50 Best American Restaurants near Daytona Beach Shores

“Great fresh food! Great atmosphere and staff as well.“

“Be careful if you order the Shepherd's Pie Burger, delicious, but messy.“

“We had breakfast here. It was very tasty. Very limited menu but Great service from Tamri I think was his name. Amazing views! Also, their outside area is partially covered so you can sit out if it's raining with nice ceiling fans so it wasn't too hot.
We parked in the beach drive on area beside the hotel, if you park at the resort I think they charge you and have valet.“

“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 ❤️“

“Wow, what a find! We came for dinner and had a wonderful experience. I do love steak/beef/meats and this is easily some of the best tasting beef I've enjoyed (filet medallions on risotto). Filet should always be tender, but is often reliant on sauces & spices for flavor, this needed nothing - it was fabulous. Our other dishes, including the ravioli were also excellent, but special mention goes to the "Donut Bread Pudding". It's an obscene mash up of donuts, candied pecans, maple bourbon gelato and whipped cream and it is unbelievably delicious; textures, flavors, all of it. We will definitely be back. As folks who actually live near Napa, we frequent all of the restaurants in that area (Napa, Sonoma, Calista, etc.) You guys nailed it. Excellent cuisine and even reasonable prices. We will absolutely be back & thanks for the lovely dinner.“

“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“

“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“

“Food in general is great and portions are way generous. Such a cute atmosphere. More romantic than for little kids although I’m sure their kids menu is good. Decor and atmosphere is nice, but not super high end so shorts amd tee shirts are fine. Menu varied but overall great place to sit and chill and then get lots of food for your $$“

“Love Wake Up Cafe North. Wonderful and friendly staff. AMAZING empanadas! Their guava and cheese and #10 are my favorites! They have a lengthy menu with so many options.“

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

“An awesome experience …the cuban was extremely good…very clean and friendly owners who were very accommodating even though we ate our dinner a little after they closed…what a pleasure we will be back!“

“Good burgers and beer. Small stage allows for live music during your meal.“

“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.“

“First time to this restaurant. Food was ok. Everything had rosemary in/on it. Even my martini has a sprig for garnish. It was overpowering and I sent my drink back. I watched as food was brought out for other tables, all had rosemary for garnish.“

“The chicken fried steak at Cheddar's is amazing! It's perfectly crispy on the outside, tender and juicy on the inside, and the portion size is generous. The gravy adds just the right amount of flavor, and paired with their sides, it’s comfort food at its finest. Definitely one of the best chicken fried steaks I’ve had in a long time. Highly recommend trying it if you're a fan of classic Southern comfort dishes!“

“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.“

“The room decore is outstanding! A great experience in Daytona beach. The restaurant food & service was outstanding. Our room was extreamly clean and the front desk staff friendly and informative, much more than expected! I would highly recommend the hotel to everyone visiting Daytona. The hotel is located across from the Daytona speedway.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Good food“

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

“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.“

“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“

“Food and service 2nd to none!!“

“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!“

“The ribs had a lot of gristly bits ?. The chicken wings had a decent flavor. We tried the teriyaki garlic flavor. We also tried the Hawaiian chicken sandwich, which was pretty good. I would order it again. I would not order the wings or ribs again. My son had the kids' sliders and fries, and he said they were good. We also got potato skins for appetizers, and they were cooked perfectly ?.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“The previous reviews said that they were the best in town. we concur, we loved the food and down home customer service. this will be a definite stop each time we come through town. Best wishes in your move to your new location.“

“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!“

“absolutely! Peter waited on us and was very informative and knowledgeable, his recommendations were awesome!!! Definitely worth eating at!!!“
