetite, you will need it should you go with one of their burritos. I stop here for lunch whenever I am working on the area and I never leave disappointed. They now have birria as a protein option. Not too shabby!
This little restaurant was a great find! My cousins recommended and it did not disappoint! I got the burrito bowl with pork and lots of toppings. So good!! I highly recommend checking it out when in the Cocoa Beach area!
After driving past this place for years, I finally decided to check it out—and I’m glad I did! The food was fresh, the service was fast, and the chips and guacamole were outstanding. I placed a to-go order, and it was ready right on time. They offer a great variety of toppings and proteins to choose from. Parking can be a bit tricky, and the indoor seating area is small, but it’s a convenient counter-service spot well worth the visit!
The food was very fresh, the steak was super tender, and everything tasted great (very high quality!) My husband wanted me to make sure and mention that the burrito was very generous in size; “much bigger than Chipotle.” 😉
They had numerous gluten free options, and even offered dairy-free and vegan options. There were two lovely ladies who were very welcoming and accommodating. If we’re in the area again, we’ll be back!

In addition to sweet offerings, the shop also serves savory options such as hotdogs and burgers. A must-try is their stuffed shaved ice, featuring a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream atop the finely shaved ice.
My wife loves snow cones so she found this place when searching for a desert after lunch. I normally don’t have one when she finds a place but the owner at Oasis convinced me to try the Butterbeer with soft serve. It was pretty dang fantastic!! I would most definitely go back if ever in Cocoa Beach again.
Jeffrey H — Google review
Oasis Shaved Ice was a bit of a mixed bag.
Unfortunately, the shaved ice itself was disappointing — it was shaved too finely and melted almost instantly, even before we could sit down at the indoor table. I ordered the passion fruit flavor, which turned out to be overly sweet with none of the tanginess I expected. The lime portion, thankfully, had a better balance with a tangier, less sugary taste.
My wife wasn’t thrilled with her choices either — wedding cake and cream soda — both were overly sweet and melted just as fast.
We decided to give their cookies a shot. The staff recommended the Coconut Chocolate Macadamia cookie (introduced as “the crack of Cocoa Beach”), but it fell flat for us — served cold and just not enjoyable. However, after letting the others warm up in the sun, we were pleasantly surprised. The Peanut Butter & Raspberry Jam and the Strawberry Lemonade cookies were absolutely delicious — we’d definitely order those again.
Overall, there were a few bright spots, but not quite enough to guarantee a return visit.
Super friendly staff and great shaved ice! My go to is always birthday cake flavor, but I had to try the butter beer. Great choice!
Owner was extremely kind and friendly! All syrup flavors are homemade and you can tell. One of the best sno cones I have had. Ice was very soft. My husband got the old fashioned with ice cream (his first time trying with ice cream) and he loved it. I got the strawberry cheesecake which was also amazing! We will be back before we head home for sure!!
Fantastic from beginning to end, starting with the owner and the care and love she puts into her shaved ice! 🍧 So many flavors to choose from and the budder beer flavor was outstanding! You won’t find better shaved ice!!
Absolutely loved this place! Such a gem to visit. We met Miss Vicki, who is the owner of this shop. She is truly the sweetest lady and you can see how passionate she is about her store. My friend and I both got “Happiness all the way”, which is a mix of birthday cake and cotton candy. She even gave us samples of other kinds and cold water to drink on the hot day. We will definitely be coming back :) 15/10 RECOMMEND!🤩
Such a great experience! The owner took her time to connect with us and shared that she makes all her syrups& ice herself. You can truly tell she loves her customers and her shop. We received so many recommendations to try this place out & I’m happy we finally did. We ordered the butterbeer with “the works” and sour strawberry lemonade. Shaved ice, ice cream, marshmallow syrup. So delicious!
We love this place. Our family stops by every other week for our shaved ice fix. There is a vast selection of flavors, and the service is fantastic. They have a cute collection of Coca-Cola collectibles

We’ve always felt ~meh~ about most of the Asian restaurants in the Brevard area, but feel strongly enough to call Nosh one of our favorites after dining there just once. The balance of sweet,spicy,tangy was just spot on with the drunken noodles. We will definitely be back. Pictures below don’t do the food justice. In order they are Tofu Drunken Noodles (no egg), Veggie Sushi Roll and Vegetable Mango Yellow Curry.

This is the best sushi I've ever had. The rolls are large and full of flavor. We had the loaded tuna nachos monkey leg roll, sea of Love, two California rolls for the kids, super crunch roll, and the tiki Ricki roll. All were done very well. My whole family are sushi lovers and this beats out sushi in big cities like Chicago. 10/10 I'd recommend this to anyone.
First time here in a few years. It was great!
We started with loaded tuna nachos. Omg they were delicious. Presentation was amazing and the taste matched it.
Three of us split four rolls. Super crunch, super volcano, true to you and sea of love. Great presentation, large sized and really good. I mean really good.
Small place, cute and busy but fastest sushi service around. Will not disappoint.
Wife and I were just driving around Coco Beach and saw the restaurant and decided to check it out. Good thing we did. Delicious food, generous servings, fresh sushi/sashimi, and reasonably priced. Great staff and service. Highly recommended. It’s really a hidden gem in Coco beach. I only wish that they’re open at lunch time.
Excellent food! Our server, Paul, was very knowledgeable about the menu and super helpful!
This place was a bit of a surprise because on the outside it looks like you're just walking into another part of the store that the restaurant shares the building with. But from the moment you open the door you expect something a lot more classy than what first appears from outside
The restaurant was open with a bit of a warehouse feel, a lot of fresh wood accents and moderate spacing between tables which made you feel that you had a bit of privacy. As an appetizer we had some sashimi a la carte: two pieces of tuna sashimi and two pieces of salmon nigiri. There are a lot of options on the menu whether you wanted hot food or sushi! I almost couldn't make up my mind! I finally landed on the no-name role and did not regret it!
My partner ordered the drunken noodles with chicken and we both really liked to that too! The portions are more than generous, the flavor was spot-on, and the service was what you would expect in a much more costly restaurant, more like the exceptional service we've received at high-end steakhouses, abroad in Croatia, etc.
We could not have been more pleasantly surprised or had fuller tummies if we had gone anywhere else!🏆🏆🏆
A huge thanks to the servers and stuff! Make sure you take some time to check out the handiwork of the bartender as he is juggling (literally) spirits - that would be alcohol 😁😅
Since we arrived on Sunday, we have visited this restaurant twice, both times the food was GREAT. The sushi is excellent as is the fried rice. This is a must go restaurant in cocoa beach. The bartender Paul is pretty cool too.
Great place! Didn’t expect it to be located in this cozy strip mall but the games and good sushi rolls were amazing! Went on a busy Saturday night but didn’t wait too long for the food
2 wines, 2 rolls, sashimi and red curry came out the $100!
Loved the Armageddon roll and the lover of the sea roll. Would definitely come back when in cocoa beach!
Relaxed and welcoming place that has a good selection of sushi. It’s in a plaza next to a beach shop with parking in the front and back. I ended up opting for a Bento Box that came with some sashimi pieces, California roll, and some fried rolls along with Pad Thai. It was pretty filling and had a good variety. Service was friendly and the ambiance is pretty chill.

An ok spot if you can’t find another spot in the area. The food was ok, not the best Mexican food. I found that the rice lacked flavor as well as the beans. The chicken burrito only had 3 pieces of chicken.. all sauce. We also had the chicken quesadilla and the chicken mix that they use for it does not go well.. it’s a sort of chicken stew mixture which just makes the tortilla soggy.. The best thing about this spot is the atmosphere, looks really nice. The lights at night are very cute & a cozy feel. Overall, ok!
Stopped in after visiting the beach. Restaurant looks trendy and maybe a hot spot at night. The decor looks almost club like with neon colors and lights.
The menu is rather large with many selections. We ordered the supreme burrito and the Mar y Tierra plates (surf and turf).
The burrito was good except it looked and tasted like it was smothered in the same sauce they bring out with the chips. Almost tasted like spaghetti sauce.
The steak was tender but the shrimp was overcooked. The cheese sauce on top was accented it. Good generous portion. Seasoned very well.
They serve like a liter of soda, we never ran out or needed a refill.
Only negative thing was that it was a Thursday around 4pm and it was relatively slow, and most of the wait staff was sitting around on their phones between checking in on their tables. I get it you're bored but that's not something patrons want to see.
We were so excited to try this place out but left disappointed. The service was not the best. Not only did our server struggle understanding our English but we were charge $1.99 for 9, yes 9 packets of ketchup. Our fajita meat was overcooked and dry. We mentioned it and our server shrugged. Went long times without water refills and so on. Very disappointing.
The atmosphere is fun at least.
I have to give a shout out, we have been here before and serves authentic Mexican food. Fabulous!!! Located on North Atlantic Ave....in Coco Beach. Seating in or out... with an optional bar too. People are friendly and I can hear good vibes everywhere.. stop by and par take!
Amazing spot in Cocoa Beach!
La Catrina exceeded all expectations. The margaritas are hands-down the best in town—perfectly balanced and refreshing. The food was full of authentic Mexican flavor, and the staff made the experience even better with their warm and attentive service. A great vibe all around. Definitely coming back soon!
We absolutely adore this place! Tried it for the first time when we were here last year and have been talking about it and counting down seconds until we could come back and have the crab dip again! It is literally the best dip I have ever eaten in my life! I scrape the bowl every time! We are hitting a cruise and will be back in 6 days to have it again before we head back to Kentucky!!!
Nice little bar restaurant with a very nice decoration especially at night with the lights. We only had cocktails, a little too sweet I didn't really feel the alcohol.

Loved the atmosphere. The food was good but not the best. Not for the prices. Our server was nice and explained anything we needed to know, like do not feed the birds.
I got the calamari and the oysters. Never had oysters like this before, but they were good.
Food and drinks were excellent very friendly staff members. Absolutely loved it!! food was fresh and tasty. Sour Sake was amazing 🥰
I had the California roll which consist of cucumber, avocado, and imitation crab meat. Then I had the fried shrimp and fries. Everything was good the view of the water and all. I like that the shrimp was too too fried. The only place I really enjoyed eating at in Cocoa Beach and I was there for 8 days 7 nights.
Stumbled upon this place and omg… the nest sushi we have ever had. So fresh and beautiful presentation. Would not expect such awesome food from a bar at the beach!
We came to the new restaurant mainly to see our buddy Ian while my friend was in town. Since there was a 30–40 minute wait for his section, we ended up sitting at the bar instead. Even though we weren’t at one of his tables, Ian still went out of his way to check on us, give us great recommendations, and make sure we were taken care of. That kind of service really stood out and made the experience even better. Highly recommend stopping in!
Great spot. Can't beat the location. $100 for the two of us. That included 2 bar drinks, an app, and two entrees. I will return next time I'm in Cocoa Beach.
Very mixed feelings about this place. Easy to get a table and right off the beach so that’s a plus. Great views while you eat is also a plus. It was just me and my wife but I would not our children if we came with them.
The server was friendly but definitely pushing alcohol drinks and wasn’t overly happy when we wanted food. No complaints on him just felt like the environment was a quick turn around on tables and mostly a drinking crowd.
The food was good too meh at best. Crabs were over cooked and for the love of god don’t get the aloha chicken unless you like burnt to a crisp chicken tasting like a fart sandwich. Whatever macaroni it’s topped with is absolutely divine though. Calamari was on point and drinks were tasty.
Not pricy but not cheap because it’s not McDonald’s. Will probably go again but never getting that chicken sandwich again!

10/10 recommend! How fun!!
I don’t drink, but I love to go out still! The atmosphere is perfect. Walking past it often, I thought it was a very sophisticated older martinis scene so I put off going to come dressed up cute. Went with a gf, and as we’re walking in (beautiful inside by the way) I overhear someone say “wanna go sit in the back” to one of their friends. I literally walked to the back so fast so curiously, and now this is our new spot!
I love the vibe out back, very outdoor Miami bar scene feeling which was really fun! We went at night, HIGHLY recommend, and went the next day for brunch—also really enjoyable but night time is just a whole nother vibe, def will be back at night. And if you’re feeling overstimulated or literally just over it but you don’t wanna go home yet either, just head inside for a different more quiet lowkey chill vibe.
Servers and bar tenders are awesome! Also very clean establishment.
Food is delish. And great portions and prices in my opinion.
AND THEY HAVE MOCKTAILS! Yay me!

If you’re visiting Cocoa Beach and searching for an unforgettable cocktail experience, The Alibi is an absolute gem that deserves a top spot on your list. We stopped by during happy hour and were blown away—not just by the food and drinks, but by the incredible service from Summer and her team. From the moment we walked in, we felt like VIPs.
Let’s start with the happy hour: outstanding value, fantastic energy, and top-notch drink selections. The cocktails here are truly something special—artfully crafted, well-balanced, and bursting with flavor. Whether you’re into classics or adventurous seasonal mixes, The Alibi delivers some of the best cocktails in Cocoa Beach hands down.
We also ordered the spring rolls and smoked fish dip to snack on, and both were phenomenal. The spring rolls were perfectly crisp and fresh, while the fish dip had a rich, smoky flavor that paired beautifully with the cocktails. It’s clear the kitchen takes pride in every dish they send out.
What truly made the night memorable, though, was the service. Summer and the entire staff were attentive, friendly, and thoughtful throughout the evening. Their attention to detail and genuine hospitality elevated our entire experience.
Whether you’re a local or just vacationing in Cocoa Beach, The Alibi is a must-visit. From expertly mixed cocktails and mouthwatering appetizers to a vibrant happy hour and exceptional customer service, this cocktail bar hits every mark. We can’t wait to return!
10/10. Cute local late night eats and drinks spot but the drinks! They are open til like 1-2am, kitchen closes at 11 I believe. The drinks are MIXOLOGY style so not your typical rum and coke. They mix so many unique ingredients, the drinks alone will have you coming back. Service was incredible. We had two beautiful young ladies checking on us all night. The decor is gorgeous, intimate, reminds you of a 1930s speakeasy. Totally photo worthy! Free parking just a walk away in a parking deck as there is limited parking outside the restaurant.
Great atmosphere. Very unique and tasty cocktails. Wife says very romantic place. Fun to try different small plates. Food was good, watch out for the Chipotle Shrimp they are very spicy!
Delicious food and supreme service with a comfortable and fun atmosphere. The Chicken Satay with peanut sauce is to die for BTW. Check out the DJ in back or smooze in the lounge. Lovely place!
This is a MUST if you live in Brevard Co. This is not a bar, it's an experience!
The staff are Mix-ologists, not bar tenders.
Drinks - off the charts. Fun and adventurous.
Mussels - 10/10
Chicken lettuce wraps - 10/10

Entertainment- lots of live music and if you dare, a Burlesque show every other month. I recommend getting bar seating for the shows.
Enjoy. The Alibi is now my #1 pick in Brevard Co.!
Such a fun vibe inside an out. Amazing cocktails and great food!! One of our favorite places to go!
Excellent drinks and atmosphere. The service was great! It was Summer and Ema (I think) and there was another woman with a cool mullet behind the bar. Feeling the #womanpower! Good vibes and good drinks. We’ll be back!

** Chocolate Cake Slice**
It's absolutely perfect. 6 bucks huge slice !!! The girl who was working so polite and friendly. Exactly how I expected a little beach bakery to be. I also got a CC cookie. I haven't tried it yet. But if it's like that slice, I won't regret it. Grab a slice of cake and enjoy it with someone. You don't regret the 6 dollars

This bakery is SO cute and their treats are to die for! The strawberry cheesecake poptarts are incredible, and my daughter ate her mini cheesecake AND mine! The decor and other misc. items they sell are so cute as well! This is our favorite place to visit whenever we’re in the area - don’t miss it!
I called them wanting a McLaren racing themed birthday cake! I sent in some inspiration and how I wanted the numbers and it could not have came out any better! Truly beyond my hopes! They knocked it out of the park! Not only did it look absolutely beautiful! It tasted even better! I will absolutely be doing all my birthday cakes here! Not only do they do amazing birthday cakes, when I used to work super close I would stop on daily for a basic beach latte most shifts and occasionally get a little sweet treat which was always amazing! I love what they do and the vibe in there has always been amazing, it’s cute and it also acts as a spot to buy art from local artists which is so neat! Also to add the service has always been amazing any time I’ve gone in there! I would absolutely recommend it next time you need a custom cake! Or you even if you want a great coffee and a cookie! Stop here! They are top notch!

We ordered these rocket themed retirement cupcakes from Junk Food Bakery and they absolutely nailed it.
The design was perfect for our Space Force send off with amazing detail and personality. The frosting was smooth and flavorful and the cupcakes were fresh, moist, and perfectly baked. Everyone at the event loved them and commented on the creative rocket and moon design.
Highly recommend Junk Food Bakery for any themed celebration. They truly bring your vision to life. 🚀🧁🌙
We heard that this place had delicious food. We stopped and got some donuts. We got a Boston, key lime, and a raspberry one. These were some of the best donuts we have ever had. 10/10 would recommend. 💯
Their cupcakes are the best! My favorite is the strawberry one—it even has edible glitter, which makes it extra special. The ones with sprinkles are really yummy too. Definitely a go-to spot when you’re craving a sweet treat!
GUYS THIS PLACE IS AMAZING. My family got me a cake for my 21 and it was not only GORGEOUS but it tasted amazing!! They also put an ice (the bev) in it and it was hilarious!!! 10000x recommend
Junk Food Bakery is hands down the best in Cocoa Beach if you need a sweet treat or something for a special occasion. They offer such a variety of baked goods that it’s almost hard to choose what to have every time I visit. The atmosphere is unique and unlike any bakery in town. With the colorful murals and unique pieces of art for sale, it is truly a one of a kind spot. The owners and staff are extremely attentive and make each visit delightful. I highly recommend this bakery and honestly won’t go anywhere else when I have a sweet craving. 10/10

Nestled along Florida's stunning Space Coast, the iconic Cocoa Beach Pier is a must-visit destination that extends 800 feet into the Atlantic Ocean. This historic landmark boasts an array of vibrant restaurants, lively bars, charming gift shops, and regular live music performances that create a festive atmosphere. Visitors can enjoy beach rentals and fresh water showers while taking advantage of regulation beach volleyball courts and year-round lifeguard services.
We stopped by the Cocoa Beach Pier early in the afternoon while exploring the area and were pleasantly surprised. The pier itself is fantastic, a vibrant mix of eateries, shops, and great ocean views, all right on the beautiful, pristine beach. The beach atmosphere was relaxed and inviting, perfect for a stroll or simply soaking in the coastal vibe.
We were able to park right out front, which was convenient, though it cost $20. We didn’t really look for other parking options, but the ease of access made it worth it for us.
Overall, it's a great spot to take in the scenery, grab a bite, and enjoy a classic Florida beach experience!

Nice clean beach with lots of shells 🐚
$20 parking. Parking lot is very close to the actual beach and there aren’t any stairs to the beach which makes it easy to bring a beach wagon. They have 2 volley ball courts. Multiple bathrooms. Chairs and umbrellas available to rent.
We recently got into cruising and our trip to cocoa beach pier was absolutely awesome there was a waiter named Harvey. I was really thankful for his service I was so impressed with him that he got me my coconut drink for me that I have been wanting everywhere we have been. My only regret is getting him to sign my coconut so I named him HARVEY after him. Wonderful experience He was really great deserving of a raise. It’s a place I would love to visit again. So Harvey you’re awesome thank you so much…from Tennessee
My wife and I stopped here late in the morning of August 15, 2025 while on a camping trip to Jetty Park a few miles to the north of it. We tried to go in the morning after breakfast, but the parking lot was closed and the attendant told us it opened at 11:00, but it was going to cost us $15 to park. I wasn't real happy about that, but we came back after checking out nearby Ron Jon Surf Shop for a few hours. It appears the Westgate Mall company bought out the pier a few years ago and has done a good job of cleaning it up and renovating it. There are several restaurants along the pier now and we dined at the giant Tiki Bar way out on the end of it. You can also rent beach chairs and umbrellas on the beach. Overall, in spite of the expensive parking fee, this is definitely a nice place to go if you are visiting Cocoa Beach.
I bought so much clothing from one of those shops! The word Threads was in it, I don't remember. I bought all my souvenirs there, clothing, jewelry. I ate at Pier 52, it was awesome!! I had the Gator Melt.
Cocoa Beach Pier is the spot to be—lively, full of energy, and with amazing waves, especially on the right side of the pier. Spent a month here and loved every minute. Great surf, ocean views, and a vibrant atmosphere make it unforgettable for locals and visitors alike.
Beach is clean. Expect crowds. We took our beach blanket and stuff but there are chairs and umbrella rentals in the beach. Thing is all those close at 5pm, then they collect them back. There were washrooms, we were able to change clothes in them. Enough space for that but not too clean. There were showers to wash off sand. Also there were gift shops and restaurants. We were able to buy some beers and food. Don’t forget to take your ID for that. 1 beer for 1 ID. Other than sunbathing saw people surfing, playing volleyball as well.
Excellently well maintained, there are ice cream shops, souvenirs stores, a restaurant , restrooms and some space to walk and admire the ocean and the beach and the surfers. Really refreshing to go up there 100% recommended . It’s Free. Opens with good weather because if there is a bit of bad weather it will be closed for safety.

Squid Lips is a laid-back waterfront eatery located in south Cocoa Beach, offering a diverse menu filled with beach favorites and stunning panoramic views of the Banana River. The restaurant's treehouse-style deck, built around palm trees, provides an open-air dining experience perfect for enjoying the river scenery and catching beautiful sunsets. From bacon-wrapped scallops to smoked fish dip, Squid Lips serves up uniquely prepared seafood dishes that are sure to satisfy your cravings.
This is a must-visit place for its location and fresh seafood. The sunset is amazing from the outdoor seating at the restaurant. The best part is that they have a pier you can wait at before or after you dine. The outdoor seating is spacious and decor is very nice. Service was good and the food was as well. We ordered seafood lasagna and it was delicious. Stuffed flounder was ok, it would have been better with a lemony sauce..

The place has a nice view and a great ambiance, which we really enjoyed. The food looked promising - especially the burger and house-made potato chips, which were quite good. However, the Thai poke bowl didn’t meet expectations. Unfortunately, the service wasn’t very friendly either, which affected the overall experience.
A return visit did not disappoint! The setting is at the waterfront and we experience an amazing sunset!! That alone was worth the visit. However, we had a wonderful meal with friends. We ordered a “boatload” of oysters and enjoyed them. Lauren waited on us and she was wonderful. Oh yea…the margaritas were really good too! Thanks for a great night out. Until next time…
My mom was a server at the Lobster shanty from 1992 until it closed in 2015. While it was hard for them to care for such an old building, they still did. It’s sad to see how squid lips has allowed such an iconic location to fall in to such disrepair. The main lobby area smells like mold, the former downstairs bar is likely the culprit of that. The former “pelican room” is now an indoor/but also outdoor bar and dining area. The zipper windows make it hard to enjoy the great view of this location, as they are fuzzy. They should have left it well enough alone. Now, to the service. We had an excellent server, and was very accommodating. The food was fair, it’s silly a fish dip comes with delicate wrapped crackers instead of chips or pita bread. The crab cake burger was spectacular, though slightly overcooked. Overall a good dining experience, but the condition of the restaurant is unfortunate. I can’t imagine it’ll survive the next storm.
Squid Lips is the perfect blend of beachside charm and Florida character. The outdoor patio sits right on the Intracoastal, offering incredible views, warm breezes, and plenty of local wildlife—some of which get a little too friendly, so keep an eye on your plate! The setting alone makes it worth the visit, but the food seals the deal.
Everything we had tasted fresh and thoughtfully prepared, with a nice balance of beach, Southern, and Caribbean influences. The oak-fired grill gives many of the dishes a smoky depth that really sets them apart from typical coastal fare.
Drinks were well mixed and refreshing, though they lean a little light on the pour. Easy fix—order a double and settle in to watch the sunset. Between the view, the atmosphere, and the food, Squid Lips delivers that laid-back coastal experience you come to Cocoa Beach hoping to find.
I have an overall rating of three because of the moldy smell (I know that's what happens by the water), but a five star rating on all the other options. My server was top notch, friendly and attentive, great sever. The food came out fast, actually to fast between the appetizer and main meal.
I was not expecting much from the front of the building and the musty/mold smell as you walk up to the front door. That same smell was overpowering once I entered the building. I am very sensitive to mold/musty smells; if I had to sit inside I would have left. I was offered a seat outside and it didn't disappoint. Great laid back dining area and bar. Perfect weather, gorgeous sunset, smooth water.
I had the fish dip which I loved, I could have made it a meal. I love that they offer, diced onions, tomatoes and jalapenos on the side as mixins. I ordered the mountain of shrimp I really enjoyed it. I just wish they would offer a special half shrimp and fish since the special is a double portion for the shrimp and the fish dishes..
Don't forget to go to the edge of the deck look down into the water and you will see the fish waiting for someone to feed them. Those fish were huge!
Love this Squid Lips location overlooking the Indian River. The ambiance and decor creates a relaxing atmosphere. The food was delicious and our server Emily was very attentive and just awesome!
thanks to our server, Lauren B. She was incredibly polite, friendly, and had such a sweet personality that made our visit even better. She took great care of us the entire time. We’ll definitely be coming back.

Everything was delicious! The waitress was very knowledgeable about their fish of the day and how they tasted. Our food was fresh and cooked perfectly. Even the kids enjoyed their fish!
The kabobs were flavorful and cooked perfectly. The beans had great flavor. Their taters had a nice light spice to them and weren’t overly seasoned. The shrimp Cuban was extremely flavorful! The birds got really close while eating outside but never tried to snatch our food from us. It was so fun watching the fishermen bring in their catches of the day. They were kind and let the kids watch them clean their fish and my kids enjoyed getting to help. The atmosphere is very family friendly and super inviting.

We went the night before our cruise for dinner with about 40 folks. Thankfully they were able to accommodate us after waiting for an hour. Very nice location with some good views. Bit pricey , Nice menu and drinks options . Food arrived fast. Overall a great experience.
Visited Grills tonight before our cruise sail tomorrow. From the research and planning, several folks recommend this place for food and drinks.
We certainly weren’t disappointed! I tried the shrimp Cuban (added bacon and banana pepper- house favorite) and wife got the coconut shrimp. Food was very fresh and I thoroughly enjoyed my sandwich.
I also indulged in the Grills margarita which was great. Overall a great dinner, quick service and good food.
Thanks Grills team!
My wife and I dined here on August 15, 2025 and it was a nice evening. Food was fresh and delicious, atmosphere pleasant, wait staff friendly and prompt. Very cool atmosphere here with lots of deck seating outside, as well as both and inside and outside tiki bar. Very popular with locals. Excellent place to watch the cruise ships go in and out of port while you are dining. We also got to watch Space X recover one of it's boosters off the barge and crane it onto the pier for its next mission. Highly recommend this restaurant over the other three waterfront dining options located just to the west of it.
Grills Seafood in Port Canaveral delivers a dining experience that truly stands out, even in an area full of great coastal restaurants. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with warm, wonderful service that makes you feel welcome and well taken care of. The staff here clearly takes pride in what they do, offering friendly attention without ever feeling rushed or intrusive.
Now let’s talk about the food—because it deserves every bit of praise. I had what was easily the best piece of fish I’ve ever had in my life. Fresh, flaky, and cooked to absolute perfection, it was the kind of dish that stops you in your tracks after the first bite. Everything on the plate was perfectly seasoned, even the vegetables, which is something many restaurants overlook. At Grills Seafood, every detail counts, and it shows.
One standout worth mentioning is the shark kabob—a unique and flavorful option that’s definitely worth a try if you're feeling adventurous. It was tender, lightly seasoned, and delicious in a way that surprises and delights.
My biggest recommendation for anyone visiting for the first time? Try the fish of the day. With seafood this fresh and skillfully prepared, you really can’t go wrong. Grills Seafood knows how to showcase the best of what Florida waters have to offer, making each visit memorable and satisfying. If you're anywhere near Port Canaveral, this spot is an absolute must.
Alway’s a great meal and a good time. This is the second time visiting this restaurant. We actually exited 95 to come here rather than eat poor expressway food. The Cobia and Mahi were awesome. The smoked fish dip was good too.
We went to Grills after we got off our cruise ship. Nice outdoor area. Good views. Good food. Prices were reasonable as well. I had a BLT sandwich with an egg on it. My husband had a breakfast sandwich on an English muffin. Our server was super friendly. Also ran into 2 crew members from our cruise ship.
Fun atmosphere with tasty drinks and great views right next to the cruise terminal. Open early for those arriving off the cruise ships or waiting to board. Staff is friendly. We did not eat, but others meals looked fabulous. Nice deck area to watch the local boats come in and out.

We came here to Cocoa Beach to stay for 5 days. We ate at many restaurants while we were here, and this one has been by far the best. Our group of 4 people walked in without really knowing this was a "fancy" restaurant. I was very surprised. It was my first time eating at a place like that! I was very confused on what was happening and what to do, but the waiter was extremely kind and told us everything about the restaurant and how stuff works and the menu. He was very helpful and kind to us. We ordered our food and I was excited to try it. I had ordered the Baked Ravioli. While we were waiting, he walked up to the table with some toys, that I assume he bought, and told my brother and sister they could have one! He had toys like sand and a pair of goggles that he was giving away. They both gladly accepted and they had so much fun. My sister got a white board and my sister and brother both played tic tac toe on it. The waiter had noticed that and came back with a small little tic tac toe toy for us to keep! This was the best service I've ever seen. He is a very kind person and I thank you very much, Peter :D
I am 14 years old and I've made my goal in life to help those in need and to always be kind. He has inspired me even more to be kind like that. Thank you very much
The food was very tasty and I enjoyed my Baked Ravioli very very much. I also like the bread that came with our food!
Overall this restaurant is amazing and perfect. Kid friendly for sure and the service is amazing. I recommend this to anyone who is looking for a great Italian meal and an amazing time.

The food was so good we couldn't take pictures before we dug in! The lobster bisque, the chicken parm, the ravioli, and oh my gosh the tiramisu! I couldn't stop eating the fried calamari. Place is beautiful and the wait staff was extremely friendly. Can't wait to come back, I hear the pizza is fantastic too.
We took advantage of the Kids Eat Free on Tuesday offer!. Really nice ambiance in the outdoor patio and service was really good!. All the different pasta plates we tried were really good! Highly recommended if you are visiting Cocoa Beach.
Thanks, Claire! You are amazing 💕 We were very happy to dine here! Everything was great, both the service and the food! The pizza was especially delicious, as was the seafood! We had a lot of fun!
On vacation for my 21st birthday and my group decided Brano’s would be a nice place to enjoy a dinner together. The food was delicious (we highly recommend the arancini) and the staff were beyond friendly. Edward was very kind and took pictures of our group, as well as surprising me with a special insert on their sign out front (see pictures below). I wish I could remember our waitress’s name because she was great also! It was a bit toasty outside, but their patio was covered and had plenty of fans, making it bearable. If you’re looking for a great dinner spot near the beach, here’s your spot!
We went here on a whim to celebrate my husband's birthday 🎂 and I'm so glad we did. The service and the food was Outstanding. I had the chicken Gorgonzola and it was to die for my husband had the chicken parmesan also good and very tender. I also had the Buffalo mozzarella Capri salad out of this world with balsamic vinegar glaze. Come here and they have a beautiful atmosphere inside and outside on the patio just absolutely splendid this is good for everyone if you love Italian food that is authentic and not a cookie cutter. Thank you branos for making my husband's birthday very special!
Had a great dinner at Brano’s! The food was delicious, and the service was friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive. We sat outside to enjoy the beautiful weather—such good vibes all around. Would definitely come back to try more of their dishes!
Ordered a LG pizza carry out and asked for it to be well, well done extra crispy. Flopped so much the toppings were falling off. Terrible undercarriage. Then the taste, not so good, either. Didn't give it a 1 star because the food the people had on the patio actually looked pretty good, but our pizza was a 1. Honestly, I'd go to try their other food, but absolutely never again on their pizza for $34.

It was my second time at this restaurant and they just recently added a whole special menu consisting of shark! Shark sandwiches, shark tacos, shark bites, shark pizza, etc. I tried the shark sandwich and it was so amazing. Apparently I was the first person to order it, that’s how new the menu was! Thank you to our amazing Shannon, all our food was delicious and hot and brought to us in a timely manner. You’re amazing!
I’m mad about the tank. I only came bc of the tank. However our server Teresa was the highlight of my experience. The food was amazing as well. It was soooo delicious. I got the BBQ Glaze Burger and I tried gator for the first time and it was great. Thank you again Teresa for your hard work you are what made my experience!
Everything was delicious, and our waiter Shannon was amazing, the only reason why the atmosphere got a four was because there was one drunk guy that eventually left half way through playing loud music. Which the employees got him out. On another note this restaurant has no business being part of the hotel, I think having its own location would do it an invaluable justice for franchise. Fried pickles were amazing and I hate pickles! Key lime pie was delicious.
Teresa was wonderful to talk to and very attentive/friendly! I had the burger and my husband enjoyed the swordfish. Van even gave us a a taste of grilled and fried shark that he was workshopping for future menu items, look out for that! They have an amazing deal on Wednesdays for wings and the buffalo flavor was wonderful. The only thing I could say is I wish the fries and potato’s were a bit crispier, but that is just personal preference!
We had such a wonderful experience thanks to our server, Shannon. From the moment we were seated, she was very attentive, friendly, and made us feel completely welcome. She recommended the Philly Cheesesteak, which was amazing!
The food came out perfectly timed, and her positive attitude really added to the evening. It’s rare to find someone who balances professionalism with genuine warmth so effortlessly. We’ll definitely be back—and will be asking for Shannon next time.
We had a great lunch at the Shark Pit Bar & Grill in Cocoa Beach. Our server, Richard, was very friendly and attentive. He did not rush us, but he consistently checked to see if we needed anything else. Also, my husband and I both had Philly Cheesesteaks with fries. The sandwich was very tasty, and the fries were hot and crispy. We also had their Special Sauce on the side, which had just enough tang and added a nice touch to the sandwich. We thoroughly enjoyed our lunch and will stop in again before we head back home on the Gulf side of the state. Shout out to Richard for making our experience a pleasant one. 👍
Talk about TOP NOTCH service!! We came in 30 minutes before close hoping to quick get some food to go before the kitchen closed. Most bartenders would grumble and say the kitchen is closed but Shannon was amazing and got us menus right away so we were able to quickly order some food. This was our first time here as we are staying across the street, but will definitely be back! Again, thank you Shannon (and kitchen staff) for helping us solve our hunger! :)

I had a party of seven and we chose to sit outside. I’m so glad we did. The weather was so nice and the view was phenomenal. The food though really blew us away. We ordered the Florida gator burger, the fried shrimp, the shrimp tacos, and the chowder fries. 10/10 delicious. The portions are a little small but the taste and quality more than make up for that. As this place is located on the pier you can take a long walk on the beach afterwards. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in Cocoa Beach.

Food came out lightning fast, everything was delicious. I had the Nashville hot chicken sandwich, my wife had the blackened fish taco, we also had the smoke fish dip appetizer. It was all delicious. Our server was great, no complaints. Definitely recommend. And we're Jamaicans so we have a taste for flavorful food. So you can trust our pallets.
We stopped by Pier 62 for lunch and couldn't have picked a better spot. Located right at the end of the pier, the restaurant offers stunning panoramic views of Cocoa Beach all the way to the cruise terminal. Despite a bit of wind and overcast skies (typical Florida weather!), the experience was still fantastic.
Our server greeted us promptly and provided excellent service throughout. We each had a beer and shared the turkey on rye sandwich, which was absolutely delicious. It came with their signature fries, and the portion was more than enough for two people.
No complaints at all, great food, friendly service, and unbeatable views. If I find myself back in Cocoa Beach, I’ll definitely return for another relaxing lunch.
We went to the pier to check it out and see what they had to offer. Beautiful sights, plenty of seating outside to watch the water and surfers. We enjoyed the sunshine and the pier. 20.00 for public parking, and they allow no outside drinks once you are on the pier. We were asked to throw away our waters even. However, the drinks at the bar were delicious, the orange cake was a perfect treat. The servers were all super friendly as well.
Oh my cocoa beach ⛱️ pier!!! Family member, whom lives in Orlando took me there for visit ans lunch!
Nice little quaint family-friendly beach in Orlando that has a restaurant on site with a pier where you can eat 🍸 and enjoy the ocean breezes, see the families enjoying the beach together!!
Had a hard time deciding what to eat, finally chose Gator burger 🍔 , coleslaw slaw, she had fish tacos 🌮, slaw!
We both enjoyed.
Be prepared for parking, all day $15 or pay by hour, which is $6/hr.
Nice experience!!
The food was ok but for a not too busy restaurant we saw our server twice. I asked for unsweetened tea and was brought sweetened. And NO Corona Beer....not good....
Ran into the pier when a sudden rainstorm hit, and had some delicious drinks and fries while we waited for the rain to pass. The bartender was friendly, and the service was fast. I highly recommend the chowder fries. I admit I was a bit skeptical, but they were amazing
Had an extraordinary time the view is beautiful absolutely great service absolutely great food very fresh in the environment is very scenic. The staff didn’t rush us to leave. They treated us like family and I tipped them very nice. It was a wonderful experience. I’ll be back. Highly recommend.

If you’re looking for a dockside restaurant, please do yourself a favor and come to this one. The food was phenomenal - just the right amount of seasoning, and you could definitely taste the freshness of the ingredients. Oysters were absolutely massive, the clam chowder was some of the best I’ve had, and you can’t go wrong with their fish tacos.

Average, overpriced on-water dining experience. Only seating is outside. Food was meh…shrimp tacos were flavorless with shrimp that were unbelievably tiny:(. Two $18 tacos should at least come with a decent side and not just gas-station nacho chips and plain salsa from a jar. Coleslaw was flavorless & Coke Zero was flat. Would not go back.
What a perfect spot! Not only was our lunch delicious but, all the staff are were friendly and made sure our experience was exceptional. The seafood was so fresh. Shrimp taco’s were yummy! The views are great! Stop here before your cruise.
Seafood Atlantic is a longstanding establishment that doubles as a fish market and prepared food destination. The restaurant exudes a well-worn, comfortable atmosphere that extends to its friendly staff, creating a welcoming environment for diners.
The outdoor seating area embraces simplicity with its picnic-style setup and plastic tube chairs. While this casual approach has its charm, it may not appeal to everyone seeking a more refined dining experience. The menu, showing signs of heavy use with some items becoming difficult to read, speaks to the restaurant's long history in the community.
Where Seafood Atlantic truly shines is in the quality of its seafood. The fish is exceptionally fresh, and the establishment takes pride in offering only non-fried preparations. This commitment to quality ingredients is evident in every dish.
However, the value proposition is somewhat complicated. While the food itself is good, the picnic-style service and basic amenities somewhat diminish the overall experience. Nearby competitors with more typical restaurant atmospheres and longer wait times may offer a more polished dining experience.
Seafood Atlantic occupies an interesting niche—it's unpretentious and focuses on quality seafood, but lacks the ambiance and refinement found at other local establishments. Whether you'll want to return depends on what you prioritize: if fresh, prepared seafood in a no-frills setting appeals to you, this could be your spot. For those seeking a more elevated dining experience, there are other options worth exploring first.

Great location right in the harbor, with beautiful views of the water. The oysters and shrimp were absolutely top-notch – fresh and flavorful. The clam chowder was outstanding, rich and perfectly seasoned. Friendly and polite staff made the whole experience even better. Highly recommend for seafood lovers!
Neat little place with fresh seafood that isn't fried. We had the blackened grouper and crab cakes. Fish was so flaky and fresh tasting not fishy at all! The crab cakes were okay. The service was great.
We had a wonderful lunch with an amazing server, Virginia. She was so personable, answered all our questions and went out of her way to make our experience great. For our starters, I did the NE clam chowder (best I've had in years) and my husband did raw oysters, both excellent. Even though all their fish looked great I went with a chicken sandwich (due to eating a lot of seafood/fish before our visit this week, just wanted something different) but my husband ordered the scallop dinner. Both were excellent. Everyone working there from the host to the other servers and even the chef were so nice and made for a perfect afternoon. Excellent food, service, location with very fair prices. Can't wait to go back! I will be getting all seafood I can eat!
We've been looking for a place to buy fresh - WILD - seafood and it was right under our noses the whole 3 years. This place is terrific. It smells fresh, not like strong cleaner OR old fish. It's spotless. The ladies working here were super-nice. We got salmon and 2 crab cakes. Both were DELICIOUS!!
The prices were fair and the quality is SO MUCH BETTER than publix farm-raised stuff. The patio is really cute and everyone who was dining seemed happy. I tried not to stare, but all their food looked amazing.
I'm so happy we finally found a good place to get fresh seafood.
ps - Ignore Chrystal's negative review. She doesn't have anything nice to say about any single place she's been to. Maybe she should just stay home.

I'm a HUGE ice cream fiend and I must say, this is one of my favorite ice cream shops I've ever been to! The ice cream is so smooth and creamy- you can tell it's very high-quality. The prices are really fair too- about $5-6 for the 2 scoops. You have to come here!

I won’t be back. I ordered a jack smasher with cheesecake and didn’t even get ice cream. I went up and showed them and they proceeded to argue with me. Instead of just giving me ice cream or literally apologizing, they proceeded to not even say anything and disagree. I just threw it away after arguing after a few minutes with the three girls in the shop. Just ridiculous honestly. I went on 10/25/25 at 7:20p. Truly upsetting.
Yummy ice cream and super fun atmosphere. Good prices and fast lines with friendly service. I loved my cookie dough and my friend loved her gluten free chocolate chip cookie.
Taylor was so sweet and was very quick with her service. The ice cream is delicious and fun. Love the options. I got the stellar coffee ice cream and my husband the Baja chocolate marshmallow ice cream. Also appreciate the nondairy options.
I got a cookies n cream brownie with cake batter ice cream. The brownie came HOT! Great flavor and many ice cream menu options. Only outdoor seating including benches. Would visit again. 🍨
Having been to Denver and other places with big ice cream culture, the ice cream here is pretty good for a non-artisanal, mass produced product. Definitely the best in the area. I wish they would stock more flavors without tons of pieces in every one, but that’s ok. It’s still very good. See “The Ice Cream Club” on Google.
I will mention the service - The shop was pretty busy and Laci (sp?) was in her own, hustling back and forth and took great care of everyone and was sweeter than the chocolate ice cream! Thank you for the great service!
Taylor was amazing kind and generous and helping me decide exactly what to get. The ice cream is good.
Biggest single scoops ever!
Ice cream flavors were amazing.
Milkshake was perfect for after the beach.

Our favorite waiter is chip he is the best he greets us by name and with a smile always . We have also never had an issue with getting napkins 😁❤️Always fresh food and high quality, you can’t go wrong with anything on the menu! Highly recommend this place.

Sushi has always been one of my favorite meals, so when I saw a place right here in Cape Canaveral, I had to try it. The sushi was incredibly fresh and well-prepared. I ordered a few different rolls and each one was excellent—the fish was clearly high-quality, and the rice was perfectly seasoned. The service was friendly and attentive, which always makes for a great dining experience.
My only minor critique would be the lighting. While the atmosphere was nice, a more yellowish, warmer light would really make the space feel even cozier and more inviting. It would be a small change that would make a big difference in creating a more relaxed and comfortable vibe for diners. Overall, though, it's a fantastic spot for sushi, and I'll definitely be back.
Great spot for sushi & Thai food. The sushi is fresh and they make the rolls in front of you at the bar. The chefs are Thai, so the dishes are authentic tasting.
We got Pad Sa ew, very flavorful.
The sushi we choose was delicious.
I didn't love the beef noodle soup.
Overall, very clean restaurant. Employees provided excellent customer service.
From the Japanese dishes to the Thai dishes, the food here was great. My daughter had the lobster pad Thai and my son had the duck pad Thai and I’m not a big fan of duck, but oh gosh both were so good and delicious. The Papaya salad was really good too. One of, if not THE best Thai style I ever had. My youngest son got the steak, chicken, shrimp teriyaki, and it was delicious too. I put this place on the top of my list for Florida/Cape Canaveral Asian restaurants to eat at. If you’re in town and looking for good Asian food then don’t skip out on this place. We were too hungry so I didn’t get much photos of our food but the atmosphere and the service also is top notch.
Walked here from the home 2 suites I was staying at. The food was okay and the boba tea was the first tea version of boba I’ve ever had. It was okay just not a big fan of it. The service was good and the staff were attentive. Can’t help but notice how stingy they are with napkins. They give you one at a time which is extreme.
Authentic thai taste. Always looking for that authentic thai green tea I missed, they have it! Nice ambiance, organized and great service! We were visiting and it looked ok outside and didn't expect it to be busy inside. No wonder it's popular!
We had so much fun celebrating my friend’s birthday! The chicken pad Thai was a classic and the won ton soup is a must!
My chicken Thai fried rice was full of delicious flavor, and the rice was perfectly cooked and moist. The others in my group loved their meals also.

Super friendly, locals place. Lots of bar seating and high and low top tables. Food is excellent and lots of beer and alcohol selection. The cauliflower wings were excellent. Lots of vegan choices, but we went with meat!!! Lots of meat! My son had the Exotic half pound burger that was Bison. I guess they rotate that meat voice. I had the French dip which was no Kidding actual roast beef sliced thin. Real meat not a pressed loaf! My bride had dynamite grilled chicken sandwich and it was also quite tasty. The local beer was also great. George was our server, but suspect he was a manager; slow Sunday night and I think he cut staff back which is nice, especially since slow nights are when service and food tend to drop in most places, but not here! Everything was awesome and food was professional. Would recommend!

First off, let me start out with the music selection in this facility was fantastic 80s music at a real low volume so I can actually talk to the person across from me two thumbs up for that second Elizabeth was a great waitress, extremely friendly and very knowledgeable . The open face turkey sandwich was really really good a bit peppery for my taste, but it was still really really good.. you got our business again, pal
Far passed my expectations, Ben was my server he was very attentive. I got the basic cheeseburger and fries and my daughter got the chicken fingers and fries. Absolutely amazing 🤩 I can’t say enough good about this place. I’ve lived in brevard 30 years and this place is a new favorite place!
After a long day of traveling from the tri-state area (MD, DE, PA) this was near the hotel we were staying prior to a cruise.
A party of 5 adults and 2 children.
Our server was what appeared to be 1 of 2, who was bartending, hosting and serving was absolutely amazing. Perfectly attentive in all the right ways.
Fed the kids fast, interacted with us, checked in with us at the right times, cleared the table efficiently and drinks were refreshed at appropriate time frames.
It's a shame I didn't catch his name, I'm usually good about their names. If management shares this review, we were there Thursday 9/18/2025 and sat in the corner booth closest to the window around maybe 6-7pm. Maybe he'll remember us.
Everyone (even the kids) loved their food.
The spinach crab dip was gone in seconds.
I got the osso buco and it was amazing. Bone pulled out with no issue, the meat was so tender.
If you're traveling and looking for a great food location, go here!
Cool place with an eclectic vibe. Beachy and traditional with lots of beer options.
We started with 2 apps - the shrimp was awesome and the perogies were good. Ate so fast I forgot to snap photos lol.
We had a great server. Food was good. Big sandwiches with good flavor. Chicken parm could have used more red sauce but it was fine.
Super hot temp which is always appreciated.
Hot Wings are big, fresh and very flavorful. The hot garlic and extra hot both were great. Meatloaf delicious, mashed potatoes fresh. Cheeseburger was awesome, fresh ground beef and honey/cream cheese spread very tasty, fries also good. Everything fresh, homemade and delicious. Definitely be returning. Sorry can’t remember waitress name but she was awesome, very friendly and excellent service. Great beer selection also.
This was our first time here after passing it several times. The food was very good and fresh and the service was great. It is a mixture of beach vibe, sports bar homestyle cooking.
We started with the fried green tomatoes. These were very fresh and hot, had a good flavor and dipping sauce.
My wife had the prime rib special and it was very good. She orders it medium but that’s her problem. I enjoyed the open face turkey and mash potatoes on garlic bread. There was so much food and it was so good I made myself miserable.
We will definitely be back. There is something for everybody at this little gem.
Good food, clean place and friendly service. Definitely check them out .
Will be back to try their new brunch menu

Gator's Portside Port Canaveral is a great spot to grab a meal before or after your cruise. The menu offers a variety of options at reasonable prices, making it a pleasant surprise for such a touristy area. The shrimp platter and wings are particularly delicious, and the pineapple slaw is highly recommended. While the food leans towards fried or frozen options, it's in line with expectations for this type of establishment.
This location is awesome with a great view. We came on a Saturday night with live music and a great vibe. The food wasn’t anything to brag about, but it wasn’t bad. Our waitress was fantastic always there when we needed her, but not up our butts. Like I said earlier the atmosphere here is fantastic. I would definitely recommend stopping here for a meal if you’re in town on vacation or leaving on a cruise.

A great menu makes it hard to choose. We started with the Breaking Bread appetizer, which was tasty. The tomatoes went well with the spinach dip on the bread with balsamic drizzle. Overall, it was a winning appetizer.
My wife had the fish & chips that she said was good, and she is not a big fish fan. The pineappke cole slaw was unique and good. The fries were crispy, and it was a nice touch that cider vinegar was a part of the table setting.
I had the Portside fried chicken sandwich with sweet BBQ sauce. What a delight! I subbed onion petals for French fries, and I am glad it did. The onion petals dipped in horseradish sauce was a keeper.
The cuisine was relaxed and service excellent. The entire place was clean and well-maintained, and the prices were reasonable. The shaded outside eating area allowed us to bring our little dog Luna, who satcquietly and patiently the entire time. We were grateful that the waiter brought water for her without our asking.
This is our new go-to restaurant whenever we visit Port Canaveral. You would really have to work to find anything to complain about.
Had a great meal with the family at a decent price. The staff was great and very helpful. It was a trivia/family feud game Thursday, so the music was a little loud. We are outside and it's an amazing property...perfect view of the port terminals where the SpaceX, Blue Origin, and other rockets come through. Went in the evening so it was a nice breeze to enjoy a summer night. Everyone enjoyed the food and portions were good sized. Kids meals kept the kids happy.
My wife and I dined here on August 14, 2005 while camping at nearby Jetty Park Campground. This restaurant used to have a different name, and used to be quite busy and crowded, but this night, it was almost vacant, and that maybe should have been an indicator to us before we asked for a table out on the deck. We were one of only three couples dining here that night (a Thursday). We were seated right away, but then it took about five minutes for our server to show up and take our drink order. Seemed a little odd, but maybe they sent all of the other staff home. I ordered Fish and Chips and my wife had the Hawaiian Chicken dinner. Took about 15 minutes to get those delivered to our table. Food was just average. Service a little slow. About the only thing this place has going for it now are the nice outdoor tables that sit directly on the water and directly across the port from the Space X recovery facility where the offshore barges that the boosters land on are brought back and craned off for re-use. We sat right across from that and watched an evolution. Other than that, all of the other three restaurants to the east of Gators are a much better experience, and we tried all three.
Our large-ish (8) group picked Gator's Portsode this week. This is a nice restaurant with a lot of TVs for watching sports. It has a nice bar area and plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Our server, Kelly, was great. Most of us likes outlr dishes but the fries pickles tasted fishy so maybe old oil in the fryer. The seared tuna was rare in the center but was really hard seared on the edges. The Cobb salad was good as was the sticky chicken and chicken sandwich. Nothing spectacular. They did have 2 for 1 Guinness and several BOGO liquors to offer on Wednesday night.
Before you read, I invited you to look at my profile. I almost NEVER leave bad reviews.
I went there with my family after a day at the beach. The service was incredible. The staff was very polite and attentive. I forgot our server's name but she was really nice.
We ordered the gator tail and that was really good! Tasted fresh and hot. Everything else was gross. I ordered the seafood pasta. Please save yourself the trouble. You can tell all the seafood was frozen. My daughter order poutine and that was a huge let down. The cheese was already cold and curded by the time that it got to us. My wife ordered the fish and chips and the fish tasted of pure burnt oil. For dessert we ordered the fried Oreos and to our surprise... The Oreos tasted like burnt oil. $150 later and all we enjoy was some gator tail.
The manager did come and spoke to us and was very apologetic. His name was Trevor I believe. He asked us to give them another chance when we were by the beach and gave us some coupons. I probably won't go back and use them. However, the gesture and the sympathetic tone was very appreciated.
Overall, this restaurant banks on their location. The atmosphere got a four out of five star and so did the service. If I could give the food zero stars I would.
We really enjoy eating here. You can sit outside or by the windows and watch boats, including cruise ships leaving their terminals. The food is always good and service is great.
An alternative to any of the restaurants available on the edge of the causeway. Lots to look at through the big windows and an outside area and bar too. Live music. An American food menu, salads and appetizers. TV's all around to entertain. Get your yummy on....

Fun, flavorful, and full of character!
We’d just arrived at our vacation condo and needed a quick, walkable spot to grab dinner — Cocoa Beach Fish Camp Grill hit the mark perfectly. The place has a fun, laid-back vibe with a wild mix of décor — think gators, sports, and all kinds of quirky treasures on the walls.
We were seated quickly and immediately greeted by a friendly, attentive team who made us feel right at home. They pointed out happy hour and a great deal on the build-your-own mac & cheese — $5 off! Naturally, I couldn’t pass that up.
I started with a Key Lime Martini, and wow — it was excellent. Tart, creamy, and actually had a solid pour of liquor (a welcome change from the usual 1-oz “tastes like juice” pours I’m used to). We shared gator bites, which were better than expected — perfectly fried and super tender, especially with the dipping sauce.
For my entrée, I went with the custom mac & cheese loaded with mushrooms, onions, and fried catfish. Everything came out hot and bubbling — total comfort food heaven. My other half had the grilled mahi-mahi sandwich with crinkle fries and a Patrón margarita that packed a punch in the best way.
Overall, everything from the drinks to the food to the service was spot-on. This place feels casual, fun, and full of good energy — exactly what you want on vacation.
Food was good everything came out nicely, some are packed with flavors some needs a little more seasoning but over all pretty good. Our server was great atmosphere was really nice.
If i can give this a 3.8- 3.9 I would.
Our group of 10 had a nice time enjoying and trying everything.
But man mosquitoes was also killing our ankles lol.
Let me tell you what. We’ve eaten at literally every restaurant in town and we had quite possibly the best service from Alex J our server than any other local spot. Every item on the menu was absolutely perfect. Portions, presentation and fresh! Kids menu is spot on and very affordable as well. If highly recommend dining here. Family friendly and adult friendly late in evening as well. Great bar menu either craft cocktails.
Atmosphere was phenomenal. Server was friendly. We had onion rings and gumbo---very good. Key lime pie was good, but could have been a bit more tart. They did not have Coke Zero, but did have other Coca-Cola products. Overall, a very good experience. Would go back if in the area.
So glad we found this place! The food and service was great. The burgers were big and delicious and the loaded baked sweet potato was huge! The place is full of fun decorations and Monday happens to be karaoke night, with a lot of returning and talented singers! There's also a game room with pool tables. It seems like there are some kind of events going on just about everyday- I'm sure there's a schedule on the website. Also, as guests of a nearby hotel we got 10% off.
Such a fun little restaurant in Cocoa Beach. A full menu with decent prices as a variety of fun drinks. There is plenty of seating for sit down or around the fun decorated boat bar. The staff is friendly and the service was fast. The food was also great. If you are staying at the hotel attached, they have a coupon for a % off. The local guide book also has a coupon that can be used. The fish tacos were amazing!
We live locally, but have never visited. This past weekend, we happened to blow out a tire nearby. We wound up having to wait for AAA long enough that we decided to pivot and have our brunch here at the fish camp where we happened to pull in and I’m so very glad we did! Oh my gosh my husband and I had so much fun! The key lime martini was so good that we asked the bartender to make us whatever she thought would be fun…and it was an amazing fall tasting delight! I’ve never tried fried okra before (why fry a perfectly good veggie?) so I made a wrinkle noise when my hubby ordered it, but I wound up eating all of it! The manager checked on us twice, the waitress was so sweet…everyone made us feel at home! My hubby even enjoyed the music (and he has strong opinions on such things 😊) We had the best time and laughed so loud and the food was amazing! Way to turn a blown tire into a happy accident! We will be back again and again!! 😊

You can't expect much from a $9.95 lunch special. But the staff could still be friendly. If you don't explicitly say lunch special, you get the same dish at a higher price. They tried that three times with their customers while we were sitting next to them (also with us). And you might expect there to be no bacon in the rice when you order a shrimp dish ;-)
We ordered the broccoli chicken and it was the worst I’ve ever had. The chicken was rubbery, the broccoli soggy, and the whole dish had absolutely no flavor. It didn’t even taste like proper Chinese food—just bland, greasy, and disappointing. For the price, I expected at least something decent, but this was a total waste. Definitely not authentic and definitely won’t be back.
Ordered shrimp fried rice. Absolutely positively the worst food I've ever eaten and I spent 15 years straight in jail (focus on food). Regular yellow onion. Peas were hard shrimp was undercooked. I actually put cheddar & sour cream flaming hot ruffles in it so I could tolerate it. And it was done under 5 minutes. That alone should've sent red flags but I was hungry and didn't want wing stop
Honestly the worst Chinese food I have ever eaten. Just order for first time and last. The fried dumplings where only half cooked, raw dumpling wrappers. The hot n sour was flavorless, mei fun noodles where as bland as could be and chopped up 1 inch noodles like a child does to spaghetti. The garlic chicken and general tso both seemed like microwave food. The only thing that had flavor was the mustard packet. Seriously terrible, $67 with of food thrown in garbage can. Never again
Came to visit from Tennessee and went here based on the reviews online. We were not disappointed. Food was fast and fresh and tasted great! Will definitely be back 👍
I picked up food here before and it lead me to order delivery, the spare ribs seemed more like tough beef with no flavor, the pork fried rice was just tinted prain rice from a steam table or just old rice with no added pork or veggies. The dumplings were cold in the center and was one less the the last time.
Disappointed!
Amazing food, huge proportions and would highly recommend!! I am visiting out of state, and it’s amazing!! Will be back again if in the area again.

Cute atmosphere, very welcoming. generous portions and delicious selections, they even offer to give you more sauce if you run out throughout your meal. my only complaint is that we are just passing through or I would eat there every day!
I was looking for something not heavy and fresh tasting and I found it! What a fun vibe place to get delicious poke. Lots of great options to choose from so you could never get bored.
It was a very tasty explosion of flavors!
The sauces were delicious. The inside decor has a fun tiki atmosphere.
The staff was also great with explaining what flavors were like and just overall helpful and friendly.
It was a surprising gem spot by the beach. They have a lot of fresh options, service was great, and it tasted very delicious. Absolutely recommend👌🏽 and will definitely come for another visit.
The price is worth it on both the quality as well as the amount of food. The service is wonderful, imagine Chipotle but for Poké. The best way to describe the atmosphere: the reateraunt is adjacent to Ron Jon, but walking from one to another it never really seems like you left. I will be back anytime im in town!
I ordered the NASA poke bowl and very happy with the service, quality, and serving size. Would def go back for the food. Cute, slightly over the top tiki decor. 🤣
Love this place! Food is always fresh. The bowls are amazing and the BOBA is even better. Great service and the workers are very friendly.
Poke Fin is such a fun place to check out if you are near Cocoa Beach. The food was delicious (similar to Chipotle but with fish instead!), and the interior of the restaurant was decorated very nicely. The ladies who helped us with our order were very excited to do so! Would love to come back!

Amazing flavor. A clean modern setting that feels new, the plates were all bursting with flavor. The fish special was so perfectly moist, the shrimp zesty and not at all overcooked, the crab perfectly seasoned. The seafood rice is a MUST HAVE. Very friendly service. Great place for a group to meet. Don't be fooled by the modern feel or strip mall, the spices have that "my grandmother taught me to cook" taste of down home southern cooking.
The service was mixed, we did not feel attended to, we were greeted and seated quickly, you can order via QR or at the counter, I choose the latter.
We were given plastic utensils, when the food came which was designed to be shared, it didn't come with plates, so you either eat from the tray or go get plates. Customers were smiling and happy, good reggae music played.
They gave us a can for trash, paper towels, but no wipes anything to actually clean your hands. No One actually offered any service, for over a hundred dollars I had to get plates, so I just adjusted the tip accordingly. but I think it may just be that way, due to the nature of Uber and take out.
The food was tasty, the fried fish was amazing, there's was corn, potatoes. The shrimp was juicy and there's was a good amount, the crab was small not much meat. Again no utensils...
The Mac and cheese was very tasty, and while people complained about the crab meat being imitation. My complaint is that I didn't see it listed that as imitiation, nor was I told about the option for lump crab, I would have chosen it.
Overall it was a good meal I would go back, the flavor was not unique it was heavy on the old bay, which is not terrible, but again not unique.
Try it for yourself.
Fried Fish over a bed of Creamy Cheese Grits 10 out of 10 so good, and 1 mouth watering cluster .Welcoming atmosphere. The staff makes you feel at home. Very friendly clean family, date 🌙 night vibe .A must that we return
Very good seafood. We ordered fried lobster, crab legs, fried oysters shrimp with Mac and cheese. Seafood Mac and cheese. Crab fries! Pineapple lemonade. A little of everything. It was all very good. The fried lobster tasted better last time I came but it was still good.
Prices are what you would expect for a place like this. You can order via qr code at the table or order at the desk. Food came out quickly. Plenty of seating and no wait.
Tables could be cleaner. They are better than last time but still a bit sticky. Restroom needs a bit of TLC as well.
Come through and check it out!
i loved the flavor and the potatoes hit and corn and fries flavorful like that was some good food and I'm from New Orleans and let me just say best shrimp I've had in Florida! Thank you for that it was worth every penny.

Taste: Mid
Price: High for the size crabs they offer.
I thought this place served the seafood in the bag and you could select flavors and spice levels etc. This place serves the sauce on the side. No spice and not a lot of flavor. Its ok overall.
i loved it.... especially the sausage!! 😋 we are from TN and couldn't wait to try this place while in town, definitely didn't disappoint.
only complaint? the self ordering on the QR CODE thing took a min to figure out, i didnt like that part. Having someone take our order is part of why we like to eat out.

My family and I had a great dinner eating at Sergio’s Tacos. The food was delicious and generous! Service was excellent providing good recommendations on what turned out to be a delicious meal. My kids loved the quesadillas. Plenty of meats to try in your tacos, burritos, quesadillas, etc. the place is colorful and comfortable to enjoy a nice meal.

It was WARM in the restaurant - they do have a mini split on the back wall, so if you want to be a bit cooler I would sit towards the back of the restaurant. Service was great and fast - they have a touchscreen to order dine in or take out plus a regular cash register. Food was good but I’m not going to be dreaming about it. We ordered a California Burrito, Steak Fajita Burrito, Shrimp Taco, Mahi Taco, Al Pastor Taco, and Birria Tacos. On Mondays, burritos come with a free Tinga Taco. Out of everything we tried, we all agreed that the California Burrito, Mahi Taco, and Birria Tacos were our favorites. Something to note, the Birria Tacos only come in a set of 3 - you cannot order a single Birria Taco. Sauces were excellent - both the red and green were packed with flavor. Overall, good spot for a quick meal after the beach or picking up to eat at the beach.
We are visiting from Michigan and went to Sergio’s Tacos due to all the good reviews and boy was it AMAZING!! Don’t go anywhere else support your local Mexican Restaurants especially ones like Sergio. He was there in the restaurant checking in on his customers creating conversations and his wife is the kitchen is an Angel I wish I could take her home with me. The food is out of this world flavor was all there! Go to Sergio’s now, tomorrow, and every day after that!
Shrimp tacos were amazingly delicious! The Mango salsa on them was top notch! The place was so cute and a friendly staff. Was cool to see the tacos made. My daughter and I will definitely be coming back during our stay on Cocoa Beach for her World Series tournament! 10/10 recommended
We had the lunch special (2 tacos with beans and rice) and Birria. So good! I would definitely come back to eat regularly, if I was a local! Al Pastor was delicious!
Two of us, 1st visit. We had the daily special, any 2 tacos w/ rice and beans. Decent value for the money. The meats were tender. The Carnitas and the Carne Asada tacos had onions and cilantro on top. Shrimp had mango salsa. Everything was just ok to us, a bit bland.
We have gone to a number of taco places in Cocoa Beach and they're good but the flavor in these tacos was absolutely amazing. Best tacos we have had since moving back from Mexico 5 years ago. I had the chorizo which was spicy and flavorful and an al pastor which was a perfect blend of sweet and savory met Sergio great guy. This is the real deal we got. The guacamole came with warm chips and it was fantastic. The only reason I gave the atmosphere of three is because it's in a strip mall. It's bare Bones but to be honest that is a part of its unique character. I just don't want people to think based on reviews of other restaurants that have amazing interiors and beautiful views that they're going to get something like that here. It's very clean. It's wonderful. Still great food everytime we come 😁
Now THIS place was good. Everything tasted fresh, authentic, and delicious. The owner is super friendly and DAMN do they make a good taco. So good that my friend who ordered poke next door went in to order a taco of their own. They said the shells tasted homemade. I didn't confirm it with the chef but they definitely tasted amazing
I had the birria (only comes in 3) and a fish taco and still wanted to back for another.
We flew in from out of town and this restaurant is the only one going on our itinerary for our next trip to Florida

Omggggg this food. These drinks. The service. All top notch. Some of the absolute best I’ve had. Not just in Cocoa. The drinks were strong and tasty, the food was fresh and absolutely delicious. We had the Caribbean jerk wings and the chile lime fries. The service (Louis) was excellent and friendly. I can’t recommend this place enough. Thank you for a great experience here.

We absolutely love Tropics. From Musubi to a Frozen Flight, you cannot go wrong with a stop in here.
Tropics does a fantastic job of combining the service and drink selection of a high end cocktail bar with the beach vibes you’d expect at a location so close to the ocean.
By night, Tropics becomes a sleek place to dance and have a nice drink with great DJs and lively people from both in and out of town.
After an incredible day soaking up the sun and enjoying the waves at the beach, we were ready to unwind and treat ourselves to some well-deserved refreshments. That’s when we stumbled upon Tropics Cocktail Bar, and what a delightful discovery it turned out to be! As we stepped inside, the vibrant atmosphere immediately enveloped us, setting the perfect tone for an evening of relaxation and indulgence.
Our server, Nicole, was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we were seated, she greeted us with a warm smile and engaging conversation that made us feel right at home. Her recommendations were spot-on, showcasing her extensive knowledge of the menu. She suggested we try their signature Filipino chesestic, and I can honestly say it was one of the best culinary decisions we've ever made. Each bite was a heavenly experience, the cheese delightfully melting in our mouths, creating a rich and savory sensation that left us wanting more.
But the culinary adventure didn’t stop there! Next up were the chili lime fries, which were a glorious blend of zesty, salty, and spicy flavors. The seasoning was just perfect, the tang of lime paired wonderfully with the heat from the chili, elevating these fries to a whole new level of deliciousness. We couldn’t get enough, and we found ourselves reminiscing about our beach day while indulging in these delightful snacks.
To make the evening even more special, we decided to sample the Baller whiskey. It may not be a traditional Japanese whiskey, it is beautifully Japanese-inspired and aged in authentic Japanese casks. This unique finishing process imparted a smoothness and complexity that was simply divine. Each sip felt like a mini celebration, and we enjoyed the playful garnish of eyes added by the staff, whimsically scattered around the bar, adding a touch of fun to the experience.
As the night wore on, we found ourselves completely immersed in the atmosphere of the bar, the laughter, the music, and the exquisite drinks all combined to create an unforgettable experience. We left Tropics Cocktail Bar with big smiles on our faces and memories etched in our minds, feeling grateful for the wonderful staff, especially Nicole, who made our evening so memorable. If you're looking for a place to unwind and enjoy fantastic food and drink, I cannot recommend this bar enough!
We came here after the beach and sat outside to eat and Sasha was awesome! She provided great service and made sure we were able to enjoy and relax.
She told us about the Chile lime fries that taste like Mexican street corn and we fell in love!
Their food was unique, delicious and flavorful!
We also came back later in the night to enjoy the music.
Overall this place is a hit
Wowww!!! I love love this place! The atmosphere is so fun and open. Almost gives you a boho feel, making it feel really clean. Its right on the beach so it nice to lookout, see the people and watch the sunset lol. The servers are all fun, which makes the place fun. And the food is amazing! The have a select menu of a few things but what they do have, is made well. I had the wings with the lime chili fries and was 12/10. Perfect place for for a beach day and drinks. Will def be returning:)
Reviews seem inflated from reality or these tourists are easily impressed. The food is alright. The chicken wings were bad - don’t get these. The sliders seemed a bit gritty. The cocktails I guess were strong but they ain’t no specially crafted beverage they just whip it out of the slushy machine. Their Filipino cheesesticks have nothing Filipino about them, I’m Filipino so I can speak on this.
We stopped by for dinner after an afternoon on the beach. We didn’t realize it was seat yourself. So it did take us about 10 minutes before we were greeted. I don’t recommend getting any drinks with ice in this area because it taste really odd. But the food was amazing. We got the fruit plate, spam, musubi, spam, sliders, and plain burger, sliders with cheese and you have to sit outside for the view!
Just love this bar, not only because of its excellent cocktail program, with hand made, beach themed, beautiful and delicious drinks, but because it brings a new awareness to cocktails on the beach! Beach locations can make great cocktails, and people are looking for em. In this new era of dining I feel people are looking for a little more from their dining experience and a great food or liquor program gives them this.. Still offering great frozen drinks and fun beach rum cocktails just stepping it up. Good Job Tropics!

The Boardroom in Cocoa Beach! The staff was absolutely amazing—super friendly, attentive, and made the whole visit even better. The food was outstanding, full of flavor and made to perfection. Whether you're stopping in for a bite or a drink, this place is a must-visit. Highly recommend for great vibes, great people, and amazing eats! 🍽️🍹🔥
Shout out to Kim my server for the morning, you rock. Enjoyed your attentiveness and conversation. Now the food, I ordered Biscuits and gravy and I'm here to tell you that they did not disappoint. Not only the standard sausage gravy but add in chorizo and bacon bits to the top you have an over the top breakfast. I added potato hash to my order to make it a meal along with an espresso martini. Now for the espresso martini. The espresso machine was having a meltdown so Kim made my martini with "espresso infused vodka". Oh, and did I mention it's made in house, recipe's a secret, but that's fine with me. I have gone to numerous beach establishments and hands down you have the best espresso martini on the beach. Now to the photos, if I could have licked the platter clean would have. If you're ever in downtown Cocoa Beach, please visit. Friendly staff, clean restaurant, outside and inside seating, I hope you enjoy as much as I did.
Had a wonderful experience at the BoardRoom. If you're local and you have not come; you should 1,000% try this place. Great food. Great wine options. Great service.
Such a fun place! If you love cheese, come here! Ordered a special baked Brie and it was amazing, tried the meatball appetizer and they were actually my favorite. Got one charcuterie board (4) and it was extremely high quality. Berries, amazing honey, good cheese (ordered what the server recommended). Staff was friendly and clearly enjoying their job. A bit dark/hot inside but good vibes all around!!
Boardroom is one of a kind in cocoa beach, serving a fresh, delicious menu. The lovely staff is amazing and Mark always takes incredible care of us. Great selection of wine, beer and cocktails. Sweet little patio with a chill vibe, kid and dog friendly. Clean and modern design inside make for a cozy and comfy atmosphere. Live music on the patio, Sunday brunch, and private event add to the versatile nature of this awesome beach gem.
Carissa and team recently catered a party we held and I can’t recommend them enough! It was very easy to arrange and they were flexible, making the grazing table exactly what I wanted. They were prompt, clean and the end result was beautiful! Our guests raved about the presentation and the food!
Our first time checking this place out and we happen to come during Easter Sunday. A “WOW” is an understatement. The atmosphere, creative cocktails, presentation and the TASTE of the food were absolutely incredible! I will be driving this hour anytime for this experience again!! Oh and it’s Women owned and Operated. I’m SOLD all around! Thank you ladies for an amazing experience.
