50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Ponce Inlet

“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.“

“Food was amazing and great service“

“This is my get away spot for me time! Love it“

“Wow just wow! Food was amazing and portions are enormous! My family of 4 usually shares a pancake and one other item such as the hot potatoes bowl or a savory crepe! If you want to change the protein in anything just ask! We do not eat pork and they accommodate us and even make our items on a clean grill and change their gloves! Not many places will do this! The owner is almost always there and he is cooking or making coffee. The entire staff is friendly and after just 3 visits remembered us and knew our coffee likes. Thanks Cody and crew for an amazing place to treat our family with food and coffee!“

“The Porch hosted birthday party, and it was nothing short of incredible. Hands down, the best sandwiches I have ever had. The atmosphere was warm, welcoming, and full of life, the kind of place you instantly want to linger. Every person working there was wonderful, and Doris, the manager, truly went above and beyond. You can feel the care, joy, and intention behind everything they do. If you haven’t been yet, you absolutely need to come try the food. The best part? The place is filled with the Holy Spirit. You don’t just leave full, you leave refreshed.“

“Great flavourful food. Take out quantity twas a large portion. Best place for Indian food in Port Orange“

“We went to a different seafood place and gave up, because it just wasn’t good. But locals recommended Macker Seafood so we tried it. It was AMAZING! Seasoning, flavor, it’s SOO fresh, service was amazing. It’s such a good restaurant. We can’t wait to come back on our next trip, this will definitely be our go to seafood spot.“

“Swung through with the wife and some friends after lunch while on vacation. Went with the classic twist, cherry dip. You know what you're getting with DQ - no surprises here. Solid 3.5. It was cool to see an old school DQ shop, so gave it an extra .5 star.“

“Never been a big fan of buying drinks! I’m always scared to not have options that fit my diet. Also never know what to get. A sweet girl named Asia gave me good options was patient and truly had such a light about her. Drink was also fantastic! Will be coming back!“

“First of all, the owners are so welcoming recommending food according to my hunger. Anyway, I had the bacon egg and cheese croissant sandwich and it was delicious one of the best I’ve ever had. As I enjoyed my meal I noticed there were mostly repeat customers and that’s enough said. Check them out you won’t regret it.“

“Stopped by for lunch today. It has been a while since we have visited the Corkscrew. The service and food were top notch.
More importantly, all employees seemed generally happy to be there! All were working as a team and not rushed. Bri (our server) was excellent.

Looking forward to our next visit.“

“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! 🥳💜“

“We decided to try this for breakfast and trust me it did not disappoint. The service was excellent. We even met the owner super down to earth and funny. Food is amazing and big portions. Prices reasonable. Will definitely be coming back. Want to try for dinner. Definitely a must try good home cooking“

“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!“

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

“Friendly, laid back atmosphere with diverse local talent on display.“

“We stopped for lunch on our road trip and we will be back for sure. It’s a 3 hour ride from our house but the is a destination place to eat. Outstanding service from Emily and insane pizza, excellent beer and a laidback feel. 5 Stars all day! ✌️😎“

“We tried this local restaurant today for the first time. The food was terrific, cooked perfectly. The “fish camp fixings” was a nice addition. Our server was friendly and efficient. We dined outside to enjoy the beautiful day. The children’s playground out there seemed out of place. It took away from the esthetics of the place and the whole dining experience.“

“My spouse and I tried here for the first time after seeing some reviews from local Facebook groups. We were immediately welcomed by staff as soon as we walked in and chose a table. The environment was clean, not too noisy, and full of culture. We were immediately brought menus and their signature corn as a snack and our waitress came right away to take our drink order. We placed our order, the waitress being friendly and helping us with any questions. We didn’t wait too long for our meals. When they arrived they were gorgeously plated and smelled amazing. The flavors were incredible and every bite was something new. We were greeted a few times by various staff checking in on us. Our drinks were never empty. We had enough leftovers for another meal. I already cannot wait to go back. 10/10 recommend!“

“Walked in and was instantly welcomed as if we were regulars. Great chill vibe and relaxing environment. We will definitely be back.“

“Shes the Biggest 💯🍦🔥 Hands Down Plus I'm Her Ac Guy 💪🏾💪🏾“

“We went to Caribbean Jacks while on vacation, and were not disappointed. The food was wonderful, and the service was fantastic. This is not the reason for the review however. When we contacted the restaurant about a possible lost credit card, Chris and the rest of his staff went above and beyond by locating the card, then personally mailing it to our home. Now that’s service!“

“I am so glad I stumbled upon this place walking around Flagler Ave… maybe the best Thai food I’ve ever had! I walked in asking for something vegetarian with tofu and was recommended the green curry. All of the ingredients were very fresh and the flavor of the dish was spectacular, I’m still talking about it days later. The tofu was the best tofu I’ve ever tasted with the perfect texture. I also want to mention that the woman who took my order was very kind and welcoming. The only downside is that I’m not local so I can’t make this my new go to Thai spot. I’m hoping to be able to place another order before I leave town…this was the best meal I’ve had since visiting.“
