Orange Social — Restaurant in Orange City

Noticed Orange Social on DoorDash for the first time today and decided to give them a try after perusing their interesting, diverse menu, and I’m glad I did because I quite enjoyed my meal!

Before talking about the food, I just wanted to say I called them twice to ask questions, and the woman I spoke with was very kind and helpful (I think her name was Tatiana).

I ordered a bacon & cheese omelette w/ home fries and the butter chicken w/ rice & naan. The omelette was slightly more browned than I would prefer, but not burned, the bacon was tasty and plentiful, and major points for using cheddar by default! The home fries were delicious also, fully cooked and soft inside, slight crispness on the outside (probably were crispier before their 20 min car ride to my house, but I won’t hold that against the restaurant).

The butter chicken was also good overall. Personally, I found the curry to taste overly salty (not sure if salt or something else with a salty taste is causing this, but the result is the same), but the chicken itself was excellent, incredibly tender pieces of meat, no inedible tendons/fat/etc, and a pretty decent portion size too. The rice was good, but you don’t get very much, and the naan was pillowy and tasty, but one piece (cut into two) just isn’t enough.

If my omelette was less brown, the curry was less salty, and the rice/naan portions were larger, this would have been a 5 star review. Anyways, 4 stars is still really good, and I look forward to trying more dishes from here!

Update: I ordered from here a second day in a row, and am even more confident in my 4 star review. Another very good, but not quite perfect meal! I ordered the biscuits & gravy w/ eggs and home fries, and the black & bleu burger with fries. The biscuits & gravy were stellar! You can really tell the sausage gravy is made from scratch, it’s creamy and delicious, not gelatinous and gooey like a lot of places, and the biscuits were soft and buttery! The home fries were perfect, and the scrambled eggs were fine. I would have preferred over easy, which is how I assumed they would come, but apparently scrambled is the default here. I suppose that is ultimately on me though to specify.

The burger was also tasty! Was served to me a perfect medium as I requested, and had a nice amount of toppings. My only critique is that the onions probably should have been sautéed longer, they look like they were quickly charred and removed from the heat, so they were still mostly raw. Fries were under fried, but were still good.

2nd Update: Tried the Country Style Skillet and the Turkey Avocado Wrap with coleslaw. The skillet was the best single item I’ve had from here! Massive pile of perfect home fries topped with their excellent sausage gravy, shredded cheddar, bacon, ham, over easy eggs and scallions, amazing!

I liked the flavors of the wrap, but the amount of turkey was seriously lacking. Looked liked there were only 1-2 slices of turkey in the whole thing. Needs way more. Still deciding whether or not I enjoyed the coleslaw. Veg was crisp, but it pretty much just tasted like mayo and onion. Coleslaw is usually sweet or tangy, this was neither. Not bad, but...

My husband and I were on the lookout for a cute Sunday afternoon date spot and stumbled upon Orange Social, a charming mom-and-pop shop. Parking was conveniently located right out front, setting the tone for a hassle-free experience. The moment we walked in, we were impressed by how clean and cute the place was, featuring a welcoming bar, cozy booths, and plenty of seating options.

Orange Social offers various menus, and since it was Sunday, we were given the brunch menu. It has a little bit of everything, blending selections from the lunch, dinner, and breakfast menus. They also feature daily specials, which is a nice touch.

My husband ordered the half-pound breakfast burger, which came with eggs and bacon, accompanied by fries. There were upgrade options for the fries, which he appreciated. He absolutely loved his meal and even mentioned that it's one of the best burgers he's had in the Deltona to Orange City area—a high compliment!

As for me, I'm really into fitness and was hoping to find a salad. Although there wasn't a specific salad listed on the brunch menu, the staff was more than willing to customize something for me. I ended up ordering a house salad from the lunch menu, and since I'm lactose intolerant, they kindly omitted out the cheese and ranch and they were okay with me bringing my own dressing. I was also able to add green bell peppers to the mix, which already included onions, tomatoes, and mixed greens. The salad was perfect, and the grilled chicken I added was cooked to perfection—juicy and flavorful, not dry at all. It was one of the best house salads I've had in a long time.

Our server, Heather, was incredibly attentive, making sure our coffee cups were always full and offering plenty of soda refills. She was upbeat and kind, adding to the overall positive experience. The owner, Jay, also came by to check on us, which was a nice personal touch. He mentioned that they’re happy to customize meals to accommodate dietary needs, which was reassuring given my restrictions.

Overall, we’re thrilled to have found Orange Social and are looking forward to making it a regular date spot. With the friendly service, delicious food, and willingness to cater to our needs, it's a gem in the area. We can't...

This is the restaurant Orange City and the area as a whole needed. I live in Deltona.

The decor is simple yet elegant feeling with the mirrors and the artwork, subtle yet refined.

Our server Heather recognized me from a previous establishment she worked at which was extremely impressive as wait staff see and meet soooo many people. She was on the ball with menu information, establishment info, letting us know the owner's/chef's backgrounds, how everything is made to order and more. She was on top of keeping drinks filled, seeing if we needed anything and making sure all was well When you go, hope that she is working and you can sit in her section Heather is a gift to the hospitality profession.

The best part, the food!! We had a difficult time choosing. The menu is packed with delights and we'll definitely be returning to devour more of the items they have. I'm very intrigued by their curry offerings as curry was one of my specialties when I was an active Chef.

Today I had the Country Skillet with eggs over medium and wheat toast. Everything in the skillet was well balanced so nothing outshined another. Everything was cooked to perfection. When I turned up my nose to Tabasco or Chululah, I was offered Sriracha which I happily accepted.

The Mrs. got the smokehouse omelet. The Applewood Bacon, sausage and ham were all evenly proportionate so nothing was stronger than another. The eggs were fluffy and cheese perfectly melted.

She's been craving grits but felt the price was too high for the small side that is normally given. Told her to get them and we were not prepared for a full serving, worth every last penny. This is not the little ramekin side that most restaurants give. They were so creamy and not the least bit gritty. She was in 7th heaven. Knowing grits don't reheat well, she got the remainder of her breakfast to go so she could finish every last bit of them.

We were shocked at the amount of food for the price. I had to bring home some of mine as well.

We had other breakfast plans but that place wasn't open so we used the GoogleFu and happened upon Orange Social and we're so glad we did.

See y'all...
