“Since I live in Ponce Inlet, I've been to Down the Hatch many times and have always found their seafood to be so fresh all the time. This time I had my sons visiting me from St. Louis, they wanted to eat at the best restaurant for seafood, and of course, we went right here and it didn't disappoint. They especially loved the shecrab soup with the sherry on the side. It was scrumptious. Their dinners were wonderful, as well as the desserts. Needless to say, we went home with plenty of leftovers. Steve, the server was great. All in all, it was a perfect night. So whether you live nearby or on vacation, make it a point to dine there.“

“Great food with fast friendly service. Lots of locals and fast table turnover.“

“the restaurant is located in ocean jewels resort . the restaurant is extremely clean. I have food allergies an the lady let me read the labels , made my hamburger with cheese no bun. I substituted a fruit cup for French fries. that was a bit skimpy, even tho I paid a $ additional $3.00. my husband ordered BLT, he was happy with it . a bit pricey but the food is excellent and it's very clean. the only issue I had was the trainee perhaps? eating a biscuit right behind the counter“

“I love farm to fit. The food is exceptional, so fresh. I love the salads. You can taste how fresh everything is, plus the owners are so down to earth and if you want a little change on anything they do everything they can to make you happy. I want to eat there everyday.“

Great food, great staff, great customer service! Thank you for everything you do guys!“

“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“

“Shay was our server and made our first Cheddar’s experience positive and inviting. The food was great and was served in large portions. I also highly recommend the strawberry lemonade— will definitely come back when we come through the area!“

“Overall good experience. My fiance and I picked this restaurant for our date night because of the reviews. Our server was great, she was attentive and stopped by our table an appropriate amount of times. We started with drinks , the mango martini was perfect, my drink not so much. I had a Malibu somerhing. We ordered the goat cheese platter as a starter and it was amazing. Probably my favorite part of the night. We picked simple dishes, the street tacos and the burger. I hate to say I was a little disappointed. The chicken street tacos had little seasoning , the burger seemed more like meat loaf than a nice burger. I still think this restaurant deserves a chance , maybe we will stop by again and try different dishes. Hope you have a great experience!“

“Our server Stephanie was absolutely wonderful, as always! She goes above and beyond to make sure everything is perfect, and her friendly, attentive service truly makes the experience memorable. The food was great (the wings especially hit the spot!), but Stephanie is a big part of why we keep coming back. She’s a real asset to the team, and we’ll definitely be back again soon!“

“McKenna delivered the best customer service! We had the pleasure of being served by John and Jenna and they were the sweetest, kindest and most attentive servers. Thank you for going above and beyond for us, the Mahi Mahi was delicious.“

“I am so happy that this restaurant has vegan options! Plus they fixed my dish without oil. I should've asked for no salt, too, because I found my dish too heavily seasoned with something that they said wasn't salt but it sure tasted that way. Enjoyed that yummy green juice and ate the tofu and gluten-free avocado toast and sent back the potatoes for a fresh order, no seasoning. Perfect! They were happy to accommodate. Will definitely go back!“

“Best breakfast in town, been going since the 90’s.“

“Such a laid-back and Chill Spot to take a lunch. Not to mention the wonderful customer service and staff. If you notice, the more years go by the more we lack in customer service. Will this place just restored my faith in the field of customer satisfaction. Food is top quality with premium ingredients and very well reasonably priced. I will be back at least once or twice a week. Thankfully I only work walking distance.“

“If you get the chance to try their food, TAKE IT! From the chicken Alfredo to their rice bowls, everything tastes fresh and hot, and seasoned to perfection. Their rice bowls are something special. If you have one, you’re gonna want another.“

“My family hosted an 80th birthday party at Flagsticks and it was amazing! John and his staff were extremely attentive to our needs and requests during the planning, the implementation and execution of the party. The food display was magnificent. The service was superb and the attention to detail was on point. This location is the perfect spots for locals to host events!“

“Good food“

“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!“

“Good restaurant, liked the food and the staff was friendly. You do need to check into the community as a guest, so just drive up to the gate and let them you want to go to the restaurant. I had a burger and it came with am inch thick patty!“

“i wrote this once but i am not sure if it actually posted. there was this super cute ginger that worked there and omg i can’t even stress how cute he was. he was rlly tall and ginger. if anyone knows who he is, help a girl out and lmk?. i was too scared to ask for his number but he was adorable.“

“Thank God for Culver's -they're AMAZINGLY GOOD! I had a 3 pc fish dinner and it was yummmm ? After Google maps sent me on a wild goose chase & ending up nearly wrecking my bike (due to storm trees being in the bike path)-I ended up at Culver's again 2 days later & once again I was BLOWN AWAY at the service and food! Great staff & overall experience- you will not be disappointed with the portion size or the taste of delicious food! Great addition to NSB??“

“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!!“

“We haven't eaten here in a few years, but it was still incredible! Of course the BBQ is great but the Brunswick Stew was absolutely out of this world. Great food, great service! A must stop when in Daytona.“

“Our first time dining at Blue Flame and the food and service were excellent! The hamburger I had for lunch was one of the best I have ever had! The service team are amazing and attentive. We also enjoyed the Thanksgiving meal as the turkey was cooked perfectly and the pumpkin pie was super! Thank you!“

“Had the fruit bowl, garlic Parmesan wings w/ fries, chicken tenders w/fries. It was all amazing. wings had a light smoke taste but did not over kill the garlic Parmesan. crispy but not to hard. chicken tenders were amazing... unique taste. Gotta go to try it. food was cooked fresh, hot when delivered to table. fries served in little fry basket. seasoned just right. not soggy. The pricing I believe is very reasonable compared to other local restaurants. staff friendly and knowledge about food prepared. Highly recommend. Kris manager and Chef Steven were so kind and professional. thank you guys for such a great experience.“

“Very good food!!! Wings and ribs off the chain!!! 2 of the staff members aren’t really people friendly.“

“I rarely eat at restaurants, but Culver's makes an irresistible Reuben that is priced right and not Skippy on the ingredients. At least that's my experience in DeLand, FL.
At this location they have adequate staff to have your order ready amazingly quickly.“

“Great food and service, will return for more.“
