27 Best Seafood Restaurants in Cocoa Beach

“Celebrated a dear friends birthday this evening and everything was wonderful. Nathan our server was very attentive and personable. Been coming here for over 20 years and it never disappoints. The owners always come out to greet us if they're there. The filet mignon and lobster tails are our faves. Looking forward to coming back in soon! Great place for casual or celebratory gatherings.“

“Fresh as fresh can be fish and seafood, expertly prepared and presented. Creative and flavorful sides made with care and genuine love for food craft. Decadent desserts that are so incredible I have dreams about them.“

“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.“

“We've been coming here for 8 years and have always had great seafood & service!!“

“Where has this place been my whole life? Tucked into a little strip mall its hard to notice. The food leaves no doubt why its been around since 1975. The Crab legs were the best prepared I have ever had and don't forget the Key Lime Pie!“

“First time here last Saturday and it was AMAZING. We were welcomed as soon as we walked in. The staff were attentive, polite and knew every detail on the menu. Our waiter, Austin was fabulous and so pleasant (and extremely cute). I even chatted with Chef Ricardo who, even though he was super busy, spent a few minutes talking with me. I had the macadamia crusted mahi mahi. It was superb! This place is a little hidden gem. Will definitely be back the next time I’m in Cocoa Beach. Thank you Chef Ricardo and your amazing staff!“

“Katie was very nice and made our experience wonderful. She went above and beyond, making us feel truly special with her warm attention to detail.

Kid-friendliness: Very affordable and high quality breakfast buffet with many healthy options for kids.“

“Loved the atmosphere. The food was good but not the best. Not for the prices. Our server was nice and explained anything we needed to know, like do not feed the birds.
I got the calamari and the oysters. Never had oysters like this before, but they were good.“

“Neat little mom and pop type establishment. We stopped there on our beach day in the middle of our Walt Disney World trip. There aren't many good seafood restaurants here in Minnesota besides the big names. So it was a bit of a different atmosphere than we are used to. The experience was quite refreshing. The food and service was great.“

“Great food great service and very welcoming!“

“Visiting from out of state. If you're in the area on a Tuesday where a lot of places are closed, they are not!
Fantasticcc food Fantasticcc crew Fantaasticcc location. They are very friendly and I live for the service. Even the cook came out before we left and asked us how the food was. Their hibachi is legit and the bowls are on point. I even had leftovers.
The price is right, you won't be overpaying and is good for your budget.“

“Loved this place, great food,great atmosphere and we loved our waitress Brook D,She was not only a sweet person but an excellent waitress..We will definitely be stopping by again ! Hopefully we will have the same waitress.... 😁“

“Great restaurant with very good Italian food. The starters were great, and the bread with the olive oil was simply great!! The pizza surprised us and the leftovers were taken away. The small one would have been enough too ?
Highly recommended“

“What a great addition to Cocoa Beach! So safe, welcoming as soon as you walk in the door. Beautiful decor, they did it right! And I am now a kombucha fan!! Thank you!“

“⚜️Review of the Plates from Cocoa Beach Pier Restaurant:

⚜️Fried Shrimp Lo Mein Bowl:
This dish features a bowl of lo mein noodles topped with fried shrimp, drizzled with a creamy sauce, and sprinkled with black and white sesame seeds. The shrimp looks crispy and well-seasoned, providing a satisfying crunch with each bite. The lo mein noodles are paired with fresh vegetables like julienned cucumbers, carrots, and a side of kimchi, adding a fresh, tangy element to the dish. The combination of crispy shrimp with the soft noodles and crisp veggies creates a balanced and flavorful experience. This bowl is an excellent choice for those who enjoy a mix of textures and flavors with an Asian-inspired twist.
⚜️Burger with Curly Fries:
The second plate features a classic cheeseburger with bacon, served alongside seasoned curly fries. The burger is topped with melted cheese and crispy bacon, which adds a smoky and savory element. The soft burger bun contrasts nicely with the crunchy bacon and juicy patty. The curly fries are perfectly seasoned and look crispy, accompanied by a dipping sauce that complements the fries well. This dish is a go-to option for someone looking for a hearty and classic American meal.

Overall Review:?????

⚜️Both dishes offer distinct dining experiences. The Fried Shrimp Lo Mein Bowl is a great choice for those wanting a combination of crispy seafood and flavorful noodles, while the Burger with Curly Fries is a classic, indulgent comfort food option.

“The last night of our short vacation in Cocoa Beach, my wife, son and I brought our dogs to the dog-friendly outdoor seating at Sunset Cafe. We're totally glad that we did - the service was fantastic (shout out to Jamie!!!), the food was prepared perfectly and came out quick. Absolutely the best conch fritters I've ever had. And genuinely, their fried foods were amazing with the perfect ratio of breading to seafood, good enough to remark on. My wife got a mahi filet with jalapeno cream sauce (a special) and we were blown away by how fantastic it was.

Oh - and the sunset was pretty nice, even though the sun had to poke through some heavy clouds. The vibe was nice, no mosquitos. Just a fantastic night - thanks again Jamie and the rest of the folks at Sunset.“

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

“Julio was the best, attentive and always there with customized effort to make our experience the very best…. Then we tasted the food! Please let the cooks, the whole staff know…one of best meals in the last 4yrs here in Florida!

Special shout out to our bartender that night Jarrod (spelling may be ? wrong) sorry! Made us 3 drinks, with ease and they were out of this world with a touch of that black salt for my margarita… chefs kiss… great night at the bar!

The vibe is really good, light music so you can talk to each other but groovy enough to sit and listen… coming from Miami to see the Space Force base, this was an extra great atmosphere! ? a space joke?….

If you’re in the area, breakfast was all American buffet with warm cooked food or you could order off the menu but it was all fresh!

Get lunch at the tiki bar, staff was anxious to assist you and keep the drinks coming but they have a burger ? for the tiktoks! Amazing…

You can’t go wrong here… pictures can’t tell you just how great it was but definitely a 10/10 recommend! ????“

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

“Ate here after checking out the pier. Sat at the outside bar and the waitress was very welcoming and friendly. I ordered the fried pickles and tried gumbo for first time and was sooo goood!! Tasted fresh and homemade. Was a bit pricey but worth it. Great place with chill vibes.“

“A true Gem in Cocoa Beach! Joe the sever is very knowledgeable and precise with his meal pacing. Mark the piano player provide excellent live music, playing all the favorites. The lighting has a few different shades of white in the room. The truly white LED type lighting is not attractive and I recommend the bulbs be matched to the others. Food is exquisite! Only disappointment is that a long term server Monica is no longer employed there. This will limit our returns as Joe and Her are truly best servers, will only return when Joe is working.“

“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 ☺️“

“Surprisingly Tasty! Very casual, old, 1/2 surfboard tables. My guy ordered crabcakes with lots of crab which he really enjoyed. It had too much Old Bay or some kind of seasoning for me. He had a good baked potato too.
I had the Tuscan Trio - mahi topped with some crab mixture and one shrimp in a Parmesan garlic cream sauce. It was very good! Accompanied by wild rice mixture which soaked up the cream
sauce. Yummy! Lightly cooked green beans. Excellent meal! And unexpected. Friendly and helpful server too!“

“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.“
