The daily special was recommended to me by the guy taking my order. He answered all of my questions without any hesitation and giving me his honest feedback. They have a desert that rotates daily and when I was there it was a chocolate banana pie which was excellent. Then I also ordered a large fries to share with my wife and her friend and that bag was stuffed to the top with fries. They were amazing fries and I saw the peeling and cutting them in house. The ambiance was very much a beach vibe. It was a cute place that you could go to in your swim suits and no one would notice. I would definitely check out Paco subs again next time I'm in NSB

Found an absolute gem at Paco's Subs & Seafood in New Smyrna Beach…read more We ordered the local seafood basket, the Clayton, and the Paco burger and everything was seriously impressive. The seafood was fresh and perfectly cooked, the Clayton was loaded and full of flavor, and the Paco burger was easily one of the best burgers I've had in a long time. You can tell they care about the quality of what they're serving. What really stood out though was the owner. He took the time to talk with us, was incredibly kind, and even gave my kids some free stickers which made their day. That kind of genuine hospitality sticks with you. Great food, great people, and a place that clearly takes pride in what they do. We'll absolutely be back next time we're in town.

Dinner plans the other night started the way many great family evenings do--complete confusion and…read moremild hunger-induced panic. We had company over, and the original plan was our classic "let's see what's hiding in the freezer and pretend it was intentional" dinner strategy. Unfortunately, reality set in. My wife was exhausted, and I have to admit something publicly: I'm only a competent cook under two conditions--ample prep time and my beloved Instant Pot. Remove either of those variables and my culinary skills quickly resemble a survival cooking show. I wasn't quite ready to debut my "experimental freezer casserole surprise" for guests. So the family meeting began. Chinese food? Nope--someone just had it. Pizza? Also no--apparently that was last night's adventure. Burgers? Absolutely not. One of the teens dramatically declared, "Not today, Satan." Then, out of nowhere, a teenager casually drops a suggestion that stopped the room: "Barbecue from a place called Crave." Barbecue? Interesting. But... none of us had ever heard of this place. Naturally, the next question was: Where is it? And that's when the real twist arrived. Apparently Crave Hot Dogs & BBQ is inside Walmart Supercenter. Yes. Inside Walmart. At this point I was convinced the teenager had been scrolling too much TikTok. A barbecue restaurant... in Walmart? I had to see this with my own eyes. So off we went. Sure enough, tucked right inside the store was this little barbecue spot that looked like it had no business being that good. The smell alone should have been illegal to pump into a retail environment. You walk in expecting to buy paper towels and leave smelling like you just visited a smokehouse in Texas. And the food? Surprisingly fantastic. The barbecue had that smoky flavor that makes you pause mid-bite and say, "Okay... hold on... this is actually really good." The portions were generous, the menu had plenty of options, and somehow the whole thing managed to feel both fast and freshly made. The real miracle of the evening was that everyone--kids, guests, and the exhausted adults--walked away happy and full. No experimental freezer meals were required, and my reputation as a "competent host" lived to see another day. Final verdict: If someone tells you there's legit barbecue inside Walmart, don't argue--go investigate. You might walk in skeptical, but you'll probably walk out full, impressed, and wondering how you discovered a hidden barbecue joint in the same place you buy laundry detergent.

We all know that the service experience, when top notch, enhances the experience. - the uniqueness of the concept - is this a place, where visiting guests would love? So I have to admit that I am embarrassed that last night was my first time to go to BISTRO 424 with my partner in crime, fellow foodie, and lovely amazing wife Janie Skidmore Panasis who owns Janie's Boutique! We kept looking at each other and asking "how have we missed this place?" First off, the menu is colossal, and varied, but in our opinion, this is a bistro that has influences from Italy, and Germany or Poland maybe. The hostess was great and found us a table inside. Our server was Sydney and she was awesome. I ordered the lasagna ($20) and Janie ordered the eggplant Parmesan sandwich ($16) and both came with a side salad and we ordered with their popular lemon vinaigrette. The salads were huge, and fresh and the dressing tasted homemade and was perfect. Clean and crisp. Janie loved her sandwich and it was so much that she took half home. The lasagna...OMG, I asked the server to find out if they cooked it in the pizza oven, as it was presented as if it came out of a very hot cooking appliance. It turns out it did go in with the pizzas, and so the cheese on top was very lightly charred and sooo good. The combination of sausage and beef in the lasagna was complex and seasoned perfectly. The pasta and the cheese combined with the meat and Parmesan really set this dish off. Served steaming hot. This was the best lasagna that I have ever had. We will definitely be back. There were a number of items we want to try. Great job Bistro 424!!

It was cold by Florida standards, so we sat inside at a high-top table, where the cheap industrial metal stools need to be replaced with something more comfortable. We ordered dinner with very mixed results: Cobb salad: The fried shallots were beautiful, nice balance of ingredients. (Happiness) Crab stuffed mahi: Another hit. Pistachio crusted salmon. Meh- wouldn't order again. Chicken parmesan. An absolute disaster. The chicken was so severely overcooked to be inedible. The bread crumb crust was blackened to the point of being a solid, impenetrable shield. Had to search out the server to get her attention, and sent the meal back. She asked if I wanted something else, but I asked for another chicken parm cooked properly. It took a while, and I got another try at the chicken - still overcooked, still blackened, but this attempt was somewhat edible. I am not a fussy diner. I rarely send food back to the kitchen. On the rare occasion I have a problem and send something back, someone from the management team wanders by and inquires about the dining experience. That didn't happen at Bistro 424, leaving this review space as the only way to inform management of the significant problems in the kitchen. Final rating: two stars. Some of the food is excellent, but there are severe quality control issues when inedible food is allowed to leave the kitchen. Your experience will vary.

And then there's the frozen custard. I'm not usually an ice cream person because it tends to upset my stomach, but for some reason Culver's frozen custard doesn't bother me at all. I've loved every flavor I've tried, but the chocolate one, the one that feels like multiple kinds of chocolate all mixed together, was easily my favorite. Absolute perfection. What really surprised me is how clean and well run everything is. Ordering is fast and efficient, the staff is friendly and welcoming, and the prices are equal to or even cheaper than places like McDonald's lately, but with noticeably fresher and better-tasting ingredients.
