We found Longboards through ChatGPT while looking for a place to grab a bite in Cocoa Beach. The outdoor atmosphere was definitely one of the highlights. It's a relaxed, beachy setting within walking distance of the ocean, making it a great spot for families or anyone wanting to enjoy the Florida weather. The service was great from start to finish. The food itself was just okay, but what really stood out was how the staff handled an issue with one of our orders. The manager personally came over to our table, listened to our concerns, and made sure everything was corrected. They even adjusted our bill, which we really appreciated. To me, how a restaurant handles a problem says a lot about its customer service. Another nice touch is that they provide sand toys for the kids, which is especially thoughtful for families traveling with little ones. Overall, I would come back for the atmosphere and hospitality. While the food didn't necessarily blow us away, the staff made us feel welcome and genuinely cared about our experience. It's a convenient place to stop before or after spending time at the beach, especially if you're visiting Cocoa Beach with kids. read more

Nice spot near the beach, which has a great ambiance, tiki vibe and table service. The food is legit, although I like the Melbourne Beach location a bit more. Everything I tried was tasty read more

Delicious food and fantastic service! Then you can walk straight onto the beach after your meal!

Beachy, boozy, and beautiful! The service was great, even at the little tiki stand near the ocean! I had a Bahama momma drink and it tasted quite refreshing on a hot Florida day. If you're walking up from the beach, make sure you put your flip flops on because the sand gets pretty hot! Good thing there's cold drinks to cool you down! read more

Longboards Tiki Beach Grille - Good nachos - Seafood Near Me - Cocoa Beach, Florida

Excellent MaiTai. Michael was a great bartender. The bar snacks were very good, but I wouldn't eat lunch or dinner here. The plates around me didn't look like they were worth the calories . Tiki bars are a dime a dozen in Florida. Most, frankly, should be cursed by the tiki gods and wiped away by Moni-Moni, the volcano goddess angered by greed and poor hospitality. Longboards is the rare exception to the rule. It's a big place, serving both a hotel beach and the public. Some of the tiki intimacy is lost by the big cattle-call menus slapped into the tiki ceiling area. Paradise also lacks a bazillion sports TVs. Outdoors, it's cooler than outside, but not by much. Summer can be hot. Longboards is an impression of the beach lifestyle. Not an actual one. As Joe Isuzu, the deceptive car salesman parody guy would say: Panu mele keke bobo... read more

Longboards Tiki Beach Grille - Seafood Near Me - Cocoa Beach, Florida

Longboards is located at Hilton Cocoa Beach Hotel. We happened to be staying at the hotel. It is well themed with a tropical feel. There are plenty of tables. You can even eat at their smaller bar area near the entrance to the beach. This particular restaurant does not have a view. On weekends there is live music which was fun. The menu is short and sweet. Considering it is inside a hotel, I thought their prices were very reasonable. Most items were served on a metal tray, and the portions were big. My friend and I shared the nachos. I liked it but would've liked more salsa and crema. Some of the chips were hard. I got the Mahi Mahi tacos. I enjoyed the taco except it was just one piece in the middle. I would've liked a bigger piece of fish. The kettle chips were excellent. My friend got the crab cake sandwich and she enjoyed it. It was thick and crispy. Overall, we were very happy with what we got. read more

This is the Hiltons outdoor restaurant & it's a very big tiki with plenty of bar seating & a lot of table seating. We had 2 amazing frozen drinks, I had a chicken Caesar salad & hub had a turkey club, both were very good! The tiki grille has an entrance that goes out right to Cocoa Beach. We will be back for sure! read more

Always amazing! Had to come back a year later for more peel and eat shrimp :) The Blackened Mahi Mahi Tacos were also phenomenal. Although, I do believe they could have used maybe just a little more spice. read more

The food was good, just a little pricey but it's a hotel. However it's a cute tiki place outside with beach access

I arrived 4 min before the kitchen closed. They were super friendly and took my order. I got the bananas foster frozn drink based on a Yelp review. It did not disappoint. I ordered the coconut shrimp app and a mahi mahi sandwich with a side Caesar salad fit my main. The fish was dry. The salad was ok but not cold. The coconut shrimp was good! Crunchy! Loved the vibe here. The crowd is friendly. Met co-workers here a few times. Staff is super friendly. They let me (and a co-worker) work on my computer during the day even though I was only drinking water. read more

I thought the food here was so delicious! It's on the pricey side but given - it's a hotel restaurant and I do feel like the quality reflects it. I tried the coconut shrimp appetizer ($11), poke bowl ($19), and Emerald Salad with Mahi Mahi added ($12 + $10). Everything was flavorful, fresh, and beautifully packaged. The location and ambience are relaxing and beautiful. The staff is also absolutely amazing :) I'm not sure who works at the bar but he is so funny and friendly. read more

Husband and I came here just after 9 pm after a late check-in at the Hilton. It is also open to the public with an entrance to the side where you can bypass the front desk and just go directly to the outdoor seating. Food service ends at 10 pm on Friday's and Saturday's and drink service ends at midnight. We had relatively fast service-ordered the soft Bavarian pretzel and the chicken wings which come in 8-we got the hot and honey which were tasty! The beach breeze was soothing and it was the perfect beginning of our vacation. read more

We were guests at this hotel for three days. Longboards was our go to restaurant and oh so convenient! We went the first day, as we were tired from our Universal Studios visit. We loved it! Great service and fresh tasting food! Our waitress that afternoon was the bomb! Confident, attentive, fast and caring! We tried some other places in town, but this became our favorite. Even if you're not a hotel guest, this is a refreshing place to dine, good food and great atmosphere. Beware we j the weekend they have DJ's, or live music. It can be loud. read more

It's a cool looking place. Didn't eat there but we had some drinks there while on vacation.

Amazing mudslide frozen drinks. No chocolate chip cookies in hotel lobby. Good tiki bar.

LIGHTING SHOW!! We are on our vacation... we wanted something good dinner on deck or outside to see beach view. We found this on uhh google, I think. We drove there from beach. Waitress got us a table. Dark clouds creepy over & we realized that gonna be thunderstorm. COOL!! We always wanted to have a dinner during thunderstorm. We DO. Haha. *BOOM* thunderstorm begun. Waitress actually came to us, asking us to make sure we are ok & checkin' on us. Thats real. We were ready order. We asked about foods & she explain whats on & it. WOW. She's mad awesome. She knows foods! We truly appreciated it. We ordered. We got our drinks. *BOOM* lighting show on! We saw many lightning striking outside. RAD COOL. We ENJOY watching. Foods arrived & guess what? We eat, watch lighting show & laughing. WE ENJOYED. Foods are mad good! The way how our waitress described is perfectly! What we saw prices on menu isnt bad. Affordable for family of 5. *BOOM* we stayed & watching lighting show outside. Waitress came to us & let us know that monitors are crashed down that cant give us receipt because of lighting strike. We was like ahh ok & still staying to watch lighting show outside. TVs back on. Lights back on. We got receipt from waitress. Paid & gave fat tip. We enjoyed a lot. I wish I know her name but seriously, that place is rad cool. Easy access to beach & hotel. Y'all gotta give a shot! Y'all will love it & thank me later :) read more

This was an easy stop as we were looking for a waterfront restaurant as our first dinner at the beach. Longboards gave us just what we needed, which included yummy peel and eat shrimp that were seasoned perfectly and the cocktail sauce was fantastic! The kids appreciated being able to walk down to the beach to look for seashells, while dinner was being ordered. There is a foot rents at the top of the boardwalk, which was helpful. The ambience was nice as it sits adjacent to a Hilton. The patio was large and airy with fans, and the large bar had everything we needed for beach drinks, and the kids virgin daiquiris. Service was fantastic but my only complaint was the happy hour music. We got there while regular music was playing over the speaker and it was just fine. As the live music started to set up, he was cranking heavier alternative music, really loud through a speaker and right at the patio about 10 feet away. Luckily, we were getting our check and only had to endure this for a few minutes but my suggestion is that they ask the musicians to recognize their demographic, and to turn down the volume so we can have some dinner conversation. Other than that, Longboards was nice, and we would go back. read more

Food was great. Drinks were cold and atmosphere was fun. Live music was on the way but we had to leave before they got started. ‍‍‍

A perfect place to stop in after the beach! Comfy bar area, great views, great vibes. This is a Hilton Hotel bar so you expect it to be somewhat on the expensive side and it is. We had nachos and 3 beers and it was $35. Service was great and friendly. Even on a cooler Friday night they had live music on the patio (we left before band started). I would come back. read more

We visited for a couple drinks with another couple. It was cooling off towards the evening and they had patio heaters available. There was an older male employee who put all the heaters surrounding the small outdoor seating area for eating even though no one was sitting there. The bartender Kaya attempted to move the heaters near the bar area which was packed with patrons and she got scolded harsh enough to make her cry. She was just attempting to keep the current customers comfortable which made logical sense. Not a way to treat a great bartender working her butt off and making a smart decision. Felt bad for her and it made no sense what so ever as the whole time we sat there at the bar having drinks oniy 4 people came to eat at the tables and the bar probably had 50 people at it, which most ended up leaving due to being cold. read more

If you're staying at the Hilton hotel and looking for a place to have lunch outside on the patio, this is a decent pick. The lunch prices are fairly standard ($12-15 for an entree), and they have a good happy hour with about 5-6 discounted appetizers, including coconut shrimp, nachos, hummus & pita, and drink specials from 4-7 pm. There are better restaurants elsewhere, but if you're looking for convenience or a decent happy hour, this will do the trick. The service can be a bit slow here so if you're in a hurry, so just be warned if you are impatient or dining with a toddler/kids. Especially during happy hour where they are slammed and the ratio of servers to patrons is not very high. I had a blackened mahi mahi sandwich ($13) for lunch and thought it was just okay - I've had better sandwiches elsewhere. It had a piece of lettuce, tomato, and red onion, and chipotle mayo, and it comes with chips unless you want to pay $2 to upgrade to the salad, fries, or fruit cup. The size of the sandwich wasn't particularly big either and I was a bit hungry after. The one saving grace was my son loved his piece of grilled mahi mahi (with dairy and egg allergies, everything off the kids menu was off-limits for him). They didn't upcharge me an arm and a leg for a piece of fish for him, unlike some other restaurants I've been to with him. The coconut shrimp for happy hour was a good deal, and I really enjoyed this and would definitely come back for happy hour almost every day if I stayed at this hotel again. And it's a plus the seating is outside so you can enjoy the nice breeze and ocean from the patio. read more

We were starving after a day outside without breakfast or lunch, so we decided to eat here at the hotel's outdoor restaurant (we tried several restaurants nearby last night before finally finding one open that we could get into without a reservation--Cafe Playa which is Cuban). We sat ourselves at the only open table; it still needed to be wiped off. Our server was good to get our drink hen dinner orders quickly. The food was great: cheeseburger, French dip sandwich, cheesy fries with bacon, sour cream and chipotle mayonnaise, then chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream. Oh, and Cokes and coconut coladas. They dropped the sides of the tiki hut to protect a little from the cold wind. A live musician played the guitar and sang which was much better than the loud rock music they were playing. read more

I'm just back from a 4 night stay at Hilton Cocoa Beach Oceanfront. Longboards Tiki Bar & Grill is one of their on site dining choices. I can't say enough good things about this restaurant. The staff are exceptionally friendly, kind, and accommodating. Both Casey and Michael were stand out servers during my stay. On the last night there, our group of 20 all ate together and Michael not only gave us excellent service with a smile, but went above and beyond in helping us pull off a surprise birthday dessert for one of the people in our group. I can't say enough good things about the stay and the exceptional service from the whole staff. read more

We returned here since our last visit four years ago, and had another good experience, which exceeds expectations for a hotel restaurant. It's a comfortable vibe kicking back with rum drinks and lunch on the patio. I welcomed the kale salad with chicken added after eating many days of fried food. The female server was friendly, attentive, and competent. This Hilton is our favorite hotel we've never stayed at! We like the proximity to the beach as well. read more

Searched for fast but nice meal in A/C to sit down, was craving fish and chips. Yelp search caught my attention. The ambiance was nice, welcoming and fun! Greeted by quickly a s friendly staff. We were sat right away and Server was quick to tend to us. She knew the menu well plus drink specials. I Did get my fish, grilled Cajun style, fries and bbq beans! My family's ordered shrimp meal and chicken pasta meal. They loved theirs. We had a nice pina coladas and my mom ordered something fruity Mixed drink, sorry don't remember name, but she loved it. Overall I would go back, the food was fresh, hot, seasoned well and we cooled off with great drinks and great atmosphere! Go check it out, you won't be disappointed!! read more
