We love Orlando, but we’re making the short drive to Daytona this week to share some of our favorite restaurants and bars to hit up on your next day trip.
So plan that day trip because we’ve got your lunch and dinner plans! Here are the best restaurants in Daytona!
Channel your inner conch by visiting Sloppy Joe’s right in the heart of Daytona. Order a round of the Key West classic conch fritters for the table while you sip on tropical concoctions like the 7 Day Vacation! There’s always music playing and lots of good energy in here. So party like you’re on Duval Street!
Looking for something a little upscale? Dine at Hyde Park Prime Steakhouse!
This classic steakhouse has all your fave chops and cuts like filet mignon to a bone-in ribeye to some unique preparations like the Steak Earnhardt: a filet with bordelaise topped with asparagus, lobster and bearnaise, and sliced mushrooms. Order some of their amazing sides for the table, and you’ve got the perfect celebration meal!
Take in the inter-coastal views at this waterfront restaurant. This spot highlights the freshest seafood local to the Daytona area. Snack on grouper fingers and sip on a mai tai as you enjoy that ocean breeze. There are tons of delicious entree options here, from seafood classics to delicious sandwiches to amazing sides. And don’t forget to save room for dessert, especially their “deck-a-dent” key lime pie.
Tired of shrimp and seafood? Head over to Hog Heaven, where you’ll find BBQ for the entire family. This restaurant has been serving hungry guests for over 35 years and has just about anything you could want. Munch on fried mac and cheese or boneless wings before diving into their sandwich baskets, bbq combo dinners, heavenly dinners, and house specialties!
Step back in time inside this classic American diner. Here you can relax after a long day and enjoy some good comfort food.
Start your meal with the cheese sticks—because who doesn’t love fried cheese—before selecting your entree from their list of choices. We love the classic club, fried chicken dinner, and the country-fried steak. And end your meal the only way you can in such a neat restaurant: with a milkshake!
Dancing Avocado Kitchen or daK for short, is a great spot for herbivores and carnivores alike!
Enjoy a midday break at this lunch spot that’s serving up both tasty lunch classics and the spirit of Aloha! We definitely recommend trying the big spam sandwich, we know it sounds weird, but all together, it really works!
Hang out at this traditional beach restaurant after a long day of catching waves and soaking up rays. Hydrate with a frozen cocktail or a brew of your choice before refueling with some classic beach fare like peel and eat shrimp, fish tacos, and a crab cake sandwich! And you can’t leave without a slice of their signature key lime pie!
