Archive for the ‘Daytona Beach’ Category
While I usually look for one of a kind restaurants to recommend, this week I thought I’d write about some common places to eat that may or may not be all that common to where you live.
If you are not from the South or the South/East, but once lived there but now live in some other part of the country, then Daytona Beach may be the place to get your “fix” for some restaurants that you may be familiar with, but don’t exist where you live.
- Krystal 2550 W Internatl Speedway Blvd
- Checkers 575 W Internatl Speedway
- Hardees 4096 S Ridgewood Ave; Port Orange
- Long John Silvers 2156 S Ridgewood Ave
- Krispy Kreme Donuts 980 W International Speedway
While those of you who live in the area may think it is funny mentioning these dining places, just know that in some parts of the country these restaurants either haven’t expanded to that part of the country, or have pulled up stakes and no longer exist.

One of the brighter lunch spots in Daytona Beach, Florida is:
721 Ballough Road
Daytona Beach, FL
This bright and open restaurant not only has plenty of indoor seating, but also has outdoor seating along the marina when you need to get outdoors during your long business day in Daytona or just want to enjoy the water.
Two of my favorites on Jack’s lunch menu include the:
Grouper Rueben
grouper filet with sauerkraut, melted swiss
cheese and thousand island
dressing between grilled
marble rye 9.99
Mahi-Mahi BLT
island jewel mahi-mahi seasoned and grilled to
perfection. served with remoulade sauce, bacon,
lettuce and tomato 10.99
Roger recommends getting the grouper either blackened or grilled rather than fried.
Once in a while for lunch, Jack’s will offer the “Low Country Boil” as the daily lunch special. I’ve found that this will usually only be a special on Monday’s if it’s going to be offered at all. For less then $10 you get a cluster of crab legs, shrimp, craw-fish, potatoes, sausage and and an ear of corn that have been boiled in a special seasoning. If you like seafood this is the way to go.
Caribbean Jack’s — my recommendation for a sit down lunch in Daytona Beach!
Roger’s Tip: Weather permitting, ask to sit outside in one of the rocking slider booths.
