“If you want terrific food, great prices, and large portions look no further than this Hooks Fish and Chicken in Nort Lauderdale. The owners are funny terrific guys with a great staff that truly cares about their customers. Every fish platter I ve tried so far was delicious including the conch and they are as good as any restaurant quality food yet at fast food prices and service. I plan to try every fish platter and replace this healthier and way more delicious food over Mcdonalds, Burger King, Wendys, Checkers etc. - Eddie“

“Decided to celebrate our 21st wedding anniversary at Eddie V‘s. Everyone was friendly and chef prepared a special complementary tuna app for us, it was delightful. We started with cocktails and oysters Rockafeller, Candy ordered the salmon with a bourbon glaze over carrots that was very flavorful. I chose the 10 ounce fillet that was cooked perfect, although I wish I'd added an accompanying sauce, and a side of au gratin potatoes hit the spot. We kept the evening off with the bananas, fosters flambé table side, the perfect end to a perfect evening. And I didn't even talk about the specialty cocktails and extensive wine list. Can't wait to return....“

“I just celebrated my birthday there today 04/17/25 and it was exceptional. Wonderful staff, beautiful ambience. The food is great. I will be back.“

“Great happy hour and dinner experience. Very pleasant waiter handled our party of 7 well. Various offerings were ahi tuna tacos, cauliflower, Hamachi spoons, ceviche. The poppers for the table were to die for! One person had the Corvina, cooked perfectly. Great experience. Valet parking is $5.“

“Had a wonderful lunch here. Their ultimate sauce was very flavorful and I enjoyed the spicy level most. There seafood was also very fresh, the mussels were large and juicy 😋Also a five-star revew for their Lychee cocktail. Kiki served the meal and she was very nice and helpful!“

“We had an amazing time thanks to Dee, the bartender and mixologist who truly made our experience unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, Dee was welcoming, professional, and incredibly talented. The drinks were on point—crafted with skill, flavor, and style. Every cocktail was a work of art and perfectly balanced.“

“Coconuts has consistently been my "Go-To" spot when guests are in town or a special occasion comes up. From the Drink Menu & Appetizers to Deserts and everything in between; they have always been spot on! Valet makes parking easy in the busy beach area, taking away the hassle of having to find a spot. The staff is always kind and courteous- I especially appreciate the mindfulness when I mention my food allergies. I'm confident I can order anything off the menu and not have to worry about an accidental contamination and reaction. If you go- don't leave without ordering the Scoobies and a slice of Key Lime pie!“

“My husband did great choosing this place for my birthday dinner last week! My friends had the Mahi Mahi, husband had the grouper, and I had the fish special with orzo/crab fritters. For dessert we had key lime pie and the icky sticky. The octopus appetizer was great also. I had a guava punch cocktail. All around an enjoyable experience!“

“Tonight my wife and I had two guests , one from out of town , and we spent a few hrs on the boat. We stopped here for dinner and it was packed. A server named Allie came over and checked to make sure we were on the list.When we were seated Allie took great care of us and the meal was great !!! Entrees, drinks and appetizers all great - price was surprisingly fair“

“I cannot even explain the wonderful time we have as a family from the moment we walk into Embarcadero 41 until the moment we leave. The food at this restaurant is exceptional and the service is above and beyond our expectations. Valleria ALWAYS greets us with her warm and happy smile making us feel welcome everytime we visit. The last time we came we asked for her to take care of us but we will not in her assigned table group so Rafealla was kind enough to let her help us they both did a incredible job at taking care of us together!“

“Visited from the UK, absolutely stunning place to visit, the outside could do with a bit of a makeover, but the inside and harbour were stunning. Everyone was so friendly and the food was delicious.“

“I can't get enough of this place; everything is fresh and tasty and the prices are good. I'm there at least once a week and drive a half hour for their mahi mahi. The lobster rolls are big and meaty and the shrimp is always prepared perfectly.“

“The food was very good! I had the risotto with beef tenderloin, and it was delicious—rich, flavorful, and satisfying. However, I'm giving four stars because the portion of risotto was quite large compared to the amount of beef tenderloin. A bit more balance between the two would have made it perfect.“

“Wonderful place with super yummy food!“

“Awesome you need to go and try this place“

“Best seafood in Ft. Lauderdale!!“

“I was visiting from NJ and looking for the perfect Florida beach vibe. It was a Monday afternoon so I wasn’t expecting much When I walked In the Aruba Beach Cafe just in time for the 4pm Happy Hour and saw the Salty Pirates Duo on stage, I had to stay to check it out. The food was incredible, as was the really friendly waitress. The Salty Pirates were awesome and a lot of fun. Looking forward to returning next time I’m in the area!“

“Terrific waterfront restaurant with a great view and delicious food and good service. I highly recommend visiting oceans 234.“

“Had a great time at lucky fish Beach bar and grill for several evenings while I was in pompano beach. Met some great people. We listened to the live music and dance the night away. Great drinks and great service. What a fun place right on the beach!!“

“Great Food Excellent Service & Extremely Classy 💕“

“We love JBs and when we came a bit later in the afternoon there was a band playing then it switched to dinner. Great patio facing the beach and the service keeps up with busy times...The food is great and costs meet it with a family of four but the atmosphere is what really draws people here.

Parking: JBs is located on a busy bend by the pier in Deerfield. It has pedestrians, bicycles and a whole array of cars always being dropped off, the valets do a great job!“

“Great Service from Daniel

I had a great experience at Hook Seafood & Wings thanks to Daniel, the cashier. From the moment I walked in, he was respectful, fast, and professional. He greeted everyone with a positive attitude, stayed focused even when it got busy, and made sure every customer was taken care of quickly and accurately.

What stood out the most was how patient and clear he was when explaining the menu or answering questions—he never made anyone feel rushed or ignored. You can tell he takes his job seriously and wants people to leave happy.

Definitely one of the best customer service experiences I’ve had in a while. Shout out to Daniel for holding it down and keeping the vibe solid!“

“Went for lunch on Saturday sat inside and it was the most delicious food I had in a long time The key lime pie was awesome and huge one slice Hubs had the conch with crab rice and didn’t enjoy the tiny fried pieces but would definitely go back and try something else again Can’t believe this was our first time“

“Amazing food!! Great dining experience!!!“

“I just wanted to say that this place is a hands downnnnnn 12 outta 10!!! We came with our family of a party of 40 and they an amazingggggg job!!! Definitely coming back soonn!!���“

“These guys are THE BEST. Not only is the food just as amazing as it’s always been (I’ve been a semi-regular for nearly 25 years), but the staff and management are top notch. Recently my best friend passed and his brother knew he loved Catfish Dewey’s, so he wanted to have a dinner there with local friends, neighbors, and colleagues. I went in and spoke to Joe, the manager. He assured they’d make it happen and they did so, flawlessly and with great attention to detail. They managed a party of nearly 48 people in addition to their regular clientele, even bringing in extra staff to help with the event. These folks went out of their way to make sure this special event went flawlessly and it did. The waitresses, whose names I cannot remember (I told you I wouldn’t…sorry! Ha!) were amazing. Food runners, on point. Bartenders, outstanding. Management, excellent. There’s a lot of love and care in this establishment and it should be celebrated. There’s not enough of that these days. Support local businesses who care, especially those with GREAT food AND great people like Catfish Deweys.“

“We had the calamari, twin lobsters, ravioli, broccolini, all were fantastic! Fresh, tender, buttery, exceptionally WOW. The service was on point, food was warm, beers were cold. We were there on a Saturday, parking was ample as other businesses were closed, the spot is on the corner. We are going back for more and remember you can BYOB. Thank you.“

“Reservation was for 7:30pm and when we arrived we were immediately seated. Restaurant seemed bright for dinner service. 30-45mins into dinner they dimmed the dinning room. Drinks were ok but not to the level for this establishment. We ordered crab cakes and oysters Rockefeller. Oysters were great. Crab cakes were a little underwhelming. We went with the 50oz waygu tomahawk, medium rare, truffle mashed potatoes, corn pudding, cream spinach. The steak was amazing and almost fell apart in your mouth. Truffle Mashed Potatoes and corn were great but cream spinach was not and we did not finish it. I have to say that the service level was top of line and a highlight of dinner. All in all just a good dinner but not great especially for a Michelin Nod restaurant and the price point. There are better steak houses in Ft Lauderdale.“

“Amazing food and staff. Treated like family. Highly recommend!!“

“AMAZING!!! I'm not a fan of seafood, but I went to Kelly's Restaurant and was amazed. They have delicious food. They're also famous for their lobster. 100% recommended. The staff are friendly and attentive, always smiling. Jake in particular was very attentive. He's very sweet and has a big smile. Excellent customer service. Thank you.“

“I had a private dinner with a large party yesterday and our experience was AMAZING. I have to give a huge shout out to Andre. He was kind and really worked with me to make the event special and run smoothly. The staff went above and beyond, and it meant a lot to my friends and family. Thank you to the Boca Eddie Vs team for your attention to detail, working with my requests, and let’s not forget the incredible food! Thank you for making our day super special!“

“A MUST! Great place with a great vibe!!!“

“Best seafood in Florida I recommend this place“

“I come here on Sundays and the brunch menu is so good. This place has a great conch salad. There’s a live DJ who’s awesome too. 10/10 recommend coming here for lunch!“

“Delicious food and great service!“

“Real Florida seafood served with casual laid back feel. The service is always friendly. This is my go to place year round, can’t beat it!“

“We have been going here for 30 years. This is one of my favorite places to go!!!“

“Had the American burger. It was great. Ate at the bar and both bartenders were very attentive. Varied menu and relaxed atmosphere.“

“The original rum runner and a blackened Mahi Mahi sandwich after a day at the beach. Price is a little higher but fresh fish with a place with no freezers within a 3 hours drive? I’ll pay for that. Great job, awesome service. Nice day on local summer.“

“We had Kristie as our waitress. Service and food was amazing! I recommend this spot for dinner, brunch, or lunch! Will be back soon! Thank you again“

“What an amazing mistake walking up to the door. We thought it was the entrance for the corner spot. we cannot say enough about the service, staff and food here! Our hostess hooked us with her smile and pleasant suggestions to give them a shot. There were three of us, two had the grouper sandwich and I had the wrap. The sandwiches are huge! The rolls were fresh and fluffy. Definitely a must stop! We come fishing every year and definitely will be back. We caught Rick the manager on the way out and were able to share how pleased we were.“

“I'm not sure if my last review came through so I will repeat it. All of the reviews I've read on this place is what made me come here except for the ridiculously entitled people who complain about having to wait an extra 10 minutes. To attack a business because they're busy and they're doing their best to get you a seed is selfish and shows how much you think the world revolves around you. I wish they had an app that you can review the reviewer. I hope you get stuck in traffic for the next month. I hope the next time you have to crap in public The person that's in the bathroom before you has constipation. I also hope the next time you have a toothache The dentist gets a flat tire and makes you wait in the waiting room for 45 minutes. This is a great restaurant The food was very good The server was very nice never even paid attention to how long it took to see us I was actually kind of excited because the place was busy and I knew it was going to be good. I was not disappointed.“

“food was ok, thanks to our server Vicki she made everything better! Great service!! see her when u go!!“
