Reviews for Sunset Cafe' Waterfront Bar & Grill in Cocoa Beach, FL

We went as non foodies looking for a great ocean sunset view expecting average food on a Friday night. The view was great and... staff fun. The crabcakes were odd, as in not good and didnt finish them, but my husband's fish was better and the slaw wasgreat. The band was bad and they had a terribly set up system that made my AV hubby cringe. The drink I had was average. For theamount we spent i expect much better. This is not an average bar, with average food, and a great view. It's a below average barwith below average food, average drinks, and a really really great view. As hubby said"they are resting on the view." You want aview buy a hamburger and don't stray to the seafood. They add a 3%+ fee for credit card usage. The view was amazing!! Read more

Have been here a few times and love it every time. Great food , neat and clean. Beautiful sunset veiws. Great bands and super... friendly staff. Prices are what you would expect from a beach side nice sit down restaurant. But worth it. Come and enjoy. Read more

We come down here every year the end of July. This is one of my wife’s favorite spots. We eat here every time. Food is good.... The view is even better. The menu is small, alittle pricey. The service is usually terrible. Long wait times just to getstarted, soft drinks and to order. The karaoke is entertaining. Most are tone deaf but amusing none the less. The view in theevenings is where it’s at. Pictures don’t do justice. Sitting out on the deck is peaceful. Lots of fish, sometimes you’llsee a dolphin Read more

This was the worst experience I have had at a restaurant in Cocoa Beach. I am on vacation with a group and my friends and I... decided this was a good place to eat because of the reviews left on the site and the location being a waterfront. However, I amvery disappointed in the service and food provided to us. Our server was very short and awkward and did not check in on us atall. We got appetizers that came out two minutes before our food because she did not put it in. Same goes for the food, shewalked up and asked what my order was twenty minutes after we told her leaving us to realize that our food was still not putinto the system. I ordered the chicken tenders that were listed as fried and crispy. They came out as the picture shown. Theywere cold in the middle and tasted like frozen dinosaur nuggets. I then asked the women if they were the appetizer being what Iordered and she claimed they were. It was not good and I did not eat any of it and told her I was not satisfied and was stillcharged when I did get anything like the description shown on the menu. I was then served soggy sweet potato fries. This is notthe end, it only gets worse. My friend shared her chicken Cesar salad and the chicken had a rubber feel and was impossible toeven bite. My other friends got shrimp Alfredo that came out cold. I don't eat shrimp but I was told that frozen shrimp fromWalmart was better. To top it all off, we received messed up checks. Decided to just pay them wrong and then got them back notinformed that there was a service charge as well as a credit card fee after being unaware that cash would not have this feeadded. The website states outdoor heated seating while it was freezing and the fans were all on. To sum it up this wasabsolutely terrible and I would never recommend it to anyone. Read more

The view here is pretty nice and my waitress was attentive and nice. The food was below average. The fries were soggy and cold.... The cheese was weirdly melted on the burger which had absolutely no flavor. I didn’t eat the coleslaw because it didn’t evenlook appetizing to me The drink was okay but not anything I would ever get again. I also had the clam chowder which was okay.It was lukewarm when I got it. Read more

Came here for Anniversary dinner and was not disappointed. We were lucky enough to be there at Sunset. It is named Sunset Cafe... and obviously it is a special time there (including a song). Food was very good. We had Grouper entree and Mahi mahi entree. Abit pricey but your paying for the package including a live band! I only wish they had pitchers of beer but our waitress kept upwith us. ???? The menu with Toucan is most recent! Read more

Very chill atmosphere, great music and the seafood is awesome! Conch fritters and crab cakes run on the bready side. They had... snow crab legs on special (not usually on the menu) and they were the best I had in a long time. Key lime pie is spot on. Highlyrecommend sunset cafe Read more

I must have picked the worst night to try this place, it was a 2+ hour wait because of the boat parade and they didn't make... people get up from tables even after tabbing out. In addition to the two photos we had a steak ordered medium rare and it camewell done, I asked the busgirl twice for our waitress and once for a manager. When the waitress came back she did correct theissue and the next steak was much better, but everyone else was already done eating. Overall the food was good, but the serviceis severely lacking. The last issue is the live band, when you pay $26 a plate I would like to be able to hear the people at mytable, not feel like I am at a loud bar, maybe a week day is much better than a weekend.
