honey dusted nashville hot chicken sandwich & beer battered sidewinder fries with the Beach n Boozy bucket!
Kiera B.

Sat down at around 9pm and was greeted immediately with menus! I'm a diehard chicken fan so I had to try the honey dusted Nashville hot chicken sandwich and that was the best decision I ever made! Might have been the best I've ever had. First impression was how big it was LOL but the heat wasn't too much at all & the honey sprinkles paired perfectly for flavor. It came with several sliced pickle spears and a drizzle of ranch aïoli (I believe) which was good for me. I'm not a tomato and onion person so I had to leave those out. I love some fries that arent too crispy/dry and still have meaty/soft potato on the inside, so these fries hit the spot! The Beach n Boozy bucket was delicious! Quenched your thirst, tasted like paradise, and could definitely be dangerous because it was so good! All in all this is a great hang out for beachgoers. I had a great time, but I believe it was probably because of the folks I was sitting around. Quite a bit of the music didn't have lyrics, but just island type vibes of popular songs and it wasn't too loud, which can be good if you're trying to talk with somebody without yelling. I went when it wasn't too busy, but I'm sure seating could be an issue during the day when there's more foot traffic. The bar area is quite small (and comfortable), but they do have table seating to the left of the bar

Blackened grouper sandwich with sidewinder fries

We ended up eating here for the shear convenience as it was close to our hotel. Sitting on the deck for dinner was very nice with a gentle breeze. The waitress, Lisa, was super sweet and enthusiastic. Our food was delicious! Grouper sandwich and grouper tacos. I would definitely recommend eating here to anyone visiting cocoa beach!

Grouper sandwich

The food and service was great and quick here. There's a great view of the beach and other things like ice cream and sand volleyball courts nearby. The tuna nachos was our favorite.

Pretty good food, very nice staff, and amazing views from the pier. Kind of rude that you are only allowed to go on the pier if you are going to eat at one of the restaurants, but kind of needed since the area on the boardwalk pier is tight.

Eating some Gator by the ocean.

Not sure why the rating is so low. We parked in the 2.50/hour city parking and walked right up the pier. We walked past the hot dogs and first restaurant to the Boardwalk Bar for a pleasant experience. We ordered the wahoo sandwich specials and the Gator platter. The sandwiches were delicious with a spicy pickle. The fries were spiraled and made crispy. The gator was deep fried and well battered. It has a nice seasoned flavor and the meat was not tough. The dipping sauce was sweat and Cajun spicy. The hero of the day was the super nice lady taking care of us. Alicia was attentive, described the plates perfectly and was crazy friendly. She and the entire wait staff was a pleasure as they worked together in a comfortable manner

Water is bad taste like salt water. Food is good but not that good. I recommend coming here for drinks not really food

Vodka drink on the left, mud slide on the right (AND THOSE VIEWS THO)

Located on the pier of Cocoa Beach, you get some pretty fantastic views. We sat outside for dinner after a full day on the beach. Very casual, no need to get dressed up. Service was okay, they seemed a little understaffed. Food and drinks were great. You will have to pay for parking if you park nearby, which is unfortunate but I get it. Bathrooms were clean for a pier. Pricing is also a little high but I expected that for the location. I would come here after a long day at the beach to fill up on some good grub!

I'm not sure how some visitors can give this place less than four stars. You are on a pier over the Atlantic Ocean on Cocoa Beach. Order a beer, listen to the waves crash, and just breathe in the salty goodness. Have some gator bites. Yes, gator is chewy compared to chicken. It's gator . If the wait staff brings you the wrong beer, if it's cold, then drink it. It's Florida. You are on the beach. If you are expecting white table linens and Michelin Star food, then you are in the wrong place. Our server was very good. The food was good. The drinks were great. We had bar food, the signature fries, fish dip, gator bites. Fun stuff for vacation. I think these are the same people that act upset when they get wet sitting next to a hotel pool. Kids splash; it's called fun. You should try it sometime. Seems to me that a lot of people have forgotten how to unwind, and unplug. Facebook and Twitter and can live without you for a week. Who cares what politicians said whatever. Put your toes in the sand and a drink in your hand...

While watching our cousin play in a volleyball match we decided to get some drink and breakfast. I had a breakfast burrito which was very tasty and a couple screwdrivers. Niki had the breakfast mac n cheese and a mimosa. I was not sure about mac n cheese for breakfast but it too was very tasty. Mac n cheese with ham and sausage slices. Topped with two poached eggs and hollandaise sauce. Yum!

Bacon Cheeseburger

If you are eating here it's likely you have already paid $10 to park and are either a tourist or a local soaking up some sun & you don't want to walk very far to eat. This place definitely has a great view of the beach but the "great" stops there. The food was just ok as was the service. The Rum Runner I had was terrible. Also, note the area of the menu for specialty drinks lists no prices & "non-returnable" so if you don't like it... tough sh@t! I later found out my drink was $8 If you're starving, go ahead and grab some grub but avoid the specialty drinks and stick to the beer.

I am here as I type. It has a great view. But, we waited25 minutes to get the order taken. Then, I was brought sweetened tea. I am diabetic. They did bring me my regular tea when I spoke up. Food is not out, but people all around me are getting the wrong drinks and food. Sigh. Food came after an hous

Great place for chillin' it I got my shades on, top back, Rollin' with the music jacked, One on the wheel, one around you baby Sunset, I bet there's a chance we can get Sure enough tangled up, laid back and lazy Pour it on easy now don't spill a bit Nothin' tonight but time lets get to killin' it Long as I'm rockin' with you You know I'm cool with just chillin' it

Crab cake sandwich, cole slaw, and sidewinder fries. Pretty good!

I went with a friend to Coaster's Cocoa Beach. Happy Saint Patrick's day!…read moreThey were very busy. They were serving a limited menu with food and drink specials for the day. They had the traditional Irish fare. My friend ordered the Ruben sandwich with sweet potato fries. She commented on how much corned beef in the Sandwich and how delicious the fries were. I ordered the corned beef and cabbage. Only $20.00. I received at least a half pound of very lean corned beef, red potatoes, carrots and steamed cabbage. A very generous serving. The corned beef was really lean , moist, tender, and very flavorful. What a great meal. They had traditional Irish music. Great atmosphere for the holiday. We had a great time.

Man I really wanted to like this place but I just couldn't!!…read more It is a really mundane place over all. The ambiance is that of every other bar, which in itself isn't bad but it is when you don't do anything to really stand out. I ordered the southern burger and their special of deviled eggs. The deviled eggs were really good but only 6 half eggs was $12. Way overpriced in my opinion. The burger looked really good but for $22 for the burger and the fries, it better be top notch. Burger came out over done, with the entire bottom bun completely soaked in juice. It basically fell apart by the end of the meal. I will say the fries were really good but for $45 with a tip FOR ONE PERSON this place is way over priced for what you get. I also thought my service was just okay as well. Wouldn't recommend this place and won't be back.

If you're anywhere near the Space Coast and not stopping at Big Daddy J's, you're missing a launch…read moreyou'll regret. We grabbed seats at the bar, and right out of the gate the experience was mission-ready. The girls behind the bar were awesome, friendly, attentive, and just had that effortless vibe that makes you feel like a regular even if it's your first visit. Now the food... wow. Everything came out fresh, hot, and absolutely dialed in. The burgers were stacked and juicy, the sandwiches loaded, and those sidewinder fries? Forget it. Crispy, golden perfection. You can tell nothing sat under a heat lamp, this was all cooked to order and launched straight to the table. Best way I can describe it given the location... This wasn't just good food, it was a full-on flavor liftoff. Like sitting a few miles from Cape Canaveral and watching a rocket punch through the atmosphere, everything about this meal just took off and didn't look back. Great people, killer food, laid-back atmosphere... this place hits on all cylinders. We'll definitely be back for another launch

When we arrived, we did notice the outside could use a little TLC, but once inside, it was very clean and tidy. We were immediately greeted by both the hostess and bartender, and they were very friendly. We were seated right away and our drink orders were taken quickly. It took us a few minutes to go through the menu since we weren't familiar with the restaurant, and there are quite a few items to choose from. We ordered the "Crack Mac Snack" (macaroni and cheese) and added pulled pork and the biscuit bread. The food came out quickly, and we were not disappointed. The biscuit bread was absolutely amazing, rich, soft, and delicious (maybe a little too generous with the butter on top, but still delicious). It's a thick, hearty piece, about two inches high and roughly four inches square. The mac and cheese was a generous portion and easily enough to share, and it was really good. The homemade BBQ sauce was also a highlight. The only slight miss was my husband's Coke, which wasn't very sweet, possibly a calibration issue with the machine. Overall, this is definitely a spot worth trying if you're in Cocoa Beach and want something different. There's a lot on the menu, and we'll definitely be back.
