Hamburger Mary's Is in Town

Get ready for fun and good food! Hamburger Mary’s is in Daytona Beach! The iconic restaurant – open-air bar and grille for open-minded people – has taken up business on Beach Street. 

The first Hamburger Mary’s opened in San Francisco in 1972. Hamburger Mary’s International is now co-headquartered in West Hollywood, California, and Chicago, Illinois. So you can see – Daytona Beach has joined the ranks of this most famous eatery.

Of course, there is more to Hamburger Mary’s than just hamburgers. They offer a full lunch and dinner menu including our famous homemade chili, soups, garden-fresh salads, appetizers, substantial sandwiches, home-cooked entrees, and comforting desserts (featuring Deep-Fried Twinkies and Mary Tyler S’Mores!) And don’t forget about weekend “Mimosa Brunch!”

Don’t think that the fun stops at the clever menu items and décor. Oh no, a trip to Hamburger Mary’s is all about the experience. And Mary knows how to entertain! Each location boasts a full service. Every day of the week evening entertainment is offered such as MaryOke, HamBINGO, weekend DJs, and drag shows. 

Mary also likes to mix a good time with a good cause. One thing that sets Hamburger Mary’s apart from other restaurants is their commitment to supporting their communities. Charity bingo events (Dirty Bingo) and fundraisers sponsor local athletic leagues and theatre troops. Hamburger Mary’s does its part to give back to its surrounding neighborhood.

More Fine Dining in Port Orange?

Creative Florida Living is bringing you another “hidden treasure” in the Greater Daytona Beach Area. Though we don’t have the conveniences and availabilities of big city living, we do have our own gems here – in fact, quite a few. 

Owner-run restaurants usually offer unique dishes, often with local flair. Adam’s Kitchen is no exception. Read on to find out what culinary treasures you can find in Port Orange!

Adam Steinman has been the executive chef for many prestigious events and upscale restaurants in different parts of the US. He has taken his years of experience with various cuisines and opened up Adam’s Kitchen where he can showcase his culinary style in a friendly upscale atmosphere with an assortment of dishes ranging from his style of comfort food to fresh seafood, ribs and steaks.

For breakfast you can enjoy the classic Eggs Benedict, Southern chicken and waffles, burritos, and all other favorite breakfast foods and very reasonable prices.

Lunch serves up Angus beef burgers, very interesting sandwiches and salads, as well as soup and chile. 

This is a restaurant for people who really love food, and who want to try different things. Therefore the menu changes every week for dinner.

In the evening, Chef Adam brings out the big guns with unique and elegant fare. Start off with tuna guacamole or fresh corn cakes. Move on to Boursin and praline crusted half rack of lamb (OMG!), panko and chili lime crusted silk snapper filet, or other mouthwatering entrees. Wrap up the meal with limoncello mascarpone torte or other equally delicious sweet delights.

And yes, this is in Port Orange, on Nova Road. Visit the website to find out more!
