LandShark Bar & Grill Breaks Ground

Posted By Jacob Galvin of the Daytona Beach News Journal

Florida Jimmy Buffett fans will soon be able to enjoy cheeseburgers in paradise, or at least in Daytona Beach.

The Buffett-themed LandShark Bar & Grill will break ground on July 12, according to the Daytona Beach News-Journal.

The dual- restaurant complex is being built on a 6-acre lot at 451 S. Atlantic Ave. just north of the Volusia County lifeguard headquarters and Sun Splash Park, in Daytona Beach.

LandShark Bar & Grill is a family-friendly beach joint, complete with fish tacos, coconut shrimp, the "Landshark" burger and, of course, over a half-dozen types of margaritas.

Site work on the oceanfront project, which will include a separately owned Tex-Mex eatery called Cocina 214 Restaurant & Bar, is set to begin this week.

John Albright, Consolidated-Tomoka CEO, said the target date for completing the two restaurants is December. The buildings will then be turned over to the tenants with a goal of having the eateries open before the annual Rolex 24 at Daytona race in late January.

Stay tuned, we will keep you posted as the project develops further along with additional photos.
