“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!“

“The Tiny Tavern is awesome! Visited while in Cocoa Beach on a bachelor party and it was a great experience. A truly down to Earth and welcoming local bar where we felt right at home. Everyone there was super friendly and inviting. Also, a special shout out to Barb for helping us make an unforgettable weekend!“

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

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Great place to chill with friends“

“Lean back and relax! You have arrived at the world famous Rikki Tiki Tavern. The food is delicious and fresh. The drinks are super refreshing.
I had the grouper sandwich with their homemade fries. So yummy!
Oh! The view is stunning ?. Make sure you come here.“

“Landing here was a happy accident and wow what an experience! We were welcomed like locals, treated like old friends and couldn’t recommend this place more! Food was excellent, service was top notch and the atmosphere was a blast!! Loved playing music bingo ❤️“

“Server know there Menu well and great service“

“Newer spot. First time customer.The two women behind the counter were super knowledgeable, letting me try soo many samples! They are really excited about their products and rightfully so considering they have several creative concoctions that make kava and kratom actually taste good.Wound up enjoying a 12 oz. raspberry/original kombucha mix while reading my book in a velvet chair :)Currently, the front reception area has a totally different feel then the cool bar/lounge in the back. Which, although not intentional, gives the place a bit of a speakeasy vibe.Really welcoming people. Free popcorn. I'll be back for sure.“

“Loved our dinner last night! Visiting from Virginia, and our waiter Paul was excellent with his explanations and recommendations. He even let us know about the Space X launch so we could go outside and see it! Food was so good, very large portions, reasonably priced. Wish we had one at home!“

“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 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.“

“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.“

“Five of us went to dinner at Florida Bar and Seafood after going to the beach. Our visit to the restaurant was based on the great Google reviews. We all had outstanding meals, the food was reasonably priced, the meals came quite quickly and our server (Julie-who's been there for 8 years) was attentive, very pleasant and she made the whole experience amazing. The restaurant is a gem as it's clean, quiet and the food was very good. Great place for a group of people or singles/couples. We will definitely visit again!

Parking: Quite a bit of parking and it's very convenient.

Wheelchair accessibility: We had one friend who must be accompanied by her service dog and the restaurant was very accommodating.“

“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.“

“Tokyo Japanese Steakhouse- Cocoa Beach, FL- 4 Stars "I'm sure one of the frustrations of being a Western enthusiast of Japanese food and culture is you're confronted every day with the absolute certainty that you will die ignorant." - A. Bourdain One of the reasons I dislike coming to Cocoa Beach for reviews is that there are 100 restaurants and the majority are clip joints or tourist milkers. Don't misunderstand me here, I'm not knocking the tourists, I love not having a state income tax, I am, however; knocking those that rip them off as they give other proprietors, the area and the state, in general, a bad name. Tokyo Japanese Steakhouse is a joint in the Teppanyaki style of food prep. If you are unfamiliar, this is the style that was invented in Japan post-WWII by an enterprising entrepreneur by the name of Shigeji Fujioka of the Misono chain of restaurants in Japan. Most of us here in America know this style from the Benihana restaurant chain. Certainly a tourist trap, it boasted a fun touristy décor and a light warmhearted staff. My waitress was Davina and she is on top of things, prompt and 4000 times better than Amber in my previous dining experience in Cocoa Beach. Being served by a professional of Davina's caliber finally brought my blood pressure back down from dealing with the aforementioned Amber. I asked Davina for the Surf and Turf with Scallops and medium-rare bovine. After taking the orders of the rest of the table, Davina disappeared to the back and we soon saw our chef wheeling his cart of culinary destruction to our table. Everyone knows that half of this dining experience is the show the chef puts on and this guy, while his name escapes me at the nonce, put on a hell of a show. He was awesome and the food was downright wonderful. Grilling sliced steak medium-rare is not for the novice and this chap pulled it off in spectacular fashion. The Scallops, while slightly overdone for my taste, were delightfully flavored and left a succulent aftertaste. The salad was fresh, crisp and accompanied by the obligatory ginger-sesame dressing and I found the fried rice, while not my favorite item in the world, to be cooked properly with crisp veggies and properly seasoned. I always enjoy having my food prepared in front of me. This place is technically not in Cocoa Beach proper (this is no-man's land) this must be why the food is so much better. The Big Boy says, "If you are in the mood for some tasty grub, a good show and a fun time, give this place a try! #bigboydiningout #bigboy“

“I hate being forced to white so many letters“

“Fun atmosphere, great service, ocean views, ok food. The location and service are what pull you in. Would go back just based on those 2 things alone!

Parking: Pay to park at the pier. Or park somewhere else and walk over for free. Parking is $20 to enjoy the beach and pier.

Kid-friendliness: Kid friendly foods.“

“Great food and great service from Jerry“

“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!!“

“Everything…..I had a overall great and would highly recommend this place. I will most definitely return every time I’m in the area or close.“

“What a relaxing evening. The hostess let us know when the space launch would happen and we found a great spot right outside to watch it. Then back into the cool indoors to cold drinks and fabulous oysters, loaded skins, and crab cakes. Our server made sure we had everything we needed. We just had a super time. Thank you. Can’t wait to come back to this waterfront cafe with a great water view, excellent food, and the laid back feeling we love about Florida.“

“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.“
