Good thing a dozen was enough for me and my foodie friend. Some of the crabs were medium sized though. No eating at the premises, best to take out and enjoy where there's shade or AC. We took our time eating the well seasoned steamed crabs as we looked out the window with ocean view. We ordered medium spicy with a side of garlic butter. Delish ! Call ahead for your order as they were almost out of blue crabs when we got there a few minutes after 2pm when she said they're available. I forgot to ask why all the crabs were male. If they sold female crabs and knew it was cash only it would have been 5 stars.

What a great find! We visited Macker Seafood on the 4th of July and had a wonderful experience…read more Everything tasted incredibly fresh. The clam chowder was rich, hearty, and loaded with clams and other delicious ingredients. We also took advantage of their happy hour special with $1 raw oysters, which were fresh and delicious. The fried fish and fried shrimp specials were both excellent--lightly battered, perfectly cooked, plump, and juicy. We paired everything with a couple of beers and sweet tea, and it made for a fantastic meal. The service was outstanding. Lauren, our server, was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. Brian and Mama were also so welcoming and accommodating, making us feel right at home. We really enjoyed the laid-back atmosphere, the clean restaurant (including the spotless restroom), and the background music, which was at just the right volume. We'll definitely be back. Highly recommend Macker Seafood if you're looking for fresh seafood, great service, and a relaxed dining experience!

Very nice little place; limited menu and drink selection (just beer and seltzers, I believe). What…read morewe had was very good and service was fine ut a bit quirky; the waitress was very chatty and seemed a bit spaced out at times (when we went in, 3 tables were seated, 3 or 4 empty and nothing on them, but she said it would be a while before they'd be wiped clean). We had chowder, raw oysters, lightly blackened mahi-mahi and peel/eat shrimp. No complaints with any. Peel/eat shrimp came with potatoes and corn, too-- nice surprise. Mahi-mahi came with tasty fries. Just a simple little place with basic menu; I guess I was hoping for a bit more variety and different dishes, this being the 3rd day of seafood fest! No complaints at all, but there are other places in the area with very good seafood, full bar, seating on the water, etc. (I thought this place could probably charge much more, being just as it is, if it were anywhere near the actual beach or waterway).

The place was very busy, however…read more Started with one of the best tasting and packed bowls of Clam Chowder we've ever had (excellent). My wife had the Stuffed Flouder and I had the Seafood Mac and Cheese. Both were incredible. Light and delicate sauces, not overpowering, as so many area dishes are ... Riptide does it right, with mild flavors that accompany the seafood, rather than try to be the source of the flavor. The stuffing was a wonderful combination with the mild Flounder and the cheese sauce a marvelous pairing with the delicate Scallops, Shrimp, and Crab in my meal. Nicely prepared and presented. I'd give our meal 5 stars, but the $35 and $36 price tags detracted from what otherwise would have been an incredible evening meal. We will definitely come again.

This has been one of our favorite places to go while in Daytona. Tonight did not disappoint…read more We were seated immediately at 6 o'clock on a Wednesday.

I chose to sit outside (something I normally don't do) since it wasn't very humid. River Grille offers a diverse menu that mixes a bit of Cajun influence with southern cooking. I placed an order for the Bayou Hurricane, some gator bites, and Citrus Bourbon Salmon served with my choice of two sides (red beans & rice and garlic mashed potatoes). As I was enjoying my refreshing cocktail, the server brought out the gator bites. It was my first time trying them, and they were actually the best thing I've ever tasted. The Cajun remoulade complemented the texture of the alligator, which was fried perfectly and wasn't chewy. The deliciousness continued with the salmon. It was grilled nicely and topped with a tasty sweet citrus bourbon bbq sauce and onion strings. The red beans & rice was cooked to a soft consistency and the mashed potatoes was creamy and flavorful. I would describe my outdoor dining experience as pleasurable --that is, until a squirrel appeared and started going around the tables as if it were a regular patron. It was all smiles until the squirrel climbed up the chair, propped itself on the table, and looked straight at me as if to say, "Hey, you gonna eat the rest of that salmon?" I knew it meant me no harm, so I didn't freak out; however, I wasn't sharing my delicious salmon with it. I slowly grabbed my cocktail with one hand and the plate with the remains of salmon with the other hand as the squirrel scurried toward me. Luckily, two servers saw my predicament and came to shoo the squirrel away. Well, that killed my appetite. I asked for a container for the leftovers and ordered dessert to go. Don't get it twisted, I'm not deterred from coming back, it will just be indoors next time.

Excellent service, very nice upper deck outside with ocean views and the best corned beef hash…read moreever! It was a rainy Thursday morning 10:30am. Not many people out n about so I couldn't really get a vibe for what the place would be like when it gets busy. But it was a great spot for breakfast and we sat on the rooftop area inside so it was covered from the rain, but I can't wait to go back someday for the outside ocean front deck, even closer to the water. I ordered the Irish Benedicte with hash that is homemade on premise with slow roasted corned beef. Very tasty. The side of Home fries were thinly sliced and I had gravy added to that so it was tasty too. Our server was excellent, Trevor was a very nice guy and he recommended we come back for the all you can eat ribs. I wish I was staying in town longer and I would. I'll make a point to come back next visit.
