Aunt Catfish's on the River

Waterfront Southern comfort-food institution on the Halifax River in Port Orange — running since 1979 as a fish-camp-style spot on Halifax Dr, four generations of family ownership. Cinnamon rolls come free with every plate (over 1,000 baked and glazed on-site daily), and the fixin's bar loads up cornbread, grits, and homemade sides alongside the fried catfish, shrimp, and Southern platters. Sunday's Blue Jeans Brunch (9a–2p) is the ritual — dress code exactly what it says.

What to order

Fried catfish or a seafood platter — the cinnamon rolls come with the meal, so ride in hungry. If you're rolling through Sunday morning, the Blue Jeans Brunch (9a–2p) beats the dinner-hour wait.
