    Drinks were Great
    Eugene J.

    Very convenient to have a good restaurant in your timeshare resort, after checking in, we just went downstairs by the lobby and had a delicious dinner, I ordered a chili dog and my wife ordered a shrimp dinner, both were very good. Service was very friendly and prompt, my thing there was No clam Chowder, it was okay though. It's small Cafe with a nicecozy bar, very cool. They need to incorporate into the menu, Fish and chips , that would be cool.

    Just Be duo

    The food was so much better than I expected when we sat down outside. I had the Reuben and made some special requests- they nailed it. The chips are homemade and as they say 'to die for'. Hubby's patty melt was also very good. The service was spot on. Shout out to our servers. The best part was the surprise music. From 2-4pm we were so wonderfully entertained by Just BE duo. Evelyn & Bruce play an eclectic mix of music. She's the main vocalist and hits every note. He backs her up on an acoustic guitar and vocals. The sound level was just right. Every song had me singing along. They hv a list of 100 songs they pass out and you get to request your favorite. Lots of locals were there and even got up to dance. It made our afternoon memorable. Totally suggest you visit any Sunday (except in September and rainy days).

    Nice full bar lots to choose from

    My favorite Sunday Brunch place.. Endless Bubbles on a Sunday is why I totally enjoy coming here and meet my usual group.. Parking is in the lot or if you have a Cocoa Beach Parking sticker it's good to use along the side lot.. This is what I use to call my lil Hideaway but the cats been out of the bag for years now.. The dinners are plentiful.. The best part for the guys is that they can smoke Cigars out side at the tiki bar and enjoy the live music.. Ladies bring your bathing suit it's right next to the beach.. Steps literally..

    This place is a nice little find in Cape Canaveral. Located downstairs in the condo. We ordered pork schnitzel, the pork chop special and shrimp scampi. All were good and plentiful but the flavoring was mild. No insult intended but I'd guess it's meant to be, considering the average age of the clientele. I'd eat here again, I just didn't find it memorable enough to put it on a "gotta go back" list, that's all.

We had already eaten dinner that night, so we decided to come back the next evening for food. There were 8 of us, and it didn't seem too busy. After waiting a few minutes, we moved a couple of tables together so our group could sit together. One of the younger employees came over and started yelling at us about moving the tables, saying it was a fire hazard. Whether or not we were supposed to move them, the way he handled it was completely unnecessary, especially with children in our group. We stayed calm and de-escalated the situation ourselves, but what bothered me most was that no other staff member stepped in or tried to help. Having an employee yelling at your group while everyone else just watches definitely puts a bad taste in your mouth. That being said, the food was good and the view is easily 5 stars. Eating and having a drink out over the water is a great experience. They serve beer in plastic cups, which isn't my favorite, but I understand the setting. Great concept, good food, and an excellent view. The staff experience was just strange and unfortunately took away from what otherwise would have been a really enjoyable night.

For my meal, I ordered Spicy Shrimp Tacos with no tortilla, and a side of fries. The tacos have Honey-chipotle grilled shrimp, pineapple salsa, siracha lime dressing slaw in it. All of the tacos/sandwiches are served with fries, sweet potato fries, or macaroni salad. The tacos weren't spicy at all but it was packed with flavor. The fresh slaw and pico complimented the shrimp. The fries were piping hot and they didn't need any ketchup. My mom ordered the Blackened Grouper Sandwich with sweet potato fries. The sandwich has remoulade sauce, Bibb lettuce, and sliced tomato. The sweet potato fries were cold, but they quickly brought fresher hot ones to the table. She loved it. Mike got the Chicken Sandwich with fries. The chicken is topped with chipotle mayo, cheddar, bacon, romaine, and dill pickles. Mike enjoyed his meal. My dad got the Samoan Burger which has two 4 oz. smash patties, pineapple-bacon jam, cheddar cheese, fried egg, dill pickles, romaine lettuce, and J. Bird sauce on a toasted bun and sweet potato fries. He enjoyed it. Lastly, my sister ordered the Crispy Chicken Tacos with macaroni salad. The tacos are panko-crusted chicken tenders, topped with pico de gallo, shredded romaine, and chipotle ranch dressing. She enjoyed both the tacos and macaroni salad. Since the sweet potato fries were cold they brought us 2 free desserts. We got the Dubai Chocolate Cheesecake & Pineapple Upside Down Cake. The Dubai Chocolate was delicious and had a delightful crunch from the pistachios. The upside down cake was warm and paired excellently with the vanilla ice cream. Overall, I would highly recommend checking out J Birds Island Eatery. Huge shout out to both Delaney, the hostess and Charlie, our waitress, for making our visit amazing. We weren't having a good day, but they made it way better.

The rice had a touch of coconut and cilantro. The fish was perfectly cooked. Make sure you don't skip this one! The grilled mahi mahi tacos were our second favorite. Cooked perfectly and tasted very fresh. We really enjoyed the tuna nachos, but the tuna pieces were huge chunks which we found hard to eat. For this reason we would skip this. We did really like our server, but two of our items did not come out correctly. We ordered one item with no lemon, the other with the sauce on the side. The grouper came out with a lemon on the plate. The tacos were covered in sauce. We only asked them to remake tacos because we really couldn't eat them. If you have a special request I'd make sure your server writes that down correctly. Our server did have our requests on the order, this was a kitchen issue.

The service was very friendly and they were great at accommodating a larger group. They had no issues splitting tabs and making space for the group. The ambiance was nice. Being right on the water is great. They had live music. Good sized bar. Even the restrooms were well done. Cleanliness: Grade B. The place is clean for the most parts. Staff is regularly cleaning as needed. It wasn't insanely busy, but staff stayed busy doing what needed to be done. The only place that could have been improved were the restrooms. The countertop looked like they used a floor mop to clean it. Recommendation: use a clean rag to wipe it down and don't leave it streaky. The menu: grade B. Decent menu. We really appreciated that they had a gluten free menu to accommodate dietary issues. The food: - appetizers: Grade B-. The gator bites were very good; however, they were a little over battered and over fried. Salads were good. Oysters were great! The clam chowder though was a bit of a disappointment. It was unfortunately bland in flavor and had a slight burned undertone, as if it were the bottom of the pot. - entrees: Grade D+. We ordered numerous dishes and got mixed results. The Mahi Mahi was very overcooked. The coconut shrimp were good. The Rusty Scampi was a big disappointment. While the seafood amount of spot on, there was no flavor to it. The gluten free shrimp plate was another miss in which there were 6 normal sized shrimp and some severely over steamed vegetables. The seafood pasta was a little lacking in seafood and the sauces tasted like Basil Ragu. It just wasn't a good match at all. The chicken tenders were good and plentiful. Overall consensus: fried foods seemed to be okay, fresh seafood was mixed with blackened being very overcooked. Flavors were another big miss. Probably the main issue though was the pricing. The value for the quality was just not there. Recommendations: speak to the kitchen staff and make some corrections. Overcooked foods is an issue. If they are worried about internal temps, turn the heat down! Taste test regularly. Pasta sauces need some work. Take another try with the scampi and red sauce. Server staff was great.
