Very disappointing experience. Ordered conch fritters, they tasted like deep fried stuffing and had little to no discernible conch. On to the main course, we ordered the islamorada style fish with redfish. The fish was over cooked and a bit dry, the crab/lobster cake on top was burnt and the veggies were from frozen so they were very unappetizing. Not a place we will return to. read more

the place was great for sunsets. Music was a little loud. Loud enough that you couldn't hear our server. We ordered appetizers and I had a mango frozen drink in the souvenir cup. The smoked fish dip was delicious as was the fish bites. After starting our apps we placed our dinner order. Our salads came out immediately and a minute later our dinners came out. So we literally had appetizers, salads, and dinners on the table all at the same time. That is a big pet peeve of mine. I had the shrimp n jalapeno grits. The jalapenos were either missing or you dont need to worry about spiciness from them. Overall, great place for a view of the sunset with ok food and service. read more

This is the absolutely best place you will find in Cocoa beach. We went here for the first time and the whole experience was amazing. The wait was a bit long but totally worth it if you sit outside during sunset. The food is to die for and the best seafood and burgers lots for everyone. The entrees are on the bigger side so if your not super hungry go for a basket. They have misters that are perfect for keeping it cool even on the super hot days. The pier connecting to the restaurant is beautiful we actually saw dolphins right up close and the sunset was absolutely beautiful. MUST GO HERE!!! read more

This place is awesome. From the Koi Pond before walking through the front doors to the beautiful scenery off the eating dock located in the back. That night I ordered the stuffed flounder and it was really tasty. I enjoyed every bite. Will definitely be back. read more

Not the best service for a Tuesday lunch without a crowd, but food and view were excellent!! Cocktail was not correct as ordered.

One of our must haves when in Cocoa Beach. Always been pleased with the food and service, love the outdoor dining

Read the reviews and they said food was mediocre. The food was delicious!! We had cheek teriyaki and pineapple skewer for an appetizer, cesaer salads, and then for entrees: the 8oz Filet Minion, Grilled Shrimp, and Seafood Lasagna. Gisa, server, took great care of us and was very attentive and made good suggestions for dinner. We sat outside near the waters edge and saw several pods of dolphins very close. After dinner we walked out on the pier and fed the catfish. Food was great!! Worth a try!!!! read more

The bartender was very nice and attentive. The scenery here is fantastic. However, the food is average at best. The worst part about the food, you cannot customize it at all. If you want to add a piece of cheese to something, or make something a wrap other than a sandwich, they won't do it. I was told the kitchen staff says if they do it for one person they got to do it for everybody. Not sure what kind of a business plan this is. read more

Cold shrimp are good. RAW Tuna steak sandwich is not okay. When you order a fish sandwich it shouldn't BE RAW! A blackened tuna steak isn't a raw tuna steak..... If I wanted raw tuna I would have ordered the poke bowl. The server even told us don't over the poke bowl it's often sent back and never good. Grouper sandwich is half the size of the bun. Not acceptable. Don't waste your time or money read more

I had the seafood mac n' cheese it was good and seasoned well. The side salad was fairly difficult to eat as it was on a plate and not a small bowl. It left a mess on the table as I was eating. read more

Not on the main drag but a beautiful place to sit on the waterfront dock and watch the sunset. We were there in the week between Christmas and New Year's and although they seemed short staffed, they handled the flow beautifully. This is a place that you could come by boat, or car, from Merritt Island, Cocoa Beach, Cape Canaveral, Satellie Beach, South Patrick Shores, or Indian Harbour Beach. The service was excellent and the food was delivered promptly. Everyone loved their meal. We loved the atmosphere on the open patio deck and the sunset was gorgeous over the water. read more

My girlfriend and I went to this place 2 weeks ago for the first time. We loved it. Wish we were closer. Kenny our server was great as were all the staff. I recommend this place to anyone who enjoys good good, good drinks and damn good atmosphere. We will be going back for sure; read more

The food was ok, service was good. We were there the middle of May, so not peak season. I can see where this would be a fun hangout for groups of friends for drinks and eats. Great view of sunset. read more

We came here because we had a Groupon. After I bought it, I saw a friend of mine had reviewed it before and said it was good. The location is very strange. It looks like it's abandoned from the outside. If we didn't have the Groupon, we never would have went in. It truly needs a full renovation. It looks like it was something else and Squid Lips took over. For lunch, we both ordered drinks from the bar, which were pretty good. My wife got the fried fish and chips and I got the buffalo chicken sandwich (since I don't eat seafood). She loved the fish! Said it was some of the best she's had in a while. I tasted very fresh. My chicken sandwich was good, too. Very hot, but I enjoy that. Our waiter needed to work on his game. They were very slow when we got there. His first line was that he was glad we were there because he was so bored. He meant it kind of jokingly, but the problem was that through our whole lunch he would come back and tell us how bored he was. The joke got old. And when we were wanting our check, he was off chatting up a female staffer. I had to ask another waitress if we could get our check. The food was good and worth having. The location needs some major work. And I don't want to slight the waitstaff on one experience. read more

Came here on a Sunday. Beautiful weather. Great evening for a beautiful sunset. We arrived with a friend - first time for him to this restaurant. We had been here once before, and we thought he would enjoy the outdoor ambiance, especially sunset! Unfortunately, due to love bug infestation out by the water, the restaurant was not seating anyone outside. Inside - it's not really that nice. Kinda felt old and dirty. Depressing. The employees seemed depressed as well. No energy. No one smiling. Very transactional - not rude, but not at all welcoming or hospitable. The place was dead. Few patrons. After ordering, our food was delivered a few minutes later. Unfortunately, the server bringing the food out dumped cocktail sauce onto our guest's shirt and sweater. An indifferent "oh, sorry" was her only reaction. The food itself? Just okay. My fish and chips were mushy. Margaritas tasted like watered down pre-mix. Considering the overall ambiance, cleanliness and vibe of the restaurant; the experience is overpriced. After dinner, in the nearly empty parking lot, I noticed that our dinner guest had a lot more cocktail sauce on his shirt than I initially realized. And I mean a lot. Basically ruined. After this lackluster dinner, we ended up at Port Canaveral to look at the mega-cruise ship in port. All the restaurants were hopping. Vibrant. Laughter. Fun. We then really regretted our decision to go to Squib Lips. read more

We went for happy hour, we had the calamari which was so good! Fish fingers were good too! I got the Miami Vice drink and it was so delicious, I had to have a second one. Queso and chips were not that great, queso was very thick. It's so relaxing to sit outside on the patio with a view of the water. We plan on visiting again next year on our annual Florida trip. read more

Service was fine, and the drinks were good and reasonably priced. However, the food was terrible. For an appetizer we ordered a fried calamari appetizer, and the calamari was over cooked and rubbery covered in over-fried hard batter. For entrées, we ordered a seared tuna sandwich with chips and a blackened mahi sandwich with fries. The Tuna came out well done on a stale and burnt bun and was chewy and completely flavorless. The chips were unsalted and soggy. The mahi sandwich also came on a stale burnt bun and was flavorless and dry to the point that it crumbled as we at it. The fries (which cost extra as a side) were rock solid from over-frying and also under salted. I had high hopes for squid lips and their location is great, but we will not be returning and no one should waste their money there with so many better seafood restaurants in Cocoa Beach. read more

had a drink and some fish tacos after work with a lovely bartender named devon I believe, she was super kind and accommodating and saw to my every need. read more

This was the third time I've been here and it was just ok. Whatever you do don't get the salad dressing. The salad was fine - but the Cesar dressing was like soup! I tried to eat the salad - but the dressing was gross. When I told the waitress that it wasn't good and asked for it to be taken off the bill she made this loud response that was quite embarrassing. The seafood pasta dish was ok - but not very flavorful - thanks goodness for Parmesan cheese - it helped a lot. The building is very tired and in need of renovation. The best part about this place was the fish outside the entrance. My wife and I will be checking out other seafood restaurants in the area. read more

Wonderful seafood stop by the beach! Went for lunch after a day at the beach. Every bite that we had was awesome. Fresh flavors. Even the sourdough bun seemed freshly made, and toasted just right. Fish was tasty, nicely cooked with a lovely glaze. Service was great and I hear the view at sunset is awesome. read more

Squid Lips - I would show you my Mahi sandwich, but after the first bite I was enjoying it too much to stop for a picture. :-) - Seafood Near Me - Cocoa Beach, Florida

great food great service had the buffalo chicken sandwich it was amazing but I can't forget our server RISA she was amazing and super funny she kept us laughing the whole time we will be back soon to try all of the other items on the menu also love the wild life dolphins were swimming right along side the dock with the sunset in the background don't forget to feed the catfish read more

The view is incredible; the food is good, not great. As long as you're going for drinks and view, it's a great place.

I reviewed the wrong location. Tried to delete the review.... so sorry about that. I have heard lots of folks saying Squid Lips, let's go to Squid Lips, Squid Lips on the island... etc so when I was driving somewhere else and saw it I pulled in and was happy to give it a go. I think next time I will keep driving. It was ok. I mean it's a nice location with lots of outside seating g so you can look at the water and watch boats and birds and maybe a dolphin if you are lucky. So, that's good. The food though.. ugh.. not really good. I had a grouper sandwich and it was ok. I believe it was actually real grouper (lots of fakes around here) the apricot lime sauce was ok but they were stingy with it. Bread was soggy and too soft. Needs a bolder bread. My one daughter had a Ruben that wasn't grilled at all. It was a ham and cheese with a pinch of pulled pork and pickles. No sir. That's not a Ruben. The fish tacos we got were fine. The kids meals (chicken and pineapple skewers) were crap and they were meant to come on frisbees but didn't... my grand kids were very disappointed. No sauce pineapple skewer not grilled... generally not good. Drinks... I mean if you want to pay Disney prices for beer come here. $7 for a 10 oz cup was too much. That's not how you get return customers. I do live local and would like to find fun places to hang out. Service was magical in that she disappeared pretty often and we were out of water and drinks pretty regularly. All in all, I probs would not recommend this place to friends. read more

The only reason that I'm giving this place a 1 star is because I found a dead bug in my conk fritters. After I mentioned it to the waitress she said she would speak to the manager, came back with the bill and nothing was comped. I questioned the bill when the manager came by the table his excuse was that we were sitting outside. Like I told him this was not a bug that flew in and was still kicking around. It was very much dead and in the food. Customer service is soso, bread is different and very good, stuff flounder was good. Asked for another glass of wine and never got it and never was asked it we wanted refills on the other drinks. read more

Just want to start off by saying the staff was great. They were there for anything you needed abs were prompt. The food on the other hand was awful. I ordered the fish tacos, that had no flavor and were in store bought tortilla shells (fell apart right away). We had the calamari that was flavorless as well and over cooked and chewy. My wife ordered the mussels (god bless) Chewy and no flavor. They had a soup of butter and white wine. I personally had the Cuban sandwich and took 1 bite. We paid the tab and made sure we tipped the service properly. Please save yourself money and check out another place. This was just awful. read more

We recently visited with family. Got a recommendation from Yelp sounded good, on the water with out side covered seating. Staff were great especially Craig, ask him to tell you a joke. Raw Oysters at happy hour were 88 cents, really good. Looks like a dive but don't let that stop you from entering. Food and especially the Bloody Mary were great! read more

Food was ok but is over priced. Employees seem like they want to do a good job but I'm pretty sure the boss is a penny pincher. Place is run down and sweltering hot at sun set. read more

Horrible experience!! The server forgot to put the request for one entree. Didn't bother to say anything when the other entrees arrived. Everyone seemed to get upset when questioned when it was coming. After waiting for almost an hour I asked that if it was coming that it be Togo now. Overall the food that did come out was not that impressive. I will not be going back anytime soon if at all read more

I really wanted to like this place. It has a funky old Florida feel. Dining outdoors on the bay is a plus. But the restaurant also has a rundown feel and could really use some sprucing up. Seafood is OK but not great. The reality is, though, there simply are better places for seafood in the Cocoa area. read more

Outside patio was very comfortable and a lovely view of the water. The food was good for a river side restaurant. We enjoyed the lobster crab cake although slightly overcooked. The fried fish sandwich was good. We were excited about the menu description of the drunken sweet potato but next time this will be a pass. It tasted like a regular sweet potato. Drinks were not tasty but effective. Our server, Shaelyn, was very attentive, prompt, and courteous. I would come back the next time I visit. read more

Beautiful place to be. Definitely recommend to enjoy your time. 10/10 plus the view is amazing

Food was so good we went two nights, had fish and chip special was cooked perfect an very tasty (lots) . Oysters appetizer second very good but small, seems lately they are small everywhere. Stuffed flounder next and some of best I have ever had read more

This place has really gone downhill in both the food, and the service. Waited forever in both cases. General Manager is EXTREMELY RUDE, especially with all of the dining business and named clothing purchases I've made there over the past 7 years!!! I will NOT be going back again... even the hostess told me there's a lot of new people in the kitchen... so doesn't that mean management and turnover issues??? They've lost a loyal customer forever, and it takes a LOT to "push my buttons," as they have done repeatedly... read more

Ordered the conch fritters, absolutely delicious with the Bahamian sauce wow! Their unique recipe for coconut shrimp and garlic mashed potatoes... I ordered the fried clam strips basket, everything was done perfectly. I even liked the coleslaw that came with my strips dinner. read more

Get the lobster macaroni and cheese! We came here, despite the mixed reviews and we're so glad we did! They were super busy, even though it was a Monday night, and were very good about explaining the wait & making us comfy at the bar while we waited. Plus, you can't beat $2 beers - and they were huge!!! Our bartender, Robyn, was phenomenal! She made drinks for the restaurant, and managed to get them all right - not an easy feat. Then when we got a table, she was our waitress, while still bartending for the whole place. She still was able to take the time to listen to what we wanted, make us feel comfortable, and make suggestions for delicious food. The Caesar salad was amazingly good, as well as our main course. We both decided on the lobster Mac and cheese. So much better than the stuff you make at home! Several of the reviews complain about the decor, but if you have been in Satellite Beach very long you will realize you have been sucked into a 1980s time warp. It's just how it is, but that doesn't make it bad. It's very clean and smells great inside. Definitely eat outside if the weather permits because it's beautiful! The kids will love feeding the koi in the pond. read more

Good food and atmosphere and right on the water! Great place to watch a sunset and have a lazy evening with friends.

Our waiter Craig was amazing and the atmosphere was great as well! It was right on the bay beautiful scenery!
