Food was great and our waitress, Koolaid, was amazing! Some of the best biscuits and gravy I've ever had!

This is a hidden gem in cocoa beach! Everything we had from the chicken Marsala to the chicken tenders were delicious! And the BLT (just got a standard version, not the fancy one on the menu) was THE BEST EVER! We ate here twice while staying onsite and our servers both times were so kind. Don't sleep on this spot! read more

What a surprisingly great lunch. We stay at the DBR every year and never think to visit the cafe. We decided to try it and ended up likening it so much, we came back twice. Fries are stellar! So are the fried pickles and the chicken quesadilla is probably one of the best I've ever had. While the decor and furniture could use an update, they make up for it in the food taste. The staff is friendly and the chef is a nice guy. The outdoor area is great if you're coming in off the beach or the pool. Inside needs some love. We will certainly come back!! read more

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. read more

We were referred to Discovery Beach Cafe by a local after we were fresh off of a cruise. We were a party of 12 and were graciously welcomed by our sweet and fun server. All of the food was prepared fresh and it was all delicious - the beer cheese soup was amazing, it was a special that day and the blackened chicken was delicious and very juicy. Their frozen drink menu was full of fun and unique combinations. I wish we were able to spend more time in cocoa beach as we would've gone back and spent more time outside on the patio. read more

Hands down BEST meatball sandwich in the state of Florida! Every Sunday we can- going to Discovery Beach Tiki hut- listening to the band and going to the beach! That's why we live in Florida ‍ read more

Great food ,great service, reasonable prices Get the taco Tuesday deal - awesome Other days you can't lose with the turkey bacon club - enough left over for dinner Sunday try the specials while enjoying the live duo from 2-4 at the tiki bar- 60 s, 70 s, etc Enjoy Leaving on a jet plane, under the boardwalk, etc - you pick the songs See you there read more

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). read more

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.. read more

Recently I stopped by to order French fries to go. I was so disappointed bc they were greasy and clearly cooked in fish oil. TBH they were nasty. Last year I ordered food to go. I was surprised that the owner thinks it's okay to add 10% to the bill for the "to go containers".. who does that? My husband sold restaurant paper products and he knows the containers is super cheap. Regardless charging for to go is ridiculous. We sure miss Frank; he really knows how to cook and run a restaurant. read more

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. read more

This is a great hidden gem on the side of a resort. Indoor and outdoor seating. Live music was a pleasant surprise. I had a salad that was delicious. The kids enjoyed their kids menu. Our server Val was excellent. 2 kids 2 adults with an app and couple adult beverages =$71!! That's unheard of these days. Go check them out you won't be disappointed. read more

Visiting our friend for the night and we wanted a beach restaurant so we could see the launch after dinner, but we had our small Sheltie with us. Cold nite but they opened the tiki bar area so we could sit outside with our girl. Food was absolutely amazing (I highly recommend the French Onion soup) and the service was fantastic!! Hottie was a bright spot of the evening with exceptional service and attitude!!! read more

Brought our puppy and they were so accommodating. We loved the service here. The food was excellent too. And then we can walk to the beach.

Loved the chicken picatta: smaller portion was perfect and the price very reasonable.

It's a good place to eat and take in the atmosphere but you have to know what you are getting into and set your expectations appropriately. You are not coming here for stellar food, quick service or great drinks. You are coming here to get some decent food, enjoy the beach like/faux Tiki atmosphere, be around locals and some tourists (most of whom are staying at the Discovery Beach Resort), have some o.k drinks and enjoy a slow and steady pace of the day. I like it because it's convenient and I know exactly what to expect. I sit at the bar or grab a table and know the service will be slow. In fact, you will need to be proactive. Sometimes track down the waitress, check your order, remind the staff about any additional items or preparations, get your own waters, ask for silverware, and the bill. lol I know this seems like a lot but I never really mind. When ordering, stick with bar food. The grilled fish tacos, nachos and burgers are consistently satisfying. Other items such as spaghetti and such are a "miss". I keep it simple at the bar. Cranberry and vodka, Club soda and vodka, Vodka and tonic. They have specialty cocktails but I can't vouch for them. Sometimes they are good and other times they miss the mark. When they have live music; it's good. The other day the musicians sang a lot of songs from diverse genres and had a great energy. I've noticed a lot of 5 star reviews are from yelp reviewers who have 0 friends and few reviews but the yelp reviewers who are elite status consistently give this place a 2 or 3 stars. I want to be fair. The staff is nice. The food is o.k. The place is fine. It's better to be honest so people coming here will really enjoy it and they will only enjoy it if the correct expectations are set. :) read more

My daughter and I ate there for the 1st time on 9/7/2023 and absolutely loved our experience! Our server, Koolaid, was just wonderful - a real Sweetheart of a young lady! The food was so good and amazingly large portions! I had the build a burger - out of this world - you all must try this! My daughter had the BLT sandwich platter - she ate every bite! Enjoyed a Beautiful walk to the beach! We WILL be back the next time we are in town. read more

Good food. Busy place could definitely use more staff. Taco salad wrap was delicious. Fried haddock sandwich was better than many places in New England. Delicious drinks and friendly service. Only disappointment was the slow service- they really just need more staff. read more

My lunch buddy and I had salads and shared a burger. The Cobb and California Salads were loaded. Thought we ordered small glad we didn't order large. The burger was cooked exactly as we asked--medium-- and flavor was very good. The wait staff was very friendly and efficient. Very convenient since we were staying at the resort. read more

I put this on the vacation list since it had good reviews. When I walked in, I was like... wha?? It reminded me of an old casino coffee shop, and it was totally and completely dead. I thought yelp might have failed me. Then, we were sat outside near this really cute tiki bar, had a super, super nice server (I believe her name was Jen), and found just what we wanted on the menu (a club sandwich). They were very accommodating when it started to sprinkle and we wanted to move inside (not that it was that busy, but y'know, we were dirtying two tables, etc). The club sandwich was HUGE and lovely, and the fries were delicious. One gripe - there was hard boiled egg on it. Unless that's a thing I haven't heard of in Florida, it is NOT normal to have egg on that particular sandwich, and it wasn't mentioned anywhere on the menu (unless I totally missed it, but that's pretty unlikely). I hate eggs. I was able to pick it off without consequence, and I didn't complain about it, but I would have really rather not had to do that. I would definitely go back if I wanted a big ole sandwich, and I would definitely hit up that tiki bar. read more

I had the 8 oz burger with chedder cheese . It was eatable. I was told that it was hand made , and not a frozed patty. The burger wasnt that memorable. Came here for lunch, so I will give it another try and try something different the next time. The group that I was with said they would give it 3 stars based on the sandwiches they had, which was the turkey club sandwich, patty melt, and the bratwurst burger. read more

We were staying at a hotel a block or so away and it came highly recommended for a local lunch spot. Its a small outside patio area with a 10 top tiki bar attached to the building. We were under the perception it was beach side, but there is no view of the water or beach. It's actually a side area of the Discovery Beach time share but it's open to the public. Daily drink specials are $2 select drafts, $2.75 mixed etc. The food was pretty good, nothing overly exciting. Traditional menu options like burgers, fish and chips, sandwiches. This is a once was good enough stop for us. read more

Discovery Beach Cafe - Turkey club with boiled egg, different but tasty. - Tiki Bars Near Me - Cocoa Beach, Florida

Oh my goodness. This place is truly a surprise. Inside and outside seating (Tiki bar style). The staff has been there forever and that says something for a tourist town. New menu item bacon wrapped shrinp with sauce over rice is to die for. Each person in my party asked for different apps and different entrees and everyone was delighted. Fish, steaks and burgers were our choices but the locals said they have specials every night like Italian, BBQ etc. that are also very good. Food is great and staff is exceptional. Unbeatable combination at affordable prices. read more

This is a nice little café for anyone who is staying at the Discovery Beach Resort. Our waitress was very friendly, but not as attentive as I would of like her to have been. The food was good. We shared a chili cheese fries appetizer, which we were not expecting it to be as huge as it was! We also shared the Pizza Rockafella. This was a new take on thin crust pizza with a fried tortilla as the pizza dough instead of traditional pizza dough. The toppings were jalapenos, chicken, tomatoes and cheese. It was really tasty, and again, large enough to share with another person, but it was light so you don't feel heavy before you go swimming in the pool or at the beach. For a quick bite to eat before or after the beach, and you happen to be a resort guest, it's a nice stop. read more

Three of us went to an early dinner. We ordered an app Dino's boom bang shrimp they were very good. Then we all had French onion soup very tasty. Dinner was blackened chicken, reuben sandwich & simple side salad. Chicken was done very good it had a fabulous taste, the reuben was very big and was good, accept for the coleslaw. The side salad was not acceptable I prefer green lettuce so can't say it was good didn't eat but a few bites. We would go back. Waitress was very nice & she she told us everything was made from scratch. The restaurant is very outdated but that did not reflect in the food. read more

Stayed next door and walked over to this unassuming place for the Friday fish fry specials. Fish and shrimp were hand battered tempura-style and very good!! Also impressed that they do hand cut fries. read more

Hotel restaurant, but the food was good! I had the ground sirloin, and my wife had a Reuben sandwich, and we were both pleased. They seemed a little understaffed, but the one lady who seemed to be hostess, waitress, and bartender was a whirlwind, so we felt the service was good! read more

I ordered a clam scampi pasta last Friday after reading the reviews on Google map (Five Stars!!). However, the moment food arrived at the table, a foul odor permeated from the dish and I had to turn my head away from the food. I asked for check, paid, reluctantly, and left the restaurant a few seconds after. It just blows my mind how this restaurant was rated Five Stars.. Don't recommend at all. read more

Great little restaurant, totally a hidden gem. Try the Lobsteraki (lobster with bacon wrapped water chestnuts) for an appetizer. The hand battered fried shrimp was delicious, too. Thanks for the great service Lisa! read more

The French onion soup is outstanding with herbs in the soup. The escargot with mushroom caps is very nice. It has outstanding flavor. The fish and chips are very good. It does not have a very oily left over taste or oil on your plate. It is very light. It was a very good time and good dinner. read more

The food here was great! Staff was extremely friendly a special thank you to Sue for taking care of us!

Great food... I ordered the Alfredo with blackened chicken, and it was amazing! My family ordered the Ruben sandwich, and have been back multiple times since to order it. Even if you're not staying on the resort, it is very easy to get to and parking is right out front. It is small family run restaurant. Great service. Very clean read more

Consistently the BEST FOOD EVER!!! The French onion soup is the best I've ever tasted!!! Wings, Escargot and Burgers are bang on too! Cannot go wrong with anything on their extensive menu. Did I mention the staff here is just as outstanding as the food? read more

As a local resident of Cocoa Beach, my wife and I have often visited the restaurant over the past 20+ years. When Frank and Mary owned it, it was a top notch restaurant. Unfortunately, the restaurant changed ownership last year. We recently ate dinner at the Discovery Beach Cafe and were quite disappointed in the service and the food. The fish sandwhich arrived to our table as pieces of fish nuggets on a bun. The fish nuggets were over cooked in a deep fryer. When we quiried the owner, she stated that the fish nuggets were the last few pieces remaining of the Friday night fish fry and her help is still learning the business. Additionally, the waitress forgot the side order of baked beans, stating that they were making a new batch. When the beans finally arrived, they were as cold as the can they came out of. Nothing special of Van Camp beans from a can. To be honest, the Owner did comp the food bill, but this is not the food and service quality of which the previous owners Frank and Mary provided. After going there for the past 20+ years, that was the last visit. There are plenty of nearby restaurants for the local people to patron. That is too bad because during low season, Cape Canaveral restaurants depend on the locals to stay in business. read more

Nice place for lunch. Prices are reasonable and service is good. This is in a resort but the path is clearly marked. Tiki bar is outside so you can grab a drink right off the beach path. read more

We really enjoyed the people and the food here! Grouper was excellent! Even the chili dog brought on the smiles .
