    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.

    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!

    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.

    The ambiance and service were great! However, beautiful, the food is bland. I'm not looking forward to going back

    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.

    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

    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.

    Old fashion and pumpkin something was very good

    Is it at Daytona Beach for our anniversary and this restaurant was recommended by the bartenders at the autograph Daytona hotel. The restaurant is chic and modern. At 10 o'clock they have a DJ spinning the latest songs. The food was so good. We had the buffalo deviled eggs, chicken satay, short ribs and skirt steak. Our waiter was excellent and he even gave us two glasses of champagne to celebrate. When I'm back I. Daytona I will definitely return.

    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.

    We got the crab dip. It came with crostini, yay! It is surprising how many places around here…read moreserve fish dip or crab dip with crackers. And the "other" wine bar in Ormond Beach doesn't even have bread in the restaurant. The crostini were freshly made, with a touch of garlic. The crab dip was delicious and had lumps of crab in it. Very filling. This wine bar has a lot of European and South American wines, not just CA. And the woman working there was pretty knowledgeable. She also encourage us to taste the wines before committing to a glass, which was appreciated since most glasses are $15+. We both got red blends and they were both good. The atmosphere is very laid back, not pretentious. There are clear signs that everyone is welcome here, straight, gay or otherwise. the couches are beckoning, and the conversation pits are well set up. We were here right after opening, around 5pm. And at first it was empty but that didn't make us feel awkward because the staff were attentive without being intimidating. They were very welcoming. We left saying we willl go back when we have more time and appetite and try sitting at a couch instead of the bar.

    The ambience in this place is phenomenal love love the decor…read more Super excited that they are now open for Brunch not too small and not too much just right. Service is fast and fun. Had their egg sandwich on a baguette so good w/ fresh fruit. Plus got to play around w/ my spirit box and chit chat with a few ghostly apparitions

    I came to McCoy's Rum Room while traveling solo in Daytona beach for a weekend (and was staying at…read morethe Hilton). I REALLY enjoyed my experience here. 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! A video of my experience can be found here! https://youtu.be/sCeWWMuhesI?t=632

For some reason I ordered a painkiller that was not exceptional followed by a shot of bourbon whiskey that tasted like garbage and definitely watered down.
