“Finding good ethnic food in Brevard County is hard but this place definitely checks all the boxes. Super clean and well designed dining area and very friendly and accommodating staff. Start on the right foot with samosa chaat and end with their rasmalai, and you can't go wrong with anything in between- but definitely go for medium or spicy when choosing a main dish. This is the true comfort food!!! Thank you to Diana for being a great hostess. :-)”
“Attention Gluten-free Folks!!! Here is where you want to try breakfast!! They have the best GF pancakes I’ve ever eaten. Many GF options. And if you get Rachelle as a server, she’ll treat ya right.”
“Lady was extremely kind and so happy to be there. So inviting! Ice cream was amazing and fresh and she was so proud of it! Truly tasted amazing. If you’re in the area, it’s a must go!”
“We stayed at the hotel across the street before and after our cruise. When we asked for a food recommendation when we arrived, she told us to go try the “Crack Mac” across the street. We were so glad that she gave us the recommendation. We had been to multiple different restaurants over the previous weeks and this was the first time that EVERYONE was happy with their food. There wasn’t a single complaint. We went on the cruise and I craved the burger and Mac n cheese the entire time. We all agreed that we were going back to Big Daddy J’s when we got back. We did and it was delicious again. If I ever return to Cocoa Beach, Big Daddy J’s will be a must visit for me.”
“This was our favorite ice cream place we found on our recent trip. It's the same brand many ice cream shops have, but the service was excellent, not rushed, and the atmosphere was fun. Another customer congratulated me for eating my whole cone :)Kid-friendliness: There's a little kids table and folks didn't seem bothered by a rowdy toddler”
“Great place. Wonderful food, a bit messy because we got their burgers but that’s expected ?. Very good food, checks all the boxes of a good burger, I suggest unless u have a very large mouth and hands. Do not get an extra patty on your burger as I did, because the patties are very thick and makes it a monster of a burger when it’s already pretty big. Very good service. Our waiter Paige had excellent energy, amazing social skills, and great efficiency when waiting on us and others from what I saw. I “made my own”burger, and got a side of parm fries and it was so good. My mother which was there with me Got their lobster burger with a side of parm fries and she said it was amazing. And I also got one of their lava cakes in house which Paige doctored up with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and caramel and fudge drizzle in which Paige was excited I ordered in rather than to go because “she enjoys dr’ing it up” clearly a lady who loves the food, loves her job and doesn’t well. Thanks Paige, and thanks to the two awesome cooks who made our food. We will definitely be back again soon! P.s. they also had some really cool signs and art in the walls. P.P.S the mens bathroom is pretty clean, well maintained and has some nice touches like a mouthwash dispenser and air freshener if you need them alongside some funny signs as well.Dietary restrictions: They also accommodate for ceiliac and vegetarian diets from what I saw, I myself am Ceiliac and got fries(made in a dedicated fryer) and a burger with a gluten free bun, with a side of some delicious chipotle garlic Aoli sauce that was delicious with the parm fries. Overall a great place for two people ,my mother ( no dietary restriction ) and myself ( celiac’s disease Aka severe gluten allergy ) to eat together. ? 9.9/10 restaurant, and 10/10 burger.”
“Empanadas are always fresh and served fast, and the green sauce is delicious. The staff are so friendly and it’s a great stop if you need a quick bite in the area.”
“Absolutely fantastic experience the first time we had to come back the next night for another dinner. Everything on the menu was fresh and cooked to perfection. Ambiance and atmosphere was very nice. Served Andy was top notch. We requested him on our second visit, he was professional, funny and really made sure we were taken care of. Highly recommend for all occasions. We will be back!!”
“From the table bread to the Salmon, Steak, Calamari, Crab tower - EVERYTHING was delicious. Thankfully, we got in before it got busy (around 530pm), we were seated right away. As we were leaving the restaurant was poppin’ with several parties waiting outside - service by Chris was excellent! This restaurant is a MUST if you are on this side of town and are a seafood fan.”
“This place was outstanding! If I can give 10⭐️’s I would. The menu recommended to get 3-4 tacos per person. I was a little hungry so proceeded to order 6. I basically ordered one of each flavor from carnitas, to shrimp, to pork. The presentation was amazing yet the flavor was insanely good. After eating 6, I ordered 4 more. The nachos with cheese dip was also great. If I ever come back to Cocoa Beach I’ll be sure to stop by. Thank you for providing great service with exceptional food.”
“We come here often and the service never disappoints! We’ve ordered a variety of things off the breakfast menu and the quality is always great. BRING BACK THE BIG PANCAKES! They switched from two large cakes to four small ones not a fan. We will definitely continue to come back just wish we could get the big pancakes again!”
“Fantastic option for breakfast! I'm a traditional "two over-easy, bacon, potatoes, and rye toast" guy, and they do that right! My Daughters plan their visit for the Benedicts and the Quiches when they're in town.Toast is always better, when you start with great bread. They do!When guests from out of town ask "Where's the best French Toast?" We bring them here.If you can't find something you like on their menu (that you will enjoy), you probably don't like food! ?”
“I stopped by today for the first time after hearing a bunch of good reviews about it, and quite honestly, it is the best ice cream I have ever had in my entire life. I had the banana split and it was so delicious. Very fair prices. The environment is nice and I love the aesthetic of the 50s feel, and I will be back.”
“I am the owner of Grace Giving Goods and we work with the owner, Alex at Bold Cup Coffee. We love their family and coffee shop so much. They treat their customers and employees wonderfully and make some of the best drinks! My personal favorite is the pumpkin chai tea latte and the carrot cake tea. Alex let’s us do pop-up events at his shop and is so kind in supporting others business’. Grab yourself some Bold Cup Coffee!”
“Might be the best bar in cocoa beach. Exactly what you would want or of an Irish pub. Great atmosphere. Good beer. Friendly staff. Great for locals and tourists ”
“This place is authentic as it gets for a French bakery. The food is awesome, the service is always great, and the family who owns it are amazing people. This place is a great addition to the local community!”
“Must comment on this morning's marvelous Breakfast Bowl. Grilled chili-rubbed chicken & shrimp with an exquisite chipotle sauce, excellent grits; unlike any normal breakfast dish I've ever had. Memorable.Lesson: Go to Banana River if you enjoy trying masterfully created new interpretations of classic American dishes; Emerson's ever-evolving culinary imagination appears to have no limits.”
“The service by the host & waitresses were top notch. Very accommodating & friendly. All of our meals were outstanding! I had the pesto shrimp great flavor! My wife had the Parmesan encrusted mahi she loved it. My daughter had the lobster pot pie & raved about it! I highly recommend this place! I will be back!”
“This is a great spot for some quality breakfast by the beach! Our server Brianna was awesome, she was on top of everything and the food came out crazy fast. Highly recommend.”
“Brought my bestie for her birthday (which happened to fall on Easter this year) and wow did they deliver all that was promised!! Amazing food - vegan tofu scramble wrap, with potatoes and roasted veggies as a surprise flavor addition. We also had the Cuban panini with lots of house made pickles rounding out that tender meat inside on a toasted roll. We of course had mimosas to cheers also with celebratory donuts, including a delish cannoli donut (sadly not pictured).”
“Bring back surf guys hot sauce! I would come once a week and get your Mahi tacos. They were the best in the whole world. Now when I come I have to get the blackened shrimp surf salad because you don't have surf guys hot sauce. It makes me very sad Lol. Choluta hotsauce is barf!”
“This is probably the best North East seafood eatery in cocoa. Amazing food and not insanely expensive. It is pricey but not horrible and the food is beyond worth it every once in a while. I had the crab legs, fried clams, and the calamari. Been a few times and each time does not disappoint.”
“Excellent experience for a party of 4 adults and a toddler. Everyone enjoyed at the maximum with an excellent experience in all level a restaurant can offer . For a new testing of culinary art introduce by a young chief , please consider . We will be back for sure .”
“My group and I are out of towners and were looking for great food while in Melbourne. Not only were we impressed by the taste and quality of the food, but the service was amazing. All of the staff members were extremely friendly and the owner made us feel like celebrities with his engagement with us! We highly recommend this place to anyone looking for great food!”
“My husband and I love it here! The staff seem to be kind, know what they are doing and upbeat, serving GREAT pastries. Groovy little joint!Dietary restrictions: Veg friendly!”
“The best cookies I have ever tasted. They are so gooey and thick. You enjoy every bite. And they are big enough to enjoy 2 - 3 servings each to satisfy the sweet cravings. I love the gluten free Chocolate chip one!!! Also, I love the local mini market where I can find unique gifts and decor, gourmet foods and participate in classes. Love, Love, Love it! ❤️”
“We just ate here and I just love their strawberry lemonade drink and their #2 Vietnamese BBQ Pork sandwich. It was so light, yet filling. We originally came here to get the Lady Bug and Cat Noir Boba drinks, but I was hungry so I ordered the sandwich and the strawberry croffle. So yummy! I will be coming back.”
“The soft serve is the best around. All of the staff has been friendly. And communication with the owners is beyond pleasant. They are so kind and always accomodating! We have seen them at community events, hired them to come to my sons birthday as well as the experience of hearig the ice cream truck and running outside to catch it with our kids. They have so gracefully brought back a wonderful childhood memory that I can share with my boys.”
“This was a nice little spot close to the Beach. The food was really good. The chicken skewers and curry chicken tacos…highly recommend. Food took a bit long to come out as a huge party had arrived. We will be back?”
“Our food was delicious and our service was wonderful! Our kids loved their pizza and thought it was so fun that they got to make pizza dough artwork and have it baked! Our server, Patricia, was great. We also thought prices were great for the amount of food we received. We really enjoyed the atmosphere and will definitely come back again when we are in the area!Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly atmosphere, especially with baking the pizza dough creations! The kids loved that part!”
