The service was great. The water was attentive, friendly, and on point. Kept checking on us and making sure our drinks were filled and making sure we were enjoying ourselves and the food. The gentleman who was making the omelets did great and was friendly... The food on the other hand, I wouldnt even give it one star. The food wasn't cold but wasn't warm. More like room temperature, so it was almost not even kept warm. The eggs tasted like powdered eggs. My son loves eggs and he wouldnt even eat them. He also loves cheese in his eggs, we tried adding it but the eggs weren't even warm enough to mix in the cheese.. he said no and pushed his plate away (and he never does that) the biscuits and gravy weren't good. The biscuits were hard. French toast was not good. There isn't many options to choose from for food. They do have cereal (butbehy pay $30 if you're getting 1 bowl of cereal. They dont have many fruit options. It is not worth the $30, I was really looking forward to the breakfast and was only let down.

We came on a Friday evening for the seafood buffet that is only offered two days a week. It seemed to have decent reviews, so we gave it a shot. We arrived and at peak dinner time on a Friday in a vacation spot (8pm ish), there were only 3 or 4 total tables with guests. This should have been warning number one. We pressed on.
Husband and I decided to do the buffet sight unseen, as it had pretty decent reviews. There were only a few dishes available when we approached the buffet. There was a salad bar with all the normal stuff, some seafood salad, and I believe one or two other sort of very typical things. I tried the seafood salad. It was cold, but there was so much horseradish it was nearly inedible. Despite all the “dressing” on it, it was still dry; almost as though it had been sitting out for a while and was unstirred. Moving to the hot dishes, the Mac and cheese was really the only decent thing, if I’m being very blunt. The mashed potatoes were dry and lukewarm, the lemon roasted chicken was cold, the seafood boil with shrimp was cold, the prime rib being freshly sliced was freezing cold (no heat lamp on it), braised ribs that were room temperature at best, and there was only one other seafood dish - a cold tilapia.
I have never (until this day) not paid for something at a restaurant when I ordered something and didn’t like it or it wasn’t properly cooked. Under any other circumstance, I’d have had the server ask the kitchen to make it again or something, or simply pay for my meal and never return. However, this was so awful it was inedible. The temperatures for the food weren’t right, the food itself was not great, and the food as a whole left us feeling queasy after only a bite or less of a few dishes. Needless to say, we left, and the server was kind enough to not charge us for the 4 or 5 bites we ate. My husband and I were both very ill later that night, and we assume it was the poorly kept food, but there’s no way to know.
I would say buyer beware. Ask to check the food first before agreeing to the buffet, and open the chafing dishes to see if there is any real heat to the food.

The food is ok, not worth $39.99. It was cold and a lot of it was old. The prime rib was overcooked but not bad. Service was superb! Would we go again, no.

We went for the all you can eat crab legs advertised and they didn't even have crab legs. The food was edible but nothing to be desired. Not worth the price. The environment was loud due to the surrounding traffic.

Food Terrible and cold/old! Please don't don't waste $40/person for the most Terrible food ever!!!! Service was decent so didn't complain about food, but I'm telling you i wish I had read all the reviews prior to coming! The place was a ghost town, no one wanted to eat there!

Service was great. Our waiter was attentive and friendly. However, the food was just mediocre. For the price point, the variety of food was severely lacking. We have eaten there in years prior and it was delicious with many seafood options. We were highly dissatisfied and disappointed this last visit. We will not waste time or money here again.

We dined at Doc Bales during a concert weekend stay. The food was not good and the service was even worse.

Such a beautiful place to have dinner. The food was well seasoned, a lot of different items to choose from. Great (Thank you Gretchen)Service, very friendly staff. Thank you
Best.Omelette.Ever! The breakfast buffet is very good with a lot of great options, but the omelette station and the gentlemen making omelettes on 7/31/24 was hands-down the best we have ever had. This restaurant is located inside the Daytona Beach Hilton on N. Atlantic Ave.
Parking: The Hilton has their own parking area however you do have to pay for parking. The other option is valet.

My husband and I took a 3 day weekend saw this seafood buffet and thought why not.......Well we shouldn't have. They advertised crab legs and peel n eat shrimp and soooo much more. There was no crab or shrimp. There was a very bland so called low country boil that was tasteless. The chicken wasn't done service was poor. The person who seated us was very rude ! The waitress was just moving through the motions. Don't waste your time or money. The only nice employee was the gentleman who was carving the prime rib.

We decided to go here cause it was rated well and complimented for its breakfast buffet. We felt it was very lack-luster. The food was meh. Most of it was bland. Luke warm at best. The fruit looked like it had been in the fridge for a while. The eggs were runny and cold. The biscuits and gravy were probably the best tasting thing. The bacon was rubbery, the sausage seemed undercooked, so I spit it out. There was an omlette station, but the guy working it didn't seem like he was in a good mood, and there was a long line of people waiting for it. It's definitely not worth $25 a person, but it's inside the Hilton, so I guess that's what you're paying for? Our server was nice and attentive, though. I personally won't go back.

My mistake for not posting this sooner. I was here the 1st of August weekend and we dined here for breakfast. I have to start off by saying what a wonderful greeting by Danielle. She is always smiling, so friendly and energetic. We loved having her as our person for 2 mornings. She remembered us and greeted us by name. Wow a wonderful asset to have in your establishment. OK now the food. The buffet was clean, fresh and had a wide variety. I loved the personalized omelet station. The salmon was exceptionally delicious. I don't know what they did but it's by far my favorite ever. I did notice they do dinner buffets as well and I'm going back to try it out. I'm not one for buffets but this one is definitely one to indulge in. You won't be sorry. Again, Danielle I'm sorry for this late review. You rock girl and maybe we will see you again on our next staycation!
