Malibu Beach Grill

Overall decent location, good and service. ** Please hit the 👍on my reviews to push them out! I went in for a quick lunch and there wasn't any wait time at all.The staff seemed friendly and accommodating and the restaurant was clean, well lit and quiet.There were not very many people in the restaurant. I got seated quickly , and someone came to my table quickly. I think the prices are fairly average for Florida. I ordered the appetizer which was the cheese and artichoke dip. Honestly, it was not great. It tasted like any other supermarket brand that you can buy. It didn't taste authentic at all - it almost tasted artificial. Not a fan. The baguettes that it was Served with were good soft, crispy on the edges and overall great flavor for my main meal. Next for lunch, I ordered the taco shrimp and it was literally sooooo good.. in fact, it tasted fresh, perfectly proportioned and was my favorite of any meal that I've ever had there. The food came out just at the perfect time after finishing my appetizer. Then for dessert, I ordered a small brownie and it was really good as well. Although really, I didn't have much room, so only had a few bites of it with the rest to take home. Overall, the service here is really good. It's efficient, quick, accurate and friendly. I thought that the pricing was pretty good. .about thirty dollars for my entire meal , which is good considering I had an appetizer , a main meal and then dessert! I'll go again for the shrimp tacos, skip that appetizer and dessert.

By far our favorite restaurant to visit. Family friendly, brunch friendly, and date night friendly! The fried asparagus is no longer an appetizer, but you can order it as a side dish! The hand crafted drinks are THE BEST in the area! I don’t know how he does it, but Colin is a gifted bartender who comes up with new drink recipes that never disappoint!

This is the absolute go to place for good food and good drinks! We always order the calamari appetizer and it's wonderful. The calamari steaks are so tender and cooked too perfection. The drinks are out of this world and Colin is the best bartender. Service is excellent. Emily is one of the best servers they have. Food comes out on time and always hot and delicious. We go every Monday for half price martinis. You won't be disappointed!

Had our Women's Ministry Christmas party there. The atmosphere was wonderful the decor was beautiful and the food delicious. I had the salmon fish 🐟 and salad 🥗 😋

We had a private party recently with family we were visiting in Daytona and our experience was lovely. I’m here with this review because we were so impressed with how well they handled our larger party. The service was timely, but patient. Service never felt rushed while we sat back and enjoyed each other’s company in the private room. The drinks were great, and the higher end selections were much appreciated. The food was everything we’ve grown to expect of Malibu Beach Grill. We look forward to our visit each trip to Daytona! If I had one criticism, it would be that the dining room could use some minor maintenance to bring the space’s presentation in-line with the atmosphere they are going for. Still such a great place regardless!

We are new to the area, and was nervous about trying something new since we have never heard of a Malibu Grille. Fortunately we had an amazing dinner and the food was outstanding. Our hostess, Julia, was so kind and welcoming and made us feel comfortable right away. Great experience overall!

Food was terrible, even the dessert, the waiter was excellent!! He should get 10 stars. He was so nice I didn't not even complain to him. I just accepted it and paid the bill. I stopped in because I love San Deigo grill. Thought I would give this a try. I'll be going their when I'm in the area.

Every time I go to Malibu Grill I say to myself, What took me so long getting back here. Had such a Great Lunch today. My Wife and I stopped in at 12 on Sun. Emily took Outstanding care of us!! Great Martinis, Salads & French Onion soup.

Lunch here was great! Really enjoyed the overall vibes of this restaurant. It was a rainy day so not many people were dining in but we really enjoyed our food and our server was on top of it the entire time.

Always our go to place in the past. However something has changed here . Still good, don't get me wrong, just the vibe is not quite what it was. Ordered a martini, informed no olives? Ordered calamari for appetizers, told they were out of them? A bad night, or a bad sign?? Hopefully a bad night, we always enjoy this restaurant. We will return to find out.

Went here for lunch for my dad's birthday and everything was pretty good. Still looking for killer seafood in Central Florida and it's tough. This place was good, not great though. I ordered the Wahoo special as it sounded amazing with a Ginger Stir Fry. I am not a fan of broccoli but this one was delicious. The fish itself was a bit overcooked, but the dish was well crafted. The twin lobster tails were served kinda messy with the lemon butter spilled all over the fries. The waiter brought fresh fries and another lemon butter, but it was kind of congealed like a thick mayonnaise. Not really dippable. The lobster was good though. The wedge salad was delicious! Fresh and cheesy. And the birthday boy got a free dessert and he chose the chocolate one (smart boy). It was also pretty good and disappeared the fastest of all of the food. I wasn't in a drinking mood (I know, right?) but I will say their drink menu looked phenomenal. There were at least 4 drinks that I wanted (typically, it's 1-2 on a normal cocktail menu). I'd definitely go back as they had a pretty diverse menu. Service was excellent up until the point where it was time to leave. The place got a little busy on a Saturday afternoon. But the drink menu is the reason I want to return. Then head to Homegoods for drunken shopping!

I don't know how we made the mistake of eating at this restaurant again on a drive to South Florida. I (as always trusted Yelp) and because there are limited options in this area, we went in. As soon as we walked in, we knew we had been here years ago and it was bad. We should have left. The server was nice enough but he was waiting tables, working the bar, and the whole experience was a disaster along with bad food. Fish tacos were fishy and awful! Wrap was not good. Service was awful. My husband had to go find him after us being there an hour to get our check. Stay away! We will not go there again. Period.

Excellent service fantastic meals Unfortunately, prices are going up. Haven't been able to return as frequently retired family.

Very good food and reasonable. Had good experience. Service could have been better. Not very attentive but still acceptable. Wedge salad good. Overall definitely would go again.

Service and filet are always on point! My grandma's favorite spot and we are there every few weeks. Only issue is they ruined the New Orlean's Pasta; used to be spicy and even when requested it is still not as spicy as it used to be...only major negative. Will be back again soon.

Food is fresh and very good. servers r nice and accommodating ! Enjoy modern ambiance.

Our server Colin was great and he gave some great recommendations on drinks but i also gotta hand it to those chefs! They cooked my steak to perfection and even steamed the broccoli perfectly and the french fries were delicious, i am visiting from California and the food here was top notch compared the restaurants back home. Thank you

Our waitress was top notch, respectful, and attentive. Wait time was about normal and the food was phenomenal. The restaurant itself was not too busy that day but the overall cleanliness was a 10/10. Drinks I would say need a bit more improvement. I would give this location a 4/5 almost a 5/5 if the drinks had a bit more improvement. Overall highly satisfied and would recommend.

Food was very tasty and the service provided by Huyyou was absolutely excellent. She was very attentive and a joyful personality. Great job.

Atmosphere is restful and lovely. Kat,a sweet Polish girl was great! Knowledgeable, honest and accommodating. The food was delish and not outlandishly priced. Bacon wrapped scallops, mmmmm! Filet was tender and wonderfully seasoned. Pork filet was yummy also . The Crème brûlée was not what I expected, but good nonetheless. Victor, I would venture to say was the manager, stopped by to see if there was anything he coulD do to make our visit better. Nope, it Was great!

Two disappointments: menu says "baked potatoes available after 4pm" but when I ordered one at 6pm, they were still in the oven= unavailable. And we added fried shrimp to our steak dinner, and the shrimp was that frozen, flattened, mushy version. We expected a better quality at a BEACH GRILL, ya know??! My cod piccata was a good piece of fish, but that tasteless sauce is NOT a piccata lemon sauce. I was pleased, however, with the fact that the food was not salty, like the Outback is.

For sure one of our favorites! Cocktails on point, friendly staff with a special thanks to Kelly for always being a wonderful waitress! Food is always accurate and fresh! Restaurant is very clean and always bright and cheerful Inside. You won't be disappointed if you have never tried Malibu Grill, give it a try it will quickly become a favorite!

been here many times. this time service was terrible. Told the manager it was terrible. They didn't really seem to care food took forever. We never had any drinks. Nobody came to check on us. We had to keep asking somebody to come check on us. They told us the new. I totally get that but hands-down, the worst service. The food came out cold after waiting 45 minutes for it. Been here many times with good service but this time ruined it for us, we will likely never be back.

We just had a fantastic experience as usual, but it was made even more special by the wonderful service by Bri. She was very modest and credited her coworker, Carl for the cleanliness of the restaurant. Great job. We'll be back.

Food is fresh, prices are fair, portions are generous. Plus it's close to my house. Service is friendly and attentive.

First of all our daughter had made reservations for her family and I made reservations for my wife and I for a different time. When I got there I asked if they could combine the two reservations and handle six people. Front staff said no problem and made it happen. Then at the appropriate time we were given a private dining room where Nick our server was outstanding. Attentive without being intrusive and very nice. Food all around was great. Mushroom appetizer was really good and all food was well prepared. Oh did I mention this was all done today- Mother's Day? This type of service and food would have been outstanding on any regular day but on one of the busiest days of the year is exemplary. We will be back. Thank you for making my wife and daughter's day so special.

Malibu Beach Grill has a pleasant environment outdoor seating, available next to the lake and playground. Their food and service are both reliably good, above average for this area. Prices are a bit steeper than some other options, but the food is just so worth it! The plates usually come with a side of vegetables, and some sort of a starch, or perhaps a second vegetable, which is nice to have,if you're trying to eat healthily. I usually get the citrus scallops, but I've never been let down no matter what I choose. Their desserts are usually equally good and worth the extra spend.

My wife and I love this restaurant. The food is always delicious. The service has always been top notch. We enjoy talking to the staff especially Bri. Check it out!!

We are Foodies and this was an excellent meal!! We were surprised that a resturantb with "grill" in the name could serve such high end food. We had Bacon Wrapped Scalops for an appetizer. They were good but could have used either lemon or maple syrup to go with them instead of mango salsa. One of us had a Ribeye Oscar medium rare with a side of Asparagus and a side of Asiago mashed potatoes. The other had a filet thermodore medium rare with provolone mushrooms and Asiago mashed potatoes. Everything was outstanding! Even the California Mule and a Harvest Spice Martini. Waitress was outstanding and we highly recommend this resturant! We will be back!!

Love the ambiance! A good experience! The only restaurant that is always out of Jack Daniels! 3 visits without Jack Daniels! Ouch! Also ran out of baked potatoes on New Year's Eve at 7:15! I offered to go across the street to Publix for a sack of taters! Service has always been a bit slow but OK. All correctable problems!

Our server Emily G. Was such a delight and excellent server. Our food was delicious we had a hand held California sandwich.

Yesterday, I had a birthday brunch. My party and I was overwhelmed at the service that we received. Emily is nothing short of AMAZING!! She stayed on top of everything and always had a smile on her face. She was so professional and did everything she could to ensure that we all had a great time. If u could have giving 10 starts I would have. I highly recommend this place and give Emily and the rest of the crew my highest wishes of appreciate!! You all will see me again soon!!

We went to Malibu Beach Grill for my 60th birthday. It was superb! Everything was great! We plan on going back for Valentine's Day.

Collin was maybe the best bartender ever! Amazing martini creations- not just "good" drinks but also honesty drinks as a craft- loved watching someone who takes pride in what they do.

We went in for a very late OR very early dinner at 3:30 pm. As basically the only customers at the bar we received friendly and attentive service. The sautéed mushrooms were fantastic! The maui entree was a great size with a tasty edamame succotash. The fish was overcooked! All in all a nice experience. We will return.

Let me brag on Malibu Beach Grill!!!! When I walked in the door the host greeted me with a smile. It seemed like an upscale restaurant in which I asked was there a dress code, he assured me there was no dress code. I asked was there a wait time for a party of 5. He said no wait! By the time I stepped out to get my group and walked back in we were seated immediately. Our waiter was awesome, he said his name was "Clint", just like Clint Eastwood. My kids are like who is Clint Eastwood. I laughed and had to educate them on who CE is and the movie that popped in my head was Bronco Billy, . We ordered spicy shrimp as an appetizer and we had water to drink. Clint suggested some amazing suggestions. The ribs were flavorful and we were able to pull the meat off the bone. My salmon was soooo good along with the Oscar on the side with Asiago mashed potatoes and sautéed spinach. The only two items that need some attention are the crab cakes which were over breaded and the fish sticks were fried hard. We will definitely return when we return.

My wife and I went in to the restaurant last night for dinner and it was not a good experience. I specifically came for the Dayboat Citrus Scallops, a meal that I've had here before and enjoyed. My wife ordered the Lobster and Shrimp Alfredo. We started with the Thai Calamari. This came out to us as greasy fried, square fish sticks? I'm not even sure what kind of fish they were. I have never, ever had Calamari that was not round and hollow and part of the tentacles. We received our meals after a longer wait than usual and I looked down at my $30 Scallop plate and couldn't believe the mess I received. Everything was haphazardly thrown on the plate and the Scallops were a flat, overly cooked and overly butter drenched, mushy mess! I ordered Mushrooms and they were cooked down so much they resembled tiny round dots on my plate. The Broccoli however was cooked okay. Yay My wife's Lobster and Shrimp Alfredo came out minus the Crostini's and with 2 little pieces of lobster and a few small shrimp. The waitress asked how the meal was and I explained my situation, she got the manager and she said that she could provide a better representation of what I expected and possibly some Crostini's for my wife whose plate was 3/4's finished. I did receive better scallops on the 2nd go round after another wait and my wife got her Crostini's while she was taking her last bites of Alfredo. But as you can imagine... these actions really never repair the evening. Next dinner out, I will spend my $96.00 elsewhere.

Bri is the best bartender I've ever had!! Go see her and let her make you an espresso martini

I just had the best experience at Malibu beach grill tonight, I had an amazing server named Bri that was super helpful and very sweet. The manager Julianna was also awesome, she made sure to stop by consistently to make sure that everything met our expectations. Aside from the amazing service, the overall cleanliness of the restaurant is also something to rave about thanks to Carl. 10/10

Soup was cold. Chicken Marsala was two breaded chicken breast with a bit of gravy on it. The chef needs to review what chicken Marsala actually is. It was terrible.

This place was even better than I expected and deserves every single star given! It's only a 15 minute drive from the beach and tucked away in a little plaza near a lake. The dining room is nice and inviting, and the staff was really friendly as well. Our server steve (I think that was his name) was awesome! You can tell the people who run this restaurant and kitchen love what they do because every single thing we received was so fresh and delicious. We started with their complimentary baked bread, and I had the chopped wedge salad and my goodness me oh my....It was so good!! The tacos were also perfect and the French fires were the kind of fries you write home about.. everything was on point even down to the churro fried cheesecake. 10/10 from me! I am so glad we tried this place and I definitely recommend it to anyone visiting in the area!!

First time here. Our server Sam was very nice. I had been wanting lobster tails and tonight one of their specials was 2 tails dinner for $30. This was 12$ off the regular price. Everything was good. The creamed spinach and Malibu Salad were great sides for my lobster. Would definitely recommend you try this place!

So we went twice in July both times it was a party of 5. On July 16th and then on July 27th. July 16th the food was really good. Then when we went back they were out of the pork ribeye. The firecracker shrimp didn't have the sauce on it like normal. The steak wasn't hot. 3 of us got baked potatoes and they were so cold that it didn't even MELT the butter. And then the onion rings were completely different from the ones from 11 days ago. These were not as crunch and completely different. For the last 12 years we always go to Malibu when we come to Florida and normally go twice while we are there. Don't think we will go back the next time we are in Florida.

Good food. Consistently good. Out of sweet potato fries. Will definitely go back. They really need to redo booth seats. Holes and needs updating.

We celebrated my sister's birthday dinner with six adults and a 1 one-year old in a high chair. Our server Huy You was outstanding and we were all impressed with her ability to insure an excellent dining experience. The food ordered was very good.

Great Job! Bri and Carl made our evening special. Bri is one of the best bartenders in the area, and Carl is a hard worker. Thanks.

Date night while on vacation. It's a must. Step away from the family for a few hours and just enjoy one another's company Reserved a table, outside. This came by recommendation by a coworker. The menu looked fantastic. And the weather was beautiful to sit outdoors and enjoy a meal. The area is nice. Strip mall-y. But it's nestled in the perfect spot, by a pond. We didn't walk around to check out any sights. But, maybe next time. Stared off with firecracker shrimp. Which is along the same lines as the bang bang shrimp from bonefish grill. Yum!!! Never a disappointment. Also got the fried asparagus. Could've been seasoned more, but delish, nonetheless. We got this on the appetizer trio, which came with calamari also. Very good. And not your typical rings. It was actual chunks and, of course, the tentacles. The sauce that accompanied was delish!!! Husband got to filet. And enjoyed every last bit of it. He got crab cakes as a side, which were a bit on the dry side. Disappointed, to say the least. We like a good crab cake. I got the day boat scallops and shrimp. So. Good. So good!!! Scallops cooked to perfection! Shrimp was a bit chewy, but seasoned well. I got the seasonal veggie. Which was fresh green beans and bacon. I could've eaten four servings of this stuff! They were delicious. And came by recommendation of our server. The evening was cool enough for dinner outside. Company was fabulous, as always it was a great recommendation. Glad we went here and enjoyed.

We went here after being out of town for the weekend and wanting something fresh to eat. We both got salads, my boyfriend got a Ceasar and I got the Cobb. It was very fresh and tasty. Our server was okay, unfortunately he was serving most of the grill, so he was inundated. Still pretty attentive though. Wasn't blown away by the place, but the food was pretty good and I would go back to try some other food options. It is pricey but I feel like anything besides getting a bag of Cheetos from Walmart is nowadays when you can blow $15 at Wendy's getting a basic combo meal.

Came on a Saturday night around 6:30 and had no wait. The service was fast and friendly and they also give you complimentary bread and butter. I ordered the sirloin with the laguna topping which was goat cheese, butter and cherry tomato. My husband ordered the bacon wrapped pork tenderloin. Only giving 4 stars because I did have to send my steak back as it wasn't cooked the way I ordered it, but they were very fast and it came back out perfect, they also replaced my sides with fresh ones which I greatly appreciated. The food was delicious, my husbands pork was juicy and tender, our sides were delicious! The sangria was very good as well! We spent about $56 with tip which I didn't think was bad at all for the food, the ambience and the drinks. We will definitely be back to try more on the menu!

Very impressed with my first-time visit on Thanksgiving day. Generous portions of all the favs--including thick, juicy turkey. A modern, pretty restaurant with outdoor seating. Server, Gerritt, made our meal extra special--he was very attentive and it was a perfect holiday feast. Definitely will return--can't wait to go back and try their seafood and steaks.

Amazing food! Great service ! 10/10 Recommend! Lot of options to choose from! Josh is a great if you can get him !

We had a reservation for two. Promptly seated. Ordered wine and beer. Placed our order for steaks. . Ten minutes later no drinks. Waiter finally delivers them. Apologies for delay the bar is busy. After 30 minutes he comes to our table and tells us they are out of baked potatoes we ordered. Substitution is mashed potatoes. Delay on getting our check and a long delay to pick check up. I finally had to get the manager to process our bill. Good quality and tasty steaks. Everything else fell short tonight and ruined a good dinner. Sorry it happened.

I like the restaurant. Manager is very nice. Servers are super nice and very good. My only criticism is they run out of food items quite often, and sometimes food is not consistent as far as quality in the way it is prepared. But all in all, it is still enjoyable. Wish they would change up appetizers.

It was Thanksgiving and they were busy. However, we were rushed to order. The turkey was good. The side dishes were OK, but must've been loaded with salt as I was thirsty and drank water all night. Bloody Mary was weak from the plastic glass inwards. No bread nor water were served with meals. The service was OK.

Nice place! Good atmosphere, food and reasonable price. We enjoyed the pasta dish year. Haven't had it a couple of times and both times it has been excellent!

Scrumptious food and fabulous service. We had the clam chowder, wedge salad and firecracker shrimp to start. Those selections were all delish, but that clam chowder was really something to write home about. Dear Ma, I had the best clam chowder today... The mains were yummy too but the pasta served with them was Lukewarm. We had the Cod Piccata (with fettuccine instead of the two sides that it typically comes with), New Orleans Cajun Seafood Pasta, and the Lobster and Shrimp Fettuccine (which was served hot). All were amazing even though not as hot as they could be. The chicken on the chicken pomodoro was perfect.

Great food, great atmosphere, and the service was really good. We got steaks and they were awesome.
