In the ensuing years the site served as a mosquito control center, piggy bank factory, and then again a general store. Earl Norwood bought the building in 1946 and turned it into Norwood’s Seafood Restaurant, which he ran successfully until health forced him to retire. He sold Norwood’s (already a tradition in New Smyrna Beach) to Mr. and Mrs. Bulchunis in 1953. After 19 years of growth and continued success, the Bulchunis’ sold Norwood’s to Marvin Age, who carried on the tradition of fresh seafood and fine dining. The restaurant stayed the same until 1985, when Age expanded the building. Don Simmons joined Norwood’s management team then, moving from Houlihan’s Restaurant in Atlanta. Simmons was already familiar with Norwood’s, having worked in the kitchen while attending Daytona Beach Community College. He left to attend Florida State University in Tallahassee, but Age kept track of his progress and after graduation, brought him back as a manager.Under leadership of Simmons and his carefully developed team, Norwoods has flourished and still features homemade sauces, salad dressings, filets locally sourced fish, and hand cuts aged steaks. When possible we source locally grown vegetables and seafood for our extensive menu. Under the leadership of Don and Pamela Simmons and a carefully developed team, Norwood’s has flourished and still serves the same great seafood, Wine and Craft Cocktails. Don and Pamela Simmons opened the Treehouse Bar in 2015 and the Roots Bar in 2019. -Aged Angus beef -Expanded seating and remodeled interior Eco Initiatives & Community Commitment Environmental Responsibility • Garbage to Garden Diverting over 1,000 pounds monthly of pre-consumer food waste from landfill to composted soil for an onsite 4’ x 20’ raised garden. • Reusing waste • Sweet tea for pork brine marinade and producing over 50 gallons of vinegar as of late July. • Scallion stalks re-growing in the garden. • Pineapple pulp for Norwood's hot sauce • Reducing waste Eliminated All Single use plastic • Switched to plant-based/compostable drinking straws • Drinking straws on demand • Switched to plant-based/compostable take-home containers • Switched from disposable to reusable soufflé containers (about 2,000 pounds annually of plastic diverted from landfill) • Supply staff with reusable cups • Invested Draft wine systems which supplies wine in kegs that we estimate to reduce over 16,000 wine bottles annually Installed a 4,500 gallon grease trap in 2019, which greatly improves waste water quality • Buying locally • Sun Splash of New Smyrna Beach, honey and eggs. • Noble Roots Farm in Eustis, chicken and eggs. • Armand, Swiss Baker of New Smyrna Beach, lavash crackers and focaccia bread. • Fresh produce such as arugula and scallions from Norwood's garden. • Recycling • Implementing perhaps the only wine cork recycling outlet in Brevard, Flagler, Seminole and Volusia counties Giving and Supporting Southeast Volusia Habitat for Humanity • contributed $740,000 over the years, for completing 12 houses Monthly donations to support local fundraisers and community events • Buying locally • Sun Splash of New Smyrna Beach, honey and eggs. • Noble Roots Farm in Eustis, chicken and eggs. • Armand, Swiss Baker of New Smyrna Beach, lavash crackers and focaccia bread. • Fresh produce such as arugula and scallions from Norwood's garden. • Buying locally Giving and Supporting Southeast Volusia Habitat for Humanity • contributed $740,000 over the years, for completing 12 houses Monthly donations to support local fundraisers and community events We clean and disinfect using On-site Generation Cleaning Technology What is On-site Generation cleaning and disinfecting? On-site generation is a way to make cleaner, sanitizer and disinfectant solutions such as Hypochlorous acid on demand right in a facility using specific technology . The use of Hypochlorous acid (HOCL) is a less toxic option for sanitizing and disinfecting. HOCL is made naturally in the human body as part of its immune system. Hypochlorous acid is pure in that there are no synthetic fragrances or dyes added to the solution when made. It is made from salt, water and electricity to produce sodium hydroxide (NaOH) cleaner and HOCL sanitizer/disinfecting solutions. ‍ One advantage to HOCL is that it does not cause or exacerbate asthma. It is also less irritating and toxic to humans and has good materials compatibility. HOCL has a neutral pH of 6 to 7, which allows for less dermal, eye and respiratory irritation to the worker. The mechanism of how HOCL kills microbes — by destroying their cell walls and bursting them open — does not allow them to adapt and form superbugs. This makes it ideal for food preparation and hospital facilities. With an on-site generation system of HOCL, we here at Norwoods can create a powerful, proactive infection control and green cleaning program. ‍ Norwoods Eatery & Bar 400 E 2nd Ave. New Smyrna Beach, FL 32169 (386) 428-4621 1946 Restaurant & Roots Bar Open Every Day 11:30AM–10PM Roots Bar 3pm-10pm Sunday -Thursday 11:30am-10:00pm Friday -Saturday ‍Treehouse Bar Open Every Day 11:30AM–10:00pm 21 & Up Connect with us Keyboard shortcuts Map data ©2021 Google, INEGI Terms of Use Sign-Up For Our Newsletter 1946 Restaurant Treehouse Bar Roots Bar Live Entertainment About Norwoods Contact & Employment ©Copyright 2021, Norwoods Eatery & Bars
