Atmosphere was great, right on the beach. Food was good. Service was amazing. Jose' is awesome.!

The 3 stars are for the view. This is the second time being here and I was very disappointed. When we sat down at the table it was sticky so obviously not wiped off after the guest before us. I ordered the mozzarella Caprese panini with extra crispy fries and received mozzarella and tomatoes on a pita bread that was not pressed like a panini. The fries were not crispy but instead slightly undercooked. My husband got the chicken tenders with chips & salsa. He liked the chicken but the chips were stale. Not a great experience but service was very good. read more

Beach Buckets Buffalo Shrimp is my favorite in the entire area. Servers are always friendly and quick to get to your table. It's a wonderful place to meet up with friends, have a date night, or just bring a book in the afternoon and enjoy some lemonade by the waves. The perfect little hole-in-the-wall place :) read more

The Beach Bucket - Buffalo Shrimp - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Ormond Beach, Florida

Other than having a bit of a time finding this restaurant, it was worth it. We literally were maybe 75 feet from the Atlantic Ocean. As the waves were slowly crashing on the beach we enjoyed a delightful Mimosa and Bloody Mary. Our server was very cordial and helpful making several brunch suggestions. We settled on a shrimp and Crab omelet. It was serves with a choice of biscuit, toast, croissant and wonderfully fried potatoes. I usually don't comment on breakfast because at best, it's ho-hum. At the Beach Bucket, from the minute we entered until we left everyone was friendly which included their other patrons. We vowed this will be a new favorite eatery. read more

A nice, scenic view of the beautiful beach of Daytona. Came here for brunch and it wasn't that crowded at all for Labor Day weekend. We were self-sat outside underneath the shade and was attended pretty quickly. We ordered two Mai Tais and shared a steak-mozzarella panini with fries. The drinks were pretty sweet, so we ended up grabbing Landsharks for the remainder of the meal. The panini was nothing to special, but the fries were delicious! Our server was super nice and recommended cool places to go around the area after brunch. Something about having a drink by the beach... and we're Floridians. read more

Wow! The view is amazing, the food is delicious...don't let the hole in the wall placement scare you off. The Cole slaw is delicious, the tuna melt is so yummy and cheesy---the Parmesan cheese is grilled into the crust of the sourdough bread. Enough said. The bucket burger is good, just wish it was more seasoned. It was moist though. The chicken tenders are heat hot and good. Just wish the tenders were thicker. The kids fried fish is a little greasy, yet breaded right and so flavorful...definitely something to have at the beach! The server was nice and very attentive. read more

Been twice, first time it was great! Second time, service was not very friendly (waitress had an attitude) and the food wasn't as expected. Great place for views of the beach though! read more

Went for lunch 2 weeks ago, the food was fine but be very careful where you park your car. Even after getting the OK from one of their employees to park where I parked...2 weeks later, I received a Volusia County parking violation in the mail for $71.30. So much for ever returning to The Beach Bucket!! read more

Atmosphere and location are everything here! Drinks were great, service was attentive. We had burgers (going for a "cheeseburger in paradise" vibe) and they hit the mark. This place is a must! Would love to hang all day here with good food, cold drinks and AMAZING location and view! read more

The Beach Bucket - Beautiful view from our table. Can't get closer to the beach than this! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Ormond Beach, Florida

Service and the ocean give this place its ratings. Go for drinks not the food. Worst burger ever. Frozen patty on a dry bun. Calamari was equally below average. The fish spread that I am sure they do no make in house was good. read more

Always good food served here A must place to go. While shut down during Covid 19 the owner continued to pay his employees even though he wasn't open for business That to me deserves a 5 star rating read more

As everyone will tell you, the view is what they go here for. But the food is good too. In an area where there's a restaurant on every block, you've got to be good to stay busy. And this place stays busy ! read more

My husband and I came to celebrate our dirty dizen wedding anniversary in Daytona and wanted to eat dinner on the beach with local live music near by. We found this spot on Yelp with good reviews. I called a few times to make sure there was no wait and that the weather (thunderstorms brewing) didn't impact seating options. They were very sweet and helpful both times I called. Atmosphere: All of the staff were so friendly and socialized with us at some point during our time there. Weather wasn't great but it was still very nice to sit beach front with nice breeze. Relaxing and chill! Food: my husband was craving conch fritters, which was the other reason we chose this spot. They were very good. Cooked and seasoned well and dipping sauce was perfect. I ordered the avocado tuna wrap. It was fresh and good flavor. I got garlic broccoli as my side which was cooked and seasoned well. My husband got the steak and mozzarella panini with fries. I didn't get a photo but it looked more like a gyro than a panini. It lacked an even amount of mozzarella and tomatoes. One half had it but the other half really didn't. The fries were the breaded looking ones that were just ok and lacked seasoning. I don't think we would get that again but it was ok. Drinks: I got the perfect patron margarita (2 actually). I like a lot of salt on the rim and I told our waitress this and she definitely passed along the message to the bartender. It was shaken and served to perfection! My husband asked about the IPAs they had and their alcohol content. He likes a good buzz but doesn't like to get smashed on one beer. The manager even came over and googled the content for us as they didn't know off hand. He ended up trying a few kinds and liked them all. Overall it was a relaxing time with pleasant people. We ended up walking next door to the Riptide restaurant for some live music and a few more cocktails before heading back to our hotel. read more

While camping at the beautiful Tomoka State Park, we wandered into town for lunch and found this place on a recommendation of a local. It is a comfy little bar but it has a lot of outside seating ON the beach. Perfect. Our server was friendly, fast, kept an eye on us, top notch. We ordered and shared a conch fritter appetizer: 6 good sized fritters with a zippy sauce. Lots of conch. We also shared fish tacos and upped the fish to Mahi. (extra $2- worth it) 2 soft tacos with a big chunk of delicious grilled fish in each..topped with a sauce and avocado. Delicious, a little messy, but who cares? It came with delicious crunchy fries. It was a delightful time and a great meal. Before tip, it was around $32. We were very pleased with the whole experience. When you go, plan on walking the beach....it will be calling you! read more

Everything, service was excellent n even the weather was gorgeous.. food was very good and the ambiance of sea n surf was magical.... Love The Beach Bucket read more

They had great service and fast food. Make sure you ask for you choice of hard liquor for hard drink or you will end up with cheap choice. Example, jack and coke, make sure it's jack daniels! The environment was fun and ok to bring kids! read more

Holy. Crap. Their food is so amazing. I don't think I've ever had such delicious fish and shrimp tacos ANYWHERE before. Their prices are also incredible, and service is surprisingly good even when they're insanely busy. It's such a nice feeling to sit and see a great view of the beach, and we thoroughly enjoyed our experience here. Their drinks are also so cheap, and they do not skimp out on the alcohol. Order their blackened tilapia fish tacos, shrimp tacos, and smoked fish dip. Everything was so fresh but didn't make you feel gross afterwards. I want to come here again and again. I highly, highly, HIGHLY recommend! read more

Great service, great food and great atmosphere. Love sitting by the beach. Staff was friendly

If you're in the area and you're looking for a super cute spot for casual patio-dining on the beach - THIS is a must! I've been to this place quite a few times in the past when staying in the area - and by that, I mean every single day I was staying! This is such an adorable little niche for seaside breakfast or brunch with Bloody Mary's, snacks and drinks mid-day or even catching the sunset with your friends during the golden hour The food is delicious - I get major mom and pop vibes here, the breakfast reminds you of a hometown favorite spot, but the finger foods are always good too, the corn nuggets and onion rings were a favorite on our last visit over the weekend! Ormond is a quiet area - there's definitely quite a few great little spots, but if I had to pick.. this one is for sure a must every time! read more

It was our first pit stop after I flew in from New York. I've never been here before but def was in need of some good fish tacos and a beverage. Julia was our server. She was AWESOME!!! I had the blacked fish tacos w fries and to drink I had a vodka lemonade. The drinks were great and the food was pretty good. I deducted one star bc of the fries. They weren't too hot. All in all I def will come back but next time I'd get a salad or try onion rings. Thanks Julia!! She should be recognized for her above and beyond customer service. read more

You absolutely can NOT complain about location. With seats looking directly out over the ocean the scenery is second to none. The fried shrimp was extremely tasty but just slightly over cooked. The peel and eat shrimp was absolute perfection. Had I known what I know now I would have ordered fries instead of slaw. The slaw was not bad, it just wasn't great either. read more

This place isn't easy to find, but it's worth the search. Great outside deck, but it was raining. We had conch fritters, crab cakes, shrimp tacos, and beers. Conch isn't that common, so I had to have it. Shrimp was plump and delicious. Decent prices. read more

The first place we ate in Ormond Beach after we moved here was this place. Went for the deck and ocean view but keep coming back for the delicious drinks and excellent service! Recently brought our son and his wife and our two granddaughters when they visited and everything was excellent! Great fish and shrimp tacos, amazing shrimp and bacon panini and we love the fries! When one of the granddaughters dropped her plate, the staff immediately cleaned it up and brought her replacement food without us asking. Excellent service! Definitely a go-to place for us read more

Wow!!!! Food ,service, and Ambiance was Fantastic. I never been. The water view was Peaceful!! I took my wife for our 13th year Anniversary.

Second time here. First time was a great experience. Beach front location. Quick. Fair pricing. This go round we came for breakfast and I ordered the blue crab Benedict which is their house special. The English muffin was so burnt it was hard to enjoy it fully, but the crab and egg Benedict combo was pretty good. Taking a star off for the burnt muffin, but I'd give them another whirl for sure since first experience was good. read more
