What diners say — our read

This is what agreement looks like: high ratings, clean inspection. Front-of-house tends to be raised approvingly here, averaging 5.0 stars.

Of the 20 rated reviews, 19 sit at four stars or better and 1 at two or below. No one in this corpus comments on how much food arrives at all. The single most common rating left here is 5 stars (18 of 20).

Against that, the kitchen inspects well — an A (99/100), 1 basic violations at the most recent DBPR visit. The visit behind that grade was March 31, 2026. Across its inspection history the kitchen is improving, which argues for giving it the benefit of the doubt. That puts it ahead of 91% of graded kitchens in Volusia County.

Both measures agree, which is the least complicated version of this page. The reviews themselves follow, unedited and newest first.

    mixed bartender with curly hair cussed us out and told us to not come back while we were walking out to leave.

  • June 12, 2026

    A perfect "dive bar" with terrific food (cheese steak sandwiches that are the best), fresh beer on tap, and the nicest people serving you!

    We had a party for my girls softball team and ordered wings from OB’s. Not only were they cooked to perfection, but they were absolutely delicious. They also went above and beyond packaging everything so it transported perfectly without any issues. Thank you, OB’s, for the amazing food and great service!

    We went for a quick 21st bday bar trip with friends and family and had the best time. The staff and the crowd were friendly and inviting. We played pool and sang karaoke. We will be back!

    Got take out and first time. When husband came home with it I was saddened that the sandwiches ordered didn't cone with anything. No fries? Not even a pickle? But both sandwiches were great. If I had known I most definitely would have requested my beef dip be toasted...the bread texture was not great...I am sure if eating i it would've been just fine. For me though still toasted. The onion rings were of decent proportions lacking some flavor luster but great texture. Will try again as a dine in. Recommended.

    Love this place. It’s a must go to spot when visiting. I swear they have the best burgers.

  • April 16, 2026

    Was waiting on my pet that was in surgery. Hung out at OBs at the outside tables. Service was amazing and friendly.

  • April 13, 2026

    Best wings in deland. nobody can beat the price. Long as you order before 8pm. Me an my family go here couple times a week. Live music is good. staff are friendly an good service when not busy. Sometimes they are to busy an it takes awhile. They staff for there average crowd not for random stampedes. the only thing that sucks is it's CASH ONLY. So bring cash unless you want a ATM fee. Used to love the fried mushrooms but they switched vendors or something an not a fan no more. To each there own.

    My brother ◇Al◇ his friend's held a Celebration Service for him there & I am glad that they chose OB's! Just a really nice place for everyone to gather.
