Lagerheads Bar & Grill

Casual, dog friendly, outdoor dining with live music. Great view of the ocean from your table.

Best mussels EVER. But, they close whenever they feel like it so I’m giving them a 2-​star review bc it’s frustrating having to drive around your butt to get to your elbow from mainland and then the dang place is closed when you get there at 8pm… Yeah not cool.

This is my 1^st visit here… I was just driving by, feeling the hunger, so I turned into this place… so glad I did! I ordered the fish & chips, comes with beer battered fish, fries & cole slaw. The fish was so flavorful & HUGE!, & they let me substitute sweet potato fries in place of regular fries. The sweet potato fries were cooked just right, not soggy, but not over cooked like at most restaurants; they serve the sp fries with a raspberry jalapeño dip that adds just the right touch — & I normally hate anything that has jalapeños in it. I HIGHLY recommend the fish n chips. 2 thumbs up!

Perfect mixed seafood basket
Great Philly steak
Shrimp scampi was excellent
Waitress was very personable and service was great. Live music was nice on the beachfront.

Comfortable, casual beachy atmosphere.
Limited but very good seafood menu.
We had the blackened grouper and the shrimp Po Boy Sandwich. Both were very good, as was the New England Clam chowder.
Live entertainment added to our pleasant experience.

We stop here every time we’re in town. We love the food, drinks, staff and the view can’t be beat!

Bleh.
I should’ve listened to the Unilocal reviews, but to my defense this wasn’t my choice.
I was visiting a friend in the area and this restaurant was less than a mile away from her apartment. Lagerhead’s is located across the street from the beach and if you decide to seat outside, you do get a partial view of the ocean, basically the only thing I enjoyed from my experience.
For once my group wasn’t in a drinking mood, so we only ordered water (good idea after all). My gf and I ordered the hot chicken wings and the blackened grouper fillet, which comes with 2 sides (we chose sweet potatoes and vegetables). The fish was not fresh and lacked seasoning, the vegetables were bland and the sweet potatoes were soggy. The wings were also a huge disappointment, the chicken was chewy and I’m afraid it tasted like they came out of a bag or had been cooked a while ago. We decide to order clams strips to go and this was the only food we liked. I think some of the other reviewers suggested to order their fried seafood, because it’s hard to mess that up and I agree.
The fact that the restaurant was old and run down didn’t bother me; a lot of times places like this by the water have the best and freshest seafood. Unfortunately, Lagerhead’s is not one of them. Also the service left a lot to be desired and our waitress had an attitude.
I gave it 2 stars instead of 1 because of the location/​view and the live music.

I was happy the food came out so fast. Not surprising, food was undercooked… That explains why the food came out so fast. French fries were far from done. Coleslaw tasted «spoiled».
Sat outside, chairs were sticky, table sticky. Eeeesh. Musician playing was really good. That was the best part about the whole place. Not the best service.

My best friend and I stopped here after a visit to a nearby spring; needless to say we were searching for a place that would not mind we were not dressed up, AT ALL. We found Lagerheads on Unilocal and decided to stop. they were much more crowded than we had anticipated. Service was a little slow but the waitress seemed to have her hands full and we were in no hurry.
I ordered the fish and chips and it was PERFECT I have absolutely nothing bad to say about the food. I would definitely recommend this place to others as well as stop in again.

Aged but beachy décor. Place looks a little dirty (flies dead in window seal). The service was slow but waitress really nice about it. They had live music outside on the patio playing Jimmy Buffett on a Friday night.
The food was good and that’s what got the four stars. We tried the crabcakes… decent but of course I found shell in mine. We both got fried fish and seafood baskets which you cannot go wrong with. The fish was delicious! I also got shrimp and clams — hold the oysters which were yummy as well. They have regular or sweet potato fries and both were good.
This is a good spot in between Ormond beach and Flagler beach if you are hungry!

The best grouper sandwich I’ve ever had! The grouper reuben is amazing. I’m already thinking about when I can come back and order it again. Our dog loved it here just as much as we did. The staff greeted us immediately and brought out a bowl of water for our dog. Everyone was so kind and took time to stop by and pet our dog. They even brought her a dog treat! We really enjoyed the laid back beach atmosphere!

This really should be a ‘no star’ review but the only thing this place has going for it is location. Right across the road from a beautiful beach. The two drinks ordered from the bar came with bugs and bug pieces floating around and the seafood platter ordered was very greasy. The fries in the basket were soggy. Not a good experience at all.

Any one who thinks this place knows how to make a fish taco doesn’t know what an authentic fish taco should be. Period. BIG disappointment.
There was:
NO Pico de Gallo WRONG!
NO shredded cabbage (they used lettuce) WRONG!
NO Cilantro
NO white sauce (they offered sour cream on the side) WRONG!
NO black olives
NO lime (came with lemon) Lemon? Who puts lemon on a fish taco? WRONG!
NO CLUE!
One more thing — Key Lime Pie is supposed to taste like the LIMES, not the sugar.
And it is not supposed to have meringue on the top. Seriously. Get real, people.
Otherwise it would be called «Key Meringue Pie».
Nice deck. Great ocean view.

We can walk to this place from our condo, so we come here often. Tonight I asked for an off menu salad. I wanted the Greek salad with shrimp instead of chicken. They were quite busy, but our food came out promptly and the shrimp were great. They didn’t charge extra for the substitution which was a nice surprise.

My Mom wanted to come here for Mother’s Day breakfast, but they said they ended service early. The reason they had to end breakfast early is because, «they got slammed». I am in such disbelief they actually were busy on Mother’s Day who would of thought that. Poor management usually equals a bad Restaurant experience usually. To bad they lost out on our party of 10.

Cute place with a nice outside sitting overlooking the ocean. I order the grilled Vegetable wrap with chicken tortilla soup which is bit spicy just the way I like it. My husband order their fish and chips made from haddock.

This place is near our beach getaway so we gave it a try for lunch. My wife had the fish tacos and I had a grouper reuben. I was pleased with both and we each had sweet potato fries with the raspberry sauce. They have a full bar and great beer selection. We came back for dinner and the food was equal to lunch but our server was having a bad day. They had live music and whats better than music, the ocean, and cold beer.

Homey roadside bar and grill. Seating available with nice view of ocean across the street. Fried oysters and fried fish were both cooked perfectly. Sweet potato fries come with a raspberry/​jalapeño dip. Nice atmosphere. Outdoor big screen TV. Only drawback is they allow smoking on the porch.

We rode our bicycles over for a few beers and appetizers. We had the steamed Cedar Key clams which were good but the seared ahi tuna was off the chain. Much better than I expected. I had a few Hopsecutioners which was good too.
It’s a neighborhood bar and grill and we’ll be back.

I registered specifically to write this review. I live right down the road so it is very frustrating how bad this place is. To start it has very slow service (although they are nice). You will wait a long time to be waited on, to get a refill, etc. The food is terrible. I’ve been here over a dozen times and it’s never good. I keep trying because I live so close and there isn’t another place around for miles. The mixed drinks are consistently terrible and over priced. I switched to wine to at least attempt to enjoy an alcoholic beverage and even that they give it in an extremely small glass (although the actual glass size varies).
The location, view and live music are awesome. Your best bet is to order something fried (can’t be messed up) and drink beer. Order everything at the bar and be your own server.
