poor service, and bad bartender. asked for a frozen margarita and got a glass of crushed ice. no tequila, lime or cointreau taste at all. sent it back but was still charged for drink. salads were bland and left half eaten. never going to waste my time or money there again. read more

They gave me a corkscrew when I needed one. I offered to pay but was refused. Plus they have amazing food and drinks and staff.

The view and free parking are the only things deserving of the single star. Not going to lie, the view is great! The crab dip is awful and reminded me of what I mix together for a tuna melt. The server was fresh out of the 10th grade and was absolutely no where to be found when we were ready to pay. My husband found her on the stairs scrolling her phone. Watch the receipt if you order a fun beverage listed on the menu as they charge an ADDITIONAL fee when they choose the alcohol in their system even though the price is listed on the menu and you did not alter your beverage. I questioned this with the bar tender and he said it was out of their control and the system makes them do that to move forward. Hidden trick! They offer a small discount for paying in cash. read more

Make it a regular stop now. At least twice a week atmosphere is good. The view on the rooftop bar is exceptional, food is outstanding and prepared well, and the service is very good.. at the table seating or the bar. Charlie H. read more

One of your traditional Florida restaurants, right on the beach with spectacular views of the ocean. The inside decor is a little skeptical, when you walk in it doesn't seem like a restaurant. The food is decent, but nothing special and the food was slightly pricey. My sister and I got the harissa chicken skewers, the flavor was yummy & paired well with the coconut basmati rice. The service was excellent though! James was very attentive and made sure our needs were met. read more

You guys have to eat here! The upstairs outside bar and deck is absolutely gorgeous and the inside waterfall is pretty neat. The food is top notch. One of the best burgers that I have had and the absolute best crab cakes I have ever eaten! 10 out of 10 read more

the food was absolutely DELICIOUS!! i believe my waitresses name was erica but she was very bubbly, kind, and lightened the mood of the day. the view was astonishing and i've never seen anything like it before. food came out quickly while still being delicious. the pricing was excellent. my friend got 3 crab cakes for 15 dollars, and i got a basket of shrimp (5x) with fries for 17. 1000% recommend for its convenience right in the parking lot near the beach. read more

My wife and I had dinner here this evening. The restaurant does not look impressive. There is an indoor area downstairs and an outdoor area upstairs. I had the coconut curry grouper, and it was the best piece of fish I've had in quite awhile. Just perfect. My wife had the mahi fish tacos. The fish was excellent, but she would've preferred flour tortillas over the corn. Her rice was average, while my coconut rice was superb. We had two cocktails, which were delicious, though a little expensive. Highly recommend. read more

A great place for lunch and cocktails. Desiree was a great host and bartender. I recommend the chorizo and cod crouqettes and the burger is good. Was there for a rocket launch and had a great view. read more

Twisted Tides - Beer Bar Near Me - Cocoa Beach, Florida

After years of wondering why this place always seemed empty, compared to the place right next door, we went there today and discovered why... over an hour and half wait for sub par food... yah no read more

I'm never going to waste my time or money at this establishment. The owner should be ashamed of the people he employs. We went to the roof top. Maybe that was my mistake. The waitress that waited on us was the most unprofessional person I've ever had to deal with in a restaurant. If I would have seen the 3.7 star review I would have never even come to this place I wasted my time and my money. Stay away go somewhere else I would suggest going to The Sandbar right next door and some much better experience and more professional. read more

My date and I went in here for Karaoke and Wings on Tuesday. We had a few mix drinks each. The Bartender, when handing me the PDA to finish a Credit Card Transaction, pressed the 25% Tip button as she handed it to me, blatantly so. My response was "$125!" For which see convincingly looked me strait in the eye and said "yes, I will run out a tab list if you want", I declined giving her the benefit of the doubt. When I processed the transaction the Tip option never became available. When I got the printed end receipt, that's when I knew what that button was that she made sure to press, it was a 25% Tip. I do 20% even for bad service, maybe 22 or more for exceptional service....she would have been a 20%. She was intentionally deceitful because I wasn't a regular no doubt, and she knew I probably wasn't going to make a scene about it, she was right. I am going back again and spend some money there, and I'm not tipping her a red cent! read more

Food and service both need an improvement. Went in a Wednesday evening at dinner time and they were not busy. Selected a table out of the sun, the server took orders for drinks which took a long time to get. Placed our orders for food, which took a REALLY long time to get (about an hour!). Our party of 4 ordered an appetizer that came after we had been served and were eating the rest of our meals. By that point, we figured they had forgotten about it, and then here it comes out, so that was a waste. Bland and dry chicken Philly sandwich. Had to ask twice for ketchup and salt even though 2 of 4 meals came with unseasoned fries. Fish and chips seemed to be a big hit. The other two meals were so-so. We were up-charged for special requests that weren't served. The service was way too slow, no apologies or updates on the wait times, nothing too special about this place. read more

Go somewhere else. We wanted to go to sandbar next door but they were packed for Jeopardy night and we would've had to wait quite a while. We opted to go next door to Twisted Tides. Took the waitress Kelsey about 20 minutes to come over to us and get our drink orders going. We sat for another ten minutes before our waters arrived, we ordered, and food took over an hour to arrive to the table. We were up charged for avocado which wasn't even on our plate, our appetizer came AFTER our meal was served (the tuna tartare which was NOT good and had burnt toast served with it), had to ask the waitress four times to bring salt and pepper to the table. The only reason I give this place two star is because the view of the beach is amazing. Otherwise everything about this place was not good. Way too expensive for subpar food and horrible service. read more

Didn't even get a chance to try this establishment. My wife and I walked in around 8:30pm on 9/27/2025 to what seemed to be a kids birthday party. Didn't see a host/hostess or any worker for that matter. read more

HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE. "Papas Bravas Smoky Aioli" and they just gave us bland baby potatoes thrown in the microwave. Ceviche came in martini glasses DIFFERENT SIZES and they still charge you $16 even if they give you a lesser amount. Ceviche didn't even have fish Crab cakes are $27 and they are literally MINI sized.... Food took 1 hour to arrive. Not worth it. If you want to get some food by the beach just go somewhere else read more

The food was very delicious, service was great! I wish there was more light on the top deck after the sun goes down. But our server did bring us a lantern for the table. read more

Food, drinks, and views are amazing! I love the crab cakes and the Ocean Reef cocktail. There are tables and chairs on the second floor that face the ocean and it's my favorite spot!!! read more

We ate at the roof top restaurant and it was a disappointing experience even though the food was not bad. One of my friends ordered the papas brava but was given a sweet potato dish. She had to show the waiter the description from the menu before he would admit the sweet potatoes weren't what she had ordered. She said the steak skewers she ordered were just so-so, nothing special. I mistakenly ordered a drink that contained tequila and the waiter brought me a new drink. When I got the bill both drinks had an extra charge for Bicardi rum although I hadn't requested that, I had simply ordered the drink by name. read more

Poor service, bland food, long wait--very disappointing and not worth the visit. Beware

When I first walked in, I wasn't very impressed it just felt like a big room with tables. However, once I went upstairs the atmosphere was delightful with a beautiful view of the ocean. The food wasn't anything special, but still good. My sister and I wanted to get an appetizer, but since we don't eat seafood the options were limited. We decided on the caramelized sweet potatoes, and they were delicious! We also ordered the harissa chicken skewers, though they could have more meat on them, they were still pretty good. The coconut rice here is very yummy! Our waiter James was so attentive and fun to talk with! read more

Monica was great, very attentive and knowledgeable. The salads were great, the rooftop was an amazing view and beautiful atmosphere. The upgrades to the restaurant are great. Will definitely be back! read more

Absolutely the worst experience I've had in years. We arrived and sat at a table that wasn't clean. Then ordered drinks and it took 23 minutes to get drinks. When the drinks finally got there, the server apologized for the long wait and said the bartender was slammed. We ordered pepper coconut shrimp. It came out in a reasonable time and it was excellent!! We ordered another round of drinks. We were with another couple and we all ordered the drinks at the same time. Several minutes went by and they brought the drinks the other couple ordered but not mine and my wife's drink. 20 minutes later, another server brought our drinks and we sent them back because we had to get going due to an event we were attending later that evening. The server that brought the drinks looked at us and said "Seriously", with a condescending attitude. We asked for our checks and that took what felt like an eternity. Truth be told, it was probably about 10 minutes or so. When the server finally brought our checks, she went to my Sister-In-Law first with electronic contraption they use for you to be able to pay your tab. My sister law didn't pay attention to what it said and paid my tab instead of her own. The server handed me the tablet and I noticed it was not my tab. I told her it wasn't my tab and she had to refund the other tab. I asked for a manager and about 10 minutes later he came to our table. He was a nice enough guy. Very polite and apologized for the issues his staff was having. He offered to buy us a drink on our next visit. I've run several restaurants in the past and the correct way to handle that would have been to comp the check apologize for the staffs shortcomings. I would have given the place another chance. But when you charge premium pricing, you should give premium service. I will never go back. read more

Great waitress. Excellent flatbread and nachos. Had fun playing Tuesday Trivia!!! Would def return

Great atmosphere, roof top area was nice to watch the ocean. Great staff & good food. Very nice lunch time menu

Lovely upstairs patio overlooking the ocean. Food was fresh and tasty. Recommend the mahi tacos or the fish and chips!

I love this place, the drinks, the food and especially the staff!!! I highly recommend Twisted Tides everyone!!

Work in progress. Has potential for a New Orleans style raw bar downstairs, but right now empty space. Food is average. They are new so, I am willing to give them a chance. read more

we saw the cook that brought our food out pet a dog, which i'm allergic to, the manager took forever to come talk to us because he was walking a dog and the shots we ordered weren't made correctly read more
