Oceanside Beach Bar & Grill - Flagler Beach

Highlights & Features: You've probably guessed by now but one of my favorite things is Oceanfront dining and Oceanside has just that!  This place covers it all, great atmosphere, great location and great food.  Mr. Suncoast and I have been several times and have never been disappointed.  We think their best dishes are the gyro, pizza, steak sandwiches and hamburgers.  And, they are open for breakfast every day.  We haven't tried it yet but some reviewers rave about the flaming cheese.  We'll have to check it out.

•  Oceanfront dining
• Indoor and outdoor seating
• One indoor bar and another outdoor bar on the upper deck (awesome view)

Specials:  Happy hour from 4pm to 6pm

Serving:  Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner

Beach Front Grille - Flagler Beach

 
Highlights & Features:  

Oceanfront, oceanfront, oceanfront.  What more can I say? This place sits along Highway A1A and since it has it's own parking lot, there is usually an unobstructed view of the ocean (see picture to the right).  The food is pretty good too.  We have visited twice and have had the opportunity to try a soup of the day (vegetable barley), potato skins and a patty melt.  All were very goo, particularly the soup.  No canned stuff here.

Leanh's in South Daytona

Highlights & Features:  

The day of our visit we had business in Daytona so I took to TripAdvisor to find a place for dinner.  Leanh's was listed as the #1 restaurant (not just the #1 Chinese restaurant) so we decided to give it a try.  We arrived around 5:30pm or so on a Wednesday night and they were packed.  Even though they were very busy we were able to be seated right away.  The service was fast and friendly and the food was very good.  Mr. Suncoast commented that the wonton soup was the best he'd every had.  And that's saying something as every time we eat Chinese he orders wonton soup!  The service was fast and friendly.  If you are in Daytona this one is a must to try.

Specials: Catering available.


Serving: Lunch & Dinner *  Note: Closed on Sunday

JT's Seafood Shack

Highlights & Features:  JT's is a fabulous laid back place right on A1A near the Hammock.  They have indoor and outdoor seating and seem very family friendly.  There is an outdoor bar and a stage for live music.  I'm not a seafood eater but Mr. Suncoast tried the fried shrimp and was very happy.  We went on a Saturday night to see a local blues band and had a lot of fun.

Tortuga's Flagler Beach

Highlights & Features:  One of the best thing about Tortuga's is that it is very Oceanfront!  Because it is two stories, you can request a table upstairs and take in a fabulous and mostly unobstructed view of the ocean while you dine (or wine - check out the view in the picture below).  They also have several fire pits for those chilly evenings.  As for the food, we know from a
previous visit that the ribs and fries are good.  They also have an EXCELLENT burger.  It is juicy and flavorful. The most recent visit had us try the tomato basil soup which was also good.  However, the turkey club was very dry with not much flavor.  It left a bit to be desired.

• Indoor & Outdoor dining
• Three total bars - 2 outside (one upstairs and one downstairs) - 1 inside
• Onsite parking so you may not have to rely on beach parking
• Open Mic music on Wednesday evenings.  They say "lots of bands"
• Oceanfront, oceanfront, oceanfront

Specials:  They don't really advertise any specials.  There may be certain chef specials on a day-to-day basis.

Pagano's Pizzeria

Highlights & Features:  This is a delicious pizza place with some unique options you may not find anywhere else.  The dining room is clean, spacious, and unassuming.  Don't let the Elvis statue outside the front door scare you off.  It will make sense once you step inside to the walls adorned with movie posters and movie stars from today and yesteryear.  The proprietors are also obviously proud of their New Jersey connection.  Be sure to try the Cazoni (enough for two or three) or the Scarfoly.  These are uniquely delicious in-house concoctions.  Note that they also have gluten free options.

Specials:  Various dinner specials on Sundays and Wednesdays for $7.99.  Early bird specials every day from 2pm to 4pm.

Serving:  Lunch & Dinner

Location:  116 S. Nova Road * Ormond Beach, FL 32174

Hi Tulip Cafe

Highlights & Features:  This is a great spot near Flagler Beach serving breakfast and lunch each day.  My spouse had the eggs benedict and it was delicious.  My dish was good but it may be a bad idea to order things like sausage or grits shortly before closing time.

Specials:  Monday through Thursday from 6:30am to 10:30am $5.99 various breakfast specials including coffee and one free refill.  This is a really good deal.

Serving:  Breakfast and Lunch.  They close at 3:00pm
