50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants South Daytona

“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.“

“Well worth the drive. Amazing service and food.“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“Best place for authentic cuisine excellent spices put together“

“Stumbled upon this lovely cafe with the nicest owners! Seriously, make this a must stop for breakfast. Thanks guys for making our morning with a yummy breakfast and inspiring conversation.“

“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“

“Little hard to find BUT totally worth finding! We each got one of the ice cream sandwiches. Could have easily shared one between the 3 of us. The cookies were warm and delicious and the ice cream was amazing!“

“Went to uncle chickens for the second time. Chicken was delicious,moist and served hot to order. This will be our go to for chicken. Thanks for the great service.“

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

“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!

“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.“

“We stopped in yesterday for some lunch and I'm so glad we chose this spot! The food was incredible and hit the spot! The location is superb! They even gave my doggo a pup-cup! We will definitely be back!“

“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??“

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

“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 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.“

“100% recommend Island Roasters ✨ The best espresso around! Their iced lattes are served with coffee ice cubes, so you never have to worry about that watered-down taste—just pure, delicious coffee till the last sip! 🤍“

“Such a great place. Large outdoors and beautiful indoor seating. Nice wine and beer list. Some good looking appetizers. My only regret is that it took me too long to discover it. Yacht Rock night was so fun.“

“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!“

“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! 🥳💜“

“Feels like home in a comfortable way!“

“My wife and I had an early dinner at Boondocks in Port Orange. The drinks and food were great. The only thing better was the service. If a server passed your table, with a smile they asked how everything was and did you need anything. Best staff attitude I have seen in a long time. Cudos to the Staff and mgt. Of Boondocks Port Orange. A must go.“
