Sauces were off the chart delicious. - Ricotta toast: insanely thick and fluffy perfect pieces of bread topped with dollops of whipped ricotta and chili crisp. Crunchy, smooth, and a bit of spice. The appetizer I didn't know I needed in my life. 5 stars - Shrimp cocktail: probably the best I've had. 5 humongous shrimp perfectly cooked and chilled. Served with a Thai peanut satay sauce that was delectable. Didn't envision this combo and it worked so well. 5 stars - Lamp chips: 3 nice pieces my husband and friend enjoyed. 4.5 stars - Miso cod: solid version marinated as expected with 2 pieces plus bok choy. 4.5 stars - Umami fries: large plate of perfectly crispy curly fries with Japanese spices on top. 4 stars - Mozzarella sticks: long rectangles covered in a panko potato mix. Crunchy and gooey. Paired with ranch and guachong sauce. 4 stars - Artichokes: 3 large lightly fried pieces which looked like chicken wings. Could've been sliced into smaller bites. 3.75 stars - Dining room: modern bougie vibe. Long bar across the length of the restaurant with a few higher tables of in back (shaped like elongated guitar picks) and a banquettes. A living wall ceiling and artsy wooden touches. Midlights - Flank steak: large slices with not too much flavor. Most unremarkable item we had. 3 stars - Water service: need bigger glasses or for them to leave a carafe on the tables as they didn't come by to refill often enough. Being in a tropical location, hydration is important. - Drinks: cocktails sounded fancy but were just ok. Even their version of a smoked old fashion was lacking in the smoke reveal. Wine was also just ok - Waiter kept on calling us sir and ma'am making us feel old and bit uncomfortable Lowlights - Out of few things. their sole bakery item dessert in a brownie I was excited about and 2 out of 7 glasses of red wines

Really wanted to give this a five star review but our family of four just didn't get good value for our money. My wife and I split the chicken nachos but they never came out so we had that taken off the bill. Our Two teenage boys ordered burgers. One came with a bag of chips and the other upgraded french fries for + $3. My wife ordered some potstickers which were okay and I added two orders of wings and had them split into 2 flavors each. Didn't realize splitting them would be an up charge. So 4 orders of 5 wings is what we got instead of 2 orders of 10 wings. We were asked if we wanted carrots and celery and we said yes. Only celery came out and we got charged an extra $1 for each of the 4 sides of wings. All together we got two burgers, one with upgraded fries, side of potstickers, 20 bone in wings with waters and that ran us $100. When we first looked at the menu, the prices seemed very reasonable. Based on all the other restaurants in the area that have good reviews, we would not come back until after we tried all places first.

We grabbed seats at the bar, and right out of the gate the experience was mission-ready. The girls behind the bar were awesome, friendly, attentive, and just had that effortless vibe that makes you feel like a regular even if it's your first visit. Now the food... wow. Everything came out fresh, hot, and absolutely dialed in. The burgers were stacked and juicy, the sandwiches loaded, and those sidewinder fries? Forget it. Crispy, golden perfection. You can tell nothing sat under a heat lamp, this was all cooked to order and launched straight to the table. Best way I can describe it given the location... This wasn't just good food, it was a full-on flavor liftoff. Like sitting a few miles from Cape Canaveral and watching a rocket punch through the atmosphere, everything about this meal just took off and didn't look back. Great people, killer food, laid-back atmosphere... this place hits on all cylinders. We'll definitely be back for another launch

Very interesting and overly combative response from the owner of this establishment. (Their…read moreresponse and my original review are below.) Their response suggests that we only waited 35 minutes to get our food and that they make everything from scratch. There must be some underestimation somewhere in your timeline as the food we were served had to have been sitting for at least 10-15 minutes to get as cold as it was when it was served to us. As for us not giving you a chance to make things right, come on. My husband asked to be cashed out for the lemonade he had and that we couldn't eat food served this cold. Your waitress simply told us it was taken care of, to have a nice day, and turned and walked off. When my husband asked again at the front of the restaurant to be cashed out, the young lady at the front told us that if we were going to walk out there's nothing she could do. At no point were we offered to speak with management or to have our food remade. Later on when my husband called we were again given lip service with no attempt to make things right. I get trying to protect your business, but when your customer service is subpar you need to own that. At no point has this establishment offered to make this right. Very disappointed. Big Daddy J's 5 Great Things 3850 N Atlantic Ave, Cocoa Beach, FL 32931 American Lacey Thomas 169 points 4 hours ago We waited almost an hour for our food. It wasn't even busy. When we did receive it it was the brisket sandwich was cold and the frys had been sitting there. Avoid this restaurant unless you want to wait and get cold food. Food 1 Service 1 Atmosphere 1 Response from the owner 2 hours ago Hello Lacey, we're sorry things didn't go right for your visit. We take guest experience very seriously so we made sure to review your visit and take notes for us to improve. At 1:45pm you were greeted and sat. Our server took your drink order @1:46pm and returned with beverages by 1:47pm. The order was taken @1:48pm and entered to our kitchen. At 2:15 our server brought refills and apologized for the food wait at 27 minutes in. The food arrived to the table at 2:23pm. 35 minutes after order. Now, let us say, that's never our standard, it's just not what normally happens. Having a 1200 dollar hour at 2pm is not typical. Thats a big hour for a small place. Our typical food ticket time at that hour is an 8 minute average. We're fast. But sometimes a perfect storm hits and we do the best we can with the hand dealt. We make everything from scratch and make sure to put love in our dishes. Had you not gotten up, and dropped your tray in our food service window and left after being in the restaurant a total of 35 minutes, we would have most certainly made things up to you. We pride ourselves on service. Man, we got buried, we admit it. However, we unbury well. We are definitely not perfect, and we make mistakes, but we're know for what we do after. Unfortunately you did not give us that opportunity. We understand when you're hungry and traveling, you need food in a timely manner. So 35 minutes may seem like an eternity, we feel you. We apologize you ran into our perfect storm. We take all of this very seriously and we will do things to improve, which has already started. We appreciate your feedback and we wish you safe travels.

Over cooked, dry, and just spicy, not true jerk seasoning. Not impressed. The rest of the tables's food presentation was mediocre. I hope this was an anomaly.

Marker 24 is in a residential area and accessible by land, as this restaurant is on a waterfront, and most diners pull up in the little boats. There is indoor and outdoor dining; we saw a few people outdoors but it was chilly when we were there, so we opted for indoor seating. A few stalls for parking across the street, parking stalls divided by little fish painted on the ground, which was a cute touch. Happy hour was spectacular, with buy-one-get-one-free drinks and the food prices were super reasonable to us (coming from Hawaii, where everything is super expensive). My husband ordered a Spicy Mahi Sandwich with Potato Chips (instead of fries, that's how it came) for $20 and I got a roasted mushroom flat-bread pizza for $15.00 and our appetizer was the smoked fish dip for $15.00 which came highly recommended, and we did love it, but when we saw the crackers, we were laughing. We were expecting bread or flatbread, but that's just fine, being a waterfront casual restaurant. Total bill = $70.62 without tip. Everything was delicious, no complaints. Service was attentive and friendly. After dinner we took a stroll out to the back of the restaurant onto the pier and watched the sun go down. If we lived in the area, we would visit frequently!

The breeze made it chilly. Most of my party of 6 was cold. I actually went back to my car to get a sweater! The food was pricey. I got the special. The food was good, but not exceptional. The waitress asked if we wanted dessert. I asked the waitress for some hot coffee, and she said they don't have any coffee. I asked about some hot tea...anything hot. The waitress said they don't have anything hot to drink because it's a restaurant with a dock and the temperature is usually hot. I couldn't wait to leave to go somewhere I could get something hot to drink to warm up before my drive home. I may go back for a lunch on a hot summer day when I have time to make the 30-minute drive.

The camp sauce and coleslaw is a nice touch on the sandwich, it is even better with some tabasco as well for that heat. Our bartender Makenzie was very nice and attentive. She checked on us quite often. The manager was very nice and he came around to make sure we were doing ok and if the food was really good.
