What diners say — our read

This listing's ratings cluster at the two ends of the scale. Service cuts both ways here, averaging 3.3 among the reviews that raise it.

Newer reviews score better than older ones (4.2 recent against 3.5 earlier), so direction is worth weighing alongside the average. If you had to pick one number to represent this corpus it would be 5, the most frequently given rating (12 reviews). One subject never comes up here: plate size.

Set against that, the state's own inspection graded the kitchen a D (60/100), with 4 high-priority, 1 intermediate, and 5 basic violations recorded. Reviews describe the meal; the grade describes the conditions it was made in. DBPR last walked in on September 10, 2025. Ranked against Volusia County, it is safer than 5% of the restaurants we score. The citations behind that grade include food from approved source and cross-contamination.

Taken together, this is a place diners like and inspectors do not. A good meal and a clean kitchen are different questions. The individual reviews are below, newest first, if you want the raw material.

    Dania always makes me feel like I'm at home and no matter how big the crowd is she never makes me feel forgotten.

    Was sitting inside this morning before ordering when a guy (not identified as an employee) aggressively told me I couldn’t hang out there and needed to buy something or leave. That is a totally reasonable policy and I’m fine with it. My problem is that I was planning on buying something, and the guy got 3 inches from my face to give me attitude, and the sign on the door said no attitude allowed. Giving 2 stars for being unnecessarily aggressive but also having $3.75 beer.

    We go there every time we come into town for big events. Local is the way to go.

    Always good times and wonderful bartenders too

    I got a pretzel but took forever to get. The airfryer broke. The waitress lost herself. Then it came with mustard and she never asked if we wanted cheese or mustard. Yuck 🤢 to mustard. Everywhere I go, I get cheese with pretzels. This was gross!!!!

    Si I am in town with my boss and his family for a few weeks to get some work done on one of their properties in the area. He brought me here a few days ago for drinks with a neighbor. I am from Candelaria Texas and was very impressed by the this place. Let's start with the atmosphere and it is perfect. The drinks and food are great. The people are very cool. The Tequila pineapple jalapeño is a perfect blend with a unique flavor.

    This is one of my favorite bars as well as quiet a few of my friends. I have been lucky enough to enjoy this place during Bike weeks and other times of the year over the years. So that being said when we are in town to rest at our rental property I grab one of our neighbors for a few drinks. The waitresses and bartenders are awesome plus the atmosphere is cool enough that you feel at home. So we came in last night to chill a bit.

    What a nice location right next to the beach we literally walked to right after a couple drinks

  • April 12, 2026

    Justin is the guy you want to go to if you need a drink! Outstanding service!

  • April 5, 2026

    I will say the drinks are far better now then during bikeweek events

    Very Racist bar. My friends and I went last night and were sitting down and had a lady come up and tell us “you shouldn’t be sitting here.” We were the only ones of Hispanic and Asian decent and it was very well understood because of the skin color. Do not spend your money here.

    Best bar on Main Street. Just go, you’ll love it.

  • March 19, 2026

    Food is non existent, bar service is slow, bouncer completely rude and disrespectful, was “Nearing” closing time and bouncer approached with serious disrespectful attitude even cursing, not a safe environment, mind you I’m a female, after having good conversation with bartender and tipping extremely well! Will never return there! Trashy place!! Wasn’t even closing time!

    Great local establishment open year around.
