Introduce yourself:

We are honored to join the vibrant community at Destination Downtown Cocoa Beach as Ludz Seafood Express. Our journey is rooted in a deep passion for food, family, and creating memorable experiences. We have been in the restaurant industry since 1994, then Discovery Bay, now Ludz

Foodie Bar & Grill, building a legacy that celebrates bold flavors, southern inspired dishes, blending tradition with creativity. Ludz Seafood Express is just one of our restaurants that is a reflection of that passion, bringing fresh, flavorful seafood to locals and visitors alike in a fast-casual setting, without ever compromising on quality or service.

What drives us every day is simple: it's the joy of seeing people come together over great food. It's our dedication to treating every guest like family because for us, this isn't just business, it's personal.
After decades in the industry, from Cocoa, our beginning to Winter Springs, Downtown Sanford, International Drive, Orlando to Port Canaveral, we remain fueled by the same core values that started it all: Passion. Integrity. Community. Flavor.

Joining Destination Downtown Cocoa Beach is the next exciting chapter in our story, and we look forward to sharing our love of seafood with everyone who walks through the door.
Welcome to Ludz Seafood Express where every meal is made with purpose, pride, and a pinch of Caribbean and Southern charm. Discovered by Tourist; Love by Locals!

What will you bring to the food hall:

We take pride in preparing every dish on our menu, and it’s truly hard to choose a favorite because we pour passion and care into each one. Our menu is inspired by cherished childhood memories—dishes crafted with love by our parents, blending the vibrant flavors of Jamaica with the comforting tastes of home in Cocoa. These meals were the centerpiece of holidays and family gatherings, surrounded by laughter, love, and togetherness. It’s this spirit of connection and celebration that we aim to bring to every dish we serve.
