Fords Garage St. Pete - (Near St. Petersburg, FL)

C Michael Harrer As a DJ of 34 years, I’ve had the privilege of performing at countless venues — and I’m thrilled to now be hosting Sunday Karaoke at Salty D’s Beachside here in Ormond Beach. After my first night, I can confidently say this place is something special! The setup for entertainment is fantastic, but what really stood out to me was the staff. Ocean, Jay, and Matt were hustling behind the bar serving drinks all night, yet still made time to ensure I had everything I needed for a successful show. That level of teamwork goes a long way. And then there’s Dee — the owner and the heartbeat of the place. Her energy is contagious! She’s fun, positive, and truly hands-on. Even with a full staff, she jumped behind the bar, helped in the kitchen, and supported her team every step of the way. The smiles on everyone’s faces said it all. Important Note: I’m not writing this just because I’m working here. There are hundreds of venues across the Daytona area where DJs can perform, and I rarely post reviews. But Salty D’s and Dee made me feel welcome from the very first moment — it just felt right. If you’re looking for great vibes, great people, and great times… Salty D’s Beachside is a must-visit!

Erin D Ordered a burger with avocado and fried egg that has glazed balsamic dressing, with maduros ( sweet plantains) on the side. Food quality was excellent. I just wanted to give praise to the restraint staff and manager as everyone seemed to genuinely enjoy their job and seemed happy. Charlie S. Was knowledgeable and attentive without hovering and helped my husband navigate the menu. My husband had also thoroughly enjoyed his burger with guava BBQ sauce, cheese and potato straws with sweet potatoes on the side with savory seasonings. He got the plantain bread pudding that had whipped cream and caramel sauce. The coleslaw had its very own delicious unique flavor. The highlight of the whole place was the antique ship decor placed around the restaurant and photos of Hemingway himself. On the way out a staff member informed us that the candles on display were being sold by a local merchant and are refillable. This is now a new favorite restaurant.

James Rathbun The smoked chicken was heavenly! The barbecue sauces were so good it was hard to decide, so I use them all. Service was excellent. We drive over a thousand miles to come to the area and this is a must-go place

Kenneth Smith I would say that the food here is sublime, Quesadilla and Shrimp Poboy was impeccable and so the the service. Highly Recommended. Kenneth Smith SignaPay SE Skytab POS.

Jason G Very friendly services, good atmosphere, I don’t know if I just wasn’t very hungry or hot and more thirsty, but the brisket sandwich was nothing to write home about. The Brunswick Stew was the bomb though.

Noel Guilianotti Where to start? How about COFFEE! These folks have leveled up on espresso creation with the right equipment and coffee. Top notch for coffee connoisseurs with reasonable pricing. Now the FOOD: it is a unique treat. Highly recommend the pimento cheese option. Everything is scratch baked, so you can pick the wrong thing. Try several if visiting.
