Port Orange, Fl Feb 2019 Mulligan’s Grille and Sports Bar if you've been there once it's time to go again. If you haven't yet visited you should. Mulligan, the term, means a do over golf shot, but it also means a stew made from odds and ends. This place is not like the definitions of the word, in fact just the opposite. Tucked away in a strip mall on Nova and Dunlawton in Port Orange the place is fantastic. I stopped in on a random Saturday Afternoon for Lunch and the place was packed. Who knew? We sat at the bar because all the tables were full and this is unusually good news. 2pm Saturday afternoon nothing going on, race week over, something told me I was in for a treat and I was. Service even though it was busy was prompt, and on point, even if surprised at my order. I was hungry. I ordered Ribs and Fries to start. Absolutely outstanding fall off the bone, moist and meaty with the perfect stick to the ribs Tangy Bbq Sauce. I couldn't help but think how I have been missing out. My companion ordered a Taco Salad all I could say is “Huge” Kaboom everything you could think of in a taco right there in a fried Tortilla. Then there's the house salad a simple crispy salad with all the right stuff, it had Red Onion which was nice, I don't see that in a lot of places. For my meal I ordered a special from the Chalk Board, I am from NY and was hungry there was a Pastrami Reuben for under $9.00. Ordered and eaten in NY minute. Perfect with marbled Rye Bread, Mustard, Sauerkraut and the best Pastrami I've had since moving here 10 years ago. The place has nightly Entertainment, Trivia Night an Open Mic Night and Karaoke a local favorite Nightlife activity. They are open 7 days a week, feature a full bar, full menu lunch and dinner, and Happy Hour 11am to 7pm. What a great staff and a warm and welcoming owner. We definitely like this place as a true Behind Daytona find even if it is Behind Port Orange. Mulligans Grille and Sports Bar 3830 S Nova Rd B1 Port Orange, FL 32127 386 788-3268

By Jeff Stolowitz Just another night out and we tried the new Coastal Grill and Raw Bar and we got lucky, Port Orange got Lucky the place is a smash. We tried the Oyster Po Boy perfectly Crispy. Along side that we had a unique starter "Chowder Fries" and we left that picture out because we ate them before we could Snap a picture and yes they are that good. We also sampled the Mac and Cheese and we wiped up the cheese with our fingers, just scrumptious. Then a Porterhouse Pork Chop, I had a foodgasm. To wash it down one kick Ass Mule with Local Copper Bottom Craft Distillery Vodka The Homemade Pickles were to die for The Creme Brulee is executed perfectly. Our Waitress/Mixologist Kristy, we hope that we spelled that right was great. Music by Anthony was Calypsific, yes "Calypsific" is a made up word. Coastal Grill & Raw Bar is different and it is a great addition to the Daytona Beach Area Foodie's scene. We did expect more Seafood but everything was so awesome it really didn't matter. We will be back and highly recommend visiting the establishment. Coastal Grill and Raw Bar 1078 Dunlawton Ave, Port Orange, FL 32127 ADVERTISMENTBy Monty Montgomery In mid-December, Behind Daytona was invited to a special showing of a new service offered by Mellow Mushroom. This great establishment, owned by local resident Robert Hargrave and located in Port Orange, has been a tremendous addition to our area with their beer taps and pizza. Now they are offering catering! Mellow Mushroom has evolved there excellent regular foods into a worthy selection of specialty catered sandwiches and salads. As for what I tested the evening of the introductory showing: Sandwiches we tried CALIFORNIA CLUB Made with all-natural grilled chicken with sun-dried roasted tomato's, applewood smoked bacon, fresh avocado and garlic aioli on multigrain ciabatta. COUNTRY CLUB This was a nice mix of turkey, avocado, crisp romaine lettuce, mayo, tomato, the wow factor, bacon jam and provolone on sliced multigrain. Salads we tried OH, KALE YEAH! They use baby kale and spring mix with fresh avocado, dried cherries, house-made candied pecans and bleu cheese crumbles, served with vinaigrette. CHILL OUT PASTA SALAD Their house-made recipe with spiral pasta, sun-dried roasted tomatoes, fresh spinach, portobello mushrooms, pesto, shaved parmesan tossed with our herb vinaigrette. There were several other options including pizzas to order for this service. The options for Lacto-ovo vegetarian were a pleasant find for catering. Cathryn Keifer is heading the catering side of this venture and it is our opinion that she has hit a home run! If you are planning any event that might want to use catering I cannot recommend Mellow Mushroom enough as this spread was fantastic and professional.

Port Orange In early October 2017, Port Orange was exposed to a wonderful culinary vision, a blend of Venezuelan and Cuban Latino style cuisine. Sazon Latino was opened by Luis Escalona replacing the Cajun style Blue Bayou and is Located on Nova Rd just South of Madeline Ave. in Port Orange. The combination of the two styles is a great example of authenticity you should be prepared for on a culinary journey created by Chef Leivy Manrique. Behind the bar Andres slings regional cocktails like the Mojito, with mastery and flair. Refreshing and crisp you will not be disappointed! The service is attentive and on their game. Sampling Lomo Satado was incredible and let me tell you the sautéd sirloin was fantastic. Another appetizer for was a tasty Cachapa with cheese. Cachapas is traditional Venezuelan dish made from corn. They are popular at roadside stands and can be made like pancakes of fresh corn dough, or wrapped in dry corn leaves and boiled. Coupled with a traditional mojito, I was in heaven. Another dish is the Pabellon Criollo, the shredded beef was savory and with the beans, rice, avocado and sweet plantain came a great balance of flavor. I paired this with a Jalepeno Margarita another masterfully mixed libation. Ultimately this restaurant is something Port Orange needs. Authentic food, like Arepas are enjoyed with great drinks like the Caipirinha a rum lime drink muddled with crushed ice as it's supposed to have. A relaxing atmosphere and a tremendous staff makes this a great new destination eatery. Two thumbs up! Sazon Latino is a must visit. Head over the bridge from the beach, you will be glad you did!
