We love going to the DeLand Eatery for lunch (when it's open for lunch during the week), because they have the best Smash Burgers in town! Also the fries that come with it are delicious! They do have good salads and other delicious items, but the Smash Burger is always hard to resist. Service is always friendly and we like the casual dining area. In cooler weather, they have a great patio. The DeLand Eatery is located inside the historic DeLand Hotel. In the evening, you can order food from the eatery at their beautiful bar. read more

Deland Eatery - Smash Burger - American Near Me - DeLand, Florida

I really liked this place. The service was exceptional. Everyone was very polite and on top of things. Which isn't always easy when you are a restaurant/bar. So kudos to them! Now onto the food. I didn't realize they only used the mini menu during the week, the other menu's were also on the bar, so I picked my food from there. The chef was nice enough to accommodate me though so yay to that! What a nice chef! The street corn was amazing. I definitely recommend trying it. read more

We stopped in Deland on our way over to New Smyrna Beach to visit friends, the Deland Eatery is located inside The Deland Hotel (super cute). Also had a Retro Clothing Thrift Shop in Hotel, which had great prices and cool clothes! We enjoyed our lunch and drinks from their full service bar. I had the steak sandwich with fries and my husband had the chicken sandwich. Both were very delicious! We will definitely come back again. read more

I swear I always forget to take pictures because I'm too busy living in the moment... and this visit was no exception. I came here to celebrate my friend's birthday and we decided to hang out in the cocktail/bar area. The ambiance was really nice. Cozy, relaxed, and exactly the kind of vibe we were looking for to catch up, laugh, and celebrate. I ordered an Old Fashioned. It was decent. Not the best I've ever had, but it definitely did the job while we enjoyed the night. For food, I had the Caesar salad and it was actually really good. The chicken was juicy with a nice crisp to it, which made the whole dish come together perfectly. Overall, it was a great spot for a casual night out with friends. Good vibes, good food, and a comfortable atmosphere to just enjoy the moment. I'd definitely come back. read more

Deland Eatery - Long mirror means picture time! - American Near Me - DeLand, Florida

This place is so cute ! The food was excellent and were so glad we stopped in It's located inside the Deland Hotel which is a really old hotel located on the outskirts of downtown Deland. The eatery was an indoor outdoor area and we chose to sit outside . The prices were decent and the food was really good ! We had bloody Mary's and mimosas as well as their fat kid fries and mozerella sticks with prosciutto wrapped inside . We also had the avocado toast which was good and my boyfriend got a smash burger. The person taking care of us was nice and it was such a gorgeous day out and we weee happy we went ! There was even an art gallery inside the hotel that we were able to select a piece of free art! The only negative is that there was a family that had their sons cartoons on full blast while we were trying to enjoy our food but I guess that's just the norm these days . read more

Smash burger is a must!! The fries are the best. Great service and great people . The Bar is amazing too.

The restaurant is closed Monday and Tuesday however you can still have a wonderful meal in the lounge. This place is an incredible 100+ year old establishment with a hotel upstairs. We really enjoyed our meal and our time in the intimate atmosphere. read more

Excellent fresh-farm to table menu. Smash burger is a must. Staff are always friendly and welcoming. The bar section is a local favorite, great for after work meetings or just a relaxing evening. A little hidden gem in town. read more

Staying at the Deland Hotel for two nights. Ate at the Deland Eatery yesterday evening and had breakfast this morning. Food and service here are great. If you get a chance stop by the hotel bar, really cool spot as well. read more

Allowed to make a reservation for brunch to celebrate a birthday only to arrive and they were closed opening in an hour and no brunch menu. Tried again today as website showed open. Arrived and again closed. RUDE employed came through the door and snubbed. We don't open til 12:00 locked the door and walked away. Two strikes. read more

Love the vibes of this local hotel! The bar is so quaint and honestly perfect for a date night. We ordered some tequila espresso martinis and honestly has been one of the best ones we've had yet. Service was great and very attentive. read more

Great surprise stop in Deland this week with friends for dinner. The entry and bar area are soooo cozy warm and welcoming. The bar area is almost out of a movie its so fun! Food was delish. We ate in the restaurant - which is behind a few little boutique stores - again - so cute. I had the cesar with chicken - basic but well done! Hubs had the salmon - very tasty over rice. Friends had the smash burger which they said was great! (Smash sauce for the win!) A great time had by all. Thanks for having us! Sadly no photos bc we were in the moment enjoying it all! Will return again! read more

This was well above average. I had my favorite, a smash burger. No complaints on that, the corn side was just so so. Service was ok.

WoW -- this vintage hotel -- bar-- restaurant is full of charm. Bartender Ryan crafts quite a nice drink -- the cocktail menu is creative and served with style. The Black Manhattan, Old Fashion, & the Red Wine blend were all greatly enjoyed. The food menu is equally enticing, my Filet Bulgogi Fries were delicious, and I look forward to sampling more menu items. There is inside seating in the Bar & restaurant as well as patio & front porch outside areas. The vintage ambiance and friendly staff make this Deland spot exceptional. I especially like that it is a couple blocks off the main tourist drag -- Quiet & easy to walk to or there is parking in back. read more

This was our first visit and was not disappointed. Loved the quaint atmosphere. The food was well presented and delicious. Our server Courtney was prompt, knowledgeable and very friendly. Will go again and will recommend it to all our friends. read more

The indoor dining space is small and cozy. I imagine it is nice to dine on the patio, but it rained all day and a cold front was moving in so we didn't want to risk it. The service is friendly and quick. There is a really nice selection of craft cocktails and the food menu was eclectic. I had the filet with compound butter and mashed potatoes while my husband had the crab cake sandwich. We had the pork belly appetizer and finished with the brownie sundae. Everything was delightful. We look forward to returning to try the brunch menu. read more

Live music was a nice touch. The staff was friendly and competent. Looking forward to returning and enjoying more delicious food. Marry me chicken is there specialty. You will not be disappointed. read more

Went in for brunch this afternoon with my husband and son. I had a Smashburger and fries and it was amazing! Also had a bloody Mary that was one of the best I've ever had. My husband has biscuits and gravy and my son had a fancy ham and cheese sandwich and all of it was so good! Even bought some of their house made pickles to take home. We will definitely be back. read more

I took my mom and my daughter for brunch this morning at about 11 o'clock. I don't know if it was just because there was only one server and he was mediocre - but our food came out cold. We ordered two avocado toasts and a cinnamon roll as well as biscuits and jams. Our eggs were ice cold and the biscuits didn't come out until I had to ask for them- I think he forgot. When I asked, he said they were still baking them but funny enough when they came out, they were not piping hot. I had to ask multiple times for coffee, water, silverware... the food and the ambience want to be great , I believe that they could be- but the service today was subpar by a lot- however as a typical millennial I tipped and did not complain. read more

Incredible service, loved the outdoor seating/ambiance and the food was SO good. (If you don't want to sit outside in the patio there are tables inside as well!) The restaurant is nestled behind the Deland Hotel and the entrance is in the back. You have to try this place out! All of the meals are fresh, the bread is baked daily & each dish is unique. You're also able to order specialty cocktails from the bar inside. The waitress was quick to get us our waters and our orders. She explained how the chef cooks his food to a 'T and was very honest & genuine about the food and recommendations. I had the steak sandwich and my husband got the smash burger. Both were delicious! Including our sides which was, the street corn, french fries (nice and crispy!), and mac & cheese. Everyone enjoyed their meal and my friends said the chicken and steak plates they ordered were phenomenal. Will come back again. read more

Our group stopped for brunch on the way home from Blue Springs Park. We were all so impressed!! Can't wait to return. A few of what impressed us: - delicious press coffee - biscuits and gravy to die for - fried chicken Caesar salad (can't wait I eat this again) - instead of sugar, little tubs of simple sugar (love) - high quality napkins - great service read more

Great food and good vibes! Our service was excellent too! Good coffee, eggs Benedict were perfectly cooked

The food is always very good and the service is always excellent. The cocktails are outstanding. The bar is a fun space in an old hotel.

If I could give more stars I would! We were looking for a nearby home place for date night and we found it. The food was absolutely delicious and the craft cocktails are a must! We tried three different drinks and they were all worth the price and amazing . The staff was all nice and very talkative. This place is definitely worth a try in DeLand. I'm surprised they aren't busier, need some signage to point out the bar and restaurant. read more

We enjoyed eating at this spot, the food felt fresh and healthy. They sat us outside because it was packed and we got lucky because there was live music. The vibe was great ! perfect for a brunch date. We started with prosciutto cheese sticks they were yummy specially dipped in the sauce it came with it had a sweet taste to it. I got the chicken biscuit and the chicken was fried to perfection and it was soft, my husband has the short rib hash bowl and he said it was perfect size to fill him up. Service was a little slow, however they did warned us that they were a little backed up.overall with had a great first experience. read more

Very cool location, good food and drinks. I'd definitely go back. The service was a bit on the slow side but, to be fair, they were pretty busy, so I won't judge them too critically on service. read more

We went to Sinatra'sfor an early cocktail and snacks and soup and salad. Finished with Cannoli's . Very crowded on Wed. Night. Escargots were cheese bread With small bits of the snails. We chose to eat at the bar and split/soup and salad. Escar would definitely like to go there again. Music great, service eating at bar went well, right jumping off the bar. Good cocktails What else do we had have to eat besides soup and salad escargot and drinks? Best. Dessert of cannolis!!! what Great grand piano music! read more

I called for a last minute reservation the morning of myself and a few girlfriends wanting to do a brunch. I didn't expect to get a table and figured we'd wait but the hostess was so accommodating. Although it sounded like she was booked for the time we requested, she gave me a few options. We ended up choosing 2 split tables inside next to each other. When we got there the tables still had others seated at them and they felt really bad so we ended up moving outside. It was a little chilly but nothing unbearable. We didn't order drinks because a few had driving from very far. For brunch I got the smash burger with an egg, and a side of bacon. Everything was cooked perfect. The girl next to me had ordered the grilled cheese and that looked fire as well ((however, it did included ham, which looked rather fatty so definitely keep that in mind)) everyone else's food looked amazing! Our waitress was so attentive and our food came out within reasonable time. I can't wait to go back! read more

Very nice restaurant in the historic Deland Hotel. Service was great and so was the food! The chicken on the Caesar salad was lightly fried and seasoned nicely with the best homemade croutons. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that I had the shrimp toast on sour dough bread which was delicious but would have liked the bread to be crispier - wasn't toasted enough so it was a little soggy. Definitely would come back again. read more

We have eaten here several times and they never disappoint us. The atmosphere, service and food is outstanding. Today we had Bella for our server and she was fantastic. We started with a home made cinnamon role topped with their house made whipped cream which was very big and enough for four of us to try. Three of us then had the Captain Crunch French toast which comes with a side of bacon. It was delicious. I also tried the Cowboy Candy which is pickled jalapeños with a simple syrup and it was delicious. It was not very spicy and had a great flavor. The French toast was outstanding. They make it using their house made sour dough bread along with a big scoop of their house made whipped cream. The bacon is thick cut and cured in house. They have a huge smoker out back that is used to smoke all of their meat. My wife had the Shrimp Toast which is also made on their homemade sour dough bread. It was piled high with medium to large shrimp along with sautéed onions and peppers then covered with a mild spicy cheese sauce and then topped with an egg. They serve their coffee in a French press and it is delicious. You can't go wrong with anything you order. The owners Ian and his wife Kacie are always around working either in the restaurant, bar or hotel. They are supper friendly and always willing to talk about the history of the hotel. This is such a cool place and a must to experience. read more

The food is decent but the portions are way too small for the price point and bread is not part of a meal as we get 99% of the time.gotta try something at least once. read more

This place is amazing. We went on a Sunday night and my husband had fillet over mashed potatoes with a compound herb butter, he was so impressed as he is very picky. . I had the crabcakes (my family is from Maryland), so I was so impressed. We were very pleased! We went there the next day to have the five dollar smash burgers. All I can say is wow not just plain smash burgers they have several to choose from. This is our favorite place in Deland to eat and drink! read more

Won't go again.very uncomfortable atmosphere. Walked in and all the workers were starting at us. No clear direction on where to sit. Found a seat and wait more than 30 minutes and had to flag down a worker to take our order because at that point we already had so much time to pick it out what we wanted. At that point a group of people had come in 15 min after us and got there food. Worker came with a whole lot of attitude that was unwarranted. Food came out and was not good for the price no seasoning on any of the food and some of the food came not hot. Worker never checked up on us but did ask if we wanted the check. Overall 0/10 never would go again. Especially if you are of color be careful because they won't take care of you like they would others. I don't play into the racial stereotypes but this was not a place for me and my friends. It's 2025 and this is the behavior is unacceptable. Anyways we will never go again. Hopefully this was helpful. Do better people :) Also reading the review people have left if you leave a negative review apparently they will rain fire under your review which is unwarranted and not of Godly character, which they like the bring up so often. It's a review and I'm entitled to my opinion and to share it no need for the defensiveness. So I pray they get the day they don't deserve which is filled with Gods mercy. :) read more

What a delightful patio and dining room. This place has great service and the food and drinks are awesome. Had a great time.
