Not the same location in the picture. Moved to a three store front on main road. Clean, modern, open dining area with single tables put together with cafeteria furniture. Menu is very limited. The food was well prepared but lacked presentation, portion and flavor. Felt like a new venture that has potential but has a ways to go. Server had inviting personality but was solo and running. Orders came out slow. Keep improving menu. Be creative, Charge less serve more build clientele.

This place can improve everything with time. But for now, it's alright for a quick little bite. Not up to it's price. Smaller portions than other places. Different than previous pics and reviews. Newer venture.

Do not order from Buoy Bites through ChowNow! The restaurant says they aren't working with ChowNow despite having it on their website. The restaurant won't notify you, won't fulfill your order and you'll still get charged. Not cool.

Excellent place with amazing food. Everything we ate was fresh. This was my first time coming in for dinner and I was not disappointed. We had their fried shrimp which were amazing since they were made from scratch and not frozen. Their seafood pasta was so full of flavor and loaded with a variety of seafood. I found a new spot for me to come back to. I highly recommend it 5 stars!!!

Bout Bar has great service, thank you Yvonne! Delicious seafood made to order. Calamari, crab cakes, Fisherman’s Basket and a flounder sandwich were all amazing. A must check out if you’re in Fort Lauderdale.

I had real high hopes for this place as ratings were so high and I love seafood. But only to find out the everything was fried. i don't mind some fried but everything.....
I got the seafood platter which was pretty good. The bucket of mussels in scampi are so so good. Absolutely incredible.

Food was over priced, over cooked and over hyped. Serving sizes were too small. Too much sugar in the sweet potatoes. No veggie side available. Thai Salmon could have been good, but cooked well - done was burned. Cooked Medium was too well done. Not sure what all the other reviewers saw. I wondered if the other reviews were real. If our experience is repeated too often, their 4.7 rating will drop significantly.

3.5⭐ the service and prices were top notch. Food was made fresh and served hot however they forgot the seasoning. In their defense they gladly provided Old Bay seasoning. I had the Fishermans Platter and after adding some seasonings it was very good. The Thai Glazed Shrimp on the other hand was Very Good without any enhancements.

Great place for seafood. It doesn't look like much but the taste and quality is better than some more expensive seafood places. The people are very friendly and will answer any questions you might have. You place your order at the window and before you know it it's ready to either take home or they do have some tables outside for dining.It's a place you would probably not notice when driving down the street, it is definitely a hidden gem. So the next time you feel like some seafood and you're in the area take the time to stop and enjoy the food they serve.

I ate at Buoy Bites Seafood Shack for the first time today. The food was so delicious and the service, by Michael, was excellent. I ordered a crab cake surrounded by flavored corn and also the fried shrimp. Both were incredibly delicious. I will be back and I highly recommend.
