About a half an hour drive south of Ormond Beach to this eatery. Well worth effort. The restaurant is located on th3 Halifax River..great views with a waterfront flavor. Very inclusive menu with all items fairly priced for a beach scene place. For this who want a special treat, they serve Trigger Fish..blackened..yummy. The clam strip basket was loaded with thick clam strips. Service was friendly and fast. Really nice placeT

This was my 2nd visit and this time I brought my wife with me. She ordered the blueberry pancakes and I ordered one of the specials- the âTexas Skillet. â Pancakes were delicious with loads of plump, sweet blueberries. The skillet was extremely filling- an omelette base in a bowl then filled with potatoes, jalapeños, smoked sausage, onions, cheese and their homemade sausage gravy. Wow! Prices are very reasonable, staff are friendly and attentive and the food was great. Cash only, though.

We are a local seafood restaurant located on the famous Sunglow Pier in Daytona Beach. Come sit out on our deck over the ocean and watch the wave roll by, sealife in the water below or even the local surfers enjoying the waves. You wont be disappointed.

Happy hour is 4-6pm but discount only on domestic beers. We did get a couple of draft beers then sat on the covered, open sided porch for dinner. Service was good and food arrived quick. We had the calamari as an appetizer. Really good and platter included lightly fried red peppers and broccoli florets. I had the royal red shrimp (omg!) and hubby had the clam strips andfriedfrieshshrimpshriplatter. Food was delicious.

We've been coming here for several years and have had better meals in the past. Service still good as everyone works as a team. The seafood was a little overcooked - shrimp, fish and oysters. Lots of broccoli came as a side, enough for two servings. Coleslaw was tasty.

We spent one day of our Florida family vacation in the Daytona Beach area. We decided to try Racing's North Turn after a recommendation from our tour guide at the Daytona Speedway race track. We were not disappointed! My husband and son are racing fans, so they enjoyed seeing all of the museum items and memorabilia. The food was great, too! I had the 'catch of the day' sandwich which happened to be orange roughy. It was perfectly battered - just lightly. So good! My husband always orders 'shrimp & grits' at least once when we are down south so that's what he tried here. He said it was delicious! My kids enjoyed their meals, too. Our waitress was very friendly and we enjoyed great service. We would definitely go back if ever in the area again.

We go to Aunt Catfish whenever we are in Daytona Beach. The food is always good and service is top notch. Get there early or you will have a wait. The salad bar is outstanding, as is, the slaw, baked beans, grits, baked apples and cornbread station. These are all you can eat items. I recommend any/all of the shrimp selections on the menu. The dozen fried shrimp is my go to dinner. If you have to park across the street be careful and look both ways. Enjoy a wonderful seafood meal.

In town for a few days so Millie's was our first stop for dinner Saturday night. We both enjoyed grouper with Patty pan squash and rice topped with a balsamic reduction...perfect! Leah, our server, was incredible. We enjoyed our whole dining experience from start to finish. Today we stopped for lunch - a perfect pulled pork sandwich topped with slaw and handmade chips. Owners are always present and the quality of food and service shows that someone's passion is on the menu. Love Millie's!
