Wonderful place at the port to wind down! My waitress was excellent as was all the staff, and she checked on me frequently and made sure I had everything I needed. I had the coconut shrimp dinner with mango salsa and cilantro lime rice (I think it was cilantro lime), and it was delicious and just what I'd been craving. It was piping hot too and delivered to me in a covered bamboo dish which the top was removed when placed on my table. I noticed they did the same with all the other tables, so your food is covered while they travel with it from grill to table. I like that, as it prevents germs from reaching your food. Great atmosphere as it was relaxing sitting out on the water. There was a cruise ship right beside me. They have inside dining, covered outside porch dining, and a bar inside and another one outside with uncovered seating area right on the water. Highly recommend that you visit Fishlips! read more

The best part is the location, great spot to sit by the water and watch cruise ships leave. Food was okay. Calamari had good flavor but a small portion. Clam chowder was solid with a strong bacon taste. Coconut shrimp was well cooked, but the coconut flavor was very light. The coco margarita was disappointing it tasted mostly like sour mix with no real coconut flavor. I confirmed with the waiter it was made correctly, and he offered to add coconut syrup, but I declined since I expected the coconut taste to come from the tequila. Overall, nice atmosphere, but the food and drinks were average. read more

I ordered the bourbon burger-medium, but it came out well done. Btw, that's typical for most places around here. That said, it was still well seasoned and the portion size was decent, so it wasn't a total miss--just not what I was expecting. Flavor profile was sweet, fresh veggies, soft bun, bacon wasn't crispy, and over cooked beef. My buddy ordered the chicken fettuccine and thought it was amazing. Personally, I'd take that with a grain of salt--his palate isn't quite as refined as mine--but it's worth mentioning. I looked at it and it looked like over cooked chicken, pasta, and fettuccine sauce. He's a meat and potatoes guy and basic cooking. Service was the highlight. Friendly, attentive, and on point the whole time. The view was amazing and plenty of seating for lunch. This used to be my go to spot when I was a local. I haven't been here in a while, and unfortunately, the burgers used to be amazing. Currently, not bad, but not somewhere I'd go out of my way for either. I did this time because it's a nice ride from my house on my motorcycle. I would definitely give this place a shot! read more

Love this place on the water to ear, drink, and be possy watching cruise ships leave and wondering why I'm not on one! The atmosphere is very fun like an elevated sports bar with really amazing food. We had scallops risotto, lobster bisque soup, the clam chowder, all of which were fantastic. The service staff is always very friendly and Bree accommodating in the bar is exceptional, and the bartenders are always very attentive. One of our favorite places to go when we're in this area read more

Food was good but not great. The conch fritters & fritters & gumbo were awesome. Shrimp was disappointing as the breading was extremely thick. Weird that when you order a sandwich no fries or chips come with it. Service was spot on however, which is great for a tourist spot. And it was nice seeing the cruise ships go out of port/. read more

Went in for lunch on mothers' day and the place was busy. The staff was on top of everything and the food was great. The only thing I'd change was on the steak and egg bowl: there was nearly no hollandaise sauce and an extreme amount of paprika on the eggs. read more

Loved the ambience of this restaurant. We stopped here as we were staying the night before our cruise down the street. We loved watching all of the cruise ships go by. So fun! The sandwich was huge. Probably the biggest piece of grilled chicken I have ever had on a sandwich. Was very juicy and delicious. If I am ever in the area again, I will definitely be back. read more

LOVED the outdoor seating ambiance of this restaurant!!! If you can time your seating to about 30-45 minutes before sunset, it makes for a very stunning dining experience!! The servers were attentive here. We saw close to the door leading to indoor seating, so I think the servers had no other choice but to notice us whenever they walked past. The food was really tasty here. Great sized portions, and very flavorful! read more

Fishlips is the ideal place to enjoy a meal in Cape Canaveral. Located right on the water, you're able to enjoy views of cruise and cargo ships, as well as other boats. Everything on the menu has been tasty to our family, but we recommend the spinach dip and peel and eat shrimp for appetizers. For entrees, try the mahi or seafood pasta. The service here is great. Most recently, the waitress was very kind with a baby in our family. The food came out fast. We will return! read more

Visited Fishlips with a large group of over 15 people. We called ahead to make sure they could accommodate. They accommodated our large group upstairs and outside. Unfortunately it was pretty hot out and their AC units weren't helping much other than blowing hot air at us. The sun eventually went down and it was all good. The menu is large with various options. I had their scallop risotto - it was yummy. Also tried the seafood combo with shrimp and scallops and their mash potatoes. The food was great. Lots of cocktail offerings. The views are fun , we saw some heat lighting. The service was good! read more

We had a party of 8 and we were seated quickly. We sat on the outside of the upper deck to take in the sunset! Everyone had something different but truly enjoyed their meals! Our waitress was over the top accommodating and we can't say enough good things about this restaurant! We were recommended by a couple we met while watching a rocket launch, so thank you to them and I hope this review encourages someone else to go because it's worth it! The food is fresh and came out exactly how everyone expected!! read more

Food was so average and kind of disappointing. Atmosphere was ok. I was not expecting to go up a flight of stairs to where we would be eating which could be an issue for some. The view was nice though and the service was friendly. It would do in a pinch but not somewhere I would choose again. read more

Best view in town from the second floor outside balcony. Food is above average and the wonton nachos are amazing. Pasta was just ok and a small portion compared to the price of the meal vs the price of pasta. No woman should go home without a small take out box when it comes to chicken pasta. 3 ipa kegs were not available and the one ipa was flat. At 430 on a weekday with a 1/3 full house the service should be good but ours was horrendous. Waited 20 min for the bill and finally had to go to the bar so they could find her ... no apology or anything. Just clueless. read more

Do you like shrimp, scallops, lobster, and crab? Then I think you'd enjoy their Seafood Roll. It's a mixture of all the above tossed with mayo, celery, dill, and lemon pepper seasonings, all stuffed with lettuce into two griddled split top buns. I found it to be delicious! Service by Elizabeth at the upstairs outside bar area was excellent. She was Johnny on the spot for ordering, drink refills, and to make sure everything was good. There's traditional indoor downstairs seating. Upstairs one can find a large indoor bar along with a covered outdoor patio area / bar where great views of the Port and the many huge cruise ships are anchored waiting for passengers to come and enjoy their ocean going voyages. Great seafood, excellent service, and gorgeous views. I highly recommend you check this out. read more

I stopped by with some family and we really enjoyed our experience! It was a nice evening so we decided to sit on the back patio and you get a wonderful view of the water and cruise ship ports. Space X also had one of their rockets sitting out which was really cool to see. The menu has a good variety and everyone was able to find something that sounded good. We shared the Corn Dip which was creamy and balanced really well. It is very corn forward and not as heavy on the black beans, but I personally preferred it that way. The combination of cream cheese and Cotija cheese was wonderful and I was so sad when we reached the bottom. For my meal, I got the Korean Nachos and they were delicious! The wonton chips are crispy and crunchy, and are the perfect vessel for the toppings. The Korean beef was flavorful and tender, but not spicy (which is my preference). The Asian slaw added a great brightness to the dish. I would definitely get these nachos again! Our server did a good job! It was the quickest service, but we had a great time relaxing on the patio and she was super nice and friendly. read more

Sitting on the shore and watching the cruise ships pull out of port is a fun way to dine. Absolutely puts you in s good frame of mind. But, remember your sweatshirt. It is easily 10 degrees cooler in the patio than it is on the street. We ordered the fresh grouper special, which was tasty and prepared well. But the location is what makes it special. read more

We love the water views and the cruise ship. I gave four star base on the water view alone, My husband order fish and chips. Fish was Hot and large portion , however chips was not hot.

Fish was good, Next time I'll order seafood roll per Yelp review, read more

I love getting to eat by the water here. It's not a beach view but you can see cruise ships and space x boats as well as the rockets if you're lucky. The food is always consistent here. It could be better, but it's not bad food. I wish they would work on some signature sauces and have some daily specials that they're proud of. The snapper Oscar is a 5 star dish I just wish it had a little more on the plate considering the price point at $28. The service was fast and accurate. We enjoy coming here with our older family members who live nearby. read more

Perfect Post-Cruise Spot with a View! Got off a Disney cruise and had a few hours to kill before my afternoon flight--so glad I found Fish Lips! It's the perfect place to relax, grab a bite, and enjoy the view after disembarking. From the moment you walk in, it's fun and laid-back. There's even a photo spot at the entrance where you can pretend you're surfing--such a cute touch! I sat upstairs and highly recommend it. You get an amazing view of cruise ships leaving Port Canaveral and heading into the ocean. It's peaceful, scenic, and totally adds to the vibe. I ordered a Buffalo Chicken Salad with blue cheese--a secret menu item that's not listed anymore, so ask for it! Btw Alexia was a great server. I had t with Italian dressing instead of blue cheese, and it was absolutely delicious. Super flavorful and satisfying. And the presentation? Gorgeous! It was served in a traditional bamboo steamer, which made it feel tropical and unique--like the cruise wasn't quite over yet! Tip: Sit upstairs for the best views and ask about the secret menu. Whether you're just off a cruise or a local looking for a great meal, Fish Lips is a win. read more

Popped in for lunch before our cruise. Restaurant is giving beach town vibes! It was very busy so service was slow, getting seated took longer than originally expected and the bar wait was long. The drinks were great! I preferred my margarita over the bucket but of course had to try one. Once we ordered our food it came out pretty quick. My poke bowl was super filling and had a kick to it with the spicy mayo. This was the perfect way to kick off our bachelorette weekend! read more

** FishLips Cocoa Beach- Have you ever sailed out of Canaveral and you see people waving at the ship as you are leaving ? This is the place! Reasonably priced food, especially considering it is on the water as well...we had a great server, probably a College student, very sweet guy, service was prompt and excellent.... Our orders were Cheeseburger with Fries, Korean Beef Nachos and Ribeye Steak ..all delivered fresh and hot...it was reported to me that the Cheeseburger was grilled and delicious, the Ribeye was cooked perfectly and was good and the Korean Nachos was delish, had a little bite to them which was perfect and enough to share with someone else, potion very plentiful..inside and outside bars, inside and outside, dining inside with retractable windows on the water, outside and in bar area, something for everyone.. recommended for sure if on area and looking for a place that will not break your wallet, with a view and has good food too ..plus...we also had. A great view of the new Star of the Seas too! read more

There was a launch that was happening at 5:15 pm so we sat upstairs at the bar. The bartenders Rob and Hillary were amazing. So friendly. We enjoyed a couple happy hour drinks. My husband had a mojito and said it was delicious and refreshing. We enjoyed two appetizers- the grilled Brie was so good. The bang shrimp was a good portion and very tasty. When the launch went off we stepped outside and had a great view along with rumbling sound of it. Very cool. read more

4 Stars for a great location and views as well as friendly service. It's been years since I had been to Fishlips and I finally had a chance during a recent beach trip. This restaurant is not far from Canaveral and Cocoa beach and it's a great option for waterfront views of the giant cruise ships as they head out of the port. We were lucky enough to get a table in the covered outdoor patio (there's an uncovered part too). Our server, Lisa, was lovely and gave us the recommendation to get the black bean and corn dip along with our seafood. It was a solid rec! We also absolutely devoured the peel-your-own shrimp shareable appetizer and the mussels. The mussels come in a white wine sauce that is so absolutely delicious that you'll want to tip the bowl into your mouth after you're done soaking the accompanying bread in the flavorful broth! The only dish we didn't enjoy is the oysters. They're Gulf oysters and the menu mentions some treatment they do on the oysters to prevent any harmful bacteria. The oysters come out served on ice and they're larger than any I've ever seen before. Though I added some of the cocktail sauce and lemon that comes with the dish, I had a hard time chewing and swallowing them. It was pretty unpleasant, so I left the rest. Other than that one dish though, everything was really tasty! *Note: they have a vegetarian section of the menu, so don't worry if you have non meat and seafood eating! Overall, this is always going to be a go-to spot for views, drinks, and solid seafood near the beach! read more

I have been to this location several times. Usually, the food and service are okay. However, on my last visit, the food was what I expected, but the service was terrible. I made the mistake of sitting at the bar upstairs. I arrived at 7:00 PM and left at 9:00. There was one other couple at the bar, and I thought I was invisible. I had to walk around the bar to get any service. I start with shrimp and a drink. It took a very long time for the shrimp to come out. I finished my drink and sat waiting for someone to come back. I should have left because I didn't think it could worsen, but I was wrong. I finally found the bartender and ordered another drink, a salad, and an entree. I would have expected the salad to come out first, but no. It took 30 minutes for the salad and entree to come out together. The bartender put the lid on the basket so the entree would not get cold while I was eating my salad. So I would not eat cold fish; I had to eat the entree first, then the salad. It would be common sense not to bring out the salad and entree at the same time, but it was obvious he did not have any common sense and did not care to do the basics of his job I recommend against sitting at the bar or eating at Rusty's or Grills, where they at least appreciate your business read more
