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

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

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

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

Great food, Exceptional service, cool ambiance. Prices were a little high. Many dishes use market price.

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

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

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

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

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

Service: accommodating & welcoming. Bartender explained the menu. Gave recommendations. Turned on the football game. Attentive as well. Went above & beyond. Seemed to thoroughly enjoy his job. Food: delicious & fresh. Nice portions. Grouper bites were breaded lightly & cooked well. Crab was filling & plentiful. Ambiance: comfy, soft bar seating. Nice relaxing lighting. 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. Oh & there is a dress code. read more

We went to dinner tonight at Floridas Fresh Grill in Coco Beach. We were underwhelmed that it was a strip mall restaurant, and my expectations were not high. Dang was I wrong! Go here! From the staff greeting you at the doors to the impeccable service and the fantastic food, I couldn't have been happier! Our waiter Chris was great! read more

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

Wowwww we know where we are eating fish from now on. What a great experience! JP gave us amazing service and we could not stop eating. We were all eating off each others plates and went straight into fabulous desserts. Left absolutely satisfied and happy! read more

Great food and service. Quality and fair prices. Sit in the bar. Even the beef my wife ordered was excellent

Food and service is always exceptional. I observed various staff going in and out while I was on the patio. They each went above and beyond, picking up napkins dropped, fixing up things that don't look top notch, opening doors for customers, and helping one another out. I had the pleasure of being served by Devin. She was exceptional, friendly, professional, attentive, stayed on top of drinks, remembered everything, and even boxed my left overs. She even gave me the tip to try a bite of my carrot cake wi the coffee in the morning. I can't wait! Random tip, we use leftover fish with eggs in the morning and it's spamming the second day! This is a judgement free zone. Also for anyone else unsure of trying it, don't wait, and you'll be happy you finally did it. Dont miss out grouper bites and corvina or tile fish. read more

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

For fresh seafood, this is the place! Excellent seafood! They have GF options as a well, if you have GF dietary needs. We ordered calamari, bread, lobster bisque, and the Corvina (fish) dish. Everything was excellent. The service was great, fast and friendly. Ambiance is a bit noisy, if you are looking for a quiet dinner spot. However, that didn't bother us cause we were there for the food. It did not disappoint. Highly recommend!!! read more

Florida's Fresh Grill - Corvina dish with Oscar option, mashed potatoes and seasonal veggies. I took a bite before I took a pic. Great dish! - Seafood Near Me - Cocoa Beach, Florida

Bland food, small Portions, Over Priced. Yes I come from a city with lots and lots of 5 star restaurants and prices are also up there as well, So I was very disappointed when Small portions were served and I mean small shrimps as well as bland food. We spent about $200+ on four adults. Everyone said their dish was mediocre and bland. Very disappointed, I will definitely not be going back at those prices, portions and Blandness. I'm a seafood lover and have been for many years. Yes if you made it to my review page it's because your over priced, small portions, and mediocre blad food. If your not on my review it's because it was great. My reviews are to warn others. If your place didn't make it to my reviews, usually means you have great food, Think of it like a naughty list and here you are. read more

Walk-ins for appetizers & drinks. Crab tower was Excellent. Coconut Shrimp - the sauce was amazingly delicious; the huge shrimp w/tasty coconut crunchy coating sadly overcooked, not terribly but noticeably. Battered shrimp is So easily overcooked in order to get the coating browned enough. Disappointing to spend this much for imperfection. Next time we'll try entrees. Picked this restaurant for first night dinner upon arrival after a long drive, due to recommendation & proximity to grocery shopping. Very lively atmosphere (ie Loud!). Very popular place, long waits. Fortunately there was an open hightop for 2 in bar area. Would recommend for special occasion. Make reservation if it allowed. read more

Surprised by how fresh the seafood was at Floridas Fresh Grill, Ordered swordfish and mahi mahi, both typically tougher and dryer than most fish, but not here. Swordfish had a nice bite, but very juicy. Mahi mahi was a bit softer but also very juicy. Only downside was the side of rice...... PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE GET A RICE COOKER, not sure how rice is cooked but crunchy and soggy rice at the same time is not acceptable. read more

Great establishment with indoor and outdoor seating . Very cool vibe. We started our evening with a grapefruit martini and a glass of Pinot Grigio and the Crab tower! They have taken ceviche off the menu and our waitress Chelsea suggested the Crab Tower! It was amazing. Pricey but worth it. Next we are having shrimp and scallops one of my favorite dishes. I had the potatoes and the squash with maple drizzle as my sides and I was so pleased with the choices! My husband ordered imperial swordfish from the specials board with the same sides. He's a former food manager and said it's the best swordfish he's ever had! We both left stuffed and feeling complete. Definitely will visit again! read more

Ambience was really nice for having a great conversation and eating good food and sharing some good stories.

Great place if you're looking for an elevated date night. We came in on a Monday evening and we were lucky enough to snag two seats at the bar. Our bartenders were very attentive and friendly and being how we were from out of town and it was our first time there, they walked us through the menu and recommended their most popular dishes. Do not skip the grouper bites!!! Probably the best appetizer I've had in a long time from anywhere! My boyfriend had the surf and turf for his main dish and I had the corvina, a recommended dish from the bartenders with the chef's side. We thoroughly enjoyed them both. The food was fresh and prepared perfectly. read more

To set this in the right frame of mind we drove over from the other coast. Asked the hotel office where can we get a steak,and we were pointed here. First, I would like to say the food was delicious. Our waitress was amazing "Rachel." we were not that hungry to eat a full meal so we ate off the appetizer menu. Just as amazing as the service and the taste of the food. So Was the price. Found it to be very expensive. When we walked in the front door from outside to inside, it had a very strong odor of Fish. After we sat down for a while either we got used to it or the smell went away. If price is no option this is your place it's expensive . Like I say the food was delicious Rachel our waitress was very attentive to our needs and very nice. read more
