THE CALIFORNIA PATIO GRILL

OKAY here's another one of our favorite places!!!!!



















THE CALIFORNIA PATIO GRILL
Daytona Beach Fl.
This place ROCKS!!!

I don't know how many times we walked past this place and did not stop.

It's right on the beach, and we saw it all the time but never stopped till our last visit.
"G" and Val are the owners and these ladies rock. They make you feel right at home like your at a friends house for a party!

You can't beat the view or the food, we we're hooked on "G's" homemade Crab Rangoons.

But we also enjoyed the burgers, made fresh every day and the Shrimp basket, the BEER is in a huge tub of ice behind the bar so its ice cold....
If you ever get to Daytona Beach stop in say hi, make some new friends, and tell "G" and VAL
Allison said hi.
