Rare Denversail Posted March 23 #1 Share Posted March 23 (edited) We will be landing at noon in Orlando on a Thursday. We will be picking up a rental car at the airport. We are driving to Cocoa Beach but I know we will be starving. Any suggestions on where to stop for lunch on the way? Preferably within a 10 mile radius of the airport. We will make dinner reservations in Cocoa Beach so don’t want to eat lunch late. Edited March 23 by Denversail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt_BJ Posted March 23 #2 Share Posted March 23 (edited) https://www.rockandbrews.com/ I eat here on occasion. big open place - very informal <to say the least> - wide ranging menu of sandwiches, salads, pizza, more .... https://www.rockandbrews.com/files/orlando-pdf-2.pdf maybe 3 miles from the terminal .... there are several choices off Semoran ... just follow signs for north exit and stay on Semoran. Easy to get back to 528 for the run to Cocoa / port stop here or you have little choice but to wait til Cocoa .... there's virtually nothing between '417' and the outskirts of Cocoa. Only 40 miles but .... p.s. for dinner in Cocoa Beach there aren't many places that take reservations ... this IS a beach town. The popular places in the port don't: Grills, FishLips, Rusty's, Gators. Which is better? Ask 10 locals and you'll get 15 opinions. I like Grills because less of their food is fried ... the portcanaveral web cam sits on Fishlips ....

Capt_BJ Posted March 23 #5 Share Posted March 23 if you plan to do a heavy meal for dinner, maybe you want a light lunch. Continue down Sem' to WAWA and get a sub to eat in the car!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for the recommendation! While I love seafood my traveling companion does not. I would like to find a place with a more steak seafood balanced menu.
