Cocoa Beach Restaurant Recommendation

My husband and I are staying at the Comfort Inn Cocoa Beach on North Atlantic Ave. and are looking to have a nice dinner the evening before our cruise. We don't mind paying good money for good food. We would like something that is on the beach, maybe outside dining, but we really want good food. It should also be fairly close to the hotel or a short cab ride (not sure how expensive cabs are).

Recommendations?

Check out Rusty's Port Canaveral

The place on the pier, can't think of the name right now but has good food.

We ate at Coconuts on the Beach www.coconutsonthebeach.com

and loved it. There was inside dining and outside and it is on the beach. We had a rental car so were able to drive. In a quaint part of town with some shopping if I remember right. Have fun.

We ate at Fishlips Bar and Grill. It is at the port and has outside seating. I had the Fishlip Tacos made with the seared ahi tuna and they were outstanding. We also stayed at the Comfort Inn and it was not that far of a drive.

Excellent italian restaurant next to the Radaisson. Sorry do not remember the name.

I agree with Donna, Rusty's is great and they have live music...

The Italian restaurant next to the Radisson is Kelsey’s Pizzeria. Very good food and way better than an average pizzeria.

Avoid the steakhouse in the plaze down the street...sorry, don't remember the name but it was not that good.

The Fat Snook is good.

So is Roberto's.

Fat Snook is Seafood.

Roberto's is Cuban food.

Eat at Fishlips and thank them for hosting the Port Canaveral webcam:

I agree, Kelsey's next to the Raddision at the port in port canaveral is an excellent restaurant. Great greek spinach pie and greek salad...not to mention the wonderful pizza.:p;)

We ate at Fish Lips too! I wouldn't call it fine dining, but it was good food. The best part was watching the RCCL ship leave the port (I think it was the Monarch???)

Grills Seafood Deck & Tiki Bar.

+1 great food and drinks.

Your location provides you many choices, you can go south and come across Coconuts on the beach, as well as many other options. You can go north and there's the pier, which has several different restaurants from casual to dressy. Or go north to the port where you will also find many choices (several mentioned here).

My top choice/recommendation would be Rusty's at the port, hands down.

My top recommendation to NOT visit would be Millikens at the port. They crowd them in, it will look tempting, but the service is absolutely awful!

there is a place called "grandpas"? it's in an old train car, and it has the most amazing food. all handcut steaks.

Grandpa's is not really near Cocoa Beach. It's in Cocoa, mainland, probably 15-20 miles from OP's hotel.

If we wanted to go on a Friday and eat somewhere and watch the ships leave the port, what would be a good place? Are there usually many ships in P.C. on a Friday. Would be nice to find a good place and have an early dinner and drinks and watch the ships.

Kelsey's is awesome. Our favorite is Boston Beef & Seafood (further from hotel).

You would want one of the port restaurants - Rusty's (highly recommended), Fishlips or Grills. There is also Millikens', but I do not recommend there. And you want to be there before 4. Not sure how many ships on a Friday tho.

I agree with Boston's...if you like seafood you won't find a better place!!

Gotta love Grills. They even have an excellent breakfast there.

Thanks. Have eaten there several times and we always enjoyed our dinners there.

Most Fridays you will have Disney Magic and Monarch of the Seas. EM
