Restaurants near Lake Helen

“I found this place by searching for a pizza place close to my grandparents house. The ones around the area are overrated and just not good in my opinion. I called, made my order and drove there. The pizza came straight out of the oven fresh and hot! I ordered a pepperoni and extra cheese pizza and they were not stingy with the cheese at all! The guy working the register was the only person in there I think, it was so empty! What a hidden gem for real! I'll definitely use this place from now on and explore their menu more.”

“I have been to Cassadaga a few times but coming to Sinatra's was a first. The food was absolutely amazing, so much so that I would gladly travel the two hours from my home again to sample something else. The decor had me drooling, with all the old furniture and paintings, I was in heaven! My only complaint was the service was sub par, she didn't come to check on us once but was very attentive to her other tables so other than that, I will definitely be a repeat customer!Parking: The parking lot is small and it's always busy there so it can be somewhat difficult to park directly in front of the restaurant.”

“So .. the wait was longer that anticipated but over 30mins but thankfully we didn't have the kids with us. Food is always great & the staff always wonderful. Tried the Basa fish dish with dalmodes and Fera fries! Good stuff. Oh... and you never know what ya see strolling downtown Deland!”

“The 4.9 review is well deserved by Moya Sushi. We popped in for an early dinner after a nice bike ride and trip to Blue Springs State Park. We started off with 2 rolls - Sweet Potato and Spicy Tuna. Both were excellent. We then ordered the General Tso Tofu and Shrimp Noodles (pictures). Again, both were excellent. We completely polished off our plates. The service was prompt and friendly. Definitely recommend and would visit again when we're in the area!”

“Hidden Ice Cream paradise. Excellent service with a smile. That's how business is done. Go by an give them a try, you won't regret it. The Nutella is yummy ?”

“We have been delighted that a decent Asian fusion restaurant has come to Orange City. The food is always great! The staff is nice and the the restaurant appears clean.”

“My friend and I stopped by here on a whim and we're both so glad we did. We both ordered a Latin bowl and it was amazing! The bathrooms were impeccably clean and they have a nice atmosphere. Definitely will be returning.”

“Holy cats we love cafe da vinci!!! We drive all the way out from Ocala to hit this place up. They get some really great music acts up in here and absolutely recommend! This is an inside/outside venue with an outside stage, a little area with pool table plenty of dance room, a big outside bar with awesome very professional bartenders, another smaller outside bar, an inside bar and more pool tables inside. Great atmosphere, kind of a road house. When i try to describe it to people we know, i imagine its like a south american roadhouse for like american expats, like in bolivia or something. Theres some kind of food thing on the outside of the venue and a patio area with tables and chairs. Ive looked at the food and it sounds delicious and priced right but unfortunately i havent sampled any. Lots of nearby free well lit parking.Management, if you read this, get some margarita machines up in there.”

“We stopped at this restaurant because it was authentic and highly rated. We were not disappointed. The food was great and the service we received was outstanding! If we are ever in the area again, we will definitely be going there again.”

“I fell in love with frozen custard almost 10 years ago and I get SO excited when I find a custard (instead of an ice cream) shop! I’ve gone to whits more times than I’d like to admit over the last year since I moved back to the area and I always leave happy. I got my birthday cake here this year and it was a massive hit! (vanilla custard, raspberry sauce, chocolate shavings/drizzle, husband added the gummy worms as a surprise ?) 10/10 recommend whits!Parking: There is a large free parking lot directly behind whits”

“I found out that the Orange Social Club restaurant was moving in when I visited the old Woody's that previously occupied the space in the strip mall directly behind Applebee's off Enterprise Blvd in Orange City, Florida. It is a scratch kitchen, which means they prepare each dish once it is ordered and don't mass produce and store meals. This effort takes a bit longer than some other restaurants that have precooked portions and rush it out. The short delays are worth the wait in my opinion. They offer breakfast, lunch, dinner and a Sunday brunch. The owners (Natish and Jay) both have previous restaurant/bar experience with high-end establishments and their knowledge and skills are evident in the menu selections and preparation. Both gentlemen are from India and have added a couple Indian dishes to the menu. Having been to that country twice, I am a huge fan of the cuisine. Luckily, they offer one of my favorites ...an excellently prepared butter chicken. Other than that, their burgers are one of the best that I have found in the Deland vicinity. I love this place and the service I receive. I typically eat there at least once or twice a week. Unfortunately, they have experienced a few hiccups since opening because of problems getting city approval of their signage. I heard this week that they have finally gotten that so signage will be up soon. I highly recommend a visit to experience the menu and service yourself.”

“Our friends Kevin and Yamara said they love this Italian Bistro. We went for lunch and the Pasta Fagioli soup was very thick and tasty. My wife ordered a bowl to go she liked it so much. We ordered a meatball sandwich and an Italian sandwich. We shared half each. We couldn't decide which we liked best. Both were flavorful and had a nice crunchy warm crust and soft interior bread. They have a wood fired brick oven for making good Italian pizza. The people next to us had the pizza and it was over stuffed with stringy cheese and other toppings.We'll come back with friends for dinner.The owner's son waited on us. We was very kind and promptly brought us whatever we needed. We felt like we had made new friends when we left. Check it out- the current owner bought the place 1 year ago and they turned it into a GO-TO place for me.Terry R.”

“The food is nothing short of great. The service is not individually personable but nothing negative. The likely language barrier found with the authenticity tends to come off as unfriendly at times. A mom-and-pops/Food Truck vibe is here...and I'm here for it. My favorite is the Al Pastor tacos!”

“It always feels like home when I come here with my husband. The staff is so sweet and the owner let us taste test an item we’d never think to order on our own. The food is always flavorful and delicious.”

“BEST ice cream in DeLand (and surrounding areas)! Home made ice cream and gelato with lots of delicious flavours, and the home made caramel sauce on top is the best I've ever had! They have several gluten free and vegan flavours too. Highly recommend this place, will definitely be back! ?”

“Bake chop is an amazing little restaurant with unique eats and everything was delicious! I highly recommend the brie burger. They also had a pretty tasty wine and beer selection. Hunter was a fantastic server!”

“Outstanding! It’s REAL coffee not that weak, bitter, fake Starbuck mess. We happened upon Trilogy strolling through DeLand with our snooty big city expectations turned way down. What a fantastic surprise finding this place! No more suffering the giveaway hotel room coffee either; just wake up and head to Trilogy. Even told my family living here to check it out.”

“We love to stop by here after seeing the manatees. The ice cream is great and the employees are kind and helpful. The portions are generous. I had a praline ice cream that was phenomenal.”

“What a gem of a place to have in our town of Deland! The garlic escargot is the best we've ever had. The garlic sauce is over the top, want to lick the plate clean amazing. Leg of Lamb is my favorite, tender, seasoned to perfection, and just melts in your mouth. My husband's favorite is the prime ribeye. Just sheer perfection. Have never had anything on the menu that wasn't tasty. Get the wine, eat the dessert, enjoy. You won't regret stopping here.”

“The food was delicious. Our waitress was nice. The seating was a little awkward for me. Other wise it was a cute place and a place to go again.Bolognese with meatballs and Tuscan chicken pizza”

“I rent an office upstairs from Wrap It Up. I could smell the roast beef cooking all morning. I went in lunchtime and ordered a Philly Cheesestak. OMG! It was WONDERFUL!”

“I had the fire ramen and my boyfriend and I shared an indie roll and some spring rolls. He also had some albacore nigiri. Everything was delicious, and the service was great!”

“Amazing! You wouldn't know by looking at the outside. The pizza was incredible. We had the shrimp scampi and it was perfect. The restaurant is clean and very chic. Recommended!”

“Absolutely amazing experience from the chips & salsa to the Burrito Mexicano and everything in between!! And the prices are extremely reasonable!! Not many places I can go and eat for under $20 and be completely full when I walk out!!! 5 stars across the board!!!”

“Good food good prices and the service is exelent the ? are awesome I like chiken lettuce tomatoes cheese cilantro and ?Parking: Right on the front of the restaurant”

“The staff who took my call were very friendly knowing that we came from another state, very good food, delicious quesabirrias.Vegetarian options: I ordered a veggie cake and it was very good.”

“Went for lunch, service was quick and attentive, but mostly food was AMAZING. We ordered the BBQ shrimp from the apps, it had a subtle kick but even my kids were eating it. Also ordered was the boil with the bayou seasoning.”

“I really enjoyed this spot.The server was extremely friendly, and super personable. I’ve never been in one of their restaurants before, or even heard of them, so naturally like anyone else was nervous to try.Server explained what was on the menu, and what to order if I liked certain dishes elsewhere.I ordered the Fat Boy sandwich.Man, let me tell you something about this Sandwich that is fat, (Austin powers voice).Juicy brisket, onion rings, and cheddar cheese sauce, on a toasted buttered Texas toast style bread. Man, the brisket alone was wow, the flavors all together were like nothing I’ve had.Also tried their wings, with their “Sweet & Sassy sauce, sauce was perfect.I wasn’t a fan of their Mac & cheese, but not for any other reason of personal preference, it was still good.I’d find it hard to believe someone has a bad experience here other than mistakes ??.If I passed through this area again, would definitely get it again.Parking: Parking around entire establishment, wheelchair accessible.”

“Really really good. Tossed salad and added blackened chicken and he had the half wall burger. Nothing disappointing. Waiter Mike included. Good guy, on point. Atmosphere good. When in the area, a must stop.”

“Stopped in at cheesecake chinos after trying a small sample from a friend. WOW! Just WOW! He was very friendly and helpful answering every question and you can tell he puts his heart into making these cheesecakes. I tried a slice of cinnamon cannoli. It was amazing. Some of the best cheesecake I’ve ever eaten. Wife got the banana slice. She’s loved every bite. I saw some people say it’s pricey but with a taste like that I’d pay double, And we are supporting small business. If you want quality come to chinos. We will definitely be getting and entire cake soon. 100/10 recommend.”
