Seafood Atlantic

Such a great restaurant to have a meal. We enjoyed all the dishes we ordered. They were all delicious: The clams, the scallops, the asparagus, the broccoli, the salad. What a feast! Seafood Atlantic does not serve fried food. There is a nice terrace with a pleasant view on the water. Service is great. I highly recommend Seafood Atlantic.

Seafood Atlantic is a longstanding establishment that doubles as a fish market and prepared food destination. The restaurant exudes a well-worn, comfortable atmosphere that extends to its friendly staff, creating a welcoming environment for diners. The outdoor seating area embraces simplicity with its picnic-style setup and plastic tube chairs. While this casual approach has its charm, it may not appeal to everyone seeking a more refined dining experience. The menu, showing signs of heavy use with some items becoming difficult to read, speaks to the restaurant's long history in the community. Where Seafood Atlantic truly shines is in the quality of its seafood. The fish is exceptionally fresh, and the establishment takes pride in offering only non-fried preparations. This commitment to quality ingredients is evident in every dish. However, the value proposition is somewhat complicated. While the food itself is good, the picnic-style service and basic amenities somewhat diminish the overall experience. Nearby competitors with more typical restaurant atmospheres and longer wait times may offer a more polished dining experience. Seafood Atlantic occupies an interesting niche—it's unpretentious and focuses on quality seafood, but lacks the ambiance and refinement found at other local establishments. Whether you'll want to return depends on what you prioritize: if fresh, prepared seafood in a no-frills setting appeals to you, this could be your spot. For those seeking a more elevated dining experience, there are other options worth exploring first. - Food Quality: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4/5) - Exceptionally fresh seafood with quality non-fried preparations - Atmosphere: ⭐⭐½ (2.5/5) - Well-worn, casual picnic-style setting lacks refinement - Service: ⭐⭐⭐½ (3.5/5) - Friendly staff with a comfortable, welcoming approach - Value: ⭐⭐⭐ (3/5) - Good food quality but basic amenities affect overall value perception - Ambiance: ⭐⭐ (2/5) - Simple outdoor seating and worn menus detract from the dining experience - Overall: ⭐⭐⭐ (3/5) - Solid seafood in an unpretentious setting, but other options may be worth trying first

Average, overpriced on-water dining experience. Only seating is outside. Food was meh…shrimp tacos were flavorless with shrimp that were unbelievably tiny:(. Two $18 tacos should at least come with a decent side and not just gas-station nacho chips and plain salsa from a jar. Coleslaw was flavorless & Coke Zero was flat. Would not go back.

What a perfect spot! Not only was our lunch delicious but, all the staff are were friendly and made sure our experience was exceptional. The seafood was so fresh. Shrimp taco’s were yummy! The views are great! Stop here before your cruise.

Neat little place with fresh seafood that isn't fried. We had the blackened grouper and crab cakes. Fish was so flaky and fresh tasting not fishy at all! The crab cakes were okay. The service was great.

Great location right in the harbor, with beautiful views of the water. The oysters and shrimp were absolutely top-notch – fresh and flavorful. The clam chowder was outstanding, rich and perfectly seasoned. Friendly and polite staff made the whole experience even better. Highly recommend for seafood lovers!

If you’re looking for a dockside restaurant, please do yourself a favor and come to this one. The food was phenomenal - just the right amount of seasoning, and you could definitely taste the freshness of the ingredients. Oysters were absolutely massive, the clam chowder was some of the best I’ve had, and you can’t go wrong with their fish tacos.

Myself and my 2 sons (14 & 5) ate dinner at Seafood Atlantic. We had the seafood Feast for 4. The snow crab, mussels, clams, shrimp, corn and potatoes were delicious and the broth was flavorful without being overly salty. The seafood seemed very fresh. You can chose between salad or soup. We had the salads and they were average. Our only negative would be that there would not have been enough food / seafood, in our opinion, to fully feed 4 people. Overall, we'll worth it.

The perfect meal prior to a cruise. The food was excellent, as was the service. I had the tuna and it was perfect. The wife had the scallops, and yup, they were excellent. We were also able to watch a couple of the cruise ships leave, bonus!!!

Very good. I had the grouper w garlic & pepper. My wife had the stone crabs. It's refreshing to find a seafood rest on the water that doesn't have fried seafood! In Florida EVERYTHING is fried. Ugh. Nice people & helpful staff.

Great ambiance and food. Calamari, peel & eat shrimp, and Stone Crab Claws were very good! Service was attentive but not overbearing. Only issue is that located in the cruise ship port area so if ship is unloading I could see some difficulty accessing the area

Great fresh seafood but the "Chinet" disposable tableware put me off a little bit. (That's why 4 stars) We sat right on the water at Port Canaveral and it was very calming and enjoyable. Decor is more casual than casual but, again, food was delicious so that's really what we went for. I had a shrimp cocktail with a scoop of stone crab meat in the middle and it was excellent! Price is good here, especially compared to the tourist area around Port Canaveral. Possibly due to the disposable plates ! There is a seafood market attached to the restaurant so I am definitely convinced it was fresh fish. If you're looking for authentic seafood in a tourist area, this is a good choice.

The hostess was not very welcoming and friendly, felt I should turn around and leave. This lady seems to hate her job

Seafood Atlantic is my favorite restaurant in all of Florida! The food is amazing. Seafood could not be any fresher. The service is always the best especially if you get Andrea! What better ambience than being right on the water watching the Disney ships and fishing boats coming and going. And of course the dolphins almost always make an appearance!

The ambiance, service and scenery was great. The food was pretty good. I would go back.

We returned after 8 years away from Cape and had to come back to one of the freshest seafood, casual restaurants we have loved. We started with a dozen oysters that were brought in from Texas that were nice and meaty. $20 a dozen isn't bad. Not too salty. I had wine and my husband had a blonde ale. Totally laid back atmosphere! A lot of outside seating with umbrellas and wind blocking clear curtains. We shared our two sandwiches which included the seafood salad croissant and the shrimp poboy! We are definitely coming back here every time we visit the area. They also have a fresh fish market inside and the fish looked amazing!! Next time we will buy our own to cook.

This place is incredible! The staff is super kind and efficient, the ambiance could not be better, right on the water. The fish is locally sourced and delicious! This is the best place to eat fish in this area. They also have a little fish market right there so you can get fresh fish to go! I wish I lived closer but I always make a stop during my travel. I highly recommend this pace!

The best foot on the coast. Dynamite fish tacos with huge juicy hunks of local fish. Awesome view on the patio to unwind with a couple beers. Sweet staff that will take care of you. I would easily make the drive from Orlando just for the fish tacos.

Seafood Atlantic is a must try! If you only have one stop in Cape Canaveral, this is the place. Situated between Grills and Fish Lips in the port area, this seemingly innocuous restaurant has some of the freshest seafood along the Atlantic coast. Part seafood market, part restaurant- Seafood Atlantic has it all. I'm a long-time enjoyer for the friendly atmosphere, chill outdoor vibe, exceptional service, and of course: the tuna melt. This sandwich is quite literally the best tuna I've had in my life. What makes it so special is that the fish is fresh and the ingredients are local! The price is right and the restaurant doesn't feel like a tourist trap. This restaurant is the best kept secret in the area! If your server is Andrea you're in for a treat, she knows the menu well and can give you recommendations if you're unsure. There's ample port-area parking. Keep in mind the whole restaurant is outdoor. You can sit by the water, or under fans and a covered roof a little further away. Closed Monday/Tuesday.

Haven't been here in a while since the hurricanes and Covid so they expanded and remodeled. Great outdoor space. The food is still amazing there jumbo shrimp and oysters so fresh clean and flavorful. The grouper tacos were OK. The portion size was very large. Grouper was fresh but Could change up the sauce and add some more seasoning and fresher slaw to complement the grouper. The salad was fresh huge. Didn't order a bloody Mary but saw a lot of people ordering them. They look just like the picture. The waitresses were some of the same from when we last gone there. Loved seeing them. That says a lot about place that has a lot of the same help. Very bubbly and welcoming. Loved sitting on a high top table overlooking the water, cruise ships, dolphins, turtles. it is definitely a place to go and enjoy.

Fresh wild caught seafood tastes great. Very nice waitress. Also has a seafood market.

Service needs help. There was arguing at the host stand with us upon arrival. We could see and hear servers bickering at one another during our entire visit. The guy seated behind us wasn't greeted for 10min. Ambiance was aggressive, chaotic, annoyed with customers. It seemed there was no bartender so only beer and wine were available. The food is their saving grace. Menu online did not match the physical ones at the restaurant. Our vegan tacos didn't have many black beans on it as mentioned. However, majority of the food in our party tasted delicious. I wanted this to be my last word.

The food was so-so. The Mac n cheese that was served to my table, was quickly taken off, by the waitress, because it wasn't fresh. It shouldn't have gotten as far as the table, at all. The fish was alright. Not too tasty. I won't be returning.

I never leave reviews bad or good but this is by far the WORST experience i ever had with a restaurant, i don even want to give them a 1 star. The lady was EXTREMELY rude, she was very disrespectful to my table. Normally love all seafood but this tasted like trash. The seasoning was very watery to no flavor. When we told the server she was flabbergasted and automatically got defensive stating "ive worked here for 8 years nobody has ever returned food." Seemed very annoyed grabbed the food and walked away. Didn't ask for an alternative solution just placed the check on the table. Would highly NOT recommend this place.

Waitress friendly ,portions very small for the price. Fish tacos were only half loaded with fish. Conch cerviche was similar, not much conch and only about a cup in size for 14$. Waitress said that's the way it is, oh well I guess

I absolutely love this place. I live in Orlando but many times I drive to Cocoa to enjoy the seafood at this fresh catch restaurant. Lately I have been buying fresh fish from their counter, either a whole fish or fillets. You can't go wrong with getting some of the freshest fish straight from the ocean in this area from Seafood Atlantic . At one time the restaurant was my absolute favorite, they have gone down a slight notch to me and I think it's really because of pricing. At one time the taco dinner came with three tacos, and you got fresh quality fish like snapper or grouper. Now they give you two tacos and the quality of fish served in those tacos has gone down considerably in my opinion. Many other decisions made, I believe had to do with economics, but, it has not change the level of service. The waiters and waitresses are top-flight and always friendly. If you were there, I would definitely recommend trying the clam chowder, always creamy, fresh and well done. Steam shrimp are always another favorite at Seafood Atlantic.

My wife and I Drove to Cape Canaveral for a lunch on the water. Beautiful afternoon on the patio. Service was excellent. Had the smoked fish dip appetizer and it was a lot of food but delicious. Shared dozen oysters. 6 raw and 6 Parmesan crusted. Raw is the way to go. I had a half tuna sandwich with clam chowder and my wife ate grouper tacos. Everything tasted great. We took a large part of the dip home as the portions were big. The bread on the sandwich was incredible. The tuna was flowing out if the bread. So good. Add a couple sangria for her and a draft beer for me. Excellent experience

Arrived to a half full restaurant and waited 15 minutes at the hostess stand before a single server acknowledged us. And once someone did the first thing she said was "we're almost completely out of all fish" is angry voice. Very discouraging first impression. Also very bad considering 90% of everything on the menu is fish. Once seated, we waited another 15 minutes just to have a server take our drink order. After that we decided to leave. Can see why they were barely half full for a 7pm on a Saturday night.

Great Tilefish sandwich and tacos. Very good key lime pie. Very Spartan table service, but in keeping with fish market eating. Had a cup of phenomenal clam chowder.

It kinda bites when you go to eat at 1:30 on a Saturday only to wait twenty minutes to order drinks, ask the waiter how much are the oysters on the half shell. He hesitates then tells me we can't order? Wait.... How much are the oysters? Then he tells me. And now he tells me we CANT ORDER ANY FOOD RIGHT NOW. What?? We need to get some orders out and THEN we will take your orders. "How long will this take?" I asked. " No idea." First, they weren't busy. Maybe 30 people in the place. Four staff working. So we left. This is at Port Canaveral. We went to Gators. Same dang thing happened. See my review for Gators.......,

Y'all, they have vegan tacos!!!! Yes you heard me right!!! Vegan tacos!!!! The staff is always super friendly, it's beautiful here on the patio, I mean who wouldn't love a sunset with wine? If you're visiting the port this is a great little hideaway- they are closed Monday & Tuesday.

Don't order two different seasonings on your fish sandwich. If you order your sandwich blackened, they add garlic and salt to it. Dumbest thing I've ever heard. Nobody working there seemed that pleasant. Beer was cold though.

Fresh caught ocean fish, fish tacos are great with the fish of the day specials. Outdoor seating on port Canaveral... Very enjoyable at reasonable prices

One star because I didn't even make it in to sit down. Always wanted to try this place but their hours are different and the days off are uncommon. Finally found time to get the grandchildren 2 and 3, my wife and sister to go try it. As we check in 6:35 I instantly noticed one of the hostess/server look at her watch. Then they started delaying seating us with numerous open tables pulling restrictions on where kids could sit, again noticed the ladies discussing us as they checked their watches, which was an obvious not wanting to serve us. Go to fish lips or Grills, you'll be much more happier.

I'll start with the positive. The waitress was good. It wasn't busy but she was attentive and got our order right. We went on a recommendation that the seafood was good. I've grown up on the coast and so I've always been able to have good seafood. We ordered fish platter and chose swordfish and a shrimp basket. The seasoning was good on both. The prices are very high for most of the food which I was told it was pricey but then I expect exceptional food. The shrimp was average in today's price for a pound of shrimp with a side. The shrimp was overcooked so many were tough and rubbery. The swordfish was a small thin slice. Usually swordfish is sliced thick. Because it was thin it was overcooked. The cole slaw was awful. It tasted spoiled. The fish platter was $30 and the shrimp was $24. We will not return as it is on a row of seafood restaurants that we have eaten at all of them and the others have much better food for a better price.

Better call Becky with the red hair!!! She was our server and she was amazing!!! She was friendly, thorough, and prompt! The outside tables made for a wonderful view of the port, pelicans, and seagulls! It was incredible! As was the delicious, Blackened Mahi Mahi and Shrimp Tacos! OMG! The fish was soooo tender, fresh, and juicy! The shrimp was all those things but with a butteriness that only comes from the freshest of shrimp and just like the Mahi Mahi seasoned to perfection with a blackened seasoning. Mmm Mmmm Good!! Lastly was the Key Lime pie! It was sooooo tasty! The crust was thick and the custard wasn't too sweet or too tangy. It was just right!! We'll definitely be back.

Best peel and eat shrimp I've ever eaten! Everything was fresh, fresh, fresh. Service was great too. We will be adding this to our must-go-to-list for when we are back in town.

The food and service is and has been very pleasant. Great admisphire. The staff is friendly and professional.

Very fresh seafood, had the shrimp cocktail and crab cakes. Also had the fish tacos, delicious! It's also fun to watch the boats on the port and you may see them unloading fresh fish on the dock as well.

We love all of the seafood dishes and chicken wings, great servers and a good pour of wine. Always feel welcome there. Don't miss out on this great restaurant.

This has become our family's go to spot after a beach day or launch. The food is simply excellent! The wait staff are hilarious and friendly. Just a great spot to relax, socialize and eat good fish.

Scenario: 2 days after Christmas with 4 adults feeling exhausted and 2 kids under 2 sick. The visiting family wants seafood for dinner and I give Seafood Atlantic a call for takeout. Unfortunately, they were out of many fish options, but we went with what they had...the Sea Bass and Salmon dinners with Shrimp Cocktails and all the sides. Everything was...PERFECT! And delicious! And amazing! The fish, chowder, green beans, potatoes, jasmine rice, shells and cheese, shrimp...all were perfectly prepared to our requests, hot, and soooo tasty. The woman who gave us our order was empathetic and so nice, which we appreciated since we were really dragging. Can't wait to go back after we recover from the holiday!

Highly recommended. Our go to place whenever we are in Cocoa Beach or anywhere around. We live in Orlando so it's a good hour drive, sometimes we go to port Canaveral just to eat at this place! The food is sooooooo fresh and soooooo delish, my mouth is watering as I type this. We always get fresh catch as a side because their portions are huge and I know there'll be no place for our favorite shrimps and oysters. We take a bucket because there's never too much shrimps and oysters. My DD is 5 years old and has no issue eating fresh and properly cooked seafood at Seafood Atlantic since she was 3 when we first discovered this gem. The place is clean and simple which are as well very appreciated. The service is great! IT IS NOT A FANCY PLACE BUT THE FOOD HERE IS 10 TIMES BETTER THAN AT ONE. There's also a seafood market in case you want to get some of the goodness home. The sitting is outdoors, it's shaded and covered, there are heaters to keep you warm during the chilly weather. The sitting deck is right by the ocean so you can enjoy views as well. Many thanks to the owners, we love your place!!!! Pictures will be added at the next visit.

I was on a hunt for somewhere casual with great food, a beautiful view and delicious Bloody Marys. Seafood Atlantic definitely met my first two expectations but not so much the third. I ordered mahi mahi tacos which were fantastic in flavor and such a generous portion! My wife, however, ordered a chicken quesadilla and wouldn't recommend it. After trying my mahi mahi tacos, she then ordered some for herself and enjoyed them as much as I did. As others have mentioned, all seating is outdoors: part is covered and the other is uncovered. When we first arrived, it was raining. A clear curtain in the covered section provided the covered tables protection while still offering a nice view. Once it stopped raining, the curtain was pulled up and seats were made available on the deck. We loved seeing the boats pass by. When I placed my order for a Bloody Mary, I was informed it was made with rice wine and decided to still give it a shot. Unfortunately it was too sweet for me but was happy to finish it off with the shrimp on top. We were thankful for attentive, friendly service from Chachi and will be definitely back to try other seafood options with some beers.

Amazing food and fast customer service. Would highly recommend for a quick bite and next to the peer

Crab bisque. Wow. Crab meat cakes. Wow. Shrimp cocktail. Wow. Garlic bread. Wow. Do it.

We came here while waiting to board a Disney cruise. Great customer service, and super friendly staff. We ate outside and all the food was excellent. We would definitely come back. The line was really long and they quoted us a long wait but they were able to fit us in and half the time. This place isn't fancy. Everything comes served on paper and plastic but overall the ambience and food was just what we needed for a relaxing night. Even our toddler loved it. It was right along the water and we even got to see dolphins swimming by the boats as we sat eating dinner.

Some of the best clam chowder I've ever had. Lots of great seafood pot toons oomph the menu. Seems like the menu varies based on the fresh catches of the day. They do a wonderful job of letting the seafood shine. The clam chowder in the bread bowl is out of this world. Big chunks of clams in a perfect soupy broth that has a perfect consistency. This dish was outstanding. The scallops were very good. Cooked in a garlic butter sauce and topped with bread crumbs. The side dish of sprouts with bacon was a little bland. Needs a little spice to give it some flavor. The bacon is not enough. Service was super friendly and prompt.

We were driving from Miami to Kennedy space center when we craved for fish tacos and found this place. It is definitely worth it. Bryan served us and he was fantastic. Knowledgeable and friendly, he really took his time with us and made sure we always had what we needed. They have a sheltered outside dining area and a few tables under the stars right next to the water. We arrived 25 min before they closed the kitchen and they still served us with enthusiasm and no hurry. We ordered the raw oysters, smoked Gouda oysters (today they were from the gulf), house fish dip, swordfish bisque and fish tacos (tonight was mahi). The portions are GENEROUS. IVE NEVER HAD MEATIER TACOS!! They seemed pricey up until they come out and you realize why.... I wish I had taken pictures but we dived right in. The fish dip was yummy with a kick. I'm a nutshell you must come. Don't miss it

This place has been our jam for years! No matter where life takes us, we always find ourselves not being able to resist stopping into Seafood Atlantic when we are in town. The food is SO good! We have been to restaurants all over the world (many with much higher price points) and can say without hesitation, we have never had fresher or tastier seafood anywhere else on earth. Seriously. Also, we have to give a shout out to Andrea. She is the manager and is also the very best server we have ever had anywhere in the world, hands down! She is the sweetest person you will ever encounter and she always makes you feel like family, even if it's been years since you've been in. She is a truly incredible person. Needless to say, we highly recommend Seafood Atlantic. If you find yourself in town, stop in, you won't regret it!

Came to Cocoa to visit friends. We stopped by Seafood Atlantic for an early dinner, based on yelp reviews. Andrea took great care of us! We started off with the cheesy seafood dip, which was excellent! The girls had bloody Mary's and loved them. My wife had the snow crab legs (3 healthy clusters), roasted potatoes, slaw, and bread. One daughter had the crab cakes with roasted potatoes and string beans with a side salad. Another daughter opted for a chicken quesadilla with a side of corn on the cob. I had the red snapper with roasted potatoes and a bowl of clam chowder. All four of us said we would order the same meal when we come back! But then again, everything was so delicious that we'd be eager to try other items, too! Sitting in the sun at the water's edge, great company, great food, great service--life is great! Highly recommend! You're in luck if you get Andrea as your waitress!

Really fresh fish!! And an AMAZING seafood market. I won't be back at the restaurant though. $30 burrito that had pace picante sauce in a little plastic cup on the side. Prices were upscale but the vibe was SUPER casual. Skip the restaurant part and get a dozen fresh oysters and some peal and eat shrimp inside the market!!! I've never been disappointed by the market :)

I was looking for a family owned, non-commercial looking place and found this place on Yelp! Thanks to the previous reviews, this is where we decided to have our one seafood meal of the trip! We ordered the fish tacos and fish sandwich. Mahi-mahi was the catch of the day and it was the best fish I've ever had! We make salmon regularly, but this was better than I ever expected. Get it blackened! We did one blackened and one with garlic and salt. Blackened was better, although both were delicious! Nothing is fried! So you actually get full pieces of fish and they're great portions. The service was quick and friendly. And you can't beat sitting a few feet from the water! We ordered the quesadilla for the kiddos to split and all had waters. We were at about $50-55 before tip. I highly recommend it!

Was looking for fresh fish and outdoor seating and based on Yelp reviews I chose this restaurant. Arrived at 620. Hostess said right off "I can't seat you we close at 7" I persisted a bit and she said if there are only 2 I can seat you in 10 min. I said only if we can sit outside by the water and she agreed. For the next 15 min, I saw her kick out at LEAST 20 - 30 customers trying to eat there! We were seated at the furthest table away from the water but I just kept my mouth shut. Our waitress comes and greets us with "The kitchen is closing in 15 min just so you know" So we feel the clock is on us, no drinks we have 15 min to order and eat... That's really the whole story here I got a fish sandwich and my wife got a burrito they were adequate but overpriced and we did get broomed out of there shortly after 7. Management -FYI if you care you are losing dozens of clients a week due to your staff's actions.

Returned for the Lobster Croissant ($22). LOADED with Lobster claw meat on a a tasty Croissant! For starters, chose the cup of Lobster & Crab Bisque ($4). Served with a bag of crisps and Coleslaw. A nice light repast that was DELECTABLE with every bite. I hope to return to find Oyster Rockefeller soup and Frog Legs on the menu! Service was friendly, efficient and courteous. Dining "al fresco" was charming on a beautiful Florida evening.

If you are looking for fresh seafood this my favorite restaurant on the pier. The shrimp are awesome and the fish tacos can't be touched by any other restaurant.

I had the sea scallops dinner with clam chowder (salad or soup) and two sides carrots and broccoli. Food was excellent. Service was excellent. Angela was courteous and helpful. I ate in the covered patio and there was a nice view of the port. Great timing. I arrived at 1:15 on Saturday and the restaurant was not crowded.
