35 Best American Restaurants in Ormond Beach

“Where to begin?! We went for supper last night with a friend visiting from out of town. It was a first time for all of us and we were absolutely BLOWN AWAY! From the tastiness of a simple appetizer [herbed bread with butter, pesto, and olive oil for dipping], to the incredible entrées [filet medallions with Parmesan risotto, chicken carbonara], and ending with one of the most decadent desserts [brownie a la mode] we had ever had, all of us left talking about it and planning our next visit. It was so, so delicious. We were able to speak with the manager Nick, and he was beyond pleasant and friendly. My husband and I have both worked in restaurants before and to see a manager take such time and care in ensuring guests are happy and enjoying themselves is next level service. Our waitress Katelyn was wonderful as well, and funny by joining in and cracking some jokes back at my husband. We cannot say enough positive things about SoNapa, specifically this Ormond location. We will most certainly be back and highly recommend going to see for yourself! No photos because we were living in the moment and savoring every single bite!!“

“Good old fashion cooked meal with good menu choices. The service was great.“

“I have been sleeping on Dustins. I'm glad we went! The place is very nostalgic and reminds me of my childhood going to Sonnys. The food is really good and it's a great value. I like their 10 wings for $10 special. The wings are fat and yummy! I've had the dry rub ones, peach, buffalo and honey garlic. The honey garlic are definitely the best but they are all so good. The salad bar is excellent. There are so many good options on there. Id recommend this place. 10/10“

“Joe Oliva, the proprietor of the widely acclaimed restaurant known as Alexander Prime in Ormond Beach, has brought his 35 years of experience to his latest venture. His very attentive wait staff, made our dining experience a delight. The relaxed and welcoming atmosphere is enhanced by the individual and very intimate dining areas that make this nightspot one that we would recommend without hesitation. We began with the very fresh, lightly breaded, crisp and scrumptious calamari appetizer. The specialty main course, Rack of Lamb, was delicately prepared over a bed of sauteed spinach and a freshly prepared eggplant. For all the reasons stated above, Alexander's Prime remains one of the most desirable and acclaimed venues in Ormond Beach. If you are anticipating a freshly prepared meal, that's what you will receive when you enter the house of Alexander's. Relax and enjoy!“

“Well worth the drive. Amazing service and food.“

“We stopped in yesterday for some lunch and I'm so glad we chose this spot! The food was incredible and hit the spot! The location is superb! They even gave my doggo a pup-cup! We will definitely be back!“

“We just ran the 360 Photo Booth at Salty D’s for a charity fundraiser event for Awareness Day (Legal Abuse) with After Awareness. We had such a great time, the venue, staff and food was phenomenal! I overheard people saying it was the best ribeye (if I recall right - I’m a vegetarian here, lol) they have ever heard. I had French fries and the house salad and it was great! We were blown away with the hospitality, kindness and quality of food. I would definitely recommend, plus you’re right across the street from the beach!“

“Ask for Lacey, she’s great. Very prompt, very courteous and very pleasant attitude all the way around. The food was delicious. We recommend the trifecta with either the Belgian waffle or the multigrain pancake. We get a side of potatoes with that and share it and it’s fantastic. Recommend this to anybody looking for a nice brunch place .“

“The food was absolutely amazing. Everything was seasoned to perfection and cooked exactly as it should be. Alex was an exceptional person. My son never tried new things, but Alex brought Calamari to him. My son son tried it and loved. He also tried the fried gator and really liked it too. Fantastic food and an amazing atmosphere!“

“The food was SO GOOD! Had the burnt end sandwich. Best I’ve ever had.“

“We stopped in during Daytona Bike Week 2025! Had a delicious burger with all veggies and cheese! Big portions and great taste! Friendly staff too! Thanks Betty & Staff!“

“My husband and I visited the West location. We were greeted by a cheery winetender named Arielle who gave us a tour of the impressive wine selections before we sat down to enjoy the cozy ambiance, jazz and large screen video that brought us right to the beauty of Italy's Amalfi Coast. We only drink organic wine and she reccomended a bottle of Friend of Farmers Verdejo which is now our favorite. She also suggested pairing it with a fruit and cheese platter which was the perfect pre dinner compliment. A special cheese made only from high mountain sheep in Spain called Manchego also paired with dates and more, even gluten free crackers by our request, was decadently enjoyed. I shifted mood for my usual Tequila and to my surprise they also offered mixed cocktails by the can and the Margaritas I had were delicious. There was a pleasant small crowed there, nothing overly loud which made for an intimate happy hour duck away. Wine Not West is a very special place in Ormond Beach. Thank you for a lovely time Arielle.“

“The food was outstanding. The employees have genuine qualities. I’ll be back.“

“Love this place“

“Great server's!
I only go quarterly but always nice. EXCELLENT draft selection and a varied menu.
Had the Philly Cheesesteak, and it was very good (I'm from Philly so I know my sandwiches).
Customers are always polite and respectful. Plenty of parking.

Kid-friendliness: No problem“

“great food. especially tatater kegs“

“We had a wonderful breakfast at Keke’s today. We brought our disabled brother, who is in a wheelchair. The staff was very attentive to our situation and seated us at a table accessible for his wheelchair and even provided his drink in a cup with a top, all without us even asking. Everywhere else we have been to eat with him, we have to ask for these things and the restaurants have not been very helpful. Cudos to the Keke’s staff. We will be back.“

“Pleasant experience not a large seating area mostly to go. They have all kinds of buy one get one specials. If you look at my pictures you'll see some of them. I got a double cheeseburger no roll no pickles and a small cheese curd. Both were cooked excellent I enjoyed my meal I would recommend coming here.“

“service os always great and food is soo good I wish yall put a waffle house in utah I would go all the time“

“We just moved here from N. Georgia and we are so happy to have a Dennys so close to home.. it one of our favorite places for good food at reasonable prices. Our server, Tomeka, our server is so friendly and a lot of fun ! A great dining experience every time.“

“Went there with a friend and had an incredible service. I wish I caught the name of the server, but we didn’t but she was on top of it checking in with us all the time, taking our order and getting it in fast she was funny and very on top of it dang wish we caught her name.“

“I was in on Sunday 6/22 and I wanted to give thanks to Traci for giving us one of the best dining experiences we’ve had in a long time! From the moment we sat down, she was warm, attentive, and genuinely made us feel welcome. She anticipated our needs without being overbearing, made great recommendations, and brought such a positive vibe to the table. It’s clear she takes pride in what she does and it shows. We can’t wait for football season!“
