We visited while on a vacation in the Daytona Area. Fun vibes, water view on the intercostal, ample parking. Servers were very friendly and amenable. Food was good, had a couple large oysters, shrimp basket, and special wraps. Lots of fried seafood options, but many can be prepared grilled or blackened as well.

Great local seafood restaurant. It was recommended by several people familiar with the area. We ate outside on the deck and enjoyed a great view. We tried the conch fritters as an appetizer and recommended them. We went with shrimp and scallops for our dinner. Excellent choice. Our waitress was quite nice and seated us outside at a great table. Definitely a place that locals frequent. It's somewhere worth trying.

First time here and we loved it. We were going to go to aunt catfish but they told us they had a party of 200 and it would be 1 hour wait minimum. We found this place and it was great. We had half pound peel and eat shrimp, grits with blacken shrimp and crab Pattie sandwich . The service was great and the food was delicious. We sat outside and it was really a nice relaxing lunch.

Overall very satisfying place by the water under a bridge. Hence the name. Seafood is their specialty but also offer other meals. Staff is friendly and people are friendly and welcoming. Ordered the Crabcake Sandwich with onion rings, others ordered fish sandwich and fish and chips. All liked the food. The onion rings and fries had a seafood taste meaning the same place fish are fried. But otherwise it's good. I'll visit again.

Exactly what you'd suspect in the touristy area of Daytona. And actually, exactly what you WANT in that area. It's on the river side, but a nice view. Decent Bar, and they were offering a kind of "Rum punch" thing that was sweet and tasty. Fried Seafood is the order of the day, natch. I had a combo plate (Fish/Shrimps/Scallops/ClamStrips). It was a well-prepared meal-nothing new under the Florida sun, but it did hit the spot. Son-in-law had a broiled fish he reported was "dry". The feed was exactly as I thought it would be, and that was ok. When I go to Florida, this is the kind of stuff I want to eat. You can tell if the oil is old, and if they were just phoning it in for the turistas. Neither of those things were in view here. Service was friendly, and pro, so I'm throwing a solid 4 for fine Florida Coast Bread and Circuses.

This wasn't the place I thought it was, but it was fine. Friendly bar with good service. A little warm with no ac and not much of a breeze. We ordered the fish dinner and salad with fish. The choice was grilled mahi or fried flounder. We had the mahi blackened. It was just right for me, a little too spicy for the wife. Started with a half dozen steamed clams, received 7. They were delicious and came with melted butter crackers and horseradish. The beer was chilled to perfection. Small rap selection but Jai Alai was the current rotating tap. Good atmosphere and decent food. Mostly locals - I think the bartender knew everyone else by name. Worth a visit especially between lunch and dinner.

Here we are again another year later! Kathy is in her spot behind the bar, which and whom we missed last year. However she seems to have remembered us right off the bat! That's always nice to see no matter where one goes. Well: maybe other than state prison or the local courthouse anyway. First thing my dear Queen Bee wants is their fish spread. As I've noted elsewhere, it's mahi-mahi smoked right here in their own smoker, which is where they also do their ribs. Of course I'm still not gonna waste my tummy space on ribs at a seafood shack. Of course i defer to the Queen Bee, which is why I didn't get conch fritters: again! Well I certainly DID opt for my favorite for dinner: crab cakes! My usual option is the sides of wild rice & pups. Queen Bee couldn't quite make up her mind as I imagined gnawing on those crab cakes. While she figures this out, I'll go back to the smoked fish spread. Good God, that stuff is mahi mahi magic. I never figured I could care that much about smoked fish scraps. I scraped as much outta that cardboard cup as I could get. Order this stuff or rue the reason you never stopped here! Seems like my crab cakes had a lil more filling and less crab than in years past. Wild rice and hush puppies are wild rice and hush puppies. Cakes were still good though; I'd get 'em again. If I meet my cousin here Wednesday then I'll have my chance! Queen Bee for grilled scallops with slaw and pups. Scallops were grilled quite nicely and still tender sweet! They weren't super well seasoned tho, which is why I'd probably get 'em blackened were I to have ordered 'em. Slaw was a not too sweet iteration one doesn't expect to find down south. All in all, not too bad. We cashed out with Kathy to the tune of $93 plus tip. Three pitchers and all the food; not horrible for where we are. Whenever we return to Daytona this is still gonna be one of our must stops. Thanks meantime to Kathy as always and all the hardworking folks who keep it goin' strong.

We come here time and time again. Every time we come we seem to have a different experience. We'd just come off a fishing boat at the Dunlawton launch and were pretty hungry so we decided to come here since it was close by. It was just after lunch time on a weekday and was still pretty packed, but we got in line, placed our order and found a nice place to sit outside where we could watch the world go by. I ordered the fish sandwich and was pretty pleased with the freshness and taste. The cole slaw is not very exciting but still has good flavor. My husband got a fish basket and our friend got a sandwich as well. Everything was good, and I actually liked the hush puppies this time. Wierd. Service was great, the server came over often to fill up the tea and water glasses and kept us in cold beers. Again, I wish Yelp had half points because this should be a 4.5 star review. I took off a star because the order station took a long time as one of the cashiers kept wandering off as the line got longer and longer so only one cashier would be taking all of the orders. This seems to be a consistent problem every time we've come. Otherwise, we thoroughly enjoyed our meal and time at the restaurant.
