    This place was very chill. First time trying Kava. The service was good. Not sure if they had food or not as I didn't see a menu for it. I did like their chill spot within the place with sofas and games.

    OUTSTANDING!!! I have been to many many kava bars in the last few years. This was hands down the best experience I have ever had! The kava that they have is so smooth you can't even taste it. Brad was our bartender and not only was he personable but made the best tasting kava drinks I have ever had. I had the kombucha that they have on tap so good. I also had the mojito, the mule and the mango kavarita. All insanely delicious! I'm on vacation but I wish I lived closer. Worth the stop if you live here or just passing through. Don't skip this place if you love kava. Thanks for a wonderful night!

    What a great New place its so cozy and welcoming inside and out. I love the ambience has great Island vibe perfect match to the Kava experience. My Kavatender was very courteous and attentive; extremely helpful any questions about the Kava variances and options. They offer different choices mixed with the Kava that I have never had before and I was surprisingly surprised it was delicious. I had Tangerine & Passion fruit (Mitra 9). Excited for this little gem.

    Ambiance is bohemian chic. With three different vibes to choose from. Either an outdoor patio with shaded seating area and greenery to relax naturally in the outdoors. Or inside is an intimate setting, another lounge almost akin to a hybrid of a hookah lounge or drawing room. I can see this is a perfect place for private gatherings. Or even football parties. Then there is the main long bar room, with it's laid back bohemian chic chill vibe. The service was impeccable. Friendly. Knowledgeable. Sincere. We're definitely coming back, with friends!

    This place never disappoints. The food is absolutely amazing and you constantly leave this place…read morewith a full belly and let's not forget about the service. Everyone just seems so happy here so you can tell that it really enjoy their jobs which makes a huge difference. We started off with the coconut shrimp and had like this coconut mayo dipping sauce was different, but it was really good, but I felt like it needed like a sweet-and-sour sauce then I had the mahi tacos with just the rice no black beans definitely still as good as the last time I tried it my boyfriend got the buffalo chicken pizza gluten-free and he ate the entire thing so that just tells you right off the bat that it was good and to finish off our dinners we ended with Keylime pie. It wasn't the best it was OK. I don't think I would have it again, though the ambience, excellent this place is adorable. It's like a diamond in the rough. No one really knows it's here but anytime ever and someone says they're going to Daytona. I always recommend this place. Go here! You will never be disappointed trust me!

    Having been to the grind over the years, we have certain expectations as to the quality of food and…read moreservice. I want to preface this by saying we went on a very cold day and ate indoors..the pizza was outstanding and the waiter was friendly and engaging..in other words, typical for our experiences there. Prior to this, we even brought friends who hadn't been there before and loved it...now, to our recent experience: We were seated and the waitress seemed as though she wasn't very familiar with the menu and had to check on our requests, each check took a disturbingly long time. When we brought our friends, my gal ordered a hamburger and I asked the waitress if she could have the wagyu, rather than the angus burger, she readily said yes and my gal marveled over the burger...fast forward to the last experience, the waitress said she'd have to order the wagyu as posted and it "wasn't available" as a stand alone order. So my gal settled for the angus burger and again, the wait was a bit long and as we were considering to leave, the waitress showed up, gave us our food and left. the onion rings were cold...literally...they had been out so long that they weren't even warm (our prior experiences the onion rings arrived hot and delicious). Again we waited for our waitress to return and my gal had to ask another waitress if she could get us some hot onion rings. That waitress noted the cold onion rings and brought them back to the kitchen to prove we weren't being unreasonable, which was a greatly appreciated gesture on her part. Very promptly, the "other" waitress brought our onion rings, apologizing profusely...we thanked her and when my gal started into her Caesar salad, it was inedible....soggy, nearly tasteless and resembling a hot spinach salad with soggy lettuce than a crisp Caesar salad....the upside, the second batch of onion rings were up to their usual excellent standard, the burger was good, but not the intensity of flavor their wagyu burger had. If we hadn't been semi-regulars, it is a near certainty we wouldn't go back, but we aren't going to let a single experience unravel years of good experiences.

Atmosphere is great - outdoor - seating, with stages for music, and a fire pit; indoor - TVs, lots of games, and friendly efficient bar service. Great selection of beers for hubs - his favorite is The Dude (a White Russian milk stout) - I don't drink beer but had a sip and kinda liked it! I loved that they had lots of beverage choices for non-beer drinkers too - I enjoyed a raspberry seltzer and a glass of Cabernet (which was quite good!). The food on the menu looks good (they even won the 2025 Ormond burger competition!) but we enjoyed the smoked brisket and chicken platters from "Cookin Wid Kunchi" - soooo good and the mac n cheese was SMOKED ). We look forward to returning!

A good number of bikes coming in and out and some fairly loud yukking it up by a few intoxicated patrons at the outside bar, but as John C. said, it's best not to judge a book by its cover. Service wise things struggled a bit as two of the inside servers were sort of kind of taking care of us and the bartender was also trying to but he was swamped. This led to some minor issues like half of the group getting their food at one time and the other half getting theirs a few minutes later or the round of drinks that came with the wrong drinks for the wrong people. Whatever. Hickory Burger - Blue Cheese Burger - Wings - Reuben The burgers and Reuben were all done as advertised and in particular the fries were well seasoned and done perfectly. The person who ordered the wings specifically asked for them to be made crispy and when they hit the table they were I guess you could say spongy. After a quick send back to the kitchen they came back with twice the garlic on them and tasting 100% of grill but they were certainly were um...crispy. Overall this is a decent spot in Ormond to grab some quick bar food favorites at reasonable prices. (Of course worth noting if you're a Steelers fan are the menu name drops to The Bus, Rocky Bleier, Big Ben and a few others. Neat.)

I belong to a group of about 600 journalists across the country who participate in a blog about their experiences. Here is the recent post I sent my journalist friends about my experience at Frank's, and then Hanky Panky's, and the responses I got from fellow journalists: DANA WILKIE writes: How to Get Kicked Out of a Pool Hall So, for years I've been shooting pool recreationally. Typically, that required having a pool table in my home, which I sometimes did, or frequenting pool halls and bars to seek challengers. Recently, I began playing in tournaments at our local hall and, boy, is that learning curve steep. APA rules are different from bar rules, and so I've learned new terms like "ball in hand" and "in the kitchen." I've acquired new accoutrements, like a break stick, a shooting glove, and a pool tip shaper. These are high competitors, these pool tournament folks, and they don't suffer amateurs patiently. Compared to them, I'm a rank amateur. I was schooled about A) not chalking up the table too much; and B) not hovering too close to the table to view my opponent's shots; and C) how to improve my piss-poor, anemic breaks. So it was that I frequented another local bar here in Ormond Beach, Florida, by the name of "Frank's." There, beyond the view of these tournament sharks, I practiced on my own - perfecting angles and bank shots, learning about "walking the dog" (pool slang for rolling a ball against the rail all the way down to a corner pocket) and trying not to chalk up the table. This went well for some time, until I ran afoul of Frank's bartendress, who apparently took an instant disliking to me. Surly and rude - to several patrons, I've heard - she chided me for leaving my debit card behind, for playing music on my iPhone that "nobody wants to hear" and for - you know - chalking up the table (even though Frank's provides abundant chalk for just this purpose). So apparently, according to patrons, I further irritate said bartendress - she is inaptly named "Charity" -- by talking too much with her boyfriend and shooting against him. So, things started to get ugly. Charity's boss, the two of them friends, marches up to me one evening after I walk in, and declares that I was spotted lifting someone's purse the night before. First, the purse in question belonged to a friend and fellow shooter who asked me to move it from one chair to a chair closer to her. Second, while I'm hardly made of money, I'm not yet at the point where I need to pilfer purses. I try to object, but then realize that this owner, her name is Annette, has it out for me. So, I return to Frank's and try not to chalk up, keep my iPhone on silent, retrieve my debit card dutifully, and avoid said bartendress's sometime boyfriend. Only to be confronted one more by "Annette," who claims that there have been "too many complaints" about me and then announces she's banning me from "Frank's." Now I fully recognize that an establishment's owner has the freedom to refuse service to anyone, for any reason. I'm also aware that what went down here was about jealousy, pettiness, and retribution. Regardless, there are other local halls - including the tournament hall where shooters are tough -- but friendly and helpful. In any event, I sort of consider this a badge of honor. I've been kicked out of a pool hall! Wait 'till my future grandchildren hear about it. Meanwhile, the rumors of my apparent transgressions drifted down a few blocks to the new pool hall I began frequenting -- entitled "Hanky Panky's." Before long, the owner there, a man by the name of Mike, had it out for me. So did the woman running the tournaments there, who quickly found reason to kick me out of said tournaments after I beat her a few times. Eventually, owner Mike --a thoroughly messed up and apparently coked or methed up guy -- kicked me out as well.
