If you're anywhere near the Space Coast and not stopping at Big Daddy J's, you're missing a launch…read moreyou'll regret. 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

My husband and I were looking for something different on Cocoa Beach, so we decided to try Big…read moreDaddy J's 5 Great Things after seeing the good reviews. When we arrived, we did notice the outside could use a little TLC, but once inside, it was very clean and tidy. We were immediately greeted by both the hostess and bartender, and they were very friendly. We were seated right away and our drink orders were taken quickly. It took us a few minutes to go through the menu since we weren't familiar with the restaurant, and there are quite a few items to choose from. We ordered the "Crack Mac Snack" (macaroni and cheese) and added pulled pork and the biscuit bread. The food came out quickly, and we were not disappointed. The biscuit bread was absolutely amazing, rich, soft, and delicious (maybe a little too generous with the butter on top, but still delicious). It's a thick, hearty piece, about two inches high and roughly four inches square. The mac and cheese was a generous portion and easily enough to share, and it was really good. The homemade BBQ sauce was also a highlight. The only slight miss was my husband's Coke, which wasn't very sweet, possibly a calibration issue with the machine. Overall, this is definitely a spot worth trying if you're in Cocoa Beach and want something different. There's a lot on the menu, and we'll definitely be back.

While all of the local restaurants we visited were amazing what made Salty Sisters stand out among the rest was the fantastic service, Chanel and Jenny were incredible, they truly went out of their way to make us feel welcome.

And happy to report Salty Sisters had, hands down, the best french fries of any establishment we visited. We will definitely be back for the incredible service and yummy food. Great job Salty Sisters.

They have a good rotation of local bands, outdoor seating, friendly staff, cold beers but very average food. The outdoor area is large, but feels neglected. The beer selection is ok, but there is a large amount of the selection dedicated to what my friend called "redneck rodeo beers" (PBR, Busch Light, etc. - just missing some Natty Lights). I'd say that a good third of our orders over our combined visits have been a little off (missing items, wrong wing seasoning, overcooked, overseasoned, etc.), but the waitresses have been very good in fixing what you bring to their attention. Giving it the benefit of the doubt with the 3rd star (the waitresses saved the day!) and hoping our next visit is as amazing as I want it to be!

The staff were pleasant and service efficient. The ambiance was eclectic and small. An ATM machine was located onsite. It took a minute (about 30 minutes) before our order was ready. Tip: Call your order in ahead of time. The wings menu...was definitely what I was NOT expecting. They have a plethora of wing flavors that boggles the mind (Eye of the Tiger, Polish Hill Strangler, The Color Purple, Frank Sinatra just to name a few). They also have burgers, sandwiches, and hoagies in addition to salads and sides. Although the walk back to the hotel was a bop, our wings were still hot, fresh, and crispy. All in all, a great place for wings and we can't wait to come back and try one of the more unique flavors.

Amazing portions (20 wings for $25), the perfect amount of sauce, extremely crispy wings, and tons of flavors. I was a little bit paralyzed by choice but went with the Steel City flavor and it was amazing. Also got some of the cheese, bacon, ranch fries and they were really good and a huge portion as well. Such a hidden gem. I wish I had more time to try many many more flavors. There is nowhere to sit inside, but you can make an online order really easily and they accept card online.

Man I really wanted to like this place but I just couldn't!!…read more It is a really mundane place over all. The ambiance is that of every other bar, which in itself isn't bad but it is when you don't do anything to really stand out. I ordered the southern burger and their special of deviled eggs. The deviled eggs were really good but only 6 half eggs was $12. Way overpriced in my opinion. The burger looked really good but for $22 for the burger and the fries, it better be top notch. Burger came out over done, with the entire bottom bun completely soaked in juice. It basically fell apart by the end of the meal. I will say the fries were really good but for $45 with a tip FOR ONE PERSON this place is way over priced for what you get. I also thought my service was just okay as well. Wouldn't recommend this place and won't be back.

The old-fashioned is not too strong tasting. It has a nice balance with the orange so it is very smooth! The food here is phenomenal! We started with the half dozen of Rae oysters and they were very fresh and had everything that you needed with it. They were amazing! The entrées that we ordered were fish and chips and Aji tuna tacos both came with french fries and the french fries were super crunchy and extremely fresh and delicious! The fish and chips fish was evenly breaded, and the fish was very light and did not taste fishy at all! The Aji tuna tacos had a little punch of what tasted like wasabi, they were amazing! Thank you, Kim for the amazing service we had a great time here! Highly Recommend!

Menu isn't too cluttered, won't be difficult making a decision. Fish and chips were excellent. Airy, light, and the moist fish easily drew apart. A bit pricy and it took quite some time to receive food. Somewhat understandable if you're with a large group of 6, but definitely noticeable. The single meal, no drinks, plus auto-gratuity (for large groups) brought my total to $28. I didn't have much leftovers. The staff were quick to attend the table and kept waters filled the entire meal. Great service!

Inside is a tiki bar vibe, it is very small business and the waitress is super nice (and must deal with a lot). It was virtually empty when we went for dinner. Mussel and clam in white wine: okay the bread was not even grilled (I had expected some buttery smoked grill mark situation) and the clams had a lot of sand in them. There was a handful of dead mussels. And overall it was a bit salty and lacking in freshness. Mahi taco- inside was good but idk if orlando doesn't have a good bread place cuz the tortilla was soo bad. Like no moisture, fake tasting tortilla. Otherwise the fish and toppings are yummy and I can see why its recommended. Again not really the blackened grill flavor. The fries were real potato (russet) but also felt a overfried/fried too long at a low temperature because they were greasy and some were burnt.. The fried oysters were okay, on the smaller side. Overall, this place might be better for fried baskets and like fish and chips rather than fresh seafood experience. Also considering it is on the cape/island you do have to drive out a long way on a single road to get to it, so that might have also influenced my expectations. Again the service is good and nice if you do want to support a local business. Just for the price and repertoire, maybe I had higher expectations.

SCORE! 11¢ for coleslaw? I love me some coleslaw, so I was all about that! The blackened shrimp & grits were SOooo delish! The shrimp had so much flavor & there was so many of them.
