Coastal Comfort Dining Near Daytona’s Music Scene

Just steps from the beach and a short walk from Daytona Beach’s top concert venues, The Abalone offers a relaxed American dining experience with a coastal twist. Known for its laid-back vibe, friendly service, and approachable menu, this casual spot is perfect for fueling up before catching your favorite artist or winding down after the show.

Why Concert-goers love it

Location is everything, and The Abalone nails it—just minutes from major live music venues, it’s an easy stop before or after a show. The atmosphere is casual and upbeat, with quick service that gets you in and out without stress. Many guests noted that the noise level is moderate, so you can still chat with friends without shouting. Plus, the classic American menu is crowd-pleasing and comforting—think burgers, seafood, and solid cocktails.

  • Groups of friends looking for a chill, tasty place to hang before the concert
  • Solo travelers hoping to sit at the bar and enjoy a meal without fuss

What People Say

Reviewers love the fresh seafood dishes, especially the shrimp and scallops, and mention the well-priced drinks. Many note it’s a go-to spot before concerts thanks to its speed and proximity. The casual outdoor seating also gets a shoutout for its beachy vibe.

Areas for Improvement

Some visitors mention that the decor could use a refresh—it’s more about comfort than style. During peak hours, there can be a short wait, so arriving a little earlier than usual on concert nights is a smart move.
