50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants South Daytona

“The Chive Turkey is amazing! I've had about 12 different sandwiches and they were all incredible. Top notch cookies also.“

“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.“

“I’ve been to many places in Daytona, but so far, this one is by far my favorite. The service was excellent, the food was amazing, and the portions were huge (I even took the leftovers home and had enough for both lunch and dinner the next day). The overall vibe was great as well.

“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!“

“Wonderful people working. Great treats. Fire shots are fire 🔥“

“Love this local ice cream parlor - they serve the best milkshakes around! Cute decor, indoor and outdoor seating, and very friendly staff.“

“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“

“I love this place!
I’ve been going to this iconic vintage Dairy Queen outlet for the last 20 years. It is THE Dairy Queen for the New Smyrna Beach area, and if you’re driving through and need something, sweet or salty, you won’t regret stopping by.
A number of years ago, they purchased the property next-door and created more shaded parking areas, so there’s usually plenty of spaces available. They also added more outdoor seating, all nicely shaded with huge umbrellas.
If you go on a Wednesday, like I did this week, don’t be surprised if there’s a short wait in the line, because on Wednesdays they have their “$1.99 Banana Split Special”, and they are popular! (Insider tip: Ask for the sprinkled nuts as an extra topping.)
They have other specials every day of the week, see the list below.
To top it all off, their servers are smiling, happy, friendly people, who will make you feel like you just stepped back in time to the 1970s, when life was simple and wonderful, and when people interacted with EACH OTHER, instead of with a metal & glass contraption that you had glued to your hand. Aahh yes, this place will take you back. Enjoy your visit!

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

“Always a great time. Best bartenders and great music.“

“It's just a great place with great people and good drinks.“

“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 went with a group on Wednesday. I choose the Wrong lunch. it was the millionaires Grill cheese. on thick bread with thin layer of crab & lobster which was fishy. it was Not fresh or sweet. Yup, should have returned it! Everyone else's sandwiches were full & delicious looking. Hope they remove this Mill Grill cheese as it's a joke & where did they come up with that name??“

“the atmosphere is relaxing and reminds me of a Key West vibe. the food is excellent. I had the Filet with Shrimp and my friends had the Bianca pizza and Wagyu Short ribs. Definitely would recommend this place ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“1st time here! Food was delicious! Service was great. Thanks to Jonathan for giving us a great table outside last night. I got the amazing steakhouse salad and hubby got the pot roast. Oh and how can you beat the $5 margaritas. We will be back.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Some of the best pho we’ve eaten, and we’ve eaten Pho all over the country. Will be visiting every time we are in town!“

“We recently got a couple Lobster Rolls for my husband's birthday and they were incredibly delicious! It was stuffed with meat and oh so flavorful! Thank you for making my babe's birthday lunch perfect.“

“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!“

“They have the best home cooked meals, and friendliest staff you could ever ask for“
