Restaurants in Cocoa Beach

“A restaurant that doesn't look like much from the outside, but once you step inside, you'll discover all its charm.
The service is warm and welcoming, and the waiters don't hesitate to make sure everything goes smoothly.
We had a paneer naan which was very good and well served, but lacked a little cheese. We also had tandoori shrimp (photo), chicken khuruma and chicken tikka saag.
Sensitive palates beware, however: even though we'd asked for a little spice, the dishes turned out to be a little too spicy for us. That said, the staff didn't hesitate to adapt the dishes to make them milder after our comment.
The portions are generous, the dishes very tasty and all accompanied by rice, which you can ask for again if needed.
This is a restaurant we highly recommend if you're not afraid of spicy food.”

“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”

“Great food great service and very welcoming!”

“Me and my wife got the Vietnamese BBQ pork baguettes and taro milk boba and matcha milk boba drink.

We ate half the sandwich for lunch and the rest for dinner and we will crave another boba drink, the boba is so good here so rich and creamy and tasty without being super sweet.

The owners are there working the store so they give 100% service and effort into the good they serve.”

“Staff was the best! Place was very busy, still they all made use feel welcomed. My friends raved about their meals. I ordered the scallops. Was told they were pan-fried, but the breading was quite and left more of a deep fried appearance. They tasted fine, but I probably would not order them again. There were many other fine items available to choose from.”

“Awesome little bakery, cool artwork and amazing pastries! We were visiting the area from out of state, wish we would’ve been here before our last day. The pancake cake was out of this world!”

“Great food and good service! If you like lobster, this is the place for you!”

“Server know there Menu well and great service”

“First time as pokefin. really good fresh food, I loved all the choices of proteins, toppings and sauces. They young lady behind the counter was nice and helpful. I will go back again”

“I love that the staff made me pick my table. I was alone and I was worried she’d sit me in crowded tables with lots of customers. I like to go out but hate to be too close to others. The quantity of food is surprising! I love the croissant and my Americano Espresso the most! I am only visiting and my very first time in FL.”

“On vacation here and decided to stop in for a late lunch. Such a cool vibe inside and out! Absolutely delicious food and adult beverages. Our server was Sam and she was so sweet and gave us some ideas on shopping and invited us back for Karaoke! We will definitely stop back in before we leave!”

“Don’t judge a restaurant by its cover. I did not expect the inside to be so nice and inviting. The food was beyond excellent. The service was wonderful. I still think about the Traditional hummus and the seafood dish with rice and this amazing sauce. This is my new favorite place to eat. You leave full but like you ate clean.”

“Absolutely delicious food. This is a must in Cocoa Beach.”

“Our server Tyler was the best! We just arrived to Cocoa Beach and he helped us with our drinks, food and told us about happenings at the hotel! Great experience!”

“Outstanding food prepared to order and great service! Will be back soon”

“The gelato here is unmatched! We stopped here after a day at Cocoa Beach, and we will now be regulars. Highly recommend the passion fruit!!”

“lovely little cafe we stumbled on this afternoon the best vanilla slice ive had great service with a smile ..will be back for more”

“Food and drinks are delicious and price is right. Great service very friendly. The spot is right on the beach nice view.”

“Pet friendly indoor and outdoor seating. Friendly staffs. They also have to go cup fruits chia seed yogurt etc. vegan avaliable and healthy. Most importantly they offer non dairy milk because I am on non- dairy diets”

“I thought Luna was a great place to take a date. No tvs or other distractions. There are not many tables, thus making it a more intimate experience. The food was exceptional! The only complaint I have is that I really wanted the salmon and I like it well done, but the server told me the chef would absolutely not prepare it that way! I feel like if I'm the customer, I should be able to order my food the way I like it. Otherwise, the night was great.”

“Mely was our waitress. She was spectacular with wonderful customer service for our family of four. The food was great! We will be back. Thanks Mely!!”

“Great atmosphere. Bartender was only person working, full bar and tables filled. He stayed super chill and was amazing. Calm, cool and collected. Food was great and service better. Highly recommend.”

“Absolutely my favorite tavern. I’ve met so many people there that have turned out to be very good friends. Love the atmosphere, its employees and the people who frequent there.”

“We have been enjoying Branos for several years, every time we eat here the food is fantastic and the service too !!

Dietary restrictions: Gluten free”

“We had Chef Jason's menu staples of Braised Short Ribs & NY Strip which as always were delicious. We added to that the specials for the night of Maryland Blue Crab cake for an app & Jason's double-chocolate cinnamon crumble cake along with James' deft wine pouring & overall excellent service added up to another exemplary night at Flavour Kitchen - thanks guys!”

“Great food and service!!!”

“Restaurant was delicious! Waiter Julio was absolutely fantastic, he knew the menu very well, his service was phenomenal. We were very pleased with our experience!”

“Great coffee. Had a chocolate croissant. It was heated in the microwave, so a bit soggy.

Morning sun makes most of the seating uncomfortably warm.”

“OMG! Walked into this place late Saturday night with my wife, and we were in heaven! It's a local dive bar, and it was exactly what we were looking for and much more! They had a great selection of bourbon at even better prices, the live band was spectacular playing rock from 60s, 70s and 80s, and the bartenders were awesome! Sound, vocals was spot on! Didn't get a chance to try one of their sandwiches, but we will be back to do so! It's such a great place! So happy we found this place walking distance from our place...what a gem!”

“Good food, great service in a low-key atmosphere. Going to be on our regular jaunts to Cocoa Beach.”

“I had the pleasure of dining at Pompano Grill recently and I was quite impressed. Upon entering my Party & I were greeted with a smile from to fine young men, Dominick & Austin. Whom made our dining experience exceptional with their knowledge of the food & their recommendations... We chose to sit outside & take advantage of the Beautiful weather & enjoy the ambience... Everything we had ordered was absolutely delicious & the presentation of the food was very inviting.. I give this Restaurant 5 Stars because of the Freshness & Flavor of the Food. Also for our Waiters Dominick & Austin that tended to our needs promptly & made our dining experience a pleasure.. I will be recommending Pompano Grill to all my Friends...”

“Our daughter and son-in-law suggested going there. Good food and music was promised. Everything was great! My wife had the filet mignon. It was delicious (she let me try it. ?) I ordered the goulash and was very impressed. Our server was spot on, friendly; serving our meals and attending to our needs for beverages.

We were fortunate to be there to see the Jake Walden Band. What a treat! Talent of that caliber is a rare commodity.

Yes! I'd go there again and again. Don't pass Heidi's up.”

“An absolutely awesome experience. We made reservations and had a very pleasant time here. The food was very very good and I was reasonably priced for what we got. I would definitely recommend it to anyone in this area if you have the means to enjoy it. It will be worth every penny.”

“Ate here with my family, poutine and Cuban sandwich was amazing, very nice employees, 10/10 stars!”

“Beautiful restaurant with ocean view. Went for Sundays boozy brunch! Drinks, food and service were all excellent! Can’t wait to return!”

“Truly incredible spot! The ambience is the best part, so I will start with that. This is a very busy restaurant. We went out to the pier to sit but we were sat at the bar. This wasn’t all bad because our bartender made sure we were taken care of. The view is truly spectacular from out there. I got the burnt end Mac and cheese, and being from KC, I can confirm that this was good barbecue. Despite the flavorful taste, the portion was quite small and likely wouldn’t satisfy most adults. Overall, I would definitely visit again and I think others visiting cocoa beach should too. Great job Rikki Tiki!

Parking: During the day, parking appeared to be a ridiculous $35. Once we came into the evening, the pricing signage disappeared, so we parked for free.”

“I am not sure I can use words to describe how good this place is. If you do not eat here you are missing out. As you can tell from my review so far the food is awesome. However the staff is just as friendly and awesome as the food is. If I could give 100 stars I would.”

“Needed some food while in town spending most of my time at Cape Canaveral Hospital. There were a few Chinese options equal distance away. This was exactly what I expected… except for the fact the Generals and Sesame chicken meals were really nice portions of white meat. I could barely finish mine. Two lunch plates with fried rice and a soda…~$20.50 (special served until 3pm). I would have no issue paying the higher (slightly) menu price for what you get.
And when I got back to the hospital, parked, and went to 4th floor to eat…food was still very hot. Thanks Kim Bo!”

“Great service and friendly people! We did a sunset tour with Dianne and Captain Don and it was amazing! They were incredibly knowledgeable about the local wildlife, restaurants, and attractions in the area. Very generous taking time to take pictures of family with the sunset in background. I highly recommend this tour to tourists as well as locals in the area!!”

“decent place! 10/10 service for sure. server always made sure we had drinks and was very sweet towards us. for the food, I got a gator melt with fries and a dr pepper. the drink & fries were outstanding, but I wasn't too impressed with the taste of the meat. besides that, great!

Parking: the parking for the boardwalk is 20$ per day (with restrictions) and free after 5:00 PM.

Kid-friendliness: while it is a bar, it's still fairly kid friendly.

Wheelchair accessibility: the whole boardwalk was pretty much wheelchair accessible.”

“The owners were very nice and welcoming, with big smiles on their faces. They were very accommodating. We walked in, ordered and our food was ready in 15 minutes. The food was delicious, everything was cooked to perfection and very flavorful. We had the leftovers for lunch the next day and enjoyed it all for the second time!! Thank you!!”

“Great place to grab a beer and a quick lunch. I had some fried shrimp and fries and my wife had the chicken parmesan and spaghetti. The shrimp was really big and fresh, but my wife was not so happy with the sauce that was used for the chicken parmesan.
The wait staff was very friendly and attentive. The prices are a little higher than I would like. Very convenient being next to the the surf shop.”

“First time here and definitely will be back. Amazing food”

“My husband and I enjoyed a tasty dinner tonight at very reasonable prices. Our server Kristi H was so personable ,attentive and efficient . The dining area was very clean and comfortable. Upon leaving the venue , another young server wished us a good evening and thanked us for coming in!”

“Fast and friendly service the food was really good nice neat and clean place no complaints here will eat here again”

“Great place love the story and service and food is amazing. You have to try the organic iced coffee with peanut butter. When coming to the place it’s in the back of the building just in case you can’t find it.”

“My daughter and I live in Orlando about 45 minutes from Cocoa Beach where this awesome cafe is located. On our way home we stopped to see what they may have for a snack. My daughter got an Acai bowl and I got the Chocolatta. It was hard to make up our mind because of so many choices, and the plus to this cafe is the coffee prices are so reasonable, and there are many healthy alternatives you can choose here as well. They have Avocado toast, a frozen coconut water drink, smoothies, sugar free ice cream choices along with regular ice cream choices, you can choose almond milk as well for the drink you choose. They have healthy lunch choices as well. Today we saw the lunch special was chicken sausage Quesadilla , hummus, plantain chips. There are veggie quesadillas as well. There are blueberry sconces and a variety of cakes to choose from as well as a variety of ice cream flavors as well. The guy who served us yesterday there around 4:45 was extremely helpful, patient and served us with a smile! We hope to return next week !”

“Such a lovely place!!! The community vibe is fantastic; it feels like a home away from home where everyone is friendly and open to conversation.

The kava itself was top-notch, with a great selection of strains that offered unique flavors and effects. The staff is knowledgeable and always ready to recommend the best options based on your preferences.

But for me, what truly set this place apart is the sense of community. It’s a gathering spot for people from all walks of life, and the regular events they host foster connections and friendships. Whether you’re a kava enthusiast or just curious to try it for the first time, Bula is definitely worth a visit. I can’t wait to go back!”

“The food was a mixed bag, my ribs weren't great but my wife's steak was fantastic. The restaurant is fun and the gator tank made my kiddo happy, overall the experience was positive and the service and drinks were great.

Parking: Parking was easy, it shares lots with the best Western. It was free when I went.

Kid-friendliness: Kids will like it, it's got a cool nautical theme and a small gator tank.

Wheelchair accessibility: Fully wheelchair accessible”

“Delicious ice cream at a great price and wonderful flawless service at our visit.”

“Food was excellent! There is perfection in the Cooks cooking! Dad had shrimp and pollock plate, me steamed shrimp, hubby Mahi sandwich and the side sauces were some of the best I've tasted. All out in timely manner and all Hot! Waiter was Awesome also.

Wheelchair accessibility: Large enough spaces”

“The Rick burger was a great treat. Dipped in mustard ? ?. The smoothies are thick and rich. Waaaay better than any smoothie shop. We had a very nice time. I love their menu. Every option tells you if it is gluten-free vegan or just delicious.”

“Great pizza and food excellent service”

“Hands down - the best BBQ on the Space Coast. Dat B Good has raised the bar. Brisket is perfection. Ribs - fall off the bone delicious. ..and hopefully Lewis and Cheryl will market their sauce. Do yourself a favor and treat your palate - you'll go back for more...”

“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.”

“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!”

“Your restaurant is not welcoming. I feel like I’m in a church banquet room. By the way, Eastern Jewish People invented the bagel.”

“Siam Orchid- Cocoa Beach, FL- 4 Stars COCOA BEACH. MELBOURNE IS DIFFERENT OWNERS "Thai food ain't about simplicity. It's about the juggling of disparate elements to create a harmonious finish...Some westerners think it's a jumble of flavors, but to a Thai...it's the complexity they delight in." - Unknown "Oh, yay." I sarcastically thought as the name of yet another Thai Sushi place winked at me from the window of my random name generator. I say this because according to my Thai friends and other people I know who live in Thailand, they don't eat much sushi, if at all, there. While one would think this is the other end of the chain of the Siam Orchid I previously reviewed in Melbourne, you would be mistaken. It has completely different owners at this point. This probably occurred during the later unpleasantness the restaurants went through. For more information see the internet. I found the place clean and aptly decorated for what it was, Americanized Thai. My waitress introduced herself as Oi and at one glance I came to the conclusion that her parents were big fans of 80s punk rock or Australia. I joke, I joke! She was outstanding. I asked Oi for an order of the Green Curry with Tofu (I was trying to avoid the rubbery chicken of Chez Quan and Senzu), a Four Seasons roll, an order of Tuna Nigiri and a surprise menu find of Egg Drop Soup. Not only do I get to sample the cuisine in the style of Thailand and Japan, but I get China added into the mix. Score! It wasn't too long before I noticed Oi nimbly approaching with my order. After snapping a few quick photos for you visual learners, I grabbed my fork and dug into the Green Curry. This is bloody fantastic curry! It is properly spiced, the veggies are farm fresh and the rice a pure delight to eat. The Four Seasons roll consisted of Tuna and Escolar. While rolls are an American twist on the food traditionally associated with and introduced to the US by Japan, like flour tortillas or General Tso's chicken to their respective cultures, I found this roll to be exquisitely gratifying to my taste buds. If you take just a second and glance back or look at the photos I ask that you just take a moment and really look at that tuna. I don't think it was caught this morning off the coast here, but you could have fooled me. It was so fresh, if I squinted I could swear it moved. I also found the egg drop soup to be wholly wonderfully flavored and an excellent side to an experience of pure culinary jouissance. The Big Boy says, "If you pass this Siam Orchid up, you are either a fool or not a fan of Thai food or sushi!" #bigboydiningout #bigboy #bigboyeats”

“The burgers were fabulous. The bison burger was amazing too. Almost too big to get your mouth around. Must try. We also loved the beer. Order a flight to sample many.”

“I drive out of my way from where I live to go get acai bowls from AE. It's shocking how something healthy can be so delicious! My friend has a 5 year old boy who chooses their acai bowls any day over chicken nuggets or hot dogs. They have tons of options for toppings, the fruit is super fresh, and it's very convenient for those heading to Cocoa Beach for the day. ???”

“friendly staff, dynamite selections, hot or cold. Speedy and professional service”

“Great service & fresh snacks!”

“Nice place good food but when I ask for a bag for the sandwiches they said just grab one, that was the behind the counter with the napkins! Seriously you can't bag your own sandwiches, Good thing I didn't give him a tip!”

“Clean facility. Staff should be a little more welcoming. They did not speak until they were spoken to.”

“I like ordering ahead and skipping the line”

“The manager Haley was screaming and cussing every time I come in besides that, the food was pretty ok and out in a timely manner :)”

“I ordered a Fillet of fish sandwich with extra cheese, shredded lettuce and sliverer onions and I actually got it.This is the first McDonald that actually made it like I wanted and it was fresh and hot. Fries were perfect! Hot and fresh!”

“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!”

“Stopped in from our cruise stop and had an amazing experience at this bar. They allowed our husbands to smoke their cigars in their outside area. They also had a great band! Tiffany was the best bartender, remembered us and our order each visit, was friendly and funny! Can’t wait to return! Thank you for making our trip enjoyable!”

“Awesome staff and management. Good food. Good Beverages. Overall great experience. A business that has their customers at their best interest!”

“Great location on the beach. We had a drink while waiting for our table at Coconuts on the Beach right next door.”

“I had the prime rib, shared it with my sister, and it was delicious! So tender and moist, absolutely wonderful! The bread pudding was a perfect ending! My other sister had the hamburger and she loved it! Thank you for another great meal!”

Kid-friendliness: Yes, kid friendly

“It looks expensive, but it’s not the drinks were reasonable the food was fantastic. This is a great place to kick back and unwind with a view of all the action and an unbelievable upstairs bar with very crafty drinks you have to go check it out.”

“What a great staff. We showed up in the middle of a torrential downpour during Hurricane Debbie. The staff had towels ready for us to help dry off in the lobby while checking in. Room was nice and clean and big. The staff at the Bistro was super friendly and made it so we didn’t have to leave in the middle of a storm to grab dinner. Thanks to everyone at the hotel.”

“Omggggg this food. These drinks. The service. All top notch. Some of the absolute best I’ve had. Not just in Cocoa. The drinks were strong and tasty, the food was fresh and absolutely delicious. We had the Caribbean jerk wings and the chile lime fries. The service (Louis) was excellent and friendly. I can’t recommend this place enough. Thank you for a great experience here.”

“Good to find a sugar free option. Ice cream was good, service was not great at all. If you don’t want to scoop ice cream for a living, please find a new job. We don’t necessarily go out for ice cream for the eating of the ice cream, but for the experience of making memories with family - snapping at us about our cone choice and throwing a paper bowl at an obviously dressed US Army Veteran is about as ridiculous of service as you can get.”

“I grew up eating shaved ice in Hawaii and when I moved to the states I never found a placed. Came to cocoa beach for vacation and saw Maui j. The gentleman at the front was really nice and worked fast. For my folks who grew up in Hawaii, he had li hing mui powder!!!!!!!! I hate I’m leaving soon but I’m glad I got to get my shaved ice.”

“Pleasant staff and fun course”

“Great place to chill with friends”

“There aren’t a lot of Peruvian restaurants in Brevard county, so I was excited to come across this one! Their ceviche is delicious and they have my favorite other dish that’s lomo saltado! I’m looking forward to going back again ☺️”

“Probably the best carnitas burrito I’ve had to date.”

“The manager Haley was screaming and cussing every time I come in besides that, the food was pretty ok and out in a timely manner :)”

“Your restaurant is not welcoming. I feel like I’m in a church banquet room. By the way, Eastern Jewish People invented the bagel.”

“We were from out of town and we came across this gem!! We love British culture and American!! What a great combo. Our waiter's name was Iman and he was the best we've ever had.
