“Dungeons crab was way overcooked. Bartender started out not so good until I ordered $150 just for myself. I asked to have two fresh filets of fish I just caught on a fishing charter from thier docks and he said they were too busy. I ordered and a guy came out from the kitchen I asked him and said not a problem. I just had to ordered a side and ordered much more that that. Had to pay $9per pound to cook the fish.“
“We stumbled across this place while looking for the North Turn historical marker. What a great find. Atmosphere can't be beat. We had Chicken Sandwich and Shrimp Pasta. Both were great. If I ever make it back to Daytona I will be here again.“
“Great place for breakfast! The food is spot on and the team is attentive and friendly. The owners put their heart into this and it shows. It was a very busy Daytona Bike Week morning when we visited and things ran smoothly even with several large groups coming in. We will be back next time we are in town!“
“This is an Irish restaurant and if that’s the food you’re looking for that’s what you’ll get. Outside of that there is few options. The fish tacos were really good but extremely messy. They also had an okay kids burger and Mac and cheese was on par with any other kids meal. The server was extremely nice just slow and might have been over worked. Plenty of parking since it’s in a strip mall. They are not dietary friendly. They tried very hard to accommodate and were very polite about but none of the staff was familiar with the ingredients in the food when no dairy was requested on one meal.“
“Decided to try another one of NSB’s best and it absolutely did not disappoint! Arrived at around 4:15pm and sat at the bar. My server was friendly and was quick to get me water and bread while I looked over the menu. Decided on the sea scallops & short rib served with truffle mashed potatoes and au jus, which was just fantastic! The three scallops were large, perfectly cooked, tender and delicious, the short rib was also incredibly tender and flavorful and the mashed potatoes were top tier, the truffle was noticeable but not overpowering! Their bread was also incredibly fresh and good, nice crunchy crust with pillowy soft insides and was right out of the oven, so the salted butter they provide melted right into it— Heaven! I decided to snag a piece of the caramel cheesecake to go, which was also a wise move, because it was creamy, sweet, and had a lovely caramel flavor throughout. I will undoubtedly be back here more often, even though I live around 40 minutes away!My only critique (and it’s a pretty minor one) is I would have preferred the short rib to be one large cube instead of several smaller bite sized pieces. The large cube would have been more photogenic, but from a flavor standpoint I suppose it doesn’t matter.“
“Very tasty food. I love the biscuits and gravy. Got great omelets too. Very reasonable prices. I really like their lunch specials too. Service Is the best in the area. Parking is easy and close. Fastest cooks in area. Closed Monday. Ambiance is comfy, friendly, diner like.“
“Sometimes you get a hanker and for some chicken fried steak. It wasn't my fault, it was a friend who posted their dinner online and it just got it in my brain. The starlight diner delivers a good tasting chicken fried steak with mashed potatoes and a side salad. All of which was great! I got the iced tea split half and half sweetened and unsweetened. The staff was super friendly and quick as usual.“
“We found Third Wave Cafe & Wine Bar on Guy Fieri's Diners, Drive Ins and Dives show and we are impressed! The food, the service and the atmosphere is excellent. We started with the Bagna Cauda which is a delicious French baguette served with warm olive oil garlic Confit, aged balsamic vinegar, fresh herbs, Parmigiano Reggiano, fire roasted veggies and anchovies. For our meals, we shared the Creste de Gallo which was a delicious fresh made pasta, broken scallops, Florida rock shrimp, semolina pasta, mushrooms, artichokes, cherry tomatoes, capers, tossed in scampi butter & pecorino. We also shared a Burrantina pizza, hand-crafted Burrata, house mozzarella, Parmigiano Reggiano, Peruvian pepper relish, baby arugula, charred artichoke, basil pesto, tomato, tomato sauce, balsamic glaze EVOO. The food was delicious and we took leftovers home for lunch! Definitely recommend this place if you're in New Smyrna Beach!“
“This place was delicious! I had the Club and it did not disappoint it was delicious and more than enough food for me! We came for lunch but the breakfast options looked great we will probably be back to try that as well!Kid-friendliness: The diner does not specifically have a kids menu, but there are still a lot of options on their regular menu the portions just wouldn’t be ‘kid-sized’“
“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.“
“This place is a jewelry. Awesome location with great vibes. Came for breakfast 2ith my daughter and sat at the bar top for fast quick service. Bella was excellent with a beautiful personality. Great food and great bloody marys. Great people. Will definitely come back next time I'm in Daytona.“

“We really enjoyed our dinner. The food was spot on, service was great, Alician took good care of us! The treetop bar was fun, music was good too, a little loud for talking.Wheelchair accessibility: There are stairs and an elevator to the treehouse.“
“As you might tell by its name, Aunt Catfish’s serves a variety of catfish. Catfish filets, catfish sandwiches, grilled catfish, fried catfish, and all in different variations. It’s a real home style eatery with friendly staff, a big menu, homemade accompaniments like cornbread, cheesy grits, baked beans, and pickled beets. The service was very good and if this is the type of food you like, it’s very well done. It seems to be very family friendly and sits adjacent to the water. Nice experience. Crowded, noisy, and happy.Parking: Big parking lotKid-friendliness: Lots of children“
“Osso Buco was super tender. Mahi was excellent. Friday night and was quoted a 55 minute wait but got a table in 40 minutes. Kudos for that. The only negative was that the waitress was slow in taking our order and slow to pick up our credit cards to pay. Food was slow to come out of the kitchen but that was probably due to the Osso Buco needing more time than the rest of the meal.“
“Place is very busy but the food is well worth it. The queso cheese is the best in the world. Place is amazing for breakfast or lunch. Again very busy on weekends so go on a week day. Avocado toast is wonderful. And all the waffles are so soft and buttery. When the restaurant is full/busy it is very cramped however so if you are disabled or have trouble moving that may be a concern. Amazing food!“
“Friendly and helpful staff, funky atmosphere and really good fresh food. Solid vegetarian options (the jerk cauliflower tacos were soooo good) and delicious choices for meat lovers.Vegetarian options: Amazing cauliflower jerk tacos! Highly recommend!“
“They had the best wings no one can compare! I’m was visiting from Indianapolis,, Indiana. I never tasted this unique tasting wings. They had great customer service! Very busy place but staff was great! I most definitely when I’m in Florida I come to get my favorite wings.“
“We went for a late lunch on a Saturday afternoon. I had the crab cake meal with smashed potatoes and asparagus. My husband had the mahi mahi with macaroni and cheese and hush puppies. My daughter had the grilled shrimp with smashed potatoes and macaroni. All of it was very fresh, seasoned, and delicious. The decor is so cool and unique, and the waiter was so kind and patient. My daughter asked if we can go back tomorrow. Definitely seems like a hidden gem.“
“My friends and I go to dinner every Wednesday and try different places each week. Today we came here! We absolutely loved our dinner. Each and every one of us. The atmosphere was great and Victoria was outstanding! I also must say it was nice to have the manager come by, twice, and checked on us and had conversation with us. You don’t see that very often at restaurants. We definitely will be back!“
“Soooo happy we decided to stop here. We all got burgers and none of us were disappointed! My only complaint would be that their beer selection was so vast I had a hard time choosing which kind to try first! Don't sleep.on the pickle fries. Probably the best I've had and the parmesean fries were perfect too. I cut wait to go back on our next visit.“
“We visit as a family tradition that started with my grandfather every spring break. We love the food, the location, the atmosphere. Our kids love going too!Parking: Parking can get hard to find the later in the evening you wait as it's a popular restaurant to get there early.Kid-friendliness: Kids love coming here. Variety of food options.“
“If any restaurant /Waffle House deserves a reviews it’s this place. Went twice while visiting and both times the service was amazing friendly with two different people and on par without any hesitation. The cook was great and just was a great experience. Best ever for myself.“
“Had a little graduation party at Lost lagoon in New Smyrna, Beach Florida. We made reservations and everything ran very smoothly and organized. The atmosphere was wonderful and the food was delicious. Great place to go for a great get together in the afternoon.!!“
“Food was delicious and beautifully prepared! Service was excellent. Best watermelon martini!Vegetarian options: Only one of us was vegetarian but she found many options and thoroughly enjoyed them.Dietary restrictions: Husband is gluten free and had many options without the dish being stripped of all taste!“
“The live singer lured us in from the street with her angelic voice on Saturday evening. My husband and I had been snacking throughout the day so we were just looking for a drink and small bite each. I had their clam chowder and could have screamed it was so heavenly tasting! Generous amounts of clam and the broth was peppery-perfect! Our server Melanie was spot on recommending the courtyard mussels! I have never ever tasted mussels so delicious. The goat cheese, bacon combo was genius. We can’t wait to go back and enjoy more from the menu. Melanie was really a highlight for us throughout our time there, very well timed service and her overall demeanor was lovely. This restaurant is a gem and so is Melanie!!“

“It does not look like much, but this is one of the best places to eat in the county. We try to go a few times a month because everything on the menu is awesome. The alligator ribs are awesome. Small ribs in one of the best sauces I have ever had. The Francaise fish is the best. I eat Keto so they gladly take out the pasta and sub in fresh spinach. When picking fish I have found it all good but especially the flounder, pompano and the trigger fish. The wife loves the farm chicken dish. Full of flavor and very moist. Be sure to try the steak and mushroom soup, it is divine. All the desserts are great especially the worms in dirt (think of it as chocolate mousse over oreo crumbs), but I love the pineapple cake or if you are lucky they have a special macadamia and passion fruit cake once a month. Be sure and ask for it so we pressure them to add it to the full time menu. Brunch is awesome. The banana french toast is a sin it is sooooo good. We cannot say enough good things about this place. "Looks are deceiving" is the mantra. The service folks are great. One down side is that it is always busy at night. Reservations in advance are a must. We ate at the bar on a Friday and Saturday a few times and they turned down over 20 tables every night while we were there. Check out all of our reviews. If we do not like it we do no review it so all of the ones you see are places that are fantastic. Follow us if you like. We had over 42 million reviews this year so far and we thank you for that. We don't get paid, we just love to eat. Be sure to click on "RobH" at the top of this review to see all of them and to follow us if you like good food and FUN.“
“There are few places in this world that check all the boxes.The Spott doesn’t even know what boxes are as they are so far outside the box in every aspect of culinary excellence! From their creative cuisine, out of this world chef, amazing staff, and the dedication, loyalty and over the top service from the owners. The Spott in New Smyrna Beach FL with their constantly amazing food has won every kudos from me and this town!“

“The quintessential beach bar and grill, right on the beach with gorgeous views of the Atlantic. Get a burger, they are so dang delicious! It's always busy on the weekend. Small parking lot fills fast, but I have an annual beach parking pass, so I use the Flagler access ramp next to the restaurant and find a spot within walking distance. Service is fast and friendly.“

“Service was bad. Food not cooked, hot food cold. Love to eat there but cannot recommend when overall experience was not a good one. Also had to ask for a server who just walked all around our table but completely ignored my grandson and me.“

“I dont remember the last time I didn't take home leftovers from a restaurant, but the food here was very excellent! One of the few restaurants I've ever been too with mac and cheese that had a cheese stretch, it was delicious. The burger I had was well prepared and cooked right. Very tasty food here, I will definitely be coming back for the ribs!Parking: Parking is shared with a dozen other strip mall businesses, may need to park near the movie theater if it's too crowded.“
“If you like having a TV at your table, then you'll appreciate it here. We had to ask a few times for an extra plate since the person who brought our food was not our server. Food was good, nothing special really. I'd go again if I was invited to go, but wouldn't choose it over other places, and I wouldn't necessarily avoid it either.“
“Top of the line food and service. This place has moved up to the top 2 restaurants in the area in our book. If you’re looking for a fancy but *relatively* causal evening, look no further than here. We absolutely recommend anything and everything on the menu! Go here asap!!“
“Crabby's is my "breakfast at the beach" spot when I come over to New Smyrna. Perfectly situated across from the beach and parking. Menu selections are great and the food is delicious. Staff is courteous and wonderful.??? for Crabby's!“
“Ordered for a family of 4...the server was very helpful and made sure to get our large order right. While waiting (didn't take long at all for the amout we ordered) the cooks was laughing and signing while they worked. Loved it! One was even talking about my ruben with pepper jack cheese and how he was gonna have to try it. Great attitudes and the food was amazing. We will return on our next getaway!!!“
“Went here for a family gathering, everyone had a great time. Our waitress was great, and even though we had a confusion on wether an item was available or not, the GM came to our table and gave us free appetizer coupons to make up for it. (: pretty clean too ?“
“Malibu Beach Grill has a pleasant environment outdoor seating, available next to the lake and playground. Their food and service are both reliably good, above average for this area. Prices are a bit steeper than some other options, but the food is just so worth it! The plates usually come with a side of vegetables, and some sort of a starch, or perhaps a second vegetable, which is nice to have,if you're trying to eat healthily. I usually get the citrus scallops, but I've never been let down no matter what I choose. Their desserts are usually equally good and worth the extra spend.“
“Best German food since my grandma!The girls that take care of you are as top notch as the food! Will be going on Friday for the fish fry special and probably pick up a lot of other things.All I can say is YUMMY ?!!!!!!Parking: No problem with parking“
“We walked in with 11 people on Easter Sunday for dinner. The hostess was very friendly and was ready to seat us earlier than expected. During our short wait, we ordered drinks from the bar. The bartender was fast and also really nice. Strawberry margaritas and mojitos were refreshing and not too sweet.The seasonings, fair pricing, and service is what made dinner absolutely perfect. We will definitely be back. Hopefully you’re early enough to also enjoy the peel’n eat shrimp special. Highly recommend. Don’t pass this one up.Kid-friendliness: Tons of options between the sides and the kids menu.“
“#1-- the service was great. For the amount of patrons @ the time, it sure looked like everyone was getting their orders fairly quickly.#2-- the atmosphere was as if everybody knew each other. It was pleasant & at times, funny how it seemed like we were all family, the way we carried on.#3-- the appetizers came out fast, and gave us exactly the time to enjoy, as the entrees'came out. Food was excellent ??. Definitely will go back.Parking: Depending on what time you get there, parking is available on site (limited), but there's plenty of street parking available.Wheelchair accessibility: There's a ramp built-in to the restaurant, so it's pretty easy to maneuver into & around the establishment.“
“We came during the week for lunch. This is a house converted to a restaurant serving the community for years. It’s also at the end of a cul-de-sac on the riverfront. I absolutely love this place. Nothing fancy, but who cares with the view of the water and the boats. Service and food really good. Can’t wait to come back.“
“Always awesome to go any day of the week but St. Paddy's weekend is the best time of the year. Service is great. Truly my favorite Bar in town. Food is always great. You'll never miss the spot with any plate and you'll make a great impression if you are bringing some to downtown Daytona “
“I highly recommend giving Lola’s a try for anyone that hasn’t. The food and service was excellent thanks in part to our server Kacie. Ever since the first time I had Kacie, she remembers exactly how I like my food and how much spice I can handle.“
“Really enjoyed chatting with the good folks who run Midtown Cafe, friendly people! Was looking for a place to get a vegan plate one evening after painting a mural in daytona and this was the only place I felt comfortable popping into. They have a beyond burger w an awesome grainy bun and can make several of their dishes vegan! Love the arts initiative that the cafe has supported as well. Clean, reasonable prices AND they have beer and kombucha ok A++“
“We ordered the Meatza Pizza. We were starved having just moved to the area. We were pleasantly surprised at how generous the toppings were on the pizza. We also ordered a salmon spread (a neighbor recommended it to us)...it was "meh" at best...it was dry salmon with a ton of capers on it it...the chips it was served with were good though. Would have given it 4 stars because of the salmon dip, but the pizza was so great, I had to give them a 5 star!“
“Took me years to go in but now that I have I love it! I have tried several different types of waffles and they have all been good. Service is usually super quick and food is always hot. It can get super crowded and busy at certain times but it’s also great to go at like 2 AM. Interesting characters for sure lol they also have lunch items not just breakfast. There is a parking lot and they are open late.“
“The service and food at Oceanview terrace was good, and the service we received from Shanice was fantastic and very accommodating for my son. The hotel was pretty slow during the middle of the week but a very clean restaurant and good service from Shanice.“
“We visited yesterday, it was a fantastic experience. The ocean view is stunning with the beach and waves rolling in. Chose the Coconut shrimp and the Calamari Caesar salad; they were both excellent. The Key Lime pie was a great choice for dessert. The staff was friendly and very attentive. We will be back tonight for another enjoyable evening!“
“Absolutely love this place! It’s a must try for those you haven’t yet! The customer service is fast & great, the food is amazing and it’s such a peaceful setting. I cannot wait for their grand opening and hopefully their lobster bisque is still on the menu!“
“This course is always in immaculate conditions. Best in the whole county. Bobby in the pro shot is a champ! Not just him but everyone is super pleasant.Flagsticks is also the place to be! Couldn’t ask for a better course or treatment from the entire staff. Closest thing to a private club feel you can find.“
“We ate here on vacation, the luve music was awesome! Drinks were really good and our bartender was great! We knew it would be a wait to sit, the only reason it gets low stars on service is because we sat down and it had been 20min before someone helped us, and that was after we yelled for someone. He then said he would find our server, and didnt.. food was good, but overall the server made our experience a little frustrating especially after waiting an hour to sit to begin with! Our bartender was amazing though!“
