CamilaMy boyfriend and I had dinner here yesterday. He uses a wheelchair. There was a wait for a table inside, so we sat at the bar. The hostess suggested sitting outside and mentioned there were heaters, but it was extremely cold, and due to his disability, my boyfriend cannot tolerate cold weather. I went outside to check it out—there was live music and a beautiful lake view, but the heaters were not sufficient to keep the area warm. Once seated at the bar, we ordered food and beers. If you’re visiting The Half Wall for drinks—especially beer—you’ll love it. They have an amazing selection with tons of variety, and it’s a fun atmosphere. Unfortunately, the food did not live up to the prices. The beer mussels were about a 6/10—very salty and the broth was watery. The pork schnitzel was a 4/10: the potatoes were hard and undercooked with no flavor, and the pork was soggy instead of crispy. I paid an extra $3 to substitute a salad (which was actually very good) and $0.50 for ranch dressing, but it took 45 minutes to arrive, at which point I no longer needed it. The bartender seemed extremely stressed. My boyfriend ordered the buffalo chicken wrap and enjoyed it, rating it a 6/10, especially because it included vegetables. Overall, this is a great spot for beers and drinks, but the food is nothing special.

Thalia ZavalaWe absolutely love The Half Wall in New Smyrna Beach! We’ve been here several times and the food is always delicious. Jesse was our waiter again this visit, and he was wonderful! He’s taken care of us on previous visits too, and he’s always friendly, attentive, and makes the experience even better. The Keel & Curley craft beer is also one of my favorites — so good! 🍺 Great food, great drinks, and consistently great service. Definitely one of our favorite spots in New Smyrna!

Eug GloverJesse was a great server! Be sure to request him for your dining pleasure. The at mosphere was quiet and relaxed and there were people playing corn hole out in the back. Everyone was friendly and respectful. The food was above average and the food presentation was appealing. The menu has a wide variety of food to select from including the beer selection. This place has something for every finicky foodie! I was thoroghly impressed!

Ashley NeffYou can rely on consistent food here. I love to order the dark and stormy flight as all of the dark beers are great! The beer cheese soup is rather thick, but the taste is delicious. The cheese curds are a must! Lightly dusted and not over fried. The salads are large and fresh so if you are looking for a lighter meal, get one! The burgers are a bit over done but tasty.

Barry DahlI've been here several times, sometimes as a party of 1 and others with 5-8 friends after tennis. I gave four stars instead of five, not because I've been disappointed but I just haven't been wowed either. I'm a craft beer guy and they have a big selection, but their own beers are mid, IMO. Good burgers, although my medium rare Cowboy burger yesterday didn't have a drop of juice/fat left in it. In the photos you'll see that I've tried other menu selections as well. They have good wings and good apps. It's a big place so you'll probably never have to wait to be seated. I'm sure I'll stop in several more times before I die.
