We have learned that Local food is the joy of a foodie. So we gathered everything you need to know about restaurants in West Volusia in one spot. We have openings and closings, links to restaurant inspection reports, your opinions about local places to eat, stories about restaurants, and more.

Send us your review, or that great photo you took of your entree to wvfoodie@beacononlinenews.com or share it with us on social media @westvolusiafoodie. But most of all, we want to have some fun and we want to eat. So welcome!

Shantell's food

For real? Meatless
collards and peas?

SHANTELL'S JUST UNTIL
Here's a challenge for West Volusia soul-food restaurants. We stopped in downtown Sanford and found Shantell's Just Until, at 503 Sanford Avenue. Their collards and the black-eyed peas have zero meat in them, and they are delicious!  Also on the menu was fried catfish nuggets and ”macabella,” a slightly spicy macaroni and cheese, drizzled with balsamic and served on a Portabella mushroom.
