Fantastic food, service, & atmosphere! We started with the house salad and it was great enough for 3-4 people. The key lime honey mustard dressing was great. I thought the cornbread croutons didn't go with the salad though. Hubby had the grouper jerk style with the Jacks potatoes- highly recommend! I had the jerk chicken tacos. I loved everything! The mango salsa was a hit. We even bought t shirts :) read more

Caribbean Jack's - Drinks and house pickles - Caribbean Near Me - Daytona Beach, Florida

One of our favorite local waterfront dining spots. Good food, good service and has live entertainment on the weekends.

Ordered: Fried Calamari (~$15) Peel N Eat Shrimp (~$14): 1/4lb of shrimp steamed and spiced in the shell; served hot with cocktail sauce and butter Fried Fish & Shrimp Basket (~$21): served with Caribbean slaw and seashore cut fries Seafood Broil (~$29): shrimp, scallops, crab cake and Mahi served with two sides (mashed potatoes and hush puppies) Aya's take: Caribbean Jack's is a Daytona Beach staple and it shows. Located right off of the water, you can bet you'll have some fresh seafood while listening to the birds and the ocean. The most noteworthy were the Peel N Eat Shrimp which was delicious and the Fried Fish & Shrimp Basket which was just as tasty. The batter was light, the fish was flaky, and the shrimp was very fresh. There is plenty of parking available; although, it was so full, we had to park on the adjacent street. We waited less than 10 mins for a table for 4. Definitely recommend stopping by if you're in the area! read more

Worst food and service ever! The outdoor ambiance is everything as advertised, but as enjoyable as the atmosphere is, that is where things go South. My wife and I were seated at a wonderful table outside. After sitting for 15 minutes waiting to be noticed I walked across the patio to a couple of wait staff standing around and asked to have them find our server. They said one hadn't been assigned to our table but they would figure it out. Over the course of the evening, three different waiters/waitresses stopped by to try to help. I had the "World Famous" Bloody Mary and my wife had the Margarita. The drinks were small and lame for the price. We started with the five star gator bites. They were overly chewy and full of cartridge. I had the crab stuffed Avocado salad and my wife had the coconut shrimp salad. I expected fresh lump crab but got canned chicken of the sea crab. A very disappointing experience. My wife got five coconut shrimp, an overly large field green salad covered by disgustingly stale croutons. She ate the shrimp and disposed of the rest. Throughout our stay we periodically got overwhelmed by cigarette smoke, although we couldn't see where the offending smoker was. I have to say, I can only think the numerous favorable reviews are nothing but fake plants by Caribbean Jacks. The claim that the gator bites are the best ever and worth driving across the State for, give me a break. I feel totally ripped off by this meal that cost me $120 and the most abysmal service ever. I believe this is the only time in my 50 years of dinning out I have left a tip of $0 writing "worst food and service ever" on my bill! read more

Unfortunately, our server brought down our rating on this visit. While we could see and hear all of the other servers around us interacting with their clients, we got the feeling we were doing our server a favor by letting her take our orders. When we inquired if there were any specials today, her response was "not on food." We started with the Peel and Eat shrimp and a Crock of Clonk (clam chowder and conch mixed together). We asked the server what kind of shrimp they were because they tasted so good, and she replied, "I don't know, but I can find out." Well, if she found out, she never told us. When we inquired whether the Jerk Chicken was on the spicey side, she could only repeat what was on the menu description. Not helpful. When we ordered the rack of ribs, she cautioned that "they're a bit on the hot/spicy side." Well, as it turned out, the Jerk Chicken had much more of a kick than the ribs did. Ribs were very good and fall off the bone delicious. As we were finishing up, the server walked by and slid the bill on the table. Well, one of the reasons we came was to try the bananas foster. So, we inquired about dessert, and she fulfilled our request and updated our bill. No inquiries into if we enjoyed the food or the spiceyness. There appeared to be a manager on duty as she wasn't wearing one of their t-shirts and she told us to "have a nice day" on our way out the door. Also, no mention of how we enjoyed the food or the visit. If not for the attentiveness that we observed from the other servers, this would probably be a one and done for us. We'll likely return, but rest assured we will not sit in this servers section ever again. read more

This was a fun place. Beautiful views of the ocean. Great outside seating with rocking chairs. We came in for a quick bite before heading back home. The waitress was so kind and helpful and quick to respond. The food was pretty good. Good flavors. Dishes were in the sweet side of jerk vs spicy. The portions were good so a few of the shareable apps had me full. If in the area it's a fun spot that was affordable and good! read more

Food was very good!! Service was excellent and the drinks were fantastic!! Cute place in the marina, lots to look at and it's still quaint.

A super fun and lively restaurant right on the water! Unfortunately the wait for outdoor seating was long so we sat indoors for our visit. The outside deck is where it's at, though! There was even live music. The food was pretty good! I was hoping for a little more flavor based on the stellar reviews, but would still recommend this place for anyone looking for fresh fish/local fair, or someone who likes more home cooked meals. read more

This was our first time and it was wonderful. The food was excellent (2 adults and 4 teenager girls) and all loved it. Chicken fingers, shrimp and scallops Mac and Cheese, fish sandwich, hamburger, chicken Alfredo and Pasta. Service was ok, it was busy to a point. Our server took our drink order, then took our food order, then didn't check on us till time for the bill. No checking on food or drinks or if we needed anything. The atmosphere was great, live music (performer guitarist singer was great) sat looking out over the inlet waterway, even with a crowd wasn't to loud. I would highly recommended this restaurant when visiting Ormond Beach / Daytona Beach area. I will be back next time in Ormond Beach. read more

This a local gem enjoyed by tourists and locals. Service was great and the food was hot and exactly as described. We recommend!

We had a great time here at Caribbean Jack! We opted for sitting inside because we had little ones and it was good but when we walked around, I wished she sat outside because their tables are like rocking benches! Very cool! The peel and eat shrimp was very fresh! My husband had the beef kabob and that was awesome, big thick pieces of beef. I had the scallop and shrimp in this lobster bisques like bowl and my son loved the bisque while I had the shrimp and scallop. Fries were abundance! read more

Visiting Daytona Beach and decided to come here for lunch. The outdoor patio area was closed for renovations and we sat in the dining room. Service was efficient. We ordered the Spinach & Artichoke dip. Chips were fresh and crisp. The dip was creamy and a little tangy. For our entrees, we had the sweet and spicy baby back ribs and the catch of the day - snapper. We had it blackened and grilled with mango pineapple salsa, jack''d potatoes ( like a potatoes au gratin), cold slaw and a side salad. Portions are generous so we split the entrees among the 3 of us! Ribs were flavorful and fell off the bones. Fish was fresh well prepared. Cole slaw was crunchy and a little sweet. Jack'd potatoes were ok. Mango pineapple salsa was a little flat. Had to pass on desserts.... read more

Caribbean Jack's is one of our favorite restaurants! The fried shrimp is very good and their clam chowder is the best in the area. They put bacon in their chowder and everyone knows that bacon always makes anything taste better. The onion rings are also quite good. It's very nice to sit outside when the weather permits. Give it a try, you will not be disappointed,. read more

My friend and I really liked this place. We got gator bites as an appetizer. We thought it was a bit too chewy, but definitely not bad. For entrees I got the Sweet and Spicy Jerk Chicken Pasta and my friend got Sautéed Scalops and Shrimps. I thought the jerk chicken tasted great and my friend thought the shrimp tasted good and the creamy cheesy sauce paired well with it. He's not a fan of seafood, so this was good praise. I got a Pina colada and an Island Paradise in one of their souvenir cups. One of the best pina colada's I've had, and the island paradise tasted amazing. If you like fruity drinks you'll want to get those! sweet hushpuppies and mashed potatoes read more

The food was veryyy mediocre which was a shame because the online reviews were great. Carribean Jacks had other pros, but the food was not one of them. I ordered the Stickin Jerkin Chicken and did not like it. The chicken was burnt and the rice seasoning was not good. The only part of the meal that was tasty was the mango salsa. I didn't try their drinks but I wouldn't come here for the food. Now onto the pros, our server Stephanie was nice and our food came out quickly. The restaurant theme was also very cool, the interior reminded me of Margaritaville. They had many seating options. We sat outside and the view was fantastic. You could see the marina filled with docked boats and the river right behind you. read more

Decided to go here on my last day of vacation. And it did not disappoint. Had been here a long time ago and I think it may have gotten better. I sat at the outside bar on the patio and they had live music tonight. The service at the bar was really good, bartender Abby was very personable and helpful. Started out with the rum smuggler cocktail and the Caribbean pickles. The pickles were top notch with a bit of a kick. They had some many good options next for entrees. It was between the tacos ( they had gator and being from Florida gator is so good) but I decided on the fish and shrimp basket with coleslaw. The breading on them was light and really good seasoning. Will definitely be back as it's not a long drive from home for me!!!! read more

I had here twice actually on a recent trip to Daytona beach. Live music, great service, and the food was really good. This had one of the best atmospheres that we had found as we enjoy the outside seating. We even saw a dolphin swimming in the harbor area. We love local bands, as it really makes the dining experience nice. The drinks were really good with a full menu and bar area. I would definitely come back next time I'm in town. read more

Okay; not bad pseudo tropical decor in the back end of a marina just on the mainland. It wasn't overly miserable outside so we sat undercover at the outdoor bar, which is simply a continuation to the indoor one. First out was fried gator tail. As U can see from picture, the nuggets were of varying sizes, and varying states of tenderness. The bigger, the more rubbery. Smaller ones were tender and almost reminded me of a clam strip in texture and flavor. I settled on one of their so-called signature items: "Stickin Jerk Chicken." Seasoned with jerk rub and basted with jerk sauce as it's grilled. They dump the little skewers atop a pile of dirty rice and there is mango pineapple salsa on the side. Queen Bee also opted for something from the poultry kingdom: Island Jerk Chicken Tacos. They come with dirty rice and that same salsa along with "Caribbean slaw." Other prep options are blackened or grilled. Alternate proteins are mahi, shrimp, tuna or gator. Word of Warning: U assemble UR own tacos; the kitchen doesn't. A notable turnoff is Alana, the barkeep going off duty not long after we got there. She didn't give us an option to cash out. So $10.65 for our gator nuggets and two waters. So for that involuntary transaction she gets $1.35 tip. Loud, obnoxious and borderline rude, we are both glad that she left. She kept flirting with the dirty old men sitting round the bar all the while. At least her replacement got the idea when we told her we weren't in any hurry. After coming round once more, we then placed our entree orders. After a bit too horribly long wait time, out they came. Since we both got dishes with jerk chicken, dirty rice and salsa, this can be simply described. Chicken was well flavored and grilled, even before the jerk seasoning. It definitely had heat, to which the salsa provided a good counterpoint. Her chicken, however, was dry; the sauce bath on mine kept it from being anything CLOSE to dry. Rice was a step above a rice mix from the old Sysco truck. However it was not a step and a half or two steps above. It reminded me more of Caribbean peas and rice than dirty rice, which traditionally has chicken livers as a flavoring. This stuff had black beans rather than pigeon peas. So Sysco mix and a can of black beans, maybe? Her tortillas definitely had seen better days as the edges of a couple of em were stale and hard. Slaw had a slightly sweeter flavor from a little pineapple tossed in. By the time we finished (QB left most of her so so rice), we'd had enough. For $48 I expect better. If this is the house that Jack built, I'll quite gladly rent 'em a wrecking ball. read more
