“First time visiting - I’ve always heard great reviews My Mom eats organic so we went to check it out for family dinner Beautiful dining room as well as outside seating / I believe they have an event space as well - tucked in venue off US 1 - you’d never know it’s back there We started with lobster bisque - flavorful and tasty Had steaks as entrees - cooked as requested - seasoned well with mash & veg Hubby had sea bass - fresh and flaky with rice & veg This restaurant is a “special occasion “ type place for us - but worth its reputation“

“Excellent; delicious food!“

“Kody, tending bar, had moms pot roast, Kody is a wonderful cook bartender and grape crusher foe wine, but his feet stink and he is missing a toe.“

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

“My family and I spent my 42nd birthday here, and we had an amazing experience!

The food was amazing, our waitress was wonderful, and the entire staff was fantastic! Reservations are optional, but I personally recommend making one. The scenery is superb! We got a table on the top deck. This should go without saying: It was windy up there. But the pros definitely outweigh the cons! I would definitely recommend this place!

One little piece of advice, though... if you’re thinking about trying the fish tacos 🌮, DON’T! 😂😂 Lol! Just trust me on this one!“

“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.“

“20/10! The staff was friendly and the food was great. B1G1 crab legs for a boil were delicious. The sauce was great, we got medium heat and it wasn't too hot or too mild. Sonya was the lady who helped us and she was absolutely a gem. Food was ready quick. I will be back!“

“Had a meeting there today. Food, service, and atmosphere were perfect. Will make this on a regular basis.“

“Seafood is great and awesome prices.“

“Nostalgia. I like to go when I'm missing home.“

“Fabulous food. Wanted something local while visiting the beach. Great atmosphere and the food was great. Good kids menu. My kiddo is a picky eater and loved her chicken tenders. Would stop by again.“

“We are frequent flyers of Crabby's. The food is consistently good, but what makes this place special (aside from the great ocean view) is the service. We had a party of (12) tonight and Liz was our server. She made our dining experience exceptional- it felt like we were family sitting at her home dinner table. She has been out server several times and is always wonderful.

We love Crabby's and will continue to visit and bring our friends and family there as well. Liz is just the best ❤️“

“Farm Social is the freshest restaurant concept around. The salad bar is easily the best salad bar value in town. I can load up a small plate, add chicken, and have a healthy lunch for about $10. You can't get a fast-food combo for that!

The smash burgers are awesome, and whether you order one or not, get the fries! Bright, cool space, friendly staff, and a lot of interesting design details. Lots to like here.

The menu can be a little confusing for a newcomer, and as of my last visit, the wine selection and prices weren’t listed.“

“Becka took great care of us and food was great!!“

“Rih, is the best server i’ve ever had. She catered to not only us but our child as well. Even cleaned his bottle he dropped. You don’t get above and beyond service like that anymore. She made the experience so personal and so great. We’ve been coming here for years and she is by far the best addition we have ever experienced here. AMAZING server. Fast, smart, and sweet!“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

“I have patronized this location for the better of 5 years or more and overall I have had pleasant experiences and enjoyed the food. Naturally, there were times when mistakes did occur and the owner/manager always offered to correct; however, the manager/owner's habitual excuse making as a pass for incompetence (customer service) is rather insufferable!!! I was taught that you tell the establishment rather than smear but clearly Pat does NOT appreciate my efforts to give him the opportunity to hear my complaints without making me feel as if I am unreasonable to expect that my order is correct with all the accompanied condiments and not a waste of my time to have to wait longer to correct and/or forced to return to the business!“

“Food and drinks were awesome“

“Brooke was fantastic, fun environment. hugh portions. great night“

“What a lovely Bistro! There was hardly anyone there. It was so quiet and relaxing. Great views of the ocean. The shrimp tacos were outstanding!!! I really liked their homemade potato chips too. The service was impeccable. I'll have to go back again. ?“

“Friendly people and consistently good food each time we visited. Highly recommend!“

“I miss it! Hope it comes back soon.“

“The most inviting staff, such fresh seafood !! KJ is the best bartender ask for her, and get your happy hour drink. Go for the ribeye special also. Our favorite local place.“

“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.“

“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.“

“One of a kind bar!!! Great bra tenders and good drinks! The atmosphere with the music and the ocean 🌊 breeze makes the whole experience just amazing! I will definitely be visiting again soon and also try the food on the top deck! 😊“

“Food was amazing and great service“

“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!“

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

“We were out for a walk and stumbled upon this gem! It’s very clean, the food was hot fresh and tasty and the service was great. Would highly recommend and we will be back !“

“Never AGAIN. I changed my order. GUESS what did not happen....... WILL never come back“

“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 had the BBQ ribs and my friend had the Thai ribs today. She liked hers and mine were DELICIOUS! They were meaty, juicy, and the sauce was perfect! Will definitely have them again... soon!“

“The food & prices were excellent but what I loved most of all is their staffs honesty. I went while on vacation and left a package with all my iPhone, iwatch and AirPods. 3 was later I called & they had them. The general manager and manager mailed it to me. Of course I paid them but, who does this nowadays? Thank you for being amazing, can’t wait to visit again. You are officially m favorite place in Daytona.“

“Very good fish, wide variety of choices. Nice people, family owned.“

“Budget Tip: If you want the experience without the $200 price tag, their Happy Hour (usually until 5:30 PM or 6:00 PM) offers $10 cocktails and smaller "Spott Sliders" or "Hot Honey Shrimp" for $12–$16, which can bring a meal for two down to around $80–$100.“

“Best conch fritters ever! Fied shrimp are also great. Large butterfly style. Atmosphere is great watching the boats go by,especially on weekends and occasionally dolphin seen feeding.“

“We checked this place out our last night on Daytona I ordered the seafood lasagna and currently having left overs for breakfast. THE BEST“

“A MUST FOR THE BEST SEAFOOD BOIL OF YOUR LIFE!!! I am still dreaming of how amazing their seafood boil was. My husband and I were honeymooning in Daytona Beach and were craving some amazing fresh seafood. We're so glad we picked this place. Great drinks, cozy atmosphere but the food is where it's at. We shared a two person boil and it was more than enough food. Definitely recommend the mix of all sauces and mild seasoning! Delicious!!!“

“Delicious foods. Friendly owner and a variety of choices and authentic tastes.“

“My friend and I enjoyed eating at Sloppy Joe's. The food was good, and even though it was just the bartender and one waitress, they both made sure to take care of us in a timely manner! The atmosphere was super chill, and the view of the ocean was awesome! Definitely Coming back!“

“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!“
