The bartender/waitress Emily was super friendly, and welcoming. The food here is consistently awesome, every single visit. And seriously, you cannot leave without getting the gator bites. They're crispy, flavorful, and easily the star of the menu. Shark Pit has that perfect mix of great service, great energy, and food that hits every time. One of the best spots in Cocoa Beach for a laid‑back meal that still feels like a treat. read more

I arrived for a pickup order after waiting approximately 30mins. After our arrival, they took another 30 minutes to give us and order of Two coke fountain drinks & a Veggie pizza. They then asked for payment after we asked to see our order (everyone knows when you have a pickup ordered, the company is usually proud they show you the pizza then close the box.) they refused & continued to demand payment first. The drinks were so watered down. Old. And the pizza was really cold, soggy, not crunchy, had spinach & peperoncini thrown on the pizza that did not look appeasing. Spinach especially was on not placed on the pizza properly. With that being said, I was trying to wait for a refund, after waiting another 20mins, I walked to the server as he was video calling someone trying to accomplish the refund. Then the server explained there was no one there working that knows how to do a refund. They wanted me to wait for the general manager to arrive. So now one and a half to two hours waiting for horribly cold soggy not crunchy pizza and watered down drinks that were a waste of time. Customer service was not normal especially without management working on property to resolve issues. read more

This is a restaurant inside, or right next to a hotel and a store (same building). We saw the sign walking by and decided to give it a try. We walked up to the doors and they were locked. But we could see lights inside. We wound up going into the store and finally figured out how to get into the restaurant. Putting directions on the outside door would certainly help. If not hungry and tired we would have just gone somewhere else. So we're inside and the sign says Wait to be seated. So we waited. And waited. And waited. Finally the bartender said someone would be with us soon. He finally came around to seat us and did apologize for the wait. Seems they are short staffed. Our table ordered a cheese burger and a grilled ham and cheese sandwich. Both came with fries. The burger and sandwich were both good, but the fries were excellent! If you're in a hurry, I wouldn't suggest this place. But if you're near by and have time, it's not too bad. read more

The highlight of my time here was the Bahama mama. It's probably one of the better ones I had. Unfortunately the rest of my experience wasn't all that amazing. There was a newer bartender who made the experience a bit better, which is why I'm giving more than one star. The other bartender that was a female didn't really give us the time of day until we moved. When we arrived there was a sign that said go to bartender or a server. So we sat a table. After several minutes the table next to us got their food and we were never acknowledged, not even looked at. We then moved to the bar where we weren't given a menu. I grabbed the menu closest to us and then was told that wasn't the right menu. Which we were then given the right menu. I'm a boom boom shrimp connoisseur and I already had my suspicion that theirs wasn't going to be great. When I was given my shrimp I was very disappointed. They just drizzled a little bit of the sauce on top. The shrimp is supposed to be tossed with the sauce. The audacity to serve that as boom boom shrimp, was crazy. The tank inside was also empty with a picture of fish inside, so that was a let down. The restaurant is basically inside the gift shop since it's shared with the hotel. It was an okay vibe. I would probably come here again for drinks but not really for anything else read more

A nice and quiet place at the hotel for out of town guests and meetings without noises for meetings Good menus. Good food and service read more

I'm giving this place 3 stars for convenience.. our server was ok but I had to hunt her down for silverware.. we asked for a table for 2 but a few friends found us eating and came to sit with us.... We were never offered a larger table even though there were plenty of seats and not crowded.. we ordered the Wally pizza, which ended up being very large!! I wasn't a fan of how thick the sauce is on the pizza causing the amazing pizza dough to get very soft in the middle. I also ordered a garden salad..... sigh disappointing because it was supposed to Romain lettuce, carrots, croutons, onions, and tomatoes.. I removed the tomatoes but I actually got an iceberg lettuce and a scoop of chopped onions not in a bowl but in a serving dish... Food is a a solid 2... service 1... convenience 5 read more

Philly cheesesteak was great, waffle fries crunchy and delicious. Bartender super friendly and knowledgeable.

Food was very good and serving size was excellent!!! Teresa was very courteous and helpful. I really enjoyed the experience!!! Large TVs allowed me to watch football games that I was interested in. read more

Had breakfast and here. Breakfast was ok but slow, dinner was subpar. Only positive was it is in the hotel.

Chris' Grilled cheese and ham is excellent! Good fried pickles.... Ask for Rachel the bartender. (Kidding Shannon)

nice quiet atmosphere yet fun at the same time Shannon was our waitress she was warm friendly and it's nice to be waited on by someone who loves their job we will be back read more

food was delicious and Shannon was a great waitress. close to several hotels within walking distance read more

If I could rate the server only, the review would be a 5/5. The restaurant is severely short staffed, but within our three day stay we were served by Richard twice. He seemed a little overwhelmed but didn't let it affect the quality of our service. He was quick to check if we needed anything and if our food came out alright. The first night, the portions were too small for what they cost & we had to wait a long wait for drinks & our orders. Both times Richard served us, there was still a small wait but we hardly noticed since he was talkative and friendly while we waited. Lastly, this is our third stay at Four Points Cocoa Beach & we miss the shark tank!!! The shark tank was our favorite part and made the experience that much better!! Hoping that the short staffing issue gets resolved so that our next visit can be rated all 5! read more

Avoid for breakfast. Super mediocre food and atmosphere. Pancakes. Ok. Breakfast tacos. Meh for the price. Asked for sour cream and they said it was spoiled. Omelette was alright but not for the money. Don't waste your time here. Go across street to IHOP or down the street to Waffle House. Bummed because it was one of the reasons we chose to stay at Four Points was in house restaurant. Waitress was friendly and prompt, forgot our side of bacon because they were going through all the spoilt sour cream containers. Another reason we booked here and were excited about the restaurant proximity was the Aquarium . They don't have one. It's an empty tank with fish posters on it. Pretty basic atmosphere. read more

We stopped in for breakfast and sat at the bar , couple morning cocktails , for breakfast we had steak and egg sandwich and bacon egg English muffin and the potatoes served with them , food was so good , nice atmosphere for beach, and both days of service was amazing read more

Second review if this place was hoping after three years this place would if improved. It's actually worse. Context first...It's Xmas night dinner time. We get seated but told they might not get to us for 30 mins since they are short staffed. We can be patient so we say I'm we will wait. Good news the server gets to us quickly we get drinks and she takes our order. First we are told there is no pizza. The table who is seated after us order pizza and we watch them out it in the oven. Second we watch as the the different employees walk around but don't do anything! They are not short staffed just have lots of employees with no direction! We ended up going to Waffle House and had a great meal and served up quickly! Do not go here! Ever! read more

We waited about 45 min for two dishes and when those dishes came out the other two people in our party had to wait 15 more minutes for their food. But on top of ALL of that there is no longer any sharks here. The tank is removed. So the ambiance is just being in a hotel near a Ron Jons.... read more

Shannon was our server and she was fantastic, she made the experience memorable. The location is great for folks staying at the four points hotel. The burgers were good and the beer was cold. read more

Maybe we got lucky with our server and food selection but had amazing service and the food was good. We came at 11am so there was only one other family. Our server was very attentive, we didn't have to wait at all. We had the shrimp/avocado salad, nachos, and 2 kids meals (burger and chicken tenders). Kids were happy and I was pleasantly surprised. Very convenient for hotel guests read more

I can't tell you how great an experience we had today...our server Shannon was the main reason...she made us feel like family! And...the food was great! Highly recommend! read more

Came for early dinner, ordered coffee...no coffee. Ordered Dr. Pepper...not working. Ordered tater tots with my sandwich.... Yep, you guessed it. No tots. Ordered appetizers, banging shrimp and fried pickles. Average although they did come out hot and fresh. Standard GFS food truck items. Our dirty dishes were stacked on the table next to us and left there. Our sandwiches, french dip, and a couple of cheese steak sandwiches came out hot but again, just average. Had to have the bill adjusted after I spotted a sign that mentioned happy hour 1/2 price apps. (oops) The table busser came to the table and hovered there setting his dirty dish pan on the table next to us, before we had vacated our table and I certainly didn't appreciate that the young man's under panties were hanging out of his pants. He certainly could have used a good belt. (See photo) Other employees were observed scratching their heads and playing on their phones and handling food afterwards. Will not return read more

Touristy but good space and I LOVED the aquarium. It left me wanting to head to the beach w my scuba gear. I had the pizza. It was tasty. The menu is broad with lots of choices. It is centrally located next door to Ron Jon Surf Shop. I'd go back for the aquarium alone but wouldn't drive across town for it necessarily. read more

After trying to find a place to eat in the area with little success we ended up here. It's located inside the Four Points. They have a pretty cool aquarium inside and other shops. When we approached the hostess stand, the woman working didn't look pleased to be there. She did get us seated pretty quickly. While reviewing the menu and looking around, it seems this place isn't sure what it wants to be. Is it a bar with some quick eats? Is it restaurant that serves drinks? Pizza place? Seafood place? I'm still not sure. Our waitress, Savannah, was friendly enough. When it came time to order I requested a Cajun mahi sandwich. I didn't care for the offered sides and asked if I could get macaroni and cheese instead since I saw they serve it on top of one of their burgers. She said they could not. I found that slightly annoying since I would have been fine with an upcharge to order it. My boyfriend ordered a white pizza. She came back and said they were out of Alfredo so he got a regular pizza instead. The food came after a pretty long wait. The mahi sandwich was just not very good. The fish was cooked well, but there was no seasoning to be found. The bun was much larger than the fish so many bites were just bread. I finally ditched the bun and just ate the fish. The tater tots I chose as a side tasted like old oil. My boyfriend's pizza was actually pretty decent. They make their pizzas in-house; I enjoyed watching the cook spinning the dough. Maybe they should focus on that since it seems to be their strength. Overall, I would not return. read more

We went here because of the pictures on other reviews of the aquarium in the restaurant. The aquarium is empty and has a sticker of a fake scene in it. While our waitress tried her best, it was not her fault that she was one of the only waitresses and had tables on both ends of the restaurant. However our food was not up to par. The kid's chicken tenders and fries were over cooked and hard to eat, the chicken tacos were dry, and the coconut shrimp and fried were severely undercooked. read more

Love the aquarium this restaurant has. The fish and eels are beautiful and the sharks are really cool. We had breakfast and of course my husband went with the breakfast burrito. He loved it! Hit and delicious plus it was big. And the Bloody Mary - he loves it here. I had the pancakes. Glad I only ordered one. It was "flat not fluffy". Not my favorite. So glad my husband shared the potatoes. So good. read more

Food was okay but it was convenience so I can't complain. The main attraction is the shark tank. On Saturdays around noon they feed the sharks, so grab yourself a spot (and maybe a drink) around that time! read more

We stopped in around 5:30 during happy hour. Mona explained the raspberry gin cocktail and understood my desire to go light on the alcohol. It was the best cocktail I have ever had. My husband's IPA was very good. We got the pretzel and the chicken skillet nachos. The pretzel was good; the nachos were great. We also got a beef street taco and a barria taco. They came with warm nacho chips, sour cream, and salsa. The food was great, the service was great, and the bill was really reasonable. read more

my husband and I were in the area visiting from Tampa. Our server was okay... The food was rather mediocre. My margarita taste as if it were some type of daiquiri mix. No bueno....I sent it back. The the atmosphere is very nice. The way they connected the hotel to the restaurant and the subsequent store. The aquarium was beautiful. But I am not certain if I would return as the menu is very limited and the food wasn't that great. But, it was worth a shot. You never know until you try. read more

Absolutely crap food. I agree with the other reviews saying that the place has potential but the people who work here straight up don't care about this place at all. The food was very mid, the tacos tasted just like the ones from Taco Bell and my brother would have made the same thing at home much better. The shells of the tacos were also extremely brittle for some reason and as soon as you pick it up, the whole thing falls apart immediately. They also didn't have 2 menu items at the restaurant because of "high demand during peak season" but honestly they just don't know what they're doing. Again, absolutely crap food and my parents weren't happy about paying $60 for this. The tip? None. Get better staff, and source your ingredients better. read more

Absolutely love this place in Four Points! The service was amazing across multiple days, the food was always great and the service was beyond my expectations!! Nick at the bar was a fantastic waiter and had the best attitude and should be acknowledged for his great professionalism!! read more

Terrible terrible service on a weekend evening we tried to come in for dinner and ended up having to walk in the rain to another location, which I would gladly do over again for the sheer disrespect having to stand at the hostess stand for 10 minutes as wait staff blatantly disregard us standing there. Eventually I ended up just seating myself and my family despite their lack of service. Once I noticed so many other people looking around for their service I knew we needed to just leave. The only reason I gave two stars is because we came back for breakfast since we were staying at the hotel and and it was ok service and food was good. But I would never visit this establishment willingly in the future. read more

I enjoyed the Gator bites and Shrimp tacos! Great location by Starbucks! Our server was very polite and extremely helpful. Definitely will be back next time that I vacation here! read more

Please take my recommendation and stay away. Went for breakfast. Very rude waitress. Asked about the aquarium and she was very snippy. Gave my grandchildren kids menus. Ordered pancakes and bacon for my 7 year old granddaughter. Pancakes came out without the bacon so I nicely asked for her bacon. Waitress told me that the adult pancakes does not come with bacon. Why would you put in an order for adult pancakes after you gave us kids menus and I pointed at the kids menu and said she'll have the pancakes and bacon. Same issues with my grandsons order. Manager came out and said he was going to remove the charge for the pancakes. Well thanks for removing a charge for something we did not order. We tried to explain to him the issues that we had and he just turned and walked away. I would give this place negative stars if I could. read more

Ok so we were in the hotel and we were hungry so we went to Shark pit and it was Horrible. We sat down and got our drinks. When we ordered the family next to us who got their like 30 minutes after us and who had more people got their food first and one kid orders pizza and over 20 minutes earlier they said they had no cheese and pizza has cheese so they found cheese the service was horrible. The only good thing was the Ambiance it was cool. Don't ever go here unless you have to. read more

This place is amazing! The bar staff is very knowledgeable, super friendly and very tentative. We have been coming here for years and wouldn't want to go anywhere else. The food is delicious and plentiful. Zac (the bar manager) is very friendly and can make some amazing drinks. His staff is on point. It's clean. The food is excellent and plentiful. No better place to go in Cocoa Beach!!!!! Thank you Zac, Lucas, JoJo, Matt, Nick and the whole Shark Pit staff for always making us feel comfortably. read more

Don't do it. I've been coming here for 10+ years excusing horrible service and hoping for improvement and it's actually so much worse now that I can honestly say it's on the #2 worst dining experiences I've ever had. The quality of the food went way down too and the entire staff is teenagers except for the (head bartender? Manager?)- who was very accommodating, apologetic and lovely- aside from some unprofessional abd bizarre things she did as well but overall the experience was unfortunately my last. I give up on this place. It's awful. It will make your day either bad or worse.. don't do it. Literally go anywhere but here, trust me. read more

The atmosphere here is cozy and fun. The service was great, Alexis was a very attentive waitress and did a great job. Food was slightly above par. I'd come back and eat here again for sure. Great prices! read more
