Craving a hot meal? These restaurants in Daytona Beach area are open now or opening soon

Following Hurricane Nicole's destructive path through Volusia and Flagler counties, many of us are craving a hot meal to fuel us for the long clean-up process ahead. To help, we're assembling a list of restaurants that are currently open or planning to open soon.

For those who can safely travel to these establishments, here are the restaurants that have posted to social media saying they are now open or opening soon. The list is separated by county starting with Volusia followed by Flagler and presented in alphabetical order.

We plan to continue updating this story. If you are a local restaurant and have reopened, please email your information to chebert@news-jrnl.com.
