We sat outside on a beautiful Easter Sunday. Weather was perfect and love music was fantastic. First time visiting this restaurant and we will be back on our next trip to Daytona. I couldn't decide on what to get because there were a few that caught my eye. Appetizers- pretzel and ahi tuna. Both great but that tuna was yummy! Mahi BLT Fried fish and shrimp basket Grouper dinner with jacked potatoes and hush puppies. (This was mine and it great!) Shrimp Alfredo Dessert- banana foster Now, this is the first time I've had this dessert so I have no comparison but it was delicious. Odd thing to add but the vanilla ice cream was really good! Waitress (Joy) was efficient, offered great suggestions. read more

This is a nice spot at the marina with good outdoor seating. The indoor decorations are nice as well, even the bathroom. The server was attentive, but several mistakes were made with our orders. It wasn't a big deal. It just seemed kind of like the attention to detail really wasn't there. And we were there during an afternoon lol so it wasn't like they had a lot going on. That being said, the food was decent, the portions reasonable, and it wasn't overly expensive. I think we'd probably come back and give them another try at some point. read more

We stopped by Caribbean Jack's in Daytona for lunch. Got immediate seating out on the deck with a great view of the Intercostal waterway. We ordered a couple of fish, Rubens with coleslaw and hush puppies. They were absolutely outstanding. I had a sweet Arnold Palmer and the server was very attentive checking on us and keeping my glass full. The sun was shining and it was 78°. Perfect weather listen to a guy singing and playing the keyboard. He was buskering. Look it up. read more

It was my birthday and I told my husband I wanted to try Caribbean Jacks. Best decision!! We were seated outdoors right next to the water, best seats out of all of them. Our server was very friendly and knowledgeable. She took our drink order which was the Kick-Ass Margaritas in the souvenir tumblers. After serving us our drinks she took our food order which was I ordered the fried fish basket with fries and pickles. My husband ordered the fried fish and shrimp basket with fries and pickles. The fish was delicious, lightly battered and very moist, the fries were seasoned perfectly and just as good. The shrimp was also lightly battered, plump, juicy and fried perfectly. The atmosphere was perfect, large outdoor dining spaces as well as inside. Views absolutely beautiful plus live music! We will definitely be returning. Great service, food, drinks and atmosphere. read more

Caribbean Jack's - Calamari & Seared Tuna - Caribbean Near Me - Daytona Beach, Florida

This is a cute restaurant located at a marina, that offers both indoor and outdoor seating. We went for lunch and were seated immediately. The food came out quickly as well! Service was good and the waiter did a great job taking care of us. I ordered the jerk chicken sandwich with a side salad. The salad was very fresh and yummy! The chicken sandwich was really yummy too, and the chicken was pretty juicy! I have mixed feelings about the large piece of chicken on the smaller bun, but that wasn't really a big deal. The only thing I really didn't like was how expensive everything is. I avoided getting most of the items on the menu because they were at least $20. I'm sure the food is all quite tasty, but it seemed pricey to me. read more

Joey made my time an absolute delight! Excellent recommendations, a wonderful attitude, and really took care of me--especially in navigating the menu, which has so many unique dishes and options. I normally say "give me the works!" But I had a few specifications for my meal and Joey was so kind to tell me how to modify my meal to meet my dietary needs. He was not impatient with me but took the time to explain the different options and ensured that I had plenty of time to look over the menu and all my options and recommendations. I ended up with the scallop and shrimp with cavatappi pasta, which was delicious! The shrimp and scallops had a great texture to them, and the pasta and vegetables were a great match. I added the gator bites and they had some spicy seasoning and sauce that really hit the spot! The texture and flavor was really interesting and I enjoyed it tremendously! It paired extremely well with the different components. Finally, the bananas foster was absolutely, as Joey put it: "out of this world"! For one person, even as dedicated as I was, I couldn't quite finish the ice cream but I loved the depth of the hot syrup on the sides, the bananas, and the puff pastry worked together so well! I think 3-4 people would be just right for this dish . To Caribbean Jack's and to Joey in particular, thank you for making my visit memorable and next time I'm in town, I'll be sure to stop by again! read more

I NEVER am disappointed with Caribbean Jacks. Still one of my favorite spots in Daytona. Michael the bartender and our server was awesome. He was prompt and knowledgeable with the menu and even got us hooked on boom boom sauce with gator bites. Yep we started off with them and then split a jerk chicken sandwich. The whole vibe was a thing and I mean that by being a positive thing. Go here and tell them I sent ya. They don't know me personally but they'll be happy you came. read more

Great seafood restaurant in north Daytona Beach. wonderful selection of fresh seafood in a fun and festive setting on a marina. All of our generously portioned food was delicious and cooked perfectly. My wife had the salmon dinner served with dirty rice and perfectly cooked vegetables. I had the grouper sandwich with a generous portion of fishe served on a bun with again, perfectly cooked mixed vegetables. For dessert we had one of the best key lime pies I've had and gigantic split chocolate brownie with four scoops of vanilla ice cream in between the layers with whipped cream cream chocolate drizzled on top of the dessert and on the plate--needless to say it was out of this world and could easily serve 4 people! The service was warm, inviting and professional. This is the place that we go whenever we're in Daytona and we'll definitely be back. read more

So thankful we decided to come here on a Tuesday! Amazing Happy Hour Deals!!! We got so many wonderful happy hour deal for just $10! Including wonderful drink specials!!! Got a delicious margarita for $7! I also have to give some huge applause at the peel and eat shrimp appetizer! Nothing makes me happier than when the shrimp is already deveined. Every app was amazing: chicken nachos, seared tuna, soft pretzels! The icing on the cake was our server Michelle, she was so sweet and caring! It was like being served by family! Would definitely ask for her again! You can't beat the view, vibes, breezy riverside location and cocktails! read more

I had seen this restaurant from the bridge on prior drives through Daytona Beach and decided to give it a try today for lunch. The outdoor space is great with wonderful views of the water. The menu offers about a dozen appetizers, four salads, burgers and sandwiches, tacos, and entrees. I chose the coconut crunchy shrimp salad. It came with six delicious coconut shrimp. The description on the menu also mentioned mixed greens topped with mango pineapple salsa, toasted coconut and house made croutons. However, there were no croutons on my salad. It was mainly mixed greens. Upon a return visit I would probably try something else. read more

Again driven by Caribbean Jack's quite a few times. Right on the water by a marina. Finally decided. Decided on Sunday morning start with a bloody mary for me and mimosa for candyce. Really good selection on the menu for seafood and landlubers. I had the mahi BLT and candyce had bacon cheese burger. Both of us tried the rice for sides. Place is really nice with seating inside by water with a great view of river Place is definitely a good place to catch for dinner or lunch. read more

We sat at the bar outside on the water, overlooking the water and boats. There was live music and a great breeze. The burger was delish and so was the calamari. Kim at the bar was very nice and attentive. The wait was a little long to get our food but that's ok. I would come back. read more

When we arrived, the kind hostess said it would be a ten min wait, and we waited maybe two min. We were seated and given an exact amount of time to figure out drinks and our waitress Joy arrived. She is clearly a pro and did not keep us waiting, nor did she pester us. Drinks we had modified arrived promptly and our appetizers not long after. We had the pretzels and the gator bites. My daughter had never had gator and it was great! We both had pasta, the Jerk Chicken and the Chicken Alfredo. Pasta was al dente and chicken fresh. Jerk chicken had a little too much sauce and I was getting full so I didnt eat all of it but it was still great and Joy took it off my bill, we didnt even ask! Desserts were awesome, definitely made for sharing but we couldnt agree on what to get. Highly recommend this restaurant with Joy as your server! read more

Tried a new seafood place in Daytona!! We sat near the marina in a booth that swings and gives the impression you are on a boat! Super waitress, very helpful with menu choices! We started with the crabby patties!! Nice flavor with added pinch of remoulade sauce! I tried the fish of the day, it had a nice jerk seasoning but not overly spicy! My husband tried the blackened salmon with Caribbean slaw and potatoes, definitely nice choice of different sides!! read more

We went when we were out our house searching. They have a super small parking lot. Definitely seems like a place for the locals or maybe the snowbirds service wasn't that great everything took a lot of time from waiting for our seats to the waiter greeting us to order in our drinks, getting our drinks, skin in our food. I usually expect to spend an hour in a restaurant. We were there for 2 1/2 hours. This is definitely a bar environment. Probably best for drinks and finger foods. read more

Food was very good. Happy hour is a great time to go. The bartender Mike, was very friendly, and when we went for lunch a few days later, the wait staff was very accommodating. Spinach Artichoke dip was excellent. The outdoor seating was fun, sunny and with a little breeze. Great place. read more

Daytona is our home away from home. Carribean Jacks was a jaw chopping experience from the views and the vibe. I settled in with buying a collectors glass with my Miller lite draft. I forgot what wifey ordered. On second thoought she ordered the dirty rice with the crab cakes. I had the sweet and sour jerk chicken pasta which had the sweet and sour thing going on. I would have loved more pasta in the dish. Madamoiselle had the lump crab and the dirty rice. 2 beers and I was in. Wife had a fruitiful cocktail. Now, we are off to the beach to play in the sand, reminisce about the last time we were in Daytona! Good night all! We will be back. read more

We took a little trip over to Daytona from Orlando today that included lunch at Caribbean Jack's, and boy was it worth it! This restaurant is on the river and has some amazing outside seating. We sat at one of the "glider" tables closer to the water and it had a little cover over it. We got there when they opened at 11:30 and were able to get a table right away and got a great view of the dock and water. For our appetizer we got the Sesame Crusted Tuna. It was sushi grade ahi tuna coated with black and white sesame seeds and pan seared rare. It was sliced and drizzled with their signature huli-huli sauce. It was SO good and the perfect started to our meal. For my main dish I did Jack's Caribbean Tacos with Blackened Mahi. It came with Dirty Rice and Pineapple Salsa. It was so fresh and delicious and was a large portion of food. My husband ordered the Crabby Patty Sandwich, which is made with a fresh, homemade Florida style lump crab cake that is deep fried. We both loved our meals!! I cannot recommend Caribbean Jack's enough and we cannot wait to come back here and bring our family and friends. It is a great spot away from the touristy part of Daytona! read more

The food was great! My fav part was peeled shrimp and fries! Their fries were very tasteful and we ended up to order only fries again! Lol...Their shrimp was very clean, fresh and don't have fishy smell so the quality talks! The restaurant is the last building in front of water and its interesting why the name of the restaurant is in large yellow building in front...It confused us! I know they put the restaurant name in bigger building to make sure is eye catching but it made us to walk around the yellow building lol. The parking could be tricky if they are busy so be careful with the time of attending... read more

Service was great! Food not seasoned and came out cold on a hot plate . But our server was on point and corrected the action.

The cocktail was perfect as was our server Abby! The nachos left a little to be desired. Needed many things to make them really delicious. They need to change their recipe and add at least some black beans, some jalapeños and whatever else they can think of in their kitchen to have patrons jump for joy while eating them! read more

Food was very good!! Service was excellent and the drinks were fantastic!! Cute place in the marina, lots to look at and it's still quaint.

This review is about the ambience and service only; I ended up not ordering any food at this place. Yelp shows the health inspection findings. The one positive was customer service, which made this a two star review instead of one (wish zero was an option sometimes). Visiting FL, I'm perplexed how this place has a higher rating than other restaurants on the actual beach with fresh food. This restaurant is in a docking area and the patio felt gloomy even on a nice sunny day. There is no beachfront view and it doesn't offer Caribbean food as the name implies. The parking lot was full of cars but the restaurant didn't seem to have many customers. When you enter it feels like a gimmicky old time restaurant/ tourist shop and dark bass pro style decor. The menu is no different from a typical restaurant away from the ocean in somewhere like Temple TX. I stared at the plain menu and dirty floor (lots of trash under the tables with bench seating). I decided not to order anything and more so glad after reading the health inspection findings I saw on Yelp. The one shining hope is the customer service - the hostesses were quick to greet my party and the waiter was jolly and polite. I wish them well. Maybe this is local favorite? If mgmt. would like to improve foot traffic from visitors, here are a few suggestions: 1) change up the menu and lean into what makes Daytona better than any old restaurant elsewhere in the country; 2) change the decor and clean up - brighten up the place and pare down on the gimmicky decor; 3) add some entertainment options. read more

I love the view. The food can be great. Service is also nice (we got a French server last time)... But the live music makes a big difference. Sometimes, during winter they turn on the propane fire pits which makes it really great for a romantic getaway. I also love the rocking benches. Cool place. Cool store as well. Parking can be tricky during busy hours. Great place to watch the 4th of July fireworks read more

Got here for an early dinner and it was packed. We were seated almost immediately. We did wait a few minutes before we were acknowledged by our server but after that everything was quick. He was quick and efficient. It's your typical Florida seafood restaurant. Nothing stood out on the menu. I was surprised they didn't have crab legs. Ended up ordering the sweet and spicy jerk chicken pasta. It had great flavor but a tad too sweet and not the traditional heat you get with jerk chicken. The sauce was kind of runny and the pasta was probably too al dente for many, but I like a little chew to my pasta, so I didn't mind. Given its on the water it was reasonably priced. $91 for 3 people and that includes 2 cocktails. read more

Fantastic food, service, & atmosphere! We started with the house salad and it was great enough for 3-4 people. The key lime honey mustard dressing was great. I thought the cornbread croutons didn't go with the salad though. Hubby had the grouper jerk style with the Jacks potatoes- highly recommend! I had the jerk chicken tacos. I loved everything! The mango salsa was a hit. We even bought t shirts :) read more
