28 Best American Restaurants in New Smyrna Beach

“Budget Tip: If you want the experience without the $200 price tag, their Happy Hour (usually until 5:30 PM or 6:00 PM) offers $10 cocktails and smaller "Spott Sliders" or "Hot Honey Shrimp" for $12–$16, which can bring a meal for two down to around $80–$100.“

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!“

“We felt very comfortable in your restaurant, enjoyed the food and the service was excellent“

“We’ve eaten there for two days in a row! Our Airbnb host recommended it, so we went just across the street and arrived late, but Sarah was a JEWEL!! We dined outside to enjoy the nice breeze. Today, we decided to do carry out, and they remembered my husband and even asked where his wife was… very thoughtful! You rarely find that kind of service! Their food is delicious, and plenty of it! Hats off to them for clean restaurant, great prices and friendly service and cooks. We’ll definitely return on our next trip to New Smyrna Beach! Kimberly and Galen Roberts Chattanooga, TN“

“First visit to this culivers and was quick getting my order and the waitress Breanna was going above and beyond her job duties helping customers feel at ease tending to their every need, I was happy she was the waitress on the floor. Great service friendly workers!!“

“Along with many awesome visits here, we had our daughters rehearsal dinner at Ocean Breeze and I can’t compliment Jimmy and his team enough! They were so helpful and accommodating, the food was DELICIOUS and Joey, Frankie and Evan took great care of us! Can’t wait for our next visit to NSB so we can come back! Great food, drinks and atmosphere!“

“Absolutely top-notch! We have very discriminating palets and see no reason to go out to eat if we can’t get good service. SoNappa is 100% on point! Our first visit was to the Ormond location, which was also absolutely spectacular, which led us to visiting the New Smyrna Beach location. This location is much larger with dining indoors, upstairs and downstairs along with patio service.

Our server was Amanda and we have every intention of asking for her in the future. We were so happy to have all of our expectations met.

Presentation, flavor, portion sizes, and value is completely there. It’s an experience rarely found in Volusia County. The atmosphere and vibe is absolutely there for everybody from every walk of life. This restaurant in particularly this location is extremely highly recommended from someone who usually only goes out to eat when I can have a chef tasting or Michelin star experience. There’s absolutely no reason to be on the fence on whether or not you should go. Sorry no photos, I was busy being present with the awesome experience.“

“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!“

“Always great staff and people! Great food and atmosphere!“

“Friendly atmosphere drop your cares at the door! A place that makes you smile“

“The food is absolutely the best in new Smyrna! the black and mahi is to die for service is great. I must try.!“

“I wanted to try a different restaurant and A friend recommended as a nice place and said the food was “ok”. So My first time visiting Corkscrew Bar and Grille and I agreed with her. The food wasn’t bad but was just OK and average. The atmosphere was awesome! Nice Upscale. I would probably only go back if I went with others that specifically wanted to go there. They also offer outside seating. Pretty pricey.“

“Love The Baker's Table. I've been here a few times with family and most recently sat at the bar by myself. Waitstaff is always very attentive and welcoming. Food is delicous, and the desserts are to die for. I haven't made it in for brunch yet, but it's always on my list when I'm in NSB.“

“We come down in November and December and Wake Up Cafe' is our first stop. The food is delicious, and very fresh. The business is run very well and we have ate there for years. Do not miss this restaurant- it is wonderful!“

“The food! the Staff! The service! Shea, Dan, Chris, And Scott who is the Chef and owner are just amazing!“

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

“Have eaten here 3 times in 2 months! Food, presentation and staff were terrific! Everything was outstanding and we can’t wait to return to NSB to eat here again!“

“My husband and I enjoyed dinner here this evening. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was gorgeous and our server was super friendly! I had the coconut curry with fish and shrimp! Best curry dish I have ever had!“

“Had a lovely meal with a couple of friends and was served by Christian C who helped me decide on the right dish for me given it was my first time at Chases. He suggested the jerk chicken pasta which was very filling and tasted like a blend of Jerk spices and creamy pasta. I personally would’ve used chicken thighs for it instead of breast but the flavors made me forget the texture. Excellent service and lovely view.“

“I revised this review to 5 stars. The manager reached out to me within minutes of posting my original review—Julia—to address my experience and that really impressed me. Thank you, Julia. I respect that. 5 stars.

Original post:
Maybe I am just being spiteful. I admit that. However, I went into this bar/restaurant because I was parked at the public beach parking next door and the meter could not accept credit card payments—it was broken. I asked if they could break a hundred dollar bill and they flat said no. She said they didn’t have it. The bar was packed. I find that hard to believe. She didn’t ask any of the servers or the manager. I realize it is a restaurant and not a bank but the interaction just felt discourteous. I worked in the service industry for years and it just was not personable. End rant lol. I will be at the beach all day but I will not be taking my family to this restaurant for lunch or dinner. Not today or ever. And I’m posting this review because that is the impact of a negative service interaction“

“Every experience here has been absolutely amazing!! Kudos to Kay and Cheyanne for always making our experience AMAZING!!! Best food drinks!!! Pretzel bites are always my go tooo!!!“
