    J's Wings Cappy style at Rick's Surf Bar and Restaurant! #rickssurfbar
    James A.

    Located at the on ramp to Daytona Beach this favorite spot has been re-opened as Rick's Surf Bar and Restaurant. Back in the 80's & 90's this was the famous J's Island Patio. Rick the new owner was a lifeguard back then and has brought back the famous J's Wings done Cappy Style (grilled). Last night I relived my youth and enjoyed hot wings & beer! We also tasted the sliders and sweet potato fries, both of which were excellent! They had live music last night and opened a bar on the patio too with an awesome selection of beers on tap. They open early with a tasty looking breakfast menu. Parking is hard to find so best to find a spot elsewhere and walk. Or call an Über.

    Killer food!Great views too

    Great food with excellent healthy choices smack dab on the world's most famous beach! Can't beat it! Happy hour a must!

    Homemade chips and salsa. So good!
    Rachel S.

    This place is awesome! We didn't except much out of a place right by the ocean except the scenery but we were so wrong! This place has outstanding food! Beautiful view of the ocean. The homemade chips with salsa was the best I've ever had. The teriyaki steak skewers and rice was amazing! My husband had the chicken wings and thought those were great as well. Great beer specials even on a Friday night. The service was great. Richard our server was so friendly and efficient. If we lived out here we'd be regulars for sure.

    Yup. Loved it. From the fun duck theme to the good drinks and service, it's a must try. We we're…read morelooking for a place to meet up with a friend while we were in the area and this came up on the list. We immediately fell in love with the name of it and decided this was where we were going to try. It was a little bit awkward to find since it's kind of tucked into another building. But once you were inside it was very intimate and cozy. There is limited seating so during busy times I could see how you might have to wait for a little bit. But they do have high tops and bar seating available. They have a few games that you can borrow while you're there stacked along the windows and on a shelf. The drink menu is available by QR code, or you can look up at the screen on the far wall. I would recommend trying a flight if you're debating between a few options. That's a great way to try a few things without settling on a large glass of something you may not fall in love with. Overall: A+ When we're back in the area we'll definitely stop in here again. Be sure to try a flight so you can experience multiple different flavors. Give one of the fun games ago to keep yourselves entertained.

The place is in a cool building with a courtyard in the middle. The swag was really cool, just wish they had a bigger fitted cap. The bar is good to pull up to with other tables around. The bathroom in the back is funny with their black cat theme. Overall, it is good to see breweries in the area to serve something different with great service.

This place has a nice vibe and the owners are really dedicated from what I could see. They are opening a patio with a larger menu and getting a liquor license, hopefully by summer. Tucked away on the first floor of the Fountain Square plaza, we enjoyed the friendly clientele and the reasonably priced wine and beer. House wines for only $6 per glass, but we noticed a few couples purchasing bottles to save a few bucks. They are off to a good start! Just the Sampler was all fried (which we knew) and was served with no plastic cutlery and only one napkin for 2 people, no salt and pepper until requested. The cold cheese dip was good but could have been warmed and more plentiful. Maybe a salsa side would have worked too. Ranch, anyone? Everything was nicely cooked and served hot. The beef empanada was seasoned really nicely and the filling seemed to have peppers and onions. The chicken one seemed to be all breast meat as the filling. Better than all fillers, but some more seasoning would have been good. The yucca fries were nicely done and there were 3 types. One was a cheese bite that could have been crispier but had a nice flavor. We will come back, probably when the patio opens and the menu expands. After all, what is a speakeasy without a highball?

    I have been going to this restaurant for over 20yrs. It's just as wonderful as I remember it…read more Servers/bartenders are always a pleasure and great service. The food just brings back so many happy memories and quality and portion size is great for cost. I always love just looking around and staring at the walls & shelves. You never know what you might spot. This time I ended up brining home Pickle beer after curiosity won and a chat with a bartender. It was fun brining my oldest back and sharing memories with him. Definitely give the schnitzel cordon bleu sandwich out on a brioche bun. That was absolutely divine! This is probably the only original thing left in the Volusia Mall at this time. It's a gem!

This place is decked out with tons of vintage signs, cool craft beer and a nice deli menu with tons of options. The atmosphere was really cool. When I went to the mall to go to stores, I didn't expect this to be my favorite place. I don't know what I'm gonna eat. Next time I go back, but I will definitely be trying one of their beers from there. absolutely huge collection of options. I got the Reuben sandwich because I asked and that's what they told me was the best seller. It was a nice sandwich that I didn't think was too overly priced. $13 for a Reuben on rye bread and with potato chips. It definitely deals and looks like it's a Volusia County Staples. If you're in the area, you should at least walk by and look around.
