Uncle Chicken's

What started as a family-run food truck in 2014 blossomed into one of New Smyrna Beach's go-to brick-and-mortar stores. Uncle Chicken's 

The eatery delivers a blend of comfort food with a gourmet twist, originating from their passion and culinary craftsmanship. It is also near popular attractions like the Atlantic Center for the Arts, the Eldora State House, and Lighthouse Point Park. Such convenience makes planning a jam-packed itinerary with a meal easy. 

While only a kiosk, they dish out big flavors with a heaping dose of Southern comfort food finesse. There is something to please even the pickiest of eaters with two menus, Uncle Chicken's and Cast Iron. Every dish features fresh, local New Smyrna Beach ingredients, ensuring every item is rich with flavor. 

While it doesn't offer indoor seating, plenty of covered picnic tables exist. A small fenced area, aptly named the Beer Garden, has live music, adding to the dining experience. 

With unique menus, fresh made-from-scratch cuisine, live music, and a chill vibe, it's no wonder Uncle Chicken's is an NSB icon.

Uncle Chicken's offers a kick-back vibe to savor the area's best chicken and smoked meats. The exterior has a simple facade and colorful sign that welcomes all with open arms. 

Wood picnic tables adorn the patio and beer garden, adding to the chill beach vibe at Uncle Chicken's. It's the perfect setting after a whirlwind day at Daytona Boardwalk Amusements.
