Wladimir Meskelis Delicious local owned restaurant! Food was very good and Barbara was very friendly! We had the chicken parmigiana and the crab and shrimp ravioli! Both very tasty!!!

Tracy Drabenstadt Johnnys Riverside is the Vibe You Need Seriously, what a beautiful location! We had such a great time at Johnnys Riverside recently and couldnt have asked for a better evening. We knew we had to sit outside, and the ambiance was just spot-on perfect. If you can time it right for sunset, definitely do it—the view over the river is absolutely incredible and makes the whole meal feel super relaxing and special. It’s the best dinner-with-a-view spot in town! The food was fantastic and totally matched the awesome setting. We kicked things off with the spinach dip, and it was killer—creamy, hot, and seasoned just right, And comes with both pita bread and tortilla chips. For the main event, we tried a few dishes. I seriously cant stop thinking about the curry chicken salad sandwich; it was loaded with flavor and put together perfectly. We also grabbed some boneless wings and a side of cheddar fries, which were perfect for sharing. Everything arrived fast, and our server was super attentive and friendly. Johnnys Riverside is absolutely nailing it with the combination of a gorgeous atmosphere and seriously delicious food. Whether youre planning a full dinner or just want to grab a drink and some apps off the GameDay menu on the patio, youre guaranteed a beautiful, fun experience. Do yourself a favor and go check out those sunset views!

Alexandra Velazquez Valle Personally, I don’t understand how there’s 1 stars reviews for this place, but I do have to say that as I’m aspiring to go to Italy one day, this restaurant and my experience here with my friends was WONDERFUL!!! Mind you if you read the other reviews about the pizza not being what they were expecting, im sorry, but this place doesn’t serve the typical American pizza, they just didn’t resisted the original and authentic ITALIAN PIZZA!!! Mind you my friend who didn’t like pizza at all because of her past experiences, does likes pizza now! But she will be only having it from this place! This is the most closer experience I got from Italy, and when I tell you that their pizza and gnocchis and lavender soda are good, THEY ARE ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUSS!! we left this place so happy! Nicole, our bartender was pretty nice to us!! Very kind and attentive, Mario and Vito were welcoming and got to tell us a little bit of how they make their food. So if you’re willing to try something very AUTHENTIC, THIS IS YOUR SIGN!!!! but if you’re used to think that chain pizza places are fire, then I invite you to come out of your shell and be open to try new foods. They make their ingredients from scratch, excellent service, we got to meet our chefs and the owner, I’ll definitely come back here!.

Lawanda Ewing Food presentation was a 10 Service was 20% tip worthy Atmosphere 10/10- I requested to sit outside. The weather was perfect. The small cafe table made it perfect to enjoy with the house wine.

Janet Marroquin Great atmosphere. Live music. Delicious food. The fish and chips was spot on. The Caribbean nachos were excellent with a unique flavor. The shrimp and steak kabobs are as good as they advertised. The cheesecake crème brulee was so yummy! Exceptional service.

Mia Fuller Always eat here. I keep going back. I get the C6 which is 2 blue crabs, shrimp, crawfish, sausage and corn. I get the 9 mix without lemon pepper it taste way better to ME! Ive never had a problem with the servers etc. Definitely a place to try when you come to town.

Carla Simmons Went walking on the beach and stopped in for a cocktail. We got the best service by the bartender (a sweet young woman) and were able to sit at the cute little bar facing the ocean! Stunning views and an amazing strawberry margarita!

Tom McDade Great restaurant and tiki bar on the beach. Food and service was excellent. They are very pet friendly also. As soon as we sat down they brought a bowl of fresh water and ice for our dog. Always appreciated! Thank you

Victor Cesari Uhm AMAZING. The empanadas were so good. Not greasy at all!! And i had a CHICHA drink. That was filling by itself. And then i ordered something that was delicious. It had plantains beans chicken and cheese. Check the pictures. They have a second floor, which you can look over the river. So good! Friendly staff, and it was my first time. I will be going back again to try other items because I am a foodie.

Melandi Murrell I am a new Florida transplant but when I tell you this is one of my fave new places to eat, I mean it! The potatoes are top tier and so are the staff, and the vibe! Great food, great people, and great music! My hubby and I love going here, it’s such a treat! The Ultimate Potato is our go to!

Maria Lundquist Ive wanted try it here, ive heard good things and its true, its delicious! Grilled fish with hand cut fries, so tasty!! They have daily meals too, you wont be disappointed!

Scott E. Always great food options and ICE cold beer! I usually get the cheeseburger and add Billionaire Bacon, which they used to have as a staple burger option years ago. The tacos, flatbreads, chicken quesadilla, and also chips & three dips are always good.

Paul This place is fantastic, food cooked with olive oil or butter, huge 4 egg omelette, thick bacon! Not cheap, but worth it! The food meets the expiration of the price Wish I took pictures of the food. We will be back

Sara Donahue Stopped by Daytona today to go see the sunrise, of course didnt expect it to be so foggy and rainy, so we stopped in to this diner near one of the hotels. At first I was hesitant seeing the prices ranged from $12-20 per item for breakfast alone but Im like eeh the reviews make it seem worth the price. I do not regret coming in here. The French toast combo was delicious, I got it with sausage and sunny side up eggs (I love my eggs runny.) My spouse got the chicken and waffle and he loved it. The staff was very nice and very patient with having such a packed diner in a small area. I would love to stop by again and try their desserts and diner menu. Food: 5/5 Noise level: 3/5 Staff: 5/5

The Bearded Mainer Photography Crabby’s is a new family favorite after our most recent visit. We visit Daytona a few times a year to relax and spend time with family who live here. We decided to have a big family dinner together at Crabby’s and we were so impressed! First of all, our server was so lovely. She was on top of our needs before we needed them, and was very friendly and fun to interact with. Our party of 7 seemed like a breeze to her, and you do not see that level of serving confidence often. I wish I could remember her name so proper credit could be given! The food was delicious. For appetizers, my kiddo and I personally shared the Crabby Rockefeller oysters and a dish of mussels. Soooo good!!! For dinner, I ordered the baked stuffed haddock and was very pleased. The atmosphere was great too! We would have loved to sit outside on the patio with the live mysic, since December Florida temps are summery to us Mainers, but our Florida-resident family members would not have agreed! The dining room was very nice and clean though. So impressed, and I can’t wait for our next trip to Daytona so we can share another meal here.
