Love this spot on the water at coco beach FL. Lots of parking good food and a couple of bars, with lots of outdoor seating facing west over the water toward the sunset. Live music. We saw pelicans and dolphins in the water outside while we were there. Such a nice spot. A couple actually proposed marriage right on the dock next to us with a sunset backdrop. Lovely. read more

What a great find. Live music, great service, and awesome food. They have a back deck right on the water that has a beautiful view of the sunset. There are also dolphins jumping which was such a suprise during our meal! Our waiter, Drew, did a great job and was very attentive. I am gluten free and dairy free and they have plenty of options. Their fries are made with rice flour which is such a rare find. They tasted amazing. The mahi mahi was so delicious. I would highly recommend this place for a yummy dinner with a great atmosphere. read more

Usually good service, atmosphere and food. Tonight, horrible service. 6 tables around us got quick service, drinks food and were done before we got served. 2nd drink order took forever to get. Drove 1 hour to come, eat and watch sunset. read more

Food and service was meh. Very limited choices on the menu. The prices were pretty high too, you're definitely paying for being on the water. I got the fish sampler plate and the fish was overcooked and really just not good, and I don't consider myself very picky. The views were nice but as a local I will go somewhere else for that. read more

The sunset cafe is great for Wednesday happy hour on Wednesdays at 3:30. Good drinks, good service and Great $0.50 wings (Wednesday only). I sit outside, a bit warm in the summer but the fans are running strong. After Chowing down on the wings take the wings and feed the bones to the catfish. I've never seen so many catfish read more

Solid 3. Good service, food. Nothing spectacular. Did like the dozen oysters for $23. The grouper sandwich was hefty. Fries were hot, beer cold. Tourist destination for sure, could tell by how the waitress spoke to us. Just wish they could have seated us away from young children. read more

I do not review often. But the server at this place was the worst I have ever had. Charmaine was not attentive at all only cam to the table 2 time. Got are order wrong.. she only put on her server smile at the end when she handed us our bill. More than likely will never return back to this place read more

Superb view of the river. Great Bar. Locals only at the outside bar. Menu is very limited. Tourists prices. Food was just OK. You are definitely paying for the atmosphere. The live entertainment was horrible. One man band guy definitely made us want to leave before the sunset. read more

It's disappointing when restaurants don't have a set vegetarian/vegan menu in 2025. Like to remove the shrimp from the Alfredo and then still charge $25 for the Alfredo pasta doesn't seem fair. Like it should be half price at that point. I wish they had vegetarian options in their menu like a quick wrap/bean burger(just substitute any burger with a bean patty)/alfredo pasta. While the menu was disappointing as a vegetarian, the service was beyond excellent. Our waitress was kind and took the time to talk to us. The restaurant itself is a beautiful scenic location and I would go there again just to buy a drink. I would love to eat if they offered reasonable options. read more

Love this spot on the water! Live band, dolphins, and a beautiful sunset. Typical bar food! I got the burger & it was good. Also got a side salad. My mom got the grouper sandwich. She said it was a little fishy for her taste. Portions are big. Overall great spot on the water though!! read more

What a view of the dolphins and birds from the dock eating section. Staff was friendly and warned us they were understaffed, but it was SSSSLLLLOOOOWWWW going for lunch. Entered at 12:30, left at 2:30. We had a bottle of wine for the long wait, so all was well. Food tasted great, and the water was great tasting, too. Nice place to stop for an afternoon on the water. read more

Sunset Cafe Waterfront Grill & Bar 500 W. Cocoa Beach Cswy., Cocoa Beach, FL 32931 3 Stars When dining anywhere in the Sunshine State, it's hard to avoid tourist clip joints, especially where Jeannie resides, Cocoa Beach, FL. And so it was with slight trepidation that I headed north. Don't get me wrong, I love Cocoa Beach; I just detest tourist traps, and the place is littered with them. Upon entering the Sunset Care Waterfront Grill & Bar, I paused as my eyes took in the scene. I glanced at my watch to make sure it wasn't the 3:30 geriatric dinner crowd as at 58; I was the youngest human in here by a decade. It wasn't that early, but it wasn't late either...is this how it begins? Tamara was my server for the meal and while she started out with a bang, she ended with a whimper. The charm was there, as well as the skill, maybe the desire checked out half-way through my meal. I asked Tamara for an order of the Sunset Seafood Combo along with some Fries. Taking in the atmosphere along with the view, I wondered what it was about a great view and average food. Is the rent on the location so high that it affects the ability to procure quality ingredients? Or maybe the owner thinks that the view will obscure all else and is trying to make as much off of each patron as possible? I don't have any answers, all I know is experience and experience suggests one of those, at the very least, must be true. If you take a moment to toss your peepers at the accompanying pictures, you will see that everything certainly looked good, if not delicious. The Sunset Seafood Combo consisted of a filet of grouper, shrimp, and a crab cake grilled or blackened served with your choice of sweet potato fries, French fries, or rice pilaf and homemade slaw. As one can tell, I went with the blackened. Nothing was ocean fresh, or even close to it, but everything was seasoned well. I found the shrimp to be above what one normally finds in a joint like this; the grouper and crab cake were not. The Big Boy says, "better than most places with a view, but still average." read more

Food was very good. Would be five stars except for the worst cocktail I have ever tasted. Sunset Grabber is an avoid at all costs drink for me. At least from this restaurant. The cherry was rancid and the juice unidentifiable. I will come back for the food, but I will drink water here read more

Water front restaurant serving decent food. Took in a family of eight and the consensus was middle of the road. The decor was simple but the staff were very nice and accommodating. For the purposes of lunch it served us just fine. read more

This place shouldn't have a three star. It should have a four star because there are two baby dolphins and puffer fish and you can feed catfish and the dolphins for free when you come in. It's outside that you can sit inside if you like I would say this place is awesome because the food is amazing. The people are amazingly nice and they just got Pepsi products plus fruit punch, which is delicious. read more

Came here over New Year's weekend! ***LOCATION*** The name definitely says it all. It is the perfect spot to see the sunset over the water! There is parking just next to it with plenty of free spots! ***EXPERIENCE*** We were seated quickly and had an amazing view! I am vegetarian and my boyfriend didn't really want seafood either. I had seen online that they had other options but when we got there they only had seafood on the menu. We decided to order some fries to split and one beer just to watch the sunset but we only stayed about 20 minutes as to not take up a table. The tables weren't full but the later it got, more people started coming, so we went to another restaurant. ***STAFF*** Very nice and checked in on us regularly! ***PRICE*** The price was normal I think we paid around 5$ for fries and maybe 6$ for beers but I can't remember exactly. ***FOOD*** The fries were very good, but this is definitely a seafood place without other options. If you don't like seafood I definitely don't recommend. ***CONCLUSION*** Great view and would be the perfect spot if you like seafood! If you don't, they do have a bar where you could go grab just drinks. We didn't realize that but didn't take up a table for long! read more

Welcomed in immediately and sat facing the water. The place has a dock look and feel and define Florida. Both the hostess and my server greeted me with smiles and given water almost immediately. The first bite of the conch fritters was exactly what I wanted. I ordered the grouper wrap and although the fish was cooked perfectly and the flavor profile good, I hadn't realized that it was a grilled wrap. Not a fan of warm lettuce. On a side note, a storm came in and they quickly moved me back away so that I wouldn't get wet. I think I'll order the grouper entree instead next time. Yes, still a good place to eat. Tamra, my server, was especially nice. read more

One of the best places to enjoy a gorgeous sunset, especially the last one of the year. I'm never disappointed with the grouper sandwich, and it was delicious. The conch fritters and shrimp cocktail were perfect appetizers too. read more

Stopped in for lunch on a Saturday. The service was good but the food left a lot to be desired. Started off with the conch fritters which had a very strange internal texture. The entree was a grilled chicken sandwich with fries. The chicken (itself) had an bad taste, luckily there was some honey mustard to help the situation. The fries were good though! Maybe we caught them on bad day, I'm not sure, but it wasn't a great showing. Also, the water tasted like it came out of the sink. Needs a filter... read more

Location: this is the best location to watch the sunset in Cocoa Beach area, Sunset is pricelss Service: terrible service, we waited over 20 minutes to be asked what to drink. The server came to the table next to us 3 times, only came to us after they left. We had to go and look for ketchup ourselves. Food: Conch friters were good a little hard and chunky but good taste. Drinks: were ok. We order 2 cocktails. read more

I went to this restaurant which was next to the marina where we were staying with my girlfriend. I found that the restaurant was pretty good, with a rooftop that gives a very nice view of the sunset. You have a parking lot next to it so it's very easy to park by car. The food is quite classic, I ordered Sloppy Joe for $12, I had never tasted this dish and it was very good and not very expensive considering the view and the place. Moreover we were served quickly and the waiter was nice. I recommend this place, the big plus of this place is the view and the rooftop! read more

The sunset is the reason to come! Beautiful! The food is a limited menu in my opinion. My dad asked for no onion and sweet potato fries and got onion and regular fries. It's the little things! We would come back but probably just for a drink. It was getting a little rowdy around 9pm, but what do you expect! Live music was a plus too. read more

Despite the reviews, we decided to try it here and I thought it was very good! We were seated on the deck with a perfect view of the sunset and there was a band playing as well. The drinks were delicious and the service was excellent! I ordered the blackened mahi with sweet potato fries and it was delicious. The portion was great and nice thickness. The others ordered grouper sandwiches which didn't look overly appealing but they said they were decent at least. I would give this place a shot, I enjoyed it! read more

This little gem is right beside the dock where our mangrove tour left from. We bought drinks to take on the boat (get the bucket!), then had food and more drinks after the tour.

Sunset Cafe Waterfront Grill & Bar - Blackened grouper - Seafood Near Me - Cocoa Beach, Florida

A very nice restaurant right on the Banana River. This is one of the many restaurants near the junction of SR 520 A1A. The main thing that sets this apart from all the others is that it is right on the water overlooking the Banana River. There is parking on the north and south side of the site. The lot behind (to the south and away from the main street) has about double the spaces as the front lot. Lots of outdoor (covered) seating and a large bar. As far as I could tell, I think that we had the only indoor space. The majority of seating appears to be outside on the deck overlooking the water. The staff was very friendly, nice, and responsive to the needs of the group. The menu is a mix of Land and sea options. I tried the steak sandwich which came out remarkably quickly for the size of our group. It was very good. The food is a little on the expensive side but is to be expected for the current economy. Overall, it was a pleasant experience with good food. This is a good choice for anyone visiting the area wanting a taste and experience of the Space Coast! read more

This place sits right on the water which is a big reason we stopped. It's on the cape and is beautiful. I came right when they opened and tried 3 different things to share amongst the table. We did the potato skins, chicken fingers, and a grouper sandwich. The pricing is reasonable. I'd like to come back and try a drink. Waitresses are very personable! read more

They had availability to sit us right away when we called and because Cocoa Beach does not seem to be bubbling over with options we went for it. Service was great. I really can't complain about our waitress. Location is good; lots of potential and nice sunsets, but the biggest gripe overall is just food quality. This is eat your food and run to the bathroom kind of stuff. Everything is greasy, not well thought out and overall just fast food in a nicer setting. ZERO options if you're plant based by the way so don't even pop in expecting to order a salad or finding a side so we had one diner just stare at us as we ate. Fries were good, drinks were watered down. If you're coming; it's for the views and maybe the local band playing but not for the food. read more

Went here yesterday with my parents & it's a fun little restaurant! The bar is on the water, which provides great views and we saw a couple of dolphins! Always super cool. Our bartender we had was great, she made me a frozen margarita that was great, refreshing and strong. My parents got regular margaritas and they were also pretty tasty. I ended up getting a painkiller which was huge(!), strong and delicious. We ordered the shrimp cocktail and conch fritters- both were delicious. The shrimp in the shrimp cocktail were fresh, and the sauce it came with was super tasty with a bit of a kick to it! The conch fritters were great, as well. Fluffy, cooked perfectly and came with a sauce that was spicy and paired well with the fritters. They had a live band playing, which was fun. The only complaints I had is I wish they had more fans as it is Florida. (But, then again- it's Florida, and the heat is to be expected.) And the parking is super limited- so plan accordingly! read more

Outdoor seating on the water with a great view. Service was excellent and our server had a great sense of humor. They had a live band that wasn't too bad. My wife had clam chowder and sweet potato fries, she really liked both. I had blackened grouper dinner. My fish tasted ok. The blacked flavor was excellent, but the fish itself tasted like it was from a frozen box of fish. Not terrible, but I wouldn't order it again. read more

It was my first time eating here, even though I've been in the area for awhile. We ordered wings and seafood combos. The wings were pretty amazing.

Its all about the views and brews. Not really, the food and bartenders are pretty awesome too. I found this spot on the Banana River not long after moving to Florida in 2013. They have an indoor restaurant that I've never stepped foot in. Why would I? Everything I need is on the large covered patio: great bartenders (say hello to Ms. Marty), outdoor dining, full bar, full menu, parking, wheelchair access, live entertainment, dolphin watching most days, TVs, ans much more. With all that said, its not a young party spot, which really makes it a nice chill spot for me. The patrons are typically older and retired, especially during the day. I love their wings, grilled chicken sandwich and coleslaw, hot peal and eat shrimp, conch fritters, grouper sandwich, and grilled salmon. Prices are reasonable and they have senior citizen specials. read more

After going to the Cocoa Beach Air Show this afternoon my friend took me here to grab a bite to eat . Let me tell you the good parts first . We didn't have to wait long at all to be seated. It was definitely busy . I ordered a hamburger and it came with fries and cold slaw ( I have no complaints. My friend got garlic chicken wings with some cheese like sauce on it and also ordered a bowl of lobster bisque. ( LOUSY ) the soup was to spicy and no lobster floating anywhere . The wings had no garlic flavor so when are AWESOME waitress came back she called the Manager Jason who quickly gave my friend a different type of wings to help satisfy my friend . It was very busy but our waitress was so helpful so it made the visit pleasant. Thanks Shanniele !!! YOU ROCK !!! read more
