What is Ron Jons?

[Happy Feet]

Hi.
I've been looking at threads for Cocoa beach and loads of Dibbers mention Ron Jons. I presuming it's somewhere to eat but can someone let me know what sort of food they serve.
We are going to Cocoa beach for the Mars launch on 3rd August and wondered whether to take a picnic, but if we can buy good food there we'll save ourselves some time and eat out.

Its a massive surf shop thats open 24 hours, i didnt see any eating places inside.

There is no where to eat there apart from a drinks machine outside.

If you are into surfing then it is good, otherwise it is a nice novelty once but I wouldn't go in there again.

Thanks for the replies. Not interested in surfing at all so Ron Jons is a no-go. Is there anywhere to eat on Cocoa beach or should we take food?

There is another surf shop next door to ron johns in cocoa beach they do have a restaurant normal/ reasonable prices food not fantastic but we enjoyed it for the price, if i remember rightly there is also a starbucks inside which you have to walk through the restaurant to get to so you could go there if you just want a snack. I do like ron johns not that I surf but they sell nice shoes incl ***** t shirts cossies etc its nice to have a look round

Hi,

I would take a cool box with snacks.

Having said that, isn't the launch in the early morning?

We went to watch one from the beach two years ago and we had to get there about 0630 hrs. Then it was cancelled.

We just took some drinks and then headed off to Dennys for breakfast.

I will keep an eye out for you, we will be on the beach that day too, and also for the shuttle launch.

I will be the tall guy with a Dibb badge.

Have a fantastic time.
