50 Best American Restaurants near Ponce Inlet

“we enjoyed our meal and the view is awesome. Staff is very friendly and food was delicious.“

“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.“

“I had the BBQ ribs and my friend had the Thai ribs today. She liked hers and mine were DELICIOUS! They were meaty, juicy, and the sauce was perfect! Will definitely have them again... soon!“

“Food was really good, my wife dinner was a small portion for the price. But she said the food was very good. I had the fish dinner and it was good.“

“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“

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

“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.“

“Went last night. Place was beautiful! We saw dolphins during sunset. Christian was great!“

“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.“

“Best local Riverfront Café with the most delightful servers Judy (20 years service) & Tess (4 yrs). Consistently good, homecooked, yummies, reasonable prices, and a great view! Plus you can pull up in your #watercraft!Thank Y'All!! Oh, Beer, Wine, Champagne & Mimosas and #CASH ONLY! 🥳💜“

“Everytime I come here I feel like I have Mark as our server! He’s wonderful! So polite and social and on top of it! 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!“

“Our favorite place in NSB. The Irish Eggs Benedict is a must try! And the Staff is outstanding, always! 💯“

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

“Great breakfast rite buy the beach“

“Hubby was craving a good hot dog and we stopped in here. Didn’t realize they were closing in less than 10min of us walking in the door. We offered to leave, but both the owner and waitress encouraged us to stay! They weren’t bothered in the least that we were there. Treated us like family and had great conversation! Now. The food! Holy Toledo!e and my son both got the burgers. Truly fresh, hand patty burger cooked in a char grill. Had so much flavor! SO freaking good! Hubby got the BOGO coney and was also blown away! It killed me to be able to eat all my food…it was so good. Kids have already asked to come back tomorrow! Thank you for treating us like family.“

“Great place all the way around! Awesome food! Great staff! Don't skip out on outside area just because it's a little chilly out. The wind blocking curtain and heaters make it such a cozy spot!“

“Well I must say I had a wonderful experience last Last Week when I visit Midtown Cafe The Plant base Burger was so Delicious I never had a plant base Burger that tasted so good, the Atmosphere was pleasant and Clean staff was very friendly I would recommend this place for the best plant base burger, trust me you won’t regret.“

“Food and service was great! Staff was very nice. The mahi sandwich, coconut shrimp, wings, and burgers were amazing (especially the mahi burger). We vacation in Daytona every year and will definitely have this one on our favorites list!“

“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!“

“Food was great. Wide variety on the menu appetizers to dessert. Big drink selection. Very cool decor. Service was great very attentive staff and on Friday and Saturday night they have live music. The band we heard tonight was fantastic. This will definitely become a regular place to go“

“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“

“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!!“

“I've searched for the authentic German schnitzel mit spatzle...this place is the best.“

“First time ever visiting Cheddar's and definitely look forward to another visit. Ordered the chicken tenders with a loaded baked potato and corn. My son had the chicken pot pie. Everything was hot, fresh and delicious. Ordered a house and caesar salad on the sides, they were quite large (although I don't think the croutons were 'scratch' made) very cold and fresh. A lot of food for a incredibly reasonable price this day and age, benefits of being owned by Darden and having the buying power to offer these prices I would imagine. I'm not normally one to get too excited about chain restaurants, but Darden does really good with Long Horn and seemingly so with Cheddar's too.“

“Good food“

“My boyfriend and I played here on our Florida vacation and really really enjoyed it! The course was beautiful and everyone there was so incredibly kind! My boyfriend even won the raffle! Perfect day to wrap up our vacation. We will definitely be back for sure!“

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

“We live just down the street from Flagsticks Bar and Grill and the new owner John Springer is a friend. We are very happy with the changes he implemented since taking over. The kitchen is open longer hours than it used to be, the menu has been improved and we find the staff to be very friendly and professional. The looks of the entire place, including the banquet room and the patio, is much better than it used to be. My pet peeve used to be the unpredictable hours of operation. This is no longer the case. We would highly recommend it to anyone.“

“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.“

“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.“

“We ate here 2 nights out of three while on vacation. Best place EVER! Angelina was an awesome server. We had a huge party (25-35) and she came in special just for us. We will be back🥰“

“This restaurant deserves more business on a Saturday night, based on ambiance/design, menu variety and pricing, food quality (for the most part) and friendly staff. Server Nick was very nice - drink orders and the food itself seemed to take longer than necessary, given the lower head count of diners. The menu was excellent in terms of choices and pricing. The boneless ribs appetizer in the Specials page was outstanding! Tender, tasty and lots! Adding one Side made it a meal. The fried asparagus was killer good! The snapper “catch of the day” was good not great. Nice size, cooked well but overly firm and a tough skin side. The decor, especially the colorful blown glass wall sconces and bowls, is very appealing. And the relative quiet, while due in part to a low turnout, was nice. The check total for four was pleasing. Give Malibu Grille a look - you'll be pleased.“

“So glad we stopped in. Delicious food for great prices. Our server Heather was awesome. We got the mozarella sticks appetizer, buffalo chicken salad, wings with seasoned fries, and american burger.

Our fav wing flavor hands down was the one reccomnded by the server -- Wally style sweet chilli with cajun dry rub.“

“😍They are the best, great selections on food and gifts at their country store“

“We booked this restaurant last year right after the race. So I thought since my last experience was incredible we should book another reservation. This time we chose to eat outside to be alone since the where people inside that were pretty loud. We had a wonderful waitress. She was literally the nicest lady. She had to deal with my food allergies and was still very calm and had suggestions. The bartender even made me 2 virgin drinks because I was allergic to the first one. Then another couple came on the patio to eat too. The patio to ourselves only lasted for a while. Most guests leave after the race so the area in general is pretty quiet. Our food was delicious. We took pictures of the cars inside. They even had a car instruction manual as the menu. And the bread is soooo good we ordered another round. I love this place. Thanks to our waitress who gave us such a wonderful experience. We will definitely be back!“

“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.“

“Always fun. Always tasty. Always great service. 💕“

“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 place was spectacular!! We loved it! Even extended our stay one more day!“

“This was our first experience at the Myrtle Beach location and TK did not disappoint. She made our first visit the best! We will definitely be back because of her. She was an excellent waitress and we had a blast! If you go ask for TK she wont disappoint! The food was yummy too! If you are easily offended don't go because you will get Your feelings hurt. But if you have tough skin and can take a joke then go and have fun. We will definitely be back for TK!“

“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“

“I've been to this place 3 times all on different nights...The security is great and the bartenders are great especially the head bartender!!! I can't remember his name but he was a true help in explaining what each night is being im from nyc!!! Ima be a regular here for sure!!! ima try the food my next time i go back but besides that the drinks hit well and the place is beautiful...I don't do hookah but ima do a hookah to tap in to everything the place has to offer!!! Salute to Euphoria“
