New American Restaurants near Port Orange, FL

“Excellent location and really tasty food. The service was good but slow. The thing I didnt understand was it was a Friday night, 6:30ish, and the outdoor patio was dead and quiet. Yes no music at all was being played. Its such a beautiful view and has a playground for parents to watch their kids while they relax. I know managers that would love to the outdoor capabilities this place has. Hire a guitarist, made a social media post about it, tell people to come down and celebrate on the patio. I mean come on guys, that patio is like having a Ferrari in the garage but you just drive your Cavalier. Use your assets!“

“Muy rico todo, excelente lugar!!!“

“10/200000 yesssss just left there amazing“

“It was our first time at Norwood’s and it was wonderful! Michele was fantastic! She gave us great redomendations for what to try and the food was phenomenal. Everything we tried was unique and tasted great!“

“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.“

“I had dinner here with my wife on vacation. The reception and service was super friendly and accommodating. We had the short rib and the filet, both were absolutely outstanding! Really a culinary highlight on our trip! If you want to eat well in the area, an absolute recommendation.“

“Great ambiance, very attentive staff, ridiculously gourmet food served surprisingly fast - Liam was amazing and patient with us, we came in 20 minutes before close as we hadn’t checked hours before arriving and we were not rushed at all. 10/10 will be back“

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

“This place is my favorite hidden gem. The food is amazing and prepared with high quality, fresh ingredients. The chef is very creative with flavor combinations and I'm never afraid to try something new here. The portions are generous. The staff is friendly and attentive. The times from seating to drinks to order taking to food delivery is on point. Never an extended wait. Great for lunch. Cozy atmosphere and scenic views over the water. We've been there four times and have never been disappointed. 10/10“

“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“

“My husband and I enjoyed dinner here this evening. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was gorgeous and our server was super friendly! I had the coconut curry with fish and shrimp! Best curry dish I have ever had!“

“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“

“Excellent food, great service, AUTHENTIC food! So happy to have discovered this restaurant! We will definitely be back!“

“Very nice facilities super helpful pleasant employees and a delicious Indiana Pork (Bigfoot) tenderloin. Brussel sprouts and coleslaw were on point too.“

“I had such a great time at this restaurant! I went with a group of 6 ladies for a girls night out. The ambiance was warm and inviting with a stunning backdrop on the water. The hostess and servers were so inviting and patient with everyone. The drinks and appetizers unique and delicious! This is a classy but very comfortable place to go for a relaxing evening. I highly recommend for couples looking for a romantic evening but also for groups of friends to go somewhere and unwind.“

“Wow what awesome service and delicious meals.. our server, Payton, knew the menu, drinks desserts, spoke so well and presented the meals in a truly professional manner...what an exceptional employee...thank you“

“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!“

“Tried this for my teens birthday with family.. Good buffet overall. Not too busy, pretty good selection. Unfortunately, there were few items that didn't have sugar, sauce, or were deep fried. Very nice dining staff, however the Sunday hostess was very unwelcoming and seemed resentful. Clean bathroom. Nice crowd, very family oriented a bit pricey but okay for once in a while. The soup selection was a bit limited. Happy overall, will return!“

“Not only is GameTime fun for the arcade games, etc. but their restaurant is phenomenal! Our server, named Sam 🍴 was attentive, personable and funny! His timing was perfect with the food, drinks, check-ins and even his jokes. We will definitely be returning.“

“Always fast service and good food“

“After striking out at three different restaurants in the area due to some seriously tragic service, we were just about ready to give up on humanity (and dinner). Then we landed at this spot—and Savannah completely turned our night around. From the second she greeted us, it was like a total 180. Friendly, attentive, and genuinely on it—she was the kind of server you wish you got every time you go out. She anticipated what we needed before we even had to ask, made us feel welcome and taken care of, and managed to do it all with a kind, upbeat attitude that didn't feel fake or forced. Honestly, she was such a breath of fresh air after the chaos we’d just experienced. Give this woman a raise, a trophy, and maybe a parade. She made our night—and that deserves to be shouted from the rooftops.“
