New American Restaurants near Oakland Park, FL

“Thomas went above and beyond to make my first experience at huey magoos spectacular & amazing. He Was so patient and walked me through the entire process of ordering through the app and gave me suggestions honestly. Given that their chicken is out of this world and all of the employees have an incredible vibe, I have to give this a 100 out of 10 when it comes to restaurants in the area!! Kudos. A+++ and yes!!!! good good job! ******“

“This is the best chicken kitchen in Florida. My coworker introduced me to this place. I get the bazooka with extra skin and garlic cilantro sauce 😋 They are very friendly and when I found out it was family owned it made perfect sense why the food was so good. Simon is the best!!“

“I went for my Birthday yesterday and had to run and make a review, at first I was a little disappointed due to my food not coming out the way I requested. When I say the manager made up for that in a tremendous way! He was pleased to serve me another order it came out hot and everything was perfect and delicious!! They deserve 5 stars effortlessly!! Last time there I had the Branzino which o do recommend! This time I did the Salmon, Calamari and we had dessert which also was amazing“

“Alejandro was an amazing server and had a great time with our table. Food was great, but one of the items was out and we had to request something different. Not Alejandro's fault and he made sure we were only charged what we actually ordered. Would definitely go again!“

“Manager Travis at the Cherry ST in Tulsa Oklahoma- was so knowledgeable- answered all our allergy questions and was patient and also was able to explain what was on each taco Food was fresh and very good and tasty! Velvet“

“Nice location on Las Olas!
The atmosphere is great, and the frozen Piña Colada did not disappoint. The menu is a bit limited, so I just had the chips and salsa—not really what I was in the mood for food-wise—but I did enjoy browsing through the connected Tommy Bahama store and got some shopping done. Overall, a pleasant stop!“

“Great Sevice, Great staff and always friendly. Jaylin was super helpful & kind! Will be back !!“

“Checked out this great restaurant last night. The food was magnificent. Wow!! Everything was so tasty and the flavors melded well. Please check it out. We had the Jerk Plaintain, Thai style Charred cabbage salad, which had some great tasting pork, sweet and tangy wings and the Thai style crab fried rice. Can’t wait to go back and try the snapper.“

“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!“

“We had the best dinner at a local Plantation restaurant - we highly recommend Burtons Grill & Bar! The service was amazing, everyone was so friendly and accommodating and even the Manager came over to our table to thank us. I had a beautiful (large) salad topped with Thai steak and it was healthy and delicious. Ron almost always orders a burger and it was cooked perfectly with a large amount of awesome fries. The nice thing we liked about it, also, is that there is a lovely outdoor patio with fans and very comfortable. Our server was delightful, and we noticed that ALL of the servers were smiling and attentive to everyone! Oh, yes, we will be back!!“

“Such a lovely safe haven for those at sea and vacationers looking for a place to rest before a cruise! There are tons of activities for kids like air hockey, foosball, and more while you wait for the food. We had the grilled chicken special (off menu) and gyro plate. Everything was made to order and fresh!“

“amazing all the time! definitely a must“

“This place has been a go 24 twenty years.I've been coming down here and i'm from the northeast.It's one of the best pizza joints in southeast florida.If you can't be in new york or philly, then don't have pizza.But if you're gonna be down in the fort lauderdale area, go here for sure“

“Exceeded expectations! Stromboli was better than any previously enjoyed, delivery was quick and FREE! Highly recommend“

“Nice atmosphere, good food.“

“Amazing experience from start to finish. Chad provided great service—attentive, friendly, and on point. The food was outstanding: the 1 lb meatball was huge and flavorful, the chicken wings were perfectly cooked, the crispy jalapeño potatoes had the right kick, and the wedge burger was fresh, juicy, and delicious. Everything came out hot and tasted amazing. Will definitely be back!

If you want it shorter, more casual, or extra hype, I can tweak the tone.“

“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“

“Hooks Catch Seafood in Coral Springs delivered one of the best casual seafood meals we’ve had in a long time. Everything arrived hot and seasoned just right—flavorful without being salty. The team working there is genuinely kind, and we even had the chance to meet the owner’s son, who was just as friendly and welcoming.

The blackened catfish was absolutely perfect, cooked with care and great flavor. The French fries deserve their own mention: crisp, clean, and cooked in their own dedicated oil, which means no contamination and no heavy salt. The chicken was just as impressive—hot, juicy, and full of flavor.

The restaurant is kept clean, including the bathroom, and they offer drink refills, which is always appreciated. Hooks is the kind of place where the food is great and the people make it even better.“

“Wow! Thinnest crust pizza in Fort Lauderdale! And Monday through Wednesday even thinner! Also, extra crisp option available! A blessing from the Gods, one of whom is probably the pizza chef, himself. (I swear I’ve seen him levitate a couple times.)“

“There is nothing on their menu that isn't fresh. So very good! The staff is very attentive and friendly! This is a hidden gem in Margate!“

“We stopped in on our way to the airport to go home to Iowa. The food was exceptional and the best meal we had while in Florida. One of the best meals I’ve had in a long time, actually. It was our first experience with kosher food and the owner explained everything to us in detail. Highly recommend!“

“My husband and I started going to Mya Papaya a few JJ the ago and now we are there a couple times a weeks and bringing friends. I am a newish vegan and love the extensive vegan and omnivore choices for families like ours!“

“We had a wonderful lunch!“

“Me encantó el muy buen servicio y la comida. Mi Ahi Tuna plate estaba espectacular sobre todo el cauliflower rice… Awesome!!!“

“Great pizza best prices around, lots of other food options as well“

“I returned to J Alexander's after a hiatus due to an unfortunate experience for my dinner party. The service and food quality was well below my memories for this location.

Last evening we were greeted with a friendly host team, sat and our servicer greeted us moments later. Our server was Chanel, and she hit ALL points of service making our meal enjoyable and unrushed. The food quality was back to the standard I knew of this restaurant, and will definitely start recommending the location again, as I did in the past.

Thanks to the whole J_Alexander's team for a great evening out with friends.“

“Excellent Lunch and service.
The management team and staff are top notch. We took mom for her 78th bday and had an issue with our reservation. Ian and team went above and beyond and I mean way above and beyond to rectify the issue. I felt like we were in a top notch county club with all of the staff taking care of us. J Alexander’s is the real deal company. They actually care about their guests. That’s hard to find nowadays. We will be back and continue to tell everybody about how phenomenal the management, service and of course the delicious always consistent food is.“

“Our server, Natalee, was great! She was very attentive and helpful!“

“Food and service was good“

“Jason was absolutely the best ever ty for an amazing first experience at this establishment“

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

“Food was very subpar. Ordered few main dishes and no one at the table liked anything. Service was really bad. There 2 waiter were working who were making drinks also If you asked for anything it would take 10-15 mins to get anything and you would ask couple of times since they were so busy.“

“We had such a lovely dining experience this evening at Runyons! The staff was very attentive, professional, and friendly. The food was amazing and the vibe was exactly what we were looking for. It is truly my go-to spot for special occasions, intimate dinners, and a great stop in for happy hour. I also truly enjoy supporting local, family-owned businesses. We'll see you soon!“
