    This was our first time dining at Caribbean Jack’s, and it definitely won’t be the last. We sat outside as a party of four on a Monday night and received very helpful service from our waitress. The food was beyond any of our expectations, and I would recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting Daytona Beach. I’m not much of a seafood person, but I enjoyed the flavor of the jerk chicken pasta. I also tried bananas foster for the first time, and I imagine that it would be difficult to find a better version of it than this one. We had four different entrees plus dessert, and everyone loved their meals. The live music was also very good and helped give the dinner a nice atmosphere. 10/10

    The highlight of this place is the atmosphere of the patio. The sliding outdoor booths is a unique experience. The view of the marine/water is terrific. The food is good, but not great. If you like spicy choose the jerk style for your meat. Another great food feature is that they have several gator dishes - if you like eating alligators. The desserts are amazing! We loved this restaurant!

    Omg such good food!!! I want to come back so badly! Such a great spot in Daytona beach! Tried gator for the first time! Being west Indian I was very happy for the reggae music. The menu is enormous and everything I had tasted great. You won't be disappointed

    First time eating here and the food was very good. We all enjoyed our meals and the views are great looking out over the water. I had the mahi BLT for my meal and it was grilled and blackened. Fish was not over cooked and just enough seasoning with it. I would recommend trying this one for yourself next time done in the area. I will say the waitress was MIA at times but there are enough servers that helped keep our glasses full and that is what helped keep a 5 star rating this trip. Outdoor music was great that night and we all enjoyed the dancing around the deck. Caribbean Jack's - well done until next time!

    The food was good. The special stand out was the fries.... fresh, well seasoned and fried to perfection. The fish Reuben was really tender and gooey just like it should be. We sat outside under the canopy. The view was pleasant the weather was lovely nothing more you could ask for. The service was as good as it gets... friendly and attentive. I highly recommend a visit. They even have gluten free buns available.

    My wife and I visited for our first time after reading the Google reviews for Caribbean Jacks. Very excited and loved the view of the water. We quickly became nervous when the couple next to us complained about their food. We couldn’t quite overhear them, but decided to start our “happy hour” ordering. I am not sure what went wrong with our neighbors, we found the food and drink to be really good and reasonable at happy hour. The service was also very good and the restaurant lived up to the good Google reviews. Thank you Caribbean Jacks for a good experience!

    I loved my food (jerk chicken pasta) my husband thought his food was pretty good(rare tuna with veggies and mashed potatoes) he also tried the alligator. I enjoyed the candles they added to my desert for my birthday too. The live music was nice and we sat outside— thought it was really lovely.

    What a great place! Amazing views, great staff and the food was the best I had all weekend! I got the fried fish sandwich which was lightly batter and perfectly fried with tender fish. Tried a few other dishes that were also wonderful. Will definitely go back.

    A solid option for good seafood, service, and atmosphere. We sat out on the deck with great views of the intracoastal-Halifax River. I had the fried oysters that had a good taste but were pretty small and a touch over cooked. At the table we also had the coconut shrimp and the fish tacos. Both were very tasty. The service was quick and pleasant. We will certainly return.

    Caribbean Jacks is definitely a good place to get food! The service was outstanding! We were seated fast by the host and served even faster by the waitress. The waitress was very helpful with recommendations and she made sure to keep up the energy at the table! She was great! The food was pretty good as well! The calamari tasted a bit different than other calamari that I’ve had but it was probably because of the sauce. The Bloody Mary was reallly good probably the best Bloody Mary I’ve had in all of Florida so far. Atmosphere was great! Only thing I would note is that the ravens are a bit annoying but that is not the restaurants fault.

    Great place! Server was knowledgeable and attentive. We ordered fish tacos, fish and shrimp basket, jerk chicken pasta, and scallops/shrimp with lobster cream sauce over pasta. We all enjoyed our dinner and finished with bananas foster. The guy playing (sorry, didn't get his name) this Monday night is great! We'll visit this place again next time we're in Daytona.

    So, have been running around like chickens with our heads cut off for a minute. Our youngest is going out of state for college and we didn't even realize that we would be on the road for Father's Day when we scheduled his campus visit. Caribbean Jack's was a last minute decision on where to eat. We had a long wait, again forgot that it was Father's Day and a Sunday. Luckily since there was just 3 of us we ended up with a table out side with the view, the cool breeze and the band. Food was great. I had ordered the Coconut shrimp 🍤 basket but got the fried shrimp instead. I was not worried about the mix up. They were closing and the day was already busy. It was still a good meal. My hubby got the fish and shrimp basket and my son the grilled shrimp tacos. I would have taken a picture of their plates but I was not quick enough lol 😆.

    The food is delicious and fresh. It was a delight eating there with my family. The staff was great and very attentive. The Manager Chris took great care of us. The seafood was very fresh. We enjoyed the blackened fish and calamari. I haven’t even mentioned the amazing views. Kuddos to the entire staff give them all raises.

    The food is excellent, and 3 different people besides our waiter checked on us to make sure everything was okay. Great service. I would definitely recommend it.

  • 5/5 Jayda O. 5 months ago on Google
    Waitress was more attentive than most restaurants. Lived our food. We all got something along the lines of jerk flavoring. One friend is allergic to all shellfish and was able to find things on the menu. Didn’t they any deserts but they looked outstanding. Clean restrooms. Sat outside, lovely live band. Little Rock to look at all the boats.

  • 5/5 John V. 5 months ago on Google
    One of the top recommended restaurants in the Daytona area, with good reason. The food and service was outstanding. Indoor and outdoor seating available. Outside there was alive band playing, with a great view of the water. We had a great time with the drinks and generous portion, incredible food and a wonderful server to make it even better.

    I absolutely love this place. The nachos were so delicious, great flavors. The brownie dessert was huge. It definitely could be shared by several people. Our waiter was very nice and helpful. Everyone enjoyed their food. I can’t wait to go back.

    **Depends on who's singing but if you can tell if people are singing off key, don't sit outside... I got the stick and jerk chicken, pineapple mango salsa is an acquired taste, and the chicken was very spicy, but good for someone who loves spicy. Hubs got the voodoo burger, has raw huge slices of jalapenos, but still good. The dessert was good. Got the brownie for dessert, ice cream is good, brownie was a bit dry.

    The food was wonderful, our waitress was great but the most amazing part was the view fro our table. We saw a paddle boat, dolphins, fish and several sailboats. The breeze off the water and the live music was icing on the cake. We thoroughly enjoyed our afternoon.

  • 5/5 Alex b. 2 years ago on Google
    Plan on waiting at least an hour to get in. They were busy! Once we got a table though service was great. There was a band playing. The atmosphere was nice. The food and drinks were wonderful. It was well worth it!

  • 5/5 Michael M. 2 years ago on Google
    Great experience in a beautiful location! They were very friendly and all food cooked correctly! I would recommend the jack'd potatoes as your side, it's a soufflé with monterrey jack and jalapeño cooked with potato, it's made done enough the potatoes are crispy with a good deal of flavor! I had the blackened fish sandwich and it was very good. We also got the Cajun chicken pasta, and a gator bite Alfredo that also turned out very well.

  • 4/5 Keysh 1 year ago on Google
    The was good. It didn't get 5 stars because the temperature when it arrived wasn't where it needed to be but the taste was good! The live band was amazing, my 5 year couldn't keep still due to dancing in his seat for almost every song. All in all, it was a nice experience for my family!

  • 4/5 Ty C. 1 year ago on Google
    Atmosphere was great. Service too a while to service. It didn’t look that busy. Once we got a waitress she was awesome. Salmon was great. Rice was a little dry. Drink was excellent!

  • 5/5 Alicia J. 1 year ago on Google
    Sat outside, some of the tables are like a swing, very cool and different. The server was very friendly and answered all our questions and offered suggestions. I ordered the crab cakes off the appetizer menu, crab cakes were crispy on the outside and flavorful, perfect. Also ordered the nachos, they cam on a long plate so the toppings were dispersed evenly, the chicken was like sweet and soy, very tasty. Beer was cold. Only had the two appetizers. I would definitely go back for a meal.

  • 5/5 Deborah M. 2 years ago on Google
    Went for a later dinner. The waiter was very attentive, kept our water glasses filled. The food took a while but we didn’t mind. The food portions were good. There was a musician who did a good job. Ended each song with, “Cheers!”

  • 5/5 Maya 1 year ago on Google
    Food- I had to try the Gator Bites for appetizers. After so much fried food I needed a salad, and the Coconut Crunchy Shrimp Salad. It did not disappoint. Still fried, but there was so much flavor from the mango salsa to the mango poppy seed dressing. Service- Monica was great! She had the best suggestion for a beer. Try the Sunshine Beer, local to Florida, light, pale ale, perfect for sitting on the marina watching the boats float by. Location- this place is right on the marina. The live music makes the ambiance for this place. Highly recommend!

  • 5/5 Kathrine H. 10 months ago on Google
    Always love this place. Located on the river next to a few marinas. Laid back vibes and a huge porch with lots of options. We had thr seafood mac and cheese and grouper sandwich. Both were really good and our waitress recommended several yummy drink options too. They usually have live music at night and have a huge fire pit on the dock. Will keep coming back, definitely recommend!
