    Crab benedict  Egg Breakfast
    Nanami N.

    Brought my brother here--crab benedict was the star! Fresh, flavorful, and perfectly saucy. Sausage and French toast were just okay. Solid 4 stars, will be back to try more!

    1egg breakfast with grits and bacon
    Sandra W.

    This is the proverbial greasy spoon! Wait staff friendly. Breakfast OK. Ordered 1 egg, grits, bacon and toast. They use good bread for the toast but they put too much butter on it and made it soggy. This place needs a good cleaning. Ceiling fans and AC vents need cleaned badly. Counter seats in desperate need of repair (see photo) Not sure I will return when I'm back in town. Counter seats in desperate need of repair.

    Sunrise Diner 365 W. Cocoa Beach Cswy. Cocoa Beach, FL 32931 2.5 Stars The name staring back at me from my random name generator caused a rueful smile to creep across my lips. This occurred because in a prior life from 1999-2001 I literally ate breakfast here every morning. This is a testament to how long this place has been in operation. However, as good as they once were, just viewing their name has become a dissight for they have gone severely downhill since the glory days of my youth. Sunrise Diner in Cocoa Beach has joined the list of once-great restaurants that have given up. Literally. Allie is my server and is one of the most honest pro's out there. You know you can trust your server when they tell you what to avoid. In this case, Allie told me not to order the biscuit. With that in mind, I did ask for some Moussaka and some Corned Beef Hash, eggs and potatoes. Looking around and taking a few pictures, I was saddened by how empty the joint had become. What was once a thriving, humming local hot spot had become a barren, dried-up desert void of all but a few stalwarts or the uninitiated. Allie soon returned with my grub and after grabbing some shots of that, prepared to get to work. First up was the Moussaka. I ask that you take a gander at the picture of said dish. It looked horrid. It tasted horrid. It was horrid. I don't know how you screw up a dish as simple and standard as this, but screw it up someone did. The sauce was just nasty. Maybe too much sugar or not enough herbs. I'm not sure, but I am sure it didn't sit well on my palate. Moving on to the Corned Beef Hash, eggs and potatoes. While this wasn't nearly as bad as the Moussaka, or what passed as such here, it wasn't anything to text Mom about. The eggs were cooked to order and tasty. The Beef Hash, while obviously out of a food service industrial-sized can, was executed properly and the potatoes were freshly sliced. If I had only ordered the Moussaka, this would have been a 1-star or maybe even a Swill Alert. This was the saving grace and it was slightly below average. That should tell you all you need to know about how far down this place has sunk. The Big Boy says, "There is much better Moussaka and eggs within 3 miles of this place. Go there. This place is yuck."

    Homemade biscuits

    Made a quick detour to Sunrise diner. As a matter a fact, we were trying to find a different one and bumped into this place with our rental car. Walking in you get that diner feel, and see that obviously this is a place locals go to, so you know it's going to be good. The servers are helpful in letting you know what to get if you're stuck, for the grits our server let us know that the locals have it with; pepper, butter, and put it over the egg. I tried it and was hooked! The catfish is really really good, fresh, and the breading doesn't take away from the filet. The biscuits though good, didn't quite meet up to my expectations. Overall a great little breakfast (served all day!) spot to have a taste of local cuisine.

    Cute little place that is a taste of old Florida. Locally owned with a real owner who stops by and checks on the food. Been coming here for about 4 years. Fresh squeezed OJ and large portions they leave you ready for the day.

    Asked for eggs over medium both plates, both were to slimmie. The plate closes to you the potatoes were under cooked. The biscuits in the gravy were burnt on bottom. Bread was not toasted enough.

    Gyro and Salmon filet (which was served with loaded potato soup too)

    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 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.
