this restaurant features seafood with an accent on the lobster. there are two types of lobster rolls, new england and connecticut which are both very good. the new england clam chowder was excellent. there are crab legs, shrimp scallops, clams and fish on the menu so you have many seafood choices but there are no other lobster rolls in cocoa beach. they are a must. they service was great as this place uses a team approach so everyone takes care of you. the prices were standard for lobster and seafood

Iâve got to say that I had never eaten at a LongHorn Steakhouse before, but I was very pleasantly surprised. The NY strip was excellent, the service was great, and the interior of the restaurant was quite nice.The quality of the steak we had was really good, and comparable to steaks served at a top steakhouse. I would highly recommend that anyone looking for a really good meal check out LongHorn Steakhouse. Good marks all around.

Wasn't sure what I was walking into, as we nor our guests (who made the choice) had been there, was done solely on a recommendation. For the starters we had (group of 4) the Escargot, Beef Carpaccio, and the fried Camembert. The Camembert was amazing! The Carpaccio could have used a touch of seasoning, but super fresh tasting. Everyone enjoyed the Escargot. For salad course, three of us chose the "mushroom and brie" soup...really good. Wife had risotto, also very good.Mains are hard to predict because everything is fresh, so don't plan your meal in advance. Fish is all catch of the day, meats are as well. Of the group, there were 2 Halibut's, 1 Salmon and 1 double bone-in pork chop.All of them were well prepared and very tasty. Three of us got the Pasta Carbonara as our "starch" and it had a super smoky taste and was very fresh tasting.From the outside, it's a "walk on by" looking place...and if you check the google street view, know that the sign has been changed, but you'd still never know how good it is.It's a one-turn restaurant, not a turn and burn. Our seating was at 6:30 and we hung out and chatted til 9pm closing. It's not a "bargain" restaurant, it is a nice 4* place. Excellent and skilled service, not fast and cheap service. You do lose yourself in where you are....Cocoa Beach....though you feel as if you could be in NYC, LA or LAS...other than some patrons in shorts...LOL...no dress code, but it's my Florida...I'm good with it.Highly recommend

Found this on Trip Advisor. Here on vacay. Serioisly, the BEST homemade chicken salad sandwich I have ever eaten! Mike, the owner was so personable too! The sandwich was huge and made to order. Hubby had turkey melt sandwich and loved it too. Comes with drink and chips. Low prices. I will be coming back here again when we visit. It is behind a big office bldg.Great place!

Some very different items on the menu, service was excellent. Cheese cake waffle with blueberries was outrageous, presentation was superior.So many options on the menu for a variety of food, plus the traditional breakfast items. Waffle could have been hotter, but heck it was good none the less.Looking forward to going back soon.
