18 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Cocoa

“Stopped for brunch this morning first time there. It’s a typical diner. Was disappointed that a business that says Mitchell’s Mimosas had no champagne to make mimosas. It’s not far from a few places that they could’ve picked up a few bottles of sparkling wine if running low. It is Father’s Day after all. Best part of entire experience was the very friendly, efficient waitress Trinity. She was attentive, suggested a few things on the menu, ensured beverages were filled. Food was good- typical diner. Is it a place I would go out of my way for? Probably not. But if I do, I would want Trinity as my server.“

“We are regulars to Muddies on Sunday am and sometimes during the week. Today I had the shrimp basket for breakfast. I saw it last Sunday and thought I would have it today. I was not disappointed at all! Great breakfast item. We love all the staff, friendly, thoughtful and quick to smile. We love Carrie, Debbie and MS Bonnie. The owners John and Debbie are always quick to please no matter how busy they may bee. thank you for wonderful breakfast or lunches. We appreciate everyone's hard work. Thank you everyone.“

“I had lunch today and the brisket and pulled pork was out of this world. The service was exceptional and the staff was extremely friendly. I'll definitely be back.“

“Check this place out if you are in the area. Their food is great and I love their coffee. You will not be disappointed!“

“I bought 4 friends for lunch on Saturday as this has been my favorite restaurant in Brevard County since the 70's. Even had my daughter's pre-wedding luncheon there. These 4 ladies had never been to the Cafe. Their meals were fabulous. The waitresses were amazing. We had a different waitress who took our coffee order. I did not get her name. She was blonde and short. She began to get rude and continued until we left. So what would have been a lovely experience, ended. They will never go back.“

“Best craft Pilsner in Central Florida! 😎“

“I really really like the shrimp and vegetables PHO, and absolutely 💕 the Summer Rolls and Peanut sauce. UBER delivery is always quick!“

“The best spicy tuna we’ve ever had. Always stop in for dinner or lunch when we are in the area. They also have some of the best Thai food I’ve found in Florida! Always great staff and friendly service. You won’t be disappointed.“

“Cocoa Beach, FL. Surprisingly fresh and healthy salads! The menu’s not just hamburgers and pub food. They have a good variety of salads.

As a birthday treat, we came here to Cocoa Village as my friend wished. When we got hungry, Pub Americana met our health needs.

Their Wedge Salad featured Gorgonzola cheese, crisp bacon chunks, cherry tomato halves, thin red onion slices and blue cheese dressing over a couple little wedges of iceberg lettuce. It was delicious and filling and it met my needs for a low carb, lower-potassium meal.

My friends both got the Steak Caprese salads: Grilled tenderloin steak bites (a lot of them!), fresh mozzarella, grape tomatoes, Arcadian greens drizzled with a balsamic reduction. They were delighted with how good everything tasted.

We sat outside and enjoyed the fresh sea air. Pub Americana is across the street from Taylor Park, and beyond that you can see the ocean.

Like many of the establishments in Cocoa Village, Pub Americana welcomes dogs, so we had two furry friends sitting near us with their families.

Our server (short dark hair) was wonderful. They knew what they were doing, remembered all the details, kept our glasses topped off, and checked on us and everyone outside very well. This was on Saturday, 5/31/25, around 1:25 pm.

I recommend sitting outdoors here, if you can.

By the way, their bathroom is to the left of the entrance and you go down a big dip in the floor that’s hard to see. Both my friends stumbled a bit going down and up that section of flooring. They commented the incline down could be better marked with a warning.“

“Rec 225- Cocoa, FL- 3.75 Stars "I lurched away from the table after a few hours feeling like Elvis in Vegas - fat, drugged, and completely out of it." ― Anthony Bourdain Getting back into the swing of things post--Covid has been great for the Big Boy and I hope for you as well. Thank you for all the comments, supportive and not so supportive. As you can see, I take each one to heart and answer straightforward. I do not cut corners in my reviews, nor do I apologize for them. Finding myself meandering up the Space Coast, I grabbed my random eatery generator and punched in my location. A few nearby eateries popped up and I found myself near the local star, Cryderman's Barbecue. Curious as to who could hang in the same neighborhood, I ventured into Rec 225. The first impression was one of spic and span clean, like your kitchen when you know guests are coming over. Grabbing a table, our waiter Jo-Jo came over to see how we were doing. It turns out that Jo-Jo is also the owner and not only cares about the customer but obviously takes pride in his business as he was welcoming, friendly, knowledgeable and just downright awesome. Honestly, I can't say enough good things about Jo-Jo. I placed an order for their eponymous sandwich, the 225, along with one Mac & Cheese grilled cheese and a side order of Bacon and Bleu fries. As for a drink, I went with the vaunted Jarritos Orange (how can you go wrong with this liquid concoction of pure delight?). Waiting eagerly for the foodstuffs to arrive I continued to glance about the place and found the interior charming. Before too long, Jo-Jo came back with my order, placed it upon my table and offering a sincere, "Enjoy your meal," Jo-Jo went off to address other patrons. Looking at the pictures you can see that everything certainly did look scrumptious! Grabbing the self-named sandwich, The Big Boy went to work. Comprised of bacon, Gouda, french fries, and tomato pesto on garlic Texas toast it was a delicious mouthful of exquisite flavor. The combination of the bacon and Gouda was enough to send one's taste buds into a dance of joy, add to that the fresh tomato pesto and the perfectly golden fries and you are entering the taste bud danger zone! Seriously, I thought mine were going to sashay right out of my mouth they were so pleased with the flavors found in this masterpiece of a sandwich. It almost felt like a crime when I set it down and turned my attention to the Mac & Cheese grilled sandwich, but a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do. This was far from the simple grilled cheese we all ate as a kid. This incorporated classic mac&cheese with Gouda served on Texas toast. Grilled in butter to a perfect golden hue, it was thoroughly enjoyable on the palate. What I can say about the fries? They were cooked just right and smothered in bleu cheese and bacon. How could you go wrong? The Big Boy says, "If your not nearby, make an excuse to be nearby and grab some incredible grub!" #iamthebigboy #bigboydiningout“

“The best spicy tuna we’ve ever had. Always stop in for dinner or lunch when we are in the area. They also have some of the best Thai food I’ve found in Florida! Always great staff and friendly service. You won’t be disappointed.“

“The best food with a view!!!“

“I frequent this place quite often. Every experience there has been wonderful. I could continue to gush like a kid with a crush but I won’t. Although, I will say that delivery 🚚 driver, Jenée Joy Krzyston, she definitely deserves a raise if she still works there. Side note 📝: She is even hotter than your pizza 🍕. Thanks for all the meals you have prepared for my family. We appreciate all that you do.“

“This place is amazing. The food is always consistently good. I love that the owner knows my number and if somebody else comes to pick up my food she inquires about me. It feels like I'm visiting family everytime I go in. Our usual go tos are the general tsos extra spicy, wonton soup, moo shu pork, and of course my favorite her house made mustard!“

“I want to give a huge shoutout to Missy at IHOP — she was absolutely amazing! If I could rate this experience 6/5 stars I definitely would! From the moment we sat down, she was so attentive, friendly, and welcoming. She constantly checked in to make sure me and my family were doing okay and had everything we needed. Her great attitude and warm energy made our visit extra enjoyable. Thank you, Missy, for the wonderful service — you truly made our day! 💙“
