Aunt Catfish's on the River — Port Orange, FL

If you show up to Aunt Catfish's on a Sunday after church, just know you're walking into a beautiful kind of chaos and that's exactly how you know it's good. This place sits right on the Halifax River south of Daytona and has been packing people in since 1990 with all-you-can-eat catfish, fried shrimp, and cinnamon rolls that land on your table before you've even opened the menu. Jamie ate four of those cinnamon rolls before his actual meal arrived and has zero regrets. The riverside patio, the sweet tea, the servers who treat you like you've been coming here your whole life this is Southern hospitality the way it's supposed to feel. Julie says Aunt Catfish's is the kind of place where you bring your whole family, eat way too much, and drive home with the windows down feeling like Florida is the greatest place on earth.
