Lebanese pizza, sausages ,spicy potatoes, mamaganoush , tabouli salad extra lemon, gyro hummus extra crispy. ..... and always get sides of the homemade hotsauce / garlic sauce”
“We always get treated like family by the staff! Excellent food and presentation! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Excellent meal all around. The seafood is great here. I recommend the catch of the day, the duck confit, jumbo black tiger shrimp, wild blue crab feature, and the Thai steak salad. Draft beer, wine, cocktails (wine based) and cocktails are all fantastic as well. service was great. 5 stars!”
“We had Brano's cater my son's rehearsal dinner recently at The Field Manor on Merritt Island and it was the best decision we made! The food was AMAZING and we got nothing but compliments all evening about how good the food was! Brano was excellent with his communication throughout the whole process and we spoke directly to him, the owner, the whole time. I've not ever had that experience before because it's usually left to a manager but not with Brano. His attention to detail and his recommendations for our meal were spot on, especially since I was coming from out of state and doing all the planning from a distance. I felt a lot more comfortable about the evening because of how easy it was to work with him. His staff was very kind and professional and Brano even came to the venue to be sure everything met up to our expectations, which says a lot about his integrity and how he values his business. I'm just sad we don't live closer to be able to visit his restaurant! But if you're looking for excellent food, reliable service, and kind and professional staff you can't go wrong with Brano's!!”

“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.”
“Loved my experience here back in 2024, so came back while here in 2025! Food and drinks were delicious both times. Thank you to my bartender, Christian, for the excellent service!”
“Rebellion Beachside: A Coastal Culinary Revelation If you're searching for a dining experience that transcends the ordinary and dives headfirst into the extraordinary, look no further than Rebellion Beachside. From the moment you step into this gem, you're swept into a world where phenomenal food, impeccable service, and an effortlessly chic atmosphere collide in the most unforgettable way. Let’s start with the food—out of this world. Every dish is a masterclass in flavor, balance, and creativity. Whether it’s fresh seafood kissed by fire and perfectly seasoned, or inventive takes on classic comfort fare, each bite is a celebration of bold culinary vision. The ingredients are clearly top-notch, the presentation is stunning, and the taste? Nothing short of divine. Try the pork chop, trust me! But, every dish is a star in its own right. As for the service, it’s the kind that makes you feel like the only table in the house—attentive without hovering, warm without being overly familiar, and incredibly knowledgeable. The staff anticipate your needs before you even realize them, making the entire experience feel seamless and relaxed. The ambiance strikes that perfect balance between laid-back beach vibes and upscale sophistication. Think ocean breezes, ambient lighting, and the sound of waves meeting laughter and clinking glasses. Rebellion Beachside isn’t just a meal—it’s a memory in the making. An absolute standout on the coast, and hands down one of the best restaurant experiences I’ve had in years. Five stars aren’t enough.”

“Family enjoyed a delicious meal on our way to cocoa village. Great service and even better food. The poke nachos are delicious!”
“Marlene took care of us Thursday and Friday, she was so personable and remembered us and our drinks! We had her inside and outside on both occasions. She was very accommodating to menu questions!”
“We loved our experience there and will definitely go back. Someone in our party was gluten sensitive and the chef came to the table to make sure she could be accommodated and comfortable and even offered her options not on the menu!! He really went above and beyond 😊”

“I tried the thali sampler and it was truly fantastic. The Mango chutney elevated everything I added it to. All the curries are well balanced, delicate, and seasoned with care. Each curry also complimented each other well. I even found a new favorite. If you don't know what to choose but want all of it to be great, both chicken and veg curries, definitely order this plate. You won't regret it.”
“I love Boba 🧋 and this is the best boba place in all of Florida! Right near Cocoa Beach. Grab a cold beverage and walk to the beach! 🏝️ the slushes are delicious! My favorites are the Piña Colada Slush, Taro, or coffee slush. I can’t wait to try the Crystal Lychee Boba next time! The owners are really kind, too! Tell Thoa that I sent you!”

“I’d like to express my heartfelt appreciation for Ashly and the wonderful service she provided during my visit. She was incredibly kind, attentive, and genuinely dedicated to making sure I had the best experience with my food order. Yayy!! 🙈 I truly appreciated the way she took the time to walk me through their variety of food options and explain which toppings would be the healthiest and most suitable for me. 🥰 Her warm attitude, patience, and attention to detail made my visit not only enjoyable but truly memorable. 🥹 Thank you, Ashly for your excellent service and for going above and beyond—you made a real difference in my day. You literally made my day! Your jolly + positive vibes is givinggg! Haha! Can’t wait to go back and try some of the best sellers too!! Hihi! 😊❤️”
“Sergio's Lake Washington Plaza location catered lunch for our New Home Buyer seminar with Cori Williams, Mortgage Originator, at the Dennis Basile - D. Basile Real Estate office. The Chicken Tinga was so moist and flavorful, definitely my favorite. Fresh made chips served with queso topped off this special lunch. Sergio's staff were kind, professional, and on time. With 3 locations, you can find one that is convenient and get some great food.”
“This bakery is amazing. It’s not just sugary sweet. This baker adds great flavors to all her items, especially the donuts served on Fridays and Saturdays! Skip the Dunkin and visit Junkfood bakery. It’s totally worth it. Best bakery in Cocoa! I like the French bakery in Cocoa Village, but I like this bakery better. Everything tasted amazing. Try the mixed berry poptarts and donuts to start. You will not be disappointed.”
“Great happy hour, classy cocktail bar. Great, friendly mixologists Fantastic outdoor patio with music. Our 3x's a week spot when we visit Cocoa Beach. If ya haven 't, ya must!”
“Pompano Grill is an incredible restaurant. The food, service and overall experience is first class all the way!! I personally think it is the best restaurant in Brevard County.”

“The burgers were fabulous. The bison burger was amazing too. Almost too big to get your mouth around. Must try. We also loved the beer. Order a flight to sample many.”
“This place is first rate in all aspects. The food is BEYOND. The desserts are even better! The varied drink options make it hard to choose only one- so get a couple! The service is excellent and the atmosphere is so much fun! Highly highly recommend.”
“Sometimes life surprises you in the best way. The team from Wonder Waffel stumbled upon this hidden gem by pure chance – and what a discovery it turned out to be! From the very first step inside, you’re wrapped in warmth, kindness, and a feeling that instantly makes you feel at home. The food? It’s not just delicious, it’s an experience. Every single bite lifts you higher, until you realize you’re not just tasting flavors – you’re feeling them. It’s joy, comfort, and heart all on one plate. And the moment you leave, you already know: this is not goodbye. This is the kind of place that makes you want to run right back, again and again, because some experiences are simply too beautiful to have just once.”

“I had dinner here on a Friday night and enjoyed some amazing musicians. What a hidden gem. If you’re anywhere in the Melbourne/Cocoa Beach/Cape Canaveral area, you owe yourself a visit to Heidi’s for dinner. Love it so much I’m going back tomorrow night.
Make sure to try the baked brie appetizer. Thank me later!”
“Not a single disappointment! About 90 degrees out a little breeze so Visited coca beach for just a quick minute, walked up the ramp and spotted the daiquiri bar. The staff was so polite and funny. We ordered two 30oz frozen daiquiri a strawberry and a Pina colda. They were about 20.00 each and when I say one did the trick that's all u will need.”
“Located at the end of the Cocoa Beach Pier, this bar has amazing views. There is plenty of seating, shaded and in the sun. The bar is over the water so you can see down the beach and watch the surfers and beach goers. There are plenty of drink options and although we didn’t eat, the food items looked fabulous, especially the sushi options. The bar was clean, given it is located outside. There is a nice breeze. There are some birds flying around, but it adds to the atmosphere. They are not flying into your food.”
“This establishment offers a delightful dining experience with its elegant ambiance. The menu boasts a variety of classic dishes prepared with fresh ingredients. The attentive staff provides exceptional service, ensuring a pleasant meal. The flavors are well-balanced, offering a true taste of culinary artistry. It's a wonderful place to enjoy a memorable meal with friends and family.”
“The owners were very nice and welcoming, with big smiles on their faces. They were very accommodating. We walked in, ordered and our food was ready in 15 minutes. The food was delicious, everything was cooked to perfection and very flavorful. We had the leftovers for lunch the next day and enjoyed it all for the second time!! Thank you!!”
“Took a mental health day and walked down to Fish Camp. Tried Jambalaya and it was amazing!!!! Candace did a great job. Great crowd interaction with all the locals and tourists.”
“Good food, nice laid back atmosphere. Perfect for families, couples, or groups. the dining area is large, and can accommodate large groups, as well as booths for smaller parties. Lots of choices on menu.”

“OMG! This stuff is sooooo good! 🤤 We bought so many pastry 🥮 🥐 along with the bread and when we got home… all pastries 🥐🥐🥐🥐 were…. Gone! Just nothing left! We devoured them right in the car! 🤣 Nothing left! Just bread! They are insanely talented in their baking! Wow! 🤩 Just wow!”
“There were two of us in the restaurant. The food was very good. We hadn't had such perfectly grilled tuna in a long time. We really liked that you could put together your own individual combination of fish and side dishes. The service was excellent, and the young man who served us was particularly nice.”
“Drove two hours to pick up my new Luna yellow guitar!!! When I found this beautiful gem! The kavatender was very welcoming and friendly. This place drew me to it from across the street with big open doors! Great experience hands down! Btw the salty bagel no longer exists 🤣 in case your looking”
“Hands down - the best BBQ on the Space Coast. Dat B Good has raised the bar. Brisket is perfection. Ribs - fall off the bone delicious. ..and hopefully Lewis and Cheryl will market their sauce. Do yourself a favor and treat your palate - you'll go back for more...”

“Siam Orchid Cocoa Beach is a Thai, Japanese & sushi restaurant inside the La Quinta Inn that offers a casual space with Asian flair. We discovered this restaurant on our way back to the hotel and decided to check it out. After seeing the reviews on Yelp, we decided to make this our choice for dinner. Walking in, the location was clean and presented a dim ambiance. We headed to the hostess stand, requested a table for two and were immediately taken to our table. As it was my first time, I took a moment to take in all of the options. The menu was very robust and had pages of great options. Once I had taken it all in, I decided on the Crab Rangoon for my appetizer and the Pad Thai with Chicken as my entreé. Crab Rangoon: Very Meaty. Not the cluster of Cream Cheese inner back home. These were filled with crab meat and the right amount of cream cheese. They were very flavorful and fried to perfection. The sweet chili sauce provided was amazing as well and really put the flavor profile on 1000. Pad Thai: The Pad Thai was off the chain good. Great portion. Multi-Flavor profile dish which was done to perfection. All of the flavors paired well and allowed each one to shine. The level of sweetness was exactly as you would expect from a Pad Thai dish done right. Also, the noodles were done perfectly which really complimented the tenderness of the chicken. I’m talking Purrrrrrrrrrfection. Siam Orchid Cocoa Beach was a great decision for dinner. Compliments to the chef.”

“Stopped in from our cruise stop and had an amazing experience at this bar. They allowed our husbands to smoke their cigars in their outside area. They also had a great band! Tiffany was the best bartender, remembered us and our order each visit, was friendly and funny! Can’t wait to return! Thank you for making our trip enjoyable!”
“Dark and cold. Like a cave. The way a dive bar should be. Way more locals than tourists, which is almost always a good thing. Full bar, TVs (mostly tuned to Fox News), and plenty of bar games (darts, billards, etc). Awesome back porch and awesomer backyard, complete with an outdoor stage for live music.”
“I don't live as close anymore so I don't get to frequent this place but try my best to stop in when I can! Don't listen to any negative reviews. This place is a staple in Cocoa Beach! Very relaxed and comfortable atmosphere and Ray is the best bartender! Very local type place with friendly patrons. Good prices and I've enjoyed karaoke nights. Stop in for a draft beer or a Proper Twelve and enjoy yourself 😊.”

“Learned that this place is longer a food truck, but once we found the spot up on the pier, it was totally worth it! The staff were super friendly and offered great suggestions on flavors. The only tricky part was figuring out their hours, online it said they were open until 7, but when we showed up around 4 one day, they were already closed. Luckily, we came back the next day around lunchtime and got to enjoy some shaved ice. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area!”
“Always the best, freshest key lime pie in town. Also love the salt water taffy flavors and all the Florida local products!!”
“I am a veteran of the United States Army, and have a trained service dog. I was denied service here due to being accompanied by my service animal. I have filed a complaint against this business with ADA U.S. Department of Justice”

“Wow! I've had a lottttt of boba and I've loved it all, but this is the best I've had by a mile! Their selection is huge and both the milk teas we got were heavenly! The tapioca pearls were the perfect consistency and flavor and we were greeted and warmly welcomed upon our arrival in this cozy cute spot. I'm going back tomorrow!”
“I grew up outside of Philly and currently live in South Jersey. This pizza is delicious!! If you are looking for good, traditional pizza you need to stop here. You won’t be disappointed!”
“What a great staff. We showed up in the middle of a torrential downpour during Hurricane Debbie. The staff had towels ready for us to help dry off in the lobby while checking in. Room was nice and clean and big. The staff at the Bistro was super friendly and made it so we didn’t have to leave in the middle of a storm to grab dinner. Thanks to everyone at the hotel.”
“We passed The Skinny Mermaid/Vistea on our way home from KSC and decided to give it a try and we're so glad we did! Fresh salad bowls, delicious boba teas and friendly staff. Don't be put off by the rather unassuming looking exterior. We'd come here more often if we lived in the area!!”
“Olivia is the kindest bartender/ waitress. We’ve been here several times but it’s beenn a while. As soon as we walked in she remembered what we drink, what we order and it was like time never went by in between visits. They make the best veggie pizza (I order no cheese and they always are kind to accommodate) Hands down the best pizza joint on the island! ❤️”
“Great seafood,seasoned just right! Reasonably priced in portions to fill you up. Thanks Q!”
“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.... 😁”

“We have been here several times. The food is delicious. Spouse has gluten allergy and the staff is EXTREMELY careful and hand deliver her meal separately. She has NEVER had an issue. Mac and cheese and pulled pork is her favorite. Tonight a vacationing family was dining in. A young man ordered a sandwich that had the kitchen sink on it. It was fun to watch him try eating it. He was 1/2 way done before we left. But was slowing down. I hope he made it. The staff is always top notch and it’s a fun place to relax and have great food. Try them. You won’t be disappointed.”

“Brand new Tiki Bar & Restaurant in the heart of downtown Cocoa Beach, not just 1 or 2 bars but 3 in total 😉 Such a cool vibe that offers live music 🎶 it’s dog friendly, has a large area for kids to play & be entertained while you get to enjoy it all. Just like any other restaurant just opening, they’re still working through some kinks. Please bare with them & give them another chance. It’s a great atmosphere & it’s awesome addition to our great little beach town. Be humble, kind & wish them well.”
