    Love the food and service is good!!

  • June 26, 2026

    The absolute best Smashburger I've ever had. Truffle fries on point and the fried pickles are great! Recommend 100%

  • June 25, 2026

    Incredible burgers and fries!

  • June 22, 2026

    We flew into Daytona late on Saturday night and didn't have time to eat at the airport connecting in ATL, so we were starving. This was on my list of Daytona brew tour and they were open until 11. Got there around 10 and the kitchen was closing, but the service here stepped up and took our order. This gesture made me a fan of this place and I want to thank the cook working the night of 6/13/26. We ordered a couple of beers and waited for our smashburgers and onion rings. Though the triple smashburger was delicious and everything I wanted, the onion rings are to die for. I'd go back just for those!

    We ate dinner here 2 times during our vacation and enjoyed it both times. The staff is great and makes great drinks. Burgers are REALLY GOOD as are the fries! Definitely check them out if you're in the area! We came back to Daytona for a vacation and had to stop in and get dinner and drinks. I feel like every time we go back it gets even better. Highly recommend stopping in trying them out!! Updated: 8/9/2025 Back again and it's still great. Definitely stop in and grab some food and a drink. Updated: 6/20/2026 Still a great place to eat in Daytona Beach. Don't forget to enjoy a few drinks while you're there.

    Not sure who placed all of these great reviews. We decided to try it out yesterday. When we parked, there was a sullen looking guy pacing out front smoking. We went inside - there was a table of 8-10 people that I believe had food. There were 2 women at the bar who had no drinks or food that we sat next to. No employee in sight. We sat there for a while and the smoker from outside came in and started cooking at the grill behind the bar. No hand washing. He walked within 4 feet of us, but never acknowledged us, indicated someone would be right with us, or even made eye contact. The two women walked out and we followed. We love a good dive bar, but this place was a dump.

    Our Server Tiffany was absolutely amazing!! She was sweet, fun and really cares about wonderful customer service!! 10/10 recommend her and this restaurant!! The food was PHENOMENAL!!

  • June 2, 2026

    Place doesn't look like much walking in, but the burgers, dogs and fries were fire

  • May 31, 2026

    Really good food big portions good for the money

  • May 30, 2026

    Got the Fat Elvis and it 100% did not disappoint! Fantastic burger, amazing atmosphere! Wish I lived closer to eat here more, but definitely a place to try out if you're in the area.

  • May 19, 2026

    Excellent Smash Burgers

  • May 16, 2026

    Don’t judge a book by its cover. This place is amazing! They have the best burgers!!!

  • May 12, 2026

    Food was good, but service was slow. Bathroom was disgusting. Rather than playing on Facebook the whole time I was there, maybe the employees should clean something. Keep in mind it was not busy at all (2 tables).

  • May 11, 2026

    We swung in on a lazy Saturday afternoon between lunch and dinner time after a day on the beach, craving a burger, fries, and a cold beer. We're very glad we made that choice. Burgers: 12/10 -seriously. I mean, DAMN! Fries: 8.5/10 (they're seriously good) I'm a "beer needs to be in a glass" kind of snob, so minor ding there... ditto on the paper basket thing. Do not let this stop you from eating here; that would be a huge mistake if you're looking for a seriously good burger. Kudos to the dude running the grill when we were there, our burgers were cooked absolutely perfect. I'm pretty sure our server was running the bar and serving the tables that were seated, so good on her. Yes, that's two patties with cheese and bacon served on 2 Krispy Kreme donuts. It's truly life altering. Don't judge me, order it and thank me. 😎

    Probably the best burger you'll have in your life at an excellent price and value. It's definitely a dive bar in there and can be a little run down but that's to be expected. If you can get past the "grunge" rock look of the place, you'll find a terrific burger with great service. 10/10 and highly recommend.

  • April 28, 2026

    So disappointed. I heard about this place. I went with my family. We arrived at 8:30pm because they were open until 10:00pm but the guy in the kitchen toldme he was not serving more food. That's how you operate a restaurant and tourism. 👎

  • April 27, 2026

    Was shut down by the health department recently. Cockroaches and rats everywhere. Avoid this place unless you like getting sick.

  • April 27, 2026

    Great bar with excellent fries and burgers . The beer menu needs a refresher and some.more variety with less seltzer and cider to get back to the focus on beer. Friendly staff and great burgers , belly busters anywhere I've been!

    Was shut down by public health department.

  • April 21, 2026

    Was a little busy when we arrived, so we decided to sit at the bar. Our bartender was great, answered any questions we had and was happy to give a couple beer samples, since they have SO many to choose from! The place is a dive bar, but has great food. We both had burgers and they were affordable and very good! Easy walk from the beach right on seabreeze, almost went back the next day, because it was that good! Bathrooms could use some work and a through cleaning, but other than that no complaints!!

  • April 20, 2026

    Came here with a large group. Service was excellent, beer selection was great, and the burgers were superb. Will definitely be back.

  • April 18, 2026

    Best burger I have had in a very long time!! I had the mushroom swiss but there was a great selection. Onion rings are huge. Just delicious! 😋

  • April 8, 2026

    Food was great. Reminds me of a garage bar with a music stage. I can see how this place would be rocking at night on the weekends.

  • March 29, 2026

    Tried calling for over 30 minutes, once someone finally answered they told us they stopped serving food at 11. We’re from out of town and drove from our Air bnb 41 minutes out because the place was recommended to us. Some anyone looking to try this place out they stop serving food an hour before they close!
