Reviews via GoogleWhat diners say — our read
4.5 stars across 26 reviews, an F health grade — those two numbers are not describing the same visit. Where the staff comes up, the rating that follows averages 4.5, so it reads as a strength.
Whether it is worth the money shows up in 15% of reviews as well, averaging 4.0. More reviewers landed on 5 stars than any other score — 22 of 26. 22 of 26 rated reviews are four stars or higher; 2 are two or lower.
Set against that, the state's own inspection graded the kitchen an F (58/100), with 2 high-priority, 2 intermediate, and 5 basic violations recorded. Reviews describe the meal; the grade describes the conditions it was made in. That result dates from January 5, 2026. Ranked against Brevard County, it is safer than 4% of the restaurants we score. What the inspector actually wrote up: food from approved source and potentially hazardous foods properly thawed.
Taken together, this is a place diners like and inspectors do not. A good meal and a clean kitchen are different questions. The underlying reviews are reproduced in full underneath.

Summer was great.
-
The best seafood around Brevard County
-
Summer was absolutely amazing! She made sure we were very well taken care of and we waited on nothing.
-
Summer was a fabulous server! It was our first time at Bunkys and she was knowledgeable of the menu and all the food came out fast and delicious! 10/10 recommend!
-
Hadn’t been to Bunky’s in 30 years but it did not disappoint! Had the 1/2 price hot wings and they were delicious. Summer was our server and she was great. Gave us the specials, one of which we ordered and was very attentive. Will definitely be back the next time we are down here… hopefully not another 30 years!
-
Our server Summer was wonderful! Food was amazing. Blackened Snapper was sooo good!!
-
I have always loved Bunkys! Summer was exceptional. Great service. Friendly smile!
-
The food was very good. We had the seafood tower, oysters, raw and fried. The waitress was very nice and accommodating. The prices were not bad.
-
Don't bother. Mediocre seafood with a high price for what you get. I hade the Poke Bowl, a lot of ahi but they had so much sauce on the rice and fish, I couldn't even appreciate the flavor of the food itself. Hubby had the fresh catch Red Snapper. Overcooked and dried out. We sent his back but seriously, we shouldn't have to send the fish back. We rarely send back food, that's why I wiped the sauce off my food the best I could although it was hard to enjoy it. Hubby's fish was such a big disappointment, not enjoyable at all. That's why it went back. They did take it off the bill but regardless, we won't be back
-
Great job, Summer… We will back to see you!
-
Great location and genuinely wonderful people. The staff is friendly, welcoming, and clearly works hard to take care of the customers. That part of the experience is excellent. The food, however, is fair. It is not bad, but it is also not the kind of meal where you leave saying, “That was one of the best I’ve ever had.” The restaurant has a lot of potential, but the facilities could use updating, and the menu feels like it needs to be refreshed and elevated. I really wanted to give five stars because I like the people and the atmosphere, but the food needs to improve to match the quality of the staff and the location. With some updates and stronger menu execution, this place could be much better.

I have been coming here since the mid 1990s when they were in Satelite Beach. They have gotten better with age. Food and service are excellent
-
Have been there years and I don't know why. Very good food and drink, good service, awesome happy hour. Will most definitely be back sooner than later
-
They're ok. Could use some maintenance. Oysters are mediocre. Not waterfront.
-
Ordered take out fish tacos and clam chowder. Everything was ready on time and remained hot during the 20 minute drive back to the hotel. The fish tacos were very good and the clam chowder was loaded with clams and very nicely seasoned. The bar area was very crowded and noisy, so I'm glad I chose to eat at the hotel. Definitely worth a trip there for the food though!
-
Summer was very helpful in explaining the menu choices! The chowder and poke bowl were delicious! I would absolutely eat here again. Give it a try!!
-
