Red Lobster Daytona Beach Shores has always been at least one night dinner during vacation. Last fall we had a very unexpected poor dinner and chalked it up to everyone has an off night. Back again this May and again very disappointed. No details just everyone in our group had a meal that was disappointing. Server ask at the end of the meal if we needed boxes because all of us had around 1/2 of our entrees uneaten. We all declined and he asked if we didnât like our food. We told him our problems and he said âIâm sorry, I guess youâre ready for your checkâ. He would have known something was wrong if he had come back to check on us during the meal. Too busy cracking jokes or trying to be witty instead for serving his customers. I hate to see a restaurant that was one of our favorites for 20+ years go this far down hill. Hi, Bud. We're sorry to hear that you were unsatisfied with your meal at our Daytona Beach Shores restaurant and we'd like to learn how we can make this better. Would you be able to give us a call at 800-562-7837; MondayâFriday from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM, and 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM ET so that we may learn more about your experience?

Our recent visit to this location of the several Hidden Treasures restaurants proved it a solid and stable offering of Florida riverside dining. The open areas are right next to watercraft rentals and provide a great view of Rose Bay, all the way to the lighthouse. Service is friendly and drinks are reasonable. The decor is heavy with coastal kitch, from humorous signs to old signs and nautical items. A big bar sits in the middle, and plenty of seating makes this a popular place even on crowded weekend evenings.We had pork ribey, which was delicious and perfectly cooked. Also shared the prime beef and blue cheese appetizer. Nice combination of flavors. Our table mates had Ahi tuna and beef sandwich, both pleased with their choice.A live band started around 6 this evening, and played popular songs with not too much volume. Overall a great evening experience.

Very inclusive menu with all items fairly priced for a beach scene place. For this who want a special treat, they serve Trigger Fish..blackened..yummy. The clam strip basket was loaded with thick clam strips. Service was friendly and fast. Really nice placeT

Happy hour is 4-6pm but discount only on domestic beers. We did get a couple of draft beers then sat on the covered, open sided porch for dinner. Service was good and food arrived quick. We had the calamari as an appetizer. Really good and platter included lightly fried red peppers and broccoli florets. I had the royal red shrimp (omg!) and hubby had the clam strips andfriedfrieshshrimpshriplatter. Food was delicious.

We've been coming here for several years and have had better meals in the past. Service still good as everyone works as a team. The seafood was a little overcooked - shrimp, fish and oysters. Lots of broccoli came as a side, enough for two servings. Coleslaw was tasty.

We spent one day of our Florida family vacation in the Daytona Beach area. We decided to try Racing's North Turn after a recommendation from our tour guide at the Daytona Speedway race track. We were not disappointed! My husband and son are racing fans, so they enjoyed seeing all of the museum items and memorabilia. The food was great, too! I had the 'catch of the day' sandwich which happened to be orange roughy. It was perfectly battered - just lightly. So good! My husband always orders 'shrimp & grits' at least once when we are down south so that's what he tried here. He said it was delicious! My kids enjoyed their meals, too. Our waitress was very friendly and we enjoyed great service. We would definitely go back if ever in the area again.

We go to Aunt Catfish whenever we are in Daytona Beach. The food is always good and service is top notch. Get there early or you will have a wait. The salad bar is outstanding, as is, the slaw, baked beans, grits, baked apples and cornbread station. These are all you can eat items. I recommend any/all of the shrimp selections on the menu. The dozen fried shrimp is my go to dinner. If you have to park across the street be careful and look both ways. Enjoy a wonderful seafood meal.

In town for a few days so Millie's was our first stop for dinner Saturday night. We both enjoyed grouper with Patty pan squash and rice topped with a balsamic reduction...perfect! Leah, our server, was incredible. We enjoyed our whole dining experience from start to finish. Today we stopped for lunch - a perfect pulled pork sandwich topped with slaw and handmade chips. Owners are always present and the quality of food and service shows that someone's passion is on the menu. Love Millie's!
