Glad we tried this place out instead of our usual spots! What we thought was just an average place actually blew us into surprise. Literally the BEST view of Flagler without all that foot traffic downstairs. Came here for a couple of drinks that lead into appetizers. We got Coronas and shared the mahi fish taco and calamari. The fries were a bit old but the fish was so fresh and delicious! Calamari was great too. We really appreciated the quiet view from upstairs. Employees are very friendly! Restrooms could use a touch up. Things were rusty. read more

When we arrived at Tortugas for our first visit, we were undecided about eating upstairs due to the weather. The bartender kindly suggested we take a look upstairs to see if the atmosphere suited us. There was no one at the host stand when we passed it, so we walked up to check it out. ​As we were coming back down, the host, Eric, finally returned to his stand and confronted us aggressively, demanding, "Can I help you?" when we explained we were just checking out the upstairs area, he cut us off with an arrogant tone, saying, "Well, I'm the host! I'm the one who seats you and gives you the menus and silverware." When we tried to explain that the bartender had suggested we look, he completely ignored us and continued to display a condescending, hostile attitude. ​Because of his unacceptable behavior, we decided against dining and ordered just one drink each at the bar instead. Unfortunately, the bar area was dirty, sticky, and grimy. The white wine was served warm, and the water had a distinct taste of bleach. While the bartender was friendly, the poor hygiene of the bar--combined with Eric's mistreatment--left us with zero confidence in the quality or safety of the food. ​You do not treat guests the way Eric treated us today. It was completely unprofessional, rude, and uncalled for. Front-of-house staff are the face of an establishment, and I doubt the owners realize their customers are being greeted with such volatile hostility. We will never return to this restaurant ever!!! read more

Nice view of water Food was flavorful...first time eating conch fritters Service - not good Hostess wasn't welcoming. No enthusiasm. Waitress wasn't welcoming or attentive. She must not work for tips. We asked for more straws since we had 4 drink and 1 straw. She didn't come back until the food was coming to the table so I asked the female bartender who was the only worker I saw smiling. read more

Fun place on Flagler beach . Started off with cocktails and fire cracker shrimp. The shrimp had. a delicious glaze not too spicy. Then off to a Cobb salad enough for Two. No need at add any protein . Between the hard boiled eggs, bacon and blue cheese there was enough protein. The portion was large. . When the key lime pie arrived our eyes widened at the size and presentation. This truly was enough for 4. Please try Tortugo's. You won't be disappointed Ted read more

Great food and service as usual. We sat outside in the sun, which made it just perfect weather to enjoy the beach across the street. Calamari is always delicious with the jalapeños in the bottom of the dip. Grouper sandwich was very nice and was actually ordered by the people next to us because they saw what my wife got and fell in love with it. I had these Flagler salad with the salmon and it was very filling and delicious. BTW the WiFi password is Tortugas16 read more

I saw the reviews and I must agree - service was just ok. The food was good - burgers and fries . The waitresses do not want to be there. They stood at the end of the bar - Little to no interaction. A gentleman ( manager/owner maybe) broke up the group and had the bartender go help customers at the other end of bar. From the reviews SERVICE and SMILES need to be addressed. read more

We have been here several times and enjoyed ourselves. The bartender recognized us each time. Food is good and atmosphere is beachy.

We came to eat here in what was seemingly an interesting night as a rock band was playing, lots of local bikers were spilled out onto the street and there was a visit by a firetruck and ambulance which made for a unique experience. For me, the best part of our meal was our young waiter who had an impeccable memory and great service. It didn't make up for some of the shortfalls of the food itself - the ribeye was an insulting portion and the shrimp and grits weren't even edible for my tastes. But the apps were all solid, and several other dishes I tried were all decent though. read more

Stopped in during our ride home from Orlando. Places look original FL so we stopped in. Excellent choice. Very attentive service. Drink menu was plentiful and selected ones were tasty and large. Banging ship appetizer was tasty and plentiful. Cobb salad and cali chicken sandwich were large portion and delicious. Dessert of key lime pie was higher and filled with flavor. Great view, good service and food... nothing more to ask. read more

Great spot right on A1A nice view of the ocean. Might go to is the Flagler fish Reuben. It's a large hunk of red fish on the sandwich. Always delicious. I often catch good entertainment here and the staff is always on point if you haven't been to Tortugas, you need to check it out. read more

Very friendly staff! Indoor and outdoor seating with live music on the weekend. Food was better than expected. The Rasta pasta was surprisingly rich and flavorful! Sandwiches were great as well. Firecracker shrimp was crispy and sweet. Creamy Mac n cheese read more

Alexa!!!! The best person to celebrate my sisters birthday. She was so accommodating and so nice to talk with. Management was amazing and so was the food. 10/10 read more

Everything we ordered was way too salty. And I like my salt and seasoning. The bruschetta had a weird taste to it. The firecracker shrimp was like popcorn shrimp with sauce on it and some of the pieces were literally just breading. We got the mahi fish tacos and they were very over seasoned. The Cajun pasta was literally like putting straight pepper in your mouth. Like ground pepper. Poke bowl was okay. But maybe 4 slices of tuna. And not raw. It's seared. Definitely wouldn't recommend. But seems like a cool spot to chill for an outside bar? read more

Stopped here very hungry after working the night before til midnight without dinner and having to fast for 10 am bloodwork. This was my first time seeing Flagler Beach so I went with a restaurant with a view. I love Reuben sandwiches so thought I'd try their twist on the classic, made with redfish. The sandwich just wasn't good. The fish was slightly undercooked. I'd have to describe it as watery. I'm not the type to send food back or I would have. Having kids who work in the restaurant industry I appreciate a hardworking waitress and usually give more than 20%. Not today though. When you have to hope to see your server and hope to catch her eye or you won't see her til the check's ready that's just not good let alone exceptional service. If anyone asks me where to eat at Flagler Beach I'll say, "Not Tortuga's." read more

I was driving home from Orlando via A1A and decided to stop at this place for a late lunch. It was a great decision. It is about a block south of the Flagler Beach pier and has a great location. There is a big outdoor seating area on the ground floor as well as an outdoor bar, and an upstairs seating area. The host asked me where I wanted to sit and I pointed to one of the nice blue outdoor tables. He said they were usually reserved for four people but because it was a slower time he would seat me there. I appreciated the gesture. My waiter, Jonathan, quickly came over to get my drink order and offer menu suggestions. He told me the firecracker tacos were his favorite item on the menu. I had already been considering this item so his recommendation solidified the deal. They were fantastic. The menu also offers plenty of appetizers, salads, sandwiches and entrees. Everything sounded good. This was my first time visiting but based on the food, service and ambiance, it probably won't be my last. read more

Absolutely love the food, the service as well as the location! But as they say location location location and if it is a cold windy day this is not the place to be. Thankfully on the day that we arrived it wasn't but on our successive trip it was. But that first trip is what had us coming back and bringing friends. Looking forward to spending some more money there! read more

Service was great from the start to finish. The host checked upstairs and downstairs for an outside table for us. Found one upstairs and he accommodated us with our extra needs. The waffle burger , tacos and bacon wrapped plantains were our favorite ! Coleslaw was blah as well as Cesar salad. Ocean view was great! read more

We stopped by Tortugas for lunch and everything we ordered was so good! We had the bacon-wrapped plantains, waffle burger, the Pauly Melt, and their fresh catch tacos--every single dish was full of flavor and cooked perfectly. You can really tell they put love into their food. The service was great--friendly and attentive--and the ambiance had a relaxed, coastal vibe that made the whole experience even better. Highly recommend if you're in the area! read more

Husband and I came for drinks and appetizers! Great Goombay Smash! They're not stingy with the liquor either! We had wings and calamari which were pretty good. The views is where it's at. Right across the street from the ocean! I'm a water baby island girl so I loved it! read more

The food was so bad and the server did NOT want to be there. I love having a great experience out to eat but this just didn't hit any of the spots. There were 8 entrees ordered and no one liked their dish and I'm not exaggerating. Maybe just a fun place for drinks but the food was laughable read more

My wife and I have been coming here for years always great service, food, and drinks. Also a great view of the beach

We came here since my Mom lives in Ormand Beach, so about a 10-minute drive up A1A. A decent spot overlooking the Atlantic Ocean that offers good vibes and drinks as well as decent eats, Tortuga is a solid spot if you're visiting or in the area needing a good fix we discovered. Grabbing a high-top table on the open-air second floor, we enjoyed Mai Tais and Miami Vices before enjoying our meal. The Bacon-wrapped plantains were delicious. In hindsight, the waffle burger was probably a bit decadent after that, but I was throwing caution to the wind. But the sidewinder fries were solid. Grabbing a table on the top floor is a good decision if you like gazing into the Atlantic Ocean or watching the cars roll along A1A. Plus, there are plenty of flat-screen TVs to catch one of several football games usually played during the season. read more

They "stuck" us inside after waiting for an outside seating for 45 min. The inside seating SUCKS. It's muggy and feels like an afterthought table storage that everyone walks by to get to the bathroom. We ONLY came there for the sunset only to be stuck at a lousy little table against the wall where you enter. Lame. Ruined our last night dinner out with our daughter. FYI to the mismanagement: Tell customers to expect a phone call instead of a text like most restaurants. As for the food; the fish & chips were the worst I've ever eat and overpriced for how bad they were. The breading was about a 1/2" thick with not much fish inside. We got shelved and we should have chosen a different restaurant. read more

We were on the second floor which had a great view of the Atlantic Ocean with no wait time. I was not sure I wd like the conch chowder, so Harriet, our waitress brought me a sample taste of it. I loved it and ordered that and their side salad with their signature honey lime cilantro dressing. Everything was delicious, my only thought was to offer a large bowl of soup rather than just having a cup sized. Harriet was friendly and very attentive, we will surly be back. We recommend this restaurant for a lovely meal. read more

Stopped in during a lazy afternoon in Flagler Beach. It's right on the main drag next to the beach. It's GREAT people watching. We sat on the lower level next to the street in the "comfy seating" booths. We had a few drinks and a couple appetizers, including the wings. I got the Thai chili sauce. The wings were really, really good. The other appetizer was the caprese salad. It was kinda blah. The service was fine...it was a little rocky at first but got better as the afternoon went on. It would have been great if they had live music, but alas they did not. Overall, it was a good experience and I would go back. read more

My husband and I decided to try Tortuga's for the first time. We were seated at a table with a stand heater. Beautiful view of the ocean from our table! Our server David was very friendly and cheerful, he took our drink order which was margaritas. When he brought our drinks we placed our appetizer which was the pork belly bites. For our entrées, my husband ordered the fried fish that came with sidewinder fries, I ordered the fried shrimp which comes with the sidewinder fries, coleslaw and tartar sauce. The service was very good as far as the pork belly bites unfortunately wasn't very good. The bourbon maple syrup to dip them in was fantastic but the actual pork belly was very dry. The margaritas tasted very good. The shrimp was amazing, plump and so juicy and the fries were very good too. I would definitely order again. The fish was fried perfectly could have had a thinner batter but still very good. read more

Harriet was great upstairs. Good vibes. Best view!! I recommend the egg rolls and bacon wrapped plantains. Simple but yummy!! We kept it simple but I hope to try the fish Ruben next time. The soup needs to come off the menu. Tastes just like FEET! read more

NOT GOOD!! We decided to have dinner there during the week. There were few customers outside and the inside was empty. I ordered the conch chowder, which was very thin. Hubby ordered the chicken wings, which were thin and tasteless. His shrimp were good though. Our guests had the fish and chips and pork belly which seemed OK. Service was deplorable. Our waitress was no where to be found and after receiving the bill, we actually had to hunt her down to pay!!! Very disappointed read more

Amazing environment! We sat in the outdoor/indoor area next to the bar and it was freaking great!!! We had amazing mahi mahi tacos which had an amazing remoulade. Then I ordered their firecracker shrimp which was ok, but their skewers were amazing!! The environment was lively and our waitress was amazing. She was so interactive and nice. She asked us if we needed anything quite often which was great. I loved it. Definitely be back! read more

We recently went to Tortuga's and this time was great. We ordered the fried shrimp and the breading was delicious! The shrimp seemed super fresh and we also ordered a piece of key lime pie and it was so big , all 5 of us split it and it was really good. read more

Bacon wrapped plantains and spicy calamari ! Great service too! Across the street from the beach, perfect location stop driving the coast!

Our family went out Christmas morning to drive by the beach and Tortuga's was open. We sat by the fire pits and had a delicious breakfast. I look forward to going again read more

Crazy burger. About 15 tv screens and an equal amount of retirees puffing on cigars. Ambiance is Florida beach: alcohol, cover bands, and characters. Service is incredible. We had 3 people come up to us within 30 seconds of being there asking for help. read more

We visited on a Monday in the late afternoon between lunch and dinner so it was not busy. Like most businesses, they are understaffed, but the bartender who also was our waitress was amazing. She was friendly and helpful despite being very busy. We also saw her running food up and from the kitchen that is downstairs to all her tables in between taking orders and tending bar. I was impressed with her positive disposition and skill and also very appreciative. As for food, we ordered the sweet and spicy shrimp appetizer and it was very good. It reminds me of bang bang shrimp from Bonefish. I like bang bang shrimp better but this is very tasty. And it was a good portion. For our entrees, my son and I got tacos. I got the fresh catch (mahi) and my son got the pork/pineapple. We both enjoyed our dishes and would order them again! My fish tasted fresh and well cooked- not dried out like fish can get very easily. The sauce was nice and not spicy. Also, I do not like sour cream, so it is nothing like that. My husband got the mushroom burger and he said that although it was simple, it was very good. The fries were unique and very good. I thought they were onion petals but they were fries. I would have ordered a whole basket of them! We only had tea to drink and their sweet tea was excellent! The upstairs view was also fantastic. We thoroughly enjoyed watching the surfers and the waves crashing along the beach. I would recommend coming here if you are looking for a nice view, some good food, and nice people. read more

Forgot to take pictures but we ordered the sweet and spicy fire cracker shrimp, the mozzarella caprese salad and a burger!!! All so good!! Even better you can order food and drinks to go and bring it onto the beach! Great vibes read more

If I would have to rate the drinks would be much less stars. Like 3. I had a lemon drop, I like strong drinks but this was too much even for me. I sipped it forever and it got hot since we were sitting outside looking at the ocean. My friend got an old fashioned, he asked beforehand if the bartender knows how to make it coz if not, he would go and help him. Server said she's sure he can. Well... nope Even just by looking at the drink we knew it won't be good. It wasn't. 5 star goes to service, she was absolutely amazing just as the food. We had more people joining us so we moved to a better table upstairs and it wasn't an issue at all. I think we got the best seat in the house. We were very pleased. Calamari was perfect and the Baja egg rolls were divine. We switched to Prosecco for drinks, at least that cannot disappoint. :) We had a really good time, our server was very attentive and spent some time with us too. She really made the whole experience much better. We will be back!!! read more
