50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants near Ponce Inlet

“My first visit was today for my birthday and Ed was our waiter! He was wonderful! The food was top notch and views were amazing! We’ll be back with friends! I had the shrimp tacos! Very good!“

“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.“

“Amazing food. Amazing drinks. Amazing beach atmosphere. Ask for Theresa for a server! We came back twice in one week because it was so good.“

“The peel and eat were hot and tasty, large and easy to peel! Drawn butter - yum. Got a pizza too-fresh onions, love their extra cheese & sausage! Yum yum!“

“Just tried it for the first time my wife and I loved it we’ll definitely go back. Super friendly staff“

“Authentic, delicious food. One of my very few favorites here in Daytona.“

“Had the pleasure of eating dinner here last night , staff super friendly, food was awesome!!!“

“Consistently good food with a classy and elegant atmosphere. I highly recommend trying them!“

“If you’re looking for breakfast in Daytona this is the spot man. Amazing atmosphere and the food was absolutely delicious. I got the Elvis waffle and my wife had the garden omelet with sausage added. 10/10 on every aspect of the experience definitely a must have if you’re in the area!!!“

“excellent food, drinks, and service. Michele was our server and extremely knowledgeable of ALL menu items. If you like bloody Marys, the Holy Mary was delicious, just like an appetizer...lol. I highly recommend the place and Michele!“

“Unfortunately our visit this time (we come about once per month) was subpar. The good stuff - food was excellent and our server was good. Bad stuff - we had a reservation but were made to wait 20 minutes. Your front staff seemed flustered. I have to assume the folks at the table that was promised to us stayed longer than they should have? Maybe you put folks there earlier with no reservation? That’s unclear. But what is clear is that the ability to make a reservation so we don’t have to wait keeps us coming to Sonapa. So it was a let down. I think better management of reserved tables is needed and if you seat someone without reservations at a table that is reserved for 5:45, let the party know they need to vacate by then.“

“Food was amazing and great service“

“The food was excellent. We will definitely be back. Highly recommend. Our service was excellent also.“

“wonderful local Spot pleasant staff Awesome Food“

“We’ve been a Big fan of Big Joes for over 10 years. Often the 1st place I choose when arriving in Florida; however, this last visit was just not the same. The little lady who was formerly the “waitress” was lovely, polite and efficient. I always left her seperate tips. This new woman is RUDE…and when I said so, she came to our table and loudly challenged me for “cussing her out”. I said you were RUDE and she was! Perhaps were she to do her job properly and State the NUMBER (as they’re given out when orders are placed), there would have been No problem). She Failed to do that, then felt a need to lecture US about it. There were 2 seperate numbers and parties @ our table..,we ALL witnessed her inappropriate behavior.
I am very sorry to say Big Joes may have just lost 3 excellent customers.
I will say TY to the guy who takes the orders for coming over and for himself delivering our food as I requested She not touch it.

I’ve edited my review and increased the ⭐️ rating ..due to…
1) The Owner’s response …see below
2) We recently returned..and Big Joe came right to our table and apologized..means a LOT, TY!
3) Same waitress, very polite and solicitous of us so thank you.
Reviews are valuable, and often do result in improvements.“

“Exceptional Green Curry. Blonde Waitress was a very positive person who complimented the good vibe of the restaurant.“

“My new favorite dinner at Baker's Table! Terriaki glazed Salmon. It's the most delicious dinner salad I've had in a long time. The oyster appetizers are always wonderful - no matter which of the 3 treatments you order. Can't wait to go back!“

“Everything is awesome! Their services are the best. I would 100% recommend Blackbeard's Inn.“

“If you’re craving a true taste of Jersey, this spot nails it. The pizza has that perfect thin-yet-chewy crust with just the right char—foldable, flavorful, and fired up just like back home. But let’s talk about the garlic knots—absolutely unreal. Pillowy soft inside, crispy golden outside, and absolutely drenched in buttery garlic goodness. I could eat a dozen and call it a day. The chicken parm is hands down one of the best I’ve had outside the Tri-State. Juicy, breaded just right, smothered in sauce and cheese without going soggy. It’s the kind of meal that makes you go quiet after the first bite. And don’t skip the cannoli—crispy shell, creamy ricotta filling, and just the right touch of sweetness. It’s the perfect finish to a carb-lover’s dream. This place is a whole vibe—classic, comforting, and straight-up delicious.“

“Fajitas were good portion and tasty. I didn't care for the salsa. Guacamole was a little too chunky for my liking with big chunks of tomatoes. Bread pudding was pretty good and large portion.“

“An absolute Gem! We’ve been making this a regular stop every time we are in the New Smyrna beach area. Great food and excellent service each and every visit. The views are unmatched!“

“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.“

“Yesssss tore those wings up they were delicious“

“First time there and patty melt was awesome. Our waitress (Teresa) was awesome with the 14 of us. She has her act together.“

“Always enjoy my meals whenever I go…..“

“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“

“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! 🥳💜“

“Amazing food, and great customer service.“

“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.“

“We come several times per year when visiting my folks who live in Ormond. The food is good, staff is fantastic, and the beer selection is second to none in the area. The only thing I'd like to see is glasses as opposed to plastic cups for your fantastic beer. Looking forward to our next visit.“

“We come down in November and December and Wake Up Cafe' is our first stop. The food is delicious, and very fresh. The business is run very well and we have ate there for years. Do not miss this restaurant- it is wonderful!“

“We stopped and ate here. The food was delicious and very tasty. Prices were very inexpensive.“

“Yesterday, we had the best lunch at Cafe Verde. Having recently switched to a vegetarian diet, we were looking for a place that offered delicious food within our dietary restrictions. Let me just say, we are ashamed we hadn’t come here sooner. We dined outside under a shaded gazebo and even enjoyed a brief rainstorm. Our server was very nice and attentive. We ordered our drinks and food, and were astonished at how large the portions were. I opted for the Mediterranean Salad, and my husband ordered the Tofu 'Poke' Salad with a side of rice to make it a bowl. Let me tell you, we were both thrilled with the presentation, and the food was incredibly fresh and delicious! There were lots of beautiful plants surrounding the property which I absolutely loved! We will definitely return for another meal. We highly recommend this place for a date, or a casual lunch or dinner.“

“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!“

“the food was amazing very family friendly and all our food was delicous highly recommended must try spot and please order the Horchata“

“One of the best breakfast we have found. It was worth the drive from Ormond Beach. And, they have scrapple, for you scrapple lovers. The portions are generous. Staff was very pleasant and eager to please. Prices are very reasonable. We definitely have our go to place for breakfast, and will try their lunch menu.“

“We were in Daytona Beach for vacation and staying at the Wndym Ocean Walk Resort. Starlite Diner was within walking distance so we decided to try it. Best food ever! we ate there 3 or 4 times during the week! Never a bad meal! Excellent service too! All the staff were attentive and food was served timely. 100% recommend!“

“Garrett was fabulous. Kept our table clean, excellent service. To the owners... Where's the hush puppies?!?! Seriously no hush puppies at crabby Joe's“

“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!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The food here is amazing!“

“Great good on Easter Sunday. Problem:,pieces of paper on the floor (at least 5 and one larger crumpled up piece) and none of the waitresses, or the help, would stop to pick them up. Also my Cabernet had so much sediment in the bottom it left a huge skid mark up the side of the glass. Seems like a change in managers or increased training.“

“Food and drinks were awesome“

“Great service & food! Great location too!“

“We're from Buffalo, NY, been all over the US to live. NEVER HAD A BETTER PIZZA! This place is AWESOME! We will not get pizza ANYWHERE else! ??“

“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.“

“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!“

“Great breakfast rite buy the beach“
