“We stayed at the hotel across the street before and after our cruise. When we asked for a food recommendation when we arrived, she told us to go try the “Crack Mac” across the street. We were so glad that she gave us the recommendation. We had been to multiple different restaurants over the previous weeks and this was the first time that EVERYONE was happy with their food. There wasn’t a single complaint. We went on the cruise and I craved the burger and Mac n cheese the entire time. We all agreed that we were going back to Big Daddy J’s when we got back. We did and it was delicious again. If I ever return to Cocoa Beach, Big Daddy J’s will be a must visit for me.“

“Was starving for a restaurant-styled burger and popped in to The Preacher Bar. Burger was outstanding! Delicious and cooked exactly the way I ordered it - rare.Cool friendly staff and very relaxing interior. Lots of locals except for me. Give it a try!“
“Loved the food, I don't eat fries often, but theirs, i absolutely had to have them they were the best I have had in a long time! The service was so good, attentive, welcoming, and helpful! Would recommend this place, definitely want to come back to enjoy the outdoor music!“
“I would definitely eat there again! We needed something quick and not too expensive and stopped in for some pizzas. Great outdoor seating, super-friendly staff, and yummy food. Couldn't see the ocean because it was dark, but we were able to walk over to the beach for a few minutes while we waited for our food. Also, the bathroom was amazingly clean, which I would not have expected from a place so close to the beach.“
“This place is so good, the village should be subsidizing it for the privilege of having an establishment of this quality around. Not even kidding, it's that good. You cannot justify being in Cocoa Beach for any length of stay and not stopping in here!Drinks at the bar were phenomenal, and service super quick and friendly.Can't wait to be back on our next Cocoa Beach trip!“
“Quaint little place on Lake Washington road adjacent Publix and Dunkin. Passed by here hundreds of times and always wanted to try; finally did. Very cool place, small pub, several tables, friendly staff, beer on tap, laid back atmosphere, tables outside, great fish and chips. Wish I'd have gone in sooner. Will definitely be back.“
“All I can say is WOW. I'm a bit of a tough critic and this place is awesome. The bar tender was incredible. The selection is great. Within a few tasters, she made suggestions that were spot on on mixing beers together that I never would have thought. Atmosphere wise, lots of bar games to play for free.To top it off, they give you beer in plastic cup so you can walk around the little downtown area. Truly awesome.“
“This place is amazing!!! I am a first timer kava bar patron. This place was perfect. The owner and her son were soo helpful in their suggestion. Samples given. Knowledgeable of each drink and the benefits. Kava, Kratom and kombucha. Lots of flavors. Free popcorn and also has menu items. I tried 1 strawberry kratom tea and 1 watermelon mix kava. My friend has raspberry kombucha. All delicious and after about 30 min i started feeling relaxed. Very nice customers also. Overall couldn't have asked for a better first time experience.“
“Jonathan's has been around for years and is well known to the locals drinks are decent prices are good food selection is not so great but what they do have is very good also pricing for the food is decent plenty of places to sit down convenient parking and not too far off the beach if you're a tourist visiting I would suggest stopping by there to grab a bite at half the price of what it's going to be on the beach side“
“No food! Just chips n munchies. Great service customers are mixed locals and tourists. Cool atmosphere. Great place. Plenty of beers!Kid-friendliness: Bar tenders were awesome!Wheelchair accessibility: Front door is easier but the left can be accessed as well.“

“An awesome place to hang out. I'm always meeting the coolest people. The atmosphere created by the staff is friendly and inviting. I recommend doing some googling about the drinks before you start. It's different than a regular bar but as I said, very cool. ?“
“Everything I love about local business is rolled up into Traditionals. It's creative, it's different, and it's punk rock! They have a killer beer selection and the staff/owners are the absolute best types of people on earth.Get on Facebook and book an appointment with Becca and have a beer while she works her magic. Easily the best barbershop experience I've ever had, and worth every penny!“
“Super fun spot for some dancing. Keep in mind they don't open till 10. (Kinda late for us millennials). This is the spot if you want the younger crowd and the younger music that's popular now. We didn't stay long but will come back next time!“
“It’s a pretty incredible place especially when you’re talking right up on the beach. Great food great vibes but tremendously busy. The service was slow but you could tell they were short staffed. Our server was very polite and the food was good. The drinks were even better. Soon as you’re done eating the beach is literally 20 feet away. Id highly recommend“
“Friendly staff, dog friendly, and good beer. What more do you need? A food truck parked outside, you say? They have that too! Board games and cards? They have that too? An outdoor beer garden? You guessed it, they have one of those too. They have a great rotating selection of beers that make this place a must when you're in Cocoa Village.“
“First time I went there I was welcomed and treated like I was Norm at Cheers... cheap prices and great people. They have a tiki bar right out.on the lake. Amy is amazing there... always something going on to make your night fun. Darts, pool tables and dancing.“

“I cannot begin to express how amazing this place is. First of all, we came in as a party of seven… The service was amazing (shout out to Ry), it was busy, but we were greeted right away and given some sugared pastries (I forget what they’re called). Drinks came out lightening fast, appetizers were prepared in the heavens!!! (Ask for the fried lobster) and the main course did not disappoint. Atmosphere was super chill with good music dialed down to the right volume… this place is special, we will definitely be back!! Everyone was really friendly and accommodating, down to the host! BRAVO ??“
“3.29.24 Happy Birthday Dinner - My Rusty’s Scampi and my partners Coconut Shrimp were excellent. Perfectly cooked penne pasta, tender and flavorful shrimp and scallops, large tasty shrimp and off the charts service for our large group. Always enjoy Rusty’s food and ambiance!Excellent service and my Mahi Caesar Wrap was delicious and had a nice portion of Mahi. The draft beer was not very cold. Good solo guitarist.“
“Low Key ? and super chill but apparently they have lots of local bands pretty frequently. Bar tenders are great, very generous and prices are good. It’s a few steps from the beach ?️ and of course it’s also connected to the HIGH KEY ? Category 5 Bar in the front.“

“I can't say enough about Flames. We celebrated our Mom's birthday this past Saturday and we where so blessed to be served by Dee and Brenda. The tandom did such a great job. Dee was so incredibly knowledgeball and made our choice clear and easy. Her wine suggestions where impecable and her attitude was formidable. Brenda was always smileing and bringing joy to the table. Thanks to the crew for such a wonderful gastronomic experience. Top of the class!“
“Bro's Burgers has excellent comfort food. Clearly they have chefs, not simple cooks. Bare bones atmosphere, fantastic service (above and beyond). Great vegan burger. Yucca fries are good, and if I were them, I would get rid of the regular skinny fries to heartier steak fries. We'll be back. Parking may be a challenge at times.“
“What a wonderful find!My wife and I stumbled onto Coaster's for dinner and could not have been more pleased with our experience. For a taphouse, the food was absolutely exquisite. I ordered mussels in a truffle cream sause, and my wife had a french dip sandwich. The mussels were the best I have ever experienced, and my wife's sandwich was flavorful and satisfying. Gavin provided us with excellent service and helped us find excellent complementary brews for our meal. It was one of the finest evenings we've had in some time. Highly recommended!“
“Very local bar that my sisters and I took my deceased mother's boyfriend to. He is a frequent patron to this bar as it is right down the street. The people all know him and I kind of felt I was in Cheers, lol. The service was excellent and they made us feel right at home, they did harass my mom's boyfriend about showing up with 3 women, but heck he is 91 years old.“
“I was invited to a private party at Lourdes Library. I couldn't believe how cool the lobby is! The "Librarian" was no-nonsense and asked what book we were looking for. Once we found our book, we had our library card stamped and were led through a secret door into the bar. Inside was something out of the prohibition-period with possibly the coolest bartenders and custom-crafted drinks. They knocked it out of the park!“
“Had a good time with my posse! Some of the singers were terrific! Had a very hard time getting the attention of the bar staff. They seemed to ignore our group. I think I waited at the bar for at least 15 minutes before anybody acknowledged my presence. And I am not one to be ignored! LOL“
“I've drove by here a bunch of times so had to check it out. Its a cool bar with games set up outside. Beer was cold and the bartender was prompt and polite.I understand FL is pretty humid at times but wiping off the outside seating would be clutch.“
“Absolutely an amazing place! The hospitality is very homey and friendly. Environment is stunning! I saw an event on Facebook for getting hair tinsel done for my daughter. As my daughter is 7 I was nervous about bringing her to a winery however it was absolutely amazing and they treated us as family. Will definitely be back and it's listed as a go-to for a relaxing peaceful night!“
“Nice quiet place for dinner. Hard to find a place where you can go with a small group and actually hear each other. Great food. Love the calzones and Long Island Ice Tea.Parking: There are other businesses in this plaza so if you go before 5 PM, it is difficult sometimes to find parking but if you head there close to five, everybody is leaving and you should be able to get in fairly easy.“
“Okay so I’m a HUGE FOODIE!! I could honestly kick myself in the butt because I didn’t take pics prior to me eating. Anyhoo…this should be a #1 pick for food, drinks and service when visiting Cocoa Beach. There’s so many TV to watch games and they even mark the TVs to make sure you know what game is being watched. Food was fast and very tasty - DO NOT EXPECT SMALL PORTIONS- you get your money’s worth. Let’s get into service - JP was on point!! He was checking on us constantly ensuring we were good and everything was to our liking. He offered the best of the menu and very accommodating. I absolutely love a server who enjoys our company as much as we enjoyed his. Now to the best of the best - Drinks!! OMGGG… you get your money’s worth, strong and not overpriced, you can definitely find yourself in the bushes after the mimosas- best I’ve had in Florida yet!! JP is definitely a go to for food, drinks and FL hospitality! I’ll update more photos on my next visit“
“Hit this spot on our bar hopping adventure as well. The crowd here is a bit older but we enjoyed the music. We just had a simple rum and coke which was poured pretty strong! They have tons of space inside and out for socializing. Clean bathrooms!“
“Have been here many times and they do not disappoint. Tonight was super busy with Spring Break, yet we got sat right away, as we were a party of 2. Our server Lisa was fantastic and the food was as well. My husband had the Fiesta Shrimp Bowl and it was DELICIOUS!! I had the Scallops with Risotto and it was also great! I recommend the Shrimp Bowl be added to the menu permanently!“
“We stopped by for the first time on vacation to celebrate a birthday. We loved our veggie burgers (the best I've ever had and I'm a self-proclaimed vegan burger conesuer)! The chips and salsa are also stellar! The atmosphere was cozy and family friendly. Thank you all for everything!Kid-friendliness: We brought our toddler and everyone was very kind and accommodating. Once he had his chips, he was happy and quiet.“
“I love dive bars, so if you do, then you must check this one out. It is beer and cash only. Bartender and Patrons were so friendly and welcoming. There are arcade games and pool tables. Touch tunes avail to play your favorite hits. I will definitely stop in another day.“
“Decided to go for a birthday lunch on Easter day. Thought it would be much more crowded, but we were able to get a seat immediately. I had heard such good things about this place and was very excited to try it.We started off with the fish dip, which we could have stopped at there. Highly recommend. Good portion size and the extras are very good also. Love the pirate chips that came with. We went on to have the swordfish entree, ahi poke bowl, and the Buffalo chicken sand with fries. It's all very tasty and fresh tasting. It had been many years since having swordfish, I was impressed with the freshness and serving with rice. I can vouch for the rest as well. Because I got a taste of each, considering this was my first visit. All very good and fresh!The service was fantastic, and the staff all worked together as a team in getting the food and drink out to the tables. Kudos!I would highly recommend this restaurant for the food, drinks and excellent customer service. I will be back.“
“Some friends and I came to see the Iron Maidens at Wynfields back on October 20th, 2022. Tickets were about $30, which is great for a great band if their stature. Even though we arrived early, the line to get in was wrapped around the building. Wynfield's looks unassuming from the outside yet its surprisingly large once you enter. Drinks are reasonably priced and staff did a great job keeping up with the masses. The bar area is huge and takes up a lot of space, but I don't wish it gone; if I was a local here, I would say it's iconic to the venue and evokes a sense of nostalgia to the staff and their customers. There is a decent sized dancefloor in front of the main stage however the stage is not high enough for everyone in the back to get a good view of the band. The overall sound here was pretty good; however, the lighting was horrible. I probably took 200 photos and maybe 25 of them came out great. What's up with the green, red, and blue lighting for the entire show??? Please add some white lighting in there so we can see what the hell is going on. Oh yeah, and the smoke machines only enhance the poor lighting situation so, please keep the smoke down to a few songs, thank you! All-in-all, the two bands, Whiplash (Metallica Tribute) and the Iron Maidens really killed it on this night. Wynfield's is just small enough that we had a chance to meet with the musicians after the show for a photo op, Love this! Although I don't make it to Satellite Beach often, when I do, I look forward to checking out Wynfield's again.“
“If you want a drink and a break from the rigors of life, then Sully's is DEFINATELY A GO TO for the 'cure' of Hipster Hangouts. The bar crowd Is diametrically opposite in the AM to early PM. The nights and weekends are rambunctious, yet fun crowds. If you wanna check out local talent and the rising rockers,then get your drink on at Sully's Backstreet Bar. Deb is an awesome bartender with a smile for all, all about the service, and a quick wit that leaves you smiling. So do yourself a favor and try the two sides of Sully's.“
“Love it! Right off the road, the gateway to the entire beach area! The lights, the palm trees, AMAZING service the "big dude" (I am so sorry , I never got your name) was super awesome to my entire family - very friendly!! Really made our first trip to Florida outstanding! We went here twice in a week! Can't wait to come back next year!! ????“
“This place is a GEM. BEST BURGER I HAVE EVER HAD IN MY LIFE. House salad was also amazing and i finished all of it! Had the BEST server Megan, she had amazing service and really made it an enjoyable time for me and my friend. plus it is not too expensive either! LOVE PUB AMERICANA!!! GO GET A BURGER NOW!!!!“
“We were in town for two nights before going on a cruise and found Shenanigans Pub. It was such a pleasant and fun atmosphere. The owner/bartender was very personable and the patrons were very helpful with touristy suggestions. It was a nice relaxing place to hang out.“
“It's always a decent visit. Nothing special and nothing wrong. We get chips and salsa ( the only reason we come here) and entrees. Food is always cooked the same with no issues. Server is typically pleasant and this time was no different.“
