Community Rating
Reviews via GoogleWhat diners say — our read
There is no middle ground in these 20 reviews. Opinion on front-of-house is split — those reviews land at 3.7 on average. Price is the next most common subject, in 30% of reviews (averaging 3.0).
Speed of service shows up in 30% of reviews as well, averaging 2.3. The single most common rating left here is 5 stars (12 of 20). 16 of 20 rated reviews are four stars or higher; 4 are two or lower.
On the inspection side the picture is cleaner: DBPR graded this kitchen an A (97/100), with 1 intermediate violations. Whatever the reviews argue about, sanitation is not the weak point. The visit behind that grade was April 21, 2026. Across its inspection history the kitchen is improving, which argues for giving it the benefit of the doubt. Ranked against Volusia County, it is safer than 79% of the restaurants we score. For specifics, the last inspection cited insects/rodents/pests.

Had came in to pick up two separate orders, the workers were all over the place, one even outright ignoring my mother and I as they walked across the restaurant after making direct eye contact with us and raising a brow. The one person who seemed to have a grip on reality, was the nice lady who we eventually put together was a manager after waiting in the building for nearly half an hour with a nearly ten minute wait before hand.

Nice place, lovely view of the beach from the patio. Food was good not great. A little pricey but what I expected
-
The location right by the beach is brilliant and the whole place has a really fun, laid-back atmosphere. The food was very good overall. The shrimp were excellent and the taco nachos were absolutely delicious. One person in our group received ribs that unfortunately weren’t fresh, but the staff dealt with it brilliantly and quickly replaced the meal without any fuss, which was really appreciated. The only disappointment was the drinks promotion. We weren’t made aware there was a limit of two drinks per person until redeeming it, and the cocktails themselves were on the weaker side. Service overall was perfectly fine and we’d still happily visit again.

Pricey but okay for the location

It's right on Daytona Beach.

Cathy was an absolute pleasure!!! Great at her job!’
-
Cathy is the most fabulous!! If not for her the meal would have been basic. She was the star of the entire dinning!! I will definitely be back for her!!
-
kaitlyn was amazing, i love when you can tell people are passionate about their job. we will be back because of her!

Visiting town and stop at this place Lacey made our service experience pleasant. Love buy one margarita and get the second 1/2 off (per person) WATCH OUT for the parking lot police !! Our eating experience was kind uncomfortable knowing that your vehicle can be tow if you decide to put ONE foot on the beach, even if you decide to eat before and go for a walk after.
-
The food was good, but not great. I expected better being on the beach. The service was great and the food came out in a timely manner. The dinning area had several tv's with different sports featured.
-
Great spot for a burger! Heat atmosphere. Great food, great music too! There are indoor and outdoor areas for dining with a sea view. That havarti burger was amazing and we really like the chips. One of my favorite places to eat now!
-
Expensive food. no AC. Super hot came in here with my family, sat down ordered a water and literally had to leave 10 minutes after cause of how hot it was
-
Arrived for dinner at 5pm with family. Service started out great until we asked for a few minutes to order. Server disappeared for 30+ min. She helped the table next to me, disappeared for another 5min and grabbed our appetizer. No Air conditioning, 93 degrees. Nachos were extremely basic and would not recommend. Also everything was overpriced. Nachos 20.99. Needless to say we did not order drinks or dinner.
-
Took 9 people for dinner. We ordered 5 seafood steam pots and the shrimp was wonderful but the crab legs were basically hollow. Each whole cluster had less meat than most individual leg portions. Food was just okay. Would make a decent lunch spot but wouldn’t bank on a nice meal here. Waited wasn’t as attentive as she could have been and repeatedly forgot things such as sauces and one whole meal.

It’s a tourist trap! Our waitress was GREAT! For my girlfriend and I to both get a seafood boil, 1 virgin strawberry dacarti, and 1 lemonade it was $91 before tip. I get that price if when our plates got brought out she got her corn but she didn’t, then they brought us two in return so it worked out so we thought. She ate one then big into the other and it was frozen! The manager took off the price of corn and got us two more. Okay mistakes happen, but the next two were both frozen and we had staff and management feel so they knew we weren’t lying. After we received the 2 frozen corn I went directly to the manager and got told we can have a desert, but they are just trying to quick thaw the corn.. so not a great experience but our waitress was great so she got tipped $30 still which she deserved!
-
Very cool place! More on the expensive side, but the Margs are strong!
-
Great lunch spot. Staff is awesome
-
I was looking for a beach bar in Daytona and this fit the bill. I enjoyed the food, shrimp tacos, an old fashioned and key lime pie for dessert! Followed by a walk in the beach. Good therapy!!
-
They charge a service fee when paying with credit card without any notice before ordering. Everything else was good.
