    Mama Foo Foo was such a fun find in Daytona! The restaurant has a really cute atmosphere, beautiful views, and a great overall vibe. The food was delicious, but the drinks were what really stood out to me--they were creative, well-made, and definitely worth ordering. The service was excellent as well. Our server was incredibly knowledgeable about both the food and drink menus and was able to answer all of our questions and make great recommendations. Between the views, the food, the cocktails, and the service, it made for a great experience. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in Daytona.

    This place has a really cool atmosphere, good views right on the marina, and the server was super sweet and kind. The cauliflower appetizer was super delicious and would order it again! I personally didn't enjoy the Bolognese dish- it didn't have much flavor to it, the meat they used tasted a bit weird with it and couldn't tell what it was honestly, and just felt it was overhyped. I would come back though and try another dish. Drinks are good here and plan for it being on more the pricy side. Good place for appetizers and drinks.

    Food was fresh and cooked perfectly. Dessert well that wasn't so great we ordered a Bourbon toffee apple cake. The cake hit you with some much bourbon in the first bite it was over powering, the cake texture was mushy, and then a few more bites it was salty. We told our waitress we thought she would remove it from our bill that's a no. They have great cocktails. We got there at 5:10pm nice but after an hour so loud inside you couldn't hold a conversation. High top tables so high and crammed so close together. Kinda sad the food was great, but the atmosphere not to my personal taste. Be ready to spend some money, not a cheap meal.

    Dropped in for a quick happy hour drink and bites. Weather was perfect to sit at the outside bar area always such a good vibe! Service was great, and quick as usual! Drinks are fresh lots of in-house concoctions and you can tell! Delicious. Everything here has never disappointed. Buffalo fried deviled eggs! 10/10 the steak tip crostini wow it's like a mini open faced french dip! Steak was tender and cooked perfectly with the sautéed onion and horseradish sauce also 10/10! Chicken satay was full of flavor and delicious loved the peanut sauce ! Fried pickles were good a bit salty but the house made dill ranch was fantastic! I'm a sauce girl!

    Gluten Free breakfast wagyu smash burger with green salad
    Yvette H.

    An experience so nice, we went twice! We discovered this lovely gem on a recent stay in Daytona Beach. Our first night in town, we seemed to be striking out on restaurants that offered more than one or two items gluten free. That is, until I found the menu online for mama foo foo. I can say with confidence that Mama Foo Foo knows how to do gluten free food the right way. Our first visit was for dinner, and the ambiance was on point. Perfectly lit, short wait, cool art, and great music. The waitress was very knowledgeable about gluten free options, and even offered alternatives when she discovered that they were out of gluten free crackers for the burrata and fig. My dinner, the honey glazed scallops with lobster risotto and grilled carrots, was prepared perfectly. The staff was attentive, refilling drinks and water and checking in regularly. Price was very reasonable for the quality of food. A solid five star visit. It was so good in fact that we came back a few days later for brunch to enjoy their signature wagyu smash burger. I opted for the breakfast version (fried egg, avocado and tomato relish toppings) while my husband went with the more traditional lunch version. Again, the waiter was attentive and immediately knew to advise me that the fries were dusted with flour and offered alternatives. The grapefruit dressing on the salad was delish! Can't wait to go back and try more of the menu the next time we are in town.

    Great atmosphere. Nice bartenders. Happy hour prices are decent. I do wish they had a mocktail or two on happy hour for the prices. The spinach and goat cheese appetizer was not very good. It looked old or like it had been sitting under a heat lamp for an extended period of time. Would not order it again.

    Excellent location. Cool and young vibes from decor to servers, bartenders. My cocktail (the Lip Service) was ok-to-good and properly priced. My appetizer was fabulous: Steak Tips Crostini, on a bed of horseradish and au jus. Excellent presentation and great taste. My friend got a burger but - at least from the looks - not as impressive as my choice (the crostini). I wished I have taken a pic of my crostini but I jumped on it with all my senses... and devoured it quick. On a down side... it took extremely long to have the appetizers!!! (maybe 30+ mins) Probably one of Daytona's favorite places for the cool vibes

    Carrot cake 3/5
    Noah B.

    it wasn't good but it was edible. * Pasta dish 1/5 * Cheese bread bites 1/5 * Carrot cake 3/5 Everything was bland and tasteless. The pasta is something a kid would like. Kinda like preggo. Same with the cheesy bread. It was really disappointing for the price. Also the pasta came out cold and they were really nice and apologized.

    Was looking for a quick bite for dinner and some drinks and elected Mama Foo Foo. This place is a nice restaurant that doubles as a lounge/party spot. There is a large parking lot and ample space to park. I opted to sit at the bar for convenience but there is a ton of seating for dining. The service was not the best but I did manage to get my drinks without issue. I ended up having to get my burger to go. Other than the service, the drinks were great and for what it's worth, the burger really did hit the spot. Just a shame I had to enjoy it at my hotel room. I would definitely come again but just at a lower volume time.

    Skirt steak. It was quite delicious as well!

    The service could have been a little more on point, (we came at about 4 so they must have been going through shift change and doing there side work to leave) but thanks to the rest of the staff the food came out promptly and everything was great. The little one also ordered fried pickles (not pictured) they were fried pickles. I'm personally not a fan of them to begin with but I did find myself eating a few. We also ordered 3 desserts some chocolate mouse thing that was amazing, the not so keylime pie was awesome, and the lady took home the carrot cake. The restaurant over looks the harbor and had an amazing view, I recommend the outside seating. The music was loud but not so loud that we couldn't engage in conversation. I would definitely recommend to friends and family.

    Honey Sesame Scallops
    Jeff N.

    Initial Reaction: probably the only decent restaurant in downtown Daytona Beach, Mama Foo Foo is a solid gastropub that offers so delicious dining options and refreshing cocktails. The layout has almost an Asian feel with darker ambient tones towards the front of the establishment and brighter towards the back deck where the east end of the bar is located. If you have a table by the bar, depending on the time of day, the acoustics will become deafening based on the amount of clientele situated there. When we first arrived and had a table in between the end of the bar and doorway to the outer deck, the noise levels were reasonable where you could hold a conversation. About 30 minutes into our stay, we had a group of people take the bar stools across from our table, and the sound grew louder from there, especially since the drinks were flowing. So keep that in mind if you are looking for a quieter area for a table, that is not the place, especially during peak hours. The kitchen screwed up my wife's order where she had ordered the gluten free rigatoni bolognese and they did the regular one instead. My wife who is celiac, realized this quickly and reported it to the server who made sure she had the correct order. Wasn't the server's fault as he had given the right order. Outside of that snafu, the Honey Sesame Scallops I ordered were incredibly delightful and flavorful with the risotto. The Saffron Arancini was a little too salty with the marinara but they were well fried and prepared. Cocktail-wise was very good between the gin-based 21 Again drink with coconut milk, pineapple, lime, vanilla, and aqua faba. The tequila-forward Diablo was a zesty second choice with the cassis, ginger, lime, gomme, and soda. The restaurant does deliver food wise but be careful if you are gluten free that the kitchen doesn't screw up the order. And depending on when you go, if you are looking for more quiet surroundings, make sure to be seated somewhere away from the bar closer to the front.

    Old fashion and pumpkin something was very good

This place has a nice vibe and the owners are really dedicated from what I could see. They are opening a patio with a larger menu and getting a liquor license, hopefully by summer. Tucked away on the first floor of the Fountain Square plaza, we enjoyed the friendly clientele and the reasonably priced wine and beer. House wines for only $6 per glass, but we noticed a few couples purchasing bottles to save a few bucks. They are off to a good start! Just the Sampler was all fried (which we knew) and was served with no plastic cutlery and only one napkin for 2 people, no salt and pepper until requested. The cold cheese dip was good but could have been warmed and more plentiful. Maybe a salsa side would have worked too. Ranch, anyone? Everything was nicely cooked and served hot. The beef empanada was seasoned really nicely and the filling seemed to have peppers and onions. The chicken one seemed to be all breast meat as the filling. Better than all fillers, but some more seasoning would have been good. The yucca fries were nicely done and there were 3 types. One was a cheese bite that could have been crispier but had a nice flavor. We will come back, probably when the patio opens and the menu expands. After all, what is a speakeasy without a highball?

Food came out hot and stayed hot. BREAKFAST For breakfast, I ordered the Rear View Mirror Omelet with spinach, mushrooms, and sour dough toast. It came with toasted potatoes. It was good. Since there were only 3 tables including ours, I felt like the service could've been better. One of the older gentleman bringing out the food was busy, as was the lady taking orders. Both kept working nonstop so I figured they just might have been understaffed. They were great, though, but some things like coffee refills took time to come out. DINNER For dinner one night, we had a larger party so food took time to come out. It was slow but the service was nice. Four of us in our party ordered the Nachos. It was huge! AMBIANCE Being across the street from the Daytona Beach International Speedway and inside The Daytona hotel, it was only fitting that there were race cars inside the restaurant - and car manual-looking menus. How clever and unique! Overall, the food was decent, the service was friendly but super slow when dining in the restaurant, but the theme and ambiance was pretty cool!

I felt it was difficult (within walking distance from the Hilton) to find nicer bars where you could lounge, enjoy the ambiance, and also have a nicer selection of wine and spirits. So I'm glad I (literally) didn't have to walk anywhere to enjoy exactly that. This is what made my experience at McCoy's Rum Room great: - I love the decor. The plush couches. The finishes and thoughtful touches they added (like the lighting and curtains). The space comes together nicely, is airy and spacious, welcoming and posh. - I liked (not loved) the drink list. The wine selection for red was on point, bubbly was a little low class, but the cocktail list seemed fun and I enjoyed a Raspberry Collins - Which the bartender was happy to accommodate my additional asks (less sugar, extra lime) and in general, he was SO friendly, attentive and nice. - They have a short but GOOD bar food menu that included bigger items (like burgers) and a nice selection of light bites (I had the hummus plate, which was really nice, and also quite inexpensive ($8) and LARGE). Good thing I was drunk and hungry. I really enjoyed this bar. I recommend it and when I come back to Daytona and stay at the Hilton, I'll definitely be back!
