Hello all! My family and I are taking our first WDW trip this March! We are very excited. We are taking a day away from the parks to go see the KSC and explore Cape Canaveral. My big question is what is good to eat in the area? Budget really is not an issue, but we do have a child age of 9. So we do need a place that has good options for our picky kid! Also we have a family member with allergy concerns with shellfish and onions. So some place with a good rep about working with allergies is a major plus! Besides that we are pretty open minded. Thank you for recommendations!!!
 
The Kennedy Space Center (KSC) Visitor Complex is fairly isolated. According to Bing Maps, it's a 17 minute trip from the main land (US-1 and SR-405) and the Visitor Complex. Due to that isolation, I wouldn't recommend leaving KSC for lunch. That plan would take up to much time, in my opinion.

If you're looking for breakfast or dinner, there honestly aren't many options without taking a detour. The direct route between Orlando and KSC is:
  • State Road 528 (Beachline Expressway) to:
  • State Road 407 (Challenger Memorial Parkway) to:
  • State Road 405 (Columbia Blvd), which turns into:
  • NASA Parkway W (shown above).
As I recall, the trip is mostly miles of nothing. Once you get close, you might find a fast food joint or two next to a gas station. To get to anything resembling civilization, you'll need to detour north to Titusville. It's not a huge detour...just 15-20 minutes depending on traffic.

Perhaps someone else has more concrete suggestions. But, I wouldn't be surprised if you don't get many responses, as Titusville isn't a big tourist draw. Most people will bypass it and just take the most direct route between KSC and Orlando.
 
Hi, I live 5 miles from KSC in Merritt Island. In Titusville, I would recommend Shiloh's steak & seafood, Lloyd Have Mercy, Kelly's Smokin BBQ and Playalinda Brewing Brix Project.
If you head south from KSC toward Cape Canaveral you may want to try Grills at the Port, Papa Vito's, Thai Thai, Sage Bistro, Grahams Smokehouse. Google around and if you find another place you are interested in, I will get you more info. Enjoy your trip!
