One of my MOST favorite spots on the beach! Great food, drinks and service. So sad that on my most recent visit they were closed ? Is this temporary? Did you all relocate?

I was with a group who ate there for brunch on a Saturday and had a great server and service food was good.For dinner that day we went back and our server was super nice but the kitchen was slow and some items just never came out leaving everyone waiting for one person to get their food after everyone had finished.Literally waited for over an hour for fried chicken wings.Went back the next morning for breakfast server was nice and terrible.Server was easily scattered confused..Over 2 hours sitting there coffee came late refilled late plates went to the wrong people it was as if the kitchen was using a slot machine to randomly assemble breakfast.Sadly the same person who waited almost 2 hours to get chicken wings the night before was left waiting for an hour to get eggs toast and sausage. Everyone else had eaten and finished and she had to reorder because they just didn't know where it was.Of course the plate they brought was someone else's order .. the eggs were wrong the sausage was bacon the bread was wrong and had to wait another 10 minutes for the right plate to be brought out.Their prices are reasonable they have a good menu .. but... I can't recommend it two out of three meals were chaotic at best and one had downright horrible service.Breakfast special at $5.99 on Hollywood Beach is reasonable. But the terrible service does not make sense. Server blames the system or the kitchen for the mistakes. That did not explain why drinks went undelivered and food was given to the wrong people.There's just no excuse to keep somebody waiting long after everyone else has finished eating to get their meal. Refills on water and coffee should not be a challenged to a server.The breakfast was okay but not good.I had ordered fish tacos the night before. Well they tasted good the plating was poor. Three small tacos on a plate with no sides it looked like a side dish on a big plate. All they had to do is add a little garnish to the plate maybe a little stack of nacho chips maybe a little lettuce or color on the plate.

Alvin’s on the beach is a very relaxing atmosphere, the staff is very friendly and helpful. I have eaten a few dishes at this restaurant and they do not seem to disappoint, they play very modern upbeat music. The ambiance of the restaurant is for a more modern crowd, it’s a nice place to enjoy time with your family or even just to hang out at the beach. It is a 10 out of 10 and I would highly recommend going there.

Chicken and waffles are one of my favorite breakfasts and my go-go place, for the last several months, has been Alvin’s on the broadwalk in Hollywood. The plate would hold one huge round waffle cut into four pieces, filled with syrup and topped with three pieces of lightly browned and seasoned chicken. It was warm and tasty, beyond delicious so, when a friend suggested we go out for breakfast on the broadwalk I immediately mentioned Alvin’s. “You will love the chicken and waffles,” I told her as we ordered. Oh Calamity! When the waiter delivered our orders the plate held only two square waffles, identical to the ones you can buy in a box at the dollar store (did they really use waffles out of a box?) and three pieces of slightly burned chicken and, to add insult to injury, everything was cold. When we gently complained to the waiter, he said that the chef who was using a different recipe, He apologized offered to bring us another, fresh plate. He did so but, truth to tell, the second serving wasn’t much better. We didn’t say anything, why bother? but the meal was definitely not worth over forty dollars. (this included tax and gratuity) The waiter was very attentive and helpful but really, being served by someone in torn jeans and a worn tee shirt just doesn’t seem appropriate. Can’t Alvin’s afford uniforms or at least, tee shirts with the name of the restaurant? On the plus side, the coffee was excellent and the ambiance with the patio seating and view of the ocean can’t be beat. but I don’t think I’ll be going back to Alvin’s anytime soon

Delicious food and great service! During my time in the area, we did not receive good service anywhere, but our server was very nice and attentive. 4/5 because the restaurant doesn’t seem to be able to keep up with the supply/demand. They were out a couple of things from the appetizer menu before we decided to not get an appetizer at all. Overall great food and service!

Nice view, nice breakfast! Clean and spacious seating. Server was very friendly and fast. Breakfast items were tasty. Restroom was clean. Will visit again!

Nice venue right on the boardwalk with a wonderful beach view. The portions were small and overpriced, as expected for the area. Ordered the spicy tuna tacos and was quite underwhelmed, as the tuna was ground up (weird texture) and thrown together in a soft flour taco that didn't go with the flavors (or lack of). The service however was good and the establishment very clean.

This place is great! We went for breakfast and got the beach breakfast and the steak and eggs.There were able to adjust the beach breakfast to a vegetarian option. I don’t think the steak was filet mignon but still it was good. Both of the servers were amazing. Excellent team work and great service. 5 starts for you guys!!

AWESOME AWESEOME!! The staff was so friendly and personable! They even kept the kitchen open for us! (We thought they closed at 12pm and they do but the kitchen closes around 10) not only did they keep it open but they did so with a bright attitude and AMAZING food. My bf had the smoked salmon over rice and I had the pesto pasta! Both of them were out of this world! The manger or owner also came out to make sure we had been helped as we had sat outside. It’s also a nice change of pace, a little quieter and more intimate, instead of bumping music and drunk folks stumbling around. 11/10!!!
This place is amazing! So glad we made it here today. Service is on point, everyone is very friendly and accommodating. Food is very good, cooked perfectly and very fresh. You can taste the home cooking and love. The view is unbeatable, we sat outside with a panoramic view of the beach. Lisa is extremely sweet and made my groups feel very well taken care of. She anticipated our drinks and explained the menu very well. Later we found out her husband is in the kitchen, I can just say they are a dynamic duo. Will definitely be coming back again with friends and family.We also got to meet Alvin, and he was just the icing on the cake. Great personality, super nice and made it the whole experience all that better.

Really nice dinner. Burger, chicken and waffles, steak tacos, and mashed potatoes were all delicious! And our server/bartender, Josh, was awesome -- took great care of us.

Best place to get breakfast on the beach! Food is fantastic and the staff is amazing. Bottomless mimosas are the only way to start the day here!

Great restaurant with more than fantastic service. Bottomless mimosas are the way to go. Food is amazing and not too expensive.

We loved this spot! Right on the beach. Wonderful drinks and good food too. Sit on the outdoor patio; it’s perfect for people watching.
