    Bbq burger and we added slaw
    Stephanie R.

    Beautiful spot right on the beach. We grabbed a picnic style table closest to the beach. It was lovely to sit and watch the water and people. We got a couple margaritas which were strong and delicious the food was pretty decent as well. We got a burger and a chicken sandwich. Service was very friendly and helpful.

    Our server Cody was fantastic and the view was just as great. It was 40 degrees out, so I didn't take any pictures of the food. I had a poinsettia cocktail and my husband had a painkiller. They were both great. The Ahi tuna wrap was fresh and delicious. The caesar salad was surprisingly good. The shrimp panini was ok; my husband liked it better than I did. Fries were great. We would be back! Vibes were great on the patio!

    Great food and the server was very polite and friendly. Quick service and the food was amazing and very fresh. Great view.

    A Memorable The Beach Bucket in Ormond Beach is my go-to spot for a taste of sunshine and delicious food. I recently visited twice in one week--and trust me, that was no accident! The first time was to catch up with a friend and soak in the amazing beach view, which is always a treat. The second time, I brought my sisters, and it was the perfect end to a fun beach day. Both times, I ordered the same thing because when something is this good, you stick with it: the shrimp basket with sweet potato fries. They came out hot, fresh, and absolutely delicious. This place has never disappointed me; the food is just as tasty and fresh as I remember. My sisters loved their meals too--one had the chicken and mozzarella panini, and the other had the chicken wings. They both said their food was fantastic! Throw in a perfect piña colada--which was delicious and refreshing after a long day at the beach--for myself and a great view, and you have the recipe for an amazing afternoon. The Beach Bucket is the perfect place to make some happy memories with great food. I can't wait to go back again soon, Beach Bucket!

    A breakfast lunch dinner café simple items on the beach You can enjoy sunrise or sunset. They have a whole bunch of different options that are super affordable. We came for breakfast on the specific day and we got two breakfasts and wanted to go for our kid and it was less than 50 bucks for beach pricing. That's relatively great. A casual place that is very busy usually it's first come first serve see yourself but it seems like they've changed it to have a host seat guest We enjoyed our breakfast. The service was decent nothing to complain about.

    Had yet another amazing lunch when I had out of state guests. It's my go to spot to impress friends with amazing food beachfront ‼ Kayla was our server and was excellent. We ordered the good old standby Parmesan and crusted tuna melt with sweet potato fries, conch fritters, Ahi tuna wrap, oh and of course, the voodoo bucket. Absolutely this place love the service. Love the food love the view....‼

    Key lime and strawberry shortcake blended drinks
    Lucy N.

    This place came highly recommended from our friends when they heard we were headed to Daytona beach! We stopped by even though it was a cold day so ended up grabbing a drink indoors. The keylime drink was SO good and my friend loved her strawberry shortcake drink too. The atmosphere inside wasn't anything to write home about, but obviously it's much better when it's a nice day out beachside. Our server Katherine was fantastic. She knows her stuff and made it a great experience for us. Unfortunately, the (I think) owner of the place went on Facebook live inside showing all the customers when we were there and it just seemed like it was invading our privacy in a way as he was "asking" if we wanted to be on camera after the camera was already pointed in our direction. He went table to table having everyone wave. It just seemed a little tacky. I'd recommend a different social media marketing strategy.

    Outdoor patio. Doesn't get more beachfront than this!
    Melinda K.

    Fish Tacos and drinks were amazing! Super laid back and right on the beach. With plenty of umbrellas for shade and a nice breeze. Will definitely back

    Smoked Fish Dip, they kindly accommodated my request for celery along with the chips.

    Extremely casual restaurant right on the Atlantic Ocean. A lot of seafood options. We decided to do appetizers. Service was excellent, the staff work together to make sure you're taken care of. Very accommodating. Great prices, especially on drinks.

    Fun restaurant right off the beach. Three tier area so views great. Went for dinner and breakfast next morning. Dinner: Apps of corn fritters and onion rings were very good. Nice portions Entrees of shrimp basket & tuna melt were delicious. Only down side - Pepsi products! Breakfast: Nice big mug go coffee. Original eggs benedict were fine. Needed thicker hollandaise sauce. The nice two by two eggs and bacon with toast was good! Cody did a great job as server.

    From the moment we walked in we were greeted with smiles and pleasant atmosphere! The food was delicious and the prices very reasonable! Definitely going back soon!

    Hot & Crispy Fish& Chips. Great beachside dinner!
    Diana L.

    Quick service, beach front view. The Fish & Chips were hot & crispy No complaints! Can be breezy on the patio, but a lovely spot for a waterfront drink and a meal!

    Onion Rings and Corn Nuggets
    Jayne S.

    Had a great lunch at Beach Bucket. Sitting outside on a beautiful sunny day looking at the ocean was fantastic. We started with the onion rings and corn nuggets as an appetizer. The onion rings were huge and very tasty. Corn nuggets were moist and delicious. I had the chicken tenders that were very good and very big. There were 5 of them maybe 4. There were so big I don't remember. All I know is I took 3 home . My friend had the steak panini and she loved it. Our server was so much fun and very attentive. Soon as we have warmer days , you will find me outside on the deck with a drink in hand. By the way, the drinks were exceptional!

    Do you allow dogs in your outside seating?

    They only allow service animals sadly. Even a 4lb dog in a bag was turned away

    When do they stop serving breakfast?

    We stop serving our breakfast at 11:30 AM. Look forward to taking care of you.

    Hi! I've been once before and remember the stairs by the beach. The profile says wheelchair accessible - where do you enter with a wheelchair? Is there a bathroom you can reach with a wheelchair too? Thanks!

    You can enter from the Ocean East south side parking lot or from the beach access parking lot in a wheelchair. Yes, you can access the bathrooms. You can go directly to the lower level of the patio from the parking lot in a wheelchair, or go inside… Read more

The prices are reasonable for what you get. The service was amazing. Sat at the bar every single time. Carlos and the pecan tan Tom Selleck mustache bartender (sorry didn't catch your name) were amazing. Coming from someone who works in hospitality that's the first thing I notice. The service. SPOT ON. Do not skip the clam chowder. I repeat DO NOT skip the clam chowder. It was unbelievably good with bacon or pork in it? Gave it a smoky flavor. Unreal. So good. The Caesar dressing tastes homemade but can't be sure. The oyster combo and baked oysters were the best. Not overcooked like most places and tiny. Just done PERFECTLY. I'd like to take a second to talk about the stuffed grouper. I've never had anything so good. And I'm not even a grouper fan. Wow. One star is missing bc on the next night I decided to try the "famous" steak tips. Nope. As a cook I know what happened. They were marinating in a Worcestershire or type marinade which almost cures/dries the meat and once you cook it, it dries out fast. They were like leather but I didn't complain bc my fat husband ate them and they didn't go to waste. But you can't call something famous and have it be bad. No pictures of the super dry steak tips because honestly who wants to see that? Anyway, we'll be back. My fav restaurant on the east coast!

My husband and I started with the buffalo shrimp, which is a go-to order for us at seafood spots. The buffalo flavor was good, but the sauce was very oily, and several shrimp still had bits of shell attached beyond the tails, so I ended up picking shell out of my mouth while eating. For my entrée, I ordered the snow crab and shrimp platter and asked for it to be cooked without butter but keep the old bay. The plate arrived with no discernible seasoning at all, and the seafood, potatoes, and corn tasted like they'd been boiled in plain water. When I asked about it, the server explained that they don't steam crab or shrimp in Old Bay, despite agreeing to that when I ordered, and that the platters rely on butter for flavor, which was disappointing for a $40-$50 dish. I'm giving 2 stars instead of 1 because my mother did enjoy her lobster platter. That said, her lobster was absolutely swimming in butter and Old Bay--not lightly drizzled as the menu implies--and it felt like butter was the main source of flavor rather than an enhancement. The server even mentioned how much butter the restaurant goes through in a day, which reinforced that this is their primary approach to seasoning. I enjoy seasoning and lots of flavor, and I prefer seafood that's cooked so the spices and the delicious taste of the shellfish stand out, not preparations that rely on heavy butter, so this restaurant ultimately wasn't a good fit for my preferences.

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.
