    Cha Cha Coconuts has a fun vibe with good food. Food was yummy, but I will say my Jamaica me Crazy was watered down and bland.plus in a plastic cup. We sat outside in the evening on a sunny day and it was nice. There are huge fans placed outside if it gets too hot. I loved place was colorful and pet friendly. We had out small dog and the waiter brought her a dish of water. People were friendly. I'd go back.

    Stopped by for lunch on our girls trip in Sarasota! There's options to sit indoor and outdoor or at the bar. They have a good menu as well as gluten-free options, which was a pleasant surprise. Our waitress was very attentive and even offered some recommendations on food and drink.

    This place is everything you would expect and more!! As soon as we got there, we felt transported to the Caribbean. From the live music playing outside (which was perfect because it wasn't too loud), to the decor. The service was great, everyone was friendly and helpful. This was one of the only meals where we didn't use to-go boxes. The food was all so good, we devoured it all! My kids loved the hamburger, chicken "thumbs" and the fries. I went with the cap't shannen special, and it was so good! Imagine a hollowed-out pineapple half full of shrimp, chicken, pineapple, onions and peppers. It was a flavor overload! If I had to change one thing, I would like the rice and beans separated on my plate, but I loved this dish! O, and the house margaritas were VERY good!! Just an overall very enjoyable restaurant!

    Food came out quick and hot. Our group ordered coconut shrimp entree, Chicken Tinga Tostados, Ribs, & Mahi Mahi Sandwich. overall the food was okay. Ribs were dry and the coconut shrimp tasted as tho they were frozen pre breaded. Best part was the service and the quickness of the food. Great location right in St Armands Circle.

    Culinary equivalent of a rom com you didn't expect to enjoy: chaotic, messy, but surprisingly satisfying in the end. The food exceeded expectations, but let's talk about the ambiance reflected in rating: the bathroom looked like it survived spring break '09, and our server was in a constant game of tag with coworkers for help. Refills? Bussing? Emotional support? Thankfully, the kitchen carried the whole operation on its back like an overworked lifeguard. Verdict: Come for the food, stay for the fries, and hold your breath if nature calls.

    Stopped in a bit late for lunch on a Monday. The place was fairly full, but we snagged a table outside. I had the st tropaz fried chicken sandwich. It was cooked to perfection, as were the fries on the side. The sauce, however, lacked flavor as did the fries. Calypso sauce is just mild buffalo sauce apparently--not a very good one at that. Very oily. I wish they'd said that and I might have tried the bbq jerk sauce instead. My mom got the nachos, but as a vegetarian she got them without the black bean chili (contains beef). This dish was a good size, but also lacked flavor. The saving grace was our waitress. She was fantastic! Very friendly, but wish she was a bit more honest when asked about the flavors.

    tropical sangria, excellent hit the spot. I could have drank a pitcher.

    ha the ambiance was just what you expect from the name. mix of fun, beach, sunsets and more. Five star excellent Food, id give my sandwich a solid 4 star. had a grilled mahi sandwich with fries and it was very satisfying. no issues. everything on menu looked good. Service i sat at the bar and i will easily give her 5 star. She was welcoming, pleasant, just about perfect. she also was a kid. she lnew just how to work her cro

    Mediocre food and service. Nothing stood out. My Grouper sandwich was basic and for $30 it should have been much better. We were vacationing in Siesta Key and drove through St. Armand circle and stopped by for lunch. Our waitress had a bit of an attitude. I almost felt I was at Whispering Canyons in Disney IYKYK. This place is a skip for me.

    Cap'n Shannen's Pineapple Boat
    Sonam M.

    Everything was very tasty. The pineapple boat was my favorite as the chicken was cooked just how I like it and the flavors mixed in were good. There is plenty of seating indoors and the service was great!

    Michael, our server, was great! I am gluten free and they had many gluten free options. I got the Jamaican Chicken Salad and it was amazing! Nice chill restaurant that we didn't feel the need to dress up for. Loved it!

    The food was absolutely delicious. I had Jamaican jerk chicken tacos and coleslaw and my husband had the 1/2 rack ribs, rice and coleslaw. Our server was so nice and attentive. Love the colors and the coconut monkeys!

    I ordered the fried pork chops with rice and beans, hoping for a solid, flavorful plate of classic…read morecomfort food. Unfortunately, the pork chops were extremely disappointing--they came out rock-hard and completely devoid of seasoning or taste. They genuinely seemed like they were taken straight from the package and dropped into the fryer with zero prep, no marinade, no breading enhancement, nothing. The texture was so tough it was almost inedible, and there was no juiciness or pork flavor to speak of at all. The server was genuinely apologetic and handled the situation with professionalism, which I appreciated. The owner did come over, looked at the plate, said "oh wow," and then comped half the price of the dish. While the discount was a gesture, it felt more like a quick fix than a real effort to make things right--especially since the food was fundamentally flawed from the start. If you're searching for authentic, well-executed Spanish or Latin-inspired food (especially something as straightforward as fried pork chops), this place doesn't deliver. The execution here falls far short of what you'd expect from a restaurant charging for these kinds of dishes. With better attention to seasoning, proper frying technique, and perhaps a bit more care in portion prep, this could be salvageable--but right now, I'd steer clear of the pork chop entrée specifically. Other items on the menu might fare better, but on this visit, the pork chops were a clear miss.

    Locals were trying to tell me this place is overhyped but I think it's hyped for a good reason…read more The food here was SO good. As a Cuban from the Miami area, this is good Cuban food. And the portions are HUGE. We had a reservation which was well used as it was pretty packed. We sat inside. It was pretty warm inside, though, from the heat so just be prepared for that. We got a pitcher of sangria and they make it right beside the table. It was SO good. Wow. Each person got about 1/4 a loaf of warm bread. They did say it was cuban bread but it wasn't really. But hey the bread was good. We got their famous salad to try (one side order for 2 people to split and one person got it as their entree) and it was very good. They also make that table side. For our meals, we got the lechón, salad, and fish. The portions were HUGE. So much pork. It came with great tasing yucca, beans, and plantains too. For desert, we got the guava pastry and the natilla. The guava pastry was actually kind of amazing. Warm and so so good. The natilla was good but it was closer to a crème brûlée. It was still good, though. I'm excited to go to another (closer) location of theirs again. It was really such good food. We were also able to take our leftovers with us since they gave us so much food. The lechón plate is definitely splittable.

Fun and friendly server (cute and smiling Gabby) who made our red sangria tableside. Great Cubano sandwiches, tapas (especially the scallops), and yellow rice. That bread and butter...say yes.
