When out of town family comes back and asks to eat here first, you know you've found a winner. The menu is honestly impressive.

You walk up to a window to order your food and either take it to go or sit at one of the outdoor picnic tables. We tried the gator bites, barbacoa tacos, southern style wings and the Mac & cheese.

We wanted to try the ribs but they weren't ready yet so will have to try those next time. Highly recommended!

Famous for their Frankenstein wings so we had to go and give them a try. We started with a dozen…read moreraw oysters ($18!), great price and a good size. We also ordered their soup of the day, Shrimp and Corn ($8.99). The soup was very watered down, the shrimp were tiny/miniscule and a lot of potatoes. Thumbs down on the soup for the price point. Unsweetened tea $3.75 and a pint of Yuengling $4 were very reasonably priced . Nice selection of draft brews and bottled beers too. 10 wings for $16.50 with the famous Frankenstein sauce were not overly impressive for size, sauce and price. However, they came with a blue cheese sauce that was better than any blue cheese we ever had, because you couldn't taste the blue cheese . We also ordered the Angus Burger and fries. The burger was cooked perfectly to the requested medium rare and the crinkle cut fries perfectly crispy per our request. We absolutely had to try the cheesecake from Patties Cheesecakes down the road. We had the Carrotcake Cheesecake and it was amazing for our dessert. The place is big, plenty of parking, full bar and very loud. Service was interesting. 1st waitress took our drink order and oyster order. 2nd waitress took our wing order. 1st waitress came back and took my beer and burger order and 3rd waiter cleared our plates and took our dessert order. Support local, give them a try. Good location, friendly staff and customers

I had high hopes for Merks Bar & Grill, but this was one of the most disappointing restaurant…read moreexperiences I've had in a long time. The biggest issue came when my daughter found a long, nasty hair cooked into her quesadilla. To their credit, they did remove it from the bill, but that's where the customer service ended. I ordered the "jumbo hand-breaded fried shrimp," and what arrived looked nothing like what was advertised. Instead of jumbo, hand-breaded shrimp, I was served what appeared to be a dozen tiny, pre-breaded frozen shrimp, likely the kind you'd buy in bulk from a food distributor. The shrimp themselves were extremely small and hidden under an unusually thick coating of breading to make them seem larger. To make matters worse, the cocktail sauce was congealed and completely inedible. What really turned a bad meal into a terrible experience was the lack of service. Our server never once came back to check on us after the food was delivered. She never asked how everything was or noticed that I barely touched my meal. When I brought this up to the manager, hoping they would at least acknowledge the poor service and disappointing food, I was met with an attitude instead. Her response was, "I'm not giving you any discounts on that because we already took the quesadilla off the check." I wasn't demanding a free meal. I simply expected someone to care enough to ask why an untouched entrée was sitting on the table and to address the issues professionally. Between the hair in the food, the misleading shrimp, the inedible cocktail sauce, the inattentive service, and the dismissive manager, this was an experience I won't be repeating. Unfortunately, I can't recommend Merks Bar & Grill based on this visit.

We've been here twice now so I can confidently say it's consistently good!…read more Both visits we got the wings which come out nice and crispy - the sauces are pretty standard and their hottest doesn't even turn my head, but the goon sauce is very flavorful so it's still a solid wing option. They do a good burger, charred just right and will actually cook medium rare if you order it! The Caesar was slightly over dressed but the blackened mahi I got on top was cooked expertly and not too salty. The clam chowder is well balanced I like a lot of places where it's so thick your spoon stands up or the broth is nothing but thickened milk with no flavor. Potato chunks were a big big but clams were there so I was happy. We've gone early lunchtime on weekends both times and it's been fairly quiet with very attentive servers. The decor is nautical but clean and not cheesy and the tables and booths are comfortable.

I wish I would have remembered to take pictures because the mini waffles were gorgeous!

I highly recommend the sweet potato mini waffle. It tasted like Thanksgiving and it was the best chicken breast I've ever had. Perfectly seasoned and perfect texture!

This place is right along Flagler Avenue and not too far from the beach. We went on a quiet evening and sat outside on the patio. Inside was live music and lots of chatting patrons so we opted for the quiet outdoors. My sense was this place can get pretty lively. The server was friendly, easy-going, and attentive without being annoying. The key lime margarita was delicious--creamy and bright citrus hits. The fried haddock was well done- not greasy, a good size piece of fish, a yummy tartar sauce, and really good fries. The black grouper was solid too. Good size piece of fish, grilled such that it was still juicy and yummy, and the bun was good too. Keep in mind that this place can get really busy during the weekends and especially weekends in the summer. Definitely worth stopping in! We look forward to making our way back there again.

So glad we did, because we had an excellent experience! Ironically, as we walked up to the establishment, a random guy who had just parked his pickup told us "that place is really good!" This gentleman's foreshadowing was on point. Upon entering our waitress, Emily, greeted us with a warm welcome and seated us in the outdoor area. She was very friendly and her customer service was excellent. We proceeded to order the large pie special which included 4 specialty options on their rectangular style pizza, all on the same pie! This was perfect because we all wanted to try different pizza's. All the selections looked interesting but we decided on the following 4: Simple Man (roma tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, fresh basil), Paradise City (ham, bacon, pineapple), Hair Of The Beast (roasted chicken, bacon, banana peppers, jalapenos, blue cheese, roasted garlic, mild buffalo drizzle), and Nothing But A Good Time (pepperoni, sausage, ham, mushrooms, onions, green peppers, black olives). Can I just say, that ALL of these were fantastic in their own way?! But I must say that the paradise city and Hair of the beast were my fav's. Special shoutout to the fresh basil and fresh mozzarella on the Simple Man pizza.

In the past, we've had the Greek salad, which was also great. The Greek salad is definitely more filling, but both are great options for an appetizer. We also ordered wings; unfortunately, the kitchen only had enough for one order, so we left wanting more. That said, they were excellent. The wings are smoked all day and then grilled, which really makes them unique--and what makes them the best wings in New Smyrna Beach. I'd recommend trying the Wild Side (I think that's what it's called); it combines all the flavors and is really good. We will definitely come back when we're in New Smyrna Beach.
