Barracuda’s Bar & Grille

Great little beach bar, but the food was meh.
Wings were filled with so much oil that they were dripping with it when you took a bite. They were really nice and took these off of the bill for us.
Amore flat bread was soggy and the cheese was half congealed when it was brought to the table. The pine nuts tasted stale.
Pulled pork sandwich with potato wedge fries was reported to be very good.
Burger was ok but slightly under cooked.
Not sure we’ll be back for food, but maybe a margarita.

Arrived here on a Friday night at 9:30 pm. They said they were closed. Hours of operation are until 11 pm.

Friendly staff, prompt service, great food and beverage selection. The daily specials are also cool!
We enjoyed chatting and bantering with the other patrons, many of whom were local folks. We came here multiple times during our week here… VERY consistent!
This is our first vacation to New Smyrna Beach, but it definitely won’t be our last… Places like Barracuda’s helps make the decision to return easy!

We had our beach wedding reception here Saturday night May 21^st at Barracudas. We were set up on the upper deck, with a fantastic view. The weather was fantastic and the the staff was great. Jimmy the manager was very easy to work with and it was really easy to have a relaxed reception that our family and friends really enjoyed. The food was amazing as well. Thank you Barracudas!

We just had our small wedding dinner at Barracudas on Saturday. It was awesome. We were originally going to have in the covered patio, but to our surprise, they set us up on the outdoor patio. There were canopies and it was a beautiful evening. The menu was just like we agreed upon. Jimmy mason was awesome. They allowed me to drop off my cake/​cupcakes earlier that day along with holders. When it came time for the cake/​cupcakes, jimmy took it upon himself and set it all up, decorated the table. We had plenty of food, everyone took some home! It was a cash bar, but all the wait staff was amazing! !

We went here for lunch!!! Cheesesteak (added jalapeños) and fries… So good. John, the bartender, friendly and fun!!! Had a great couple hours. We’ll be back! Oh, the key lime pie… Pretty good!!!

Drink menu had half of their drinks scratched off and unavailable. The food was good nothing out of this world; standard bar food. The buffalo shrimp appetizer was good. I had the fish tacos and they were ok, they were missing flavor… Perhaps some fresh herbs? There was some plain corn on it that left much to be desired. A fresh salsa would have been nice or some memorable sauce. Service was slow but the server was friendly. It was a Saturday night and there was a lady with a killer voice singing. She was phenomenal. We sat outside and enjoyed the evening. I recommend this establishment make their menu smaller and introduce more quality. The restroom wasn’t well maintained. Lots of potential with the location and private parking. Not awful but not worth a return visit. The singer was memorable.

I had a great time here. They had a great live music band and good food. They were even very dog friendly.

Went with friends after a short afternoon at New Smyrna beach, sat outside underneath their large canopy while a small rain storm passed through. The menus are nearly falling apart and tattered. so odd. LOL
Things ordered by my friends were the Jumbo Maryland Crab Cake ($ 13), a pound of crab legs and blackened shrimp and I ordered the Barracuda burger which was a half pound beef patty (cooked medium rare) topped with chorizo sausage served on a kaiser roll with cheese, lettuce, tomato, and onion and a side of wedge fries ($ 12). The chorizo was sliced down the middle and just plopped atop the burger, I only ate half of it. The burger was decent, most of the fries were eaten by my friend since I got full halfway through. I don’t enjoying eating raw onions so had to ditch those.

Aweful. Service was terrible. We had to get our own plates, asked for water several times and never got honey mustard. We might have ordered a meal but the greasy inion rings put that idea to rest. Worst $ 15 we spent in a long time.

This review is only for service since we did not order food. My husband just wanted to have one drink. This place is right across the street from the beach. It looks great from the outside and the big banner declaring Monday as Manday which made our decision easy. Well, you only get ½ off if you sit in the bar. There was no where to sit in there. My husband being nicer than me bought two beers anyways and we sat outside in an area that wasn’t open. Service seemed lacking, even for a Monday afternoon.

The atmosphere was fabulous and the guitar singer made me want to come back. But don’t order the crab legs or the flat bread. Both the legs and the sun-​dried tomatoes seemed old. Not really palatable.

Waitress was so bad!!! Flatbread was good!!’ Band was good until their friends and family came and they played the same song twice in 45 minutes!!! Omg lmao as lead singer had to read lyrics off her phone as she was singing!!! What a pathetic performance!!! Can’t wait NOT to
Come back!!! First and last time here!!! I so disappointed!!! We won’t be back because of waitress!!! Such a same because food was good! Management needs new wait staff!!! On way out I complained to manager sue and she gave us a 25 $ certificate off for next time and as we were leaving waitress got confrontational with me and I gave manager her 25 $ certificate back!!! Manager let waitress talk back to me rudely!!! I guess staff who are bad are more important than paying customers!

We were looking for a place to eat that didn’t have the usual fried stuff. The menu looked promising so we tried it out. We saw the Unilocal app also offered a free appetizer.
It was a slow night, (Sunday) and we were sat right away. We ordered our free app (fried calamari) but it never came. The waitress forgot to to put it in :\ we finally got it with our meal.
I ordered the paella and it was delicious! It was also a lot, it could have easily been shared by two adults.
The rest of the family enjoyed their meals also. My five year old ordered a hot dog from the kids menu and it was huge! Not a little boiled dog like in most places. Most of the Meals were served with steak fries which were also really good and well seasoned.
The only negatives were the service. I felt like the waitress was sub par with her attention. She checked on us once but never refilled our drinks and seemed pre occupied with other things even though she only had one other table.
I highly recommend the restaurant. The food was fantastic and the prices were very reasonable. Hopefully you won’t get the same waitress as we did.

This was my first time here and was definitely pleasantly surprised. The wait staff was very friendly and not over-​bearing. They read cues when I wanted attention or needed something instead of interrupting me every other bite. Loved the love musician. The covered patio provided shade while enjoying the nice ocean breeze. I would’ve loved to seen the ocean better from my table but I chose to avoid the sunny patio. The food was tasteful, moist. just delicious. I had the chicken alfredo which was an enormous portion and enough for at least 2 people. Large chicken breast used and very moist and full of flavor. My guest had the chicken cordon Bleu wrap with bacon which was a great combo of flavors. The potato wedges were crisp and seasoned just right. The sweet potato fries are like I have up north, seasoned with cinnamon and sugar and a perfect crisp. Highly recommend.

Great food, great service, great music!
Great time!!!
We had a pound of peal and eat shrimp appetizers shared by four of us, fish tacos and burgers. Sat outside on a lovely fall evening. A little fire burning to take the chill out of the air. Very nice atmosphere!

Uneventful. Mediocre food, specials «don’t apply».
Had the crablegs with «butter” — tasted like vegetable oil.
The server got the order wrong first round and we received peel and eat shrimp — hot. Not good at all with canola butter.
Bartender had to go to the other bar to make our drinks.
Sketchy crowd lurking outside on the deck.

What a great place to have great food, service and watch your favorite team after a day at the beach! Michael was our server and a wonderful young man and server! He was AWESOME! I recommend this place for the food and service! All around great bar! Thank you Michael!!!

Food was average bar food, the mahi Ruben wrap and calamari was good and the scene was nice and they had live music. Wayne, our waiter was cool and attentive in the ways you want a waiter to be. I’d go back.

This is a cute little restaurant /​bar on the beach. I imagine it must come to life at night, I’m too old to find out. Looks like it could be a fun place with an outdoor deck & patio.
My family of three hit this place for lunch. The menu included primarily bar food with a little bit extra kick. It was family friendly at this lunch hour, my son was given crayons & a menu to draw on. His meal was served in a cute little skillet.
I got a chicken sandwich, my husband got fish tacos. Our waiter was pleasant and allowed us to stay long after the check was paid since we were in the midst of a thunderstorm.
No reason not to recommend this restaurant if you’re hanging out at New Smyrna Beach!
