Located in Daytona Beach by the lighthouse in Ponce Inlet, this is a great stop with an amazing view along the river! The service was quick and hospitable. The prices are mid-range, but the quality of the food surely justifies the numbers. You can sit either indoors, or outside under the roof. Live music at night and the beer is always cold. The fish is fresh and there's plenty of sports on the TV's at the bar. My personal suggestion is the MegaRita! It's pricey, but in no way disappointing! read more

Live in Ponce Inlet and have been going to off the hook for years. we have always had great experiences until last weekend. We all make mistakes and as customers we get that but the way the manager handled taking care of it was the worst ever experienced. He told us to just leave! Didn't even try to correct or make it right. very disappointing especially with all our family in town! read more

Has a relaxed Floridian vibe. The staff were friendly and available when needed without hovering. Everything we've tried has been spot on. We will definitely eat here again. read more

We go to this restaurant often when we are in Daytona. We always sit outside as you are right on the water and it's just beautiful. We've had some dinners which have always been good but our favorite is the fish reunion sandwich with blackened fish. Just delicious as is the corn on the cob (mostly because it's soaked in butter ). Tues and Wed night they have a great happy hour on oysters and Wed is 1/2 price bottles of wine. A great place to go and enjoy the sunset! The service has always been excellent as well. read more

We had a great lunch today! Our server was Anna Grace! Very friendly, attentive and prompt! They had live music today which was very upbeat! We had the fish of the day which was Grouper with a crab beurre blanc sauce! The sides were tasty!! A beautiful area to enjoy on the water! read more

Great food and the best Friday Happy Hour with fantastic music! Not to mention the fabulous sunsets too!!! read more

Off The Hook at Inlet Harbor - Outside - Seafood Near Me - Ponce Inlet, Florida

I had really hoped to be able to give more stars this time around, but can't do it. Oysters were so tiny it was ridiculous-and the shucker does not understand the job. Slicing the muscle that connects the oyster to the shell is critical. He didn't get the memo. The calamari was pretty good. As were the poke tacos and fries and Long Island iced teas. Why did I have to request utensils? But let's talk about what hits you when you first arrive. The smell. Or maybe stench is more appropriate. It is so off putting. Is it sewer, rotting food? I know it's not just the waterfront location. Something isn't right. I had hoped I wouldn't notice it once we sat down at the outside bar, but it came in waves when the breeze came up. Ugh. read more

Very disappointed with our visit. Came in with two elderly people and sat inside. Service was terrible. Bartender and waitress didn't work for us. Waited an hour for the food. French fries were cold but the sandwich was done perfect. I wonder if service inside is worse. We usually eat outside and never had this kind of service. It's now 8:30pm and trying to pay my bill plus it's empty now inside. I love the Fish Reuben here but with cold fries wasn't a good combination. If this review was on service it would be 1 star. read more

Ordered over phone - very hard for them to hear. Wings - very good Chicken sandwich and fries .... Nice portion Burger med with slaw - great char and large portion of slaw. Ready in 25 min Easy parking 2 things that ruined this NO LID on ranch spilled and SOAKED the wings ( we did not ask for ranch So I did not eat the wings) When I ordered I asked her to put the slaw in a cup or separate from burger - NOT done so the bun was also SOAKED - swapped my dry bun from my sandwich to the Burger... such a simple request ! If you are offering take out PLEASE prepare the order for travel. read more

We had a good meal at Off the Hook. The house smoked brisket was great and served in a taco worked well. The trigger fish was cooked perfectly and seasoned just enough so it was not too spicy. Our waitress was great and was there right when we needed her. My only criticism is that the hostess was moving a bit slow and had an attitude. There were at least 6 clean tables open, no line, and she was very slow to get people seated. The band was good and was at a great volume to create a good energy but still allow people to enjoy their conversations. read more

You are paying for the view. The calamari came out it was frozen. The clam chowder just ok with weird spice in it. Fish tacos came out with dry cabbage no sauce, over cooked. We will not be back, $70 and I didn't eat. 1 star is being nice. Do better!!!! read more

We had paella and rock shrimp dinners also had the shrimp and crab dip appetizer with chips. Everything was warm tasted very good. Had a good flavor. We had a very large crowd last moment and our waiter is probably the best waitress I have ever had. She handled a large crowd flawlessly. The place was pretty quiet until we got there. We had lots of fun and would definitely return. We were inside and outside they were playing lots of live music and it sounded wonderful. My fiancé and I were drinking painkillers which I didn't see on the menu, but our waitress said that she could make them for us while I'm here to tell you they were excellent and I highly recommend them. The view outside was excellent. We solved dolphins in the water. The sunset was incredible. I recommend this as a spot to visit. read more

Off The Hook at Inlet Harbor - Paella - Seafood Near Me - Ponce Inlet, Florida

Used to be my favorite place. Food was SO late (about an hour to get our food) and cold. We had a party of 8 on an early Thursday 5:00 pm sitting. Party of 10 came in 30 min after us and got served way ahead of us. Same thing for another party of four after us getting served way first. Then the real kicker was the automatic tip of 24+% on our bill already included - you might not see it (if you don't calculate it yourself you would never know it's 24%). Waiter was just fine but not an automatic 24% fine! Then an additional 3% if you use a credit card. Manager knocked 15% off our bill for the slow service and gave us some extra warm fries (too late), but that didn't really fix things, especially my cold and tiny grouper sandwich that I didn't eat. Used to eat there a lot because my boat was right there and we used to like it. Going to have to cross it off the list. read more

The only reason I gave this restaurant 2 stars is because the food was edible. What makes this experience so disappointing is that we have been coming to this restaurant for many years. And when I say many years, we were here in the 70's when it was the Inlet Harbor Grill and every year after up to last night. We have supported this place, recommended it, and continued coming back despite the fact that there was almost always a wait. After our experience last night, we will never return. We arrived around 6:00 p.m. during the peak summer season and were shocked to find the restaurant nearly empty. Despite this, we were initially told they could not seat us. We even offered to split our group up and sit in separate booths. Eventually, they somehow managed to find two tables they could push together. By pushing those two tables together, we were then considered a "large party" and charged an automatic 22% gratuity. This policy was not clearly posted anywhere that we saw. An 18% gratuity for large parties is customary, but 22% is excessive. The restaurant was also offering 50% off bottles of wine, yet we were charged the 22% gratuity based on the full, undiscounted price of the bottle. Our server did not even open the bottle or pour the first glass. The most disappointing part of the entire evening was our interaction with the manager, Bobbie. In all the years we have been dining out, I cannot remember ever being treated so rudely by a restaurant manager. We tried to explain our concerns, but she would not allow us to speak. She continuously talked over us and showed absolutely no interest in listening to longtime customers. The entire situation left us with the strong impression that they were unwilling to seat us until they could arrange the tables in a way that classified us as a large party and guaranteed the 22% gratuity. We did not walk in looking for a problem. We were longtime customers who came in expecting another enjoyable dinner at a restaurant we had supported for years. Instead, we left disappointed, frustrated, and certain that we will never return. When we arrived, we could not understand why a restaurant that had always been busy was nearly empty at 6:00 p.m. during the peak summer months. Apparently this was a reflection of the management and how the restaurant is currently being run. read more

I loved the patio and island vibes at this restaurant! The menu had good variety, I got the House Salad with Grouper on top which was tasty. If you sit on the patio, WATCH OUT FOR NO SEE UMS. They will get you- bring bug spray!!! The patio was attached to a dock which was fun for my 1.5 year old to see some fish and even a turtle! Fun times. read more

We stopped in for a late lunch and really enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere overlooking the inlet--it was the perfect spot to unwind. The service was friendly and attentive, which made the experience even better. We tried the crab and shrimp dip, which was definitely different than expected--it had more of a chowder-like consistency--but the flavor was great and surprisingly comforting. The salsa was on the runnier side and had a unique sweetness to it, which added an interesting twist. All in all, it was a pleasant meal with a beautiful view. A nice little gem if you're looking for good service, something a bit different, and a peaceful spot by the water! read more

Recently went to grab a cocktail and drinks as a peaceful end to a great day at the beach. We came in around 4 and were seated quickly out back by the water. We were greeted quickly and shown the specials for the day. The waited had little ideas about what to get and the beer options were slim beyond regular colors light or miller light and the like. He made no other drink suggestions and we never saw a drink menu, which I thought was very odd because they are a waterside bar and restaurant. Our drinks were cold, the calamari and fish tacos were good, so we were overall happy. The nice surprise was the live music. Two ladies set up and we actually stayed longer to listen. Very very enjoyable and talented ladies! read more

Drinks and a snack. Great place to people watch and catch up with friends. Good food. Love the view.

Food is great and atmosphere is amazing. The prices are good too and the kids meals have great portions! Highly recommend

We live in the area and really used to enjoy this restaurant. Had lunch there today- our server was very kind and efficient, waterfront atmosphere is amazing, food was less than impressive, and there was an obvious increase in food prices. The restaurant was not at all crowded, no one had food on the deck where we were sitting, and we waited about 35 minutes for food. The ladies restroom was disgusting! Latex gloves on the floor, wet toilet tissue on the floors. Very disappointed! We always loved this place! We will not be going back. read more

The good, bad and ugly -- Good: we were a group of 12 no small children arriving ~5:30 pm mid-week with practically no wait. Nice decor. Server tried his best to make this a good experience but obviously the kitchen did not cooperate AND he had, we think, 3-4 large parties during the timeframe of ours. Bad: Food prep and arrival -- first meal arrived in a reasonable amount of time but it was 20+ minutes before arrival of the last. Each meal arrived individually and piece-meal with sides arriving separately and in many cases the wrong side while some sides never arrived for which we gave up on. A few entrees were reportedly good while others were bad -- either lacking flavor or cold. Example: rock shrimp (the last entree which arrived 20 minutes after the first) was cold and dry, drawn butter cold as were the onion rings which were also way over cooked. Ugly: we expected auto added tip charge, but at 30%+ felt it was excessive on top of the amount charged for the sub-mediocre food prep and sporadic delivery. Will not return nor recommend. read more

RIP-OFF !!! we ate there in July. Grandchildren had drinks in a souvenir , keepsake memento monkey head glass. Waitress charged $ 12 per refill of sprite. Refused to take any off bill.

The food and drinks have gone way down hill!!! They can't even make rice. went for mom's 87th birthday and we were all disappointed. i ordered the paella and the rice was hard. They came back and said need to order something else bc the rice would take too long so I ordered the something else and the rice was worse. I left starving and watched everyone else eat. The manager acted like he did us a favor bc he took the meal off the bill but I didn't even eat it. read more

We spent a nice morning at the beach. This is near, just three minutes from the inlet park. We love the fresh calamari. The option to seat outside along the river or a nice clean quiet inside seating. Our waitress was very attentive always checking in on us. We started with the calamari, the a fish and chips meal it included fries and onion rings with coleslaw . All was cooked clean and fresh tasting. Definitely a place to bring friends and family and enjoy the river view (dolphins) and the live music. An extra not bring cash! Better to pay with cash be credit card read more

Hands down the best oysters I've ever had!!! My family and I recently visited from Michigan. We dined twice at Off The Hook.

This place has been hit or miss since the new owners took over from the original Inlet Harbor. But tonight took the prize. We tried to place a take out order and the receptionist said they were too busy and said it might take 45 minutes. Before I had a chance to say ok, she said they wouldn't take the order. When I expressed my shock, she passed me off to a "manager", who was even more rude and he said that "it's the new policy" that if there's more than a 20 minute wait they aren't taking any take out orders. Happy to know they have so much business they can turn people away without an option. Very disappointed in the attitude. If there was a negative star they would get it! read more

I gave this place a 4 rating only because of the view and service. The food was very disappointing. We had a grilled chicken sandwich with green beans and rock shrimp dinner. The chicken sandwich was good but the green beans were barely cooked. The rock shrimp also was barely cooked which made it very hard to get them off the shell. The only thing good about the rock shrimp dinner was the corn on the cob. read more

bring fido told us about you. it was awesome, you brought our dogs water, and a biscuit. they loved it. we had this fabulous fish reuban. OMG it was delicious. onion rings, and also boiled shrimp just because. a couple of local friends said this was one of their spots they like to go to. I can see why. A giant blue heron stood not far and watched us dine. the staff was so friendly, and seated outside on a deck in the shade next to the bar was perfect. this is a big deck. I would love to come back to this spot next time we come thru and get deeper into the menu. stellar. great views, and great people. read more

After doing some touristy things in Ponce Inlet, we enjoyed a tranquil lunch with a table indoors in the cool A/C and a beautiful wide water view! We had read some earlier reviews and were eager to try Off the Hook ourselves. It did not disappoint!

We really liked our lunch experience and recommend this restaurant! read more

Started out fine with fresh house salad and cold beer. Food took a while to come to table but arrived cold. Not warm at all. Greasy fish and cold. The fries were cold the onion ring cold and hard. This is the 2nd time we got terrible food here. Service was great but this restaurant is consistently mediocre at best. Don't waste your time or money here on food. Enjoy a nice drink and enjoy the view then leave for good food. read more

Stopped by for lunch. Ordered mussels which were old and not edible. One would not open and I cut my finger. We told the manager who came out gave me a band-aide. She took the mussels off but as my finger bled did not feel my salad should be comped too!! In addition, our server Lisa was obviously having a bad day as she was unpleasant, unresponsive, and kept making snide remarks from the moment we sat down. So disappointed read more
