“Food was delicious and beautifully prepared! Service was excellent. Best watermelon martini!Vegetarian options: Only one of us was vegetarian but she found many options and thoroughly enjoyed them.Dietary restrictions: Husband is gluten free and had many options without the dish being stripped of all taste!“
“One of the better diners in the area. Clean with that family feel. Busy but not packed to the point of being a pain. Which is a good thing. Lots of people going must mean good food at good prices. More food choices than most with large portions at a bit better pricing than most other diners. Enough tables and staff to get people seated at a reasonable time during the busier times. Wait staff is attentive and never left us wanting. Large parking lot with easy in and out. Looking for a diner? This place will not disappoint.“
“El Tequila is a little taste of Mexico. I highly recommend stopping in. They have delicious food, great service and an authentic Mexican feel. Fresh warm chips and salsa. The guac is chunky, not baby food mush. Good music, it’s a good time.Vegetarian options: Burritos, tacos, quesadillasParking: Large parking lot around the entire building“
“We had an amazing time. The atmosphere it’s very casual, directly on the water, great music, dogs are welcomed by such a sweet staff. Super fun drinks, water sports attached. You can see the Managers take great care of their team. This place is 5 stars all the way!!Parking: To sKid-friendliness: Kids love to feed the fish, have fun non alcoholic drinks and it’s so relaxed here. Anyone is like family.Wheelchair accessibility: Completely wheelchair accessible“
“This is an Irish restaurant and if that’s the food you’re looking for that’s what you’ll get. Outside of that there is few options. The fish tacos were really good but extremely messy. They also had an okay kids burger and Mac and cheese was on par with any other kids meal. The server was extremely nice just slow and might have been over worked. Plenty of parking since it’s in a strip mall. They are not dietary friendly. They tried very hard to accommodate and were very polite about but none of the staff was familiar with the ingredients in the food when no dairy was requested on one meal.“
“Establishment was clean and tidy, we waited a moment to order, the delicious and tantalizing aromas of seared meat made the wait to order worse. The hotdogs are ginormous, on toasty buns. Most excellent little place, prices reasonable.Kid-friendliness: Kids love hotdogs.“
“I took my tastebuds to Ocean Deck Restaurant And Beach Club. Ocean Deck is located in Daytona Beach, Florida. When I say the vibes at this restaurant were immaculate, fun, & vibrant I truly mean that! One of my favorite dishes to throw down is Alligator tail. Ocean Deck only serve Gator Bites right off their menu. I asked was it possible for them to make Gator Quesadillas. And they absolutely came out perfect!! They also served a Rasta sauce for dipping that was extremely delicious with a light spice/kick. I was very satisfied & impressed with my experience at Ocean Deck. To top it off the live band was jamming & really had the place goin!! Overall the service was great, the people were friendly, & the atmosphere was giving all the vibes!! Thank you all for tapping in to my food tasting journey & experience! We are now over the 500,000 views & only growing!! Peace Love & Blessings to you all. #Beamenology ™️“
“Our experience was great, and we would definitely visit again. Fresh, and very well prepared sea food. Service and wait staff was excellent. Only downside to our visits was the wait times for seating. The first time was nearly 2 hours, and second time was 45 minutes. However, they can and do text you as your seat time becomes available. Also, if you have young children, they have a small climbing gym area outside that the littles had fun on to pass the time. Most of the area to wait outside is under shade, which is a plus. You can also check out the catfish at the end of the dock, and feed seagulls to pass the time too.Kid-friendliness: There is a shaded climbing and slide jungle gym outside while waiting for seating.“

“The waiter was fantastic!! The food was delicious. The French onion soup was one of the best I ever had. I got the mahi stack, the fish was cooked and seasoned perfectly. The potato pancake was so yummy!! My mother had the chicken and she was very happy with it. My husband had the beef tips and pasta he also was very happy with it. Definitely a wonderful place to eat. I would make a reservation if you want to sit up in the tree top.“

“This serves absolutely delicious food. It’s well prepared, reasonably priced, and pretty authentic. They have a great deal for Brunch and the atmosphere is very comfortable and top tier. Honestly, it’s a 5 star experience for an affordable price. Definitely try it out if you like Portuguese food or European food on general. Definitely worth traveling to try!“
“The food was amazing. Service was excellent and attentive. The server reported that our food took longer than usual and adjusted our check. Even though we really didn't notice. Although we wanted to sit outside, we couldn't because of the wind and it being too cold for us. Still 5 for Atmosphere because the place was well themed was a great view.“

“Boy oh boy let me tell you what, this place is absolutely amazing! My two sons and I decided to have dinner at the Tanger location. We ordered the Philly and order of honey bbq wings and a lazy boy potato. Everything was spot on the food was phenomenal! when we first got there I had a lot of questions being the first time stepping foot into the establishment and Dominique was very willing to answer any question I had and was absolutely the sweetest lady I have met in a long time. Very clean and great music and great atmosphere! Keep up the good work guys we will definitely be back and recommend you to everyone.“
“A family run steamed seafood stand. You make your order and leave - “come back in 15 minutes”. Thoroughly enjoyed the shrimp with corn potatoes and two boiled eggs. Seasoned nicely. For a boy from Louisiana who travels with his seasoning I did add some spice. But food was hot, seasoned well and tasty. I will go again, next time I’m in Daytona. More than I could eat. All for $19.00. A great value too! Minus you have to take out. No eating on premises. So I went to the park and had a beer.“
“There are few places in this world that check all the boxes.The Spott doesn’t even know what boxes are as they are so far outside the box in every aspect of culinary excellence! From their creative cuisine, out of this world chef, amazing staff, and the dedication, loyalty and over the top service from the owners. The Spott in New Smyrna Beach FL with their constantly amazing food has won every kudos from me and this town!“
“We love the food at Blackbeard’s but had to wait for over an hour. The food did not disappoint. We had steak, scallops, shrimp, coconut shrimp, clam strips, and cinnamon rolls. So so good. Only disappointing things were table location which was by the kitchen and it was freezing. We’ve sat in main dining room and that was warm and welcoming.“

“5+ stars for service (Alexis or Alexa) was outstanding. Her timing was perfect. She was super knowledgeable as to what the kitchen could make, and she was so personable. Just really excellent server. We had the loaded chips and alligator ribs to start. Plate of chips was practically licked clean. Mixed review on the ribs. Bbq sauce on point but ribs a little chewy. Were they supposed to be rubbery texture? Tile fish franchaise excellent. The lemon beurre blanc it was finished with was phenomenal. Sous vide pork chop was ok. Everything on the plate was warm, not hot. Flounder (fish of the day) pan fried got a 2 thumbs up. Asked for tartar sauce (housemade) and brought the dish from a 4.5 to 5. Chicken parm got 2.5 rating. Quinoa dish got a 1 rating. The sweet potatoes were undercooked. Pineapple upside down cake delightful. Berry crumble ok but needs more whipped cream. Worms in dirt got 3-4 rating. Overall, we agreed we would come back for the fresh catch or fish franchaise and would ask for Alexis again when in the area. Sorry didnt take any pictures.“
“This was our first visit to 31 Supper Club and hopefully we will be back. An interesting themed restaurant,supposedly from the end of the Prohibition era but felt more like late 40’s-50’s with Frank Sinatra playing in the background.Nonetheless a great atmosphere and appealing decor. We were celebrating our 30th anniversary and our server,Jack, was exceptionally accommodating. The drinks my wife ordered were on point and all of the food was terrific. They also have live entertainment on specific nights something we will go back to enjoy. Great place for cocktails and food. A special thanks to the chef! Steve“
“Had ‘the manatee’ sandwich today for lunch and it was delicious! Everything tasted so fresh and the bread was so good. Would definitely recommend this place. Sandwich was made to order and the staff were all very friendly. Cute little spot.“
“Ordered for a family of 4...the server was very helpful and made sure to get our large order right. While waiting (didn't take long at all for the amout we ordered) the cooks was laughing and signing while they worked. Loved it! One was even talking about my ruben with pepper jack cheese and how he was gonna have to try it. Great attitudes and the food was amazing. We will return on our next getaway!!!“
“Macker was the last place we ate at on our vacation to Daytona Beach. The blue crab was amazing and the staff went above and beyond! Everything was amazing. I will definitely be back and plan to go more than once during our vacation! Skip the chains like Bubba and Joe's....this place delivers. 5 stars!!!“

“First time at restaurant. The food was good. Don’t care for how the menu is where you have to use your phone to scan the menu. Everyone may not have that luxury. Otherwise the service was great. Our server J the young lady was awesome. I will be going back“
“Loved our waiter found out she’s from Cincinnati she just moved here I’m from NKY and just visiting down here! She was absolutely very friendly and kind! The food was absolutely amazing. The menu was a little confusing but she knew how to answer them. She’s doing great for his second day here!“
“I've been going to Rice Bistro since they first opened. The food is very good and priced reasonably but the service that Alice provides is top-notch. I highly recommend you try Rice Bistro and I'm sure you will agree with my review.“
“Valet your car for parking it’s worth itParking: Valet your car if you Come for dinner. ParkingCan be limited for dinner options. THE FOOD IS THAT GOOD. :) :)Kid-friendliness: Lots of kid friendly food options.Wheelchair accessibility: Yes all single level with ramps and spacing between tables.“
“Food was really good. A lot of good choices. Service needs some better training. Example server came and left several times and never pick up used glasses or dishes. We definitely will go back and hope the services is better. Live band was awesome Soul Fire.“
“Crabby's is my "breakfast at the beach" spot when I come over to New Smyrna. Perfectly situated across from the beach and parking. Menu selections are great and the food is delicious. Staff is courteous and wonderful.??? for Crabby's!“
“Malibu Beach Grill has a pleasant environment outdoor seating, available next to the lake and playground. Their food and service are both reliably good, above average for this area. Prices are a bit steeper than some other options, but the food is just so worth it! The plates usually come with a side of vegetables, and some sort of a starch, or perhaps a second vegetable, which is nice to have,if you're trying to eat healthily. I usually get the citrus scallops, but I've never been let down no matter what I choose. Their desserts are usually equally good and worth the extra spend.“
“Some of the best food you will ever eat. Cheaper than your local Red lobster but as far as food wise you cannot even put them in the same hemispheres! Service was great I believe her name was Melanie or Malerie but I’m horrible with names, corn nuggets were the best I have ever had. I will come back every time I visit Daytona!“
“We walked in with 11 people on Easter Sunday for dinner. The hostess was very friendly and was ready to seat us earlier than expected. During our short wait, we ordered drinks from the bar. The bartender was fast and also really nice. Strawberry margaritas and mojitos were refreshing and not too sweet.The seasonings, fair pricing, and service is what made dinner absolutely perfect. We will definitely be back. Hopefully you’re early enough to also enjoy the peel’n eat shrimp special. Highly recommend. Don’t pass this one up.Kid-friendliness: Tons of options between the sides and the kids menu.“
“I have to say something negative about the chairs and tables. They are all made out of metal and the staff do not know how to lift them off of the ground. So several times, we could not even think straight because of the nose that they made rearranging tables and chairs... Deafening. You definitely cannot have a conversation if they are rearranging anything.Food great, drinks great, atmosphere and location great. Ethan was our server and he was always available and had all the answers and suggestions we needed.This is definitely one of the better waterfront eateries in the area.“
“The food was amazing, the hostess was so sweet and made sure to get us an amazing table right by the ocean front as we didn’t mind waiting at the bar with the sweetest bartender ever! The drinks were so good and strong, the vibe was perfect for Sunday lunch, we could spend as little or as much time as we’d like.. it was just over all a great experience and I will definitely be back!“

“Was searching for a local place to eat and came across this great restaurant. Parking is tight but the food made it worth the parking effort. Food was excellent, my wife had a blackened fish sandwich that was excellent. The burgers are phenomenal and the overall atmosphere is very friendly.“
“What a great experience! I went there with my brother and sister in law and we sat outside next to the water. The food was great and Carly was exceptional. Bobby, the manager, helped my brother get back to the car in a wheelchair and was so respectful. Great staff, great food and great views. We’ll be back!“
“First time eating here, but all the food seemed really good. Expensive for the dishes served, but it’s also seafood…so it’s more or less expected. Some more finesse on the dishes would have been nice, but I go out for good food, not fantastic presentation. That’s just a bonus. So we will definitely go back. (Ate outside, so no idea what it looked like or was like inside.)“
“Absolutely love this restaurant! I highly recommend the Hushpuppies, Bacon Wrapped Plantains, and chicken wing appetizers. For entrees, the Tuna tacos, Guava Glazed Ribs and Shrimp are delicious. The cocktails are nice and they have a great beer selection. Perfect spot for before and after the beach!!“
“We attended the “Prisoner of Love” wine pairing dinner. Evan, Bree and the whole staff took great care of us! All 4 courses were outstanding - we are still trying to decide which one was the “Star of the show …” We will be back, soon! (And REALLY hoping the spinach salad with crispy artichokes and goat cheese makes it to the regular menu!)“
“We wanted to try this place especially because it has a lot of vegan choices and both my daughters are vegan. I have to say out of all the places I’ve been. This is one of my favorites and I’ll definitely be going back. It’s a nice little small, quaint place on Beach Street in Daytona Beach. The atmosphere was good and the service is excellent. Not to mention how the food was precisely made to order and to please the pallet.Vegetarian options: There are a lot of VG options, and they were more than happy to customize what you like.“
“Absolutely love this place! It’s a must try for those you haven’t yet! The customer service is fast & great, the food is amazing and it’s such a peaceful setting. I cannot wait for their grand opening and hopefully their lobster bisque is still on the menu!“
“I made reservations for my 2 adult men to celebrate their birthdays together and this is what my oldest has to say:The food was absolutely outstanding; we got the bone-in filet with a cabernet-shallot sauce and a side of millionaire potatoes. The steak was perfectly cooked, and everything was presented with care. The smoked old-fashioned literally came in its own smoke-filled glass case! Looking at the ocean and the slowly dimming sky while having our meal was an amazing atmosphere for a nice dinner. My only complaint was with the timeliness of service. There were multiple occasions during our meal where we would be waiting on service for upwards of 10 minutes, which was especially awkward when we had finished our meals and sat with empty plates. You would think that having a team of two service your table would prevent this. Despite this minor complaint, both of our servers were incredibly friendly and accommodating to our meal alterations and requests.“
“Last night in Ormond Beavh and we saw this place always busy. We got there and had our names in for 45 min to get a table. Cesar salad, filet, orange cake all very good, service great, highly recommend. We're from Nebraska so we know good steak. We were happy and had full stomach's“
“We loved this place and the live music it has indoors and outdoors. Totally recommend it!!!!!!!Parking: It has only one side to park on but still ?Kid-friendliness: It has live music with no cursing and it is very peaceful!!!!!!Wheelchair accessibility: It has a little ramp for the disabled people who have a wheelchair or something else.“
“My goodness I almost wouldn't even care about the taste of the food....the view and atmosphere is to die for, drinks were brought out perfectly timed and the food did not dissapoint....other then the no seeums by the section outside near the mangroves i cant complain, so dose up on some skin so soft and head over for a bevy or 2 and some food....the view the view and the view are worth it ?“
“Drove by this place on our way to the lighthouse and decided to come back and give it a try. We were pleasantly surprised at the amazing service we received. We were seated immediately and tended to right away. Food and drinks were wonderful and delicious. Everyone was very nice and friendly. Couldn’t recommend this place more.“
“The host (Davis, I think) was horrible. He refused to take names, hand out pagers, or greet customers. Tables were full of garbage. Finally, the manager came out and seated everyone, giving away free appetizers. Everything was just fine after that.“
“Jonesha AKA Nesha was our waitress. She was attentive, had humor and helped us navigate through the menu since it was our 1st time. Everything was amazing food wise. Seasoned like someone's grandpappy was cookin in the back Lol. The only "complaint" was there was a miscommunication with the wing order so it came out way later than the rest of ours but they made it right. Definitely recommend any time“
“A definite favorite of mine since they opened .Good food that is consistent in always delivering good food and the staff has always been friendly although at times overwhelmed.Parking: Plenty in the lot in frontWheelchair accessibility: Total access“
“We love Red Lobster, but didn't live near one till I recently moved to the area. We had the best experience at the Daytona Beach Shores location. Our family had the pleasure of having Michelle as our server. It was busy in the restaurant, but she took it in stride and made sure we didn't have to ask for a thing, she was right there with any thing we could possibly need. I had the endless shrimp, my wife had surf and turf as did our son. Is was all amazing! Needless to say we will be back often. If your in the area you can't go wrong eating here.“
“Where to begin?It's a small establishment to be sure, but that only adds to the atmosphere. A bigger venue would only feel less inviting. As it is, the restaurant is clean and well maintained. The bathroom was spotless.The wait staff is attentive and friendly without feeling cloying or pushy. They never made us feel like they were trying to clear a table for the next guests.If that weren't enough, the food is incredible. The crepe lasagna is now one of the top three meals I've ever had at a restaurant in my life. It was tender and flavorful without being soupy or turning into mush, as so many lasagnas do. I will point out that our food took a while, however in this case that's not a downside.This restaurant is the kind of place you go for a proper multi course dinner, not an eatery that tries to serve as many people as possible, as quickly as possible. It never felt as though we were waiting our food, it felt as if they were waiting for us to be ready for the next course.It is overall, friendly, welcoming, and serves absolutely outstanding food.On the five-star Google scale, this place is a 10 out of 10. Absolutely outstanding job and I thank you for the experience.“
“Everything was very traditional here - service was excellent - inside is definitely a gold mine from what looks like on outside at night - definitely suggest cooking the meat in front of ya on grill. Ask for extra side dishes - pork shoulder was extremely tender and marinated well. I have been in Korea so I would say definitely authentic cooking compared to most.“
