Great service, fun beach atmosphere, and most importantly delicious and fresh food! From the sandwiches to the seafood and kids meals!

Didn't eat here (hopefully will before we leave town), but beer selection and service were good. Fun atmosphere to watch NCAA. Original plan was Blacksheep across the street, but there were 2 cars there...never a good sign. read more

My wife and our 3 children just had a great meal here. We started with a dozen fresh oysters and some spring rolls both of which were delish.

If you are looking for fresh seafood and a cool atmosphere you will be happy here. Bon Appétit! read more

Riptides Raw Bar & Grill - Good drinks - Seafood Near Me - Ormond Beach, Florida

Riptides was a great lunch! Our waiter ( can't remember his name!) was nice and our food was just what we had been hunting, delicious seafood! I had the riptide frenzy (gator tail shrimp and crab). Shrimp were my fave but all of it was yum. My husband got the 1 1/2 pound king crab and was full when it was gone . ( the do offer a AYCE King crab but we never would have needed it ). Live music was starting at 4 or 5 and the indoor/outdoor was just right for the beach. read more

Riptides Raw Bar & Grill - Cocktails were tasty and fun! - Seafood Near Me - Ormond Beach, Florida

Good selection of beer. Price was a bit steep for a Stella and the All you can eat crab legs but, they were very tasty. Watress was patient but could be a little more attentive. Overall a good experience with good food. I dont recommend the Nachos...i really didnt like them. read more

Riptides more like "boomerang beach because you'll always come back". 10/10 recommend sitting at the bar and hanging out with Anthony, Austin, and Bradley. Austin's hair height will let you know what the waves at the beach are like & Anthony's special with tequila, pineapple, & cranberry will keep you having fun in the sun. My choice for best bartender's special is Cassie (not pictured), the one who truly runs the scenes behind the bar. I can not recommend Riptides enough to anyone looking for good food, good drinks, & good times with good friends. read more

Riptides Raw Bar & Grill - Seafood Near Me - Ormond Beach, Florida

Our go to place when we come Daytona. Shimp and grits are good. The Mahi sandwich is always good. Good service and better people.

Service was horrendous. Bill was rushing us from the moment we sat. Actually, members of the party hadn't sat and was asking for drink orders. He had the personality of a wet rag. Foaod was mediocre. Oysters were not flavorful. We ordered other apps to start and the server tried to discourage us from our choices. Would not go back. Sorry "mike". You were interviewing at the table next to us, do a better job hiring. read more

The music was good. The food was great I got the dozen of raw oysters (they aren't really raw) and they were amazing. The employees were super nice even though it was late. The food was reasonably priced the all u can eat crabs though were kinda expensive. I would recommend this to anyone that likes seafood. Did I tell you the food was amazing. We had seating outside which was nice. I would totally go again. read more

Nice music, nice drinks, nice food and nice service. Interior is a bit plain and boring, but the music makes up for it a little bit. Riptide Shrimp was very good. Free parking near by. read more

Excellent food and atmosphere. The live band had everyone singing along. Our waitress Shannon made the experience fun for us and everyone in our section. I highly recommend this place!! read more

My wife and I ate at Riptides last night. Though we waited 75 minutes for a table, it was well worth the wait. The food was amazing. We had the surf and turf bisque to start. It was phenomenal! I had the stuffed grouper and cleaned my plate. My wife had the grilled scallops and shrimp. Portions were great and both meals were out of this world! Our server was Gus. He is a fantastic waiter. Extremely friendly, knowledgeable, attentive, and genuine. It was an absolute pleasure to have him serve us. That was our 1st time eating there as we are here for vacation. We will definitely go back as we return to Ormond Beach in the future. If you plan on going, ask for Gus to be your server. You will not be disappointed with the service or the food. Awesome place! read more

Very good place to eat. We had a wait but it was worth it. They staff was very friendly and the food was amazing. Probably the beat crab legs we ate in Daytona beach. read more

Great food and huge 33oz beers. Service was very good and hardly any wait at lunch hour.

Very good food and great service! Bar was a little slow with drinks, but you could tell they were busy. Overall good food and nice atmosphere. (Just a little pricey) read more

I had the steak, scallop, shrimp skewers with rice, grilled veggies. I have to say that having eaten in over 28 countries that this chef knows how to grill without drying out the food! It was all moist, perfectly cooked, spiced perfectly!!!! Congrats on a perfect dinner! I would substitute maybe some green beans and mushrooms for the zucchini as that is not my favorite veggie but it was delicious! read more

Great place, we sat on the patio. There was live music, which was awesome great tunes. Food was good and waiter was very helpful and attentive. Would definitely go back read more

I love the all you can eat crab legs but this time tried the seafood Mac n cheese. It was ok. Nice chunks of scallops and shrimp but no lobster or crab. The service was horrible! We got there at 2:15 pm. Very empty. Our server Gary was so unfriendly. Like we were there bothering him. Once he placed our order we did not see him until we were waiting for 20 minutes for our boxes (for left over food) and our check. Someone else brought out our food. All in all, the food is pretty good but the service (this is the 3rd time going and this was our last time) was horrible as always. Even the hostess seating us was very unfriendly. read more

Great food and great vibes. Went late night on a Sunday, there was no wait time, food came out super fast. They have all you can eat crab legs, but it is market price, for us it was $68 a person. Otherwise you can do per pound. Also great variety in drinks and you get a souvenir cup with a lot of the drinks, but they are pricey. Live music is always playing and they have a great outdoor seating option. read more

Great place with great food. Live music was excellent as well. We had a great time. We had calamari to start, it had marinara and aa second lemony dipping sauce that was really good. I had the salmon with veggies and mash potatoes and I loved the Asiany sweet glaze on the salmon. My boyfriend had the filet mignon, it was perfectly cooked and the flavors were delicious. read more

Ate dinner here and our food was good shrimp tacos calamari and scallops. Our service was the very opposite. Our server (Amanda) did not provide us with the best experience. Very slow and inattentive probably due to the fact that we were not drinking alcohol. I am a server and all tables should be provided with the same quality services. read more

We were here on vacation and dined our at different restaurants each night. This was by far our favorite. The food was wonderful - my husband had the Hang Ten Burger and I got the Seafood Mac and Cheese. Both were great and priced well for the value. We dined outside where a duo named The Transfers were singing and they added a nice touch. We stayed for another round because we enjoyed them so much! It's our last night in town and we regret not getting here earlier, but next year! Fun times! read more

Food was good. Portions were small compared to the price. Quick service and friendly staff.

TOURIST TRAP!! Looking forward to eating here since the reviews are good but I did not have a good experience. I started with a fish dip that tasted okay. I ordered fried mahi which was very over cooked and dry. Our waiter offered to bring me something different but I did not want to wait after waiting an hour to get inside. Overall this place is over priced and there are better options for seafood in the area. read more

A really nice beachside restaurant with great food and drinks. Casual setting and I would say that it's great for families. The food is always wonderful as well as the staff. read more

We wanted fresh seafood and did not leave disappointed. It's a bit pricey but worth it. We tried the bisque soup, calamari, raw oysters - yum!! We had fish tacos with mango salsa and coleslaw which was savory and sweet. The grouper fish with sweet potato fries and coleslaw was great blackened. Highly recommend this place - the live music ended a bit early but it was Sunday. read more

Amazing food, never a bad meal, Christian is a great server, he made sure we were well looked after!

My husband and I saw an advertisement for Riptides and thought we would give it a try and we had a great experience! Our service was great, our food came out quick, hot, and delicious, and the atmosphere was great! My husband ordered the seafood Mac and cheese which came with two sides and I ordered a burger that had a seafood stuffing on it which was great! We really enjoyed everything and would definitely return and recommend! read more

Riptides Raw Bar & Grill - Seafood Mac and Cheese - Seafood Near Me - Ormond Beach, Florida

We going for vacation to Daytona Beach FL. This place is very good The food is very tasty Very respect with the costumer read more

They should rename this restaurant Rip-Offs. The $33 Stuffed Grouper I ordered was a very small piece undercooked and barely warm. The "Bay Scallops and Shrimp" stuffing had one tiny shrimp in it (no scallops) and the bed of yellow rice was horrible. The "vegetable medley" that was included had 2 beans and 2 slices of zucchini. I was very disappointed and the server had no response. Will NEVER go there again. Terrible meal. read more

My first experience was great! I had the shrimp avocado salad and oysters. My friends ordered fish, scallops, a seafood platter and fried shrimp. Everyone loved their meals and our waitress answered all of our questions. My friends and I "met in the middle" of Jacksonville and Orlando, and chose this restaurants after reading "yelp" reviews! Glad we took the advice. read more

It was sunny but a little cool and windy, but we wanted to sit outside. It was early so not too busy. The outdoor deck had Plastic over the windows and with sun streaming in it was very pleasant, however the hostess made us go to a far table that was unprotected, cold and windy. We took our menus and approached her to ask for a better table (there were several open). She refused because "the servers in that area had too many tables and the mgr. would get real mad if she sat us there." We said we would wait. So she went inside and soon out came a server willing and able to serve us. I could observe the hostesses from my table. The next two parties who asked to sit outside were told they could only sit inside (but there were at least 4 empty tables outside by us). Then the next few parties within 10 minutes were all seated outside! I gathered the hostesses seem to be a slave to their iPad system. NEVERTHELESS, OUR FOOD (Mahi, riblets) AND WAITER WERE GREAT, and much enjoyed the outdoor venue. the homemade key lime pie was exceptional, one of the best desserts I ever had. Would definitely return! read more

This was by far one if my favorite restaurants in Ormond Beach. The food was amazing...the drinks are huge and we loved keeping the souvenir glasses. Our waiter Robbie was awesome..so friendly and helpful selecting the right entree! It was so good we went twice in one day! read more

Nice atmosphere, friendly staff, knowledgeable. The stuffed grouper was amazing, one of the best I've ever had! Wine list also great.

Great menu and music! Busy during season, but off season, this is a great place to sit and enjoy music.
