We had a wonderful time for a late lunch. I ordered the shrimp tostadas and my husband had the grouper sandwich with coleslaw, others ordered the Cuban sandwich with fries, and Jamaican jerk tacos. The Cuban sandwich had tough bread. We ordered the chocolate cake for dessert. Everything else was amazing and we thoroughly enjoyed our meal. The slaw has wonderful fruity undertones. Very nice atmosphere and our server Valita, was so sweet. She knew the menu and answered all the questions we had.

I went a few weeks ago and as other reviewers have said the food is mid. We ordered the chicken quesadilla for an app and it was good. I then ordered the Cuban and let’s just say not was I was expecting and not in a good way. I did like the sweet potato fries as they were awesome with the apple butter. I wasn’t going to have dessert but the waitress said it was awesome and I love key lime pie. It was solid. I will say you don’t really stop here for the food, I enjoyed sitting outside by the sidewalk with an ice cold beer listening to the live music.

After spending a relaxing morning at Lido Key Beach, we walked over to Cha Cha Coconut for lunch. The weather was perfect, so we chose to sit outside and enjoy the laid-back island vibe.

We started with the Coquina Beach Fruit Cobbler—a refreshing mix of strawberry purée, pineapple juice, fresh lime juice, and a splash of soda. Light, fruity, and just right for a warm afternoon.

For food, we ordered the grouper bites as an appetizer, which were nicely done and flavorful. For entrées, we tried Emily’s Soca Coconut Shrimp, served with island fries, coleslaw, and a spicy coconut mustard sauce—crispy, well-balanced, and very enjoyable. We also ordered the Cha Cha-Cheesy Quesadilla, which was comforting and satisfying.

One thing worth highlighting: I’m sensitive to seafood smell, and they did an excellent job here—no “fishy” or overpowering odor at all, which made the entire meal much more enjoyable.

Parking tip: Parking around St. Armands Circle can be hard to find and is mostly paid. If you’re okay with a short walk, there’s plenty of parking available at Lido Key Beach, which is about a 15-minute walk from the restaurant.

Overall, everything we had was tasty, well prepared, and enjoyable. A great spot for a relaxed lunch after the beach, especially if you enjoy fresh flavors in an easygoing outdoor setting.

My family went here on Christmas Day 2025. We were warmly greeted and sat at one of Heidi’s tables. She is absolutely wonderful. I wore a Mele Kalikimaka santa hat and Heidi immediately connected with me on that with both of our history with Hawaii. It was nice to be treated with such wonderful Aloha spirit and kindness. My family was impressed with Cha Cha Coconuts and we were also obsessed with the delicious food. I highly recommend you check out Cha Cha Coconuts for not only the delicious food and tasty drinks but also the wonderful customer service. Try and sit in Heidi’s section if you can, you will not be disappointed!

Pros: Good, unfussy food that’s approachable for the whole family. Great location with a relaxed vibe and live music. Perfect place to show up in flip-flops and dig into coconut shrimp.Not the spot if you’re looking for something upscale—there are plenty of higher-end options around St. Armands.

Cons: no real cons here, drop in and give it a try.

First time in Sarasota and my husband and I absolutely loved this place from roof to floor!!! On top of the festive decor the food was fabulous! We split the chips and queso, I had the coconut shrimp and my husband had the full rack of ribs! I wish we remembered our waitress’ name because she was absolutely delightful. She had red hair and was born in Michigan if that help figure out who we loved We are staying in Englewood but will absolutely be back before we head home!

Very average. Party of 7 and we all ordered different meals. Voodoo ribs were very tasty. All other items were underwhelming. Cocktails were NOT good, low on flavor and alcohol content. Better off ordering a beer or shots of liquor because they can’t ruin it.
Service wasn’t great either. Mike, our server was a nice guy, but unfocused and disinterested. The place was not busy at all, but it was tough to get his attention whenever we needed something.
I will definitely return to give them another shot, but my expectations will definitely be low.

Really liked it, they have a great happy hour from 4 to 6, half price drinks, Margaritas and Rumrunners we chose were $6.00 and we’re really good, usually a happy hour Margarita at some places are a cheap mix with a splash of tequila, these were smooth with a nice salted rim and garnish, rum runner wad equally as good, Nice appetizers as well and weather on the patio was great, server was friendly and prompt, clean restrooms.
Will be back

Stopped by for a casual bite and ended up having a really great experience. The grouper tacos were fresh, perfectly cooked, and honestly hit the spot more than I expected. Everything came out fast and tasted like someone in the kitchen actually cares.

Ashley was my server and she was amazing ,super attentive, friendly, and made the whole visit feel easy and relaxed. She checked in at just the right moments and took great care of me without it ever feeling forced. On top of that, she has one of those smiles that makes the place feel warmer the second she walks up to the table.

The vibe was fun, laid-back. I’ll definitely be coming back. Great food, great service, and the kind of experience that makes you remember why spots like this stand out.

Definitely a spot for tourists. As long as you understand that, then the food and atmosphere are right up your alley. Good quality and good service. Nice to sit outside and look out to the shops. Live music was playing outside.
