Doc Bales' Grill - Daytona Beach

Horrible! I arrived promptly at the time of my reservation (party of 2) and was greeted by an empty hostess stand. After a few minutes the hostess appeared and informed me that they were not taking anymore customers. She stated that they had one waiter that evening and he was already attending to 8 or 9 tables. I informed her that I had a reservation, at which point she sighed and stated that she still couldn’t take us because they were short staffed (mind you this was the evening after the Daytona 500 – you would have thought they would have been ready for a crowd). She told me I should go to the bar across the hall because I could order the same menu. How about you seat me in your restaurant and get the bar staff to come to me at my reserved table! I will never visit Doc Bales’ Grill again!
