Doc Bales' Grill

We recently visited Doc Bales for Dinner. Friday and Saturday nite dinner, they do offer a Southern Buffet. It was my Husband’s birthday and our Anniversary, so decided to eat at the Restaurant. The buffet is not really big, but the choices are really all you need. The food was very good and hot. There was a carving station and a southern Cajun Boil. The desert was very good. They actually had my Husband’s favorite cake. I would highly recommend The Hotel and Restaurant.

Excellent food and service. Ask for Signet. He was super attentive and friendly and accommodating to our needs. The omelette station is my favorite. Fresh and made to order just how you like it! There are so many choices in the buffet to choose from ... bacon sausage pancakes fruit grits oatmeal yogurt parfait bagels toast salmon eggs tomatoes and the list goes on. Coffee is steaming and fresh and there’s lovely beach views. Will definitely continue to return for these delicious meals. Update: Another great experience . My server Signet was amazing!!! So attentive and kind. Ask for her! They also have a pancake maker now

If you come here for the service & atmosphere, you'll like it. But, if you come for the food, it may be a disappointing night. *I hope my review is the result of a bad night at this establishment. The fried foods: calamari, catfish, chicken, etc were rubbery. I could not cut it with my knife nor chew it. My waiter stated that they'd replace it w/ a new batch. After waiting over 30 mins., I paid and departed. *Fortunately, they gave me a price reduction due to either rubbery foods or bland foods. *I might as well had gone to Golden Corral. The buffet here was not worth the dollar amount. Again, I hope they were just having one bad night!

My mistake for not posting this sooner. I was here the 1st of August weekend and we dined here for breakfast. I have to start off by saying what a wonderful greeting by Danielle. She is always smiling, so friendly and energetic. We loved having her as our person for 2 mornings. She remembered us and greeted us by name. Wow a wonderful asset to have in your establishment. OK now the food. The buffet was clean, fresh and had a wide variety. I loved the personalized omelet station. The salmon was exceptionally delicious. I don't know what they did but it's by far my favorite ever. I did notice they do dinner buffets as well and I'm going back to try it out. I'm not one for buffets but this one is definitely one to indulge in. You won't be sorry. Again, Danielle I'm sorry for this late review. You rock girl and maybe we will see you again on our next staycation!

This just goes to show you that you cannot judge a place by the reviews. We went here for Easter Brunch and I believe my eyes were bigger than my stomach. The food was wonderful and service was fantastic at Doc Bales' Grill inside the Hilton of Daytona. Our waitress was so very sweet and the hostess was kind also. Overall great experience!
