Great atmosphere and delicious food. The smoked fish dip was the star! Served with chips and worked great with draft beer. Also, tried the conch fritters which was also delicious! The staff is great and very friendly ! Went back 2 times while on vacation!! read more

The food is great. The service is great. You cannot beat the beautiful. I think they have the best hamburger around and it's fresh.

We had an amazing experience! We had a private charter from the dock there and they cooked all the fish we caught- could not be any fresher!! Great bar too. read more

Simple menu with plenty of fresh seafood options. Fish sandwich was amazing. Grilled and blackened. Service was attentive. Priced well. Very casual atmosphere that on a beautiful day had a gentle breeze. Right outside the Adventure Yacht marina. Very nice for boat access. read more

A perfect casual spot on the water! Service was outstanding and the food was delicious. Fish Ruben a must have.

Fantastic!! The wait was about 45 minutes, but in all fairness, we had 12 people. Bartenders were on point. Food came out hot, and was really tasty. I got the SHRIMP DINNER with Cheddar Mac and cheese. My sister got a salad with lightly blackened shrimp. All in all, great experience. See pics!! read more

I do recommend this place if you're looking for an old Florida seafood restaurant on the water. The menu isn't extensive and nothing is fancy by any means but it's a local hangout with a marina attached to it. The service has been good and quick Just remember it's a local place and not a fancy chain Food is tasty and served hot read more

Boondocks is always one of our favorites in Daytona area. Really good ambience and great sunsets. Only negative issues is you need to worry about the no-see-ems. But worth a few bug bites. And great service. read more

So this was an interesting experience not because of them but because of our child. We were trying this place for my birthday. We were so excited to try it. We ordered drinks and apps. That's when our son lost his cottonpicken mind. We tried to console him to no avail and the servers were super kind. I asked our server to please pack our apps to go, inhaled my drink and left. Everyone was super understanding about our son losing his mind and told us to please not feel like we had to leave. Many said we've all been there please don't feel bad. We ate the apps when we got home and they were freakin delicious. We will definitely be back without the littlest one read more

My family and I have been going to boondocks for years. I went a few days ago and the face of their business was awful. 4 younger girls NOT doing their job. When they finally acknowledged that we were waiting to be sat it was downhill from there. 3/4 girls sat at one table and talked poorly about their customers. Granted, it happens, but not in ear range of your customers. Calling someone a b!tch isn't really the best way to represent the business. I have never had an issue before and IF I return, I hope it has improved. read more

This place is tucked away on the water behind Ponce Inlet. I've been there a few times. The staff is always friendly and the place has great outdoor seating. The food is ok but nothing to go out of your way for, I usually go for the water front location. read more

I loved this little restaurant! It's right on the water, beautiful view and sunset! The staff was so kind, helpful, and friendly! The food was fresh and delicious! We will definitely be back! read more

Some food was good, some not so much. * Steamed shrimp was not deveined (just a heads up) and some were overdone and not edible. We mentioned it to our waitress, and she didn't even acknowledge it at all or offer a solution. * Grilled shrimp was good. * Onion rings were not good - odd taste. * Tuna dip was good. * Peanut butter pie was good. * Caramel cheesecake was not good. * Service was terrible. We went a long time with no drink refills. When our food came, it was dropped off and then we weren't checked on for a long time. We didn't get some of the things we had ordered, but we had no way to get what we needed so we just did without. We ended up getting silverware off a different table for some of the people in our party. * Bottom line - we will not go back. read more

Boondocks is a must when in Daytona! It never disappoints for the coldest beer in town and the best steamed shrimp! The service is always great and the view of the river is spectacular! My favorite restaurant and holds many wonderful memories of meals past! read more

Living in Central Florida gives us a chance to visit the beach often and we've found some really neat beach spots! Boondocks is definitely one of those chill spots with beachy vibe! The service has always been so friendly and efficient! The food is so delicious and they have very fresh salads and you can top them with your choice of different protiens such as fish! We've also tried their delicious burgers and tune melt sandwiches! However, our favorite is the Tiki bar to just chill and watch the river and boats! It's a bit hidden but well worth trying! read more

Food was good and the fish fresh. The onion rings yummy. Nice view of the marina. The waitstaff pleasant , we went for sunset

Tucked away on the back street of the Ponce Inlet make for easy in out with ample parking. Food was tops, priced on par with other like restaurants and above ave portions. Outside seating with an ocean breeze felt great adding to the great view of the water. Lastly the bad. Service was nonexistent from our waitress. The only blond chick there, can't remember her name, took our order and that was the last we saw of her until the end when I had to flag her down for a couple boxes. The girl at the bar stopped by a few times to check if we needed anything along with a gentleman whom I assume was the manager asked if we needed anything a couple times throughout our stay. We'll worth a stop but move to a different table if a blond hands you a menu and says she'll be right back to take your order. read more

Went with a group of 10 from New England. The waitstaff worked together to get what was needed. They did a great job keeping drinks filled even the free refills. The food was a mix. 5* French fries were excellent. Nice and crispy but not burnt. 3.5* Seafood platter the shrimp was excellent as was the fish. The calamari was good. The oysters were ok. The clams were strips that I think were previously frozen and not very good. Also note they are strips not bellies. 3.5 The stuffed mushroom was good needed a bit more seafood. 5* garlic bread was excellent The fish and shrimp were the better parts of the meal. I would come back but would order differently read more

Food, service, prices, view. Everything went well. I haven't found too many restaurants where I live that I really enjoyed the food. The place is being renovated outside. They will be adding an outdoor patio that will be dog friendly. Can't wait. read more

Such a nice surprise. We found this place by accident but will definitely return next time we are heading home from Daytona. The Key West clam chowder is as amazing and they had a BBQ Mac and Cheese was amazing. Also, love that I got to keep the duck that was floating in my drink. Staff was amazing. They work as a team and it really is customer centered environment. read more

This place has been a personal favorite for years. The food is great, but the menu is a bit limited, if you're looking for an expansive selection. It's usually crowded but the staff handles it with ease and they are always friendly. And the view from any part of the restaurant is as good as it gets! read more

Great casual outdoor dining! We split the large garlic bread, and got the half pound steamed shrimp, fish tacos, chicken sandwich, and 2 orders of 3 crab leg clusters. Everything was great. All of the staff worked together to help us and they were all very kind and attentive. Laid back environment, and relaxed outdoor seating. They had a daily special on svedka mixers which were a great deal. Would recommend to anyone wanting a lot of crab legs for the money. read more

We were looking for a place to eat over the holiday weekend and Boondocks was open, had seafood, and was right on the water. It was a hot day but their seating area is shaded and there's a breeze off the water. The cocktail prices weren't bad at all, the craft beer was a bit expensive ($7.50). Our table ordered coconut shrimp, clams in the garlic and white wine sauce, steamed shrimp and chicken Alfredo. Everyone enjoyed their food and the orange marmalade with the coconut shrimp was incredible. The service was great; all the servers were your server so you never had to wait long for one to stop by. Overall, it was a great dining experience on the water it was just a little more expensive than expected for the vibes of the place. read more

We drove about 30 minutes from Seaside to check out Boondocks in a group of 12 after falling victim to roadside billboard advertising. It wasn't my choice and, in all honesty, I expected it to be commercial, overpriced, and sub-standard. I can say humbly that I was wrong on at least 2 of those 3 adjectives (I suppose it was a bit commercial, since it had a gift shop and merch). The place, which has served the community since the 1990s according to some of the posted newspaper clippings, is casual and beachy in nature with an enormous multi-building seating plan and a nice view of the boats docked in the Halifax River. The service was awesome, and our waitress managed our large and occasionally demanding group with ease and charm. The menu is decidedly American with sandwiches, salads, burgers, etc., with an emphasis on seafood and fried stuff. I was a little disappointed that they didn't have raw oysters on offer. The Fried Seafood Combo called my name and I'm glad I listened. The shrimp and oysters were wonderful: not too greasy or overcooked, plus really nicely salted with some zesty Cajun vibes. The clam strips were just OK and I couldn't taste too much outside of salty batter. I should've gone with fried scallops! My fried okra was chewy and fine, but the green beans were actually quite good with a smoky bacon-infused flavor. The quantity was respectable, and I actually took some home so as not to overdose on saturated fat. Boondocks won't necessarily wow you from a culinary perspective, but it will exceed your expectations and makes for a really pleasant family meal. I can't say that I would drive out of my way to dine here, but you probably won't find a better road trip stop or local bite to eat if you're in the area. read more

This is a local dive with some solid food. The views of the marina and water are beautiful. You can come by boat or car. All seating is open and covered. They have a bar with seating as well. The staff all work together as a team and do a great job! The service is fast and the food is hot. We tried the crab bites ($9.99) that were tasty and served with a very good tiger sauce. Next we tried the Mahi tacos (12.99) comes with 2 tacos, pico and slaw that were very flavorful. We added a side of fries that were basic. Last, we had the key lime pie. I hate that it wasn't made in house but it was a decent piece of pie. I spent about $35 before tip. Overall this was a great stop and one we will make again! read more

We had an awesome experience . The food was delicious. The servers were really good asked and alert on our needs. Very prompt service

We stopped by for what we hoped would be a relaxed dinner on the inlet. We were informed that there would be a 55 minute wait for our party of four which was understandable since it was a Saturday night on a holiday weekend. We were given a seating alert devise and we sat on the bench provided. Everyone in our party observed people of the same number, arriving much later than us, given a devise and being seated immediately. The hostess greeted these people with familiarity so we surmised they were regular locals. One person in our party went to the bar to get us drinks while we waited but was treated in the same manner. I can't critique the food because we decided to spend our money elsewhere. If you are not local or a regular I would suggest another establishment. read more

This place was too good. Couldn't recommend it enough. Went with the family and they squeezed us all together (they have an option to get us more tables but we'd rather be all close). Food and drinks were amazing and everybody ate it all. The view was so cool to be on the marina. Our servers were so attentive and sweet. Will be back! read more

Everything is super. Sometimes, when busy the service is slow. But the location, staff and customers are very relaxed.

The food was great, if i was in the area I would definitely recommend, crab legs cooked to perfection and mahi mahi tacos were so yum 10/10

Sampled 2 apps Twisted Spicy Shrimp & Mozzarella Sticks. Both were tasty and ample portions. My fav was the not so Spicy Shrimp. Lunch order was the Famous Fish Ruben w house chips. The sandwich came w 2 fried fish fillets which were ok but next time I'll order blackened fish instead. House chips are fine but lacking spices. Overall everything was good but will switch it up next time. Plenty of bar & table seating available with water & boat views. read more
