“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.”
“Great spot on the beach, DELICIOUS wings, nice drinks, great food and service. Very convenient after a day on the beach on Cocoa. Glad I found it. We'll be back.”

“Honest Review: Flavors of India - Cocoa Beach, FL (4/5 Stars)
Step into a culinary adventure at Flavors of India in Cocoa Beach, where every bite feels like a vibrant journey through India’s rich food culture! I recently indulged in a delightful dine-in experience, and let me tell you, it was a treat worth raving about. The cozy, inviting ambiance instantly set the mood, making it an ideal spot for a fun outing with friends or a cozy family meal.
The menu is a treasure trove of authentic flavors, and I dove into the Chicken Tikka Masala (mild) and Navratan Korma—both bursting with aromatic spices and cooked to perfection. The samosas? Oh, they were a crispy, golden revelation, packed with savory goodness! Paired with the soft, fluffy naan and the indulgent bullet naan, every mouthful was a delight. To top it off, the masala chai warmed my soul with its spiced perfection.
The staff was warm and eager to please, though the hustle of peak hours added a dash of chaos to the service. At $65.20 for a feast for two, the pricing felt like a steal for the generous portions. The only hiccup? Limited seating can turn it into a cozy squeeze when it’s busy. Still, this gem is a must-visit for Indian food enthusiasts, and I’m already counting the days until my next visit—earning it a hearty 4 out of 5 stars!”
“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!”
“Had the al pastor tacos and the carne asada tacos and they were great and cooked perfectly. Cooked practically right in front of you. The salsas werent spicey spicey either. They were just right. The queso and chips were perfect and fresh. I also ordered a burrito and it was huge, you definitely get your moneys worth here. On a scale of 1-10 I’d rate it a 15. It’s awesome and customer service was nice as well. Real respectful and even have the bottled drinks and cokes like in Mexico! Give it a try. You won’t regret it!!”
“This is our favorite place for a date night. The food is outstanding, I always go for the catch of the day and it is always so fresh! The staff is so friendly and the piano player is phenomenal. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a classy place with a delicious meal. We will definitely be returning, it is worth the drive.”
“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.”

“Loved our dinner last night! Visiting from Virginia, and our waiter Paul was excellent with his explanations and recommendations. He even let us know about the Space X launch so we could go outside and see it! Food was so good, very large portions, reasonably priced. Wish we had one at home!”
“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.”
“The mahi mahi is dry, the chili sauce is too hot, sweet mashed potatoes are heavy on brown sugar more like a sweet potatoes casserole, steak is not good- dry, mac & cheese is not good. What was good: salmon, green beans with rice, grilled shrimp, mashed red potatoes, best soft pretzel I have ever had!
Great music and atmosphere…”

“The steaks were cooked perfectly, and were totally flavorful (the roasted garlic for garnish - oh my, how tasty!) The house salad was fresh and crisp, and potatoes were delicious as well. Service was totally attentive without being intrusive. Cocktails were very lovely (and enjoyed greatly.) The ambience was homey, cozy and comforting - like that of the classic local steakhouses of the past, that serve the very best quality food. Overall it was a stellar experience! Can't wait to go back.”
“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.”
“Neat little mom and pop type establishment. We stopped there on our beach day in the middle of our Walt Disney World trip. There aren't many good seafood restaurants here in Minnesota besides the big names. So it was a bit of a different atmosphere than we are used to. The experience was quite refreshing. The food and service was great.”
“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!!”
“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.”
“Ran into the pier when a sudden rainstorm hit, and had some delicious drinks and fries while we waited for the rain to pass. The bartender was friendly, and the service was fast. I highly recommend the chowder fries. I admit I was a bit skeptical, but they were amazing”
“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.”
“Dave and Paul are the best; they always make my husband feel like family. The food is always top notch! However, why is Dave always working so hard? Dave needs a raise 🙌🏻”
“This was just what I wanted, good seafood! The only minor complaint was that I waited for several minutes before I was seated. There was no host to greet me when I walked in and a server had to stop what he was doing to seat me. Maybe they were short staffed at the time?”

“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.”
“Katie was very nice and made our experience wonderful. She went above and beyond, making us feel truly special with her warm attention to detail.
Kid-friendliness: Very affordable and high quality breakfast buffet with many healthy options for kids.”

“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.”
“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 😊.”

“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.”
“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!”
“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...”
“This is always one of my go to spots for shrimp with old bay and lemon when I visit Cocoa Beach! Brandi the bartender is so kind and attentive. While other bartenders looked past me and didn’t check to see if I needed anything Brandi was always bouncing around making sure not only me but all the patrons were being taken care of! I’ve been coming here 10 yrs and she is by far the most down to earth, kind and hard working person I’ve encountered here! Thanks for a great experience Brandi!”
“Taco City 2955 S Atlantic Ave., Cocoa Beach, FL 32931 4 Stars Just reading my random name generator caused my senses to vellicate just a bit as I was staying beachside for this meal. Blinking benignly up at me was the name of a restaurant that had been in the same location for over 40 years. At this point, Taco City has to be a local landmark and they must be doing something right. They also have an express counter at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, though that doesn't necessarily mean anything as servicemen and women like anything that isn't an MRE. As I was not, nor have I ever been in the Air Force (thank you to those that have been in any branch of our Armed Forces), I hooked a Louie just shy of the Cape and pulled into “civie” Taco City. I was greeted warmly upon entering and taken almost immediately to a table. Glancing at the menu, I noticed that it was much more diversified than your average Tex-Mex cantina. My server soon approached, introduced himself as Sequoia and asked if I was ready to order. I noticed that Sequoia was also the manager or at least the manager on duty. I found him to be very outgoing and sagacious while unreservedly answering all my questions. You didn't think I just went in and ordered blindly, did you? Do you? If not, I would suggest you start. The most important being, is this dish assembled or made? I asked Sequoia for an order of Chings or Chongs and Dos Hard Tacos (chicken). I sat back and soaked up the fantastic atmosphere of the place and quicker'n a cat on a hot tin roof, Sequoia returned with my food. If it tasted half as good as the aromas running ahead, I knew I was in for some decent chow. Snapping the prerequisite pictures, I grabbed my tools of epicurean destruction and commenced to “reviewing.” First up was my order of Chings or Chongs. This looked so interesting on the menu that I had to order it, and I was not disappointed. Consisting of shredded chicken fried in a large flour tortilla served along with freshly shredded iceberg, hand chopped tomatoes, Mexican cheese and black olives this dish was as delicious as it was unique. The chicken was tender, juicy and full-flavored. Turning my attention toward the Hard Tacos was not as easy as one might think, but I had a job to do. Grabbing a taco in my mitt, I took a good-sized bite and was delighted. This was also pleasant on the palate. Everything was fresh and one taste tells you it was made, not assembled in the kitchen. Well done, kitchen miens. Is Taco City going to win a James Beard award? Absolutely not. However, they aren't aiming for that either. What they are aiming for is what they provide and that is a fun, interesting menu with a great deal of heterogeneity in the crowded Tex-Mex field. This place is well run and the food is above average. The Big Boy says, “If you're looking for some Tex-Mex grub with a jovial atmosphere and decent food, try Taco City. I'm guessin' they will be here another 40 years.” If you are in or have been in the Air Force and have eaten at their Express cafe, please let me know what you think/thought of it.”
“Absolutely a great spot! Great atmosphere! And the crowds for the live music are great! Had a great show there this past weekend and would love to do another awesome show. Cameron on sound killed it! It’s a great place in general! Thanks for supporting the local music scene 🤘🏻”

“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!”
“We came to the new restaurant mainly to see our buddy Ian while my friend was in town. Since there was a 30–40 minute wait for his section, we ended up sitting at the bar instead. Even though we weren’t at one of his tables, Ian still went out of his way to check on us, give us great recommendations, and make sure we were taken care of. That kind of service really stood out and made the experience even better. Highly recommend stopping in!”
“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.”
“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!”
“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! ❤️”
