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!

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.

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

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.

Roy Buxbaum First time at a Cheddars scratch kitchen. Darian our server was amazing. Friendly, smiling, great suggestions, attentive and kind to my daughter. 10 out of 10. Give her a raise! Food was good too. Delicious and satiating. Large portions at a great price. Didn’t feel rushed and thoroughly enjoyed our experience here. If we lived closer, we’d be here all the time.

Edmundo Ruiz First time here. Totally impressed with the atmosphere and plenty of big screens and TV in the booth seating! We were able to watch the football game of our choice right at our booth! The menu is reasonable with very selective choices. I opted for the Philly cheesesteak and the home chips. Excellent menu choice. My partner had the burger and fries. Super good choice. This is definitely a must stop if youre in the Daytona Beach area. Im definitely trying the oysters next time.

HMCM Jose L. Alonso First time here and I’m not even a Ford guy but this place didn’t miss! Great atmosphere, good food, and phenomenal service. We were seated immediately and were fortunate to get Kylie as our server. Even after moving tables we requested to keep her as our server. She was kind, energetic, and attentive beyond expectations! She made our visit amazing and we look forward to coming back! You have a good thing going here Luis! Cheers.

Felicia Rawls Had the Prime rib with grilled shrimp. Steak cooked to perfection. Taste was incredibly delicious. My sister had Bourbon salmon. She loved it. Atmosphere is very unique with all kinds of Forrest Gump decor. Staff very professional, kind and tentative to our needs. Highly recommend this Bubba Gump shrimp location.

Tarrin Schriedel Thank you Longhorn Steakhouse for such a great experience! From the management to our server JJ to the staff for such beautiful teamwork and of course everyone in the kitchen for such talent and love!!!!!

Lisa D Everyone in my party enjoyed their food. I got the chicken that came with green beans and I added broccoli. The others on my table ordered steak and pork chops. I was very satisfied with my food. We ate dinner making this one of our spots to return to whenever we are in town. I really like the sophisticated ambiance. Definitely more classy than your typical chain restaurant. They do have an area that is more casual and relaxed with both seating. I came for the more fine dining experience. It was very clean. All the staff were very pleasant. And they did have a room for private parties.

Jan Maps Great place to watch games! Perfect location if youre waiting to pick someone up at the airport. We sat at the bar and had the Chicken Ceasar Wrap, the French Dip and the Wally wings/ribs combo. I have to say, everything tasted great. The ribs were very meaty and wally style was delicious.
