Restaurants in New Smyrna Beach

“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”

“An absolute fantastic experience at Spanish River Grill! Even though they were under staffed for the day, everything was just as seamless as every other time we have been. The small things, like drinking from the owner’s grandma’s martini glasses, to the delicious deserts and home grown organic tomatoes and fresh ingredients, it is always consistent, delicious, and a place we will return to. Must get the whipped feta and the mushrooms. Thank you for making my birthday dinner an awesome one!”

“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.”

“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.”

“It was our first time at Norwood’s and it was wonderful! Michele was fantastic! She gave us great redomendations for what to try and the food was phenomenal. Everything we tried was unique and tasted great!”

“Unfortunately, it is very loud inside. Ŵe were a large group so we were unable to converse with anyone other than the person sitting next to each other. Otherwise the food and service were excellent

Wheelchair accessibility: Totally wheelchair accessible”

“The burgers, the waffle fries, are fantastic. Everyone I talked with while I was there said that the desserts are fantastic. Joe flipped burgers as fast as possible. Ellis was busy talking orders and passing out food. It’s an open air restaurant but most orders are made to go. I sat and listened to customers talk about how much they loved the food here. Reward your tummy and yourself and stop by. You’ll be glad you did.”

“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!

“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.”

“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.”

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

“Wow. Every year, every visit is above and beyond. Today we chose a ceasar salad which was fresh and delicious, we enjoyed our complimentary hot bread with our salads. Next up the pasta flight. This dish was outstanding. spaghetti, meatball, chicken Alfredo and pesto pasta topped with burrata cheese. My husband loved his Stramboli. Skylee was our server she was friendly and knowledgeable of the menu and preparation of the dishs and she makes fantastic drinks. We Had the best experience. Highly recommend Ciao Bella”

“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!!”

“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”

“Everything. The food, the drinks, the people”

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.”

“What a nice place to get a great dinner. Quick service, delicious food, and a refreshing atmosphere at Uncle Chicken’s Cast Iron Kitchen.”

“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.”
