I've heard nothing but amazing things about BakeChop in DeLand (110 Artisan Aly, right in the heart…read moreof downtown), so I finally had to check it out--and wow, it lived up to every bit of the hype and then some! This scratch kitchen spot has quickly become one of my favorite places in town, and after our recent visit, my guests and I were all blown away. The food was absolutely amazing, impressing everyone at the table so much that we're already planning our next trip back--definitely going to be regulars from here on out. Everything is made from scratch with fresh, high-quality ingredients, and you can taste the care and love that goes into each dish. Their menu is creative and diverse--think insanely good hand-crafted sandwiches, burgers that are huge and perfectly executed (juicy patties on toasted buns, cooked exactly to order with complex, flavorful toppings), hearty salads, quiches, sloppy joes, and daily specials that keep things exciting. We tried a mix of items, and nothing disappointed; flavors were bold, portions generous, and every bite was packed with that homemade goodness. The homemade desserts and rocking sweets are worth saving room for too--they're the perfect finish to an already stellar meal. The vibe is cozy and welcoming--cute little spot with indoor/outdoor seating, great service that's attentive and friendly (staff makes you feel like family right away), and it's in such a charming part of Artisan Alley next to the brewery, perfect for a casual lunch, dinner, or just hanging out. They even offer delivery and catering if you want to bring that magic home or to an event. BakeChop is the real deal--a local gem putting heart into food, family, friends, and good times. If you're in DeLand and haven't been yet, stop waiting and go try it. You won't be disappointed; we'll be back often for sure! Highly recommend calling (386) 873-6524 or checking bakechop.com for the menu and hours. Keep up the incredible work, team! 1computeroutlet , 1websitenow

All the positive reviews led me here for lunch when visiting the city with my mom. This restaurant…read moresits in the heart of downtown Deland amongst alot of shops. There was a market going on that we enjoyed exploring on our way over to the restaurant. It's not very big on the inside but does have tables inside and out. The inside is open allowing you views into the kitchen area. I ordered the Allicin Burger which is a beef burger with french onion reduction, crispy onion straws, swiss cheese, and garlic aioli. The meat was very juicy and flavorful. I enjoyed all the onions. It made for a solid meal. The old bay potato chips were a good pairing for the burger. My mom ordered a more traditional burger and she liked it. I noticed the bakery item display and it had a good selection. I deducted 1 star for customer service. While the food was very good, the service did not feel warm. Our server felt very cold and was short with us. She never once cracked a smile and it almost felt like we might have been bothering her by just being there. I wish we had a friendly server because it would have made the experience much more enjoyable.

We often get the octopus appetizer because it is tender. It is fresh and it is perfectly balanced. Octopus is a dish that requires quite a bit of finesse and preparing and Santorini? They do it very well! Most all of their dishes are prepared in the traditional Greek way, which we adore every time we dine there it transports us to the Greek Isles. This dining gem is not to be missed when you're in DeLand.

I got a random craving for a buffalo chicken wrap so I googled "buffalo chicken wraps near me" and…read morethis was the second option that popped up. I ordered, a buffalo chicken wrap, shocker lol and my husband got a hot Italian sub. Let's just say this man was so happy with his sub and blushed the whole time eating it. We're both from MA and had a pizza place near us that had 2 items we have never found a replacement for in the 10 years we've been here; their pizza and their Italian subs. Until today. The bread was perfectly soft on the inside but had a good crunch on the outside. The meats were super fresh and perfectly toasted. And completed with a good dollop of mayo on top! 1000/10 for that Italian sub My Buffalo wrap was amazing as well! A good amount of chicken, and buffalo sauce which made me happy because those 2 ingredients can make or break it. Either they put too much sauce or not enough chicken. Not here. 10/10 BCR

As their name suggests, wraps appeared to be their specialty. Customers order at the counter. The staff was pleasant and friendly. They brought our food to our table when it was ready. We selected the Southwest Veggie wrap. It was a combination of fresh greens, salsa, tomato, avocado, onion, and bell pepper wrapped in a green spinach tortilla. It included chipotle dressing that added a little heat. It hit the spot. The food was brought quickly to our table. There were larger tables in the lobby. Overall, we were pleased with this experience.

The Diavola had a nice kick and felt a little adventurous in a good way. The Pepperoni was solid and reliable, exactly what you expect. Now the calzone... not for me. I was expecting a classic cheese-forward situation, but this was more of a chaotic mash-up of ingredients that didn't quite come together. Felt like a pizza identity crisis folded in half. The crust is worth noting, it has that cornmeal-style texture. If you like a slightly gritty, rustic bite, you'll be into it. Overall, good flavor, just know what you're ordering. Next time, I'm sticking to the pizzas and leaving the calzone in the box.

Only 2 of the 8 of us were from Deland but everyone agreed that we're returning to Urban Brick for our next celebration in May! My advice: Go often. Taste every item on the menu. Take your friends & relations. Hire a personal trainer & move to Deland! Urban Brick is worth it!

The outside seats were full and the sidewalk packed with spectators. The dining was empty so we had our pick of seats. We were greeted promptly and our server gave us plenty of time to review the menu while catching up. Our drinks were served quickly-I got a glass of sangria which was crisp and light, not overly sweet. The food was freshly prepared and served hot. Everyone raved about their choices. I got the vegan enchiladas and my husband got the nachos. Both were delicious. The enchiladas were topped with fresh shredded cabbage and tomatoes which gave enchiladas a nice crunch in each bite. The nachos were light-not overly drenched in cheese or cheese sauce like you find in most pubs nowadays. You could taste the vegetables. The dining room is cozy with a good view of the street. Everyone we spoke with was friendly and welcoming. If our vacation plans bring us to Deland again, I know they will include a visit to De laVega.

I was practically drooling at the thought of heading to my beloved local Chick-fil-A after googling that Chick-fil-A gives a free sandwich in honor of military service. I mean, who doesn't want to celebrate with a delicious chicken sandwich? But when I arrived, I was met with the shocking news: "Sorry, we don't participate in honoring veterans on Veterans Day." Wait, what? I felt like I'd just been told that Santa doesn't deliver presents because he's on a diet. So here I am, contemplating a road trip to find a Chick-fil-A that actually appreciates my sacrifices. I guess I'll be driving to the next town over, armed with my military ID and a hunger that can only be satisfied by that crispy fried goodness. Thanks, Chick-fil-A, for turning my holiday feast into a wild goose chase--next time, I'll bring a map and a snack!

Hospitality was top notch. We had a reservation and were sat right away at a table near the kitchen. I love when you can see into the kitchen and watch everything. You know that's a restaurant that trusts what they make and has nothing to hide. Our server was AMAZING. He was the kindest guy and constantly made sure we had everything we needed. He made our night with his fun energy. The food was phenomenal. The restaurant provides elevated boiled peanuts on the table to snack. The flavor was great. I ordered the jumbo lump crab cakes that comes with 2 decent size crab cakes packed with crab meat. As sides, I ordered the caesar brussels and potatoes. The sides were great and the potatoes were a combination of different potatoes which I liked. My mom had the chicken and dumplings and she had rave reviews to give. This is a great spot for a date night, a place to make a dinner feel more elevated, or to celebrate something. Thank you for the great experience and service.
