I had some fries and they were not good. My stomach hurt afterward. Way too expensive for food that wasn't even good. The service was fine. It was clean. There is no beach view or access to the beach. The outdoor area faces the street. read more

A regular for us each year but will probably be our last trip. The tea tasted old, food was extremely bland, and overpriced. Menu shows prices on some items, but others say market price. The market price should be posted somewhere. The oyster prices were the highest I have seen in town during this trip. Our server was great, but we all agreed it's not the same as it's been in years past. The restaurant was also very warm inside, with what seemed like very little air conditioning. read more

Ordered: Royal Red Shrimp (~$14) Half Dozen Raw Oysters (~$14) The Beach Break (~$32): fried grouper and shrimp, fries, hush puppies, and coleslaw Riptide Mixed Grill (~$27): shrimp and steak tips skewered with onions and peppers, topped with lemon beurre blanc, over yellow rice Aya's take: Fresh seafood with tons of variety and a no frills eatery on Ormond Beach. We stopped by for lunch and were impressed with how fresh everything tasted. I highly recommend The Beach Break; the grouper was flaky and tender and the shrimp was very fresh. The Mixed Grill was also a solid choice with tons of flavor. And you can't go wrong with a few seafood starters. Definitely a spot to check out if you're in the area. read more

We had a party of 24 people! Diylan was awesome, friendly and fast ! We didn't want to watch the halftime show. They put on TPUSA ! Thank you for a great night we will be back soon. read more

Food is alway good we visit every Jeep beach however this year bartender was not attentive. This restaurant has started charging for using credit cards however Florida law prohibits charges on debt card bartender refused to remove charge and would not get manager. Make sure and report to AG if it happens to you. read more

First time at riptides and the place was fantastic. The food was delicious and Sasha did a great job waiting on my wife and I. We'll definitely be back. Thanks, Riptide. read more

We fell for the all you can eat crab advertising banner and went there. The crab price was $115 for that. We did not have the crab. We had very good crab cakes and yummy in house made hush puppies. Also had a side of raw oysters. They were small but very tasty. We went about five o'clock and thought perhaps they may have an early bird special or drink special, there was none. Place was sparsely attended since it was a Tuesday. Staff was nice. Not much as far as atmosphere. Definitely nothing to prompt a return visit or extra mention. read more

Tom the bartender was great. Best Philly cheesesteak I've had in a long time.

Ambiance was good, really the only reason we come here. Oysters were slimy and not fresh. Ahi Tuna was alright. Maybe fresh.

We have been coming to this location for many years, and always come back for more! We often split some appetizers & soups, but the entrees and sandwich options are great also! The Riptide Shrimp & Fried Green Tomatoes were what we had today....yummy, and perfect for sharing! Some other appetizers that are delicious and unique to Riptides that we love: Caribbean Chicken Nachos, Rumicane Shrimp, and Shrimp and Avocado Spring Rolls. I can't say enough good things about the soups! The New England Clam Chowder was full of potatoes and clam pieces, and the Surf & Turf Bisque was just as full of beef/shrimp! Delicious! The restaurant is clean, the service is always friendly and pretty fast. The menu has something for everyone, and the drink lists are great! Parking can be a bit tricky, but there are a few options that make it easier! The beach ramp has pay parking, but you can use your phone to pay very easily. There is often complimentary valet at the condo/resort, and there is also a big public park (Andy Romano Beachfront Park) with lots of parking. Out server also mentioned that Riptides has purchased the lot across the street, and there's a crosswalk to keep it safer. Hope you try it and enjoy! read more

We were looking for an oyster bar in Daytona beach so I picked this one out. It's on the street side next to the beach so not the best of the best location compared to some of the beach view options, but the outside patio is still really pleasant regardless of the cars rumbling down the avenue. I split the grouper with my dad. The veggies were great since it's not always easy to get veggie meals in the south. So that was much needed and felt good to my body. The coconut rice was yummy and a fun touch and the grouper was cooked perfectly. Flakey and flavorful. It was a well rounded meal and very enjoyable, and not super filling when split. I also had a side of sweet potato fries and I wish they had cooked then a bit more, they were still elasticy and not so warm and crisp: looked like they came from a store bought bag. My husband had grouper and shrimp and hush puppies. The hush puppies were really good and he got the seafood Caribbean style which he really enjoyed. Overall it was a solid and well balanced meal. read more

Something in this area I naturally doubt. I suspect tourist trap...not here! This is no doubt the best meal we had while on vacation. 6 people including two kids. EVERYONE was satisfied and loved their meals. Even the kids were asking to come back. The Coconut Mahi was served one of the best meals I've had. The margarita was amazing. The shrimp was so fresh and well cooked. The fish was fresh and well prepared. Don't second guess it. Great place! read more

We made a quick last minute decision to go to riptides and I'm so happy we did! The service was great, the food was just as good and the drinks were strong. We had a wonderful time! The coconut cay mahi was incredible and so were the coconut shrimp. During happy hour make sure to get a 32oz beer, you keep the glass and if you come back with a picture of your glass you get the next beer 1/2 off during happy hour! Such a cool beachside place, not to crowned or busy at all. read more

Got the blackened red snapper platter. Huge piece of fish (with skin), awesome hush puppies, very good coleslaw, and black beans and rice. Wife got the steak tips. Overcooked but good flavor. Veggies were good and loaded baked potato was fine. I wouldn't recommend the steak but the fish was excellent and good value $24. Service was good and it was a cool spot. Get a reservation because the wait was very long. read more

Prices were spot on with a beachside restaurant. Serving sizes were large. I had the beach cakes. Amazing. Husband had the lobster mac and cheese. Amazing. Appetizers potato wheels were very good. My two sons had burgers, they were thick juicy patties. Daughter had a kids pasta. $12. They had a live musician, he was phenomenal. Definitely recommend and will go back. read more

Came here while we were on vacation in Ormond Beach. Despite the wait to get in and to get the food, I would say it's worth it. We got the riptide shrimp with hang 10 sauce. The sauce was unique, but paired very well with the shrimp. My friend got a fish platter and I got the Maypory Garlic Shrimp. I'd say this is some of the best pasta I've ever had, and my friend really liked the fish and hushpuppies. I also got a pina colada and a drink called Mermaid Lemonade. The colada is one of the better pina coladas I've ever had. The lemonade was on the heavier side of alcohol, so I personally didn't care for it. Overall, I would highly recommend this place! Fair warning, most items on menu is no substitutions. read more

We've been customers of riptides for many many years. It's always been a family favorite, but last nights dinner was not worth the money we paid. We got two of the margarita buckets at $21 a pop, and the price was not listed on the menu. I had a mediocre burger that was $19.50 plus a $3 gluten free bun charge and one side. My husband's meal was a flounder platter that was $28 that came with 2 sides. My daughter ordered yellow rice that was so crunchy she couldn't eat it. I don't think I've ever left a review for any restaurant, but the quality has gone downhill, especially for the whopping $136 bill we ended up with. They also counted my 1 year old son that didn't get food as a customer so they could charge the large party tip surcharge. It was so hot in the restaurant that we might as well have been seated outside. The waiter was nice and took care of us, but this is likely our last trip to this restaurant, and we hate that so much! read more

So the food is amazing. I also love the atmosphere. But one thing i will say is i was shocked when my bill came bc i spent more then i thought (which was fine). I just went to look at the menu again at the prices and realize the menu has no prices. Why have a menu with no prices. Anyways i do recommend. Their food and service is incredible. read more

Food was good everything was going great until some old burn out named RICK STEFFEN shows up and plays the worst music I've ever heard in my life. Was so loud and rude, my food literally rotted on the table from how horrible his music was. Then his breath crept across the floor to my plate was the craziest thing ever. If Rick isn't playing I highly recommend going. read more

Food was delicious. We were a large group and everyone enjoyed everything. The standout was the rum sauce on ahi tuna. It was superb!!! The ribs and steak tips were also delicious!!! The live music was great. The musician was talented and the speakers in the restaurant carried it throughout the whole place. The service was fantastic. Lisa took great care of us. From quick service to friendly talk and helpful in every way. We celebrated a birthday and she was great bringing out a treat for the birthday girl. You will not be disappointed here, we will definitely return!! read more

We somewhat expected a wait time considering it was Saturday night at 6 PM. The hostess told us 40 minutes, and just under 40 minutes later we were ushered to our table. Our waiter was friendly and fast. We had a dozen oysters that were good size and very fresh taste. After that our meals came out promptly, ride, jumbo shrimp, and garlic shrimp on fettuccine. My daughter and I were pleasantly surprised by the quality, taste, and size of the portions. Again, our waiter was very good. As we started the car, my daughter and I looked at each other and said "I'll go back there" read more

This place was highly reviewed by a friend so we had to try it. Tried to get in several spots but there was no parking, or at least it was full on the beach side and seemed like no spots on the condo side. We finally got there one night and found a spot, and was told a 30 min wait. 12 mins later we were seated inside, in front of a huge projector showing body surfing. The waitress seemed pissed the entire time, and I think it was because she was running around non stop. Every refill or other request took 5 mins and then dessert was a 10-15 min wait. I got the hurricane Mac n cheese and it was amazing. I think 90% of people got crab legs so that's probably the thing to get. We tried the key lime pie and it was terrible. A bit of a mixed bag but I would try it again. read more

Live music out on the patio is a nice way to spend the evening. The fried shrimp was perfect, light and crisp. My husband had the coconut shrimp with a tropical dipping sauce, again, delicious. Service was quick and friendly. Granted, a lot of tourists visit because its viability can't be missed but the locals like it too. read more

I came with my mother and we split two appetizers, the portions were very large! The two apps were enough for us and then some. The food tasted great, especially the jerk chicken on the salad!! Their drink menu was also very large so I'm thinking of returning for drinks some night soon. There was plenty of outdoor and indoor seating and everything was very clean. They also had a daily surf report which I thought was cute. Our waiter was very nice and so was the host, he didn't miss a beat. Definitely would recommend this place if you're by the beach. read more
