Community Rating
Reviews via GoogleWhat diners say — our read
The reviews here disagree with each other more than they disagree with the grade. How guests are treated tends to be raised approvingly here, averaging 4.8 stars.
The split is 19 positive to 2 negative across 22 rated reviews, with 1 in the middle. 5 stars is the modal score, given by 16 of the 22 reviewers who rated. Conspicuously absent: wait times, which no reviewer brings up.
The inspection lands in between as well: DBPR graded this kitchen a B (84/100), citing 1 high-priority, 1 intermediate, and 5 basic violations. That inspection was on April 15, 2026. The trend across inspections is improvement. Ranked against Volusia County, it is safer than 35% of the restaurants we score. Among the items recorded were potentially hazardous foods properly thawed and in-use food dispensing utensils properly stored.
With both signals pointing the same way, there is little to argue about on this listing. Everything above is computed from the 22 reviews reproduced below.

Great steak tips and awesome service!
-
One of the best Beachside spots on A1A. One of the friendliest staffs I've ever dealt with.
-
Good food and nice view of the beach and ocean. Beachy atmosphere.
-
All of our food was ridiculously undercooked. Came out after over an hour. Unreal amount of flies over the food. Ok live music.
-
The road repavement project plus construction 🚧 is killing Lagerheads now!!! Our erver Ashley did everything but cook! Host,table set up,questions,delivered food,cleared,refilled drinks. I had my usual grilled chicken sandwich which was grilled with a good not salty seasoning, l,t p and slaw. My friend had the Mussels fra Diavolo which were presented not in the spicy Marinara but a surprisingly pungent heavier broth with crisp bread for dipping. If there wasn't traffic,noise,heat from traffic the view would have been beautiful!! Go see them!! Hint drive one or two roads off A1A,come up side street to front to pull in.

I live down the street, so it's sad to see the only good waitresses they get leave after a few months. They no longer sell Hopsecutioner, so you can't get a decent draft beer. The food is only fair and has consistently gone downhill. My wife and I used to eat here regularly, but the horrible live music has completely turned us off.

One of the best restaurants ever been going here for like 9 years it’s crazy good
-
First time going with my family and we loved it!
-
Good food, good drinks, ok prices. The service is VERY EFFICIENT and FRIENDLY. The location is FANTASTIC! The restaurant/bar is directly "almost on the road" across a 2 lane road from the beach. Inside (AC) seating and outside on the deck and between the parking lot and the building "I could literally touch my car from my chair". Great views of the ocean. They had a good live musician playing 70's-90's on the deck when I was there. Nice about that is he wasn't to loud or to quiet. Just right for the atmosphere and the venue. NOTE: I've only been there once 06/14/26 but It is worth coming back. I don't give 5 stars unless it perfect every time.

The seafood boil was amazing, and the other foods looked fabulous.

Beachy Bliss - delicious fish and calamari + ocean view
-
Food and service was really good.
-
Whenever we cruise up to Flagler or St Augustine we always stop at Lagerheads!!! Great bar food, great prices, laid back crowd. Perfect stop for a rain day as well. Best Quesadilla on the beach
-
Great little beach bar with live music. Food is good also.
-
Eh. Fried food about the same as everywhere else. Featured alcoholic drink was pretty weak. Outdoor table was very sticky and coasters were torn, wet, and previously used
-
Best restaurant on Ormond Beach! Food was crazy good and most of the staff were delightful. Highly recommend!
-
Just stopped in for a drink. Sat outside. Beautiful ocean view!
-
Awesome “Dive “ bar/restaurant. Doesn’t look like it would have awesome food, but is by FAR the best food I’ve had since being in Florida this week! Laid back, easy going, comfortable atmosphere, HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

This is mostly a shout out to Christian who works at Lagerheads while he's pursuing a career in law enforcement: Me and two of my friends were headed to Flagler Beach on our bikes. One of my friends dumped his bike hard just north of Lagerheads. I went into the restaurant to ask for some napkins because there was some heavy bleeding. Christian and another staff member handed me a handful of paper towels and then Christian looked out the window at my bleeding friend and grabbed the first aid kit, put on some gloves and came outside to help stop the bleeding. With the paper towels and a butterfly bandage we managed to slightly close the wound and stop the bleeding. Then Christian gets us a bag of ice to help with the swelling. My friend ended up in the ER where he got an MRI and 9 stitches. But the staff at Lagerheads has to be commended. They could have just given us napkins and wished us luck. Fortunately, they employ people like Christian and the young lady (whose name I didn't get but she was awesome too) that genuinely care about people. We will be back soon to enjoy the food and I'm sure what's to be some great customer service. Thanks Lagerheads and Christian!

Great oceanfront dive bar, food is slightly above average pub grub. Sometimes they have live music.
-
