Gilbert's 17th Street Grill

Absolutely blown away! The food here is top-notch. The cheeseburgers are incredibly juicy, packed with flavor, thick, and cooked to absolute perfection. You also can’t skip out on the wings—they have a crispy exterior and are tossed in the perfect amount of sauce. To top it all off, the desserts are out of this world and a fantastic way to finish the meal. What really makes this place shine, though, is the awesome staff. Everyone is so welcoming, fast, friendly, and attentive. We highly recommend checking them out!

I had the most amazing grilled wings and the NY cheesecake is sogood and not overly sweet. My kids loved the burgers. It is one of the top for them. Will definitely come back if I come to the area again. The owner was nice and helpful.

Wonderful service. The owner/manager was delightful and so kind to my children. We had a wonderful time. The hot dogs were wonderful! The salad was great as well.

Whole family loved it here! Salmon and mahi were excellent quality, perfectly grilled, and delicious. Sweet potato fries were crispy, and we had some of the best Mac and cheese ever. I don’t know how they made it so tasty. Kids and adults will scarf it up.

And do yourself a favor and get some of the best key lime pie. It was heavenly. The crust wasn’t your typical graham crackers but something even better I couldn’t figure out but it was great. Wonderful service too. All around fantastic experience!

Best, thick juicy burger I have had in a very long time!! I got mine with sub dried tomato pesto - YUM!
My husband ordered the jerk chicken sandwich and loved it. And of course we had to take some dessert to go!

Excellent place to grab a meal. We especially enjoyed Beth's collection of desserts that she prepares and were blown away with the Red Velvet cookie. Super delicious. We immediately requested a larger order for a group of athletes at national convention and they each were delighted by the taste of her treat. Thank you Beth! Definitely will visit again.

I chose to dine at Gilbert’s initially due to its close proximity to the hotel that I was staying out during a business trip. Upon entering I was greeted by Mrs. Gilbert. She told me a little about the restaurant and made suggestions. I ordered grilled chicken wings and a Greek salad. The chicken was fresh, salad crisp and fresh.
The food and service was outstanding. So much so that I returned a couple days later and brought some of my peers. They agreed that the food and service was outstanding.

Visiting from out of town and stopped in with a small group. The food and deserts were excellent. Owner greeted us and asked if we had any questions about the menu. Even though you order and pay at the counter and they bring the food out to you, they had someone checking in on your table and making sure you didn’t need anything. Definitely will be back in the future! Thank you!

Honestly being from out of town and have gone to many burger places. This place just earned its spot at the top of my list. Not only was the burger AMAZING. The service was top tier Wellington was a great person to have talked to being he’s been with the company and family for so long. He provided great insight into what the family is about and how they have been over the year. It is hard to find a place that is this genuine in caring about the guest and making great food. 10/10 would recommend will be coming back when we come back to South Florida.

If you are looking for an incredible meal in Fort Lauderdale, look no further than Gilbert’s 17th Street Grill. This family-run spot delivers a fantastic dining experience from start to finish. The atmosphere is warm, low-key, and incredibly welcoming, making you feel right at home the moment you walk through the door.
The food is spectacular. I ordered the salmon, and it was cooked perfectly—incredibly juicy, flavorful, and flaky. Paired with their fresh, crisp Greek salad, it made for the absolute perfect meal. The staff is exceptionally friendly and attentive, ensuring that every guest is well taken care of. It is rare to find a place that consistently hits every mark with both its atmosphere and its execution, but Gilbert's does it effortlessly. I will definitely be back!

Hands down the best burger Ive ever had
