What diners say — our read

An A inspection result sits behind a review average of just 2.5. Opinion on front-of-house is split — those reviews land at 3.3 on average.

Of the 17 rated reviews, 6 sit at four stars or better and 10 at two or below. No one in this corpus comments on how much food arrives at all. The single most common rating left here is 1 star (10 of 17).

The health record runs ahead of the reviews. The last DBPR inspection returned an A (95/100) with 1 intermediate and 2 basic violations. The visit behind that grade was April 23, 2026. On health score it sits safer than 58% of the Brevard County restaurants we grade. For specifics, the last inspection cited food-contact surfaces clean and sanitized and sewage and waste water disposed properly.

Worth separating: the complaints above cluster on service, not on the kitchen, which inspected well. Full reviews follow below in the order they were left.

    Pushups doesn’t bother anyone.

  • June 28, 2026

    Bad experience with staff, my friend got kick out for just push ups

  • June 28, 2026

    I saw them kick someone off their pier for simply doing pushups. They should be embarrassed. Nothing is more un-American than that! SHAME

  • June 27, 2026

    Came to do some push ups to keep in shape and was promptly cussed out and body slammed by the security team at the request of management. Do not recommend coming here for any reason. Horrible staff, horrible place, horrible experience.

    Jeremy has been our server several times over the years and he's awesome!! Will be back again on our next trip of course :)

  • June 27, 2026

    Food is always great. Jeremy is the best server ever! Remembers us each year and always takes the best care of us. Great to see a place with phenomenal employee retention. That says a lot!

    Terrible experience

  • June 26, 2026

    extremely rude staff… especially this older lady and younger girl with tattoos and piercings. Gave my grandmother ugly looks, and myself when entering the shop. My parents were there way before me and I decided to join them after eating at the pier’s restaurant. It was a rainy day so things were closing earlier I assume, and instead of greeting me when entering. I was told that I couldn’t be in the shop because the shop was closing in 5 minutes. And was told again by the younger lady. I said I’m with my parents, who were already shopping. Ugly faces. There were 5 mins left ? What was the issue? I wanted to buy an item to have for memory since I’m from Texas, but it instantly killed my mood. There were other ladies in the shop too? Why weren’t they told anything? Was it because my family and I were darker complex? I thought about this interaction the whole day. Extremely rude and disappointed. I understand the shop was going to close , but the vides and the delivery were very negative and unkind. Do better.

    yo this is the WORST experience I had.

  • June 25, 2026

    Es lindo, atención buena, comida? 3/4,, no me gustó, no tiene relación - precio. Si, así de simple… es seguro ? Si, los guardias muy pendientes:.

    Rude workers

  • June 25, 2026

    Bar at end of pier had good food. Bowls were very food and calamari was fresh. Service was fast and friendly. Shaved Ice had good flavor and not over priced. Gift shop at the entrance had a good selection.
