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

My husband and I were looking for something different on Cocoa Beach, so we decided to try Big…read moreDaddy J's 5 Great Things after seeing the good reviews. 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.

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.

We tried the shrimp and girts, buffalo chicken sandwich and barrira quesadilla. My son got a Cookie Monster milkshake. Everything was flavorful, hot and delicious. The atmosphere was a chill vibe with live music and lights and games. We will definitely be back!

I started with a frozen pain in the ass cocktail; it was fruity and delicious. We shared an order of bang, bang shrimp and conch fritters that were perfect. My entree was a crab corn chowder and side Caesar salad. Everyone enjoyed their entrées; shrimp tacos, grouper sandwiches, chicken stack, chicken wrap, tuna wontons... Malarie took care of us & frequently checked in with us. My chowder was exceptional, and the salad was just so so. The chicken entrées had a minuscule piece of chicken and the portions of fries were skimpy. The appetizers were a highlight. Coconuts on the Beach is located on the Minutemen Causeway in Cocoa Beach. It's an oceanfront restaurant from the 1980s that evolved from a 1970s dream of owner George Artz. It's known for its casual, "island-style" vibe, replacing the former Thirsty Turtle to become a staple for live music, coconut shrimp & beachfront dining.

The pineapple rum sauce was new to us and so divine. We shared the Florida Fresh Salad with salmon (picture is of it split). The portions were generous and the flavors were so well balanced. I especially loved the nuts and that the salmon was grilled over an open fire. A fresh and delicious bite. We went during late afternoon/early evening and there was fun music kept at a very reasonable volume. The place is very well kept and the lighting is very comfortable. We for sure will be back next time we're in the Cocoa Beach area! Must visit!

My husband and I both had the Golden Corvina, I had it with lemon butter and he had it with jalapeño bacon cream sauce. OHHH. EMMM. GEEEE. It was cooked to perfection and both were fantastic and great flavor. Costa was our server, he was knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the food and resturant in general; and rightfully so! As a customer with Celiac, they have a very extensive menu for gluten free patrons. They are extremely knowledgeable and take it serious for any allergen. We are here in Cocoa Beach for 2 more nights, we will definitely be back BOTH NIGHTS!!

Tight parking. Small lot. I had high expectations for the spot because it was so highly rated,…read morehowever, a lot of the items on yelp are no longer available especially items unique to florida. Inside is a tiki bar vibe, it is very small business and the waitress is super nice (and must deal with a lot). It was virtually empty when we went for dinner. Mussel and clam in white wine: okay the bread was not even grilled (I had expected some buttery smoked grill mark situation) and the clams had a lot of sand in them. There was a handful of dead mussels. And overall it was a bit salty and lacking in freshness. Mahi taco- inside was good but idk if orlando doesn't have a good bread place cuz the tortilla was soo bad. Like no moisture, fake tasting tortilla. Otherwise the fish and toppings are yummy and I can see why its recommended. Again not really the blackened grill flavor. The fries were real potato (russet) but also felt a overfried/fried too long at a low temperature because they were greasy and some were burnt.. The fried oysters were okay, on the smaller side. Overall, this place might be better for fried baskets and like fish and chips rather than fresh seafood experience. Also considering it is on the cape/island you do have to drive out a long way on a single road to get to it, so that might have also influenced my expectations. Again the service is good and nice if you do want to support a local business. Just for the price and repertoire, maybe I had higher expectations.
