Grub/Pub Crawl - Titusville, Cocoa Village and Rockledge: Shiloh's, BeachFly, Dirty Oar, BB Rads Coastal BBQ and Playalinda

I tried these spots at lunch and dinner on Friday. The first is on US1 a mile south of the north bridge. The second is in Rockledge off US1 (three blocks) after a right onto Barton Blvd. The third is just north off US1 on 420 (towards the coast) before the bridge. The fourth is back in Titusville on US1 just north of the first. The last is just a bit north on US1 (S Washington) in the middle of town.

Shiloh's - Right on the river. Right across from the launch pad. You can park here ($20) and see the rockets take off. No reservations allowed. Just your normal, overpriced tourist fare. I had a $18 shrimp blt. Good blt. Shrimp were Winn Dixie frozen, small, shrimp bag bad. Fries were ok. Oil was probably too cool. Outsides were chewy. The place is all dark wood. Deck, inside, upper level, bar. Average service. Not to full. A dime a dozen. Rocket watching is probably the only justification. They also charge a 3.5% transaction fee. Pass.

BeachFly Brewing Company - Not much here. A white building. A parking lot. A small outside area. Beer was ok and cheap.

Dirty Oar Beer Company - Patio. Inside. Parking lot. Beer was good and a tad more expensive. More types.

BB Rads Coastal BBQ - Looks straight up franchised. But, they said not. Open for nine months. Still seemed to have its training wheels on. I had the three slider and side meal At $13. It was one of the cheaper options. I chose sausage, brisket and turkey. All mushy. The last two tasted like they had been injected with brine. Average rolls. I chose mac and cheese. Ok. Everything was too expensive. They wanted $28 for a pound of brisket and wouldn't sell less than a pound. Order at a counter. Modern. Orange accents. Pretty busy. Pass.

Playalinda Brewing Company - I have already reviewed there more southern location. This is the original. It is cuter. Waited here for the rocket launch. Nice vibe. Good beer. Many choices.

*I went behind Playalinda and saw the rocket launch. My first time so close. It wasn't that grand. Still good though. Delayed about two times for two hours. I also used my US Parks Annual Pass to go to the beach next to the Space Center after lunch. Water was still cold. It's a nice perk for we locals to get a "private membership" to those beaches and the ones in New Smyrna when we buy that pass. It almost makes sense to buy one just for that reason.
