Aunt Catfish's On the River

My family and travel to Daytona every year for the Christmas holiday and it's been a tradition for the past 6 years. Visiting loved ones down south in a warmer environment then what we have in NC around winter. Stumbled on this hidden gem of a restaurant this time around in Port Orange. The food was phenomenal and service was excellent. Very knowledgeable server and very attentive to our needs. The food choices he suggested us try turn out to be a hit for our family of 4. The portion sizes were not to much and I must say please try the homemade cinnamon rolls they offer if you choose the buffet options.

The food was fresh and tasty. We had catfish of course along with some of the free cinnamon rolls. The staff was very friendly and attentive. The atmosphere was great especially seeing all the lights at night. It also had several photo friendly areas for us.

We have not been to Aunt Catfish's for years and found ourselves in Pt. Orange and hungry at lunchtime. The food was really good, loved the fixin' and bakery bar included with a lot if the meals. We each ordered the $10.99 fried fish basket with fries. Super fresh fish, it was curling up on both ends. Fries were cooked exactly as we requested, and the waitress was attentive and sweet. It was happy hour, so hubby got a 1/2 priced Bloody Mary, he said it was really tasty too, just needed a bit of salt to make it perfect. I was the DD, so I drank water. Go and enjoy the real taste of Florida at great prices. Happy hour (2-4pm) also includes 1/2 price appetizers. (My faves are fried Gator tail) I'll be back soon for those.

This quaint restaurant was beautiful and family friendly. It seemed like the go-to spot for Sunday brunch. Guests had the option of indoor or patio seating. I love the view of the water. The food was delicious! Don't judge my pancake because it was really good despite how it looks. Everything was delicious and everyone made you feel at home.. This place will be on my favorite brunch spots whenever I'm visiting.

I am down here visiting my family, so it was my first time coming here and I enjoyed it! I came with my sisters who have been here before! The view was beautiful,sitting on the water! The food was delicious! Enjoyed watching them make the homemade cinnamon rolls! The cousins(as they are called in here) are very friendly! I would come back again! Our waitress was cousin Ella she was very sweet!
