Best Restaurants in Cocoa Beach

The Space Coast’s food scene centers on fresh Atlantic seafood, laid-back surf-town cafés, and a few waterfront spots that justify driving past the Cape Canaveral chain restaurants.

Seafood

Fishlips Waterfront Bar & Grill (Port Canaveral) — Waterfront dining overlooking the cruise ship terminal. Fresh catch, stone crab (seasonal), and tropical cocktails. Watch the ships come and go.

Grills Seafood Deck (Port Canaveral) — Two-level restaurant right on the marina. Raw bar, steamed shrimp, and fried fish baskets. The upstairs deck has the best views.

Jazzy’s Mainely Lobster (Cocoa Beach) — Lobster rolls (both Maine-style cold and Connecticut-style warm), lobster bisque, and Key lime pie. A no-frills counter-service spot with outstanding lobster.

Local Favorites

Fat Snook (Cocoa Beach) — The finest dining on the Space Coast. Caribbean-inspired seafood with local fish. Small, intimate, and the food is genuinely excellent. Reservations recommended.

Sandbar Sports Grill (Cocoa Beach) — Beachside sports bar. Grouper sandwich, fish tacos, and the beach-view patio that’s the soul of Cocoa Beach casual dining.

Coconuts on the Beach — Tiki vibes on the Atlantic. Live music, frozen drinks, and ocean views. The food is secondary to the atmosphere, but the fish tacos are solid.
