Restaurants in New Smyrna Beach

“excellent food, drinks, and service. Michele was our server and extremely knowledgeable of ALL menu items. If you like bloody Marys, the Holy Mary was delicious, just like an appetizer...lol. I highly recommend the place and Michele!”

“2nd time here 1st for our friends. Living in West Palm I have excellent restaurants everywhere,SoNapa is included in my assessment. Started with a dirty martini with blue cheese stuffed olives, great. No apps but I had the soup du jour which was sausage and pepper! Never had it and I swear it could of been a sub! I shared my wife's salad which contained the right amount of dressing.
Entrees were the twin beef medallions w/ risotto. I opted for the double cut pork chop. Food was served hot, cooked as ordered and enough to take home leftovers. Coffee and dessert were fine. Throw in a bottle of Cabernet and the evening was perfect.
Our friends loved everything about it; food, service and ambience. Definitely a keeper”

“This is the best experience I’ve had in a very long time! The food is not good, not great.. it’s outstanding!! Hands down, best food, best service amazing ambiance! The owners; Michelle and Henry are such a lovely couple! I highly, and I mean highly recommend this amazing restaurant! You won’t be disappointed! Make a reservation today! I want to say more.. it’s amazing the talent that one has for taking all of these ingredients and melding into a mouth watering, palette awakening of all your senses! Truly amazing!! We ordered a bunch of the tapas and had dirty martinis… everything was the best we’ve ever had.. can’t say enough about this wonderful restaurant.. amazing staff as well!!!”

“Oh my gosh! We stopped today for the first time and they did NOT disappoint!! I highly recommend coming here!!!”

“Stumbled upon this lovely cafe with the nicest owners! Seriously, make this a must stop for breakfast. Thanks guys for making our morning with a yummy breakfast and inspiring conversation.”

“Had a wonderful evening with some of the best Mexican food I’ve ever had the steak fajitas with the side dish is just a wonderful meal. What made it super special was our wonderful waiter Luis B. 🎵😎🌮He was so friendly and upbeat and super accommodating. Thanks so much, Luis.”

“Went to uncle chickens for the second time. Chicken was delicious,moist and served hot to order. This will be our go to for chicken. Thanks for the great service.”

“Everything about this place was absolutely amazing.Would definitely recommend this restaurant.”

“Amazing whole made food. Awesome ambience. Friendly staff. So good always a line to order! Gluten-free options. Large portions. Taste of old fashioned Florida at its best!”

“I love this place!
I’ve been going to this iconic vintage Dairy Queen outlet for the last 20 years. It is THE Dairy Queen for the New Smyrna Beach area, and if you’re driving through and need something, sweet or salty, you won’t regret stopping by.
A number of years ago, they purchased the property next-door and created more shaded parking areas, so there’s usually plenty of spaces available. They also added more outdoor seating, all nicely shaded with huge umbrellas.
If you go on a Wednesday, like I did this week, don’t be surprised if there’s a short wait in the line, because on Wednesdays they have their “$1.99 Banana Split Special”, and they are popular! (Insider tip: Ask for the sprinkled nuts as an extra topping.)
They have other specials every day of the week, see the list below.
To top it all off, their servers are smiling, happy, friendly people, who will make you feel like you just stepped back in time to the 1970s, when life was simple and wonderful, and when people interacted with EACH OTHER, instead of with a metal & glass contraption that you had glued to your hand. Aahh yes, this place will take you back. Enjoy your visit!

Monday: Large Sundae $3.59

“The Spott never disappoints with the quality of both the food and the service. On my last visit, the black drum caught locally in Ponce Inlet exceed my previous favorite of lion fish. Their filet is one of the best in town. Whether you are enjoying the “speak easy secrets” atmosphere upstairs for a pre-dinner drink or the vibrant energy of the dining room, it is always on point. The only thing that would improve it would be to expand, add live music and a classy place to dance.”

“A few items on menu clearly labeled as “vegan option available.” They also have GF labels as well. My server was super knowledgeable about exactly how to modify items and also noted the fries use a shared fryer.”

“This place has an awesome vibe and some fantastic food! The people were nice and I would go back any time I am in New Smyrna. Only word of caution is don't go here if you are in a hurry.”

“the atmosphere is relaxing and reminds me of a Key West vibe. the food is excellent. I had the Filet with Shrimp and my friends had the Bianca pizza and Wagyu Short ribs. Definitely would recommend this place ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”

“We decided to try this for breakfast and trust me it did not disappoint. The service was excellent. We even met the owner super down to earth and funny. Food is amazing and big portions. Prices reasonable. Will definitely be coming back. Want to try for dinner. Definitely a must try good home cooking”

“Had a great time at Rogue Wave Wine Bar. The staff was very friendly and welcoming and the food was delicious. Perfect for our girls night out!”

“Haven’t stopped coming here almost every weekend since I found this gem! Best coffee around”

“best wings in town and the girls are nice to”

“I went with a group on Wednesday. I choose the Wrong lunch. it was the millionaires Grill cheese. on thick bread with thin layer of crab & lobster which was fishy. it was Not fresh or sweet. Yup, should have returned it! Everyone else's sandwiches were full & delicious looking. Hope they remove this Mill Grill cheese as it's a joke & where did they come up with that name??”

“Love Yellow Dog. Great food and atmosphere. Miss Lexi!”

“Super cute, unique patio.
Lovely french flare food.
A welcome addition to NSB.

We enjoyed the chicken, goat cheese panini & the special: salmon, artichoke, brie quiche.
Total yum!!”

“Always a favorite when in NSB!!”

“Great food Great service”

“100% recommend Island Roasters ✨ The best espresso around! Their iced lattes are served with coffee ice cubes, so you never have to worry about that watered-down taste—just pure, delicious coffee till the last sip! 🤍”

“Sorry, NSB locals and regulars, I have to let the 'outsiders' know about The Baker's Table. During a day trip to the Canaveral National Seashore, I researched local restaurants and discovered a gastronomical jewel. Jeanette (often seen buzzing in and out of the kitchen) and Jaime have created a fantastic menu that suits the medium sized restaurant and kitchen located on the corner of a midsized mall... From the fresh baguette bread accompanied by Himalayan salted butter, to the colorful crisp garden salad with a gentle vinagrette, to the tender filet prepared to a perfect medium temperature joined by a delicious trinxat and tender mushrooms, and the silky smooth crème brûlée with a perfectly flamed caramelized sugar 'glass' on top; you'll be offering your own Chef's Kiss. Considering the quality of the aforementioned food and excellent service (white linens, real candle light dining, superb wait-staff ), the prices are very reasonable! The menu has a good variety of seafood and non-seafood choices, and I even peeped a vegetarian dish. Do your taste buds a favor and make a trip out to NSB to dine at The Baker's Table - you'll be glad you did.”

“My experience is is I’m trying to look you up on Facebook. You live down the road for me and I don’t see anything. It’s sad you’re losing business on this.”

“Such a great place. Large outdoors and beautiful indoor seating. Nice wine and beer list. Some good looking appetizers. My only regret is that it took me too long to discover it. Yacht Rock night was so fun.”

“love the atmosphere. I like how they change the menu, and the delicious choices they have. Fish, steak, and their burgers are all wonderful. service is attentive. will keep coming back!”

“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!”

“I had an awesome meal and I will return. Thank you.”

“Wife needed a night out she has a bad injury to her leg and in a wheelchair stopped by Caffe the food was excellent made her night , service was great as the food thanks will be back keep on cooking !”

“I had a party catered by La Terraza NSB this past weekend, and I was nothing but blown away! The ordering process was easy, they took care of everything for me (a some extras)! 100% go see them or order from them you won't be disappointed!”

“Jayde was an awesome server! Friendly and helpful. Food was amazing. Drinks were fabulous too! The saxophone added to the ambience. One of NSB best restaurants. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“10/10!!! Everything about this place me and my sister loved. The food was awesome. We had the Grouper nuggets as an appetizer, I had the Key West combo with caribbean street corn, and black beans and rice. My sister had fish and chips with black beans and rice as well. Everything was so delicious! I also had a Tito’s blue raspberry lemonade (i can’t remember the name!) and it was also phenomenal. We had the best server, the best view on the upper deck, and the live music was also a great plus.

The only complaint is they had a young girl by herself running the host stand and sweet willy’s downstairs. We went to get an ice cream and they only had limited selection, she scooped my ice cream and sat it down to go and sit the door. We waited and waited for her to come back to get the other ice cream, as mine melted. After about 10-15 min we decided to leave. Everything else was phenomenal!”

“Excellent!!! highly reccomend”

“This is cutest place! I visited Daytona Beach for my birthday. I met some friends from out of town that rode on the plane with a guy that recommended this location. Robin and Charlotte waited on us when we visited and we had an amazing time talking with them. We ordered the lobster rolls, Caesar salad, cookies and cream gelato, and key lime pie. The food was amazing!! We’re glad that we made the trip. I’ll definitely be visiting again! If you’re ever in the area, I highly recommend visiting this restaurant!!”

The”garlic” and bread…. Omg! Dinner was out of this world!! 32oz rib eye! Wow! Cooked to perfection! The decor is spectacular, plants, garlic hanging from the ceiling too much to mention. All staff very friendly and professional! Thank you to “Lucky” our server! Very knowledgeable and packed our “to go” carefully for our bike ride back to Satellite Beach. Definitely our new found favorite place!! Be back soon!”

“Excellent Acai Bowl (it’s vegan if you don’t get honey) and super yummy!!! Very dense, and a good amount of toppings! Reuse your to-go container and compost the spoon!!

More vegan options please! (Tons of us vegans in the neighborhood) Everyone can eat plant-based and it’s better for your health and better for the planet (animal agriculture is hurting our planet due to rainforest destruction and factory farms) xoxo

I can’t comment on staff or atmosphere or parking - I am currently postpartum and my mother-in-law brought this to me.”

NSB, we need to bless this business.”

“Loved it here for lunch as did our guests. Riverdeck did a great job on the renovations, clean, bright, tables on the deck ,not crowded in and with a beautiful river view all around. Interesting menu choices, lots of fun cocktails too. We had the pleasure of meeting BRAKUS (not sure of sp) on his first day there as a server. He was quite personable, fun, and entertaining! He will definitely be a great asset to the restaurant! The pesto shrimp flatbread and ahi tuna app were very good. My husband had a burger that had ham , cheese, onion rings, bacon stacked on it.. it was over 4 -5 in high.. difficult to eat but good. * I really dislike when ppl give ratings of 1 or 2 ‘based on an issue such as valet, or club colors ’. Not food/service. Doesn’t seem fair. I can see why they use valet, the parking lot has ruts that rainwater accumulates in, ppl would get wet getting in or out of their cars.”
