Best Casual Restaurants in Ormond Beach

Had a wonderful dining experience here. The place was charming and intimate. Our server, Hazel, was perfect. The food and wine were excellent. Hope to return some day.

We sat on the front porch. It made for an interesting perch! Some car noise but not enuf to be a detriment. Our waitress Molly was knowledgeable about the menu and was a joy to have take care of us. The food was excellent, we had the fried chicken and the chicken statler. Would definitely go back and have the same again! Although as good as those dishes were, we should try something else as I think it would be great too. After we left we saw that there was music out on back porch so that’s my spot next time. A great find, wonderful ambience.

Awesome Eastern European food. A real gem. Server was very informative and engaging. Portions were huge. Very casual and unpretentious vibe for such elevated cuisine. Better food than most fine dining/white tablecloth restaurants. Prices seem low for the outstanding quality and portion size. It’s in the Oceanwalk complex of tourist traps and bars/clubs geared to younger people and families with children. Has a few wine and beer selections, but would benefit from a full bar and expanded beer and wine list. Perhaps the only true foodie destination in that area. And the only authentic Eastern European food in within 20 miles. Worthy of driving in from Ormond, Port Orange, or New Smyrna. While we tend to avoid the area due to the crowds and expensive parking, we will definitely be back, and soon!

Five stars every single time when it comes to the exceptional food and exceptional service. You do not want to miss out on a reservation at Chucherias. Can’t recommend highly enough.

Christmas Eve Dinner engagement. Everyone was amazing except for 1 waiter not servicing our table. I was preparing to propose to my sweetheart at the end of diner and moved my chair closer to her to be more intimate for the moment and I know I was in the isle but it was going to be a brief moment and I was rudely interrupted a server immediately while I was prosing. I completely understood why but the rudeness of this individual was completely uncalled for. As an attempt to briefly explain the purpose of my position was to propose. I moved my chair back and lightly tapped the server on the should to request his attention and a brief moment to explain he immediately got defensive and abruptly DO NOT TOUCH ME. I apologized by my approach was not to offend or make a scene but everyone else around us noticed his demeanor. I explained what I was preparing to do and he responded too bad you are not going to block the isle way. I quickly realized this serve was going to create a scene so due to the nature of the situation I would step away and return to my sweetheart and finish my proposal. Later our servers and the manager came to apologize and offer a free desert and anything else the could do to make the best of the moment. I am grateful for all the service and the manager’s attention to make the best of moment that was to be very a positive romantic moment for us. We are from Columbus, Ohio where there are 3 amazing Hyde Park Restaurants and we usually dine during special family moments and frequent romantic dates and will continue to dine at those locations where we are a valued customer and provided superior service and exceptional food. Maybe this server was having a bad day but he had no right to destroy our evening with in a split second. I truly hope management will address this servers behavior and not allow him to ruin another couples special moment. If the manager of this location in Daytona Beach received this review I’m sure he will know.
