“Delicious! I was passing by after a run and saw the flag. Had to check it out. I was greeted by a kind cashier who helped me decide on the large portion of j*** chicken (it was between the j*** & oxtail).When I came back to pick up my meal; the cook was there to greet me. You can really feel the authenticity. She opened my to-go box to ensure the meal was to my liking. She also got me an extra sauce on the side. The large j*** chicken plate came with about 1/2 a chicken, a salad, and rice & peas.the chicken was so flavorful, the rice and peas were exactly what I needed. The salad for meWas the appropriate portion, as I prioritize the protein. They overdelivered.Would highly recommend for an authentic, homemade meal. I’ll be back!“
“My husband and I always enjoy coming to Aruba! The vibes, food, and service had been top notch every time we've been here. Happy hour food and drinks are always great. Tonight, we enjoyed the yellowtail snapper and baked stuffed shrimp. Both were so good but we especially enjoyed the stuffed shrimp. Thanks for the great food, drinks and service. We can't wait to come back next visit!“
“It is what it says it is. No pretention. Tots, fried Mac and cheese and burgers. I live nearby so anything more than an occasional Cousin Oliver is too much. But it's all quite good. Service can be spotty at times but grab a drink and it will be fine. Fun times.“
“The resort was better than expected. Check in was effortless.. Patrick was awesome. Bed & pillows extremely comfortable. Air conditioning ran perfectly. Shower was huge & worked great. Room was a decent size. Coffee shop & breakfast place was absolutely delicious & huge portions. Beach was so beautiful… beach chairs & towels with optional umbrella brought out to the beach for you. They even had several games in the lobby! We will definitely be back. Also, so many things within walking distance, bars & restaurants or shops.“
“Lovely beach place to have drinks. We just passed by after dinner and spent some hours here looking at the beach while enjoying good drinks and really friendly service. The place got a little busy so the bartenders, even if super professional needed a little time to get your drinks. But, I get it. And they were really friendly.“
“Me and my girlfriend went for breakfast/brunch the place is really nicely and right by the beach. Mariana was our server she was AMAZING!!! she was attentive, sweet, and knowledgeable. We had mimosas, my girlfriend got pancakes and I got eggs benedict. Everything was DELICIOUS!!! Will definitely be back!“
“Gets VERY busy but our first place we run to for drinks and food. We share cajun Alfredo shrimp, the portions are a good size. Love the firecracker shrimp and Flatbread pizza. Drinks and atmosphere is great. Live music on weekend nights. Can't say enough about this establishment ????“

“If you read nothing else of my review read this: Bring singles! Yes. These ladies are working hard and deserve every bit of "moulah" that you can hand them as they strut their stuff on stage and through the entire venue! I went with a large group of women for a recent Sunday Gospel brunch (Gospel brunch is back and is the first Sunday of each month) and it was a blast. There are two brunch sittings (one at 11:30 and the other at 2pm) and the energy that these performers have to have to do this show twice is crazy! For one set price, ($39.95) you get a choice of entree (there is an entire range of items from Eggs Benedict, to crabcakes to pasta) and then unlimited Mimosas or Bloody Marys. For a small upcharge you can also get unlimited frozen cosmos so know before you go! And when I say unlimited, they mean it as bottle after bottle of champagne landed on our table along with pitchers of orange juice. On the day I was there, the audience was made up of bachelorette parties as well as birthdays and just some people hanging out, but whether people were celebrating something or not, everyone came to have fun and this venue ensures that! The service is outstanding, the jokes are flying, and probably my favorite part was at the end when the "man in the mirror" segment was done. The entire experience last about 2.5 hours and my face still hurts from smiling the entire time. Well done, Lips!“
“Last time, I gave this place a good review. Now, not so much. As a local, my friends and I laugh at how bad the bar service is. It's like they go out of their way NOT to make eye contact. I just sat at the bar for 10 minutes, with a dirty bar in front of me and never got service. Bartenders have no sense of urgency. Staff needs a good wake up call in our collective opinion! Happens over and over again...“
“Stopped by on Easter Sunday for a nice lunch with our family. The food and atmosphere were great and our servers, Chelsea and Ana, were wonderful and attentive to our table. Our son was thrilled they served buttered pasta on the kids menu. The key lime pie was amazing! Thanks for a memorable Easter! ❤️Kid-friendliness: Good options on the kids menu!“
“Had the pleasure of dining in at Anthony's Clam House. We come all the way from New Jersey just for the clams! Everything was excellent especially the linguine vongole and the Tuscan shrimp. The atmosphere is very nice. The service was awesome, we were blessed to have Angela as our waitress, she was a sweetheart. She checked in with us throughout the meal to make sure everything was good. 10/10 overall and I look forward to coming back!“
“Wow, wow, and wow! Amazing and flavorful food that I haven't experienced to date in Thai cuisine! We ordered one of each of the servers' recommendations, and we are glad we did! We love to try new things, and everything we had tonight was new to us, and we loved it. We'd eat here every week if we lived around here. We can't recommend this restaurant enough if you like Thai!“
“I'm really picky, so I never have too high of expectations... but what a great meal! I saw reviews were good, so we just popped in.. we might've dressed a little less casually if we knew what a great vibe this place had. I loved the decor, the staff was amazing and attentive, and the food was fantastic. We may have to go back to Fort Lauderdale just to eat here again!!GET THE TAMARIND CHEESECAKE. It was seriously amazing.“
“I found spot randomly driving around and it seemed like a cool place so I came in by myself. An extremely polite gentleman invited me to the bar and took my order. The service was fast and professional. I ordered 3 street tacos and I got beef, pork and chicken. I was blown away at how delicious this food was. Easily the best tacos I've ever had. I also really enjoyed the Quvo Named craft beer. I was surprised to learn that the gentleman and woman serving me were the owners! I'll definitely be returning.“
“This place never disappoints. Very quaint and chill location to have delicious beers and tasty food.Large selection of beers you pick and serve yourself with a great food menu to enjoy your beers with.It's definitely a great place to visit if you are in the area.“

“This place was amazing. It's black owned, ran by black people, the whole experience. My party of 4 got to the restaurant an hour before our reservation ( on a Sunday) and the host Wendy was gracious enough to get us in early. Wendy are a gem in that. You can tell she runs a they ship. All the staff were nice. The food was just simply amazing. When you first walk in, the low light will take you a couple of minutes to adjust. However once you do, it's all good from there. There have a little photos booth to take photos. The music was just right. I definitely recommend this place to my friends and family. We can wait to go back for dinner once night. Hats off to Smith and Webster!!“
“This place is a hidden gem. You can expect great service, a terrific atmosphere, warm and genuine hospitality, solid beverage options with signature drinks, and fresh tasty food. The live music doesn’t hurt either, and the crowd is friendly and upscale. I always have a great time at The Fitz, and thank God that it’s stumbling distance from my house. Highly recommend!“
“I’ve lived in south Florida pretty much all my life and there’s finally an amazing pizza joint here. 10/10 best crust I’ve ever had thank you. Will be a frequent customer I wish you all the success. Garlic rolls amazing, chicken wings yummy!!! Roni pie amazing!!“
“Was in Wilton Manors four nights and I ate here three of them! I'm gluten free so you can never go wrong with tacos. My favorites were def the chicken, chorizo, and the grouper, hold the onions. Bartender was a cool cat providing relaxed but attentive service. I didn't try the ceviche because I was solo but it looked amazing and very shareable, next time. My mezcal margaritas hit the spot I truly wish there was a Tulios in my hometown.“
“SOOOO MUCH FUN! we went in a big group of friends and literally came back a month later. Axe throwing was super fun and entertaining, got competitive too!! Our axe instructor was super nice too.Food is also super great! We got tater tots!!Great place for friends or date night“
“We loved the food so much, every dish we ordered was very delicious. The service was great our waiter was so nice, professional and friendly . His name is Gian B. I highly recommended this place. My family and I were very lucky in our last day in Florida .“
“It’s a cool place, I won’t take that away from them. But I’ve been there a few times and there’s definitely an “in” crowd that seems to be there every time I go. Kind of feels cliquey. And I’ve asked for flavored tea a few times and idk if they’re out or just not listening but I end up with a non flavored tea that I just kind of accept and deal with. It would be nice if the bartenders or whatever you call them actually ask your name or say thank you after you pay them instead of just walking away. Just seems like there’s two rungs of service.“
“The Golden Lion Pub is our go-to spot for a reliable drink and a warm atmosphere. We visit a few times a month and are never disappointed. The pub is always bustling with energy, but William, the fantastic bartender, always manages to make us feel welcome and attended to. His kindness and attentiveness to every customer's needs are truly impressive. He sets the tone for a friendly and inviting experience. Keep up the great work, William! We'll keep coming back for more.“
“I dii oh d not see any food there BUT all you have to do is buy a drinks and you can play any game you want after that l. The drinks are pretty good too just be prepared to pay atleast 13 for each. Love this place and will be back! FYI- Bring your ID!“
“Short and sweet here. I will say if you're vegetarian, there's like no options besides the giant pancake that I highly recommend. Apparently there was a veggie burger that i did not see, so i can't give perfect advice here. Coffee man... there's not really any coffee that hurt, felt like I was coming into an Ihop with breakfast styled food but no real coffee. Anyway the service? Man, these ladies were trying so hard to keep the disappointment from me from spiraling just her excitement and positive attitude helped not dislike this place entirely.If you're gonna get anything, get the pancake! Best advice I can give.“
“The best margaritas in Wilton Manors…and I tried a lot of margaritas on our vacation in the area. The bar has a great atmosphere with both the inside and outside areas feeling upmarket but without being pretentious. A nice mix of people from across the community and the drinks were both excellent quality and excellent value. Classic margaritas, smoked old fashions, cosmos and espresso martinis were all on point.“
“12/30/23 8:30pm We arrived after the peek dinner rush and were able to get right in. Our Waiter was great. Clam Chowder and Appetizers were Great with generous portions. We had Octopus and bacon wrapper scallops. Great Garlic bread. Main entrees were spot on and again generous portions. We had Jambalaya and the lobster pasta. The seafood was fresh and cooked to perfection. Had Key lime pie for dessert and that completed a great dinner. Prices were very reasonable and the serving time was perfect with no delays between courses. Definetly worth the drive from the beach resort (14 mins) easy parking. Casual Fun atmosphere. Its a Keeper!“
“We haven't been here in 7 years. It used to be a local spot on the water with good deals. They've done a little remodel on the deck, and now the prices are full on. Happy hour is Monday through Thursday and the deals are not that amazing. The views are still great, the food was okay.“
“I stopped by for breakfast, and had a very pleasant time . Staff was gave a warm welcome and were very professional. They offer fresh cold pressed juices, which was nice. The Garden bowl is a must try. Eating outside near the pool was the perfect start to the day !“
“Our experience at Beach House was nothing short of delightful. From start to finish, the food, service, and atmosphere exceeded our expectations. We're already counting down the days until our next visit! Nestled right on the beach with an open-air concept, Beach House offers breathtaking views and a fun, beachy decor that sets the perfect tone for a memorable dining experience. During our brunch visit, we were blown away by the quality and flavor of every dish we tried. The fish dip, sausage gravy, and breakfast potatoes were all standout favorites, showcasing the chef's skill and attention to detail. The ambiance, coupled with the stunning ocean view, creates the perfect backdrop for a relaxing meal. And let's not forget about the service--consistently excellent, with food arriving piping hot and bursting with flavor. Pro tip: If you want one of those coveted tables overlooking the beach, be sure to make a reservation in advance! All in all, Beach House is a must-visit destination for anyone craving great food, excellent service, and unbeatable ocean views. We'll definitely be back for more!“
“We LOVE Joe!!!! My friend desperately wanted to play Pool so we stopped by this bar, not sure what to expect. It was one of those nights you expect to turn in early but end up having so much fun that you stay out for much longer. The bar has 3 pool tables, 3 dart boards, and some video games. Bring cash if you want to play pool! No beer on draft but a good selection of beer options. Joe was the only one working the bar and he made us feel at home even though it was our first time here. I think he is a huge part of why folks come and stay at this bar.“
“Went to this rooftop for a girls day and it was beyond my expectations. Everything about it was a 10/10. The food was absolutely amazing and the drinks were top notch. Had a few plates to share and into the sunset cocktail. The music and views were great. Cant wait to be back!“
“I thoroughly enjoy dining at this restaurant located alongside the New River in Fort Lauderdale. Sitting on the dock, watching boats pass by, adds to the charm. First, I savor my cocktail, and then I indulge in the particularly delicious appetizers.Today; my spouse, my son, my daughter-in-law and my grandson joined me for another visit. Once again, we sat on the dock right by the water. However, I must emphasize that making a reservation a few days in advance is essential; otherwise, securing a table can be quite challenging.Happy hour drink specials are available every day between 4:00 PM and 6:30 PM, and except for weekends, there are happy hour food options on weekdays. You can also visit for Sunday brunch from 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM, although we usually come here exclusively for dinner.As always, we ordered a variety of starters to share. The Guacamole, Spicy Sautéed Shrimp, Crab Cake, Loaded Potato Dipper and Pepperoni Flatbread were especially delightful. However, I found the Steamed Mussels somewhat mediocre and not to my taste. Previously, there used to be a delicious octopus dish with a special sauce and potatoes, but unfortunately, it was absent from the current menu. When I inquired, I was informed that the chef had changed, and the dish was no longer offered. It truly was a starter worth trying, and perhaps they’ll reintroduce it after some time.Even if you’re not in Fort Lauderdale, I highly recommend visiting this restaurant if you’re in the nearby cities. Especially if you appreciate waterfront views and enjoy watching different boats and yachts pass by while dining, it offers a truly unique and elegant waterfront dining experience. Boaters can also dock their boats here for a meal.Wheelchair accessibility: Two handicapped parking lots are available just in front of the restaurant. The restaurant is wheelchair accessible. There are a lot of paid parking lots next to the restaurant.“
“Very cool whiskey bar. They are "connected" by a courtyard to Quarterdeck, where you can order food, but we just got drinks. Very good drinks. We were pleased with the selection (which is so much more than just whiskey). We would come back. Great place to bring a date for a pre- or post-dinner libation!“
“They play DnB here!!!! Woohoo. Last Saturday of most months. Everyone we meet here is cool people. Very laid back atmosphere. There's video games, pretty much, everywhere you sit, at bar and at booths. Bathrooms are clean too ?. They usually have food outside. Parking is convenient and free. Tenth Level is located @ Dixie a lil north of Oakland. Cool lighting, Cool people. Cool music. What else could you ask for!!!!“
“Cigar Bar Republic is a gem. The owners radiate warmth, making you feel like family from the moment you step in. Their passion for cigars is palpable, and not to mention a great music playlist that sets the perfect vibe for a memorable experience. A must-visit!“
“We've been going to Prison Pals every so often during the past year & have always enjoyed the food & drinks. My personal favorite are the smoothie beers, which are so yummy & different from anything else I've ever had! We loved the food too, especially the empanadas so I was so disappointed to find out that they no longer make them. Hopefully they bring them back because they were amazing, especially with some cilantro aioli!“
“Amazing new pizza place. Great menu. There are lots of options for everyone. The pizza was very good. Fried cheese was delicious, as was the jumbo soft pretzel. Many gelato flavors for dessert and wonderful canollis. Next time, I'll try the zeppolis. The staff was attentive. Our waitress was jasmine and she was great about explaining the menu options. No complaints! Will be back. .“
“Excellent food, service and great atmosphere. The owner met us outside earlier giving us a rundown and the history of his restaurant which was nice. The four of us had steamers , a burger, mahi-mahi, beef fajita and jambalaya. Best jambalaya ever. We can’t wait to go back.“
“I cannot say one bad thing! I almost don't want to say anything because this place is so great, I want to keep it to myself! However, the word must be out because the vibe.... Awesome! The beer is cold and tasty and they have wine too. The food trucks are phenomenal, BUT THE WHOLE VIBE!! So welcoming and friendly! I come to town about 5 times a year and will definitely stop in each and every time!!“
“Amazing place right in front of the water. Server are always happy and friendly. I come very often a couple times a month, piña colada’s are the best. Coconut Shimp without comparison. Always the best. And the oyster fresh as could be. I recommend if you around.“
“What a great place to ramp up or wine down for the night. Whether you are looking for amazing pre meal cocktails or a fabulous nightcap, Monica at Preston’s will take care of you! Sincerely one of the best bartenders I have had over my years of travel. Her personality, attentiveness and mixology skills are amazing! The next time you find yourself in Las Olas stop by Preston’s, listen to some beautiful piano music and most importantly pull up to the bar and have an amazing cocktail or two prepared by the outstanding Monica!!!“
“Weekend buffet: The best Indian buffet we've had in years. And certainly the most upscale. (Of course, the pandemic put an end to buffets and many restaurants chose not to offer buffets anymore so there hasn't been much choice.)Still, the space is elegant and the buffet is displayed nicely. The side nearest the main seating area is non-veg; the side nearest the wall is vegetarian. (As vegetarians, we didn't look at the meat side.) We were told they change up the dishes all the time.On our visit there were two mango desserts, one cold, one hot. Three appetizers: spinach pakora, spiced chickpeas and upma, plus pieces of naan bread and pappadum. Three entrees: a potato dish (dry, not in a sauce), dal makhani, and a paneer dish in red sauce. Then white rice, a spiced rice dish, and sambar soup, plus a vegetable biryani directly opposite on the otherwise meat side.After that at a smaller table was a dosa station, where dosas were made fresh by request and brought to your table when ready so you don't have to stand there and wait. (We chose potato filling and they were delicious!) Also at this table there was pani puri and the typical condiments such as cilantro coconut sauce, tamarind, lime pickle, etc.Lastly, there was hot chai tea and a cold beverage that could have been an herbal tea.The weekend buffet was $24 per person. You can also pay extra for bottomless mimosas. We did not, but I think I saw somewhere that it's $12. During the week the buffet is offered only on Friday. We were told Friday's is smaller, so it probably costs less but we didn't ask.We certainly had enough to eat. The dishes were not as hot spicewise as we normally like, and while the options weren't our favorites we enjoyed our lunch. We will definitely go back.“
“A great Sunday afternoon bar to have drinks catch up on Sports and to mingle.Booth set up outside with great food Change on a daily basis. With games outside for entertainments Dart machine inside.Perfect bar to spend a weekend afternoon on the drive“
“Uncle Kimmy’s is the best neighborhood bar at the beach! Last night was ladies night. The music was great. The people are so warm and welcoming and the owner is an amazing woman who makes everyone feel right at home. You gotta go for guaranteed good vibes!“
“The DJ was great! The food was cold and the outfits that the girls were wearing were a bit trashy for the atmosphere. You can be sexy and classy at the same time. Bras and boxer shorts don’t really fit the aesthetic of the theme of the bar. I will visit again and give the food another try since the views are so beautiful and the music is great.“
“Neighborhood restaurant, that is my favorite lunch spot.Hard and cold sandwiches and wraps are all good. Meatball sub and fish and chips are two of my favs. $6 wine, beer, and bar drinks along with Pepsi products make this my choice when in Wilton Manors for a meal.“

“If I could have given 10 stars for each category, I would have. Had dinner there last night and have never been more impressed with a restaurant menu, staff, atmosphere... everything. Patricia was my waitress, and was an absolute delight to talk to and to provide us service. She gave us fantastic descriptions of just about everything on the menu, and quite frankly I wished I could have ordered everything because they all sounded great! When I asked her what she liked the most, rather than pick the most expensive thing on the menu, she chose a fish dish that I have no doubt would have been terrific. As it was, I chose the king crab, and my wife chose lobster and steak... and we enjoyed every delicious bite of both entrees. Patricia was promptly there with warm cloths for our hands, to ensure our meals were satisfactory, and to even take pictures of us enjoying the dinner on the patio with a fantastic view of the ocean on a gorgeous 78 degree evening. Again, I cannot recall a restaurant that I enjoyed being at more... and I have enjoyed many great restaurants. If you are ever in the Fort Lauderdale area, do yourself a huge favor and reserve a table at Tuluck's. If Patricia is working, do yourself another favor and ask to be seated in her area. You will not regret it.“
“This very unique old movie theatre vibe bar is a site to see if visiting the Las Olas strip in the heart of Fort Lauderdale. The inside has many movie theatre type billboards displayed around the top and a very relaxed velvet booth with the Palm Room logo displayed on the wall. The bathroom was clean too.“
“Happy Hour - made our own platter of ceviche, oysters, poke, and Conch Salad. We also got crab guacamole, brussel sprouts and a fish sandwich. Everything was delicious and the service was great! Also the hostess was so sweet and accommodating we will definitely return!“
