The 18 best seafood restaurants in Merritt Island (2024)

2 lists

Food was Awesome. The restaurant is great. Love the decor of the fish tanks… I have to give a HUGE shoutout to our waiter, Chris… he was awesome. We never wanted or needed for anything and his energy and vibe was beyond hospitable. Very kind young man who did a great job. Everything we had was delicious… I’ve seen other reviews about prices but I thought it was reasonable for the food. I had this saved in my wanted to go list for vacation and we made it on our final night. So glad!

We had to spend 20 minutes finding a parking space, and once we got in, we were told it was a 25 minute wait for a table for 2. We went to the bar where Jen took excellent care of us! The best bartender, she jumbled drinks further while house and got us our apps and entrees. She made her job look easy! Jen is the best!

Unpretentious local restaurant famous for their wide selection of fresh seafood dishes at reasonable prices. We thoroughly enjoyed the service, atmosphere and food. Fish tacos were perfectly prepared! We were lucky to get seated mid-afternoon as the place was almost full and had a long line waiting by the time we left.

Wow what a find! This place is huge with plenty of seating and wonderful decor. Danielle was a awesome server! They start out with hush puppies sprinkled with powdered sugar. The crab and shrimp dip was delicious and not lacking size. Entrees we’re also delicious. You finish your meal with a tasty taste of sorbet! A must stop when hungry!

Wife and I had a wonderful date night here while on our anniversary Vacation. We loved the atmosphere. I will say the food is a bit on the higher end as far as price goes but we enjoyed it! Only thing we did not care for are the grits. We love grits and honestly these taste like Quaker instant grits. We forgot our waiters name but he reminded us of Shane Madej- was unbelievably professional, attentive and gave us exceptional customer service. That is our main reason for the five stars! Service like that is hard to find! -just like Ghosts 😂

Gator bites are a must! It’s a good size portion that won’t disappoint. We also ordered the mild combo seafood boil. Definitely has a kick even at the “mild” status. Our server, Sam from Michigan, was attentive, sweet, and helpful. If you’re in Cocoa Beach, come check this place out :)

Got this recommendation from the locals. We were not disappointed. It was a Monday night and they were on about a 30 min wait. The service from the hostess to our server Chris was friendly and knowledgeable. The hostess and our server gave a great recommendations for dishes to try. We shared the seafood boil and the gator tails. This was my first boil. We got mild and it wasn’t overly spicy and was packed with flavor. The gator tails were bomb! Tender and flavorful with a delish Cajun sauce for dipping. Then we were presently surprised with complimentary fritters. They were like funnel cake balls and so perfectly cooked. Crispy on the outside and soft and tender on the inside. If you are in Cocoa Beach, this is the place to go. Delish and affordable. Meal with tip (no drinks) was $64 for what we ordered

This was quite possibly the best seafood I have ever had at a restaurant in Florida. It feels a bit touristy, but the food is real. I splurged on the Florida Feast, which was one of the best decisions of my life. I was blown away by the portions and the freshness. My dad couldn’t stop talking about it for days after we dined.

Two of us dined here. Ordered the shrimp and crab dip. Super good, lots of seafood, fresh, light dip. Wish I did not need to unwrap the crackers. Also had the fried rock shrimp, coleslaw and broccoli for sides. The shrimp had a light batter, tasty, fair price. Didn’t wow me. The cole slaw was good. Ordered shrimp tacos and a side of broccoli. Didn’t realize the shrimp was fried, assumed it was grilled, so disappointed. Picked apart the tacos which made a mess. Didn’t enjoy the tacos. The broccoli had no flavor, was hard (not cooked) had no seasoning. One of us liked the fritters the other didn’t. Every meal gets lemon sorbet, waitress was too busy talking to the people at the bar to serve us ours.Charged $1.90 to use a credit card. Please put it in the price of the food rather than a separate charge we were not told about.Since the price of going out has increased we are more picky about where we spend our money and the food has to be very good, this place fell short, would not return.

Went here with family I'm visiting for lunch on a Saturday afternoon. The place wasn't busy and we got seated right away. The food, service and atmosphere was great. The corn fritters were great! Our server was very polite and very informative on the food and drinks they served. Food came out really fast and was fresh. I got the medium blacken shrimp with a garden salad and French fries. The shrimp could of had a little bit more seasoning but I'm still giving 5 stars because it still tasted good. Prices aren't too bad for a seafood restaurant. I would come here often if I lived in the area. Recommend!

We had an amazing date night dinner at this place.Food — can’t say anything bad. Wow. They start you off with fritters. Salmon was sooo good. Shrimp was amazing. Portions were just huge.Service — our waiter was awesome. And helped us with some featured menu items. Went above and beyond.Atmosphere — cool vibe. We were seated next to a huge aquarium with fish swimming right by us.Will go again and can’t recommend enough!

Food was great. Fun environment. Service was ok. They had a guy doing balloon animals on Friday and Saturday night. Sounds cheesy but he is really good. Ask for a penguin. Claim chowder came in a bread bowl so that made my day. I also had the large fried shrimp and they were outstanding however my wife had the mahi and it was just average. There was just something missing to put it at 5 stars.

The atmosphere is fun and peak Florida. The food is tasty and served quickly. The prices are a little high, but still reasons. The waitstaff are kind and friendly. The only downside is the limited parking.

The place had a shark drink and pirate decor... so of course I'm going! It was just packed packed. So I went for a drive for an hour. Came back, still packed, but I wanted a shark drink and pineapple chicken.Service was great. Eva was so much fun and she thought my tomfoolery of being silly was funny.Had the garlic knots with cheese. Very good.Had the Greek salad. Also very good.The pineapple chicken was awesome! Chicken was expertly grilled. The pineapple salsa was good. Broccoli and rice also good.My shark blue drink in a pineapple glass was so good, I sent a picture to my sister, who showed her 4 yo daughter to cried as she wanted one too. And yes, Scarlett, it was that good.Thanks y'all!

Overall, I would not recommend this place if you are looking for fresh quality seafood value for your dollar.My husband and I are locals who had never been here before. The service was great, but the overall food quality was mediocre for the price and what we were expecting. Our meal was over $100, including tip. We had an appetizer, 2 entrées, and the only drinks we had were 2 beers and water.The coconut shrimp appetizer was pretty good, and the complimentary hushpuppies they serve were delicious, I must say.We both had combos (shrimp, scallops, and crab legs between the 2 of us) for dinner. I had mine scampi style, and my husband had his blackened. While the crab legs and cheesy bacon grits were ok, the shrimp were tough and had no flavor. The "drawn" butter was not like butter at all, but more like the oil they brush on toast in restaurants.

The dining experience was a little lack luster, and the food was fine, not great, but ok for lunch. Lots to catch your eye. The restaurant is full of decorative pieces.

the place is very nicely decorated, it has like a tropical feel. and the waitress i had was absolutely amazing she was so sweet and on it. the food was just delicious, actually the first time i had alligator and it was way better than j expected! (we ofcourse had to get the souvenir too)

I cannot begin to express how amazing this place is. First of all, we came in as a party of seven… The service was amazing (shout out to Ry), it was busy, but we were greeted right away and given some sugared pastries (I forget what they’re called). Drinks came out lightening fast, appetizers were prepared in the heavens!!! (Ask for the fried lobster) and the main course did not disappoint. Atmosphere was super chill with good music dialed down to the right volume… this place is special, we will definitely be back!! Everyone was really friendly and accommodating, down to the host! BRAVO 🙌🏽

Amazing food. Service was above & beyond! Prices are incredible for the portions of everything. Catch of the day was mahi and my boyfriend enjoyed that. Eva was so personable and had the best suggestions! We are from central IN and will be back!

A fun restaurant for a date night or with the family. The food is good but nothing to write home about. It’s food you can rely on and have a few drinks with. It’s definitely got a cool decor and the service was good. Would go back!

Pretty good sudo seafood place in Coca Beach, I wouldn't say it's a full-blown seafood restaurant, however. The food is pretty good, and they have a large drink menu. Dinning space is limited, and I would advise calling ahead for a reservation.

Florida's Seafood Bar & Grill was suggested to us from Central Florida Airboat Tour Captain Dusty. We dined there and I have to tell you the coconut shrimp was the best I've had in my entire life. How can someone deep fry coconut shrimp where the shrimp inside the battering was still hot and juicy without burning the outside batter/coconut??? I guess using fresh caught seafood really does make a difference. We will return to dine here on each trip to Fl to visit our family. Service was fast and staff friendly, seafood amazing. Highly recommend you drive down to Cocoa and stop in here. They do not disappoint!

Random find when in town for a rocket launch! Our server was lovely. Complimentary powdered sugar corn fritters were perfect....and there was so much to choose from we absolutely ordered waaaayyy too many things cause we wanted to try everything.Decor was also fun... 💯 on theme.

Show up shortly after they opened so was able to grab a table right away. Definitely a super cool place to sit out over the water for drinks and food. It was windy but not very bad. Not a place to be when the winds are super high. Staff was very friendly and attentive. Drinks and food came out super quick after ordering. Food was just ok but the prices were reasonably. Drinks were where it was at, very good. Food options were from the restaurant in the middle of the pier.

I wanted seafood and I wanted a view. This location had both. Enjoyed a quiet Tuesday night watching the sunset, a cruise ship leaving Port and being rocked by the large waves rolling to shore. Between the sushi and the poke bowl, I chose the Point Break Roll. I found out the sake drinks are not available at the Riki Tiki Taven but enjoyed the Gin Cooler and a Titos with Soda and Lime. It was definitely breezy and cooler over the water. Other guests opted to not to stay on the pier, especially after the sun went down.

This is such a fun place to enjoy a drink or some food with an ocean view. The staff was super helpful, and very kind. (They had some great suggestions for non alcoholic drink options) the food was fantastic (coconut shrimp), and the birds are so fascinating to watch. It's an amazing spot, and for a tourist area the prices are honestly really fair.

Food & drinks were delicious and the view was fabulous! Our server was efficient and friendly, even gave us the extra bit of specialty drink that would have overflowed our cups. Yum! Great place to chill and watch the surfers. Several tables with umbrellas if not already under the tiki roof. Located at the end of the pier. Parking lot right there is $15.

Hello my friends! Here is another review for you! This is a very nice place at the pier of Cocoa Beach in FL! I was there with my wife, and it was a very beautiful day! They have pretty good burgers that we had. It was pretty nice, and it was very delicious. The waiter was smiling and he had a great attitude.! I recommend this place everybody!

A little late but it’s a gloomy in Toronto and I was thinking how I’d love to be at this place today! 😎 My hubby and I were here in March. After biking down the strip of Cocoa Beach, our stop at the Riki Tiki Tavern (at the end of the pier) was the highlight of the day!It’s a super chill, good vibes only tavern serving delicious, reasonably priced food and drinks. Perfect for lunch or dinner after enjoying a beach day with friends or surfing the waves. ☀️🏄‍♀️🌊Pros: Amazing location, open air bar, great atmosphere with the tavern located at the end of the pier. Excellent views of the beach, surfers, and looking out at the ocean as far as the eye can see! Service was fast and the servers were friendly and easy going. Food was absolutely fantastic! Large portions, cooked perfectly. The grouper sandwich was the best fish sandwich I’ve had in my life! Drinks were also 5 star!Cons: If I had to pick one thing, the tavern doesn’t have restrooms immediately attached. You do have to go back down the pier to find them but I prefer this since it keeps fowl odours and sounds away from where you eat. Flushing toilets would kill the vibe. LOL There is seating at the start of the pier also, so there are options to be closer to restrooms for those with young children or those who prefer it.To note, this is not a fancy place. It’s a very down to earth, relax, beach vibes, GVO bar and restaurant. I would hang out here all day if I lived nearby. Great for families, students, adults, work groups. Just awesome! Would highly recommend!

Our server was quick and efficient on a busy Saturday. Good atmosphere with great views of the beach. Drinks were ok and did not have much alcohol in them.

Beautiful views! Prompt service. Very busy when I was there. 7pm on a Friday night and Saturday night. I also sat at the inner bar to...pictures included of that too.There are 2 bars. One shop. One ice cream stand it the front by parking lot.Plus ins for Cars.Plenty of seating.Awesome Ocean breezes, sound of waves crashing and good drinks. I didnt order food.I recomend going just for the scenery.

Very nice Pier restaurant. Its a $15 parking. That includes the beach entrance. Before you hit the restaurant there is a gift shop. The restaurant is split inside and out. In the back you have the Tiki Bar overlooking the ocean (beautiful view). I didnt give it a 5 star because the food wasn't anything great. Its average and nothing fancy. The price is very reasonable for the serving they give. The service was fantastic and staff were very friendly. One thing I really gotta give credit tho the bathroom was SUPERB! It was very clean!!!

Yes! By far my favorite restaurant visit of our entire vacation! I was a little worried from the reviews but I seriously see no reason why this restaurant got anything less than 5 stars.It opens at 11 and I recommend being there exactly at 11 on the weekend. We got there at 11:08 and were seated promptly but just one table over from what I wanted. It was busy! But still our table was great!Server greeted us immediately and got our drinks fast. The strawberry daiquiri was one of the best daiquiris I’ve ever had. SO good! We ordered the waygu burger and it was delicious. Our kids ate every bit of their food too. The views were to die for and we saw dolphins while eating too!Kid’s menu is not listed but they have one and it was delicious! They can also make any frozen drink a virgin drink and my boys LOVED their piña coladas!All in all myself and my family give it a 10/10!

Relaxed Vibes, awesome service and good food. First time exploring Cocoa Beach and happy we decided to try Tikki Tavern. Definitely a place to try while in town.

Visited here with a friend just for a drink. We got a great spot at the end which meant we could just stare out into the ocean, feel the breeze and soak in the sea air. We ordered a co*cktail each. I had the Miami vice which was delicious! Would definitely return.

We visited in the early evening for a drink before dinner. It was very crowded but we managed to get a table after a short wait. Very cool atmosphere. Watch the waves roll under you! It took awhile to grab the bartenders attention to get drinks. They were very talkative with some locals but overall the service was good and we enjoyed our drinks!

Very nice location to experience sunset by the bay. The food was great! Awesome service too. I loved their Piñacolada. My husband and I did really have a fantastic night at the place. It’s a must to try out.

I rarely post reviews, but I was wowed by this place! Both the food and especially the service was spectacular. I always come to pier restaurants with low expectations, but this place is awesome. We had a party of 8 and ordered a variety of food, and it was all very good, especially the sushi, sashimi, nigri, and rolls. Gina was outstanding as a keeper at a busy bar. We'll be back for sure

For 2 people we ended up paying $73 before tip for two main meals, an extra side, one smoothie, and two beers. We ordered 2 drafts beers and a Strawberry/Passionfruit virgin smoothie (REALLY good) to start. for our meals we had the pork butt mac and cheese with onion rings on it and a crab cake sandwich. The mac and cheese was very creamy and delicious, but it was a little pricey at $16 given the portion was a little small. but overall the food was great.Their menu is the same as Pier 62 (even said pier 62 at the bottom)Given that it's January and the off season we had no trouble getting a table. Service was good. We were lucky enough to see dolphins playing in the surf while eating, which wS a nice treat. We definitely will bring visiting guests here, but will warn them of the price.

We had a fantastic meal before leaving Orlando/Cocoa Beach, thanks to a recommendation from our Airbnb co-host. It truly lived up to its reputation! My son opted for the Mac n cheese, and I indulged in the lobster rolls – both were exceptional choices! I was pleasantly surprised by the rich, creamy homemade mac and cheese, while the lobster rolls were simply divine, generously filled with buttery goodness and even more than the usual garlic bread. And let's not forget about the fries – they were a unique and delightful addition to the meal! The servers were incredibly friendly and attentive, always ready to refill our drinks, provide extra napkins, or suggest desserts. Although there was indoor dining available, my son and I opted for the outdoor seating, which offered a beautiful and relaxed atmosphere for our evening.

The 4 instead of 5 stars is due to the prices. I've been visiting this bar since I was barely drinking age (when it was called Mai Tiki) It's been redone lovely so that there's much more space to sit. It's no longer a bar hut- but an actual bar & grill. It's the best spot on the beach. I always feel like I'm on vacation when I spend time here.It's been way too long! I Love this place & can't wait to visit again! ❤️

Great stop for our random choice of where to eat lunch.We ordered the seasoned shrimp with their garlic parm pasta salad as the side and a sweet chili dipping sauce along with their Cuban Club style inspired sandwich with the beer battered fries.Everything was very appealing visually and delicious to the tastebuds.Came out hot and every bite was enjoyed.You will have an incredible view of the ocean and all that comes with that.The local birds want to help you with your meal also, but will stay their distance as long as you don’t feed them.They are a very humorous part of the experience.We ordered two drinks that were very tasty.A great choice of places to stop and we will go back.

Had an excellent experience here this past Saturday. I've been here many times but not in recent years since moving to the South end of the county. The location is great as always. It's a great location to see the cruise ships roll out and listen to some music. The food and drinks are AMAZING and our waiter we had on Saturday was awesome. The service is always pretty good. We were there for hours just hanging out before the fireworks that night at the observation tower and he was very attentive and took care of us excellently. We had several rounds of food and drinks and everything was perfect. My wife enjoyed it a lot so we will be back sooner than later

Holy cow this place is awesome. We arrived and they had an outside drink station set up for while you wait. Super friendly bar tender running it and owner was nearby to help.They were super busy, but only short wait for a table. Sasha took fantastic care of us. Great personality, great suggestions and very fun and attentive. She was never far away for another beverage or refill. She timed the appetizers with the salads and mains perfectly. She is absolutely great! Oh... and the food was absolutely delicious. Bang up shrimp was ridiculous, onion rings and our mains were perfect. Some of the best crab cakes I have ever had. Grouper was phenomenal.We will definitely be back to this great spot.Highly highly recommend

This little place has everything going for it, great food, good service and a location convenient to locals, visitors to KSC, and cruise passengers. The restaurant is located in the cruise port, along the channel ships use to go in and out to the ocean. If you can bear the heat, the views from tables on the back patio are great in mid afternoon as the ships embark upon their journeys and in late afternoon for beautiful sunsets. We visited in late afternoon on a day when it was 90°, so we opted for a table inside. Our waitress was friendly and seemed to enjoy her job. The service she provided was great. She checked with us frequently to attend to our needs. The food was enjoyed by all. Kids in our party loved the kids meals, and the adults loved the entrees they ordered, especially the seafood. The only critique we had was that the Mahi Rueben was a really small portion, even with the salad added on. The portion wasn't much bigger than items ordered off the kid's menu. A bigger Reuben sandwich and a bigger salad add-on is what should have been on the adult menu and the one I got would be fine for the kids I should add that the slider burgers and pizza that the kids ordered were great Also, the co*cktails we got were amazing, both in presentation and taste. This was our first visit to Fishlips and certainly plan to be back soon.

Excellent food and serviceWent for dinner after a day at the Kennedy space center.Ordered the shrimp nachos as an appetizer. Large portion very sharable. Large pile of fried wonton chips with baby shrimp, cheese and pico de Gallo. Very good. About $13Kids meals were reasonable at $6-8 and included an ice cream. Milk was an additional $1.25. Kids had the Mac and cheese with friesI had the scallops and risotto. Scallops were perfectly cooked. Mushroom risotto also excellent. Portion size was good. About $28My husband had the crab cake platter which included 4 good size crab cakes. Also excellent. About $28James was our server who was super friendly and attentive.Highly recommend when in Cape Canaveral area.

I’m not sure why this place has so many good reviews. We usually go to other places at the port but we decided to try something new with visiting family. Wish we stuck to what we knew!It was only for apps and drinks since it was a little early. The atmosphere is the best part.We decided on grouper bites, fish dip and the chicken nachos. The four grouper bites were greasy and a few were on the thinner side, crunchy breading and not much flavor. The best thing out of the three was the fish dip although it was a fairly small scoop, it was the one everyone liked. The chicken nachos were the WORST we’ve ever had!! My brother is one to NOT send things back but if it were my husband and I alone…I would have sent them back right away!! The chips were greasy and hardly any, come on how much does it cost to add more chips?? They looked so gross I would even try them!!The drinks were ok, nothing great about them but I will add my sisters looked good!!We live here and obviously this is a tourist place!! There are many other choices here, sadly, this is not my choice!!

Great experience overall. The atmosphere was very nice. Food was good and the free mimosas with breakfast were a nice touch. One of our food items came out cold but that was promptly addressed. Our server was slightly forgetful, but it was pretty busy. Overall a solid experience and we hope to be back at some point.

Kaylee was an excellent server on the patio on a Thursday evening. One of our group members couldn't use the stairs and the elevator was broken, so we stayed on the first floor. After a round of co*cktails and a bottle of wine, we ordered our mains (shrimp, swordfish, and seafood diablo pasta), all of which were delicious, if slightly messy. We saw at least one dolphin and plenty of birds. The only downside was that the sun was HOT and there are no awnings or umbrellas, so get ready to sweat.

Enjoying an evening with friends eating tasty food with excellent service. I had the Mango Jerk Mahi. It was very spicy and delicious. My son had the Korean BBQ Boneless Wings. They were exquisite and contained real chicken breast, not that fake stuff like other restaurants. I like coming here when we're visiting our friend on the weekend. It's his favorite restaurant.

The view is awesome to sit and watch the cruise ships go by, but the food is just ok. Everything was cooked well, but just kind of fell flat. We got fish and chips, Korean bbq nachos, shark bites, blackened fish tacos and tuna tacos. The best by far was the shark. Perfectly cooked and the sauce had a bit of heat to it.

I decided to stop by after spending some time at the beach. The service was ok. My server was good but the overall vibe was bland. It has a view of the ocean however it's mostly a view of boats at the docks and construction. The food was flavorful. I'm sure at night it's a lot of fun. I had their season appetizer of the sea food butter bread or something like that (sorry) it was delicious. It was different. I really enjoyed it. I also had coconut crusted grouper and it was good. I would recommend.

Stopped in for a drink while in the area. We sat in the outdoor patio bar. There’s a nice view of the cruise ships that dock there. I assume most of the people there were tourists. It was nice. We got our drinks quickly but there was a shift change, so it took quite a while to get our check for payment.

First, 5th and 8th day of our trip we ate at Fishlips. The Grouper Sandwich was to die for. A very good first day lunch. We returned for dinner two more times with excellent results.We recommend the crab cakes, shark bites, clam chowder, coconut shrimp and the fish lips tacos!We will return here next year when we come back to Cape Canaveral.Ask to sit on the patio, upstairs for the best views.Views of the channel were fantastic.Towards the end of our Sunday lunch (1st;day) SpaceX Doug retrieval ship and landing drone appeared towing a booster from Thursday’s launch.

Excellent view of the cruise ship port, outdoor bar seating, good food and live music. I had the Korean Nachos (which was good except the beef was on the too sweet side) and my sweetie pie had the seafood mac and cheese, which he enjoyed. Sadly they ran out of their Papa's Pilar Rum from the Hemingway brewery. Would have been nice to drink my favorite rum while listening to live 70s rock. But no complaints, the weather was perfect!😍

My family LOVED Fishlips!! Definitely recommend. We sat outside downstairs. Very friendly service and beautiful view! There was live music upstairs. Quite relaxing atmosphere with the soft music. The food was amazing too. We got spinach dip and chips as an appetizer, the seafood roll, fish and chips, and shrimp tempura. All generous portions that left us feeling full. All came out warm and fast.

Great staff, food and environment. The food was amazing and you can watch the Cruise ship leave and arrive at the correct times.

This was our first time at Fishlips. It has been on our travel hit list for a while now.If you are feeling adventurous, it's a mile walk from a couple of the hotels. I recommend wearing comfortable shoes. Or $8-$10 via Lift. We did a combination and walked off our lunch. Checking out some of the other shops close by.The entrance is on the left side of the building, you walk right into the merch shop. Very smart. It's like the opposite of a theme park where you get the merch last lol.Go up a narrow flight of stairs. You walk into an open bar area and a hostess will greet you, Sweet girl. You can sit inside/ outside covered with fans or just covered with an umbrella in the open air.Our server was amazing. He's been working there for years. Knows the areas, and things to do. Recommend a place where we could do dinner and a Picnic while we listen to live music.The salad was fresh, clean and crisp. The fish and chips were very Krispy and well-seasoned. This made for a happy, happy Husband, giggling Wife😉. The calamari was small but, you got a good portion.The peel & eat shrimp was delicious, we ordered it warm, and the server brought a melted butter he wanted us to try. It was perfectly seasoned and creamy with herbs and garlic and something he added. We had a catch-and-release situation on our hands. We set the shrimp free to swim, Shell and all. Messy but worth it!If you're going for raw oysters on a half-shell, call ahead. They were out.The view was nice. Relaxing.If you're a Nasa or Space X fan. You'll know what the black tubular item in the photo is :) We geeked out.Thank you for stopping by and reading the review. Please leave a thumbs up. 🥂🍻🍸🍹 Cheers to you fellow travelers.

Great spot on the water for a drink or quick meal. There was a beautiful sunset while i was there, and four TVs with the games on. The wings were some of the best I've had in a long time! The poke bowl wasn't that good though. Went on a Monday night so it was easy to find a table or a seat at the bar both inside and out.

They were so accommodating for our increasingly large group. We were able to get a table on the water and watch the launch. I had a burger and fries as well as a key lime ale. Very delicious! A good experience and would definitely go back!

What's a fantastic place ...I can't say enough good stuff you just have to come here yourself there are plenty of bars in this place upstairs and downstairs it's kid friendly people are not obnoxious according to trending it's just real people enjoying themselves just a really a great place.The food is absolutely great and there's a huge election. Check out my pictures and the menus I took a picture of enjoy.

Surprised I haven't ever written a review since we've been coming here for over seven years and it's a regular spot we bring friends and family who come to visit. The outdoor seating/bar afford a great view of the port, especially SpaceX's working boats. Neat place to watch a launch. Last visit, 28 DEC, we jumped in as most people were leaving after the Falcon Heavy launch (we were down at Terminal 3/boat ramp), so the place was near empty. Our server Forrest was supper friendly and made good menu recommendations. Offers a military discount.

we got there at 10 am when they opened. I'm not much of a complainer, but the food when it came out was cold. They quickly corrected it and brought out new plates. Our server was very friendly and attentive to his tables, always ensuring our drinks were topped off. I'd recommend this restaurant, but going forward, there are so many restaurants I'd think we'd be doing a disservice to ourselves by not trying out others.

We had chicken wings that were forgotten to be plucked. We called the waitress over and showed the feathers on our food. She literally laughed and said "oh yeah, that happens sometimes" !!The place was also crazy cold downstairs that we all had to put on our motorcycle gear so that we wouldn't end up getting crippled due to the AC blowing right on top of us. Then we went upstairs to check out the view, not much to see. Upstairs was boiling hot and there were black flies around because doors were all open.We won't be going back!

The atmosphere is top notch, sat outside and enjoyed the view ,ships were in port. The crab cakes were delicious,coconut shrimp was fantastic the Reuben is amazing and the chicken Isabela with mushroom risotto can’t be beat- I highly recommend this place

This place was recommended by a local, and we got some takeout for the long drive. we got the coconut grouper.10/10 it was a big piece and tasted amazing has alittle heat with the sauce

When we arrived, we asked for a table of 7. The employee was happy to help and we got seated very quickly! We asked for a table that was outside and shaded and the employee worked their magic and got us the table that fitted our needs! It's an amazing view since it's placed right next to the beach and you can see the beach and ocean. The employee was very nice, helpful and very welcoming. Once we were seated, we ordered our appetizers and got it much faster than usual. We did come in on a Tuesday afternoon (3pm) and it was still quite busy. We ordered our food and got it on a timely matter as well. The foods we got were actually much better than we expected it to be. I would recommend any of the dishes as they were all quite generous with their servings. For a party of 7, we also got all of our food on a timely manner. Major props to the employees for making everything go smoothly as possible. Would highly recommend this place!

The fajita style chicken is the best thing on the menu! Loved it! Beautiful view and good service. I wish the band was a little quieter. Literally is hurting my ears all night but the food was well worth it.

Completely renovated during COVID. Now it's beautiful AND has great food served hot and fresh! They still have the outdoor patio on the beach. Just a great place to go - we've made many memories here with our kids and grandkids over the years. It's close to NASA - go there first, then finish the day with a great meal here!

Coconuts was one of the first places we discovered to eat in Cocoa Beach many years ago. It's gotten even better. Best views, my food this meal was amazing. Locals tip: go 'off hours' as there is often a wait. My shrimp and scallops with spicy sauce was perfect. Great view. Street parking or the garage is close for tourists. Service has been good.

This place makes our day trip in Cocoa Beach extra more special. My wife and our friends enjoyed the food after a tiring day in NASA. Our server is really nice! Very sweet and friendly. The food have big servings, and the prices are just right. We like the view of the beach while having dinner and the band is amazing, they have good choice of songs! Overall, had a great experience in this place! Highly recommended!By the way, for the appetizer, try the Poke Nachos! Suprisingly good!

Amazing time at this one of a kind restaurant! A must go to location In the heart of Cocoa Beach Florida ⛱️ enjoy a great meal with the best drinks along side the of the beautiful open ocean!

I love this place! This is our 2nd time here and this place is absolutely worth the wait for a table. The food is excellent! Our server, Kyle, was awesome! He was on top of everything and treated us very special! This is our 2nd time of spending our anniversary here and I would highly recommend it for anniversary dinners or date nights or anytime!

A stable on Cocoa beach for longer than I can remember. Large outdoor seating facing the ocean. Food ranges from apps, peel and eat, fajitas, burgers, to full on swordfish, or lobster dinners. This place is for beach goers, spring breakers, families, and retired folks alike. Buckets of beers/co*cktails. Souvenirs, etc. Must see if you have not been here. Enjoy the food and scenery.

This is a open deck restaurant right on the water. Eating and hearing the seagulls and the ocean waves is such a peaceful and enjoyable time. They were under construction and still our waiter was very nice. I will say that the only off putting thing was when we approached the hostess she was neck long deep into the drama in her life with the other hostess and felt the need to finish her story before she greeted us.

Excellent food and service and wow is it an awesome location! We came for the Cocoa Beach Kite Festival (which was a blast) and Coconuts on the Beach was right there on the beach with the best view of the whole event.I got the Mahi mahi (Jerk style), coconut rice, and beans. The jerk seasoning had a fantastic kick which was balanced perfectly with the Mango salsa. Excellent craft beer selection too. The inside was modern and comfortable while the outside was the picturesque beach scene with a tiki bar and all. Our server was wonderful. I’ll definitely be back again.

We stopped in here for a bite after a morning at the beach. Great spot, with a lovely view of the ocean.We had the Tuna Tacos and Chips & Salsa. The salsa was excellent, the tacos substantial and fresh tasting. Included rice and beans were a bit lacking in flavour, and kind of mushy. We were surprised it was just white rice.Epic view made up for the pricy food.

Great restaurant with beachfront dining. Prices were typical for a beach restaurant, but the food is worth the price. Everything we ordered was delicious and service was excellent. We visited in mid April at lunch. There was no wait for a seat outside with great ocean views.

Coconut cups for the kids are cool. It was very hot so my salad was wilted. Drinks were good. Location from the beach is great! If coming from your hotel prepare to find and pay for parking. We got in very fast, but I noticed the wait began to really line up while we were there. Food was okay. Really enjoyed the Coconut shrimp but wasn't super impressed with the fried shrimp. Kids options are good. Definitely $$$ but that's expected at the beach.

Went here during a trip to Cocoa Beach, fantastic food! Service was relatively quick, although the place is buzzing since it it right next to the beach. Had about a 20-25 minute wait in the Florida heat but was definitely worth it. Pictured are the Poke Nachos and the Bangin' Shrimp. Both were delicious and perfect appetizers for 3 people. Entrees were also delicious and served out fast. Loved it!

The food is hit and miss, we had great food most of the time and sometimes we had not much of favors food, or cold food like the fish my husband had last time. The co*cktails are weak, as a small woman, I still need more than 2 drink to feel anything, The location had great views on the beach if you sat outside, hard to find parking sometimes. If you could find a parking on the street, it's only free for 90 minutes and you will get a ticket if you park longer. But it is always fun to go there for people watching.

We had an awesome afternoon. Great view, food, and service! The Bangin shrimp was great! Sesame tuna and conch fritters were good too.

So, it had been years since I came here, and over all it was a great experience. Great job on the remodel, staff all very friendly, of course the view is always the bonus, and live music made it a perfect evening .Collin bar staff helped us, made the night even better, very talkative, and helpful to choosing best things on the menu, the food was to perfection ( ordered the wings and French onion soup ) .- Great job guys

This place is pricey but it was our anniversary so it was a nice way to treat ourselves. The swordfish was like a dense salmon. Can't say I'd order it again but it was an experience I'm glad I had the opportunity to partake in. The bangin shrimp were really good. They're not spicy, they are a little sweet with a little tang. Perfect atmosphere with a view of the ocean and the perfect volume of music.

First time here. The place is going through construction right now so we had to leave the building, walk through the parking lot, and go to a small white trailer to use the restrooms which was really inconvenient and weird... And the waitress TOLD us to leave her a 20% tip even though her service was not that great...😳🤨🤪 But the food was really good, no complaints there, the atmosphere on the outside deck was great. A guy came around and took our pictures, over charged us $40 for 4 pictures and yes I know we didn't have to buy them, but we did have to because we were actually there celebrating a special occasion. Originaly we were sitting inside but it was way too hot inside so we asked to sit outside to catch the ocean breeze, much better. I would definitely go back for the food.

It’s a pretty incredible place especially when you’re talking right up on the beach. Great food great vibes but tremendously busy. The service was slow but you could tell they were short staffed. Our server was very polite and the food was good. The drinks were even better. Soon as you’re done eating the beach is literally 20 feet away. Id highly recommend

GOSH, how this only place has 4.4 is appalling!! Food is amazing, atmosphere...duh, right off the darn beach!!! Service is even better!! Jason is HANDS DOWN the best server we have ever experienced (and we dine out a lot!), he is SO friendly, very real, went above and beyond - very sweet soul! We came back a second time during our Florida trip and asked for him again!!! 💖The coconut rice is TO... DIE... FOR!!! I asked for a separate bowl of it day 2! 😋 My daughters' Coconut Crusted Shrimp and Mahi Reuben were also amazing!

This restaurant did not disappoint. They have three bars where you can grab a drink and hang by the beach. They do have a bit of a wait but it's worth it. The pricing was affordable. And the food was actually really good. Nice place to go on a date or even with kids. Beautiful scenery and a friendly staff. You can even dress in a swim suite and cover up. Will be returning next time I'm in town.

Delicious! And fun place for dinner. Food and drinks were served up quick and our server was so nice. Wait time for a table was pretty short, too, at least for inside dining. Would have been nice to sit outside, but that is a primo request, so we would have waited quite awhile.

We went inside as it was raining. After lunch the sun was shining the deck was awesome. What a view! Loved my shrimp & grits. All of our party ordered different items. Cassidy took good care of us.

This is a must stop every time we visit Cocoa Beach. Service is always great, and food is consistently good. You can't beat the view! They have a great selection of drinks and the best part is that they can leave with you to enjoy on the beach (not the street)

We stopped here on our way to our cruise. It took awhile to get seated but they have an outdoor bar, so my group 10 had a couples of co*cktails while we waited! That Rusty Relaxer is EVERYTHING!!!! After about a 30 minute wait we were escorted out to the back deck... The ambiance, weather, and entire vibe were on point. We had wonderful views of the port! Also, there was live music and the musician had a fantastic voice! Not only was the service and ambiance amazing but the food was also delicious and plentiful! I had the blackened fresh fish tacos! Superb!!! Others had oysters, crab legs, gator bites, calamari, onion rings, fried shrimp, to name a few and NO ONE had any complaints. Plates were CLEAN! The fried shrimp, onion rings, and gator were seasoned and fried to perfection! The crab legs and the fish in my tacos were super moist and flaky! All in all, it was a fantastic experience!

Great location. Delicious food. Long waiting time though. Food is bit expensive I suppose due to the location and popular demand. Waitress are alright compare that they have a long day duty on foot. Great drinks options. Ample car parking space outside or surroundings. Not far away from main city but need a car to reach there.

I, 100%, cannot recommend Rusty's enough. Seriously. I eat at a boatload of different types of restaurants in an even bigger boatload of locations and settings every year and Rusty's is, unequivocally, #1 on that list.We've cruised out of Port Canaveral several times and we discovered Rusty's on our first one and have planned a day around having dinner there on every visit.Situated directly on the water, it's an absolutely fantastic place for a meal. There's a large outdoor seating area with wind shades (for windy days), and views of the entirety of the port and the docks directly across the water where recovery ships bring back rocket parts from launches.Rusty's menu is huge and it's really, REALLY hard to chose. I find the best way to start is with an ice cold draft craft beer...local preferably.I can highly recommend the fish tacos and the Grouper. The Grouper (photo included) was cooked to perfection and seasoned (I had blackened) beyond just right.The service has always been great. The servers all seem to be having a great time and to love what they do. (Then again, who wouldn't be happy working right next to the water?). We've never had to wait an unreasonable amount of time for our meals (even on a Friday dinner), and Kevin (our most recent server) was spot-on with drink refills and menu recommendations.On our most recent visit there was a gentleman on the stage playing guitar and singing. It lent a fun, laid back element to an already great experience.Kevin also informed us that if we were to ever go on a fishing trip and caught something, Rusty's will process and cook the fish for you for only $7.99 a pound. That, alone, makes me want to do that very thing the next time we head to Port Canaveral for a cruise.One of the highlights of our pre-cruise routine is our visit to Rusty's. Whether for a late lunch or dinner, it's on our Must Do list. Now I just need to book a cruise that leaves from Port Canaveral.

Very nice place for great seafood. The selections were good, and the prices were competitive. The food was well prepared and done right. Mixed drinks are available. Our server was attentive, though busy. There was a guy playing guitar and singing who was talented and a great singer. The music was not too loud. The restaurant is right on the port.

Awesome service. Very friendly staff. The food is out of sight good. My wife had the Captain's seafood platter and I had the early bird sirloin steak. The platter is so big. My steak was cooked to perfection. Our server Tamra was great. Well worth a stop. We will be back for more.

Great vibes, food was fresh and service was awesome. Matt was fast and efficient. excellent views, we saw dolphins in the the whole time. Oysters were a big hit, they were very fresh. Fish and chips were perfectly cooked. The one item that wasn't great was the clam strips wouldn't recommend. Overall had an excellent time and will definitely be back.

Started dinner with 2 orders of bacon wrapped scallops. Each skewer comes with 5. Sorry the photo was not taken in time. They are too good to let sit! The main entrees were shrimp pasta, and fish & chips. Shrimp was firm and flavorful. Pasta had lots of garlic. Fish was flounder. Lightly breaded. Fries crisp and well seasoned. Dessert was key lime pie to go. Fantastic!, but the best part of the meal was the bacon wrapped scallops!! 👍 👍Thanks to Rusty's for hosting the Nasa Spaceflight port camera!

Knowing we were docking at Port Canaveral, we decided to get off the ship and have some lunch. After careful consideration, we chose Rusty's cause we wanted raw oysters. This was a nice relaxed spot, and our server was Cole. He was absolutely amazing! Would definitely return in the future due to good food and great people.

First time eating lunch here. I was craving calm chowder and it was delicious. Live singer which was nice especially at lunch hour didn’t have to wait for dinner like most places. Great atmosphere! The server was also nice. Will definitely come again.

We were seated on a nice deck overlooking the water and our cruise ship nearby. It was a nice 5-10 min walk from the ship.We had $6 Margaritas, Parmesan Oysters and a bowl of NE Clam Chowder.Little heavy on the parmesan, but everything was v tasty and the drinks were perfect. Our Server Tyler made sure we had everything we needed. Chill vibe and friendly. Nice job! They also had a young lady playing the guitar and singing as well, which we much enjoyed.The menu was reasonably priced and had a good variety. We will be back.

Very nice place with great marina view. Service was extremely fast.Clam chowder was perfectly done. We had a raw oysters on the half shell - they were huge and delicious, but better to be cleaner.The only thing I really don't like about this place is the drafts were everywhere, I couldn't find a place without them. Because of this I can't really enjoyed my time and food, I was frozen.Anyway, this is a good place, but probably for a hot weather.

Great location, great view (right on the water), live music which was great and not too loud, excellent service, and my wife and I both got the crab legs which were delicious.We got lucky and were having dinner during a rocket launch so we got to see the launch happen right in front of us and the boosters land back down.There was also a dock cat that came by our table and paid us a little visit.

The bacon wrapped scallops was good. It comes with a fries and a salad. We just did not like the ketchup they put for the fries. I loved their strawberry margarita too. I liked the ambiance by the bay. We’re just a little upset with the service because we requested a change of table since we’re given a table good for a family when it’s just the 2 of us when from the beginning, we were asked by the frontdesk our preference already and the fact that the sun was towards us that time. Although the server was kind enough to lower down the other umbrella to give us more shade. We couldn’t just believe that they can’t do us the favor of changing tables when we saw there’s one available. My husband went to the frontdesk but he was refused to because they said they already contacted some customers in queue that the table was available even though they’re not aware yet what table they got so basically, it was just so easy to swap tables. So that’s why we ended up ordering just one meal and went somewhere else after.

Service here was great! The food was just okay. Three people ordered the steak, and all three were cooked wrong. There was live music that we all enjoyed. Plus, it's a good atmosphere 👌

Awesome food and service! Gator tacos, oysters Bernard, raw oysters, all awesome! They had great drinks, and our server was so on point. Close to the cruise ship terminal. I'd definitely recommend you try this. I was too busy enjoying to take photos. I came back the next day. Here's some photos.

Great experience tonight. Took a little while to get a seat, but the service and the food were very good. Parmasean oysters were awesome. Chowder was good as well. Mac and cheese bites, crab legs, and mashed potatoes were all very good. Didn't care for the Jamaican chicken. Little dry. Normally, I would give 4 stars, but the military discount they give increases my rating to a 5. Very appreciative.

We had a great meal and really enjoyed sitting outside on a nice night. We came to town for a cruise and decided to check this place out. It's was so delicious. I loved my shrimp with capers. Oh! It was so good. He had the Seared Ahi Tuna and it was melt in your mouth. The salad was fresh and the blue cheese was good to. We definitely enjoyed it. First thing we did of course was grad a ice cold beer and a dozen raw oysters! Yum!

Enjoyed the outdoor seating. Service was great. Had the ahi tuna and scallops. They picture 5 but only give you 4. Really expensive at $14. Seared ahi was very good. Enjoyed the early bird shrimp scampi and the chicken dish. Great value on those.

This is one of the Port Canaveral restaurants adjacent to the cruise terminal, which can be dicey on a Saturday night as it can be very busy. Something else to be aware of is Rusty's doesn't take reservations; it's first come, first served.We were fortunate enough to get a spot in front of the restaurant and even more fortunate to be seated immediately. The decor is pretty much what you'd expect at a dockside restaurant. The menu has a well-rounded selection of seafood offerings, both grilled and fried. Tonight's special was the Surf n Turf with a substitution of a lobster tail for an extra $4. Sold! It also includes a side salad, which I had the key-lime vinaigrette. My wife kept it simple with a bowl of New England clam chowder and a spinach salad. We also ordered the recommended Gator Bites as an appetizer.As it was very busy, our food did take some time, but it was still a reasonable wait. Everything looked good when it came out. The Gator Bites had a spicy dip that was very good. The sirloin was tender but a little flat on the taste, but the lobster made up for it. My wife's clam chowder was good, and her salad was very good with the house vinaigrette.Overall, we had a good time. The service was excellent and the food was good. Enjoy!

Rusty’s is my go to place for fresh oysters. They never miss! The horseradish they have comes with a warning but man it will light you up. I also really like the seared tuna. It just doesn’t get any fresher than the tuna they have here. Service is always quick and courteous too. One of my faves…Keep an eye out, you may just see a SpaceX rocket booster being towed in!

My new favorite seafood spot! It was so good, we came back 1 week later! ❤️ Great atmosphere! Patio is key! We all loved the salt scrub in the bathrooms. Fresh frosty pint glasses with each beer 🍻

We were looking for a place to eat but with so many closed for the 4th it was hard. We found this gem and loved it! Great staff working here with great tasty food! One of our new favorites in Coco beach! By far our new favorite for seafood!

We had the mussels as an appetizer and WOW! We were all impressed. Generous serving. Entree’s- Tuna , excellent; crab cakes, good not great, hamburger- very good. Will definitely go back.

Excellent food and service! Even the chicken tenders were great. The fried green tomatoes are excellent. However, drinks are pricey. $10 glass of wine, $10 mixed drink, $5 for a short draft. Also, drinks are not included in kids meals. We will definitely return though. (Pictured is the triple tail special)

Delicious food. Best creamy clam chowder, full of ...clams! Great mixed drinks. Food portions generous. Everything we had was fresh, homemade taste. Outdoor and indoor seating, clean, tidy, nice atmosphere. Definitely a favorite place.

So amazing i went back to back nights. First night i had the oysters, Connecticut lobster rolls with fries and a side of the fried green tomatoes second night i started with the calamari, then dolphin Rueben with a side cup of clam chowder. All phenomenal!! The service is top notch, the place is small but there is an outdoor seating area. The vibes inside are great! Have enough TVs to watch sporting events. Definitely a must visit when in Cocoa beach.

This place was a good choice.The lobster roll was perfect, the beers good and all our dishes did not dissapointed.The place is huge and thanks to their big doors and windows it feels like an open barn.No doubt you should try it!

Casual spot to grab some yummy seafood. My Mahi Reuben was tasty with plenty of fish on the sandwich. My wife had the lobster roll and clam chowder. She said both were very good. Note the lobster roll is sold at market price, which can make it pricey, but there was a lot of lobster in the roll.

This place was great! We set outside in the covered eating area. The food was fantastic. Got starters we got the conch fritters. These were so good. They didn’t last long lol. I got the scallops and shrimp. Man was I blown away by the portions. The scallops was huge and so delicate. They just melted in your mouth. Accompanied with the large shrimp, the side of rice and the coleslaw I was full when I left. I also grabbed a side of hush puppies. They were good. The oil wasn’t fishy, it didn’t taste burnt. Putting the butter on the hot hush puppies and you’ll be happy. The wife had the lobster roll that was filled with large chunks of lobster, she couldn’t eat it all. Add to the roll a nice hot bowl of clam Chowder and she was in her happy place. Was the first time here and was not disappointed! Almost forgot, the Bloody Mary hit the spot! It’s a must try too.

Really delicious! Shrimp were perfect. Tender and juicy with a crunch! Outdoor seating was lovely. Service was excellent. We watched a group next to us get a lobster and it was HUGE. The server assisted with cracking it open and big chunks of juicy meat slid out. Will get that next time!

Hands down best Seafood Ever!! Calamari was the MOST AMAZING that I HAVE EVER HAD!!!! Captians Platter delicious, so much! Best Margaritas 🍹! It was worth every dollar! WAITERS, SERVERS WAITRESSES, COOKS & BARTENDER SOLID As A ROCK! !

The food was very good. Not quite 5 stars, but very good. The outdoor patio seating was just what we wanted for a relaxed lunch and drinks after an afternoon at the beach. Extensive bar menu, with a nice list of beer options, ciders, and IPAs. Ironically, we ended up NOT trying the lobster. But the mussels, shrimp and Mahi were all fantastic. The sides were the underwhelming part, except for the hushpuppies. Those were also great.

*Ate here again before vacation was over, so adding pictures and more food.*The ahi tuna was absolutely fantastic, and the sauce it comes with pulls it over the top. The grilled shrimp in a scampi sauce is perfection. The macaroni salad and rice are great sides for the dish, too. The calamari is perfect and is what I expected out of a coastal place. Team Jazzy was absolutely phenomenal and took care of our party of nine. Kyle hunted down some hot sauces for us.You can usually get good food or good service with a genuine smile, but it's rare to get both. Jazzy offers just that.

I wish I was a Florida citizen because then I'd be coming here every day.This place is so cozy and friendly. The servers were so kind, and the food was impeccable! I will forever dream about the amazing hush puppies that I had and the mussels!The raw oysters were so good as well! The drinks were out of this world! I got the wild berry margarita and spiked lemonade.The fried shrimp were so good!It's worth the price, and I'd spend 388282 dollars if I could. I have to go back to my state, knowing I'll never have this food again.The sadness is real. :(

Great atmosphere and probably the best option for good quality food at a decent price. The blackened mahi mahi was delicious. They also make their own spicy sauces and the peach one was really good.

We were looking for a place with New England style seafood by the beach and this restaurant fit the bill. Thankfully we were not disappointed in coming here. The clam chowder was pretty good, and the hot buttered lobster roll was the best I've found in Florida. The only thing I found odd is that the Connecticut style (hot buttered) lobster roll comes with lettuce, but I've never had a lobster roll anywhere in Connecticut that serves it that way. I just ordered it and told them no lettuce and it was exactly what I expected. They had a decent amount of indoor and outdoor seating depending on your mood and/or weather. I definitely would recommend this place for anyone looking for a good lobster roll at a reasonable price.

Friendly stuff and prompt service. Food was delicious. They have hot or cold Lobster rolls. Chowder soup was a welcome treat for that cold day. Lots of parking. Side patio with shade.

Amazing handling of the fish fillets. We went to this place for oysters, unfortunately they didn’t have it that day. So we tried the ahi tuna steak and tripletail. They were both amazing. For the ahi tuna, we’ve never seen it cooked this way and it tasted great. For the tripletail, their cooking technique was so great that all of the juice of the fish was preserved, while maintaining the crispness of the surface.

As a Montana tourist, I was delighted to indulge in some delicious, fresh seafood. This restaurant did not disappoint. Food was excellent! I had the blackened mahi mahi, which was perfectly prepared and very flavorful. The Cole slaw and onion rings were fantastic. (The dish came with a big basketof onion rings, more than the photo shows.) My friends shared the Captain’s Platter and enjoyed it all, especially the hush puppies.

Group of 5 went to celebrate my brother's bday. Food and ambience were great. Right on the water. Definitely enjoyed the food. You've gotta try a shark kebab and the cold beer hit the spot. Can't wait to go next time I'm in town

The breakfast is amazing!! When we arrived at 10:30 I wasn’t expecting breakfast. They have breakfast, lunch & dinner. Give them a try. The first dish is Daniels Seafood Omelet minus the mushrooms they forgot to put the hollandaise sauce over it but it was still great and I had a side of cheese grits which were so delicious! The other dish is Shotgun Start. Definitely good place to try.

Lots is seating both indoor and outdoor. Great service (although we were brought the wrong food Initially). Grilled Fish and Cheese sandwich- very good but could have used more seasoning. Hurricane Burger with Cheese - great taste, ordered it Medium and it was medium rare. Views are great.

After driving by this place a couple times on our way back to our hotel we decided we had to try it. They are located right on the water and have plenty of outdoor seating. We just happened to be there on a night that SpaceX was launching a rocket so we walked out on their dock to watch... AWESOME! Our server was great...he recommended the margarita and it didn't disappoint...very good! All of the food items we tried were also delicious. We'd definitely come back again if we are in the area.

The server Jennifer was not very attentive , appetizer came out with dinner 😡 taters was undercooked.My long Island sucked and the wife's margarita was very good. Views are outstanding and live singer was good.

The grilled cobia fish was great .. all the sides were good. Good atmosphere sitting out on the deck by the river. The shrimp appetizer was good. Was the best restaurant we ate at overall for our Melbourne beach stay. Wish it would have been closer to our beachfront hotel .. we would have ate here more times

My first time here and I will definitely go back. Stopped for breakfast and I love it. The seafood omelet is the best in Brevard. Maybe the only one has it. So delicious. I didn't want to leave the place as it was calm and relaxing, mostly from the seaview. Super friendly staff, quick services and affordable prices. Highly recommended.

Great atmosphere, and the food is tasty but there’s issues. $14 for a super tiny shrimp poke that barely has any shrimp, so I’m just paying for rice and carrots. They charged me an extra $1.50 for some extra sauce. My hubs got a nice portion burger but the chips were soggy. Wish the food experience was better here.

Laid back restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating where you can wave at the cruise ships as they leave for a unique experience. Very atmospheric, perfect way to get more amped up for our cruise! Service was wonderful, friendly, and fast. Food was awesome and had a decent variety. We had the peel and eat shrimp which was very, very good. Husband loved his burger, and I absolutely devoured the tahitian tuna poke! I will dream of this dish and the coconut rice!

Nice restaurant with tons of great menu choices, cool atmosphere, and quite the fun crowd with love music. Lots of good drinks and dishes. Service is fast and our server was also very friendly. We were even visited by a frog during our outdoor dining experience! Recommend the Southwest Salad, Chicken Sandwiches, and Shrimp Dishes!

Grills Riverside 6075 N. US Hwy. 1, Melbourne, FL 329403 Stars (local chain restaurant review)According to their website, Grills Riverside in Melbourne opened in 2010 and was the second in the three-location chain (there is one in Port Canaveral, the first which opened in 1997 and another in Orlando). This location is accessible by car or boat. I figure that if they have been in business for 13 years in this spot and over 25 in general they must be doing something right. However, I forced myself to be ephectic as I didn't want to jump to any conclusions.After 7 years and over 500 reviews, if a person pays attention, you will begin seeing the same ingredients over and over again from the same vendors. I strongly suggest you watch closely if you haven't been to this point. It becomes a battle of execution. Great chefs can make crap taste great, average cooks can be hit or miss and lazy slop slingers can make a bad situation worse.Thankfully, Grills Riverside falls in the middle. These ingredients are bottom-of-the-barrel quality. However, on this day and at this time, my items were a hit, not a miss. My dining companions feel I'm being too generous with the three stars, but for what I ordered it is accurate.Sasha is our server today and she did an outstanding job. She was pleasant, knowledgeable and on point for the entire meal. I put in an order for the Hurricane Burger with Cheese, Fish tacos, a Shrimp Cuban and some sesame-seared tuna. Kicking back and taking in the view, I snapped a few pictures of the place and awaited Sasha's return.Before long Sasha was seen approaching with our order; after taking some pics of the food, I got to work. First up was the Hurricane Cheeseburger. While the burger was cooked to order, the cheese must have been put on as an afterthought, as it certainly wasn't melted on the grill. The bun was average.The Fish tacos looked far better than they presented on the palate. They weren't bad, just bland. The salsa was obviously not fresh and tasted like it was straight off the Sysco truck.Moving on to the Shrimp Cuban. I found this to be spicy but delicious with perfect execution. This was really spot-on and tasty. The bread was grilled to a perfect golden brown, and the shrimp, while bottom shelf quality was tender and tasty.The last item up for review was the Sesame seared tuna. I was surprised at the freshness of the tuna as most of my experience with this dish has been at Thai clip joints where the freshness of the fish is suspect, to say the least.The Big Boy says, “As usual, great views equate to average food. Nothing to write home about, nothing to complain about.”

We really enjoyed our first visit to Grills Riverside. We were seated at a front view table. Our waitress thoroughly explained the menu and promptly brought our drinks. The coconut shrimp appetizer we ordered was delicious. We look forward to coming again when we can enjoy an entire meal.

Great place by the water! Wonderful scenery and service. The food was great and the staff were very helpful.

Great atmosphere, friendly staff, great rock shrimp, and the seared tuna sashimi were fantastic. It's definitely a good spot. Update: the CAT5 burger is pretty good.

I think my favorite part of my meal was the crushed lays potato chips until they got unfortunately soggy after sitting in pickle and onion juice. The shark tastes strikingly similar to the mahi, so if you come here, just order the mahi as a substitute for shark. The shark could easily be used as a fish flavored chewing gum if you are in the mood though! Service was ✨interesting✨. Coming from a server, I could tell that my server has been serving for a long time and is losing the light at the end of the tunnel with each shift. I pray for anyone who comes to this restaurant.

Very noisy on the deck, tables seem to be very close together so you have to listen to the next table's conversations whether you want to or not! Much better inside seating. Food not exceptional, but enjoyable. Have been there previously a few years ago and had a better experience. Very popular place and very busy so you have to time your arrival just right or stand in a queue to be seated.

We ate here for the first time tonight. It was so fabulous! We showed up without a reservation and the said they were full, but then Jansen chased us down in the parking lot to tell us they would fit us in. We’ve never had such amazing service in our life! Casey was our server and he was so amazing! He was so knowledgeable about all of the cuisines! He was unbelievable attentive. If you would like to visit a high end restaurant while in Cocoa Beach, this place is amazing!

What a charming delicious place to dine! First time and completely over the moon to have discovered this absolute gem of a restaurant. Impeccable service, thoughtful menu featuring modern preparation of classics - with some new innovative new cuisine too. We were so impressed with our starters (oysters & Mexican street corn deviled eggs) and then our entrees arrived - my gosh, totally blown away. My duck was cooked to a perfect temperature and the crispy duck skin - fabulous! Go support this locally owned adorable delicious spot.

The place was not busy on a weekday, but make sure to have a reservation. It’s a very casual restaurant with execrations staff. They are friendly and explained the menu well and gave great recommendations. The food was very good, especially the wild blue crab feature. The Caribbean corn bread is a MUST. The Creole Shrimp and scallop was also very good. The fresh catch fish with coconut rice was ok. We got the spiced chocolate moose for dessert, I would not get it. It was hard and a bit spicy. The drinks (mostly wines) were amazing too. Overall a great place.

Went on a Wednesday evening. Parking is a bit hectic in the front. Service was exceptional and food was phenomenal. I really enjoyed their freshly made mango iced tea. For apps, my favorite were the mussels, crab cake special and the scallops. Would personally forgo the oysters next time as a oyster lover. Main course was the poblano pesto shrimp and it was amazing!! The grits are so creamy and buttery and the chorizo oil they drizzle over is to die for. Would def recommend.

The Fat Snook, 2464 S. Atlantic Ave., Cocoa Beach, FL, 329315 Stars***New BBDO Numero Uno***After hearing nothing but good things about The Fat Snook in Cocoa Beach, I was excited when the name spewed from my random name generator. Other than hearing the food was delectable, I also read that they have been dedicated to supporting local food purveyors...no Industrial Food Service? I'm so there!Gina is the waiter this evening, and let me tell you, she is incredible. She is now the new Number One server for the 3Q with a month to go. Game over. Thanks for playing. Gina performed her duties as one who truly loves helping people explore dining at its finest and not one under the guise of an ancient wedbedrip. My only regret is that I did not record her exemplary performance as a lesson to all who come after her. From menu knowledge to effective food presentation, Gina had it all. Maybe it helped that the food was so good, but I have a sneaky feeling Gina could turn a dining experience at your local Waffle House into a black-tie affair, though I find it hard to believe she would spend any amount of time jousting with an unreasonable customer request.I asked Gina for one order of the Yellow Fin Tuna and the Amber Jack Sriracha Mussels. Before I even try to describe the array of flavors laid before me, could you look at the pictures? If I rated on presentation alone, this would be 5 Stars, and I would be done. However, as we all know, all I care about is execution. Hey, someone has to taste this stuff!One bite of the Yellow Fin, and I knew I was in the presence of a master chef. I have rarely had any fish taste so extraordinary. The combination of the fresh vegetables and mandarin oranges assured me I had left the ordinary and stepped into the fine dining promised land. I don't know how else to explain it other than it was otherworldly, complex, delightful, and comprised of flavors I didn't know could be combined to achieve such edible bliss.Forcing myself to move on, I placed a forkful of the Amber Jack into my mouth and died a little right there. If the Yellow Fin was all that, this was the bag of chips. The chef used an orange peel to offset the heat of the sriracha and in so doing turned a mild fish into a dazzling array of flavor layers you would expect to find in a Big City seafood joint as opposed to mild-mannered Brevard County.The Big Boy says, “Hands down, new Number One. You need to go. They book through Open Table. Ask for Gina.”

I am convinced that Jesus Christ himself is a chef here!! Our server was excellent and guided us meticulously through the extravagant menu. For the appetizer, we went with the crab spring roll special which was so crispy and saucy with a corn and sweet chili sauce. For the entrees, we chose the fresh catch fish and the creole seasoned shrimp and scallops. For a side, we went with the cornbread which was smothered in butter that complemented it perfectly. Everything was cooked to perfection and the meals had never ending flavors that brought it all together. This was one of the best meals we ever had and it was worth every penny.

Well everyone already knows this is an excellent restaurant. But I wanted to say that I have some special dietary requirements and not only did they accommodate them, but they made a special dish unlike any I had ever had, some kind of pan fried avocado/pasta/coconut something or other. It was very thoughtful. And of course the normal menu is always fantastic. Thanks y’all!

A lovely place to dine in Cocoa Beach. I highly recommend a visit here if you are in town. I suggest a reservation to assure you can get in. This is probably the best restaurant in the greater Cocoa Beach area!A nice variety of excellently prepared specialties with two fish specials each evening. I suggest the Mexican street corn deviled eggs are a must as well as one of the fish specials. The pork belly was also outstanding.

Five star food - the service was rough, but they were busy and might have been short staffed.Date night - started with the Mexican Street Corn Deviled Eggs - they were awesome. They brought us an amuse bouche of some kind of tuna tartare, not entirely sure, but it was great.She had the Yellowtail/fin Tuna special with red pepper succotash, I had the Swordfish over a sriracha sauce with potatoes. I tried both, the tuna was better. Both were described as locally sourced and fresh.Food was reasonably priced, drinks were a little on the steep end. They serve still and sparkling water, both from glass bottles. No plastics in sight if that's your thing.I'd absolutely recommend The Fat Snook for a date night. Small complaint - it's super loud in there. But it's a small joint with wooden floors and sparse walls, so everything echoes.One last note - there was an extra tip line for the Kitchen staff. They describe their kitchen as a "scratch kitchen" which is a nice buzzword I hear all over these days. I don't mind tipping to the kitchen, and gave them 10% over the 20% for our waitress - but I'm deducting a star because obviously tipping is getting wild now, and I'd prefer to know the staff were getting a living wage rather than relying on additional "optional" tips. If staff is getting a full living wage, put that on the receipt so I'm not sitting there scratching my head on what the right thing to do is. In retrospect I should have given the kitchen 20% and the waitress 10%. /shrugOh, and parking is a bit of an issue. But what are you gonna do? Nbd.Still a big recommend.

Fantastic. We were able to secure an easy reservation by booking on OpenTable. Upon arrival, the staff was super friendly and seated us right away. Our server did a fantastic job of going over the specials and explaining the dishes. Our food arrived faster than any other fine dining restaurant I have ever been to. The presentation was incredible. The sauce in the red snapper dish was slightly spicy. I loved it, but maybe a bit much for my wife. The shrimp and scallops over dirty rice was outstanding. Every part of the dish was delicious. Dessert was great as well and arrived in minutes.I just want to focus on the service for a moment. This place gets it. This was the best service I have experienced in a very long time. The whole staff worked as one unit. Our drinks were never empty. We felt at home from start to finish. Various staff members wished us a good evening when leaving, including holding the door open for us.If you're looking for a great dining experience in Cocoa Beach, this is your spot without question.

If you've been looking for a culinary dining experience with superb service, look no further. You must try The Fat Snook. What an absolute delight!! Happy hour is Monday through Friday 4-6. Be sure to make a reservation. They do have indoor and outdoor seating. Ok, what are you waiting for...make that reservation...you won't be disappointed!

This is a gem on A1A in Cocoa Beach. Scratch kitchen with incredible food, especially the seafood and desserts, key lime is delicious. Atmosphere is cozy and upscale but kid friendly as well. Service has always been very good. Great selection of beer and wine, note they do not have full bar. Parking can be a bit of a challenge but usually you can find a spot. Literally that’s the only knock I have on the restaurant. I’ll keep going back.

We decided to find a local place for our anniversary dinner. This was truly a gem and it made for such a beautiful dinner. Tanner was our server, he is wonderful. Loves his job and loves providing excellent customer service. We had the steak and snapper special. With a side of corn bread. Absolutely delicious. Thank you for the kind note, special drink and experience. We will be back again. Tanner you’re the best.

Hands down the absolute best restaurant in Cocoa Beach. Family owned and operated with outstanding service. The food will leave you speechless because the flavors in each bite are endless. And not to forget, their wine selection, WOW!

The staff was absolutely wonderful. Our waiter was extremely knowledgeable and patient with all of our questions. The kitchen staff sent out small sample dishes which was very nice and unexpected.The menu is small and runs a high price tag. The food all sounds great but lacked the extra flavor to make the dishes worth it. They do not have a liquor license so only beer and wine. If we return to the area we would try elsewhere.

As tourists visiting Cocoa Beach from Canada, our meal at Fat Snook was the highlight of our trip. The food was excellent and exceeded our expectations. We shared various starters, entrees, and desserts - everything was delicious. Also, the dishes were unique - the scallop dish with candied bacon and the roasted raisin salad were innovative and highly impressive. The prices were fair for the quality of the food and service.A special shout out to our server, Casey, who was exceptionally welcoming, kind, and charming. He made the experience even more special.Overall, a very memorable meal. Thank you to the staff at Fat Snook. If you’re looking for a nicer meal in the Cocoa Beach area, give this a try; you won’t be disappointed!

A casual spot right in the middle of the boardwalk.The view is stunning! Seeing the waves crash and the sun set is one of the most beautiful spots to catch a drink and simple meal.It’s a beach tourist spot. It isn’t for someone looking for anything more than a laid back, expensive and under whelming meal.m with a great view!If this place existed anywhere other than the pier, it just might not survive. But it’s a great location and so fun to take company to to see the sights, feel the salty air and have some seafood.The fish dip is cold… had we read the menu more clearly it would not have been ordered. However! The flavor was pretty good and the chips were salty. Basic but enjoyable.The coconut shrimp are heavy on coconut flavor with a good crunch. Always a must order here.The drinks are fairly strong and very fruity! Great if you have a sweet tooth.Even though this place has a very basic menu with absolutely no unique offerings and your usual high prices for something very underwhelming.. Pelicans is still a place we should all go to when you are showing off cocoa beach to friends and family

We had the gator tail Burger and the lobster roll. Food is very fresh. Lobster roll is cheaper than we had in a comparable restaurant in Boston. My first time to try gator, not sure whether I like it or not. The view is fantastic. Watching people playing on the beach or surfing while having lunch and a few drinks is enjoyable.

Last Monday we had lunch at this place. We choose this place obviously because of the nice view. For appetizers crispy calamari, my partner had florida gator melt, my son had pier burger, I had grilled grouper sandwich. The drink was cider and mango daiquiri. I forgot to take a pics other foods but all was good on our experience and our waiter “Harvey” he was attentive and friendly 👍🏻

AMAZING FOOD & SERVICE! They do not have a separate kids menu but as soon the waiter came up he let us know what they do for kids food. My husband ordered tacos & the Nashville hot chicken sandwich both were great. I ordered the shrimp po boy, to DIE for! We have had a great experience!

Our first trip to the Coco Beach Pier. love that this restaurant is right on the water. We were able to eat on the top deck and enjoy the sun and breeze. The staff members were so friendly, very attentive.our entrees were amazing! Oh, that view!

The restaurant is located in the middle of the pier. Full outdoor bar and restaurant. Covered seating with sun and shade. Shrimp appetizers were the best and enough for 3 people. From your table you look out at the ocean and beach. Good drinks. Reasonably priced. Dogs that are service animals allowed. 2 sets of bathrooms on pier.

We were in the area for vacation and work for 2 weeks. This was a top favorite spot for food, drinks, play and atmosphere. 💯 And it was chilly and windy. Still a blast! And 1 Tesla charger that was open as a bonus. Thrilled to get the needed free boost while we were there!

This place is amazing. I got their Pier 62 sushi roll and it was phenomenal. They also had amazing drinks which my whole family enjoyed.Aside from the food, the service was really great. We could tell that they were a little understaffed because it was slower than we would have liked, but the space they were serving was huge and they were working really hard to make our experience enjoyable. I know some reviews say the service was bad and I dont know what happened between their experience and ours, but it was amazing when we went.The atmosphere was very chill and friendly. They had fun music playing and the servers were friendly and patient when we asked them a million questions about the menu. Our server was Johnathan, who was very curtious and thoughtful, making us feel welcome.Lastly, the view was impeccable. The pier extended very far into the ocean, revealing a wondeous view of the horizon, beach, surfers and also the rocket launching starion. This place would have been a fantastic viewing spot for a launch. We were on the beach for it, but we wished we had been on the pier for a better view.I give this place a five star review because of their amazing food, service, atmosphere and view.

*This is an "I'm just getting sum"n to eat place"*Took the family here for lunch. Some of my kids have shellfish allergies so the waitress filled out a form to ensure their meals was cooked away from ours. I loved that part. Anyways the food was Ok not good not bad just ok. The view was excellent and the staff was nice but the food was nothing to brag about. I order the shrimp roll and NEVER in A MILLION years would I thought it was gonna be a scoop of mashed seafood on top of a slice of bread. BUT surprisingly it was kind of good. The bread was toasted and had a garlic flavor. The seafood dip was ok. My daughter loved the chips, son loved his burger, steak and wings. My kids said the fries taste like hashbrowns. Thats a good thing coming from them. My husband said the fish tacos were ok and the Maryland crab cakes were good. The drinks was good as well strong and flavourful.

This is the best restaurant option at the Cocoa Beach Pier. Out over the breaking waves with large view windows and air conditioning.Watch the surfers and the shore birds up close with a full bar and multiple televisions.Keeping it simple for lunch, the cheeseburger was over cooked but tasty, and the fries were amazing. Their spin on tuna poke was presented more like tuna takaki, not cubed as it should be so they should rename or reevaluate this dish.Great frozen drinks and service, and what a view of the beach. I have seen them post better dishes, but we just wanted a simple lunch and a frozen drink that day. This high rating is mostly about location, location, air conditioning.Taste ***Quality/Freshness ***Presentation/Uniqueness ***Service ****Atmosphere *****Bar ****Cleanliness ****Price $$$

My 3rd trip to this restaurant and everything is amazing! Service is consistently good, but not pushy,.prices are reasonable and food portions are excellent size for the price! I had the chowder fries and grouper sandwich this trip. Chowder fries were surprisingly good! Grouper sandwich was delicious as always.

It's hard to say enough good things about the changes at the Cocoa Beach Pier this year, and the restaurant and its revamped menu is certainly one of them. The new items and the ones that have returned are all surprising and really good, often elevated.Simple bites exist, like oysters and shrimp and wings, along with a variety of poke bowls and superb fish tacos. The burgers are a perfect example of the elevated version of a traditional classic, with different cheeses and sauces, and even a wagyu beef burger that is exceptional.Wash it all down with classic tropical drinks from top notch bartenders who are trusted to do their jobs and do them well.The view from the window inside is really something, because instead of being on the oceanfront, you are actually right over the water. Even better (though windier and sometimes hotter, sometimes colder) views can be found under the umbrellas outside.Highly recommended dining spot.

On all reviews we read about the area, they all said go to the pier. The view from inside is amazing! It was too windy for us to sit outside. The menu is so vast, which offers something for everyone. We got the tuna nachos as an appetizer. They was great! Good options for kids menu as well. Don’t expect a variety of domestic beers. However, a wide variety of well drinks. All the seafood we got was fresh and flavorful. The fries are different, and not your typical fries. The only down side was our server wasn’t the most attentive. However, she was having to cover the inside and outside. If you’re in the area try it.

I like to lead with positives. The view is really amazing. You are directly on the beach. The seating is very confusing if you're a larger party, and we called ahead. We were 7 people but not allowed to sit inside where we wanted to originally because two people in our party were on their way and not there yet. The seating out back really only accommodates two to three people. And the front seating can accommodate more but they were very particular about where we sat because you're not allowed to move chairs or be seated in certain areas. It was really strange.The menu is diverse. The quality of the food is somewhere between fast food and sports bar. For the pricing you just kind of expect a little more. The sushi came out almost instantaneously and tasted like it was pre-made which is fine if you're getting sushi from a Publix. The gator burger seemed really interesting but really had no taste to the patty at all. It was void of any kind of seasoning from what I could tell. The lobster roll was decent but also and extreme amount of butter. The bill for 5 of us with drinks was a little over $250. Two of those people being children so they didn't eat much.

The location, service and atmosphere is great. The food is hit or miss and is pricey. The burnt ends Mac and cheese had nothing but fat piece in the Mac and cheese and definitely was not worth the price. Sushi was a hit with our picky daughter, kids Mac and cheese supposed to come with fries and never received them. The restaurant puts their heart and soul into their seafood dishes. Non seafood dishes leave you desiring more.

I liked the atmosphere here.You can drink co*cktails and eat with a view of the ocean.I paid $18 for shrimps, and $14 for the co*cktail.I didn't like the taste of the shrimp at all.co*cktails are too sweet.My friends ordered burgers and rated the taste as 5 out of 10.

The food was fabulous. The views were outstanding. My waitress was awesome. Highly recommend this place. With regards to parking. I had already paid for parking at the beach so I walked 20 minutes to the resturant. If it was not so windy I would have walked back via the beach. I also visited on a Wed afternoon so it was not crowded.

Food and seating outside was fabulous. The service was pretty much non-existent. I think our waitress might’ve had tables inside and outside, which is not good planning on management’s part.Food was excellent. Just wish service was better for a $56 (plus tip) lunch for 2 people. We are locals and not sure I’ll be back.

Had sushi and a salad. A decent sushi bar and the salad was tasty. It was a bit on the expensive side but it is a very touristy place. Westgate has done a nice job with the remodel of the place. The lighting could be a little more subtle to create a more relaxed vibe in the evening. The bright white LED lights make it feel like you are dining in a bar during last call at 2am. It the weather was nicer we would have dined outside and it would have been much nicer. The outdoor bar is really a nice set up.

Excellent food and drinks (the rum bucket was quite tasty) and great service as well. The blackened grouper tacos were some of the best fish tacos I've had! The wife got the deep fried grouper sandwich and it was enormous, well fried, and delicious. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area.

Once we got waited on, which took a very long time, the service was good. Ordered the chorizo queso to start and they don't give you enough chips for the dip, but the queso was really good. I ordered the burnt ends Mac and cheese, and the Mac and cheese was great but their so called burnt ends weren't burnt ends at all just hunks of pork with absolutely no flavor. The chowder was the best part of the meal. My husband ordered the fried shrimp and fries and he really liked it. Our daughter and granddaughter liked their meals okay. I just think for $200 it would have been better

Amazing views! I felt like I was at a restaurant in Maine! Would have been great views of the rocket launch however it was postponed! Restaurant, plus pier to fish from no charge, and additional outdoor seating at bar and lots of area to view launches, fish or site see under the bridge! Will go again

Gotta be honest, the best part of this place is that the bartender was friendly.The rare Delmonico Ribeye that I ordered came out medium well, close to well, lukewarm carrots, the steak wasn’t even warm enough to melt the butter. There was just as much fat & gristle as there was meat.Spraying the cleaner on the bar while guests are eating is very annoying and as appealing as the meal was.I wouldn’t recommend this place and I wouldn’t return.Edit: No, the first steak that came out was Medium WELL to WELL not MR. I find your response absolutely unprofessional. Not willing to take responsibility for a bad chef. Other comments have been made that your wait staff is afraid of him and don’t like returning things to him. Yes, I was given 50% discount and it still wasn’t enough.I gave you 2 stars which is generous.

I would have gave 5 stars if my steak was cooked properly. Asked for med well, received med rare. 2nd round not much better, so manager had new steak cooked, which was appreciated, but my date was finished eating by then. Server did okay, but was not particularly friendly. Social.Nice place, but a bit low key.Went to comedy club. Was a good time, but comedians were just so so.

Incredible service, amazing food!! The pan seared grouper over coconut, pumpkin rissoto with a cucumber red pepper slaw with spicy lemon butter sauce was awesome!! Highly recommended!! Wonderful ambiance and the wait for our food was short.Sampled the jumbo shrimp with crab stuffing and the special entree of the day, the lamb chops. Both were fantastic!!

If I could give more than 5 stars I would. Let's Starr with our waitress. She was absolutely Amazing. Suggested co*cktails and were very good & decently strong. Then the bread.. OMG was nice hot and fresh. Probably some of the best bread I've had at a restuarant.Now let's get to the main course. I had the Delmonico Steak with asparagus. It was cooked to perfection & was so juicy & flavorful. My friend and I also shared the double lobster tail with a twice baked potato. The potatoe was the best I've had but be careful there is bacon in it and we don't eat bacon. Then she had the crab stuffed shrimp & scallops. Also Amazing.Unfortunately we were too full for dessert but another couple had some and it looked great as well.We will definitely be back again.

Just got back from a lovely meal at Gregory’s in Cocoa Beach. So nice to be able to have a quiet meal with great food and service!We were pleasantly greeted to our table. Hubby had made reservations as it can get busy.My husband and I were able to have a long enjoyable conversation with no overpowering music.Our server Clay was fantastic. The food recommendations were excellent, the presentation was beautiful, wonderfully prepared to perfection! The bread and home made butter were excellent. We followed the servers recommendation and were very pleased with both our meals. From the appetizer to the main dish and desert it was excellent!A definite go back to! Will edit later to add pictures🥰

Good food, lousy service. We’ve dined at this restaurant a number of times over the last couple of years, and while not the best on the beach, the food was good and the service friendly. Our visit this time around was a real cluster. Apparently our server messed up the orders. We waited 20 minutes from finishing our starter to getting our salads, which we had to ask for. Then, it was another 30 minutes until our entrees were served, and only after speaking with the manager. The manager kindly made an adjustment to our bill, but we won’t be back anytime soon. There are at least half a dozen restaurants within a half mile of our condo (right next to Gregory’s) with outstanding food and service.

We should have listened to the advice of friends, but we wanted to give Gregory’s a try for ourselves. It’s not the price so much (although it is expensive) as the quality of the food — it just isn’t good. They also don’t know how to cook it, unless you love severely undercooked meals.We have talked with many more friends since this experience, and it turns out avoiding Gregory’s is well known among the locals. They skip this restaurant altogether — and so should you. If you want steak, go to Outback or Longhorn. The steak will be better and you’ll pay half the price.Side note: The service also was poor. Our waitress was slow and completely uninterested in the fact that our dinners were ruined.

We loved our visit at Gregory’s Steak and Seafood! The steak was cooked to perfection with a salty crust! Twice baked potato is worth the extra charge and the ‘Gregory’s chocolate cake’ is richhhh!Service was fast and super friendly. My sisters and I actually loved the vibe and decor of the restaurant! We will come back! Thank you!

I had the perfect steak dinner! It was cooked perfectly and great flavor, and our server Jen was wonderful! The wine selection was excellent as well.

We arrived a little early for an 8pm reservation and had two very well made co*cktails at the bar before dinner. Once to the table, Barbara provided friendly and prompt service throughout the meal, while also making excellent recommendations. We enjoyed the smoked white fish appetizer, the French Onion Soup was very good, and the clam chowder was amazingly delicious. For entrees, the Steak Diane and the ribeye - each was very well seasoned and perfectly cooked, and the twice baked potato Gregory’s is known for was the perfect side. Thank you for a great dining experience!

Located on A1A near the Hilton, this steakhouse offers steak, seafood and pasta. Plenty of seating and wonderful staff. Wednesdays are Wine Wednesday with $10 off any bottle.We had the skirt steak and a hamburger (my husbands go to entree). Everything was cooked perfectly! The key lime pie was to die for! Two thumbs upDinner for 2 with 1 dessert (no apps or alcoholic drinks) $85 with tax & tip

Dinner and a Comedy Show. Beautiful when we first walked in, downstairs... But, then they sent us to the side entrance, up two flights of concrete steps to the upstairs area where the comedy shows are, when you buy tickets they send you upstairs to eat ... What a difference in atmosphere and vibe... Not in a good way.Waitress came over, stood in the middle of the tables, and announced to all the tables she wanted to go through all the specials so she did not have to repeat them. Ask one of the tables to listen up cause they were talking. For these prices I would expect a little more personalized service.The food, I got the $46 Delmonico Ribeye steak. It comes with sauteed onions. I asked the waitress if I could get mushrooms instead of onions. She said the chef is a pain and does not allow substitutions. For the side I asked if I could have just a small salad, no veggies or starch... She said no. I would have to pay an additional $8 on top of the $46 to add a salad.All I wanted was a steak and a salad. Strange already that dinner did not come with salad.Dinner came, steak with a mound of sauteed onions and garlic butter on top (menu says onions were under) the steak was so DRY. It was supposed to be a ribeye and felt more like a strip steak, so dense! I asked for an extra pad of butter (to help with the dryness) They chaged an additional $4.00 for that pad of butter!My dates shrimp and scallops were just awful. The scallops were hard as a rock. The jumbo shrimp were small and tasted boiled and like they sat for quite a while.We did mention something to the manager and they brought a few more shrimp to replace the bad scallops, unfortunately they were not much better.Sincerely we did not complain about food much, this was really bad :(Ok, after dinner our server told up to go over to a seat to watch the comedy show.The comedy show was Fantastic!!! But, the server never came back to us even once for a drink. Just dropped the check after the show. Seems like they are short handed? But still, no excuse for the terrible food. Sorry Chef.Not sure we will be giving the restaurant a second chance. If you go I highly suggest you start downstairs... Maybe it will make a difference if there are separate chefs? Not sure. Sorry for the negativity. Wish I would have read something like this before I went. Btw, it was not just us. We ended up befriending the couple next to us and they had a similar experience and did not enjoy the meal. Bummer. If this helps, please click a like. Ty!After posting this, I am looking at other pictures from otther people... Our food did not look ANYTHING like those photos. What the heck happens upstairs?!?! My steak tasted old and dry and hidden by a pile of onions on top. No garlic bulb, and charged more to get an extra pad of butter... Just crazy! It literally was a tiny pad of butter! $4 00!Looking at the other seafood photos too .. nope, nothing like that! Super frustrating for a $100 dinner!Notice I write 100's of reviews and 99% are positive. Takes a lot to be bad... Unfortunately this hit that mark.

After several wonddrful meals at Gregory’s, this past Thursday, March 28, the evening left much to be desired.The restaurant boasts over 50 ft of bar, and they have many beers on tap. How can they not offer a Light Beer on tap (for my partner)?! And I love Guinness, and other evenings it’s been available. Not this night, and the substitute offered by the server turned out to be a hoppy IPA.But the main problem was the person in the kitchen who was in charge of the salt shaker: my French Onion Soup was so salt I could not finish it, and, that, with difficulty.But my partner ordered the Prime Rib. But he reported it was way too salty! believe he ate only maybe 1/3 of it. And he refused to take it home because of the salt. I told him I could make a wonderful stew or soup that would have dissipated the salt. Was it the fault of the au jus?The Roasted Brussels Sprouts were tough and too salty.We’ve never had this salt problem before.I ordered the Seafood Alfredo as I’ve enjoyed it in other restaurants. It was unsatisfactory. Although i generally prefer a thinner sauce, this one was watery, no substance. There were just tiny sea scallops and tiny pieces of lobster. None of the seafood was appealing. If I were to order it again (though I will not) I would ask that the seafood be lightly grilled (not boiled) before adding it to the sauce and fettuccini.Blake was our server and he was attentive (and rushed out with with my companion’s credit card as we left the restaurant! Thank you!)We WILL return and next time I’ll order the Steak Diane. We do like Gregory’s!

Very nice place but a bit pricey. It is an upscale steak house. Service was very good. For the price of the meal with only one side, it was a bit much. I was offered a twice baked potato also, which I ordered but then found out I'd paid another$4 for it!! I basically paid for an additional side without getting the one that came with the meal. Food was very tasty though. Clean bathroom and plenty of parking.

Was there on my anniversary and was treated like mud. The waiter was more interested in chatting up the old man with the two 18 year old girls than giving us the time of day. Paid $200 here for two people and was brushed off by the manager because she said that all of her other guests pay $1000 and was advised we should just leave. Contacting the BBB next.

perfect food, nice service - good atmosphere!

Book your Reservation Now. I was so glad I made a reservation for Sage Bistro. This scratch kitchen is phenomenal. We had such a hard time choosing what dishes to get, and loved all the tapas dishes we tried. We booked for the next available opening before we left the restaurant. When we travel, we usually don't go to the same restaurant twice as we love trying new places. But we were so impressed with the first night's specials we had to return and try more of their creations. The service was also top notch, highly recommend.

Wonderful place. Hostess and wait staff both very friendly. Food was truly delicious. We were celebrating our anniversary while on vacation in Cape Canaveral and couldn't have picked a better place. Really charming and cozy local place. If we are ever in the area again, would definitely go back.

The visit here was amazing! Our party was welcomed by the most amazing staff - I feel like I left with a new group of friends. The food, the drinks - well it was all perfect!! (The bread pudding dessert is worth mentioning. If you have the opportunity try it - you won’t regret it!!!). The bar was inviting and the staff very attentive and engaging. I love that it’s higher end food but you are welcomed to come as you are. Sage would be perfect for a romantic dinner or a jeans and t shirts stop on a weekday evening! Can’t wait to try out their new lunch menu!!!

This place is situated on N Atlantic Avenue excellent area and the food is very good. Excellent place to drink and eat. I will come back.

Food is excellent, per staff this a scratch kitchen. Per my taste bud, I believe it.Full bar and cold drinks.Frequented here twice & my foodie boyfriend loves it. Worth the price & wait.Last time I had lobster pot pie & boyfriend had a fish dish. We had to save room for dessert; homemade ice cream on berry crisp(?)Large portions. Come hungry.

Awesome service, nice atmosphere inside. Went for Mother's Day. Food was made from scratch. 4 dishes: pork chop was a little chewy, alfredo was overwhelmed with bacon, shrimp pesto had 6 jumbo shrimp just wish I didn't have to remove tails and pot pie quite spicy. Desserts were great.

We had the most amazing dinner at Sage Bistro last night! Staff are friendly and attentive and the food was some of the best I have had in a while. It was a little quiet, however we did dine quite late at around 9pm so I can imagine there would likely be a more lively atmosphere earlier in the evening. I had the sirloin risotto, the steak was a great quality cut of meat, cooked to perfection and well seasoned. The mushroom risotto was full of flavour and absolutely delicious, and the Gorgonzola cream sauce complimented the meal perfectly. The other dishes we ordered were the Sage alfredo, the lamb pot roast and the scallops and everyone really enjoyed their meals. Margaritas also went down a treat!

New Year’s Eve 2021. The Hostess was very nice and told us we got “the best table”. Not if you have to struggle to see the menu because it’s so dark!! One little tea light in a candle holder did not help at all. Our server Jaime (male) started out on the wrong foot as the Hostess had to come check on us and get us drinks. Once he did come over he spent too much time kabitzing until the Restaurant filled up, then he was MIA!! Food was very good but I really couldn’t see what I was eating!! Duck Spring Rolls were amazing! I had the Lamb Pot Roast, too salty for me but, very good. My husband had the Swordfish Oscar and he loved it.

First visit there after hearing great things thought it deserved a special evening. It was my birthday. I have to say the food was amazing. The service left more to be desired. Made reservations ahead of time and showed up a few minutes prior. The dining room was almost empty. There was a server for each of the few parties already there. In fact each of the servers came up to the host stand to put in food orders while we waited. Finally I asked if we just seated ourselves. The assured me a hostess would be along shortly. We stood staring at many vacant tables for a while before someone finally appeared. She took us to the smallest table in the middle of the room beside the only other couple. We got to hear a long speech about the specials. Even if we mentioned little interest in certain items the hostess still went over every detail of those dishes. A server quickly arrived to take our drink order, only to return a few moments later to let us know she was actually not going to be our server. No drinks. The next server said the specials the hostess told us about were not actually available. The things we did order were not explained clearly and we received something different than expected. Thankfully everything tasted amazing, portions were plentiful, cooked to perfection. Every bite from start to finish was appealing. Perhaps our server was too busy making salads like she explained, or communication isn't anyone's strong ability there. An updated print of specials would have been nicer than hearing a spech and trying to remember what she said only to be told that wasn't accurate. I hope to edit this review soon with more positive remarks.

Such a nice restaurant tucked up in Cape Canaveral tree filled setting along busy A1A. Service is excellent, from the greeting to our very nice server, to ongoing table maintenance. The menu and specialties were clearly reviewed making our choices easy. Side Salad, Scallops, baked stuffed chicken, Manhattan chowder, Sage Alfredo w/Sea Bass - WOW!Cannot wait to return.

The atmosphere of the restaurant is welcoming and colorful. The duck egg rolls were absolutely fantastic (deep flavor and no fat), the lamb burger and coconut shrimp were also very good. The best part of the meal was the desert… they have the best bread pudding I’ve ever had. A must try!!!

This was by far the best dinner experience!! The food was delicious, so unique (lobster pot pie!!!), and everything is homemade, including the pasta itself! The atmosphere is amazing, perfect for any occasion, and the service was second to none!! They knew our names and treated us like family from the moment we walked in the door! (My brother was celebrating his Special Olympics award, and they treated him like a king!) The new owners are the best!!! They really have a heart of service, and a heart for this community! I’ll be going here on a regular basis for sure!!

If you want delicious food, a fabulous atmosphere and top notch service, look no further than Sage Bistro. There is something on the menu for everyone - fresh seafood, wonderful desserts and outstanding Italian dishes to name a few. We couldn’t have been more impressed with Tyler, our waiter. He knows the menu inside and out and was very attentive and personable. A great experience!

We found a gem of a place this week while visiting the east coast. Sage Bistro is a wonderful alternative to the typical fish shack cuisine in this area. We sat at the bar and Pete the bartender took care of us. He was wonderful as was the food and drink! We ordered off the tapas menu, choosing dishes at a leisurely pace which really made for an enjoyable meal. Later in the evening, the owners joined the other patrons and us at the bar which we thought was a nice touch. Overall, this place is great! Take our sage advice: Go here!

They cook the meals from scratch so it’s fresh! But also takes a while to order. Jon who was my server was very nice. The hostess Pam gave me a bit of attitude so didn’t start with a good greeting.Food was great! Price was also reasonable

Ambience created by attentive staff in well laid out areas. From the time we were seated to our entrees in front of us was less than 20 minutes. Creatively prepared and presented -- taste buds were delighted.Yellow Fin (tapas portion) with Bacon Brussel Sprouts and Wiener Schnitzel were enjoyed.No stairs entry.Suggestion to eat here came from Oceanside Distillery less than 2 miles away. (Well worth your trip there, too.)Adjoining table occupants were from Venice, Florida, and stated they would return, again, in 4 months.

Have eaten here many times over the years even when it was Izzy’s. This was the worse meal ever by far. Saturday evening wasn’t that busy. I had the Schweinshaxe with red cabbage & spaetzle and my partner had the pesto shrimp in creamy sauce. My spaetzel was cold & crusty like when you store pasta in the refrigerator without a cover. I asked for it to be replaced. When it came at the end of my meal it was hot but as tasteless as possible someone forgot any salt. The pork was very chewy. The cabbage was awesome. My partners pesto was a mass of goo. Wasn’t edible. Considering I have the Schweinshaxe many times in the past I know what it should be. We left with a $118 bill adding 20% for tip, wasn’t the server fault, it was $140 of near total disappointment. Needless to say we won’t return again anytime soon. So sad

Our favorite sushi spot in Cocoa Beach never disappoints. Located in a small shopping plaza just off A1A, this place is such a welcome addition to other restaurants in the area. The food is delicious, and the rolls expertly crafted and displayed beautifully. The Monkey Thumbs are a must try as well as the Dirty Old Man speciality roll. The service is always on point, and I can't say enough about the quality. My sons absolute favorite in the area so we go as often as we can!

4.6? This place deserves 5 stars! Amazing food! Yes, it's a little expensive, but it's worth it and perfection. I had the dirty old man sushi and the no-name rolls. Unbelievable and life changing! My boyfriend had the Ramen dish and shrimp tempora. I wish I had tried the drinks. The margarita looked so good. Fast service and friendly. I'm not a Florida citizen, but I wish I was! I'd be here every day!I will spend the rest of my life knowing I can't come back here any time I want. It's so tragic!

First of all !!! Amazing!!! From the service to the food! My family and I are from Maryland and we came to Florida for vacation. One area we visited was cocoa beach. We spent the day there with our kids by the time the sun started to go down, we decided to find a nice restaurant for dinner. We begin to google and we really don’t read reviews just see how many stars they have. We decided to actually really read the reviews of Nosh. After reading two reviews, we were sold! And once they sat us down it was nothing but great service! Kit was our waiter. He was amazing and made my children laugh. We got sushi first, the spider roll and dirty old man rolls. Those were amazing and delicious. Next we got the Krab angels and fish tacos and shrimp tacos and may I say they were absolutely amazing and mouthwatering. I love this place and can’t wait to come back the next time I’m back in Florida!

Had a delicious dinner with the kiddos! Loved that we could grab a game and play while we waited (although food was quick and service was great) Really enjoyed the green curry with tofu, kids loved their breaded chicken, husband had the drunken noodles with beef and we shared dragon rolls. Cute place and overall a very great experience! Huge menu and everything was delicious.

This place is amazing. The waiter was excellent and very friendly and fun. The food was absolutely magnificent (pictured below). And even when their computer system was acting up they accommodated us better than any restaurant I’ve been too. I will recommend this place to anyone and everyone I know who comes to Cocoa beach.

Everything we ordered was delicious.This restaurant charges a 3.5% credit card processing fee. The server was knowledgeable about the menu and friendly.

4.6 Stars!!So when we first walked in, I wasn’t highly anticipating an awesome sushi dinner. Hell, even during parking I was skeptical. I must say, never judge a book by its cover. The sushi was amazing! The drinks weren’t expensive like in most coastal beach restaurants and did I say the sushi was amazing! We ordered the King Kong (3 different sushi rolls and 1 large appetizer) and the presentation took me totally by surprise. I recommend this place and will totally be back.

Ordered 2 poke bowls for takeout and was told to come in 15-20 min. It took them 50min.Then I realized the portion was 1/3 of what it normally is. It was good but tiny. I am hungry and have to go somewhere to eat after eating there.

I had the most fantastic time at Nosh in Cocoa Beach! Their sushi, spring rolls, and fried rice were out of this world. Super-friendly staff. The whole vibe of the place is inviting. Nosh is a total winner!

We’ve been coming to Cocoa Beach since 2001 and this is the best “new” place we have found. The menu is unique and amazing. They have dishes for everyone. Their co*cktail list is delicious and their food is incredible. We will be making this one of our regular stops each time we come. Be sure not to miss out yourself.

Our dinner experience at Nosh Restaurant left us with mixed feelings. The sushi was delightful, and we thoroughly enjoyed the food. However, the atmosphere fell short—our table was sticky, which affected our overall comfort. Despite this, the servers were exceptional, displaying great friendliness and service. We may consider revisiting on our next trip to Cocoa Beach, but the decision will involve weighing the food quality against the atmosphere.

For my birthday, I searched “Best sushi near me” and Nosh had the highest rating. They don’t take reservations, so my party of 10 went as early as we could and waited for a table. Our expectations were set to 25-35 minutes, so we waited and even got a drink at the bar. The service was good all around. Paul, our server, was knowledgeable with the sushi. I asked for uni and they were able to accommodate! My sister saw that I ordered some so she got herself an order, too, at $28/order. It tasted pretty fresh and they were the larger type. I ordered the King Kong and there was so much left over. I did not waste one monkey thumb. The bartender was nice and she made some good drinks while we waited for our table.

This was a very enjoyable experience. The staff here is friendly and attentive. They make sure to check on you and make sure you are alright. The food here is beyond delicious. The atmosphere here is enjoyable.

Hubby got fried shrimp with a side of summer salad and baked potato and I got 3 tacos ( crispy fish, Mango Salsa Ahi Tuna Taco, and blackened mahi mahi) as well as I ordered a side of cheesy grits based off reviews, then we also god a kids chicken fingers and fries.So first of all, let me start by saying the fried shrimp was absolutely, hands down, the BEST fried shrimp my husband and I have ever had. Not too salty, really tame, not over cooked, crispy and somehow melted in my mouth… this was the star of the show. Highly recommend this! His summer salad was what you would expect, loved the dressing!I also want to note our bread came fresh and was also really delicious!My daughters chicken tenders were 100% hand-made, loved the quality and amount we got for the price! These were not some cheap frozen chicken tenders, they were really good!So I ordered 3 different tacos, they were all okay. My main complain is that none of them seemed to have a lot of sauce, so they were lacking a bit in terms of flavor. I went into it thinking the tuna taco would be my favorite, but turns out the fried fish taco was the best out of the 3 I had.Lastly I want to talk about these cheesy grits. As I mentioned I got them based off previous reviews, but in my honest opinion, these were terrible. I took 1 bite and didn’t even eat any more. There was zero flavor, it tasted watered down, and there really wasn’t much cheese at all. I really hated these and I don’t recommend you get them.All in all, we will be coming back here! It’s a cute little place and we really enjoyed most of our food!

I stumbled on Molly's Seafood Shack after kayaking near Cocoa Beach. My pic does not do justice to the amazing flavors of the Calamari & Shrimp Po'Boy I chose. Both had a very light maybe beer battered breading, the Po'Boy had so much shrimp, the pickles were crunchy and I loved it!♥️ Can't get this in Wisconsin so I'm always looking for these in the South. Kimmers was my server and she was awesome! She served my rolls with cinnamon butter almost before I opened my menu. I chose a Florida beer from Intercoastal Brewing... Hope I can get that in Wisconsin. I WILL BE BACK, If I'm back in the area in the future. Thanks to the chef and Kimmers for an outstanding meal!

The food was ok, but not really worth the price you paid for it. I was not expecting my Ceasars salad to come put brown. We did get to try some sushi for free since the cook had some time to play around in the kitchen on a Friday night. My advice skip it and go to red Lobster. The best part of the meal was the rolls with the cinnamon honey butter.

Food and drinks were very good but the service was off that night. Our waiter literally said he forgot about our table and was no where to be found. But, I have had other servers there that were terrific. I guess it wasn't his night!

First time at bonefish grill and we had an amazing experience. Michael was our server and he was very attentive to our needs, and was very polite. He knew the menu very well which made it easy for us to choose. By the way there old fashioned was the best! Highly recommend. Thank you Michael for being so great!

My wife and I go to Cocoa Beach every year. It's one of the favorite places I have. Last year we found Mrs. Apple's seafood.We bought some jumbos steamcrabs. My wife and I are from Maryland.Hi, grew up on the Chesapeake Bay. The Blue crabs we had Where's some of the best crabs I ever had. Hope to see you again this year will be down in 2 weeks.If you get down there, go see Mrs. Apple's.

Apple's place is always 5 stars! I've been coming here for years and it's never been a miss! Her business is has been growing so much and the service is still great. The crabs are huge! And I had the stuffed lobster, *chefs kiss* it was great. Apples special garlic butter is still some of the best to this day! Thanks for a great experience! Oh did I mention the outside area was so nice and soothing. A overall great place to eat, and enjoy your family!

Hands down the best snow crab EVER! I go here every single time I'm in Florida. The crab is so clean; no barnacles, weird gooey stuff, etc. True crab connoisseurs would agree and love this place. I'm always pleased and will continue to go for the rest of my life.

How can you miss this most famous spot for seafood? Cook your seafood right off the boat! Their garlic butter 🧈tastes fantastic. Blue crab, lobster, green mussels ,large shrimp and many more to choose from. The 🍤is so fresh 😍it's sweet and the shell is crispy and very thin you can eat it as a whole. It's nice to spend a whole afternoon with friends under the big 🌳. We talked, cracked some crabs and drank together. It definitely brings happiness to me evey time I visit. Crabs are so meaty you only see the meat when you open them.

Ms. Apples Crab Shack is a spot that I frequent with friends and family. We drive up from Miami to get some great seafood by the bay, normally picking live blue crabs for them to steam, as well as a couple pounds of shrimp and other goodies like mussels and their delicious butter. All in all, it's a wonderful spot to take friends and family for a relaxed seafood adventure!Here, you can pick from prepared meals sold at a fixed price that you can then microwave onsite or take home to enjoy later, or have them cook fresh seafood depending on what's available that day. It's best to call ahead for availability, especially for their popular blue crabs. It's also definitely to your advantage to arrive there earlier in the day to avoid possible crowds!All of the seating is outdoors on picnic tables with a handful of hand washing stations, paper towels, and paper table covers available for use (must use paper table covers if you plan to eat here!). We normally bring our own sides and such with us to help bolster the meal, but some of their dishes like the seafood rice and egg with crab meat can serve you well too.

There's a wait but it's worth it! This place gets busy, you pick live blue crabs and fresh shrimp and they cook it to your liking. You can have blue crab whole, cleaned, season them mild or spicy. Shrimp is fresh/frozen can be with head or no head, with garlic and butter or plain. They also offer other items such as clams, lobster, snow crab ect. And some dishes precooked ready to heat. Honestly it's a little hectic but they serve delicious food! Definitely recommend!! A little tip you can bring your own side dishes and drinks and eat there.

This is NOT a restaurant - just be aware of that going in. It is more of a seafood market where you can eat if you choose to. We went with family on a Saturday night. It was incredibly busy and that wouldn't have been so bad but there was little to no organization of the customers when it came to placing orders. No line, no real order and people were getting impatient and frustrated.The seating areas are nice and have brown paper to lay out on your tables as well as little hammers built into the tables to help you crack crab legs and such.We got the shrimp and they were good if you don't mind peeling your own reheated shrimp.If you're from New York and miss the salty, no-nonsense, take it or leave it kind of customer service, this place is for you.Desserts were tasty, as was the corn on the cob. Would definitely like this place more and be able to recommend it to others if there was some some of organization and a little more clarity on how things work.

We came down to Florida for the holidays and by far this is the best place ever. We went twice while we were down there. Once 3 days after getting to Florida and once before we left. The snow crab is the best I've ever had and by far the sweetest and the garlic stuff they put on top with butter omg just makes it. Love this place wish we had one in Chicago

Ms.Apples Crab Shack is a must stop place if you are in Merritt Island if you are looking for blue crabs & seafood meals. This friendly lady’s business has been around for 35 years and it is always packed. Customers can pick their own blue crab and have it prepared or take a full pre-prepared crab & seafood meal and have a feast outside by the waterway. No fine dining here, just an opportunity to get down to the business of hammer crab clusters and eat them. Recommended!

THE BEST PLACE TO EAT CRABS!!! I highly recommend going to eat here! You get to pick your own crabs and they also cook and clean them for you. I always get my crabs spicy, it has the best flavor. I also love their deviled crabs! Definitely recommend going here to eat! But they are closed on Sunday’s and Mondays so don’t waste gas going out there on those days! Follow them on Facebook to keep up with their schedule because they sometimes close unexpectedly as well.

So I went to Red Lobster for a late lunch and to try the Monday special. Evidently several people had the same idea and there were 3 parties including myself waiting to be seated. The hostess was attempting to seat people in the bar area and after the first two parties declined, I knew that I was going to get stuck there.Though there was only 1 party of two in the bar at the time, it took 15 minutes for the bartender/ server to notice me and come take my order. It then took about 25 minutes for my entree to come out which seemed slow for the time of day.The food was warm but not hot which indicated that it had been sitting a while due to the bartender having more tasks than they could keep up with comfortably.I was in need of a soda refill and my glass sat empty for more than 15 minutes until a new wait person who just came in duty took care of it. It took even longer to be offered a reorder on the shrimp special.The reorder did come out hot and fresh which was the highlight of the visit.My late lunch took 1 hour and 50 minutes. Glad that I was not in a hurry. The moral of the story is NEVER let them seat you in the bar.

And so it begins……the decline of a once great staple of dining excellence.On Saturday, April 8 I stopped into Red Lobster, in hopes my experience would be better than the last two previous visits.First experience - I ordered the Ultimate Feast for take out. I waited for about twenty minutes, then I was handed my meal. When I arrived home and opened my bag, I noticed the interior of the bag was greasy or I should say buttery. The condiments were not separated in the bag and the steam from the vented food container melted the butter thus ruining my meal and causing a huge mess.Second experience - My daughter and I went to Red Lobster for a nice sit down meal. We walked into the restaurant and waited at the podium for about six minutes for a hostess. The hostess arrived and asked for my name, which I gave. I saw the hostess write my name on a blank seating list. I was informed there were no servers at the moment and it would be about a fifteen minute wait to be seated. I asked the hostess if the restaurant was short staffed and the reply I received was, “yes.” My daughter and I waited about ten minutes then we left. I thought to myself, why would the restaurant have no servers.Third experience - On Saturday, April 8 I stopped by Red Lobster and ordered Walt’s Favorite Shrimp, a baked potato with loaded toppings, and rice. You can see what I ordered per the receipt. When I arrived home and opened the food container, there was no baked potato with loaded toppings and no rice. French fries!I am disappointed with Red Lobster’s performance. These mistakes are something I would expect at a fast food establishment where the sense of urgency is dead and not at a place where excellence is supposed to be paramount.I am not sure if Red Lobster is battling staffing issues, settling the lack of urgency, or battling just plain laziness. Whatever is going on in the inner workings, I hope a course correction will happen sooner than later.Whatever is the outcome, it pains me to say, I will not be a returning customer.

Made inline reservation but on arrival was told those aren't honored. Waited 30 minutes on a slow evening for a table. Waitress was friendly but food was delivered cold missing sides from 5 of 6 orders. Had to wait for those for 10 minutes after food delivery. This location used to be pretty good but seems to have lost a lot of focus.

We had a wonderful experience today. We both had the Lobster Feast. Great food and portions. Best Bartender/Waitress Katrina. She was so friendly and attentive. Really enjoyed ourselves.

The bread rolls are amazing!! I had the Salmon bowl and it did not disappoint. It was scrumptious! I loved the Brussel sprouts too! The salmon was cooked perfectly.

I haven't been here in quite a long time. The Lobster Lover's Dream was really good and quite a large amount of it too. The place is a little dated. Kat was a great bartender/ server and really friendly. Prices are high, but food is good.Went back on April, 4th got the "Endless Shrimp" which you can't beat for $17.99 per person. The only problem I had was the draft Bud Light has a 'musty taste' and smell to it. This is the same as last time we went. So the draft lines must need to be cleaned. I ended up drinking tea.

The service was awful! Honestly the worst service I've had in my life. Our server could not have been any more inattentive. My daughter and son in law were just as stunned as I was at the poor service.

We were greeted and seated right away. The server arrived shortly thereafter, took our drink orders, and our dinner order. The food was delicious, I highly recommend the Brussel Sprouts. Will be going back for sure.

Had a great meal! Our waitress was Anastasia. She was fantastic! Super friendly and very knowledgeable. Asked a few questions and she has the answers!We went with endless shrimp which was excellent! Anastasia was able to help us pick drinks and they didn't disappoint!Can't wait to come back!

We hadn't tried a Red Lobster in years, and we finally went to check their Lobster Fest menue. Living in an area that offers great seafood, the overall expectation was pretty much met, which was average at best. Our waitress was excellent and made selection recommendations and even offered us some money saving tips by selecting some choices off the regular menu. The hot bread or small biscuits were quite good, and likely my favorite item offered. We both ordered the twin lobster tail meals, but we optioned them differently to try out more sides. I had the main menu version, which allowed me to choose two sides of shrimp preparations plus two regular sides. The Lobster was tasty but undercooked, giving it a mushy, almost gelatinous texture. We both elected not to return it as we were not looking to extend time there. I ordered the shrimp in linguini Alfredoas one add on. Skip this popular option as the shrimp was oddly flavored and the Alfredo powdery. My other shrimp was the coconut shrimp, and this was much better. Butterflied and lightly crusted with shrimp batter, served with a very sweet dipping sauce. My rice was good, but the cole slaw was tasteless. My wife had broccoli, which was bright green and tasty but very soft. Her fries were very good. For $40-$45 a meal, you got a lot of food, but the star dishes were not worth coming back for. We left realizing there really are better options in the area and reinforced our reasons why we have skipped going to a Red Lobster for so many years.

Consistently excellent food and service here! I visit family and eat here twice a week ideally when local. Wednesday is my favorite for lobster and sirloin, then Endless Shrimp any other time. The Dragon Shrimp will hopefully stay as I’m sure they’re loved more than the other coated shrimp by all.The servers always seem to know most of the customers so shows a lot of returning happy people.

Although they did not appear to be busy, it took awhile for someone to greet us to be seated. The service started out well, but was poor after the taking of the alcoholic drink order. The waitress never came back for our dinner drink order, or to check on us after the dinners were served. As always, the food preparation was excellent. It saved the evening from being a major disappointment.

There are so many seafood places in the area we didn't have a lot of faith for a chain restraunt especially right before closing, but we were feeling like just a nice clean place to sit and recoup after a very sad day.. WELL! We were so amazingly surprised. The food was fresh and delicious, but most of all the woman who served us was an ANGEL. Nam is probably the most kind, compassionate and joyful human being we could have met. She turned our entire night around by talking and sharing beautiful stories. She was quick with our food and to take extra care of us she sent us off with some of the last batch of biscuits for the night. That incredible human being made our bad day turn around and we couldn't be more impressed. 10/10 will be back if traveling through that way again. Who ever hired Nam, you have great taste!
