    The food was DELICIOUS!! The waitress Shannon was so sweet and kept a smile on her face 🙂 she was doing it all on her own and did an amazing job doing it by herself. 💯💯 this place would be my go to place if I ever get the chance to come back to Daytona.

    Food was good. Something that you expect from a good dinner. A bit expensive though. Staff were very nice. You just need to pay extra fee if paying with card. And, they ask you to tip 18,25 or 20%! No other choice. We had a weird experience too. Someone was complaining about their eggs, which looked brown-ish. No clue was conversation they had, but they paid and left, but the dinner called the police, caught them and gave them restraining order! And staff were laughing that they will call the police anytime someone complain about the food.

    This is a wonderful local spot! We stopped by twice in two days and it was fantastic. The staff is super generous and pleasant. Oh, and the food? Perfectly prepared! Do yourself a favor when you’re in town and dine here.

    Wow, this a unique, one of a kind, old school themed place. The staff was nice, greeted us right away, easy going, and made our day. For being a visitor from Wilmington, NC, next time I come back in the area I would most certainly have to stop by again

    What a wonderful experience. The waitress and environment were incredibly well followed by great food. We came here to brunch and we were left wanting to come back! My wife had her favorite eggs Benedict which they only serve on Weekends. Prices are also quite affordable

    Perfectly acceptable experience. The eggs tasted like eggs. The bread was bread. Sometimes the innately cruel nature of life does not reward us with excellence. I would like to be reincarnated as a novelty Betty Boop figurine peering upon the goings-on of this diner. Lovely hash browns though.

    Very homey and fun. I like all the trinkets and memorabilia they have. They really uphold the original dinner feel. It's hard to have a bad time and the food is great. Try a special. It's all good. Shannon is a total sweetheart, so be nice!

    The food quality was great. All real food. The shredded hash browns were buttery. Sometimes at other places they can be dry. Not here. The mushrooms were real too - not from a can. Good bacon too, cooked perfectly. The service was great and very friendly. We sat outside to enjoy the early spring weather. We got sat immediately. Great prices too!

    Food was great. Had the omelet, I can recommend it. And Marcello had the Open turkey sandwich. Super clean and very fast service.

    Daytona Diner is such a cute spot! Has that throwback 50's kind of feel for sure. The seats in the back offer a view of the Atlantic and the vibe is laid back. Meals are generous in portion size, cooked well (my hashbrowns were perfection), service was quick and friendly.

    We stopped in for breakfast. We were seated immediately. The waitress was friendly. The food was very good and reasonably priced. We enjoyed it very much and will go back next time we're in town.

    Let me say service was great, as soon as you walk in you feel welcomed. The service was amazing very attentive and the food was great out first time at this diner and hopefully we will be back when we come visit again.

    The food was amazing. The service was outstanding. Overall a great place to eat for breakfast. Definitely recommend.

    We had breakfast at this diner. The server was great cannot complain about that. The environment was also great, awesome decorations and fun things to look at. But listen… the food was bland at best, the biscuits were soggy, eggs had zero seasoning, did not even have salt and pepper, and these “home fries” were oil saturated red potato quarters with a shake of salt (if that). The French toast wasn’t terrible but also lacked flavor just kind of… blaaahhh. We tried it because of the good reviews but I’m honestly not sure how they got the high rating they have.

    Staff are welcoming and friendly, food is very good quality. Very tasty.

    First found this little gem 5 years ago. It is fabulous! Situated near to the beach. Immaculately clean and has a very good atmosphere. Staff all very helpful. Food was absolutely delicious and priced well. You must try the coconut cream pie which is made by the owner. We will definitely be back next year when we visit the States again. Cannot recommend enough.

    The cutest little diner ever! Everything was Betty Boop themed. The food was amazing, I got the Elvis sandwich and I can’t stop thinking about how yummy it was. They also had mimosas which I did not expect but was excited to see. Sweet servers too!

    Love the vibe here. They cooked my sausage EXACTLY the way I like it. And it's on the beach!

  • 1/5 lakeisha g. 10 months ago on Google
    Went here on vacation waitress was ok but the Owner HORRIBLE First they have nothing on the menu for NON PORK EATERS… NO Turkey NO Turkey burgers NO Turkey sausage nothing Turkey.. So I asked for a piece of chicken with my eggs & grits told me it would be a additional $6 I said okay… along with the menu item for the grits and eggs so $17 OK… Then told waitress please ask that they don’t over cook my chicken… Food came out chicken hard and dried she took it to owner she yelled over the restaurant and said we can’t bring anymore chicken out it will be the same I got up went to the desk told her she was very rude and unprofessional I told her that as a owner this service has been horrible and I didn’t want to yell across the restaurant where people was eating trying to speak to her… She claim the chicken is always dried I told her she needs more cooks or get another supplier for her chicken… She was unwilling to help or do anything didn’t even come over to the table to apologize for the chicken or the service advised her I was very unhappy …. Did she say well let me help do you want some hasbrown or some home fries or anything NO… considering I was over there with grits and eggs on my plate. Then later the owner came over and asked us did we want some cherry pie NO WE DONT…I even explained to her how customers should leave feeling .. she didn’t want to hear that as a business owner you should ALWAYS strive to make the experience a great one and see to that the customers is happy. You always want returning customers cause if they return then they will bring back friends and family. We travel all the time but we won’t be back… Not just my chicken but my whole family said it’s a NO for them… VERY UNPROFESSIONAL, VERY RUDE, FOOD A NO GO!!!

    Hostess violated ADA Service Dog Rules. Would only allow us to eat outside, said “dining room was full”. However the four people behind us ate inside. Food was good and our waitress was very nice.

  • 4/5 Trish P. 1 year ago on Google
    Very cute, clean diner with friendly staff, and water views. The eggs, omelette, bacon and hash browns were delicious but the home fries had a pretty oily flavor. Maybe the oil just needed to be changed. I was also hoping the biscuits would have more flavor but I’m glad we tried them. It’s nice to have something besides plain toast.

  • 3/5 Christy G. U. 10 months ago on Google
    The food was just okay, mostly frozen quality. We had breakfast, it was over priced for what we received. We left, wishing we had picked a place with a better breakfast. A credit card fee is on the bottom of the menu and also a $1.00 plate sharing fee, which I found to be odd. The servers were nice and friendly. The restaurant's decor is so fun and ultimately the reason we ate there.

    Very nice location and small dinner. Breakfast was very good.

  • 5/5 angel h. 1 year ago on Google
    Nostalgic environment with good home cooked food. Had the eggs, hash browns and bacon. All of it was cooked just like Mamma did. Loved the charm of this little restaurant.

    We were able to sit outside with our dog. The food was good and the location is nice.
