The Grilled Cheese and Crabcake Company — Restaurant in Cocoa Beach

Before anything else, Warning: You need to respect these sandwiches before ordering. I assure you this will be a delicious experience, but this food is richer than Elon Musk, and if you do not come in willing to pay tribute to your meal at the outset, you will overdraw your stomach's bank account like me.

Doing this for Matt because he asked me to. To give you context on this man, who was exceedingly pleasant, he plumbed the place and loves it so much he decided "I want to work here". Do you understand how much a person needs to love a place to want to work there? Work is awful. This man is a living testimony to the transformative power of this food, and he will be the Squanto of your crab and cheese journey. I don't even remember what I got because this man was like "If you're not sure, my guy, just get this." Paraphrased. I think it was a crab melt and shore fries. Just look at the photo attached.

Which by the way, quick topical side rant. People these days really are out here just tossing your meal in the box like the bouquet at the wedding of the first sorority sister to get married in her graduating class. Look at that freaking picture! Someone enchanted this box with TLC! I don't even usually take pictures of my food and I was like "Oh wow. I'm snapping this." This ultra cute girl I went out with last week even got insanely envious when I sent her the pic, so I suspect I'll be back for that reason alone if nothing else. Wish me luck, Brevard.

Now look. This food was absolutely delicious. I'm the opposite of a foodie and even I enjoyed it. I was just looking to grab dinner on the way home.

Fries are most akin to "Steak fries" in consistency and whatever they put on top was an excellent compliment. The ingredients balance well and nothing feels particularly overpowering. The crab:cheese:bread:tomato ratio on the sammy was also done well. BUT like I said, do not disrespect this food. I went in like a craven wild animal, unfed since breakfast after a long day and it put me out of commission for a few hours. I only got halfway through before I had to take a break, and ended up not finishing (but in fairness I'm kind of a light eater). But this sandwich became my White Whale, and I was adamant I was going to finish it. Upon re-visitation at a more reserved pace,...

I’m in Orlando getting ready to go on a cruise. I stopped by Dollar General to get some things and to my joy I saw The Grilled Cheese and Crabcake Company. Being a lover of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives I was super stoked. Walking in, the location is super cute. It’s a nice size, straight forward, and super clean. As this was my first time I needed a moment to review the menu.

The Grilled Cheese and Crabcake Company has a robust menu that is beyond just a regular grilled cheese. Taking a few moments to take the menu in, I decided to order the Guy Fieri creation.

"THE TRIPLE D MELT" BUILT BY GUY FIERI | ($15.25) Smoked gouda, smoked brat, onion rings, fried egg, pepper jack, jalapeños, and sriracha

Omgggggggggggggg. When I say Amazingggggggg. This creation is top tier and provides a level of flavor pleasing joy that I never expected.

The Smoked Gouda is super melty and brings the salt to the sandwich.

The Smoked Brat brings a meat source smokiness enhancement that brings out the robust flavor of the Gouda and adds a stacked layer of ummmmm.

The Onion Rings bring another layer of crunch that pairs well with the toasted bread.

The Pepper Jack and Jalapeños combined add a spice that is more flavor based than beat based. I don’t even like Pepper Jack much but it is amazing on this sandwich.

The Sirracha tops it off with a seasoned sauce blend that enhances the sandwich as a whole.

The Triple D Melt is absolutely amazing and I have fallen in love. LoL

Great food. Great service. Great experience. All around greatness. Thank you to the staff and creator of The Grilled Cheese and Crabcake Company. My experience...

Tourist trap — locals, skip it. My mother-in-law makes a better grilled cheese, and she’s not on TV. Took 20 minutes to get basic food with no other customers in sight as I was impatient anfter 10mins for a super simple meal and walking around inside the store, the kitchen is hidden by a wall. I walked to where I could see inside the kitchen instead of cooking our food. I noticed the cook and the helper were back bullshitting while the cook was eating some food. The cheese sauce on the fries? Cold, gloopy, and straight out of a trash can. One bite turned my stomach.had to ask for plain fries to replace them with which they happily obliged.

Grilled cheese with bacon and tomato was edible that’s it. Crabcake? Meh. This place coasts on Guy Fieri hype from their New Jersey spot — but fame doesn’t equal flavor.

Won’t be back. While we were eating, the owner kept sitting there leaning against the counter, so I felt obligated to bullshit with him. He was trying to tell us how he has regulars that come by weekly multiple times a week all excited about his booking at EDC in Orlando sorry bud, but you’re not gonna make it very far. If you’re gonna use the cooks that cooked my meal there was no love into that at all.. Not sure who the regulars are, but they either don’t cook or don’t care. I was not brought...
