“Went here for the first time yesterday. What took us so long!? The food was fantastic!!! My wife's steak was cooked to perfection. And my fish was magisterial!!! So fresh; so delectable. The key lime pie was lovely! And all of the staff were friendly and professional and attentive. Huge props to Kaili; she served us to perfection and really made us feel welcomed! Loved watching a true professional at work who cares about her craft. We look forward to many more visits!“

“We always enjoy our time at Seafood Atlantic when in the area. The ambiance sitting at the waterfront deck is so peaceful, enjoying the dolphins and pelicans. Our go-to meal is the crab boil for two, which includes snow crab, red shrimp, hardshell clams, PEI mussels, corn, and taters. It really gives you a nice sampling of what the menu offers. Everything is steamed to perfection and then marinated in fantastically seasoned butter sauce. A side order of chowder is what I get (perfection), but the Ceasar salad is quite tasty as well. This time, we also enjoyed the mini crab cake appetizer - mmmm. Service is always friendly, knowledgeable, and speedy. You won't regret enjoying a meal at Seafood Atlantic!“

“Visited Grills tonight before our cruise sail tomorrow. From the research and planning, several folks recommend this place for food and drinks.

We certainly weren’t disappointed! I tried the shrimp Cuban (added bacon and banana pepper- house favorite) and wife got the coconut shrimp. Food was very fresh and I thoroughly enjoyed my sandwich.

I also indulged in the Grills margarita which was great. Overall a great dinner, quick service and good food.

Thanks Grills team!“

“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“

“We have been here several times. The food is delicious. Spouse has gluten allergy and the staff is EXTREMELY careful and hand deliver her meal separately. She has NEVER had an issue. Mac and cheese and pulled pork is her favorite. Tonight a vacationing family was dining in. A young man ordered a sandwich that had the kitchen sink on it. It was fun to watch him try eating it. He was 1/2 way done before we left. But was slowing down. I hope he made it. The staff is always top notch and it’s a fun place to relax and have great food. Try them. You won’t be disappointed.“

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

“Excellent meal all around. The seafood is great here. I recommend the catch of the day, the duck confit, jumbo black tiger shrimp, wild blue crab feature, and the Thai steak salad. Draft beer, wine, cocktails (wine based) and cocktails are all fantastic as well. service was great. 5 stars!“

“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.“

“Had a lovely meal at Longboard’s after a few hours at Cocoa Beach. Our fabulous hostess Taneisha said they had the best key lime pie in Cocoa Beach and I have to say she was not wrong. Great stuff! And Taneisha was extraordinary! Thanks so much and we will return.“

“Food was Hot and good and several seafood options! Excellent Service!“

“We were looking for a smaller local seafood restaurant and found this one on Google. The food was excellent, the owners very very nice people and the atmosphere casual and relaxed. Don’t hesitate to go! Bonjour à nos amis de Suisse et merci!“
