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.“

“Hubby was craving a good hot dog and we stopped in here. Didn’t realize they were closing in less than 10min of us walking in the door. We offered to leave, but both the owner and waitress encouraged us to stay! They weren’t bothered in the least that we were there. Treated us like family and had great conversation! Now. The food! Holy Toledo!e and my son both got the burgers. Truly fresh, hand patty burger cooked in a char grill. Had so much flavor! SO freaking good! Hubby got the BOGO coney and was also blown away! It killed me to be able to eat all my food…it was so good. Kids have already asked to come back tomorrow! Thank you for treating us like family.“

“I found this restaurant on Google and was absolutely thrilled with my experience! The roast chicken was divine – incredibly moist, tender, and flavorful. The portion sizes were so generous that I had enough for a second meal the next day, which was just as delicious. The service was spot-on: quick, efficient, and attentive without being intrusive. This is a hidden gem I’ll definitely be returning to. Highly recommend!“

“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!!“

“Everytime I come here I feel like I have Mark as our server! He’s wonderful! So polite and social and on top of it! I was feeling bad about breaking my foot and he stopped to have a conversation with me that made me feel so much better…. I’ve been coming here for forever and I have zero bad things to say! Great food, great staff, great customer service! Thank you for everything you do guys!“

“This place is my favorite hidden gem. The food is amazing and prepared with high quality, fresh ingredients. The chef is very creative with flavor combinations and I'm never afraid to try something new here. The portions are generous. The staff is friendly and attentive. The times from seating to drinks to order taking to food delivery is on point. Never an extended wait. Great for lunch. Cozy atmosphere and scenic views over the water. We've been there four times and have never been disappointed. 10/10“

“This is second visit to Ford's Garage in Daytona Beach, Florida. Both times while on vacation here with friends. The food is far more than EXCELLENT and the Service was SUPERB! When visiting this Ford's Garage in Daytona Beach, Florida, please request Angel Davila. He is a jewel of a waiter, and will make your visit fun and enjoyable 😉“

“Great breakfast rite buy the beach“

“Service was excellent once again! Had Lori and she is so attentive! Food was good, but the service is AMAZING! Never had an empty glass. Definitely will return“

“Great place all the way around! Awesome food! Great staff! Don't skip out on outside area just because it's a little chilly out. The wind blocking curtain and heaters make it such a cozy spot!“

“Wish I could give 10 Stars! Very impressed with Farm to Fit! Great food, amazing staff and a very relaxed environment. Barbara (the owner) made you feel like family. We stopped by Last night with our family of 6 (4 kids, 7yrs and under) after spending time at the beach. We needed to find a place that didn’t use seed oils on the premise and made real food straight from a local source. this place did not disappoint and they even had the list of local farms they get all of their meet and produce from! . Barbara and the team were amazing with our children and didn’t make our family feel like we were an interruption to the night. We will for sure be back as we go to Ormond beach often. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! :)“

“Food was great. Wide variety on the menu appetizers to dessert. Big drink selection. Very cool decor. Service was great very attentive staff and on Friday and Saturday night they have live music. The band we heard tonight was fantastic. This will definitely become a regular place to go“

“out for a drive with my husband and we stopped here. What a great lunch we had. We will definitely be back.“

“Our favorite place in NSB. The Irish Eggs Benedict is a must try! And the Staff is outstanding, always! 💯“

“Really cool place to hang, been going to the Garage in spring and fall for a couple of years now during Bikeweeks. Great food in a relaxed atmosphere. Great music, food and beer!“

“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!“

“Well I must say I had a wonderful experience last Last Week when I visit Midtown Cafe The Plant base Burger was so Delicious I never had a plant base Burger that tasted so good, the Atmosphere was pleasant and Clean staff was very friendly I would recommend this place for the best plant base burger, trust me you won’t regret.“

“I've searched for the authentic German schnitzel mit spatzle...this place is the best.“

“First time ever visiting Cheddar's and definitely look forward to another visit. Ordered the chicken tenders with a loaded baked potato and corn. My son had the chicken pot pie. Everything was hot, fresh and delicious. Ordered a house and caesar salad on the sides, they were quite large (although I don't think the croutons were 'scratch' made) very cold and fresh. A lot of food for a incredibly reasonable price this day and age, benefits of being owned by Darden and having the buying power to offer these prices I would imagine. I'm not normally one to get too excited about chain restaurants, but Darden does really good with Long Horn and seemingly so with Cheddar's too.“

“I'm never disappointed with the delicious food I am served or the gracious and friendly service.“

“Called last minute and they were able to fit me with another group with no problem. Course was nicer than expected. Challenging off the tee due to hazards but not too bad. Fairways and greens were in great shape. I’d definitely play here anytime. Very friendly staff as well.“

“Excellent location and really tasty food. The service was good but slow. The thing I didnt understand was it was a Friday night, 6:30ish, and the outdoor patio was dead and quiet. Yes no music at all was being played. Its such a beautiful view and has a playground for parents to watch their kids while they relax. I know managers that would love to the outdoor capabilities this place has. Hire a guitarist, made a social media post about it, tell people to come down and celebrate on the patio. I mean come on guys, that patio is like having a Ferrari in the garage but you just drive your Cavalier. Use your assets!“

“Good food“

“Surprisingly the lobster roll at Caffe Paradiso was incredible! I didn’t expect it to be this good, but I could easily compare it to the one I had at Neptuno in Boston. The flavors were spot-on, and everything tasted so fresh. Highly recommend trying it if you love lobster rolls. And don’t skip the tiramisu—it was out of this world!

The customer service from Sadan was very good. He was very attentive.

This place really exceeded my expectations.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Wow what awesome service and delicious meals.. our server, Payton, knew the menu, drinks desserts, spoke so well and presented the meals in a truly professional manner...what an exceptional employee...thank you“

“😍They are the best, great selections on food and gifts at their country store“

“Enjoyable no complaints. Tons of TV's can watch multiple sports from anywhere in the restaurant. Pricing is fair and my ribs/wings were very good. Wait staff remembered all requests. The wings came with blue cheese & ranch. Nice since I like both.
Second visit for us will go back next vacation.“

“I tried Dustins the other day. The menu had many choices. The salad bar was great and the food was great. I got a young server named Samantha. She helped me with ordering. I was very pleased as to what we decided on. She was polite and very knowledgeable. I would recommend this place hands down and our server also. Thank you Samantha I’ll be back.“

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

“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.“

“Very nice facilities super helpful pleasant employees and a delicious Indiana Pork (Bigfoot) tenderloin. Brussel sprouts and coleslaw were on point too.“

“We live just down the street from Flagsticks Bar and Grill and the new owner John Springer is a friend. We are very happy with the changes he implemented since taking over. The kitchen is open longer hours than it used to be, the menu has been improved and we find the staff to be very friendly and professional. The looks of the entire place, including the banquet room and the patio, is much better than it used to be. My pet peeve used to be the unpredictable hours of operation. This is no longer the case. We would highly recommend it to anyone.“

“This place was spectacular!! We loved it! Even extended our stay one more day!“

“It had been a while since our last visit. The restaurant is unchanged. The menu is much the same. My wife enjoyed her smoked chicken dinner and I had the brisket dinner, which was good except too much fat on the brisket slices.
The Cole slaw is excellent.“

“We booked this restaurant last year right after the race. So I thought since my last experience was incredible we should book another reservation. This time we chose to eat outside to be alone since the where people inside that were pretty loud. We had a wonderful waitress. She was literally the nicest lady. She had to deal with my food allergies and was still very calm and had suggestions. The bartender even made me 2 virgin drinks because I was allergic to the first one. Then another couple came on the patio to eat too. The patio to ourselves only lasted for a while. Most guests leave after the race so the area in general is pretty quiet. Our food was delicious. We took pictures of the cars inside. They even had a car instruction manual as the menu. And the bread is soooo good we ordered another round. I love this place. Thanks to our waitress who gave us such a wonderful experience. We will definitely be back!“

“Amazing food and amazing service, they make you feel like family!“
