“We enjoyed the outdoor patio. The staff was friendly, attentive. The food and drinks great! What a great beach town. We had our dog with us and this place allowed the dog on the patio. We had a bit of a problem finding a place right off. But we were pleasantly surprised with the whole place. Definitely recommend.“

“This was recommended by some locals, so I checked it out. Awesome place! Lovely atmosphere, away from all the noise. Ally is an awesome bartender and took very good care of me. I will definitely be back! It’s another world.“

“I want to like this place more. Great prices, great service, probably the only true hole in the wall place in all of NSB. Unpretentious, open late, has its own vibe. But..the smell is hard to deal with. It smells like an old musty back bedroom in grandmas house. And the bathroom smells like rotten piss. As constructive criticism…please fix this.

Edit: They haven’t said anything but the last couple times I’ve been in there it’s noticeably better. Maybe it’s a coincidence maybe it’s not but at any rate….thanks for the improvement.“

“Great band ! Wonderful bartenders!“

“What a gem! I'm new to the area, but my friend is a local who can often be found at Surf Lounge partaking in interactive gaming, pool tournaments, or simply enjoying a drink after a hard day's work. I've had only a few samples of the food there so I really can't speak on that just yet, however, the few "bites" were great. The staff is friendly, efficient service, and happy to answer my "not from NSB" questions. The patrons are also a friendly bunch. I think Surf Lounge will be a favorite watering hole ...and I recommend all you tourists vacationing in New Smyrna Beach to stop in to Surf Lounge, relax, have a drink, and a bite to eat ... It's my kinda "retro" for sure.--Sandy

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

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

“Kind of like a beachy TGIF’s. Cool fun atmosphere with junk all over the walls. Our waiter was AMAZING. Super friendly and knowledgeable about what’s vegan on the menu and what to modify. I had the double smashed veggie burger. It was “good”. Best part of going here is the 5$ all day margaritas. Updated from previous review on 2025-12-15“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 – A Hidden Gem in NSB If you’re looking for authentic Thai food with a warm, welcoming vibe, Thai Mango is the place. Tucked away in New Smyrna Beach, it’s one of those rare finds that makes you feel like you’ve discovered a local secret. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with genuine smiles and an easygoing, cozy atmosphere. The service is attentive without ever feeling rushed—you can tell they care about their guests. The food? Absolutely outstanding. The yellow curry with chicken is rich and flavorful, with just the right balance of creaminess and spice. The Pad Kee Mow bursts with fresh ingredients and bold flavors, and the spring rolls are light, crispy, and addictive. Portions are generous, and everything is made from scratch, so it’s worth the short wait. What really makes Thai Mango shine is the consistency—you get the same top-notch quality every visit. Whether you’re a local or just passing through NSB, this is the kind of spot you’ll find yourself coming back to again and again. Tip: Don’t leave without trying the pineapple fried rice—it’s as beautiful as it is delicious!“

“Nice beach side restaurant with great views. Inside is extremely nice with lots of table seating and an excellent bar with numerous bar stools. They have a large outside deck with ample seating and ocean views. They also have an outdoor tiki-bar style bar that is very nice. Food was good, not great and they were out of the item that I really wanted. The staff were friendly and attentive. It was low tide when we were there as the photos show. I would say this is a great bar to get drinks and enjoy the view.“

“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!“

“The service is always great, especially Phillip! Always pleasant, personable welcoming! Food is delicious! Highly recommend the Bloody Mary!!“
