Their Baklava is some of the best. Staff are kind and it's such a quiet atmosphere it's a great place to relax.

But I loved it, highly recommend this place

Took a little day trip to DeLand and asking around, BakeChop was recommended by several locals so…read morewe chose them for our lunch spot. The food was very good. I had the Alice in Wonderland burger, which tasted like a yummy burger and French onion soup had a baby. It was an unexpected combination that was absolutely delicious. Already thinking about how I can make this at home. My friend had the California chicken sandwich, which she enjoyed as well. We both had the seasonal watermelon feta side.... Yum! The space is cute and rustic. The walk up window for the host was pretty great so the staff isn't outside in the Fl heat. I made it a four star review instead of five because our server disappeared during the meal and never returned. Another server did eventually come by to cash us out but no offer of drink refills. Otherwise, a really nice spot for a meal while in town.

Once you understand that this is a restaurant founded in 1959, housed in a former two story home originally built in 1951, you may come to appreciate the history and understand the vibe. It is truly amazing that this historic restaurant has survived in 2026. I happen to like the uniqueness and honestylye-feel, as if you're at someone's grandma's house. There is plenty of parking directly behind the restaurant and a small lot in ftont of the restaurant. There's parking along the side too. I enjoy the beautiful plants and flowers surrounding the restaurant. Honestly, they can make for a nice photo on a good day. Upon entering, if it's busy, like on Sunday afternoons, you'll find that you'll receive a little card with a number on it. After waiting and listening for your number to be called, you'll be seated. Check the website before you go... You'll be prepared for the hybrid meal service. Some things are served to you at the table and are not unlimited, like soups and desserts. Some things are self-serve and unlimited, like the old-fashioned salad bar and hot vegetables. A server will hand-carve your choice of meat for you. Just "know-before-you-go" by taking a quick glance at the website. Is it five star food? No. Is it just homey country style cooking? Yes. They serve lunch and dinner. They are supported by generations of locals. Lots of people like to celebrate their birthday here. If you bring at least 3 friends to help you celebrate, you'll dine for free. Contrary to many reviews, I've never experienced or seen rudeness. In fact, I've seen staff taking the time to be friendly to guests. When coming here, you can't be super picky about the food - it's not a five star restaurant. Yes, the green beans may be from a can. It's okay, you'll survive! Enjoy the unique experience!

I had high hopes walking into Cook's Buffet Cafe and Bakery in DeLand, but unfortunately I don't…read moreeven know where to start with Cook's Buffet Cafe and Bakery. We didn't even stay after reading the menu and that says everything. They advertise it as a "buffet," but it's completely misleading. You're still paying for protein items if you want seconds, so it's not a true buffet at all. Feels like a bait-and-switch the second you look at the menu. The setup was confusing, the vibe was off, and honestly it didn't feel worth sticking around to figure it out. If you're expecting a traditional buffet experience, this is not it. Save your time and your money go elsewhere!

The two ladies who helped me were incredibly kind, patient, and attentive. They went above and beyond to make sure everything was taken care of and had my order ready as quickly as possible. Their professionalism, positive attitude, and genuine willingness to help made all the difference. It's rare to come across customer service like that, and I'm so grateful for their help. Thank you both for turning a stressful moment into such a positive experience. You truly made my day!

There are evenings one plans with great care, and there are evenings that simply happen to us…read more My visit to 4th Street Bar & Grill belonged to the latter category. I arrived without ceremony, took a seat at the bar, and expected little more than a drink and a quiet escape from the predictable machinery of an ordinary evening. Yet sometimes, in the most unassuming places, simplicity proves far more satisfying than spectacle. The service was remarkably quick, but never felt hurried. There is a subtle difference between efficiency and impatience, and the staff understood it well. I was acknowledged promptly, served without unnecessary delay, and left to enjoy the evening at my own pace. This may sound like a modest accomplishment, but anyone who has spent enough time waiting invisibly at a crowded bar knows that attentive service is becoming something of a lost art. The atmosphere possessed an easy, lively rhythm. There was plenty of entertainment, enough to hold one's attention without demanding it, and the room carried the pleasant energy of people who had temporarily set aside the obligations waiting for them elsewhere. Nothing felt overly manufactured. The experience was not desperate to impress, and perhaps that was precisely why it succeeded. 4th Street Bar & Grill did not attempt to transform an ordinary evening into some grand theatrical production. It simply provided quick service, genuine entertainment, and a comfortable place to sit and enjoy the passing hours. In doing so, it reminded me that a memorable night does not always arrive beneath chandeliers or behind velvet ropes. Sometimes, it begins with an open seat at the bar.

It's the same service and chef you love from the Coffee house, but with wine and sangria flights instead. I ordered the mushroom and brie bruschetta and a pesto grilled cheese! Both were so delicious. My son ordered the Waygu beef burger and the hubs ordered the Grouper sandwich. Everything was very tasty, and the ambiance of the seating area outside in the breezeway was really nice for a casual lunch. They offer a charcuterie and cheese board that would pair perfectly with wine or sangria flights instead for date night or a girls' night out. We will be back!

She never did, 2nd wait staff person came by and asked if we were dining inside? Well, we're at a table inside, so I guess the answer is yes. He leaves, no menus.

I really wanted everything to go well and from the moment we sat down i could tell we picked the right place. Our server Dalia was amazing!!! she was so kind and welcoming and somehow made everything feel relaxed and comfortable. she was attentive without interrupting us and really helped make the whole night feel easy and natural. And her suggestions helped! The drinks were incredible the food was incredible too. you can tell they really care about the quality of what they serve. everything tasted fresh and was cooked perfectly. we were both talking about how good everything was the whole night i also have to give a huge shoutout to the manager Michael. you can tell he runs a tight ship because the service from everyone was outstanding, even with the restaurant being busy. he still took the time to stop by our table, check on us, and make sure everything was going well. he made us feel like VIPs instead of just another table between the amazing food, Dalia helping make our night feel so comfortable, and Michael making sure everything was running so smoothly, i couldnt have asked for a better place for a first date. definitely one of the best restaurants in Deland and we already agreed it was so good we need to go back for date #2

Thoroughly enjoyed the environment,our server, & the food! Will most definitely be back often…read moregiven we're local. A favorite!
