I have to start out by saying that I absolutely love this place and as such frequent it quite often. Paige is our service professional today and she has a fantastic personality. At the onset of our introduction, I became paranoid as I thought she knew I was a restaurant critic and she wasn't happy about that. However, it turns out she just didn't like me on general principle, which, if you ask anyone who knows me, is perfectly understandable as I sometimes aspirate the joy out of people just by being there. It's a gift.
I love this place because they have the single best-designed, not tastiest, burger in Brevard. Their lobster burger medium rare may not be the best burger in the county, but it certainly is unique and delicious. As such, I ordered the Lobster Burger Medium-rare and an order of Fish Tacos with Mahi-Mahi.
Paige soon returned laden with my grub and setting it down, perfunctorily turned away to perform other duties. Over the many years I have been coming here, I have had this dish poorly and exquisitely served. Today it was above average. The patty was more medium than rare, but the lobster was oh-so succulent and the accompanying Parmesan fries were divine on the palate.
Reluctantly putting the Lobster burger to the side, I focused on the Mahi Mahi Tacos. They offer these with Salmon as well, but Salmon, to me, has a high degree of risk as to freshness, and the cook this day was struggling a bit, which is why I went with the Mahi Mahi. With that being said, the tacos were delectable and well above average. Something was a bit off, maybe the salsa or the seasoning on the fish, regardless they were a solid B+.
During the many years I've eaten here, I've found the food to run the gambit from A+ - B+, but nothing ever below that mark and so the Big Boy says. "Go. You won't get a bad meal no matter what you order or who is slinging the slop." I would be remiss if I didn't add that on a personal note, I am highly disappointed that with the name "Too Cool Cafe," they don't have any mention of Grandmaster Sexay, Scotty 2 Hottie, or Rikishi in...
Read moreGreat place. Wonderful food, a bit messy because we got their burgers but that’s expected 😉. Very good food, checks all the boxes of a good burger, I suggest unless u have a very large mouth and hands. Do not get an extra patty on your burger as I did, because the patties are very thick and makes it a monster of a burger when it’s already pretty big. Very good service. Our waiter Paige had excellent energy, amazing social skills, and great efficiency when waiting on us and others from what I saw. I “made my own”burger, and got a side of parm fries and it was so good. My mother which was there with me Got their lobster burger with a side of parm fries and she said it was amazing. And I also got one of their lava cakes in house which Paige doctored up with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and caramel and fudge drizzle in which Paige was excited I ordered in rather than to go because “she enjoys dr’ing it up” clearly a lady who loves the food, loves her job and doesn’t well. Thanks Paige, and thanks to the two awesome cooks who made our food. We will definitely be back again soon! P.s. they also had some really cool signs and art in the walls. P.P.S the mens bathroom is pretty clean, well maintained and has some nice touches like a mouthwash dispenser and air freshener if you need them alongside some funny...
Read moreSmall little place across the banana river that has some amazing desserts. Honestly the best part of the meal that I had was the dessert which is what they are known for, Bread Pudding. It is made fresh daily by the owners and they take a lot of pride in how it tastes. Every bite was just spectacular, the crunchiness of the top layer which is done with a blow torch, the softness of the bread and the flavors are amazing. It is served with vanilla ice cream with a caramel drizzle, and a heavy whipped cream with a strawberry. Getting a little bit of everything in every bite somehow makes it taste better. The omelettes were ok, nothing too fancy. They had some unique flavors such as the special for that day which happened to be a Thanksgiving dinner omelette which had fried turkey, cranberry sauce, green beans, a little mashed potatoes and cheese. The flavors were not bad, just felt like it was underwhelming for my expectations. The cafe is very small and they definitely recommend reservations because of the size and not a lot of seating inside, they do have outside seating. The ambiance of the restaurant included a lot of funny sayings on the wall and a lot of puns, which are my...
