“This is a can’t miss establishment! If you are in Cape Canaveral for any reason, plan to stop in! Warm inviting atmosphere, super stellar bartender/mixologist and wait staff, phenomenal cocktail creations and yummy small bites. Allison (mixologist) came to our table to ask specifics on what we like and literally crafted our cocktails to our taste.

“Crackers Island Grille- Cape Canaveral- 3-stars "Flawless execution will trump low-quality ingredients every time." -- The Big Boy "Where will I lunch today?", was my thought as I grabbed my random restaurant generator and headed towards the BBDO mobile. As the name scrawled across my screen, I saw I was heading up the coast to Cracker's Island Grille. Taking my time and enjoying the drive, I had time to reflect a bit on my job. Since I started this over two years ago, BBDO has grown by leaps and bounds topping out at over 14K followers across social media. I am extremely humbled by this and it steels me to continue forward. My GPS told me I had arrived and I found myself in front of a strip mall 1 mile north of the famous Ron Jon's Surf Shop and across from Golf N Gator. I arrived in the BBDO mobile at precisely 11:15 AM and the place was busy. Awaiting my turn, I glanced about the place and was quite taken in by the decor. They have a nice little island/surf theme going and this contributed to a very relaxed atmosphere. After a short wait, I was shown a table, handed a menu and told my server would be right with me. As packed as they were, I wondered what exactly that meant. It wasn't too long before a server approached my table and introduced herself as Brittany. Brittany was very prompt, charming and had our drink order back in no time at all. Along with the drink order, I also requested the Bouillabaisse and one order of the special of the day, Gator tacos (wondering if the meat was fresh based on the proximity of Golf N Gator). Brittany assured me this was not the case. I was sure this made the animal rights people happy, however, I was not. I have to say that first of all, Cracker's Bouillabaisse looked better on the menu than it did in front of me (see pictures for comparison). But, the smells wafting up were pure gourmand nirvana. With just the right amount of heat and all the seafood one could want, the flavors were complex, tantalizing and just a tad hot on the palate. The seafood seemed low quality (frozen, not fresh), but the execution was performed well. The accompanying bread was warm and slathered in garlic butter that added a nice compliment to the seafood stew. Dying to try something I never have before, I eagerly dug into the Gator tacos next. Wow. That is my professional opinion of these delightful tacos. Just, wow. Served on warm flour tortillas with fresh-cut tomatoes and cooked to perfection they were absolutely as delicious as they were unique. The meat was tender, juicy and extremely flavorful. The seasoning really got my taste buds dancing and there was just enough heat to make sure they were not only awake but stayed that way for the duration. The Gator tacos alone were worth the drive up the coast. Not that one needs an excuse for that. As I am sure my loyal readers know, I firmly believe that the only thing that matters in regards to a successful slop house and one that fails is execution, not location, not parking, not service, not interior design (though those all certainly help). If the food is good, as I've said before, you could open a food shack in the middle of the Okefenokee Swamp and people would flock to it. Make no mistake about it, Cracker's is not a fine dining establishment, they use low-quality ingredients, but man oh man you can tell the chef/cook cares about what is slung forth from his kitchen. The execution of all the items I had was done flawlessly, and everything was delicious, especially the Gator Tacos, those were unreal, proving once again what I've said ad nauseum, execution, execution, execution! The Big Boy says, "when in the area and in the mood for some cheap eats and seafood, head on over to Cracker's Island Grille, you won't be disappointed!" #iamthebigboy #bigboydiningout“

“Honest Review: Flavors of India - Cocoa Beach, FL (4/5 Stars)

Step into a culinary adventure at Flavors of India in Cocoa Beach, where every bite feels like a vibrant journey through India’s rich food culture! I recently indulged in a delightful dine-in experience, and let me tell you, it was a treat worth raving about. The cozy, inviting ambiance instantly set the mood, making it an ideal spot for a fun outing with friends or a cozy family meal.

The menu is a treasure trove of authentic flavors, and I dove into the Chicken Tikka Masala (mild) and Navratan Korma—both bursting with aromatic spices and cooked to perfection. The samosas? Oh, they were a crispy, golden revelation, packed with savory goodness! Paired with the soft, fluffy naan and the indulgent bullet naan, every mouthful was a delight. To top it off, the masala chai warmed my soul with its spiced perfection.

The staff was warm and eager to please, though the hustle of peak hours added a dash of chaos to the service. At $65.20 for a feast for two, the pricing felt like a steal for the generous portions. The only hiccup? Limited seating can turn it into a cozy squeeze when it’s busy. Still, this gem is a must-visit for Indian food enthusiasts, and I’m already counting the days until my next visit—earning it a hearty 4 out of 5 stars!“

“Ashley is an absolutely amazing server. She gets that customer service goes well beyond good food and a nice atmosphere. I watch her interact with everyone on the floor, customers and staff. She cares about her customers and her employers. You’d think this was her place.“

“We just went for the first time and will definitely be back. The food was superb, the staff outstanding and we met Shawn one of the owners and he is great. We will be telling all our friends and look forward to future visits!!! Thanks for a great dinner. Rick and Rae“

“Best place for years! Ms. Vicki is the best!“

“I was looking for a breakfast spot to go to and this one had great reviews, so I decided to give it a try! We were sat quickly and our server Tasha was very upbeat, friendly and attentive. Our food came out fast and hot and the portions were huge! All in all a great experience, definitely recommend.“

“Very ice Irish Pub“

“One of my favorite places to enjoy! Regardless of if you are in the mood to purchase plants or just admire them there is truly something for all ages and levels of gardeners. Their selection of plants are always what is in season and what would thrive in Florida. My husband and I went from never gardening before to now having a backyard full of successful veggies, flowers, and even some fruit trees! The staff are incredibly friendly and knowledgeable and the owners really care about the garden. A truly amazing space coast destination and I can’t wait for my daughter to be old enough to be a little garden bug. Couldn’t recommend Rockledge Gardens more!“

“Nice selection. Great boba teas.“

“Been going since before this location came close to my house! Before traveling to Melbourne..Family oriented restaurant with big love for the groms!“

“We are from Long Island and the egg sandwiches and bagels felt like home. Everything was perfect. The staff is super friendly and even got to meet Lisa one of the owners. We will be back very soon! If you haven’t gone yet, run don’t walk!“

“From the moment we stepped through the door, Milpa Tacos y Tortillas made us feel like we were part of a warm, vibrant family celebrating Día de los Muertos. The ambience was a beautiful tapestry of color, culture, and togetherness that set the tone for a memorable night. The menu felt like a love letter to Mexican street cuisine, with bright, layered flavors that honored tradition while offering its own playful twists. Each bite showed care: crisp textures, balanced spice, and ingredients that sang with freshness. The Cantaritos were highlight-worthy: refreshingly citrusy, perfectly balanced, and generously poured. Served in rustic, traditional vessels, they added a tactile, festive feel to the experience. If you’re looking for a place with authentic flavors, meaningful ambiance, and a welcoming vibe, Milpa Tacos y Tortillas should be at the top of your list. We left with full hearts and even fuller plates, already planning our next visit.“

“Stephenie and Mary were amazing! We had the best time at Salty Sisters tonight. As always, the food was fantastic, and the vibe was so fun! Can’t wait to see you again!“

“Best kava bar in Florida. Amazing atmosphere and top of the line service. Everyone there is welcoming and hospitable. The friendliest people I’ve ever met.“

“We went in for a Greek salad and gyro meat and came out of the deli with so much more. The salad was huge (2 meals) and we got gyro meat on the side. The gyro meat was super tender and so full of flavor and was authentically sliced from a spit. The salad was filled with feta, marinated cucumbers, grape tomatoes and Kalamata olives. The dressing was so flavorful. We got a few pre-made items from the deli, which were all very delicious/ curry chicken salad, lentil veggie salad and feta sun dried tomato pasta. Their spanakopita (spinach pie) was filled with spinach and feta and was very flaky. We couldn’t leave without dessert treats- carrot cake, almond cookies, baklava and Kataifi nut pastry. All dessert treats were very yummy. The owner and his son were very kind and let us sample a few things. We’ll be back.“

“Incredible Staff & Owners.“

“We always get treated like family by the staff! Excellent food and presentation! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Amazing Wine Tasting dinner this evening at Luna Food & Wine in Cocoa Beach. The wine pairings were fabulous and spot on. Never would have thought of pairing a Chardonnay with a spicy crevette creole but it was perfect. Outstanding menu, perfect sized portions and wonderful pairings with wines from Midnight Cellars. Waiting for the next wine pairing dinner there. Chef Luca and LeeAnn are such wonderful hosts and make their guest feel like family.“

“Small local place with awesome food! Worth any wait! Five stars! Great spicy Margaritas and the CB Punch is absolutely delicious. Banana pancakes best ever!“

“Sometimes life surprises you in the best way. The team from Wonder Waffel stumbled upon this hidden gem by pure chance – and what a discovery it turned out to be! From the very first step inside, you’re wrapped in warmth, kindness, and a feeling that instantly makes you feel at home. The food? It’s not just delicious, it’s an experience. Every single bite lifts you higher, until you realize you’re not just tasting flavors – you’re feeling them. It’s joy, comfort, and heart all on one plate. And the moment you leave, you already know: this is not goodbye. This is the kind of place that makes you want to run right back, again and again, because some experiences are simply too beautiful to have just once.“

“This place is first rate in all aspects. The food is BEYOND. The desserts are even better! The varied drink options make it hard to choose only one- so get a couple! The service is excellent and the atmosphere is so much fun! Highly highly recommend.“

“Very impressed. Home style breakfast. Creative dishes.“

“We stopped in on our trip to Cocoa Beach and were not disappointed. Coming from Wisconsin, we’ve had tons of great beer. Dirty Oar has some of the best beers we’ve ever had! The bartender was so friendly when we stopped in. As a military/law enforcement family, we loved the atmosphere and show of support.“

“Needed to find a good place for breakfast which included BEC and bagels. Came across this establishment and I'm glad we did. This place serves awesome breakfast sandwiches which is also complemented by wonderful staff. Thumbs up and must try if you're in the area and craving a good and fast breakfast. Will be back next time.“

“Wow, nice to see the new resturant and it's authentic Japanese food. Very good selection and we will be back. Chris was our server and it was a pleasure having him as our server. Attentive, but not hovering over us.“

“Dark and cold. Like a cave. The way a dive bar should be. Way more locals than tourists, which is almost always a good thing. Full bar, TVs (mostly tuned to Fox News), and plenty of bar games (darts, billards, etc). Awesome back porch and awesomer backyard, complete with an outdoor stage for live music.“

“Wow! I've had a lottttt of boba and I've loved it all, but this is the best I've had by a mile! Their selection is huge and both the milk teas we got were heavenly! The tapioca pearls were the perfect consistency and flavor and we were greeted and warmly welcomed upon our arrival in this cozy cute spot. I'm going back tomorrow!“

“Great food and service! Will be returning!“

“We passed The Skinny Mermaid/Vistea on our way home from KSC and decided to give it a try and we're so glad we did! Fresh salad bowls, delicious boba teas and friendly staff. Don't be put off by the rather unassuming looking exterior. We'd come here more often if we lived in the area!!“

“Our favorite java bar we have ever been to! Great lighting, great vibes, music is solid and nice little cozy patio in the back.Taylor was super helpful , friendly and welcoming. We will definitely be back if we are ever in town again! 10/10 recommend if you enjoy kava/kratom“

“Every time I’m in town this is one of my first stops. The people are always so kinda and give plenty of time so you can sort out what you want. My favorite employee would have to Emma, she goes above and beyond to make sure you feel welcome and get exactly what you want.“
