Fun place, especially on Sundays with a live band, bikes, airboat rides. A lot of fried food, but its great on a cheat day!. Fried catfish, frog legs and gator are fantastic.

Although I have lived in Brevard County since 2011, this is my 1st trip to this iconic Space Coast tourist trap (in the good way). Dixie Crossings, you're next! Where 520 meets the St. Johns River, this Old Florida joint is not quite as grand as I envisioned. Squat, mostly open-air building with a simple indoor (air-conditioned) dining room, a covered bar and seating area, a riverside deck with umbrella-shaded tables, and a few tables under a giant Oak tree. However, the food is very good (although mostly fried), the service is excellent, and yes, you can take an airboat out onto the river to see snakes, alligators, and Brevard/Orange Counties' almost-famous Swamp cows! Welcome to West by God Cocoa!

We have been going here for years. We had the pleasure of bringing D and V, our grandchildren for lunch today along with a airboat ride. Thanks to Captain Kenny and Denise, D and V said it was a lot of fun seeing the alligators, cows, etc. up close and that you made it a great experience for them. Thanks!!

VERY EXPENSIVE TOURIST TRAP!! The prices on your receipt are higher than stated on the menu!!! Sells FARMED FISH FROM VIETNAM at a local 'fish camp'!!!
Don't order the fish!! It's garbage farmed fish from Vietnam called Swai🤮🤮 It was revolting. I didn't know why until I looked it up. I'm so glad I spit it in my napkin. Hush puppies tasted like old onion rings. The prices on the receipt are 10% higher than the menu states. The only thing good was the Cole slaw. Very expensive TOURIST TRAP!!! We're locals and won't be back.
The waitresses were very nice and I feel sorry for them for having to serve such disgusting 'food.'

Best deep south food I've ever had. The frog legs, gator, and catfish were to die for!

It’s hard to rate the service on this one as everyone EXCEPT our server Destiny did a great job. She took our order and disappeared, I GUESS SHE HAD ADDED THE GRATUITY IN SO SHE FELT SHE DIDN’T HAVE TO EARN HER TIP! We either had another server get what we needed or went to the bar for refills on tea. My food was good but others in our party was not so much, some of the slaw was warm and not cold. I come here every time I come to Florida, which is usually several times a year to visit family who come often. Just disappointed in the service this time.
Laid back, open air, keeping it simple. Get you some fried food right on the water. Gator was well fried and seasoned, but be prepared, it’s a little chewy. Goes very well with the sauce, not even sure what it’s called but don’t care. Catfish was very tasty, fries were well fried and crispy. Some flies and birds may come visit, but it’s all good. Don’t go too fast on those Cutwater vodka drinks!

They will sell you food without telling you the ingredients. The menu doesn't disclose that the gator is fried (gluten) so without knowing I ordered a pound of gator and boom, I spent $26 on a pound of food I can't eat. Wild they didn't disclose the cooking style of the food when I'm spending over $25 on one meal. Really bad service with no manners. Never coming back, Goodluck to those who do.
