50 Best American Restaurants near Lighthouse Point

“Perfect for take-out! I ordered the NY Strip with steak fries, sautéed mushrooms and onion, and a Caesar salad. My SO ordered the parmesean chicken with the loaded mashed potatoes and broccoli and everything was PHENOMENAL. The food was hot, fresh, correct, and prepared with care. I even paid less than I would have for the same exact thing at Outback!! Support this local business!!“

“Great service. Went for my birthday breakfast. No nonsense place just the way I like it. Food was great. Service was great and the clientele it's very nice. Just a great vibe of good people. Grateful for my birthday experience and I will be back.“

“This restaurant exceeded my expectations. We had a group of 4 and we all loved our meals. Fresh ingredients with lots of flavor. The menu is huge, so many options including a large array of salads, wraps, seafood + so much more. Nice cocktails at reasonable prices. Our server, Boomin, brought out our meals nice and hot which is important to me. All meals were exactly as ordered and drinks were refilled. Thank you!
The restaurant has a fun, casual atmosphere including a large fish tank with tropical fish near the entrance.“

“Burger is absolutely fantastic. Servers and bartenders are super nice. Live music and vibes peak on Friday nights. Good pool tables and amazing pool players – some of the best you’ll find in a bar, but not for the feint of heart – during the week. Some of the pool players are so good it pisses people off (but that just makes them lame in my opinion).“

“Tanner is a bright young g man with a wonderful personality. He has a manager’s personality actually - seems like a natural leader.

He’s very good with people, pays close attention to detail, cares about quality and properly followed up after the food arrived. ***** service.

Happy to have had this experience with him.“

“I stopped by this local diner for a quick breakfast before heading out on a trip, and it turned out to be the perfect way to start the day. The place had a cozy, welcoming atmosphere with friendly staff and that classic diner feel that makes you want to stay a little longer. Even though I was just passing through, I felt right at home from the moment I walked in.

I ordered the eggs Benedict, a stack of pancakes, and a cup of coffee. The eggs Benedict was excellent, with perfectly poached eggs, a toasted English muffin, and a rich, creamy hollandaise sauce that tied everything together. The pancakes were light, fluffy, and just sweet enough to complement the savory flavors of the Benedict without feeling too heavy. A hot cup of coffee rounded out the meal perfectly, making everything pair together surprisingly well and giving me the boost I needed before getting back on the road.

The staff was warm, attentive, and had my food out quickly without sacrificing quality, which I really appreciated since I was traveling. Overall, it was a wonderful breakfast with delicious food, great coffee, and excellent service. I'd definitely make another stop here the next time I'm passing through the area.“

“We’re foodies based in NYC and seasonal Floridians and this one of our favorites ! Last night our server Orin and Chef Ivan outdid themselves!! Everything was fabulous!! Great food and service!“

“So I needed a place to eat/celebrate my birthday and MOST places when you have a big party (we had 18x ppl) wanna give you a set menu or charge you for this and that or just WONT TAKE RESV with this number :( . BUT, we had no issue at all booking here!!! And aren't we super HAPPY we did!!! From walking in and the hostess wishing me a Happy Birthday and she was just a pleasure , to the staff being highly entertaining and engaging, to the FOOD (omgggggg YUMMY)!! We all ordered appetizers, salads, dinners, and desserts and EVERYTHING was PHENOMENAL!! We had zero complaints and for being such a large party that's usually impossible! We will definitely be back!!!
Also, we checked out the speak easy for an after dinner drink and it was beautiful with a great bartender and wonderful live music!!!“

“On June 16, we went to Kaluz Restaurant in Fort Lauderdale to celebrate my mother’s 85th birthday. We are regulars at Kaluz to the point where we have the cell phone numbers of several employees. In a nutshell, Anthony, the manager, should not hold that position in a restaurant like Kaluz. My husband and Anthony exchanged words and Anthony’s solution to the issue was telling us, “You should not come back here. The owners do not want parties larger than five people.” My jaw dropped. I could not believe that a manager’s solution to an issue about seating us sooner, while we waited for two other people in our party, especially since my 85-year-old mother could not stand for long, was to tell us, on two separate occasions, that we should not come back. Anthony also put the entire blame on the owners of the restaurant. We go to Kaluz almost on a weekly basis, tip extremely well and have taken countless people there that have also ended up being regulars at Kaluz. No restaurant manager should EVER tell a customer, regular or not, to not come back regardless of the issue. Needless to say, we will not be going back to Kaluz as long as Anthony continues working“

“Delicious food, prompt and friendly service, great location, no wait to be seated on a Sun. morning!“

“Friendly service and great vegan cuisines. The “ Smoke in woods and High Steak was delicious. The flavors and seasoning was flavorful . Love the taste of eating good Vegan food. Even if you’re not Vegan you should give this try.“

“Amazing place. Great food and drinks. Brunch with so good , glad they have brunch now. Highly recommend , for brunch or lunch or dinner. Or just a great place to just hang out with friends and have great drinks.“

“My friend’s dad recently moved to Pompano, so I’ve been playing tour guide, taking them around to all the local spots. J Marks isn’t the obvious pick, it’s not the place that jumps to mind first. But it was rainy, we wanted indoor seating, and I’d only been twice before, so I figured why not. Best decision of the week.We went full appetizer buffet at the table , ahi tuna (my friend officially declared the best she’s ever had, and she doesn’t hand that out lightly), and mussels in a sauce so good it could go toe-to-toe with any top Italian kitchen, with just the right kick of spice. High praise since her dad is Italian and doesn’t hand out Italian-sauce compliments easily either. I don’t even eat mussels and I was fighting for bread to mop it up and the kitchen had our back, sending out garlic bread with the mussels, then the waitress swooped in with an extra basket of piping hot homemade rolls just for sauce duty. We also ordered the calamari, lightly fried and perfectly crisp, with her dad specifically requesting “as many tentacles as possible”, he said it was the most tentacle action he’s gotten at a restaurant in years. Crab cake was solid too- not the best I’ve ever had, but absolutely worth ordering. And dessert was the “seven layer” carrot cake, which was really six layers by my count, but every one of them delicious. My extremely picky-about-espresso-martinis girlfriend gave hers the ultimate compliment: she ordered three. (Don’t worry, I was driving.)The real MVP moment though: her dad has cochlear implants and serious tinnitus, and the speakers overhead were doing him no favors. We flagged the hostess, the manager Dani, came right over and personally turned down the volume in our whole section, then chased us down on our way out to hand him her card , “next time, call me directly, I’ll take care of everything.”Service was a 10/10. In this day and age, that kind of care is basically a unicorn sighting. Huge shoutout to the kitchen and an even bigger one to J Marks for hiring people who actually give a damn. Already planning our next visit!“

“Great food, great service, great atmosphere!
Terrell was exceptional! I sat at the bar surrounded by huge TV’s watching College Football! Love this place!!!
It was my first visit here and Terrell assisted with my burger choice .. They have a very diverse amazing menu-
I can’t wait to work my way through all the choices!
I ordered the Double Bacon Smash Burger without pickles!
My pictures say it all! It was delicious! Crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside! Lot’s of bacon and lot’s of onions and cheese!
Soo yummy! A perfect smash!
The atmosphere is as cool as it gets! There’s a food truck inside making the spectacular milkshakes! I was too full to have one…
I highly recommend!!!“

“Been ordering lunch for 16 years now Commercial point cafe has the best food as it is always prepared fresh always hot and delivered fast and has a scrumptious variety on their menu of home favorites to gourmet creations. Try the cajun fries you'll get hooked try everything and you'll be hooked. you wont be sorry.“

“Crowded for the opening today, but the music ( she was wonderful) kept me dancin in the rain! Lovely employees passed out water, cookies and lemonade….. it was MARVELOUS 😄 I ordered the teriyaki chicken and rice and it was DELISH! Get there ASAP 🔥“

Truly a GEM!! 😍 My Brother will be back Tuesday 4/22 for a bunch of your amazingly succulent CinnaGEMbuns! They are so fluffy, and gooey with an exceptional crusted bottom that gives it that extra sweetness, and then with the most incredible drizzles! 🤤The homemade touch to all of it was so phenomenal! Thank you for all the hard work and the hours of love and time on your feet to give us the most delicious fresh made English muffins with a lightness and crunch matched to none!! 😁 My family was grieving that morning having breakfast there as we were in town for a funeral and I cannot tell you how much your place lifted our spirits with the warm, homemade comfort foods..we are still talking about it today! ☺️ Big 👏🏼 to everyone that served us.

“I invited 4 ladies for our Supper Club to join me at Seasons 52, which is usually held at one of our homes (we've been meeting for 15 years). With a few ladies out of town, this time we chose to get together at a restaurant, and I chose Seasons 52 because it is consistently a great choice. The food, the atmosphere and the service. Brenna was so helpful in suggesting a sparkling wine and flatbread to start, ready for us just as we were seated. The table was just perfect, very quiet. And the food was delicious. We so enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere and hospitality for our Supper Club dinner.“

“We had such an amazing wedding experience at Galuppi’s! Rain or shine, Ray and his team made sure our wedding day was unforgettable. My husband and I hosted our big family of 130 guests, including lots of children, on the Deck and Ceremony Terrace, and everything came together beautifully.

The weather caused us to make some adjustments to our original timeline, but Ray and his staff used their best judgment and experience to keep everything running smoothly. They were pleasant, accommodating, and helpful throughout the entire night, which allowed us to simply enjoy our wedding with our family and friends.

Our guests absolutely loved the food — and the kids especially could not stop talking about the chicken tenders! 😂 It made us so happy hearing how much everyone enjoyed themselves.

The vendors Ray recommended were also phenomenal. They were professional, made my family and me feel completely comfortable, and worked so well together with Ray and the Galuppi’s team. It truly felt like everyone was working together to make our day special.

We are so grateful to Ray and the entire Galuppi’s staff for helping make our wedding such a fun and memorable celebration. I would absolutely recommend Galuppi’s to anyone looking for a wedding venue, especially if you have a big family like ours!

We can’t wait to come back to Galuppi’s to celebrate our next major life event. ❤ Thank you for giving us a wedding day we will always remember!“

“Literally the very best burgers we’ve had in Florida! Cheffrey the food truck guy stopped by our table at least 2 times- what a personably guy- and I heard his music is pretty darn good too! The Mongolian Brussels sprouts were amazing! The seasoned fries and the truffle fries were outstanding! Can’t wait to go back soon (and bring our friends)!“

“Flavia is awesome! She’s great and the food was delicious“

“Yes! Great food and service!“

“Food and drinks were great! We had the lobster ravioli,the calamari which was DUMB GOOD, spinach dip, several fruit bomb shots and I had a carribean mama...delish! I do wish they had the spinach and mushroom ravioli from before when it was called Lips. Entertainment was even better. The show was full of sass and spice! Everyone was nice and helpful. My friend and I had the best time. Her first time, my second after many years. Definitely will go back.“

“We’ve been to Seasons 52 many times, but this visit was truly exceptional! We had such an amazing experience thanks to Bryan. His service was outstanding from beginning to end.

Bryan was extremely knowledgeable about the menu, including all the new dishes, and his attention to detail made the evening even more enjoyable. He constantly made sure everyone at our table was happy with their food and that our beverages were always taken care of.

The food was delicious! We started with the corn and bacon flatbread, which had such a great combination of flavors, along with the lobster and avocado. The corn soup was also very tasty. The pork chop was absolutely amazing—perfectly prepared and full of flavor. And to finish, the blueberry & lemon dessert was the perfect ending to a wonderful dinner.

Great food, beautiful atmosphere, and exceptional service. If you visit Seasons 52, definitely ask for Bryan. He truly made our evening special, and we will absolutely be back!“

“Would definitely come back here!! Cheyenne was amazing and would love to be served by her again!“

“The best German restaurant in the state. Bring back EDDY!“

“A really good find this morning for breakfast Good food good prices and very friendly“

“My first time here and I was impressed by the relaxing atmosphere. They have an intensive selection of alcohol and beer. If you are looking for an amazing old fashioned, I would suggest this place because they have a very large bourbon collection. The bartender was extremely friendly and very attentive. I would definitely recommend this place.“

“We had a birthday party for 11 people at Sixty Vines in Boca Raton on 4/21/25 and the food and service were both excellent. The manager, Austin was very friendly and accommodating. Sixty Vines is lucky to have him. Hannah was our waitress, and she was amazing. We had drinks, appetizers and each had a meal, and the total bill was very reasonable for all that we received. I would highly recommend this restaurant for a special occasion. I don't write reviews; however, we were all so surprised by how great our experience was I wanted to share.“

“the food is delicious and waitress staff is on point. Have never been disappointed. One of my go to places.“

“Fresh Kitchen got the food right! It’s fresh, flavorful and tastes homemade- this is rare for mass-prepped food. And the people are nice. However, I go to Bolay once per week and FK once per quarter. The portions are just so skimpy, I just don’t ever feel I got $20+ worth of food. Today, the server literally shook off the tongs until there was a pinch of spinach left to put in my container as a base and same sentiment for the kale, sprinkled the chickpeas dispensing less than half the scooper and put the rest back. Then, shook a few pieces of sweet potato off the top of the scooper…and put the rest back. It was like she was afraid to pour a scoop. I don’t eat poultry or red meat so I have to eat more food to get enough calories per meal. Fk meals are a snack before dinner. I would totally eat there at least once per week if I wouldn’t leave hungry. Another win for them…they shine like a diamond in the snack department. Also rare in the industry is a decent lower sugar vegan snack! The vegan chocolate chip cookies are ridiculously amazing! I buy 3 packs at a time every time. Sometimes I just go there for them alone!“

“great, kind service.....clean....and as usual, a great tuna melt.“
