This is a tough one because there are so many places to choose from.
We’ll give you our favorites and some links.
Within
easy walking distance:
Unit
703: Breakfast, walk to the end of the parking lot and go left;
not very far up on the left you will see New York Deli, they server
a good breakfast and it’s reasonably priced. Also, you can’t
miss Denny’s if that’s what your up for. Right next
door is the Holiday Inn, go out on the beach and turn left, they
have a breakfast buffet for about $10.
Lunch;
New York Deli, Denny’s and if you go right there’s a
deli on the left, not great but not bad and very close. If you are
on the beach walk to Holiday Inn right next door to Mambos where
they serve a nice lunch selection at reasonable prices.
Dinner,
again go left and on the right hand side of the street you will
see Rum Runners; it doesn’t look like much but the food is
absolutely excellent. Anything from the specials menu will be great
and they have the best clam chowder. However, if you are looking
for Maryland style crab cakes, this isn’t the place. Just
before Rum Runners is the Pig & Whistle another good bet; Denny’s
is still there and the Holiday Inn has a dinner buffet for $14 or
try Mamobs.
Unit
206: As this unit is just a block from the Pier and a few blocks
from Ron Jons, the choices are too numerous. Just take a stroll
in most any direction and you will find many choices.
Short
Drive:
Go
to 520 (at Ron Jons) and turn west (away from the ocean is always
west). On the left you will see the SunSet Cafe; beautiful setting
on the water the food is fair and it’s reasonable. Get there
around sunset and it’s quite beautiful. Generally live music
by the bar. Go past the SunSet Cafe and over the bridge to the first
light and turn left, on the left you will see Banana Breeze. Very
nice beach type bar area on the water, live entertainment on weekends,
pool tables inside. Further up 520 on the left you will see Crab
Haven which has very good seafood to include pretty good Maryland
style crab cakes and crab soup. If you want steamed crabs, the Old
Fish house just ¼ mile up 520 from A1A on your right is a
must.
Take
a right and go to the Port Terminal follow the signs to Suncruz
and turn left it will be on your right, Rustys Seafood and Oyster
Bar; live entertainment on Friday and Saturday nights, right on
the water. Specials from 3:00PM to 6:00PM. Get there before 5 on
Saturday or Sunday and watch the curies ships load up and sail out;
great oysters and wings among other things, inexpensive. On your
way you will see Grills, also on the water, entertainment, food
and lively large beach type bar area that draws a crowd. In this
area you will find may dining and entertainment choices.

- We also found two upscale restaurants well worth recommending.
The Heidelberg on Minutemen Causeway - excellent food and atmosphere
- after dinner we went into the jazz club and had a wonderful time
- very friendly owner and staff. The other is located in Cocoa Village
- Cafe Margaux - excellent food - outside or inside dining. Nicci
