This is a hole in the wall diner. But the fish was excellent. We had cat fish and shrimp. Fried ocra too. It's right on the river and you can take twisted boat tours out of the location. So getting back to the food. Best catfish I've had. Hot, fresh, not a lot of breading. Same with shrimp. Ambience, well nope. It's a diner on a river and it's not modern, not even close. But tables were clean. Bathrooms kind of scary small and flooring was uneven. I think you get the picture. But the 5 is for the food and the prices were great read more

We love the food, especially the patty melt and cheeseburger. When we bring friends they always love it and often try the gator! Love this place. Even with the new prices (changed a few weeks ago) it is worth it. read more

Food was just average fried food. Service was friendly. Very dirty, but it is on the river. I've been to better fish camps.

Surprisingly good food. Not a huge selection. About what you would expect at a fish camp. Burger, chicken, frog legs and, of course, fish! Fresh and seafood. Spectacular view of Old Florida and the St John's River. Lots of locals. Friendly vibe. read more

Really fun air boat rides with beautiful views and above-average fried local favorites. The air boats take you out on a 30 minute ride through lush brush and flora and plentiful wildlife. After, we had lunch. The gator and chicken wings were their two recommendations. I went with the chicken which is thin strips of chicken fried with a bit of breading and doused in buffalo sauce. Kind of boring though. Dry chicken with too much sauce. The slaw was good and the fries were perfectly cooked. But the hush puppies were the real star. Knockout good - almost like fried donut holes. Probably too sweet for some but so yummy. Staff were friendly and helpful. read more

After a fun airboat ride we were all hungry. Luckily there is a restaurant right on the dock. Sest yourself and the friendly servers will take your drink order. Today I ordered the clam chowder and the fish and chips. The chowder was packed full of tasty ingredients and was hot and creamy. The fish and chips were plentiful and very tasty. The hush puppies my brother shared were the best in Brevard hands down. Give em a try! read more

Everything was good except the hush puppies. They were soaked in grease...not edible. Fish was crunchy with great flavor

Great place to hang out and enjoy "old Florida" !!! I've lived down the road for my whole life (46 years), and I've always enjoyed stopping by and getting a bite to eat from time to time! read more

Got the gator basket. Frankly it could've been anything - gator, chicken, ??? - it was so battered and fried, it was indistinguishable. Another of us had a Caesar salad with grilled shrimp and said it was very good, generous helping of shrimp. Bottom line: avoid the fried gator. The key lime pie was very good. And of course it was the ambiance that was good.... right on the St. John's and reminiscences of camping up and down the river when I was a kid. read more

Great food, great for drinks, great location, great atmosphere, my kind of folks, air boat ride was awesome. I would recommend this place to just about anybody great place I rather enjoyed it hope to get back again soon. read more

I just ate here with my family today. My son immediately got sick after drinking his sweet tea. And this was after the waitress warned him, "This is southern sweet tea, it is gonna give you a rush." Rush is an understatement. And this is definitely, a locals only hang out. If you are from out of town, it might not be so customer friendly. We didn't feel so welcomed, with the stares and dirty looks. Needless to say we did not stay to long. read more

Great location lots to choose from awesome appetizers and the staff was well informed & recommended "everything ". A must Go

Food taste good. But service is slow. And food came out slow too. They pay more attention to bar service more

I don't know how reliable my input is because I've been living out of the South and away from good fried food for a very long time, but our dinner at Lone Cabbage really hit the spot and satisfied a lot of nostalgia cravings. I got one of the sampler baskets which included deep-fried catfish, shrimp, and gator and was so. so. happy. Meats tasted fresh, piping hot, and were properly tender with the right ratio of breading to meat. None of that overcooked, toughness here--just quality like I remember family members back home making at get-togethers. My only real complaint was that the hushpuppies were overly sweet (more like a dessert, honestly) and really, really, really oily. The taste wasn't bad by any means, but it wasn't what I was looking for. The night we went, it was pouring rain and we were one of only two couples out on the deck which overlooks the water; thankfully, there was a roof, but it didn't do much for the wind. Despite being chilly and misted by spray the whole time, it was such a pleasant experience--watching the fish leap and the gators poke their heads out of the water and wishing the weather was better so as to take advantage of the airboat tours attached to the place. Overall, it's just a nice, unpretentious place. Lighting was on the dark side. Generations of customers' names carved into the greying wood of the dock, sticky menus, condiments brought out in what looks like a teal plastic shower caddy, and no sense of urgency whatsoever (in a good way). We were probably pretty obviously tourists, but the service was A+ and the prices were very reasonable. read more

We were pleasantly surprised! Pretty good choice on the menu and great prices! Food was slightly above average but it was a really cool place to eat! Would definitely go back. read more

Nice local spot to watch the air boats and gators. Outdoor seating and rustic deck. Lots of locals. Had the gator basket and watch the gators. read more

Lone Cabbage Fish Camp is one of my favorite little gems in Cocoa! I have eaten here with friends and family on several occasions, and everyone has had a great experience. It's an incredibly versatile restaurant with their menu options...you can order everything from fried gator to frog legs to the typical American burger. I love that this restaurant is far enough off of the road to feel private, secluded, and close to nature...it's literally situated next to the St. John's river. When dining you can sit inside, but we have always chosen to sit outside to enjoy views of the river and wildlife (it is typical to see gators trolling past). It is also fun to watch the airboat rides! Speaking of the airboat rides, you can opt to purchase tickets for their airboat rides, which averages about $22 a person (plus a tip for your captain afterwards!) Be prepared to take photos... the scenery is unparalleled and people are surprised at the random wildlife they encounter, such as cows and wild horses along the way! The captain is incredibly informative and does his best to get the passengers as close as he can for those coveted photo opportunities. If airboat rides aren't your thing, they have live entertainment on the weekends...but parking can get pretty intense on Saturdays and Sundays. I cannot recommend it enough... This place is so amazing, I feel compelled to share this "off the beaten path" place to friends and strangers! read more

Good entertainment and drinks but the food has something to be desired. Mostly deep fried food which is fine but it's real greasy.

Had the blackened white fish basket with baked beans and shrimp. All of it was very good. The airboat ride was a lot of fun.

That's the best fish eating place period! Lots of interesting critters on an airboat ride! read more

Enjoyed the catfish, peel and eat shrimp and hushpuppies! Great location! Great fish camp! read more

Took an air boat ride with the family. The captain did a great job of finding the alligators that were hiding in the grasses since it was windy and cold outside. We ended or visit with some alligator bites at the restaurant. A very fun outing. read more

I have driven past lone cabbage if you times and decided to stop in one Saturday afternoon. The restaurants it's right on the St. Johns River you can either dying inside or dine outside. Inside of the restaurant they have many alligator heads scattered throughout the restaurant. I don't know if they are for sale or not but they seemed to be. You can also book an airboat ride inside of the restaurant. On this day we decided to dine on the river. They did have someone playing live music while we were there. He was not the best but he was not the worst. He definitely added some entertainment while you're waiting on your food. The food was decently priced and was honestly not bad at all. We came here not expected I have a five course meal but honestly it's one of the better burgers I have had in a very long time. We will definitely come back it is something very different something you cannot have inside the city limits. read more

Been here many times, NEVER have we had such a rude, ignorant waitress. She's screwed up 2 different orders, then gave an attitude about us asking for the correct order. Absolutely will never step food in there again. Pretty sad, as that is where we spend every family members Birthday. They've lost very good customers! read more

I love going to Lone Cabbage! The food is always so good. If you're going to go, unfortunately sometimes there are smokers outside. Yet it's good to enjoy the Florida scenery and look at some gators. It's also up to you to go to on Sat/Sun, the band is OK. But overall, good workers, food, and over all 8/10. (Personally I do feel bad for the effort the workers put in to having to hear "that" band.) read more

We are from out of town and this place was on our list of things to do / see and eat at. Drove all the way out there this Monday May 2nd. We were there around 4:30 ish and the place was closed. NO INDICATION on websit that they would be closed read more

This was a really nice place to go to , enjoyed what we ate it was enough to eat the clam chowder was the bomb best I've had in a very long time. Would recommend this place to anyone. read more

Fish and shrimp were really good, hush puppies tasted like they were sitting in old fryer oil all day. Will give them a second try hoping for the best. read more

Great little gem on 520 right on the St. John River. You can tell the place is very old and has bee there a while. They serve all sorts of fish and seafood options I noticed a cheese stuffed fried shrimp I wanted to try, but ordered their fried alligator since I have been craving some good gator for a while. The gator was seasoned and cooked perfectly. I wish they had more options for dipping sauces though. Some type of Cajun butter or sauce would really complement that gator well, along with many of their other various dishes. Very reasonable in price. And they have an excellent airboat tour on premises as well for when you get your fill. Check this place out. read more

The waitress Sophie was rude and was un acquainted with the menu....She stomped off from the table while uttering curse words under her breath! The manager Denise was clueless as to why the restaurant was EMPTY! Not a soul in the place and was treated with apathty and disrespect...guess they don't need the business! Wanted shrimp , but all they have is a "hot plate" according to manager Denise and couldn't make a steamed version of peel and ear shrimp ...Everything fried in a fryer and NOTHING FRESH! Even the gator and frog legs are shipped in frozen! Don't waste your time ! NO STARS! read more

Stopped here last night as I drove through Cocoa Beach, had a craving for fried gator and I was with a friend who had never had gator. When I called to ask if they were open (y'all know, the corona) the woman was very nice and said they were so we drove right over. Atmosphere outside was so lively! We sat and a waitress came over right away to ask us for our drink order and then brought menus. We ordered fried gator, fried catfish, and frog legs. The gator and catfish were entrees and came with hush puppies, fries and coleslaw. The food came out fairly quickly. We inhaled it. Everything was delicious. Absolutely delicious. The frog legs were so juicy. The gator and catfish soooo full of flavor. Hush puppies were dangerously good. They were kind of sweet, almost like donuts. I inhaled them. Cold drinks, food delicious, service good, and everything was reasonably priced. We'll be back here. What a little gem of a spot! Thank y'all so much! read more

Good ole spot for fried...well, anything! Must try the gator tale. This is Troy Lambert meets Cocoa FL. They bring Swamp People to the table. Get an airboat ride and enjoy the St. John's Waterway then have some beers and some of that gator you just saw on your ride! read more

Good food and service very reasonable prices also good view of river good place for lunch

HORRIBLE PLACE! The air smells of sewage, drink prices are high ($15.00 for 2 simple drinks!), wait staff ignore you and when they finally acknowledge you they act like they are doing YOU a favor.... Music was loud to the point of pain. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone.... read more
