Phantom Foodie<br />
I’m sorry to disappoint all of you who seem to<br />
enjoy the darkside of harsh honesty in the Phantom<br />
Foodie articles, but this month is all positive!!!<br />
If you have a suggestion for a restaurant for us<br />
to visit, please email us through our website or<br />
message us on our FaceBook page.<br />
I had passed Manny’s Pizza in New Smyrna Beach<br />
many times before I actually went in. I was with a<br />
friend who suggested we stop there for a bite one<br />
day and we have been back several times since,<br />
usually late on Sunday mornings.<br />
This place has something for everyone. As you<br />
walk in, there is an arcade area with various<br />
amusements, pinball machines, etc. (someday, I<br />
will plan to have some extra time to play pinball<br />
while I’m there). To the right at the front of the<br />
building is a bar area (which I have never experienced<br />
on a Sunday morning) and to the left is the<br />
dining room. It is<br />
simply decorated; typical diner-type interior. The<br />
restaurant and restrooms are always clean.<br />

The people are friendly and, at least late on Sunday<br />
mornings, there always seems to be a large<br />
group of regulars enjoying a meal and conversation.<br />
Every server we have encountered has been<br />
attentive and accommodating; we even had one<br />
who apologized one day because she usually<br />
works the dinner shift so she wasn’t as familiar<br />
with breakfast.<br />
Manny’s has an extensive menu, from breakfast<br />
to pizza to burgers to sandwiches and - oh, stop<br />
right there - the SANDWICHES. They don’t make<br />
the bread there (I asked) but the bread they serve<br />
sandwiches on is delicious. It has a nice, thin,<br />
crispy crust and soft interior. My favorite thing<br />
to order is the french dip sandwich; my friend<br />
likes the grinders. He has a special way he orders<br />
them, and Manny’s always gets the order right the<br />
first time. I’ve also had the hamburger, which was<br />
very good as well. The regulars seem to enjoy<br />
breakfast - french toast, omelets, bacon and eggs.<br />
On my next trip, I think I will try the pizza (although<br />
I will be sorry not to have the french dip).<br />
The prices are very reasonable and they have<br />
great specials daily.<br />
So, if you find yourself heading south in New<br />
Smyrna Beach, stop in and give Manny’s a try;<br />
they are located at 3318 S Atlantic Avenue. Grab<br />
a beer, a snack or a meal - you’ll be glad you did!<br />
