What diners say — our read

The headline average flatters this listing; the recent half does not. Reviewers who mention how guests are treated rate this place 4.3 on average — it is working in the restaurant’s favour.

Conspicuously absent: wait times, which no reviewer brings up. 5 stars is the modal score, given by 14 of the 20 reviewers who rated. 18 of 20 rated reviews are four stars or higher; 2 are two or lower.

The health record runs ahead of the reviews. The last DBPR inspection returned an A (100/100) and no violations cited. That inspection was on March 4, 2026. That puts it ahead of 100% of graded kitchens in Volusia County. The inspector left without citing anything — worth noting, since most visits find something.

Nothing here pulls in opposite directions — an unusually clean read. Read the originals below and judge the pattern yourself.

    Great place for a beer lover. A long list of craft brews, local and otherwise. We only came for beer and apps, and the Loaded Nachos were perfect. It was packed; no open tables on a hot Sunday afternoon. But the server was very attentive and capable. We’ll be back to work our way down the beer list!

    A little loud and hot in with maybe 30 other people

    Food was good. But there's a few terrible servers there. Talking take an hour to not check on you an get a refill. Had to flag another server down to get are server. So if you go try to get the guy with the glasses he's on point. Others need to learn from him

    Great Sports Bar! Great food! Atmosphere was on fire with the World Cup on. Not a place to go if you are looking for a quiet dinner. ITS A SPORTS BAR!

    Met a friend that lives in Ocala while we were visiting Daytona Beach for lunch. This town has changed quite a bit in 20 years and love how the main street is alive. This is a cool bar with food and TVs throughout. There is a little patio area, but not going out there in June! Server was sweet and let us try a couple of beers, since Stugel Flugel IPA was out. I decided on the Seasonal Half Wall Double-IPA that was refreshing and also got the Blue Trailer Blonde Ale. We got some cheese curds (great to see Wisconsin roots seep into FL!), nachos and shrimp. The nacho plate is huge and feed 3 of us. This is a cool little bar in downtown Deland that is worth the stop.
