Shiloh’s Steakhouse: Former Rocket Launch Viewing Spot in Titusville

Shiloh’s Steak & Seafood was a waterfront restaurant on the Indian River at 3665 S Washington Ave in Titusville, known for its deck facing east toward the launch pads. It was a favorite dinner-time rocket launch viewing spot — best for SpaceX Falcon 9 launches from LC-39A and SLC-40 and ULA missions from LC-39B and SLC-41, roughly 9 to 13 miles across the river. Note: Shiloh’s served its last meal on January 4, 2026, and is permanently closed. This page is kept as a historical reference; see our viewing locations page for active spots nearby.

Why Shiloh’s Steakhouse Was a Great Rocket Launch Viewing Spot

Riverfront deck faced due east across the Indian River with a wide-open horizon toward the pads.
Only about 9 miles from LC-39A and LC-39B, so rockets were clearly visible climbing over the water.
Dinner service timed well with evening launch windows — watch liftoff between courses.
Far less crowded than the big public parks, with table seating instead of a shoreline scramble.
Easy parking right off S Washington Ave (US-1) on the Titusville riverfront.
