50 Best American Restaurants near Daytona Beach Shores

“Food was really good, my wife dinner was a small portion for the price. But she said the food was very good. I had the fish dinner and it was good.“

“The food is well prepared and tastes great. The staff is always friendly, and we have had nothing but an enjoyable time whenever we visit them. The fried clams are wonderful if you like them and feel like treating yourself. One of our favorite local places to eat.“

“Picked this place on a whim for New Years Eve and SO glad we did. One of the best get togethers ever. Server Amy was great and funny. Bartender and his drinks were terrific. Food, fantastic! AND everyone else was fun. Even the valets were super. Everyone acted like they owned the place and loved their jobs. No one acted like they just worked there. We will go back every time we come to The Daytona area.“

“Garrett was fabulous. Kept our table clean, excellent service. To the owners... Where's the hush puppies?!?! Seriously no hush puppies at crabby Joe's“

“foods always good. Judy was the best server ❤️“

“Where to begin?! We went for supper last night with a friend visiting from out of town. It was a first time for all of us and we were absolutely BLOWN AWAY! From the tastiness of a simple appetizer [herbed bread with butter, pesto, and olive oil for dipping], to the incredible entrées [filet medallions with Parmesan risotto, chicken carbonara], and ending with one of the most decadent desserts [brownie a la mode] we had ever had, all of us left talking about it and planning our next visit. It was so, so delicious. We were able to speak with the manager Nick, and he was beyond pleasant and friendly. My husband and I have both worked in restaurants before and to see a manager take such time and care in ensuring guests are happy and enjoying themselves is next level service. Our waitress Katelyn was wonderful as well, and funny by joining in and cracking some jokes back at my husband. We cannot say enough positive things about SoNapa, specifically this Ormond location. We will most certainly be back and highly recommend going to see for yourself! No photos because we were living in the moment and savoring every single bite!!“

“Return visit. As usual customer service at the purchasing counter was excellent. A particular staff member went over and beyond to assist me with my issues and concerns. She always does. I am so sorry I can't remember her name. I know she is the go to person for staff. I met Brian and he is awesome. Excellent customer service, friendly and professional.“

“This is a great place to put on your $100 Hamburger Run “to go” list. I got caught at Spruce Creek due to a weather delay and decided to try it out.

I had French Onion Soup (as the side dish) to my French Dip sandwich. Service was excellent to say the least and the food was delicious.

Give it a try and there is no need to worry about the private status of the Airpark as Chadd (owner of Yelvington Aviation Services next door) says everyone and anyone can be his guest. He also offers 100LL at his self-fueler that is even cheaper than Dunnellon or Umatilla! GO-go-go!“

The food was great (the wings especially hit the spot!), but Stephanie is a big part of why we keep coming back. She’s a real asset to the team, and we’ll definitely be back again soon!“

“excellent customer service Food was amazing thank you Shaun and all that were there this afternoon Fantastic lunch“

“I am so happy that this restaurant has vegan options! Plus they fixed my dish without oil. I should've asked for no salt, too, because I found my dish too heavily seasoned with something that they said wasn't salt but it sure tasted that way. Enjoyed that yummy green juice and ate the tofu and gluten-free avocado toast and sent back the potatoes for a fresh order, no seasoning. Perfect! They were happy to accommodate. Will definitely go back!“

“Best breakfast in town, been going since the 90’s.“

“Kudos to the drive-thru team on 10/7! I made an unusual request, and four employees came to the window to help understand and fulfill it — all with big smiles. What an amazing team! This was some of the best customer service I’ve seen in a long time.“

“If you get the chance to try their food, TAKE IT! From the chicken Alfredo to their rice bowls, everything tastes fresh and hot, and seasoned to perfection. Their rice bowls are something special. If you have one, you’re gonna want another.“

“Such a laid-back and Chill Spot to take a lunch. Not to mention the wonderful customer service and staff. If you notice, the more years go by the more we lack in customer service. Will this place just restored my faith in the field of customer satisfaction. Food is top quality with premium ingredients and very well reasonably priced. I will be back at least once or twice a week. Thankfully I only work walking distance.“

Great food, drinks and atmosphere!“

“This is cutest place! I visited Daytona Beach for my birthday. I met some friends from out of town that rode on the plane with a guy that recommended this location. Robin and Charlotte waited on us when we visited and we had an amazing time talking with them. We ordered the lobster rolls, Caesar salad, cookies and cream gelato, and key lime pie. The food was amazing!! We’re glad that we made the trip. I’ll definitely be visiting again! If you’re ever in the area, I highly recommend visiting this restaurant!!“
