    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.

    Went for Happy Hour. Sat Outside Bar which is beautiful on the Halifax River. Water makes it calm. Bartender was friendly welcoming & attentive, especially for having a full bar w/ no seats & solo. I tried $10 appetizers happy hour specials. Ordered the Seared Tuna & Calamari. Delicious fresh & refreshing light but filling.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    Great spot to catch a sunset--the views alone make it worth the visit. The food was solid and enjoyable, and the service was friendly and attentive throughout. Overall, a nice place to relax, take in the scenery, and have a good meal.

    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!

    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.

    chicken jerk pasta

    food was tasty. felt a little bit like an applebees to me. our waiter Jason ( jace?) was awesome though. our food was tasty and i really liked my chicken pasta. very interesting sweet and spicy. pretty view looking out at the water and that's what i was looking for.

    Out back on the deck.   Very nice but a bit windy and chilly that day.  We ate inside

    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.

    Burger
    Bonnie G.

    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.

    Brownie dessert
    Jennifer D.

    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!

    I came to McCoy's Rum Room while traveling solo in Daytona beach for a weekend (and was staying at…read morethe Hilton). I REALLY enjoyed my experience here. I felt it was difficult (within walking distance from the Hilton) to find nicer bars where you could lounge, enjoy the ambiance, and also have a nicer selection of wine and spirits. So I'm glad I (literally) didn't have to walk anywhere to enjoy exactly that. This is what made my experience at McCoy's Rum Room great: - I love the decor. The plush couches. The finishes and thoughtful touches they added (like the lighting and curtains). The space comes together nicely, is airy and spacious, welcoming and posh. - I liked (not loved) the drink list. The wine selection for red was on point, bubbly was a little low class, but the cocktail list seemed fun and I enjoyed a Raspberry Collins - Which the bartender was happy to accommodate my additional asks (less sugar, extra lime) and in general, he was SO friendly, attentive and nice. - They have a short but GOOD bar food menu that included bigger items (like burgers) and a nice selection of light bites (I had the hummus plate, which was really nice, and also quite inexpensive ($8) and LARGE). Good thing I was drunk and hungry. I really enjoyed this bar. I recommend it and when I come back to Daytona and stay at the Hilton, I'll definitely be back!

We came for lunch and honestly didn't want to leave. Our server Brooke was the kind of person who makes a restaurant great. Attentive, upbeat, and genuinely welcoming from the moment we sat down. She had great energy and made our whole group feel taken care of without ever being intrusive. Ask for her if you can. The food was outstanding. We ordered the ahi tuna pizza -- a crispy flatbread topped with fresh raw tuna, avocado, sesame seeds, and a drizzle of spicy aioli and teriyaki glaze. It was stunning to look at and even better to eat. The blackened fish sandwich came loaded with fresh toppings and paired perfectly with the golden fries. The grilled chicken tacos were generous and well-seasoned with a mango salsa on the side that really popped. We also got the coconut shrimp -- beautifully fried with a honey mustard dipping sauce -- and our little one loved the chicken bites and fries. Don't skip the gator bites either -- a true Florida experience, perfectly crispy and served with a honey mustard that kept us reaching for more. Everything tasted fresh, like it came straight off the boat. We toasted the afternoon with margaritas on the rocks and honestly couldn't imagine a better setting -- salt-rimmed cups, ocean breeze, the sound of waves just a few feet away. Yes, the prices are a step up, but when you factor in that you're sitting steps from the beach with food this fresh and a view like this, it's worth every penny. If you're passing through Daytona, make a point to stop in -- you won't regret it.

As many of you locals know, these events can last anywhere from four days to almost two weeks which allows multiple opportunities to visit annually, hang out with friends, see all the great shows and have some awesome food and drink. If you have never been to the Full Moon during a motorcycle event you should definitely give it a try. All the concerts are free, the beer is relatively cheap and the girls are beautiful! If you only have a chance to see one band while your here, mark your calendar for Rockit Fly, they pull the biggest crowd and it is always a blast. Rockit Fly is a local favorite and all of the members are personable and easy to talk to. Twisted tea is $3, Bud and Bud light is $4, Yuengling is $5. There are multiple food vendors on site providing items like: large turkey legs, sausage and peppers, chicken on a stick, funnel cakes, french fries, loaded fries, loaded nachos, corn dogs, large pork chops, Philly cheesesteaks, brisket, ribs and much more. Note: it can get loud in here so bring earplugs as a precaution. There are times when I have no problems at all but if I've been listening to bands all day it's nice to know that I have them if I need them. Additional Note: There is minimal seating at the Full Moon but there are bar ledges on the perimeter of the entrance off Main street where you can lean, take a partial load off and watch the bikes go by. The main stage is outdoors with tons of room for large groups. There is also an indoor bar in the back (by the food vendors) with another stage where secondary shows/contests take place in the air conditioning.
