   We were visiting Cocoa Beach for a friends wedding and found The Fat Snook. Everything about our dinner was amazing. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable. The food was incredible! We started with the seared scallops, the perfect balance of sweet and savory. My husband got the fresh catch of the day which was a grouper with black rice, and I got the grilled duck breast. I never knew duck crackling was missing in my life! Such a wonderful balance of flavors in every dish. To finish off our meal we had an amazing key lime pie. I’m sad we’re leaving or I would 100% go back for another meal.

   We went during Happy Hour 4-6, all the apps are half off! Everything tasted delicious and with the happy hour prices, everything was very reasonably priced. Dishes are on the smaller side, so you will want to order appetizers.

    Such a great experience for my boyfriend’s birthday! A hand made birthday card was placed upon our table - so thoughtful. Our server was friendly and informative (and fun). I loved the carrot appetizer and the cornbread was amazing!! Entrees of fresh catch, scallops and shrimp and my Thai beef salad were all outstanding. Finished the meal with a smooth cream brûlée complete with a candle. Wonderful!!!

    Very special restaurant. Chef is outstanding and cannot be compared to any other top restaurant the we frequent. Creates umami in every dish. Dishes are refined. Beautiful plating as well. An amuse-bouche is served as you are seated. Service is impeccable. Don't let the small, rustic look deter you - this is a top notch restaurant. Parking may look like a challenge - very few spots in front of roadside restaurant - but you can park along the street. You won't regret it. They have a wine & beer license only. They do have cocktails but they sub liquor with a wine or possible champagne. Large wine menu. Bottled and draft beer.

    The Fat SnookResponded on July 22, 2022We are so happy to have such amazing clientele. Thank you for the kind words and we hope to see you again soon.

    We had a delightful anniversary dinner at the Fat Snook. Had been wanting to dine there for some time. I marked on Open Table that we were celebrating our anniversary, and the staff had signed an anniversary card for us that was on our reserved table when we arrived. What a great touch! All the employees were friendly and kind, and gave us just the right amount of attention. We were able to talk without raising our voices, which is a welcome change from many restaurants these days. And the food was really awesome. We can't wait to bring out of town guests to dine there when they visit.

    We enjoyed the creole shrimp and grits and fresh salmon as our mains and had the mussels for our entree. All of the food was excellent in flavor and the quantities were generous. The key lime pie was very nice too. Lastly we were there during happy hour and the French rose was excellent. We will return another day.

    The food is generally very good; however, our last few visits have resulted in less than stellar quality in ingredients and availability. Our server last night was very disappointing. He hovered, brought wrong wine (twice) and then told us he was leaving and could we pay (before we ordered dessert). Inconsistency in both quality and service.

    The Fat SnookResponded on July 10, 2022Hi Jamie! I am SO sorry to hear about this experience. This is not ok and is not congruent with our high standards here at The Fat Snook. We want every guest's experience here to be an experience and I am sorry to hear about the subpar experience you've received. I would like to make it up to you. If you could email me management@thefatsnook to discuss further, that would be great. Rest assured we will handle these inconsistencies promptly. Best, The Fat Snook Management Team

    We had a wonderful birthday meal at the Fat Snook! Our server Casey shared the specials with great detail and knowledge and answered questions about the menu. Our water glasses were never empty and he frequently checked in with the table to see if he could get anyone another beer. The whole table raved about how good his service was. We have been here before but are always impressed by the quality of both the food and service. We tried the Mussels from Brussels and the Farmer’s market pasta as starters. Highly recommend both! You also can never go wrong with either of their Fresh Catch options. Definitely a foodie experience on an upscale level that all locals and visitors should try!

    We ate at The Fat Snook for Father's Day, and it was outstanding! Our server, C.J., was wonderful and so accommodating to our various palates. Everything was delicious from the complimentary amuse-bouche to the made in-house desserts. My father had a scrumptuous grilled swordfish, and he said it was the best swordfish he's ever had. Thai fish soup, mussels, swordfish, salmon, duck breast, steak filet--plus vegan options. Everyone will be happy! Note: Beer and wine only.

    We like to sit outside because we have a greater-than-average sensitivity to noise level, but we couldn't sit outside on our recent visit due to weather. The food, service, ambiance, and attention to detail are all outstanding. We also wish they had more parking.

    Our family visited here on vacation from Miami. The food was all very good with great attention to detail. The waitress was very helpful in selecting a wine. For appetizers, we ordered the scallops and deviled eggs. Both were excellent. For the main course, we got the creole shrimp and scallops, beet salad, and cornbread. We got fries and the butter and cheese pasta for the kids. It was appreciated that they offered options for them. We got the bananas foster crème brûlée and the chocolate torte for dessert. Amazing! We had a great time and the service was fantastic. Would definitely come here again if we are in the area.

    Honestly, I don't think you can go wrong no matter what you order, although with the 4 times I have dined there, I have always ordered the special fish entrees and they have always been outstanding. All the starters and desserts I've had have also been delicious! I highly recommend The Fat Snook! It is by far my favorite restaurant in this area.

    We sat outside. The area was covered and there was a strong fan. We were very comfortable. Our waiter was attentive and helpful. The menu is very limited. Look on their website and see if it looks appealing because with some variations that’s all there is. The kitchen overcooked the two salmon entrees (close to black on top), and the side order of Brussel sprouts were cooked dry to the point of almost crumbling. The creole shrimp and scallops entree was delicious. I ordered a bottle of wine that the cellar did not have but the waiter made an excellent choice as a substitute. The meal was not cheap, and if all the food had been well prepared I would have been glad to pay it. But the kitchen failures marred the experience. Be careful what you order.
