50 Best American Restaurants near Daytona Beach Shores

“Had the pleasure of eating dinner here last night , staff super friendly, food was awesome!!!“

“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“

“Great food. Ambiance was casual despite the hotel being quite luxurious. You have to pay for parking either valet ($20) or self park ($16-19).
Service was very attentive. Jordan was great.
The best part was the food itself.“

“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!!“

“We stop here at least twice every February during our annual vacation. The food is always soooo good and the service is even better. Family owned and operated business and they take pride in every aspect. Wish we had one close to home, so I could support them on a regular basis.“

“I just had the best Philly cheesecake I have ever had! Everyone that works. Here is absolutely wonderful. Very friendly environment. Desserts are fabulous. I will definitely be back.m“

“Daytona Dog Beach Inc hosted our April Paw Ambassador Celebration at Ormond Garage. The outside patio served as the perfect setting where our volunteers could choose to bring their pups along too. Frank, GM, and Joy, our waitress welcomed us warmly, anticipated our needs and delivered excellent food, drinks, and service. They had signs welcoming us, introduced our guests to their dog-friendly menu and dog loyalty cards. The pups who ordered from the menu gave it a "paw-five". Thank you to Frank, Joy, and the entire team for a "paw-fect" evening. 🐾💜🐾“

“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!“

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

“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“

“The food was great but the service was terrible, either train your servers or get new ones who know what they are doing. Charging 20% Surcharge was uncalled for for a party of 6, the server deserved $0.00 for tip! The wine glasses were cheap and a disgrace for the good wine. If you want to be upscale you have to do better.“

“LOVE! amazing food!! New specials all the time“

“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.“

“Brooke was fantastic, fun environment. hugh portions. great night“

“We tried this local restaurant today for the first time. The food was terrific, cooked perfectly. The “fish camp fixings” was a nice addition. Our server was friendly and efficient. We dined outside to enjoy the beautiful day. The children’s playground out there seemed out of place. It took away from the esthetics of the place and the whole dining experience.“

“We’re visiting from CA and my local friend suggested we come to the bar here for a nice cold beer. As we’re here enjoying our drinks, I learn this place is also a shooting range that rents.

What I didn’t know was that I need to do that BEFORE having a drink, which makes perfect sense. I’m coming back!!!“

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

“Friendly atmosphere drop your cares at the door! A place that makes you smile“

“We stopped by for lunch and were rested right away. The host and waitress were very friendly. They start you off with sweet butter croissants which were awesome. Then you have a pretty good selection of southern comfort food for all under or around $20 each.“

“My husband and I's first visit tonight & it was fantastic! I ordered the Paradise Salmon with Apple-Mango Salsa, yellow rice & black beans, and steamed broccoli. My husband ordered the September Feature Swordfish along with fries and grilled asparagus. Everything was so delicious. The Swordfish was thick with good seasoning & flavor. My salmon was honestly the best I ever had. Our meals came with a side of rolls that were fresh and warm. Service was top-notch and meals came out freshly made. Would highly recommend & we will be back on our future trips to Daytona. Thank you❤“

“Service is good food is good and staff is helpful“

“We had such a great experience at Hooligan! Our server, Sam, was incredibly accommodating and had such a great energy and spirit. She took the time to genuinely converse with us, made us feel very welcomed, and was so warm and attentive throughout our visit.

The chicken wings came out fresh and were absolutely amazing! Everything felt clean, well-kept, and inviting.

The manager, Wade, also stopped by our table, and he was just as pleasant. He had a great attitude and really made us feel appreciated for choosing to dine there.

Overall, we had a wonderful experience, and the great customer service from Sam and Wade really stood out. We’ll definitely be back!“

“My family hosted an 80th birthday party at Flagsticks and it was amazing! John and his staff were extremely attentive to our needs and requests during the planning, the implementation and execution of the party. The food display was magnificent. The service was superb and the attention to detail was on point. This location is the perfect spots for locals to host events!“

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

“We had Cortney as our server today. She was really awesome, great energy, and attention. We ordered boneless wings, highly recommend them. Ask for Cortney, she’s the best!“

“What a hidden gem! I've lived in Ormond Beach for 10 years and just discovered this delightful restaurant.
I can honestly say it's some of the best food I've had in the area.
The backdrop of the airport is a plus.“

“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.“

“Always enjoy my meals whenever I go…..“

“very good healthy food nice clean environment“

“The food is absolutely the best in new Smyrna! the black and mahi is to die for service is great. I must try.!“

“Joe Oliva, the proprietor of the widely acclaimed restaurant known as Alexander Prime in Ormond Beach, has brought his 35 years of experience to his latest venture. His very attentive wait staff, made our dining experience a delight. The relaxed and welcoming atmosphere is enhanced by the individual and very intimate dining areas that make this nightspot one that we would recommend without hesitation. We began with the very fresh, lightly breaded, crisp and scrumptious calamari appetizer. The specialty main course, Rack of Lamb, was delicately prepared over a bed of sauteed spinach and a freshly prepared eggplant. For all the reasons stated above, Alexander's Prime remains one of the most desirable and acclaimed venues in Ormond Beach. If you are anticipating a freshly prepared meal, that's what you will receive when you enter the house of Alexander's. Relax and enjoy!“

“Rih, is the best server i’ve ever had. She catered to not only us but our child as well. Even cleaned his bottle he dropped. You don’t get above and beyond service like that anymore. She made the experience so personal and so great. We’ve been coming here for years and she is by far the best addition we have ever experienced here. AMAZING server. Fast, smart, and sweet!“

“Good food“

“Yesssss tore those wings up they were delicious“
