21 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Cocoa

“I was part of a party of four. Everyone in our party was amazed by the wide selection of dishes, by the waitstaff professionalism, and then by the truly exceptional tastes of the dishes we enjoyed. We are well traveled vegan diners with two in our party this day from Great Britain. We decided to split the foods we ordered so that we could enjoy the array of food so well presented. We all ecstatically enjoyed the Monte Cristo, Reuben, Drumsticks, CrabCakes, 321 Nachos w/ Impossible added, Fried Green Tomatoes, Mac and Cheese side, House Seasoned Fries, Fried Green Tomatoes and cake! Highly recommended for tasty foods, presentation, ample portions, ambiance and staff. We already have plans to return.“

“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.“

“It’s just the best breakfast / lunch restaurant in town! Their chicken and waffles is the thing dreams are made of. I’ve never been disappointed in their food, service or selection. If it comes from their kitchen, it’s going to be a treat!“

“This is by far some of the best BBQ I've ever had. 100% is the best thing I've ever had in Florida. Better than some of the barbecue I've had in Texas.“

“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.“

“Great!! Food and service!!“

“Best craft Pilsner in Central Florida! 😎“

“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.“

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

“Home cooking at its finest. Absolutely delicious! Very friendly staff!“

“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“

“Good food, good service, good prices. Friendly staff. A diner done right.“

“I love going to Time Out for lunch or after work. Staff here is great and fun, food is well worth the money, and its a very chill relax spot“

“Our go to burger place. Their French burger with bison is amazing.“

“The best food with a view!!!“

“Missy always takes such great care of us! She remembers what our drinks are, confirms with us and usually has them to us as we’re getting seated. I get excited when I see her when we walk in, she always greets us with a big smile and seats us at our usual table if available.“

“The only problem I have with the food is the barbeque sauce itself. It's not bad, but it's very average and a little too heavy on the vinegar. The food meanwhile is cooked very well. Smoked. Dusting of rub. Good moisture. And the feast for four can feed a family for at least a couple days.

I just wish the barbeque sauce was better. Would make the prices worth it.

Dietary restrictions: Pork, Beef, and Poultry options are all on the menu for those who abstain from specific meats, like pork.“

“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.“

“Currently enjoying cold leftovers and I can’t tell you what a struggle it has been to find on-point Chinese food in Brevard. I moved here from a large foodie city a decade ago (I know, I know, Boo-Hiss) and tried so many places I eventually gave up.

Last night after a rough shift I got the sort of soul-hankering that can only be soothed by Lo-Mein and happened upon this place. My partner and I ordered a couple of dishes and each was a hit! They know how to throw down in that little kitchen and the staff was very friendly and warm.

If any of my northern brethren have also been long searching for the comforting flavors that remind them of meals from their communities back home, look no further.“
