“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 ”
“The growth of this establishment since our last visit is remarkable. Initially, it was a modest structure with limited parking and a substantial tank of live lobsters. The conch ceviche special offered during my recent visit was exceptionally flavorful and tender, although the clams were slightly gritty. My wife and I opted for the Captain's platter, which proved to be an ample and satisfying portion after the ceviche and clams. We complemented our meal with beverages and enjoyed the musical ambiance. Overall, we were highly satisfied and intend to return in the future.”
“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 .”
“This was our first stop after an early morning start from the airport and we are so happy we chose this place! Our waitress, Claudia, was so lovely. She gave us great recommendations for the menu as well as area beaches and places to check out. Her recommendations made for a great visit to the area! The food was delicious, mimosas had just the right amount of orange juice, and the coffee was excellent. We had no issue with getting a table at 8am but drove by later in the week and the parking lot was packed, with parking on the grass! Definitely recommend grabbing brunch here before a day at Cocoa Beach :)”
“Excellent meal and very nice place. Brought kids and everyone enjoyed. Also the food looked as good as the pics online.Kid-friendliness: Staff was very nice and allowed my 9-year old to order custom sushi! He loved it!!!”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“You don't expect to find some fine dining in Cocoa Beach, but this is a rare place. It has a really nice interesting menu. Service was great. And the food was really good.”
“Everything was very good. The muscles amazing. Bruschetta very good. Service was also very good. We were there for one of the rocket launches. Beautiful. Manager came and told all about countdown and even opened up viewing area. Would like to visit again.”
“Heidi's is definitely the best Cocoa Beach has to offer for wonderful dining combined with excellent entertainment.The people who work here are fantastic. They care, and they do their best to ensure you're taken care of.I've been to 5 shows, and all of them were great, and none of them were similar.I've had dinner on the restaurant side and have the same comments. They offered live light piano music and fantastic people that provide stellar service.I have a hard time hearing at loud venues, and Heidi's offers the perfect volume (on both sides of the place). You can enjoy the performers, see them up close, and still talk to your dinner guests without raising your volume drastically.The food, service, and entertainment have been wonderful in all 5 of my experiences.Very well done.”
Restaurants with Delivery
“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. :-)”
“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 is hands down one of the best places for fine dining that I've ever been to! The sheer variety of dishes is awe-inspiring, and the desserts...oh my goodness, the desserts are simply out of this world! Every bite is a burst of flavor that will leave your taste buds tingling with delight. And don't even get me started on the bread - it's the stuff of dreams! With its low, sultry lighting and attentive staff, this place is pure magic. And let's not forget about the chefs - they're the best in the business! To top it all off, there's ample free parking and a beautiful outdoor seating area. You won't find a better dining experience anywhere else!”
“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! ?”

“Stopped in for dinner which the food was really good. We had great service but it was almost 45 mins before we had a table. If we are ever in the area again we will give them another chance.”

“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!”
“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.”
“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?”
“A gang of us went there for PraiseFest. It was a great time for everyone. Lots of live music from 5 different bands. The wait staff was impeccable as was the smash burgers! Loved it!”
“The desserts here were absolutely wonderful and the espresso used in their affogatos/wonder frappe is great quality. The brown bear sundae for kiddos was adorable and very appreciated by my daughter as well.”
“Save your money on sushi! These bowls are like eating 3-4 delicious extremely healthy and tasty rolls. It was SO GOOD that I’m having a hard time putting it in words. Plus, the service is out of this world! Nicest, kindest people making sure you have the best experience. Kid friendly as well. Our little toddler spilled a drink and though I insisted I wanted to clean it up, they soothed our stress about it in the nicest way possible and cleaned our mess up with genuine smiles on their faces.I wish we had more restaurants around like this!If you’re in Cocoa Beach (or even near to it), you must treat yourself with this incredible place!Thank you Poke Fin! You’re the cherry on top of our little family vacation :)”
“Darlyn, Alejandra and Hermila were 10/10 tonight. Amazing service, great food. Absolutely recommend this restaurant for your taco Tuesdays and just tacos in general!! Thank you so much ladies!”
“We visited on a Friday evening with some friends. They weren't super busy either. The ambiance is fun and feels like a really cool location. There were a ton of menu options.”
“This restaurant is a gem in Florida, if you haven't ate there then you must ho! The food is awesome! Great selection, and the staff is super courteous and helpful! I will continue going back for more+”
“Another scrumptious meal at Luna! The chef continues to create delicious specials and the serving staff is knowledgeable and efficient! Unfortunately there was a boisterous 11 top dining while we were there which made conversation with my husband virtually impossible. It was not the birthday celebration we hoped for!”
Outdoor Dining
“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!”
“Benjamin who was our bartender and he really took care of us perfectly he was busy but still was able to chit chat with us and answer all our questions. He was patient and very helpful. The sip and slide i ordered was so good that others in our party ordered one also. The food was really good also! We ordered a couple of appetizers the bang shrimp,the basket of fries, and crispy chicken wings with the thai chili sauce that was great to dip the wings in we asked benjamin for more blue cheese cups and we had them so fast we hadnt even opened the one had yet! Our service was fast and eeverything was hot and tasty. We all remarked that the order of bang shrimp was very tasty but that the order was huge! So overall for a beach bar it was a great experience! I do need to mention we were all totally underwhelmed by the gift shop which surprised us all! We were all ready to spend some money on stuff in the gift shop! I mean this is the famous coconuts on the beach! They had a very limited selection of sizes in all the clothing,limited colors and just a plain limited selection of trinkets and such! We all left wanting to buy more but it just wasnt to be but everything else was great!RR”

“Very impressed by this authentic Italian pizzeria! The pizza is tossed by hand and made fresh in their wood fired oven. The owners and staff were so kind to us and the pizza was delicious! If you’re visiting from out of town I highly recommend ordering some pizza to go and watching the sunset at Manatee Sanctuary park.”
“Hidden Gem Alert! The Tiny Tavern is My New Favorite SpotIf you're looking for that authentic local bar experience without breaking the bank, The Tiny Tavern is your place. This place is a total gem! The drinks are super affordable, the crowd is all friendly locals, and they have the best little outdoor area for kicking back. They often have live music too, which just adds to the awesome vibe.I love that it's not some fancy, pretentious spot. It's real, it's laid-back, and it's always a good time. If you want to experience a cool slice of local life, this is where you need to be. Trust me, you'll be a regular in no time.”
“We visited on a Friday evening with some friends. They weren't super busy either. The ambiance is fun and feels like a really cool location. There were a ton of menu options.”
“I apologize... I love you guys! I am not sure if I was possessed by a demon who does not like great breakfast, fish and chips and Shepard pie not to mention beer or I was hacked! I love The Pig & Whistle since you were on Cocoa Isle's...”
“What can you say? It's Johnathan's! I forgot to mention the fresh squeezed orange juice in the drinks! It's the best...Kid-friendliness: Ok, maybe more Dog friendly...”
“An awesome place to hang out. I'm always meeting the coolest people. The atmosphere created by the staff is friendly and inviting. I recommend doing some googling about the drinks before you start. It's different than a regular bar but as I said, very cool. ?”
“Another scrumptious meal at Luna! The chef continues to create delicious specials and the serving staff is knowledgeable and efficient! Unfortunately there was a boisterous 11 top dining while we were there which made conversation with my husband virtually impossible. It was not the birthday celebration we hoped for!”
“My favorite coffee shop in the Cocoa Beach area!Cafe Surfinista is a short walk from the ocean itself, so it's easy to grab a drink to go for a beach walk — plus they've made the most of a cute patio area to enjoy the fresh air on site, along with ample indoor seating to get out of the Florida heat when necessary. Basically: There's a spot for everyone on every kind of day.All the drinks and food we've ordered have been delightful. Particular fans of the mocha.”
“My cousins and I took a weekend trip to Cocoa Beach. We wanted a nice place to cool down and grab some refreshments. We loved the quiet atmosphere, cake batter ice cream, and chai latte! Chase was a great barista, he was kind and made a jam up drink.10/10 would recommend”
“Possibly the best food in Cocoa, I kid you not. They say everything is scratch made, and I absolutely believe it. The crab cakes are more crab than cake and are wonderful. The fettuccine Alfredo with blackened chicken was so good that I didn't even get to snap a photo of it before it was gone. This place is a true gem!”
“Amazing little place, upscale-beachy vibe. Phenomenal cocktails with friendly service. Menu is small but the food is outstanding. Recommend the espresso martini and ago tuna “nachos”.”
“My wife and son each had hamburgers, as they do not eat seafood. Burgers were good and juicy, and each was not able to finish. I had the fried oysters. Very good. I've been coming here since 1983 and have never had a bad meal. Excellent value and always a smile.”
“love the location. Service was great! food was decent. I think I ordered something that didn't taste well to me. I will go back again and get something else.”

“You don't expect to find some fine dining in Cocoa Beach, but this is a rare place. It has a really nice interesting menu. Service was great. And the food was really good.”
“Great service from Julio. The drinks were excellent with real fruit infused. Our steaks were perfectly cooked and the brussel sprouts were delicious! To end our amazing experience we enjoyed the key lime pie and cappuccinos.”
“Bring a big wallet! Hate when they say they have a bread board on the menu! And they charge 7. 00 for bread. Order a 8 oz steak said MP price. Bill came was $6500 nothing special!!”
“One word.. EXQUISITE!This restaurant is nestled on a quiet spot on Brevard Ave. just off A1A. Experience this place one time. You will return.The restaurant has inside and outside seating. Pleasant music ambiance. The food selection is creative and indulgent. Well prepared, great experience.”
“A gem in Cocoa beach. Great food. Blackened mahi mahi and ribeye were mouth watering. Chicken Marsala soup was delicious. Above all, we had an Exceptional service by our server Nathan.”
“The chef took amazing care of us. The fish dip was smokey and perfect, and the chicken salad was super fresh. The tacos were insane! Great ambiance! Mat our server was lovely. The yucca fries and Sriracha mayo to die for. Sour beer on tap. They the BLT it's insane!”
“Service was average. Food was okay. We ordered Q's Crackin' Crab Platter but I wouldn't spend too much money on crabs but the shrimps, potatoes and the corn with garlic butter seasoning were extremely delicious. Eould have loved to have some bread for the sauce.It wasn't enough food for the price.Parking: You Can park right in front of the restaurant.”
“First time there and I loved it. Food was delicious. I love those extra large shrimp they give you. atmosphere was great. Service was great. I will definitely be ”
“Such a great addition to the pier, fun drinks and you can add a shooter on top. The prices are reaaaally expensive, for this one it was $26 with $20 refills (and I got the smallest option). There's about 6 different cocktail options. If they lower the prices it would entice me to keep going but it's too much to keep going back when you can just bring your own drinks to the beach. Good to try at least once though for fun.”
“Karen is the best waitress! So friendly and familiar with the men. The WINGS are definitely on point! Loved every bite! I believe I had the #6 wings. I will go again when I'm back in the area. 2 thumbs up ? ? ?”
“We did not stay at the hotel, however, we found the restaurant online with good reviews. They did not disappoint! The food was delicious and we received excellent service from Nikki. Angel stopped by to make sure we had everything we needed and we certainly did. The atmosphere was lovely. We were a group of six that had not visited with each other in a while, so we were looking for a restaurant that was quiet enough that we could talk with each other. This was the perfect spot!”
“Just got take out last night from here and it was simply the best Chinese take out I have ever had. The broccoli was even cooked beautifully! The fried foods tasted fresh and not greasy. It was a delicious. Rivals San Francisco Chinese Food!”
“They made me and 5 other people move tables not once but twice. Some server lady thinks she’s the manager and is disgustingly rude. She wears sunglasses in the shape of a heart and a grey polo shirt. Our server Harvey on the other hand was fantastic. The food was delicious and came out fast. Yay to Harvey. Boo to the rest of the staff pretty much. Nice place just need to get their workers informed of what’s going on because rules are different no and I’ll get yelled at for something a server did. The real manager said the server would not “fess up” to telling us a table was reserved when they do not take reservations.”
“Went recently for a business trip first time in cocoa beach and I found this place it was wonderful. Food was awesome service was great the bartender Kayla was attentive and had a great attitude! If I’m ever back in town I’ll definitely come back!”
“Girlfriend and myself LOVED it. We had Prosecco, Oysters and the most amazing conch fitters we have ever had. Service was great, we even indulged into a rocket launch. However, the highlight of our experience was Gigi a Cuban hostess who I initially thought was the owner, as she greeted us and ensured our experience was top throughout the evening. Then as we chatted in spanish, we learned she is not the owner, but her level of professionalism and genuine sense of hospitality, really resembles someone who really cares. We will be back soon! Kudos to al the team!”

“We had a party of 13 and the were able to seat us in the middle of a rush, and still have amazing customer service. While keeping such a positive atmosphere kudos to that morning crew.”
“Haven't eaten at Denny's in years, we tried a handful of mid upscale restaurants in Florida. One thing those restaurants should do is sit at Denny's and enjoy a handful of items off the menu. Solid service too, this was for the Cocoa Beach location, the waiter who injured his leg a while back, promote him.”
“We just got to our Coco beach hotel, we were tired and hungry and on the verge of hangry. We saw the Pizza bar thinking it was buffet and that would be quick and easy and we could get back to our hotel. To our pleasant surprise, it was not buffet but instead they had gourmet pizza pies! And other stuff. We got the prosciutto pizza and meatball saled. The meatball saled was like velvet and the pizza was amazing!! We finished it off at the hotel later on.If I'm back in this neck of the woods, I will be returning!”
“Rena is the best server I have experienced in the past 20 years of coming to cocoa beach !! Wonderfully pleasant, immediately takes care of you and always makes u feel important. Who ever hired her should get a raise!!!”

“This is one of those hidden gems in cocoa beach. We come here every year for vacation and this is a Staple as part of our trip. The queso Carne asada fries are my fav!!! Everything is delicious and great prices. Their customer service is amazing and food hot and fresh. Can't wait to go back again.”
“Place was super busy and they were out of one of the items we wanted. The ice cream we did get was great but not spectacular. Was a bit pricey since any add ons were additional, like $1.00 for sprinkles and another $1.00 for whip cream on a shake.”
“love the location. Service was great! food was decent. I think I ordered something that didn't taste well to me. I will go back again and get something else.”
“Cute place in the heart of cocoa beach. Seemingly the only place open early in the morning to get coffee in cocoa beach that's not a Dunkin. The coffee is phenomenal. At least what I got was like a mix of the full nosiness of sinking and the smoothness of Starbucks. Would definitely recommend just off coffee alone.”
“Great spot in front of the beach . The wait times is crazy at times. But well worth the wait . Their frozen drinks are great . A nice spot to go if you’re in the area or just pick up a few frozen drinks before you head to the beach.”
“Sushi is perfect and the pad thai is good tooA few years ago I had a horrible customer service experience however they have really stepped up their game in that sector.We ordered 4 rolls, pad thai and drinks spent $80 really fair for fresh sushi.++ its always busy.”
“We had a large party and tried many dishes between all of us. Everything we had was incredible. Two waitresses all night for the whole restaurant that we could see and they both did amazing. I don’t think they stopped for a break all night.”
“Stopped for lunch on our way down the coast. Had the Greek omelet, Patty melt, and the Haddock basket. The food was very good. They were pretty busy, but the wait wasn't long, and the service was great.”
“Our server was great. She was attentive and got everything straight. The food was hot and tasty. The restaurant was busy and crowded, especially near the host station.”
“I’d of taken photos but the food disappeared too quickly. Everything was fresh, clean, and delicious. The Yogi Wrap & The Tuna Salad sandwich were both fantastic. ???Homemade salsa, hummus, and fantastic smoothies for dessert.”

“Eddie on the late night shift, is the best pizza maker in a 30 mile radius. He will cook you a za that you and your buddies will munch in silence. couple laughs, couple beers, you and the fellas are in for a ride when Eddie is on deck. Have a night, have bizzaro’s. You only live once!”

Drive-Thru Restaurants
“Absolutely amazing açai bowls!!!! Taste just like the ones on the north shore of Hawaii. So many options!! you can just get lost here every single afternoon for a nice healthy snack.”
“I would like to thank everyone at the Cocoa Beach location for their great service on a very large pick up order I placed Fri, 8-4-23. This was for a business meeting. Sean was very helpful when I had to call last minute and add more to the online order. Sean was very professional and got everything right. But I would like to acknowledge everyone at this location including management. Thank you so much.”
“Drove all the way from viera due to their location being closed. Got the peanut butter cup blizzard as usual. Thankful this location is open so I don’t have to drive to Orlando.”
“My modest family and I embarked on a quest for a grill, and this was our sole, not so crowded discovery. Regrettably, the culinary experience fell short of expectations; opting for fish and chips, we found the fish excessively breaded and the fries merely passable.However, the service offered a pleasant touch.On a brighter note, the ambiance proved delightful, with vistas of the sea, beach, and even glimpses of the Cape Canaveral space station. Convenient parking adjacent to the restaurant enhanced the overall experience.”
“Convenient Dunkin' just north of the Cocoa Beach main area, right on A1A. We went in to get a variety of donuts for our friends and they had a good selection.The lady behind the counter was cheerful and helpful. We made sure to give her our QR code to get our points on their rewards program. Easy parking.”
“We are on our first morning of spring break and ordered McDonald’s and DoorDash and our order was absolutely perfect. The food was hot. The drinks were just as they should be and it was seamless delivery. Thank you McDonald’s for your consistency.”
“Had Valentine's dinner here and it was completely packed. Not only did we love it but everybody else in the entire area loved it too. Very quick service. Very little wait. Outstanding food and of course too much to eat in one sitting so plan on bringing some boxes home!”
“We did not stay at the hotel, however, we found the restaurant online with good reviews. They did not disappoint! The food was delicious and we received excellent service from Nikki. Angel stopped by to make sure we had everything we needed and we certainly did. The atmosphere was lovely.

“Must see restaurant phenomenal attire on the inside and decorations! Very good atmosphere, excellent service, food cooked well and brought out in a very timely manner and all the employees that I came across very very nice! They have a lot of specials and events! Must see this ”
Cheap Eats
“Went with the husband and two adult daughters and we all loved the kombucha, the atmosphere and the wonderful service. We plan on going back while we are in Cocoa Beach!”
“Great local bar with good food and drinks. We had ghost ? hurricanes and they were potent! Tiffany was so awesome and kind. She made my husband a scratch frozen Miami Vice.”
“This place is amazing! The food that you get for your money is worth it!! Taco Tuesday is the best! The tacos are big and filling. The chips and salsa is delish too! Highly recommend this place!”
“Fun hangout right on the beach. Fun activities and games. Not a bad overdrunk vibe. On the block with other bars so definitely worth a look if you're in Coral springs.”
“This location is quite busy when we went, it took long time for our drinks which I didn't mind waiting. The server/staff were great & pleasant. Their restroom is clean. The waiting area/inside shop is clean and neat as well. Easy to order!”
“We love the view! of being right on the ocean, seeing the Cruise Ships on the horizon departing Cape Canaveral.?️The atmosphere with live music ? & the good company of customers.Of course, Scotty & Shawn are primo bartenders, BUT they didn’t have any Tanqueray Gin?! ??♀️”
“The staff was helpful. Prices seemed to be right for the area. Can get loud inside with just a few families in the building. Parking is a bit confusing. The signs say" parking for mini golf only" but the ice cream shop is in the same building you pay for a round of golf. And apparently you can't park on the streets in the area.Parking: Parking says, mini golf only, but it seems like the ice cream and mini golf are the same company. Not sure where you're supposed to park then?”
“Shredded chicken was amazing, lots of vegetable options, salsa was on point, Mar and Seanna who were serving me were extra cool ?. If I’m back in Cocoa Beach, I’m definitely stopping here.?”
“I'm a lifelong New Yorker, and I've been to more than my share of Irish pubs. For a bar in Florida, these guys have the vibe down pretty good. Fun times. Didn't have any food, so I didn't do 5 out of 5. Maybe next time.”
“We enjoyed this restaurant while staying at the Beachside hotel. Duck Dive has a great island vibe with a walk up window to order drinks and food. The mahi sandwich was great and my wife absolutely loved the tacos. Not sure why but they didn't have tartar sauce. The food was very expensive but I guess that's the price you pay for convenience. Will definitely dine here next time we are in town.”
“The staff here is amazing ! Dave at the concierge is a treat ! He cares for your well being and answers every questions I had! The staff here overall is above and beyond!Btw; try the swordfish, it’s to die for!”
“I ordered a last minute ice cream birthday cake and they could not have been more accommodating. In addition the cake was awesome! Mint chocolate chip, vanilla with chocolate fudge. Definitely recommend!!”
“Our service was very friendly and the food was fine. We had two for Tuesdays deal which has gone up from $20 to $26 in the past 2 years apparently. That’s the only reason for 4 instead of 5 stars here and my annoyance that the fishy and chips only come with one side although all the other options come with two.”
“This is a hidden gem on A1A in downtown Cocoa Beach. Beautiful large multi-level deck with excellent music and bar service. Actually has inside live dance plus outdoor bands including great reggae. Across from direct beach entry access too. Highly recommend! Dean ”
“Had a nice lunch today and Boardwalk bar. Our server was super attentive and kind. This is a great spot right on the pier so the views are fantastic. The menu is a decent size. Over half of the menu is seafood/fish so keep that in mind when coming here. For lunch I had a salmon roll and fries. The salmon was super fresh and tasted great. My friends had the poke bowl and the short rib Mac and cheese. Both of them really enjoyed meals. The only down side for me is the drink options, not much outside of rum and super sweet cocktails. Overall we had a good time!”
“Service was a bit slow at first but once Julio came to greet us the experience improved right away! He was friendly and attentive.I recommend the breakfast buffet as you can get eggs cooked to order, pastries, fresh fruit, waffles, bacon and sausage, yogurt and oatmeal!This is a good place to start your day in Cocoa Beach ?”
“They made me and 5 other people move tables not once but twice. Some server lady thinks she’s the manager and is disgustingly rude. She wears sunglasses in the shape of a heart and a grey polo shirt. Our server Harvey on the other hand was fantastic. The food was delicious and came out fast. Yay to Harvey. Boo to the rest of the staff pretty much. Nice place just need to get their workers informed of what’s going on because rules are different no and I’ll get yelled at for something a server did. The real manager said the server would not “fess up” to telling us a table was reserved when they do not take reservations.”
“Girlfriend and myself LOVED it. We had Prosecco, Oysters and the most amazing conch fitters we have ever had. Service was great, we even indulged into a rocket launch. However, the highlight of our experience was Gigi a Cuban hostess who I initially thought was the owner, as she greeted us and ensured our experience was top throughout the evening. Then as we chatted in spanish, we learned she is not the owner, but her level of professionalism and genuine sense of hospitality, really resembles someone who really cares. We will be back soon! Kudos to al the team!”

“Convenient Dunkin' just north of the Cocoa Beach main area, right on A1A. We went in to get a variety of donuts for our friends and they had a good selection.The lady behind the counter was cheerful and helpful. We made sure to give her our QR code to get our points on their rewards program. Easy parking.”
“The calzone is huge! I thought it was very good and decently priced. Hard to find good Italian, but as far as pizza and calzone goes, this place does it well. Bring an appetite!”
“Cute place in the heart of cocoa beach. Seemingly the only place open early in the morning to get coffee in cocoa beach that's not a Dunkin. The coffee is phenomenal. At least what I got was like a mix of the full nosiness of sinking and the smoothness of Starbucks. Would definitely recommend just off coffee alone.”
“I apologize... I love you guys! I am not sure if I was possessed by a demon who does not like great breakfast, fish and chips and Shepard pie not to mention beer or I was hacked! I love The Pig & Whistle since you were on Cocoa Isle's...”
“Very good food. Efficient and friendly service. There is a lot of traffic, but the place is big and without a reservation you don't have to wait long. Very large soups. Other dishes just right. It's worth a look.”
“love the location. Service was great! food was decent. I think I ordered something that didn't taste well to me. I will go back again and get something else.”
“Everything about Dat-B-Good is top shelf!! The food is as good as it gets no matter whether it's the ribs, brisket, chicken or sides! The owners are as friendly and committed to your satisfaction as anyone could hope for. We make a point of trying to get dinner from them as often as possible. An 11 out of 10 !!!”
“Oh Rachel, I just love your energy! Your food is so delicious! Home cooked food away from home! The drinks? Completely delicious! Thank you for your gracious hospitality! Tam-”
“Fun hangout right on the beach. Fun activities and games. Not a bad overdrunk vibe. On the block with other bars so definitely worth a look if you're in Coral springs.”
“Eddie on the late night shift, is the best pizza maker in a 30 mile radius. He will cook you a za that you and your buddies will munch in silence. couple laughs, couple beers, you and the fellas are in for a ride when Eddie is on deck. Have a night, have bizzaro’s. You only live once!”
“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.”

“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. :-)”
“Benjamin who was our bartender and he really took care of us perfectly he was busy but still was able to chit chat with us and answer all our questions. He was patient and very helpful. The sip and slide i ordered was so good that others in our party ordered one also. The food was really good also! We ordered a couple of appetizers the bang shrimp,the basket of fries, and crispy chicken wings with the thai chili sauce that was great to dip the wings in we asked benjamin for more blue cheese cups and we had them so fast we hadnt even opened the one had yet! Our service was fast and eeverything was hot and tasty. We all remarked that the order of bang shrimp was very tasty but that the order was huge! So overall for a beach bar it was a great experience! I do need to mention we were all totally underwhelmed by the gift shop which surprised us all! We were all ready to spend some money on stuff in the gift shop! I mean this is the famous coconuts on the beach! They had a very limited selection of sizes in all the clothing,limited colors and just a plain limited selection of trinkets and such! We all left wanting to buy more but it just wasnt to be but everything else was great!RR”
“Great spot in front of the beach . The wait times is crazy at times. But well worth the wait . Their frozen drinks are great . A nice spot to go if you’re in the area or just pick up a few frozen drinks before you head to the beach.”
“Stopped in for dinner which the food was really good. We had great service but it was almost 45 mins before we had a table. If we are ever in the area again we will give them another chance.”
“The chef took amazing care of us. The fish dip was smokey and perfect, and the chicken salad was super fresh. The tacos were insane! Great ambiance! Mat our server was lovely. The yucca fries and Sriracha mayo to die for. Sour beer on tap. They the BLT it's insane!”
“Stopped for lunch on our way down the coast. Had the Greek omelet, Patty melt, and the Haddock basket. The food was very good. They were pretty busy, but the wait wasn't long, and the service was great.”
“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?”
“Very impressed by this authentic Italian pizzeria! The pizza is tossed by hand and made fresh in their wood fired oven. The owners and staff were so kind to us and the pizza was delicious! If you’re visiting from out of town I highly recommend ordering some pizza to go and watching the sunset at Manatee Sanctuary park.”
“In town for a cruise and this place is right beside our hotel. I didn't have to get in the car and drive somewhere. The food and staff are amazing would definitely recommend this place to anyone.”
“A gang of us went there for PraiseFest. It was a great time for everyone. Lots of live music from 5 different bands. The wait staff was impeccable as was the smash burgers! Loved it!”

“Save your money on sushi! These bowls are like eating 3-4 delicious extremely healthy and tasty rolls. It was SO GOOD that I’m having a hard time putting it in words. Plus, the service is out of this world! Nicest, kindest people making sure you have the best experience. Kid friendly as well. Our little toddler spilled a drink and though I insisted I wanted to clean it up, they soothed our stress about it in the nicest way possible and cleaned our mess up with genuine smiles on their faces.I wish we had more restaurants around like this!If you’re in Cocoa Beach (or even near to it), you must treat yourself with this incredible place!Thank you Poke Fin! You’re the cherry on top of our little family vacation :)”
“Haven't eaten at Denny's in years, we tried a handful of mid upscale restaurants in Florida. One thing those restaurants should do is sit at Denny's and enjoy a handful of items off the menu. Solid service too, this was for the Cocoa Beach location, the waiter who injured his leg a while back, promote him.”
“Darlyn, Alejandra and Hermila were 10/10 tonight. Amazing service, great food. Absolutely recommend this restaurant for your taco Tuesdays and just tacos in general!! Thank you so much ladies!”
“This is hands down one of the best places for fine dining that I've ever been to! The sheer variety of dishes is awe-inspiring, and the desserts...oh my goodness, the desserts are simply out of this world! Every bite is a burst of flavor that will leave your taste buds tingling with delight. And don't even get me started on the bread - it's the stuff of dreams! With its low, sultry lighting and attentive staff, this place is pure magic. And let's not forget about the chefs - they're the best in the business! To top it all off, there's ample free parking and a beautiful outdoor seating area. You won't find a better dining experience anywhere else!”
