Customer Reviews
Really cute little place. Service was good and the food was decent overall. The firecracker shrimp were the biggest hit for me. Since I don’t like a lot of sauce on things, I asked for the bacon jam on the side instead of on my scallops. The jam is actually really good, just not “my jam” on the scallops lol. Taking off the jam inevitably left the scallops under seasoned. They were still good regardless, but in the future could use a better sear. Side choices are very limited. My coffee martini hit the spot. My significant other got a tuna poke bowl, which he raved about and said was one of the best he has had. My children had shrimp, one fried and one normal. They both seemed to enjoy those.
We had a lovely experience at Koko! The food was delicious and the atmosphere was great! We got firecracker shrimp and coconut shrimp to start both were very good! I got the mahi entree and it was a little dry but still very good! The only downfall was the flies. There was an insane amount of flies and we couldn’t really eat because we were constantly batting those suckers away. Our server Nick was funny and made a joke about being Mr Meeagi. Overall great dining experience and a fun place to eat at the beach! 4/5 🌟
Great place. My husband & I enjoyed it so much. The views from our table, the delicious dishes & tasty bar drinks. The firecracker shrimp was unreal, the poke bowl was loaded with so much stuff & our server Sean was so attentive & kind.
This is the perfect little beach dive if you’re looking to have some drinks right on the beach. I’ve been there twice now once by myself and the other time I took my family. Overall, the service was great and the views are great. The price is a little high, but that’s probably because of the view. I had the burger last time I was there. It was just OK. Nothing bad about it but nothing to write home about. So far my favorite thing I’ve tried is the shrimp nachos, which is almost 20 bucks! So it’s easy to go here and spend 20 to 50 bucks just on yourself especially if you have some drinks. Like I said, it’s about the ambience the service and the view and the food is still very good. Don’t give me wrong. I just think it’s a little overpriced.
Let me preface this review by stating we visited Koko Cabana on Labor Day Sunday night for an early dinner. We waited over an hour for a table, then about 30 to 40 minutes for our appetizers to be brought out (soon after ordering it after arriving at the table). Our meal was brought to us about an hour after being seated. Interestingly, three large tables were being ‘held’ (which led to the long wait time). The waiter was attentive, though the staff seemed a bit understaffed and overwhelmed. The space was filled with patrons and very loud to the point we had difficulty hearing one another.
