Good eats in Cocoa Head Florida?

This weekend our family is going on vacation in Cocoa Beach Florida. Does anyone have any restaurant recommendations? Preferably moderately priced, with great fresh seafood. Thanks!

Not seafood, but if you've got time for a change of pace I would recommend DiLorenzo's Pizza. We (4 adults, 2 kids) ate in, had a couple calzones, a pizza, and an appetizer or two. Everything was outstanding and reasonably priced. Easily our favorite meal of the trip.

On preview, apparently the owner retired earlier this year, so YMMV.

We usually end up at Florida's Seafood, Coconuts (right on the beach, which is nice) or Sunset Cafe. Fat Snook & Cafe Margaux are very good if you want to go a little more upscale.

Atlantic Ocean Grille at Cocoa Beach Pier, between 5-6PM when they have their cheaper early-bird dinner menu. I was honestly expecting a tourist trap, but instead got a reasonably priced bowl of some of the best garlic mussels on linguine I've ever had. They also have a decent brunch buffet on Sunday mornings. And a nice view.

Not seafood, but Rubio's Cuban Cafe is a Cocoa Beach classic and pretty cheap.

We did not have good luck at Coconuts but enjoyed a great breakfast at Simply Delicious Cafe. If you happen to be driving through Jupiter, don't miss The Food Shack.

Response by poster: All these sound great! Thanks so much, everyone.

Not necessarily seafood, but if you like Greek food, stop by the Sunrise Family Restaurant. Best. Gyros. Ever.
