This is the best restaurant in Cocoa Beach! The bread is fantastic, and the carrot cake is incredible. I've never had any complaints whatsoever, except now they charge for the bread. The food is always fresh. The presentation, taste, temperature, atmosphere, and staff -- everything is amazing. read more

my favorite part about this spot was Donna!! she is a great conversationalist, super sweet and accommodating. donna, if you are reading this- you left a lasting impression on me! i dont really have nice things to say about other establishments in the cocoa beach area (other than jazzys and here at florida's fresh grill) so i was very relieved that donna was there during my visit. my favorite foods during this visit were the grouper bites and the complimentary fresh bread! my first time having chilean seabass- while it was very delicious (buttery) and filling- i had nothing else to compare it to. skip the clam chowder here, i wasnt impressed nor disappointed- just eh. you can save the calories for the other dishes here lol vibey (and dark!) restaurant - i could see this spot being a cool spot for small bites and yap with friends or even a date ample parking, situated in a publix and other lil establishments. found it out of place to have a pricier and nicer spot in this plaza but no complaints!! i love the big parking lot! read more

Chris was our server and he was 100% wonderful. He was attentive, gave great recommendations, and made sure we never had empty glasses. He was well versed in the menu, checked to make sure we were doing okay, and was overall very respectful! The food was delicious!! The Coconut Shrimp app was amazing. The pineapple rum sauce was new to us and so divine. We shared the Florida Fresh Salad with salmon (picture is of it split). The portions were generous and the flavors were so well balanced. I especially loved the nuts and that the salmon was grilled over an open fire. A fresh and delicious bite. We went during late afternoon/early evening and there was fun music kept at a very reasonable volume. The place is very well kept and the lighting is very comfortable. We for sure will be back next time we're in the Cocoa Beach area! Must visit! read more

We have been here several times. Order the same thing. Tonight the "large" shrimp arrived butterflied with the shell on. Usually it comes deveined and with the tail only. After a little investigation I noticed why. These are medium shrimp that they are trying to stretch a bit. I get it. It's September and the season is thin but it's pretty obvious. How about just run a special instead. read more

Florida's Fresh Grill is a great seafood option. The outside is unassuming being located in strip mall next to a Publix, but the inside was nice and the food was great. Plenty of parking directly out front on a Monday night in early January, our party of 5 walked in and was seated in minutes. We had a few appetizers, and the Daily Catch fried bites and calamari were both absolutely outstanding. The fried bites were some of the best fried fish I've had; the batter was light but still present, the fish flavor was subtle but present, and the texture was crisp on the outside and buttery on the inside. The calamari was similarly delicious, a good sized portion of delectably tender pieces with a thin crunch. The entrees were very good, with the mashed potatoes winning best side and being absolutely raved about by everyone at the table who ordered them. The only underperformer of the night was the bread service. While the herb butter accompaniment was delicious, the bread itself looked and tasted like a soft fat bread stick. Next time we'll likely pass on this and just get a second order of calamari instead. read more

Florida's Fresh Grill - Steak dinner - Seafood Near Me - Cocoa Beach, Florida

We had a great experience over Labor Day weekend! My husband and I both ordered the redfish special, and the portion size and flavor were exceptional. Everything was delicious and beautifully prepared. I had the Poma Rita and my husband had an Old Fashioned, and both drinks were excellent. Our server was attentive, friendly, and very knowledgeable about the menu, which we found extremely helpful when making our selections. Overall, our experience was amazing from start to finish. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal, the drinks, and the service, and we highly recommend this establishment. We will definitely be back! read more

Good service but the food was really overpriced and sub par. There wasn't one thing on our plates that was "great" it was all good or okay. The ambiance was nice it was a bit fancier looking inside than I would have thought. read more

Florida Fresh Grill totally impressed me! Their hush puppies were absolutely awesome! They're crispy on the outside, soft and flavorful on the inside. The fresh seafood was delicious and cooked perfectly! The whole meal felt fresh and satisfying, making it a great spot if you're craving quality seafood with some Southern comfort on the side. Definitely worth a visit! This is one of my favorite spots for seafood on the way back from Cocoa Beach every time! read more

Food is always amazing. Great service and so many options. We love the steak & all of the sides. Highly recommend. Best seafood spot in the area. read more

Florida's Fresh Grill - Seafood Near Me - Cocoa Beach, Florida

Went to FL Fresh Grill on the last night of our friend's trip to Cocoa Beach! Overall a good experience, but this was a one off visit so nothing to compare it to! Take our opinions with a grain of salt! 3.5 stars is not an option, but that's where it sits on my scale :). So first things first, the service was totally fine, very pleasant and friendly! The wait for our food was pretty long but they kept checking on us and we had bread and drinks to hold off. Excellent bread btw! We tried four entrees and two desserts, let's get into it! Here are 4 different perspectives on the experiences :) First person (shellfish allergy) ordered the filet, potatoes & pasta salad! Overall enjoyed thoroughly, the steak was cooked perfectly and the shellfish allergy was addressed and reassured of no possibility of cross contamination! Great choice for just a good steak done right! Second person ordered the salmon, green beans and pasta salad! The salmon was delicious and crispy, notes to the teriyaki glaze! Not a huge fan of the pasta salad, the menu did not clarify that it was a macaroni style pasta salad and not an oil based. Overall great salmon, would recommend different sides! Third person ordered the Lobster Truffle mac & cheese. Unfortunately this one was a bit underwhelming, a very plain mac and cheese and the lobster was probably the unfavorable part of that dish. The lobster had a very stringy/rubbery texture, probably overcooked a bit, and just lacked flavor/seasoning overall. The final dish ordered was the Swordfish Imperial. Which again was unfortunately another pass. The imperial claimed to feature scallops and jumbo shrimp tossed in a blanc over the swordfish. There was one single scallop and maybe 2 shrimp chopped up, overall just not enough for the price of the dish. Now the Swordfish steak was a hearty portion, but a tad on the overcooked/dry side. Very much had the texture of a welldone chicken as opposed to a more melty/fall apart texture. The flavor in the sauce however was there! An excellent sauce and the sides were very enjoyable. Easily a great take on mashed potatoes and pasta salad! The dessert tried were the keylime pie and carrot cake. Both were very sweet and a great sized portion to share with a group. Overall pretty good! We enjoyed our last night overall! Thanks! read more

Been to this local seafood restaurant a few times and was surprised I haven't reviewed a meal here yet. (TLDR Summary: Popular seafood restaurant with potential wait times, bar and patio seating available. Excellent service with attentive staff and a knowledgeable manager. Delicious homemade desserts and solid main dishes, though prices are high.) This place gets packed so be prepared to wait if you're coming here without a reservation, unless you show up when they open as we did today. There's also seating at the bar or outside patio overlooking the front parking lot. Service here was excellent. Our server Ricardo was very attentive and knew the menu well enough to answer our questions. Brandon the manager introduced himself, delivered our meals and made sure everything was as we expected. Main dishes were the golden corvina, shrimp & scallops and a chicken Caesar salad. All were very solid. Corvina was nicely grilled and very mild. Served with garlic mashed and spaghetti squash, both good. Ended with 2 desserts as we were stuck between the key lime pie and carrot cake. They are both homemade so we had to try both, and glad we did! Key lime pies can sometimes be too tart but this one was very mild with great crunchy crust. Carrot cakes, on the other hand can be too sweet at times but this one was perfect, and a large slice too. I'm glad we got both as they are so different. As a seafood place, it can get pricey so be aware. I think the meal was excellent though so I was happy to pay for this experience. read more

Wonderful restaurant in the Cocoa Beach area. I visited here with my family and in-laws, all elements of the meal and experience were top notch. Low lit environment inside lends itself to the experience and our knowledgeable waiter helped us through the menu and made recommendations for my children (aged 6 and 8) as well. Tasty drinks and the food was well prepared and fresh as well. Highly recommended! read more

Food and service was good. On the ambiance it was really loud. Really hard to even hear the waitress talk much less have a conversation during dinner. Overall good just don't plan to have much of a conversation while eating dinner. read more

This restaraunt has a upscale vibe on the inside with a dim but lively interior. It may be too noisy for some , but you can eat outside where it will be brighter and quieter. The menu structure and offerings is very similar to bonefish grill if you have ever been. The grouper bites appetizer was really good. Grouper lightly breaded and fried with a sauce that has a hint of a kick, it is not beyond mild. For dinner most everyone in my party opted for fish, and you get your choice of sauce... I went with lemon butter caper, and it was a nice creamy addition. The green beans were really good, and I usually am not a fan of those. They snapped, and had the tough ends removed. Service was great despite a busy summer weekend. I recommend this place for a nice dinner or event out. read more

The ambiance was that of nice dining, felt intimate but not the need to be 'fancy'. The food was AMAZING! My husband and I both had the Golden Corvina, I had it with lemon butter and he had it with jalapeño bacon cream sauce. OHHH. EMMM. GEEEE. It was cooked to perfection and both were fantastic and great flavor. Costa was our server, he was knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the food and resturant in general; and rightfully so! As a customer with Celiac, they have a very extensive menu for gluten free patrons. They are extremely knowledgeable and take it serious for any allergen. We are here in Cocoa Beach for 2 more nights, we will definitely be back BOTH NIGHTS!! read more

This restaurant is amazing! Food was delicious! Surf and turf is the way to go. Filets are amazing. Restaurant is decorated very nice and clean. Service is attentive, but the only complaint I have is that after we ordered, it took a long time to get our food. The wait was worth it though! Great place and I highly recommend! read more

One of my favorite meals in the Cocoa Beach area. Don't be detoured by the strip mall location. They have done a great job inside and out to create intimate seating. It didn't look like they took reservations. We showed up around 6pm and were seated immediately inside. It got a bit busier by the end of our meal. I chose the grouper with the belair add on which was goat cheese, sun dried tomatoes, and artichokes. It was recommended by our server and she was absolutely right on. My sides were green beans and spaghetti squash. So good. Our service was excellent. She did a great job helping us through the menu as first time visitors. We ended the meal with the seasonal crème brûlée which was chocolate flavored. Everything was excellent. read more

Very disappointed. Only three types of fish offered - redfish (fresh), salmon (too common), swordfish (worst fish) despite being in fresh seafood heaven area. Redfish was $40 and tiny portion, tiny sides too, cocktails were good but small as well. Chicken breast was almost $30, Steak prices were (market = ridiculous). Left completely underwhelmed and still hungry. $140 tab for two people - only ordered entrees and 1 drink each. No interest in returning. read more

Outdoor seating as well. Happy hour offered (bar area) drinks as well as a few food items. Recommended, enjoyed the experience. Only request, add more beer choices.

Where shall I begin? This spot was recommended by the valet at my nearby resort. To be honest from the name, I didn't have the highest expectations. Once we arrived, I was impressed with the ambience and the option to sit both indoors and outdoors. Our server, Costa was more than attentive, kind, and knowledgeable about the restaurant and the menu. I got the lobster tail dinner, and my friend got the grouper appetizer. We both were overly satisfied with our meals and the quality of the food. We both enjoyed the Maple old-fashioned, which was good, however, would've been better with a large cube of ice. For dessert, we tried the crème brûlée, which is a favorite of mine however, this one exceeded my expectations as it had macadamia nuts inside. I highly recommend this place and wished I lived closer to dine here more often. I plan to come back as often as I can as I do frequent Orlando and will happily make the drive to dine here. Enjoy! read more

The parking was easy, the decor was great, the waitress was amazing, but we did have to wait about 25-30 minutes before we got our order taken or really even acknowledged after being sat down. However, after we got our order in, the service was great. I got the sirloin and it was just average if not a little below average and expectations. The drinks, coconut shrimp, hamburger, salad, and mashed potatoes were good. Considering that we spent close to $200 on 3 entrees, drinks, and one appetizer, I would have expected better quality sirloin. read more

Great find while on business travel. Close to most hotels, and all activities happening there. I sat at the bar solo and felt welcomed, and had no complaints.

While visiting the area before a cruise we found Floridas Fresh grill, our server was pleasant and efficient.

We had a fabulous meal at Florida's Fresh Grill on Christmas Eve. We had a large group and our servers, Brandi and Linda, did an incredible job bringing us everything we requested. We started with the avocado and crab tower, coconut shrimp, and grouper bites. Each one was terrific. We ordered mahi mahi, grouper, sea bass and lobster Mac and Cheese as main dishes. They were great. There was a line when they opened and it remained crowded the whole time that we were there. read more
