Maybe not the best choice if you're looking for solid seafood. Service was fine, server was less than thrilled to be there and that's ok, happens sometimes. The food though - tasted like my salad was made earlier in the week. Our fried seafood was clearly frozen stuff, not made fresh. Cute place, great location, subpar experience. read more

Traveled with a large group to Florida. Arrived for my birthday dinner to find the restaurant in shambles! Extremely disappointed to see that yelp an other sites said they were open. Glad to see yelp finally updated the site saying they are temporarily closed. read more

Used to be a great place to enjoy the day. Now you can't just sit have a few drinks and enjoy the beach. You seriously have to eat to sit. Unless you are sitting at a crowded bar. With absolutely no view. I used to go there often but since last visit with rude staff I don't plan to ever go back. read more

The location is ideal and close to the coast and the food is OK at best. Drinks are also only OK and the price isn't too steep. Our server did rush us to pay out since her shift was almost over which was rude of her to say the least and for that reason I have this place 2 stars. read more

Loved this place! We came the week after hurricane Irma, so their menu was limited, but the food was still excellent! We got the bacon wrapped scallops, the pretzel with dip and the nachos. All great options! Their frozen drinks are delicious! Our waiter, Robert, was super nice! Love the atmosphere, the deck seating and the fact the it's right on the beach. We'd definitely recommend this place! read more

I've been here 3 times and there's always that one crew that's far over the limit and the bartenders keep serving them. Even the bars in Orlando will stop you if you're past the limit. The food is always cold or over well-down. I've never had it personally but every time I go here, someone is complaining about their food. Also, it's very touristy. read more

Went to this place while on vacation the service was horrible, the food was not all that good we did not get all of our order for the whole table, the waiter was just not knowledgeable at all. there was hair on one of the people at my tables food. i just know we will choose a better place to eat at when we go back for Vacation. the only good thing was the view of the ocean and the breeze. Music was way to loud could not talk to the person next you. read more

Seems food quality has gone the way of the Snow Birds, none to be found. The service was excellent and the drinks poured perfectly. I am a bit surprised that the management teams lacks the intestinal fortitude to speak to the customer when they receive bad food from the kitchen. Instead deferring to the server to take the heat from the customer. Along with the poor food quality is the even worse management team. Atmosphere, great service and good drinks will have to carry this establishment. read more

Great place, told bartender James exactly what I wanted and he nailed it. Extremely friendly chatted with us and took time to listen. He then took us home in the shuttle. He's the kind of guy if I was in the area I would stop back by to see if he was still there. I was with 2 other people and they both agreed. Food was great also. read more

We waited to be seated after 20 mins closest thing was inside then the server ignored us multiple times after she said once be right there after almost 30 mins of seating with no menu or even a drink we walked out we mentioned no one came to us and ignored us and they just said sorry and called someone else . Horrible experience . read more

So disappointing! This place was recommended since Sandbar's power was out. The food does not even come close to the food at Sandbar. Siracha Chicken Bowl and Mahi Fish Tacos were bland. Fish and Chips were pretty good. Worst waitress ever! Hardly said 2 words to us except when taking our order and she made us feel rushed to place it. Never asked about refills, etc. The server that brought our food at least smiled and was pleasant. Good music, atmosphere, view. Only reason I gave 2stars. read more

2nd time here and the food is stellar. Summer time was our waitress and she did a great job. She did say I was rude, but to be fair she isn't wrong. The fish Rueben and the fish tacos rocked! Thanks Summer for making the trip worth it twice! read more

Coconuts On The Beach - Bars Near Me - Cocoa Beach, Florida

5 years ago I moved from MD to the area and stayed with my sibling for a few months. During that time decided one night to go Coconuts (close by) to have a drink & light meal. Not only was ignored sitting at the bar, I went to the front and spoke to someone they sat me at a table & again waited 20 min - walked out! Walked over to the Cuban restaurant & got served right away. So one day (2 yrs later) I decided to give it another try. I don't get it? Is it because I am single person ordering? I WILL NEVER GO TO COCONUTS AGAIN! I met so many people in the area became good friends & when I told them about what happen (twice) they were surprised but also said the same thing - They won't serve a single person! I would give Zero if I could.. read more

Loud. Mediocre food. Barflies. Aimed for tourists. Service wanted to be good, but just wasn't. Food order wrong. Salad took longer to get than the rest of the food. Drunk patrons having a screaming fight about the dinner bill. Too bad its one of the few places to eat on the beach. read more

Stopped by for a post Coronavirus early afternoon drink on their deck to enjoy the awesome view of cocoa beach. Ordered the Fish & Chips to share with my wife. The menu description said a "generous portion of beer-battered cod." We got one strip of fish, a small side cup of fries both of which were barely warm. For $14 you think they could spare another piece of fish and some more hot fries. So sad how the word "Generous" has changed in definition as we get older. I know we should have sent it back but our wait staff never checked up on us and we were enjoying our time out and our drinks. read more

Overrated...but their location is great. bartenders do not check on you if u sit on the perimeter or unless you are right in front of them.

"Time for a good yelp review, right?"- my boyfriend, who ate the same burger twice and eats seafood vicariously through me

Well it seems Coconuts has gone back down hill again. The drinks were melted before they got to the table, the fish and chips, the fish batter was loaded and greasy, the slaw tasted sour even though employee said it was (key lime sauce), -and they skimped on the wings w/no drumette's. The waitress was excellent as always and the manager did take some off of our price but I think this has turned into a tourist trap so we're gonna skip this place until we get a tourist. read more

Stopped in today during a rainy day on Cocoa Beach. The service was good and so was the food. I got the jerk grouper sandwich and I recommend it. My wife got the grilled mahi on salad and she thought it was delicious. read more

Went on Thursday night. Very disappointing. They were out of five or six items we wanted to order. They're only saving grace was our waiter Seth (hope I remembered his name right). I believe we were his last table of the night. He was absolutely amazing even under the circumstances. Seth is the only reason I would consider ever going back read more

Cool little restaurant on the beach. I ordered the thai chili wings, but they gave me buffalo wings instead. I notified the server, she sent them back, when they returned, they had simply dunked them in the thai chili sauce. This ruined the flavor of the wings, as they tasted like both buffalo and thai chili. That was my only issue with the establishment. Probably wouldn't go here again. read more

Coconuts On The Beach - Bars Near Me - Cocoa Beach, Florida

The food was pretty good but the location was amazing! Perfect for watching our kids take surf lessons and still be able to chatty chat over a drink! Our waitress was fantastic! Will definitely come next year when we are back in town! read more

This is a decent place to have a drink and a bite to eat looking out onto the beach. They have a real cool outdoor patio area that has two bar areas and a stage where the live bands play starting round 2pm -11pm. They also have a stage inside the restaurant area, where the live bands may play when it gets closer to 11pm. The place is in the vicinity of some condos, so the city ordinance in this area says they have to stop the outdoor noise after 11pm. It is one of the more lively spots I have seen here on my two week business trip in the area. After 11pm on a Friday nite, you can drive up to the port a couple miles where that city ordinance doesn't apply, and it is still jumpin' after 11pm. They have 2 or 3 spots that are really cool over there for nice atmosphere and food during the day and a pretty jumpin' nitelife area for a small beachtown area. read more

Ate a tasteless meal with terrible service and a warning that if we didn't like our drinks, there would not be a refund.

Went to eat there last night. The band was loud so we ate inside. I ordered fish tacos with sweet potato fries and a margarita. My hubby ordered coconut shrimp and a beer. The fish was good but small. Sweet potato fries were good. The shrimp tasted like they came out of a bag from Sams. Not impressed at all. The servers were all standing around discussing who was " Fu&$ing around". I stood up and reminded her that my meal was over and I never received my margarita nor my hubbys beer. When I finally got it, I got a plastic cup with a too strong drink in it. And a 50.00 bill. read more

I feel like they take their view for granted, because their service is typically pretty awful. We are never even in a hurry, just hanging at the beach usually. But the last visit we stood by a dirty table and had to finally chase someone down to clean it, then sat there for 10 minutes, no exaggeration, waiting for a server while others around were being served, and never were asked for our drink order, brought menus, or anything, so we left. read more

I had a great Chipotle Chicken Wrap and the fries were out of this world. A member of my group had the Fish Reuben and really enjoyed it as well. Whatever you get - you cannot miss the fries. read more

Love the ocean view and our waiter was a nice guy and took good care of us. Great pina coladas!

Was OK not what I thought it was going to be lots of cigarettes food was OK good music great location

Great place for drinks, usually packed for that. Food was horrible, tiny shrimp with lots of bedding to make it look bigger and cocktail sauce is store bought. Pre made frozen shrimp, not fresh considering the price charged. read more

Touristy!! Service is painfully slow! Food is ok, the staff depending on who get to serve you is nice... Drinks are very good!

Aside from the drinks, it's not worth visiting. The waitress said they were short staffed and she wasn't kidding! My family and I went here after a long day at the beach hoping we'd experience some great seafood. There was a pretty small selection considering where we were at. I ordered the Chef's House Sirloin and was very upset with the finished result. The garlic sauce tasted more like a mustard base and the steak was darn near burned (still cooked to order), the I got about two small potatoes worth of a side and some green beans. My sister in law ordered the scallops and shrimp and said the sauce was more like gravy. My wife and brother in law both ordered a lobster tail that was over-cooked (almost burned). Two of my kids ordered chicken alfredo and said it tasted funny. Everybody liked the sweet potato fries. $400 dollars later ($100 more than we expected) we left. We won't be going back again. read more

So not my first time eating from here cause my mom brought me food from her trip, but this was my first experience here for myself. I have to say this place is awesome, right on the beach so great view. Friendly staff at times lol and the ambiance is great! It's a little loud but I don't mind and today they had a live band which was very good and entertaining. Not too bad of a drive here, wish this place was closer to home but not too much cause I'll be broke lol. I have to start by saying the drinks here are great a little expensive depending on what you get, like the dirty banana is good but almost $10 per drink and the ultimate margarita $11 not too bad though. If you keep it simple like a captain and ginger $6 that's more like it but I'm not complaining cause again the location is great I'll pay what ever. Food wise I ordered the spice Thai wings, these were good not my favorite I've had better but I would get them again maybe a different flavor. Too save the best for last OMG I ordered the ultimate chicken nachos with sour cream and guacamole! My goodness these have to be the best nachos I've had so far in Orlando, I recommend anyone who goes here to please try these damn nachos. read more

See all

John Taffer is a man who represents standard. His many accreditations make him indisputably the most well defined man in the Restaurant, Nightclub, and Bar industry. It is because of him that those of us have the outlet to do what we do. His high standards and societal presence demand a certain type excellence in the food and service industry which has resulted in a universal standard among those who recognize great food and quality service. It is through the Taffer Standard that I aim recognize my experience at coconuts on the beach and hope to do my best to recognize the Taffer Standard through this review. Brevard county... a place best known for its beaches and local bar scene, is home to many beach themed restaurants and bars. Coconuts on the beach in Cocoa Beach is such a place known for its social beach atmosphere common to many of those old and young alike. Whether your looking for a less than mediocre margarita, or a preposterously limited draft menu in which shock top is the only "craft beer", coconuts is the place to satisfy your wishes. Unless of course you are looking for a place that has seemingly average service, you are better off going anywhere else on earth than coconuts. I am a frequent venturer of such establishments in Brevard county, however this was my first experience at coconuts. Immediately when arriving inside the restaurant, service was below standard and continued to be so throughout the remainder of our stay. The only table that was available was encrusted in the remains of the previous party and due to the busyness of the restaurant we were left with no choice than to settle for such peasantry. The protracted period of time in which we had not been greeted after seating ourselves became the defining theme of our experience. Once the "waitress" finally made it to our table things only got worse. Not only did she neglect to remove the unpalatable remains of our predecessors' food nor wipe the table, but when faced with the question "Is a loaded corona $5.50 or $6.50" our server, who seemed to be confused by such logic, could only reply with "I dunno, your honestly asking the wrong person" and then persisted to give a smirk that was most dissatisfying, as if to say "I am a barley competent human being, I cannot be troubled with such advanced complexities. I could not help but to think of the extreme infuriation of John Taffer if he were to witness such smut. After about her third visit to our table which totaled about 57 minutes since sitting down (commonly referred to as SSD time), the aging food remains were finally cleared however it was to my great displeasure that the table was never wiped. These interminable waiting periods followed by very dissatisfying vocal experiences with our "waitress" became the norm. When our food arrived I asked her for a side of hot sauce to which she replied "No (in a satirical tone of voice)." I have never felt so disrespected by such sacrilege by a waitress in all my years. I genuinely suggest that this location seek the help of John Taffer in hopes of achieving even average service, should he find this establishment worthy of his prestige. Overall if you are looking for a good drink and a great place to hangout with friends in a beach atmosphere, I suggest your mom, the food was dece tho 2 stars. read more

Was a fun beach getaway place. Lively atmosphere and they offered a shuttle service from our hotel.

I stopped in here twice while on vacation. The first night, I had the worst drink anyone has ever made me in my whole entire life. It was happy hour so I got two drinks for $5, but still, it kinda tasted like vomit. No, I'm not kidding. The second time, some local who was trashed wouldn't stop hitting on me and then leaned over me while I was typing an email on my smart phone and started reading my email out loud. Really, dude? On the good side, they're right on the beach so if you're looking for a place to set up on the sand for the day, this is a good spot. Two lifeguard stations. And you can use the Coconuts bathroom if you buy a drink. If I were you, I'd stick to bottled beer, unless you like vomit. I'm just sayin... read more

Definitely agree with earlier posts that it is the best for people watching. And the best for getting a cheap beer on the beach. Whatever you do, DO NOT order the food. Unless you like nachos with cheese whiz and a piece of chicken that looked like it was from the bottom of a shoe. Actually, the shoe would have tasted better. I know I shouldn't expect a lot from a place called Coconuts, but when I get bar food, I at least want to know that I won't get sick afterward. read more

This place is recommended to us since we are from out of town. We had the margarita pizza chicken wings and Peel and eat shrimp. Everything was amazing great flavor. We definitely recommend coming here!! read more

Good service, good beach view from the patio, ok nachos, beer in plastic cups and the occasional idiot screaming out 25 year old song lyrics...yup pretty much sums it up. Happy hour starts at 4pm! read more

So sad, we wanted to eat there after learning it was top 10 waterfront restaurants in Cocoa. However after ordering icy frozen drinks and starving, we were advised the kitchen was "closed for 15 minutes" to get caught up. We waited 15 minutes and asked for our check, didn't seem like our waitress was interested in what would been probably a $100 order. I had to go to the bar to get another straw - paper straws suck and don't hold up in frozen drinks - and napkins, in which I ran into my waitress and she said "hi". We walked next door to the beach shack for food and that's a whole other story. read more
