Fat Boys
Massive burgers, thick shakes, and a jukebox in the corner. Fat Boys was the quintessential American diner experience, Brevard-style. Always packed, always worth the wait.

The Mouse Trap
The Mousetrap was a well-known Cocoa Beach restaurant remembered for its laid-back atmosphere, friendly service, and classic comfort food. Popular with both locals and visitors, it offered fresh seafood, hearty sandwiches, and casual beachside dining just steps from the ocean. While The Mousetrap has since closed, the location is now home to Cocoa Beach Fish Camp Grill, marking a new era for a spot long tied to Cocoa Beach’s restaurant scene.
Historic Melbourne Dining
Miguel's Posada del Rey
Before the CVS at 19 E. New Haven Avenue, there was one of old Melbourne's most memorable dining spots — a landmark home with a colorful past, ghost stories, great food, and a lot of local memories. Spanish and Mexican cuisine inside a haunted 1926 mansion.
