What diners say — our read

An average is a poor summary when the underlying reviews look like this. Reviewers who mention the staff rate this place 4.2 on average — it is working in the restaurant’s favour.

More reviewers landed on 5 stars than any other score — 16 of 19. Behind those, whether it is worth the money is raised in 16% of reviews (5.0 average). 16 of 19 rated reviews are four stars or higher; 3 are two or lower.

On the inspection side the picture is cleaner: DBPR graded this kitchen an A (91/100), with 1 high-priority and 1 basic violations. Whatever the reviews argue about, sanitation is not the weak point. That result dates from May 11, 2026. The trend across inspections is improvement. That puts it ahead of 55% of graded kitchens in Volusia County. What the inspector actually wrote up: floors, walls, ceilings clean & maintained.

With both signals pointing the same way, there is little to argue about on this listing. The underlying reviews are reproduced in full underneath.

    BEST WINGS we’ve had. We drive over 70 miles just for the honey wings. They are just the right amount of crispy, sweet and spicy that keep you grabbing for another one. Buy a bunch and don’t share!!! IFKYK

    I stumbled upon this place while in town and I was looking for food wings. Bethune Grill did not disappoint. It’s counter service and the seating area is clean and it’s nice and cool inside to stay out of the heat. The wings were crispy, hot and delicious. The lemonade was sweet. 10/10 I’d come back again if I were in the area. Fast, friendly and delicious. The cute little chicken light was also a fav!

    My son attended BCU so we decided to visit Bethune grill for a couple reasons we are from O town and Orlando Storm had a playoff game in Daytona. My friend raved about the best wings around so we wanted to support! We drove 2 different cars My wife and daughters drove by first and said we'll pass no specific reason. Me and the guys still wanted wings so we pulled up! Your employee was peeing by the dumpster near the parking garage then when into dumpster area I couldn't believe he was a employee I thought he was a transient perhaps. We walk into resteraunt and I see him go into employee entrance. I ask my son n law and daughters fiancée did his shirt say "bethune grill?" They said yes. I just shook my head and told them im sorry lets go! Please do better ...

    THESEEE WERE THE BEST WINGS IVE EVER HAD IN MY LIFE AND I LOVE WINGS

  • May 14, 2026

    Food should be cooked to order ... I ordered quite a few wings and fries and both we cold. And it wasn't busy at the time and my order was ready way to quick to be prepared fresh. The size of the wings are very small. The sauce is good like always. I wasn't super thrilled this visit. I travel quite a ways to get there.
