Florida's Seafood Bar & Grill

First of all our server Chris was amazing 10/10!! We let him choose an appetizer for us and he chose the Dynamite Shrimp (they were amazing).. My wife got the Dynamite shrimp tacos as well and she loved them!! I got the Honey garlic bacon wrapped shrimp and they were amazing!!! They even give you some fritters when you sit down and they are so good! Also at the end with your check you get a little cup of lemon sorbet! 10 out of 10 would recommend!!! I will be back here!

The food and service here was amazing. I hope we get to eat here again. They bring out these complimentary things that look like hush puppies covered in powdered sugar. They were delicious. The calamari here was the best I've ever had. Not super chewy like I've had before. My daughter got the lobster tacos and they were so good.

Came here today for my birthday from Augusta, GA. This place was awesome.. the seafood was absolutely fresh from the oysters to the gator tail. My mom and myself thoroughly ourselves with the food. Shout out to our server Julie.. she was absolutely the best. She set the standard on customer service. Thank you for being part of my memories Julie.

No outdoor seating but the place and atmosphere is great! Fried gator tail is amazing! Oysters were fantastic! Every platter was fresh and seasoned perfectly! The corn fritters were amazing with a hint of blueberry in them! The daiquiris were the best ive ever had (and ive had alot)! Highly recommend for fresh Florida Seafood at a great price!

When we first walked in, we were a little iffy because it wasn’t on the water and then we found out that they had so much to offer. So much space every employee treated us like family. We certainly changed our minds about the place when we walked in now. We truly think it’s great. We wanna go back whenever we come to Cocoa Beach this will be the because they have so much different foods! the seafood was delicious! The alligator the drinks. 🍹 the servers were fantastic. They even held off putting extra salt on our food. Not many do it like this place!!!!!! I’ll be back. Spending 150 was worth every penny.

We had a fantastic experience at Florida Seafood Bar & Grill! The service was excellent — friendly and attentive without being overbearing. The food was delicious and fresh, with plenty of great options to choose from. The fun atmosphere made it feel like a true Florida gem — upbeat, relaxed, and full of happy vibes. Highly recommend if you’re looking for great seafood and a good time!

Omar was our server and he was fantastic, he knew the menu and had great recommendations. This was our second time here this trip and I have to say it was awesome both times. The prime rib and strip steak were both to die for (and I’m from Nebraska, where beef is king) the seafood was pretty great too 😂

Pretty good place. We heard that they also used to own Molly's Seafood which we loved so we came here to check it out. The food was great and so was the service.

Enjoyed dinner here on 4th of July seated at one of the "best seats in the house" near the aquarium. My date and I both ordered tropical margaritas in the souvenir tiki glasses. The drink was tasty & fruity, but I tasted zero alcohol (and felt zero later). For a $16 drink, I expected a bit more there. I ordered alligator bites to drink and he ordered fish and grits. Both were satisfactory. Nothing to write home about, but there were good. Four stars for the free fritters and sorbet. LOVED those! ALSO, there is a 3% card transaction fee. They prefer cash.

I went with a large group. Between 35 and 40 people With the number of people in our group, the servers did an outstanding job. I ordered the lunch fried oysters, with steak fries. The lunch came with a side salad, which was tasty. The servers were knowledgeable about the origin of the oysters. Oysters were medium sized and cooked correctly. Food was good.

Great food! Their (free) hush puppies with powdered sugar were delicious! We both had shrimp and it was very good. Great for large groups. They have indoor and outdoor seating. Lots to pick from their menu. We will be back!

So glad we found this place! My husband and I had dinner here tonight. The staff was attentive and kind. The food came out quick and was absolutely delicious.

A mediocre seafood place but has a big menu. If you're into that fried seafood this has it but don't expect too much quality.

Called ahead but it didn't really help? Not sure why they did it. Waiter was ok, not great but not bad either. great decor and we've been here numerous times. Started with hot crab dip and gator bites, both were very good. Love the fritters to start with. Everyone enjoyed their meals with the exception of the scampi. The shrimp were good but there was no garlic in the scampi just butter and seasoning on top. Sweet potato fries with melted cinnamon butter were delicious. Crab cakes some of the best we've had. Lobster cooked perfectly and delicious. Fried shrimp had light batter and were great. Definitely will go back it's our go to seafood restaurant for over 20 years when we visit cocoa beach!

I'm honestly confused how this place has so many high reviews. My experience was anything but great. The food tasted like it had been frozen and reheated--nothing felt fresh. The wait to be seated and then served was unusually long, especially considering the disappointing quality of the food. The "fresh catch" fish was clearly frozen, the grits came out cold (and our waiter even admitted to microwaving them to reheat), and the broccoli was served brown and unappetizing. The mango salsa was bland and didn't bring anything to the dish. As for the fritters they bring out as a "starter," they were covered in powdered sugar and tasted more like a confused dessert than an actual appetizer. I really wanted to like this place based on the hype, but I walked away seriously underwhelmed and shocked at the price. Would not recommend, and I won't be back.

Props to this restaurant for its fun environment and very Florida forward decor! It really gives vacation vibes. Even as a Floridian, this place made me feel like I was on a beach holiday! The servers were friendly and very welcoming. We were game for a nice lunch after a long day in the water. As for the food? Pretty meh to be honest. I ordered a crab cake sandwich that was severely lacking in seasoning. I also willing to guess it arrives frozen and the restaurant is merely heating it, but can't say definitively. Either way, I expect a waterfront restaurant to serve up good seafood so a bit disappointed on that. But once I slathered on the tartar sauce, it was edible. I ordered some sweet potato fries on the side which were on the undercooked side. Zero crispiness whatsoever. Another bummer because it's pretty hard to mess up fries. My friend ordered the fried oyster po'boy and mirrored my sentiments on seasoning. Had to slather it up with sauce just to get some sense of flavor. But his onion rings were at least cooked right. Super crispy! I stole a couple and would definitely make that my go-to side next time. My other friend ordered a chicken platter and had zero complaints. I can't say I'm eager to return based on this one meal but the establishment itself was so charming that I might give it one more go next beach day. The menu was absolutely huge! Think diner style menu, so maybe some items are better than others. I will say that the portions were generous and the complimentary fritters were tasty! We all enjoyed those and the server was so kind as to package some up for us to take home.

My entire family got sick from eating here. The drinks were watered down and the soda was flat. They keep the cocktail sauce on the table with no refrigeration. The waitress was nice, but would not recommend eating here something was not prepared right and got us all sick.

GREAT overall. They got hot butter, great sea food, service as great. Very eye catching.

It's a little cramped but the staff was amazing !! the food was good and at an amazing price. Also the drinks were super tasty!

We were greeted promptly and seated. After our drink orders it took a while for the server to come back and take our orders, appetizers came quickly. Entree a while longer but everything was fresh when it came. The server was accommodating when I asked for additional sauces which was great. Refills were missed a couple times. Overall a 4/5 experience. Our waitress was stretched so thin it but food was decent and prices as expected for the area. The complimentary fritter basket was delicious but I like sweets after my meal and wished it came later. (Really tasted like mini funnel cakes) Nice little touch ending with lemon sorbet for our party. The lobster Alfredo was more cheese than sauce. But I asked for more sauce and they were accommodating thankfully and it took it up a notch with a touch of salt. Although the amount and size of lobster left a lot to be desired. I loved that the calamari had tentacles, a bit much breading but easily crumbled off and a better taste in doing so. The Lobster bites were delicious, husband loved his crab cakes although I didn't taste but they were meaty. The Thai shrimp taco was good and gator bites ok as well. We were visiting prior to a cruise and thankful we found somewhere decent that had variety for everyone. We spent around $130 for family of 5. Kids meal not pictured as well as fountain drinks and salads that were not good.

Great food and service! Ended up sitting at the bar because the restaurant was super busy. Surprisingly it was not loud despite being crowded. Excellent food but weird that my crab legs were on a plate stacked on top of my prime rib. Ate it anyway but don't want to think about the plate touching the counter then stacked on my food. The drinks were delish. Will definitely be back!

The food was delicious. Had a Caesar salad and added salmon. The salad was wonderful and the salmon was absolutely delicious. The waitress was very attentive even helpful. We are from out of town and so had tourist questions and she was very helpful. Very easy to get in, place an order and food delivered quickly. Everything exactly like you want when you go out to eat.

I went with a large group at the recommendation of some hotel staff. Our group was about 10 folks so quite a large group. The restaurant seating is well equipped to handle large parties though, and everyone's order came out on time. I ordered the fried lobster appetizer because why not? The sauces were tasty but the fried lobster didn't have any seasoning in the breading. So without sauces it was quite underwhelming on taste but well fried. My shrimp tacos were tasty! I could eat those any day of the week. Filling, good flavor and most importantly, they cooked the broccoli just right. It has substance and wasn't mushy (I HATE) mushy steamed vegetables so this side dish hit the spot! The wait staff was friendly and attentive so even though some in my party didn't enjoy their entrees- skip the shrimp and grits if you have southern roots- we ultimately had no major complaints.

Florida's Seafood Bar & Grill 480 W. Cocoa Beach Cswy., Cocoa Beach, FL 32921 3.5 Stars Oh, joy. I thought as I headed North towards Tourist Trap, USA known to locals as Cocoa Beach, FL. I get that most people don't come to this part of Florida for the dining experience offered; they are here for Space or Mouse-related things; however, people still have to eat, and they don't need to be taken for a ride in doing so. Hence, I keep heading up the coast to wade into the unknown clip joints of Tourist Land. This brings me to today's eatery of choice, Florida's Seafood Bar & Grill in Cocoa Beach, FL. I love Cocoa Beach. It's quaint and clean, with just a bit of fake thrown in to appease the ever-out-of-state visitors. My server for the meal was Alyssa. Alyssa was charming and spot-on throughout the whole of my dining experience. After asking a few questions about the preparation and source of ingredients, I ordered one of their Florida's Boil with a Caesar salad and some bacon cheese grits on the side because of bacon. Taking a few snapshots of the place, I sat back and awaited my feastage. The wait wasn't all that long, as I soon saw Alyssa heading our way with a steaming pile of grub. Click, click, click. A few more pics of the food, and it was time to dive in. I began appreciating what they serve here after trying a Titusville restaurant using institutional-grade ingredients. The seafood in the boil, being the cynosure of the menu was a slight disappointment. It was cooked properly and all in all, it was delightfully seasoned. It's just the mid-grade seafood was meh. The Caesar salad was prepared correctly, the bacon cheese grits were tasty and good. The corn fritters were fine, though there was nothing to write home about. For a tourist joint, this isn't all that bad. The execution was very good; obviously, someone cared about what slop was slung forth from yonder kitchen. The ingredients were mid-level at best and were certainly not winning any awards. Would I eat here again? Not given a choice, but I would in a pinch as compared to most Cocoa Beach food this is above average. The Big Boy says, "For slightly above-average food without going OTB, this is your place."

I shared the combo boil with my teenage dtr here on Easter. We had a very small Amount of overcooked scallops and fish, 2 potatoes, 1 piece of corn, fishy mussels, and the finest tiniest amount of crab all sitting in a bowl of hot soup/broth. The fries were a side and were forgotten. The food did come out hot, the service was fast, and the waitress did take off $3 for the missing fries. I would not visit again. It was poor quality.

Great food, quick service. Got there at 4 on a Friday and was sat immediately but once we were done eating the whole restaurant was full. Yummy lemon ice at the end of meal.

The Hampton Inn front desk recommended this place and said it was so good so we went...what a disappointment!!!! To start we ordered the lobster bites, they should be called bread bites. ‍ There was maybe a 1/4 teaspoon of lobster. no kidding! Then I ordered the mahi mahi blackened w picata sauce. No exaggeration...I was served cod not mahi, and not blackened, oh and it was a whole SIX bites! You read that correctly SIX bites of fish, w 5 asparagus for $34 dollars. It was such a joke. My friend ordered the scallops and well it should have been titled scallops on rocks, she nearly broke a tooth from the tiny rocks (not sand) in her scallops. And my other friend ordered the "boil", it was boring. I've had better boils in California. Sadly I would never recommend this restaurant and will certainly never go again. The only plus, our waitress was nice.

The staff was friendly. I ordered what I thought was a seafood boil. it was not salted, crab legs in water and lots of spices that didn't add any flavor. A meal for 2 people was over $160, and we left hungry. could not eat the food. took home the crabs to see if I could flavor them. it was a fail. It's not the same place I remember. 6 bacon wrapped shrimp were $24 small hard shrimp not worth it. the waitress asked me if I liked the food, I was honest and said no, she said okay. lol we paid and left. knowing we will never return.

The ambiance was super cozy and the server was very friendly. The food is delicious and I was served very prompt. Recommended

Paid $23 for a bowl of salad & 7small tasteless overcooked shrimp. Not a good vibe or service.

Food quality was barely average, but service was great. Prices were too high for the quality of food presented.

The restaurant was moderately busy, and we waited about 15 minutes to get in. Once we got to our table, it took about 10 minutes to get our food. Food was hot and absolutely delicious. One thing I did not include in my photos is the fried fritters with powdered sugar that you receive prior to your meal. When you're done eating they bring lemon sorbet to the table to cleanse your palate. There are also people that make balloon animals for the kids. The tables are shaped like surfboards. This place is fantastic and a place you must visit went in Cocoa Beach. You won't be disappointed. The entire meal including tip cost $60 which is reasonable, considering we got oysters. My only complaint is parking is a challenge when they are busy. It is still worth it.

Wait time was reasonable, service was good. Food was just ok. For appetizers, we ordered the lobster bites, alligator, and raw oysters. Oysters were fresh, alligator was good. Lobster bites were ok. For my entree, I ordered the Florida sampler which had rock shrimp, medium shrimp, scallops, and snow crab. I got the shrimp and scallops blackened and they were over cooked and lacked seasoning. The meal only came with 3 scallops which seemed small to me. The real turn off was honestly a lack of condiments. None of our food came with the traditional condiments. My wife's fried shrimp, no cocktail sauce. Crab legs, no butter. My daughter's baked potato didn't even come with butter and sour cream. We had to ask our server for all of these items. Seems silly I know, but it detracted from our experience.

Typical beach seafood restaurant. There's a lot to choose from my party kind of had a little bit of everything. Food was decent. Service could be a little better as soon as if our server had got cut when we got there. It spent a lot of time asking random people for condiments multiple times. Definitely a good place to go if you have a very large party there's tons of space. And strong drinks

We were seated immediately. We had a party of five. We had a very nice cozy booth and I'll server. She was very knowledgeable. Very patient very attentive. I'm sorry that I forgot her name right now we had one lady at the table that suffered from allergies she took her time to write down what she was allergic to And they prepared her food. Accordingly our food came out hot and tasty and I do recommend this location to anyone when you're in the area.

Good Ol Florida Seafood. Ambiance is perfect for everyone. Menu selection good for kids. Prices are reasonable. Lots of good memories here with my family. We had a great waitress Danielle. She really made the experience better by checking in and anticipating what we wanted before we even asked. We didn't take photos but my sister and I shared the Florida Feast. Hubby got shrimp and scallops. They keep the butter warm which is super nice. Food was good but not as good as the service. They gave us blueberries beignets I got and lime what is it called lime sorbet which was super sweet.

Visited last night with friends. Everyone had a different entree and every meal was judged "very good." Our server was amazing, anticipating every need. I ordered the "Florida Boil" and it had (from memory) six different seafood types, and was fantastic at every bite. (My only quibble is that they put a lot of Blue Crab meat in the bowl, but it all slides to the bottom of the broth and it's very hard to fish it all out.) Others had a variety of seafoods and one of our party had the Prime Rib which (his words): you could eat this with a spoon it's so tender. Now, I personally would never order beef at a seafood restaurant, nor would I order "the catch of the day" at a steakhouse, but I'm impressed that Florida's Seafood is able to serve up excellent beef *and* seafood from the same kitchen. They have a huge selection; if you can't find something here to please your palate, you ain't hungry. Parking is a little bit of a pain, so be prepared for that. But the most impressive thing to me is that this place, while huge inside, is very clean and -- most importantly -- doesn't have any odd smells. Sometimes restaurants, especially waterside, can have a musty-mildewy odor. Not here! Sometimes seafood restaurants can have a lingering oily-greasy funk in the air; Not here! I was very impressed with how fresh and clean it was. Definitely a "Highly Recommended" on my list!

Our tradition to eat here every year when we vacation in cocoa beach. Love the fun ambiance, seafood, service!

Enjoyed lunch today at Florida's Seafood. Nemo and Dori greeted us in the first aquarium at the entrance. The blueberry fritters (complimentary w/ meal) were delicious. Linguini w/ garlic sauce was delicious. Great lunch prices and serving sizes. Service was exceptional. Very attentive and quick. They do add a surcharge if using a credit card. Ambiance was perfect. Exceptionally clean restaurant, great atmosphere. No dust spotted on anything! And for a restaurant full of coastal/sea decor, that's a great feat! Bathrooms were clean and stocked. Menus were clean. Lots of aquariums full of awesome sea creatures.

DEFINITLEY coming back. This place was not pricey at all and DELICIOUS. Highly reccomend the chefs sampler it was amazing. My boyfriend got the volcano burger and it was AMAZING. The ambiance is great too. Service is amazing and super sweet. No complaints at all. I really like that. It was really close to the beach. They gave it a really good feeling. Originally, I thought that these were the ocean front seats but that's the restaurant next door which does not compare to this one at all.

Good food and good people! The place was cool but the bathrooms could be a lil cleaner! I would definitely come back again...

We went to Florida Seafood Sunday before our cruise. So excited. Short lived. My husband stayed sick Sunday night and through our whole cruise. Food poisoning via the lobster, we believe. It was awful. He never left the room except maybe 2 times to try and eat and had to get back to the bathroom due to being sick. We cruise from Port Canaveral and do not recommend this restaurant at all. It could of been a one time thing...... Believe me, the one time was enough!!!! Our waitress was great though, just super sad with food ordeal.

The food and service were both pretty horrible. They add a gratuity into the check automatically so there is no motivation for the waiter to actually serve you. Plus there is a massive fee for paying with card. The seafood boil has one piece of crab and isn't worth the money. They rely on bold seasonings to make the food seem better quality than it is. Somehow I think going to a Red Lobster in the middle of America would be better! STAY AWAY!

Service was good. Good was very average. My fish and shrimp were overcooked and rubbery. Hush puppies were overcooked.

My last review here was 9 years ago.....updating on my most recent visit. This place is my favorite seafood place in. Central Florida. Its loaded right off of 520 on the way to the coast. It is just a couple of miles from Alan Sheppard Park. We live about 45 min from here, so lunch or dinner here is a trip.....but a trip well worth it. We went for a late Lunch/Early Dinner.....quite honestly that is the best time to go because it is usually always busy, but you can beat the rush at these times. There is parking around the back and a few spots up front. Parking was sufficient when I was there, but I have been there at times where parking has been a challenge. On to the food! ....I ordered a combo platter with Shrimp (scampi) and Scallops (Blackened) For sides I had the Cole slaw and wild rice (which are my go- to sides here); All of it was tasty. The Scallops were not necessarily blacked so much, but they were tasty nonetheless. I really enjoy the Cole slaw here because it is a perfect mix....not too dry. I dines with 3 others. They ordered Shrimp & Scallops (all blackened), Bacon-wrapped Scallops, & fried shrimp. Everyone was pleased with their meal on this'd trip. Before the meal we are served Corn Fritters....they come with a bit too much Powdered Sugar for my liking, but everyone else thought they were perfect. They are definitely tasty. Seating inside is not really fancy, but it is what you would expect for a near-ocean side seafood joint. Seats are comfortable enough and the service has always been friendly.

Disappointing :( We arrived with a party of 9 and made it very clear we wanted to sit down as soon as possible since we had 5 kids with us, so it would totally be fine to be split up if necessary. Were told it'd be a 45 min wait, which we agreed to. After an hour and 10 minutes we were still waiting. What was infuriating is that a very large party that arrived after us was called before us. Not only that, but several parties after us had already been called as well (despite the fact that we checked in twice on the status of the wait time). Once seated we had no complaints with the waitress, she was quick and attentive. The food, which is ultimately the main reason for visiting, sadly another disappointment. Decent items: Grilled salmon Mahi Mahi Fish tacos Sweet Potato fries Subpar: Oysters (no good taste or texture, looked like they were out of a can) Volcano rolls (nothing like described, literally 'crab' looking spring rolls) Kids chicken tenders (too much breading and very tough)

This restaurant was recommended to me by our Airbnb host and it was close by, so we decided to give it a try! Looks like there's two different Yelp pages for this restaurant, each with slightly different names. Both Yelp pages list this restaurant as accepting reservations, but they do not actually take reservations. You can call ahead to be placed on a waiting list if your group has 6+ people, but otherwise you cannot call ahead. We arrived around 7:30pm on a Monday night and only had to wait about 10 mins. The menu is huge and there are so many great options! I had shrimp and scallops, my husband had the cioppino. We thought all the food was excellent! We had mojitos as well. Food and drinks were reasonably priced. We would come back if ever in this area again!

Entertaining atmosphere, very fun and clean surprisingly! Decor matches the beach vibe, food was delicious and well priced for the portions that you get, cocktails, and drinks were priced adequately, not overpowered or underpowered and well put together. Waitress and chef/kitchen manager, frequent the dining room and checked on us a lot. Overall, the pleasurable experience would dine again highly recommend.

This is a good tourist spot. The ambiance was nice. It's a fish spot so it's as expected there. The food tasted ok. The batter on the fried fish could've had more flavor. However my mom thoroughly enjoyed her grilled shrimp! The must have here is the fritters. They are delicious and dare a say dessert like. They were yummy. I didn't give 4 stars because of the staff. Some were friendly but our waitress just seemed rushed and like we were bothering her. We are patient people and aren't demanding so that kind of annoyed me. However, I wouldn't take that away from the whole experience. I would definitely go again and hopefully get a new waitress. Basically just an average fish house but a great tourist stop.

Everything was excellent!! Appetizers, dinner, service, and atmosphere was absolutely the best. As a local, in my opinion, no one does it better! Go check this place out

Outstanding Food & Service. Ambiance ok. Have been there in the past & will return in the future.

The staff was helpful and professional. However, the food is mid. I got the Shrimp Volcano and was very disappointed. It was described as "Shrimp topped with baked seafood." The dish came out and was just overcooked shrimp covered in sweet (and overwise flavorless sauce) topped with imitation "Krab." I'm not sure what I expected, but for $24, I expected more.

I've been going to this place for a while now and it never disappoints the drinks and the food. I have usually a hard time picking up what I want to eat because everything on their menu is literally five stars. Appetizers are well priced as well as most of the entries depending on your budget.

The service was nice. The waitress answered all our questions and offered recommendations. The filet mignon was cooked perfectly. The restaurant clearly had mostly locals. That is always a positive sign for me. The atmosphere was not stuffy or pretentious. All in all it was a good experience.

Shout out to our server Emmy last night! She was so sweet and smiled all the time! She did a great job of explaining the different questions we had about things on the menu!! I know she has great things in her future! Keep smiling Emmy!

Found this gem by a good mistake. Glad I did. The decoration inside is awesome but the food is better. The corn bread is sweet and the chef's appetizer. Loved the flavor in their Rosamaria and Volcano dishes. Been there 3 times by now. Great service great food and great decoration. Best part is great people

Excellent service and food for a large gathering. All orders quickly taken for food and beverages. Everything came out quickly from the bar and kitchen. Aa perfect venue and our waitress, Cherise was excellent dealing with individual receipts. Quiet for conversations and will be a new go to for us.
