We found Bay Street on Tripadvisor and the reviews were not wrong. It's not by the water but maybe that's why we didn't have to wait on Friday night at 6:30. They had a table waiting on us when we got there (party of 6). The server was great, the food came out quickly and was the best seafood we've had while in Daytona ( and we've had some pretty good stuff). The loaded shrimp nachos were as good as we had hoped when we found this place online. The fried scallops were the best I've had in a long time. One of our party had the fish and chips...just fish and chips right? Wrong! The fish was delicious! Fried shrimp...sorry for being repetitive but also the best we've had all week. This will be top of the list on our next trip to Daytona!
This is a must for anyone visiting Daytona beach- we are visiting from the UK and so pleased we found this restaurant. The food was amazing and the customer service was the best I have come across. Staff were so friendly and so kind- my daughter had sunburn and they gave us the perfect solution to relieve her pain!! You guys are truly gorgeous people!! Would more definitely visit again - thank you ?
I stopped by after a day the beach with my family on Memorial Day weekend. The service polite and fast. The food was fresh, well seasoned and yummy ! ? I like that they have a variety on their menu even if you don’t want to eat fried food.
Stopped by for lunch and ordered fish bites and fish with onion rings. This place is OUTSTANDING! I am picky with fish, especially fried. The young female Chef cooked it to perfection - crispy not greasy AND still moist inside. There are lightly breaded with a good light taste allowing me to try different hot sauces and/or dips. I’ll be back!
After looking for a seafood place on line, my husband and I decided to try this place. We arrived for supper and were the only ones there. Shortly after, the people started coming! Portions are huge!! We were so glad our server recommended sharing the seafood platter! She brought it, already divided on two plates and it was still a lot of food! Prices are very reasonable and our food was delicious. We will definitely be back when we come to Daytona again!
On a recent trip to Daytona Beach we wanted to find a good seafood restaurant that didn't cater to tourists. Several web searches brought up this unassuming local restaurant, so we decided to give it a try. So glad we did, it was an awesome find! The staff is super nice, the restaurant kitschy and fun, and the food stellar! I am gluten-free, and they used a dedicated fryer for my french fries! I had grilled shrimp that was perfectly seasoned, a bit spicy, and delicious. The coleslaw was tasty and crisp, with no bitterness. My companions enjoyed the battered cod, with a huge side of crispy battered onion rings; and the seafood platter, a huge plate with an amazing crab cake, clam strips, fish, and shrimp. A massive side of onion rings and an entire plate of fried okra came with it! We ended up needing a takeaway container! I cannot recommend this restaurant enough, it's amazing!
I love hole in the wall restaurants. Even with GPS, missed it on my first try. Look for the pirate out front. I had never had a fish Reuben before but would definitely have one again. And I would not have expected to have great fried okra as my side in a Florida beach town but super hot and crispy.
NOT FAKE.... I HAVE ALWAYS LOVED THE FOOD AND LAST TIME I DID NOT!!! SOMETHING CHANGED EVEN IF NOT THE RECEIPT.... THE STAFF ARE GREAT THEY JUST HAVE NASTY HYGIENE HABITS.... I WATCHED THEM FOR 20 MINUTES ....... Don't DO IT!!!!! All good things must come to an end. I have eaten here for 10+ years, through owner changes and all. They have recently changed their recipes and everything was gross. Coconut shrimp just taste like fried bland crunchy things. The batter for the fried fish and shrimp was the nastiest thick cornmeal batter ever, just gritty and nasty. The pasta and cucumber in oil (pasta salad) was blah. The rice and corn on the cob were so tasteless. OMG I AM SO DISAPPOINTED!!!! Nothing like seeing $50 of hard earned cash in uneatable food in the trash. I will not go back!!!! Oh and their employees use the restaurant refrigerator to store their personal food items, which they continually go in and out of the cooks and server alike. The cook did not change her gloves one time touching the same handles as the server/cashier who wipes tables, handle money and dirty dishes??????I will NEVER GO BACK!!!!!!!
Great service. Grilled scallops delicious. Fried cod was great. Tried cucumber salad, cole slaw and greens. All were great.
Quality of the food sub-par and compared to previous experience a year or so ago. Crab cakes were terrible, and take out generally soggy. I hope they can improve to a level comparable to part experiences.
