Really yummy and huge portions! We shared a huge chicken parm and our friends good a burger and soup. The servers were so nice and very attentive. The building was standalone, which is great for parking and it was kind of that old school floor vibe inside. We went during Daytona bike week and I have a feeling next year. Will try it again.. read more

Well, well, well. What a great surprise! Service, food, and atmosphere was all on point! We came in on a sunday for brunch i wish I could remember our waitresses because she was awesome. When we first moved to Daytona Beach we were a little concerned we wouldn't find a lot of great restaurant. But we've been happily surprised that there are so many fine establishments , and this is one of them. From the complimentary bread to the crispy chicken and mash potatoes everything was awesome. The only screw up was they put the wrong cheese on the burger, but they made that better by bringing the right cheese with two extra slices (even though they offered to make it the way we requested!) Will we be back? Heck, yeah!!!! read more

First, I wished I could remember the waiters name I wanna say Mike maybe? Slender little bit of facial hair, darker hair wearing a black shirt. He was a riot just as nice and friendliest can be! Gotta start with that truly made us feel valued. When you walk in, you can tell this as a family owned establishment by the atmosphere. That is exactly what we were looking - something local owned and preferably family owned. When you walk in, you're made to feel like Family, and that is excellent! The food wow the portions are humongous. I have to start with that. You definitely will not leave here hungry! The corn beef was fresh. I wished it had more onion and some bell pepper, but it was still great. I sampled the chicken salad and that was out of this world and the hamburger looked fantastic. As we were leaving, they had just put out muffins and cinnamon rolls. What a tremendous tease! Here it is Passover so I cannot have it and pistachio muffins are my favorite and they looked phenomenal. I was so tempted to break Passover so early for the looks of that muffin, but I knew it was a test that I had to pass. That was not easy! This was definitely worth the drive and the value for the dollar! Next time I am in Daytona, I will be visiting again and Katie bar the door if there are no pistachio muffins, ha ha ha they were even warm! read more

I'm writing because I was extremely disappointed with the breakfast we received from Steve's Famous Diner this morning. I ordered eggs over easy with scrapple, home fries, and toast. The eggs were not prepared properly--the yolks were already broken and there really wasn't any runny yolk left, which is the whole point of ordering them over easy. The scrapple was also supposed to be crispy, but instead it was soft and placed underneath the eggs, which made the texture even worse. The toast and home fries were good, but unfortunately those were about the only parts of the meal I enjoyed. More than half of the meal was below average and not prepared the way it was ordered. What makes this especially frustrating is that this is now the third time I've ordered from Steve's and had my food come out incorrectly. At some point, it stops feeling like an occasional mistake and starts feeling like a quality-control problem. On top of that, shortly after eating the meal this morning, I developed diarrhea. I obviously can't say with certainty what caused that, but considering the timing, it added to an already very disappointing experience. I'm not someone who expects perfection every single time, but after three disappointing orders, I think it's reasonable to expect the restaurant to address the repeated problems with food preparation and quality. I would appreciate hearing from management about how you intend to make this right. read more

The food here is so good we didn't eat anywhere else. The portions are HUGE! They have the best stuffed green peppers I've ever had. You get two huge peppers stuffed to overflowing served with green beans and the best mashed potatoes I've ever had. They are known for their home baked bread - each slice was about 2-3 inches thick! Service is friendly and fast. Came back for breakfast $5 special - 2 eggs, 2 thick bacon pieces, creamy grits and a huge piece of toast on steroids. No joke the slice was at least 8 inches. This is a must try for diner food. read more

Run of the mill choke and puke truck stop and its expensive. One person regular breakfast cost almost $25 bucks. Nothing to rave about seams like you wish you stayed home and made it yourself. Its a local yokel joint, they are all the 5 star reviews you see here........ read more

Donna was the absolute best, she was zipping around and making sure all her tables were happy. she was prebussing and while a table would be sat immediately she would be greeting them while also making sure everyone else was good. super impressed. read more

We try to go here every time we come to Daytona and this trip was no exception. We went for breakfast before leaving town this morning and as usual everything was great! Servers were nice, service was prompt and food arrived exactly as ordered and quickly. We got some pie to take with us, and on the recommendation of our server, he said the Key Lime Pie was the best he had tasted, he was right. Highly Recommend this place! read more

While the service was good the portions were very small. Which would have been fine if the food was good quality and not undercooked.

Food was good, but prices were high. We will have to give them another try next year.

Man-o-man this is my kind of diner! It has a great hometown feel, you get a lot for your money, the staff are attentive and friendly, and most if not all the food is made right here in the restaurant; excellent! The food overload begins the moment you walk in the door. Staff just finished baking a slew of scones, muffins, and cookies that filled the dining room air with a delicious, freshly baked, sweet aroma. Upon entering you will find a display case with a variety of delicious cakes and pies to close out your meal or to take-home for later. We were promptly seated by server Donna L.; she was awesome and took great care of us. We explained to her this was our first time here and she took the time to go over several of the menu items for us. We decided on two dinner specials which comes with a choice of soup and homemade bread. Donna delivered our soup and bread a few minutes after placing our order. There are two soup options available so we picked one of each, the Beef Barley and Creamy Lemon Chicken. Both were excellent, yet we both agreed the Creamy Lemon Chicken was our favorite. The Bread is on another level and is amazing! It's a freshly made and warmed white bread but the slices are huge and thick, biggest I have ever been served. I slathered warmed butter all over mine and seasoned it with salt and pepper before dunking it in the soup. It was a major win coming here just for this bread and soup, I might just have this as my meal next time, damn!! When our meals arrived, I knew that there was no way I was going to finish it in one sitting. Could I have done it? Yes, but I wouldn't have made it to the Bandshell to see the American Stones without my insulin overload putting me down for the count first. Nancy chose the Roasted Turkey and Dressing ($15), which is basically like Thanksgiving dinner. I chose the Yankee Pot Roast ($14). Both options came with mashed potatoes and green beans. The food was delicious, hot, and exactly what a homestyle diner meal should be. Lots of mashed potatoes, green beans, meat, and gravy, no skimping here. We saved room for dessert, went with Donna's recommendation and chose the Chocolate Cream Pie ($7) to share. It was a large slice, very chocolaty, creamy, and delicious. I would definitely order this next go-around. The two meals and a slice of pie came to a total of $40.96 minus tip, which isn't bad for all the food we received. Yes, we might be able to get more at a buffet, but it won't be from scratch like it is here. The only thing that's probably 100% from scratch is the mashed potatoes and gravies. I could be wrong but I swear I could taste potato peal instant potato mix in with the mashed potatoes. I seen skins, so I know some of it was real, but I have seen where restaurants use a mix of the two to make them creamier. I was forced to used them many moons ago at Howard Johnsons, and they just have an unforgettable taste/texture to them. Also, a dark gravy like the one used on the pot roast usually comes from a premix since it can take hours or days to prepare a dark brown gravy or demi-glace. Not trying to beat them up but just something I noticed. All-in-all, Steve's is a great diner. I have been riding by this place for years and am now kicking myself for not stopping in sooner. If you are in the area and have a hankering for some delicious diner food. I highly recommend you check them out. read more

Wow. We came here on a Saturday around 5 pm. The place was not packed and we got a nice table. Our server Donna was super nice. We told her this was our first time. I got the turkey dinner with dressing and mashed potatoes green beans and cranberry sauce. Oh do good. My husband got the pot roast. Each dinner comes with a soup. We got the beef and barley and the creamy lemon chicken rice soup that was delicious. The meal also comes with homemade white bread cut thick with butter. I also tried their coffee it was pretty good I drank three cups. We finished the meal off with a slice of chocolate cream pie that was scrumptious, lots of chocolate flavor in the cream fluffy part was so good. They also have all kinds of baked goods. Plenty of parking. Restaurant is right near the beach. We will come again! read more

Steve's used to be one of our favorite go to places near Daytona beach. This time was disappointing to say the least. Our server was at the best disinterested that we were there. We sat with empty coffee cups until asking for more coffee, then disappeared again until we walked to the front and asked to pay our bill and the other waitress went to find her. No jelly for toast, not was it offered or us asked. Very disappointing and won't be back. read more

Steve's Famous Diner has the best food! Especially love the breakfasts! Great service. I had a pretty server named Cindy and she treated us like we were famous. I'm so grateful to Cindy for making us feel so welcome. read more

I love Steve's on Atlantic Avenue, they give you a good amount of food for the prices. My favorite, every time I go in, until 2:00 p.m.,, is the shrimp and cheese grits. The shrimps are giant and plentiful, and are absolutely great. I've had dinner here before, and it seems to be like home cooking along with their fresh baked breads they make daily. I don't think you can make a mistake dining here. read more

A classic for locals. Steve's is a great place for an affordable meal, classic American diner food, large portions, and good service. No kids menu for breakfast, but I ordered Steve's Deluxe Breakfast, and added chocolate chips to the pancakes for my son. I still had plenty of food to eat. I also tried the pistachio muffins. SO good. read more

Lived here for 3 years and today was the first time I tried Steve's famous Diner‼ Our wonderful waiter was named Steve as well. We had a hard time deciding on what to order, everything, not to mention the huge list of desserts, sounded FAB. We decided to split the pot roast dinner and we tried both soups split pea and chicken orzo ! Then got an orange dream sickle slice of cake for later ! The fresh baked bread OH MAN D'Lish ‼ read more

Very nice experience. I always enjoy Steve's on the beach when visiting the area. Very friendly casual diner like food. I ordered the fried shrimp and fries which were great. The shrimp were large and tasty. I miss the broiled shrimp they used to have on the menu as I would have much preferred that to fried. Our server was professional and dinner was well paced. The bread is always something to rave about here. And save room for dessert too! read more

My wife and I decided to try Steve's for breakfast yesterday. My over-medium eggs were served very runny, they did not have whole wheat toast or honey or Splenda to sweeten my coffee or my wife's tea. The homemade bread is over-rated. The menu choices are extremely limited IMO. The service was nothing to write home about either. Their best days are clearly behind them. Sadly, we will never return. read more

Service was good . Been there before a few times years back food was ok. Went today ordered the fried chicken worst fried chicken ever and that's including tv dinner fried chicken.hardly any coating and way under cooked wasn't crispy at all, just very oily. read more

I get that it's bike week. I rode down to Beachside to see Jeep week and I thought I'd stop and have some fish and chips at Steve's. The place was full. There were two tables that people had just left. I've been standing there probably for 10 or 15 minutes and nobody came out and then this white couple comes up and they're standing there. I'm in front of them. The dogs are in the bike outside and so I'm waiting. I knew what I wanted. I had the menu in my hand. The lady finally walked up there and walked in and says oh let me see all these people and I'll get back to you. I told her I just wanna order something to go and she said well yeah let me just see everybody and I said " I was here first" and she proceeded to tell me she was going to seat everybody so I walked out. The food might be good but putting me last after I was there first. Nope, they lost a good customer. I bring friends when a place is good. And we all tip well. read more

OMG this\n Is a family owned business? It is beautiful. The Sun came out and greeted me. The food is fantastic. It's homemade. Oh, my God, my mouth is watering just talking about it if you come to Daytona, please let this be one of your places to stop and get a good home cooked meal at a very reasonable rate. You will not be sorry. I promise you, the food is great, the service is great. The obviousness is great. I mean, it's more than I could ask for II left with a smile on my face. Good home cooked wholesome food at a reasonable price can't beat it! I went today for breakfast, and I will be frequent in this place a lot while II am here, the corned beef hash was homemade, I've never tasted corned, beef has that good before. Oh, my God, you haven't had corned beef hash until you taste this rest around corned, beef. Haash and the pancakes get out, they're the best.

Steve's Famous Diner - The Restaurant and me! - Diners Near Me - Daytona Beach, Florida

Food was excellent! No wonder this place is always packed! Loved it and would recommend it to anyone

I've become a regular customer, just like everyone else there. They have a variety of foods to choose from and they're pretty good portions for good prices. Everything i tried has been very good. Tuesdays and Fridays they have $8 dinner specials, which you NEVER see anymore. Every meal you get comes with a bowl of freshly baked bread and every lunch and dinner comes with your choice of soup. They have a large variety of desserts and give generous portions at good prices. It's been owned by family for generations. When you go in you'll see the owner working right along with everyone else. It amazes me to see such a young woman have such a successful restaurant and the family feel flows through the whole place. They're always busy but your food and service aren't affected. You'll definitely enjoy! (Yelp says it has ocean views but the ocean is about a 15 minute drive away. The only view you'll have is the parking lot.) read more

We used to go to Steve's maybe twice a month. The last few visits the food has been sub par and the place smells like burnt grease. The bread is still good as is the beef barley soup but we are done for now. read more

The staff, service and food-- all delicious. The scrambled eggs and potatoes are outstanding. The complimentary bread and butter were fantastic. The banana nut muffin was amazing. read more

Food was only so-so, the service was not very helpful. Felt like the server thought he knew better than me and wasn't helpful at least to start. Got better as time went on but the food still didn't make up for the hype. This was our first time at this location. Probably won't be back. read more

we went this morning. There were more than five servers standing around. One lady gave us menus. We asked for water and she said Ann will be with us. After 10 minutes, nothing no water as, every server walked past our booth in a restaurant almost empty. They win for worst service. We left. read more

So glad we gave this restaurant another chance today! We had the best waitress EVER! Sourpuss face from NY who was our previous waitress wasn't even in the building! Food was absolutely delicious and amazing! Portion sizes for the price were mind boggling. The beef barely soup was one of the best homemade soups I've ever had. Everything was INCREDIBLE! Beautiful and friendly waitress with first class customer service, scrumptiously delicious food like my Grandmother was in the kitchen making it with love and genuinely happy fellow diners engaged in lively conversations. Best food for the value in all of Volusia County! read more

What a delight. A true diner and I honestly have never seen such a huge patty melt. We had the friendliest waitress who was an absolute joy to chat with at lunch.

We didn't think the food tasted good. We got the biscuits and gravy my husband liked it because he was raised on bland hamburger gravy but myself and my son didn't like it. My omelet that I paid a premium for more than other places had little meat in it and all uncooked vegetables. The pancakes ok but nothing to write home about. I make lists of places I like to revisit and this one was a no for me. Also I picked up the salt shaker felt so nasty because it had probably never been cleaned. And lastly this was a Sunday morning and other places were packed but not this one I should've known better. read more

On this year's 'non-traditional' Christmas, we found yet another diner that not only served on the holiday, but was worth visiting any other time of year. Steve's Famous Diner is on North Atlantic in Daytona Beach and it had a sign that said it was open on Christmas Day. The restaurant was filled with kitschy memorabilia featuring prior Greek owner, Steve Mavronas. As we saw in numerous places during our stay, this joint had it all: friendly waitstaff, prompt service and huge portions! DH and I just couldn't believe our luck. He ordered the pot roast special and I had the fish and chips. Our first course was soup; DH had the Beef barley and I had the Greek lemon chicken soup (avgolemono). The avgolemono was new to me and an absolute delight. When the plates with our main courses were delivered we couldn't believe our eyes. After the first few bites, we couldn't believe our tastebuds. The food was plentiful, delicious and made for great leftovers the next day. Well, at least mine did. We're great fans of the Daytona Beach area and Steve's Famous Diner is now among the list of reasons. Drop in if you can. read more

Stopped by over the weekend, a tv dinner would have tasted better. It's just not the same at all. I still remember the later 90's, and between 2000-2019. It was still decent, but we quit going there because the food was changing, then after Covid, it has really changed. Service was good, a little slow for what we had, not her fault the kitchen was very slow. It needs to have a thorough cleaning. read more

Everything went well at Steve's this morning. A friend had a giant breakfast of 3 good size pancakes, crisp full size bacon (not the shaved kind that burns quickly or falls apart because it's so thin and 2 eggs. I had a spinach and Swiss omelet (cooked perfectly) creamy and very tasty grits and a biscuit. Our waitress was fun, efficient and checked back at just the right time. The dinner menu looked great and we will try that out very soon. The ambiance is ok. It's a diner so why waste $$ on fab decor? It's clean with an ama8'g dessert case. I am glad I went. I will go back soon read more
