New American Restaurants near Wilton Manors, FL

“What a great addition to WM. They have been here almost a year and they are amazing. Food and cocktails are the best in the neighborhood. Thank you for wonderful service and atmosphere.“

“Great food and cool vibe. We heard about it while watching videos about Pittsburgh and had to check it out when we heard there was one nearby. Their famous sandwiches are definitely unique and worth a try. Can't wait to come back and try the pizza.“

“Love this place and wish they had another location near my home in Miami… Definitely always a treat!“

“This is one of our go to restaurants in Fort Lauderdale whenever we are here as it has never failed us. Usually, you can rely on the excellent service attention and the great food. Unfortunately, yesterday was below our expectations. Service was lacking and food was not up to its reputation. Appetizers were excellent but not the main course. My wife had the butterfish, which was good, but the rice (maybe soy sauce) that it was resting on was so salty and not edible. Our guest had the scallops with risotto which was also too salty. Definitely an off night but will surely go back again“

“The vibe of this place is extremely Miami. Everyone who worked there was conventionally attractive and it was very loud and a party place. Very different from what I’m used to so I was not expecting that but the food was excellent. I had the vegan guac, tofu lettuce tacos, and ate some of the power bowl (vegan w/o egg). Kinda salt but very, very tasty. They have a separate vegan and vegetarian menu on their website. Updated from previous review on 2025-12-20“

“Food was great and service provided by Angela was excellent. We always request her when we dine at Kaluz.“

“Naked Farmer Las Olas is a gem!
The food is fresh, flavorful, and you can really taste the farm-to-table quality. The roasted veggies and charred chicken were spot on, and everything felt clean and satisfying. Big shoutout to Kayleigh—she made the whole experience even better with her great recommendations and friendly vibe. Definitely a place I’ll be coming back to!“

“Brooke was fantastic, fun environment. hugh portions. great night“

“Amazing, we celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary with our family on August 23, Everything was amazing from the room setup to the service and food. Our family raved about the whole experience. And a special thank to Dani, The Momager. She was fabulous throughout our planning for our event. Hats off to all.“

“Great place for dinner & dancing. Food surprisingly fresh and good every time. Charging extra for a PIECE of bread with my salad, NOT COOL! I get inflation, but seriously, and especially since we were a table of 6 drinking & eating!“

“Great food and amazing customer service.“

“We love YOLO! My only complaint is that we had to wait 45 minutes past our reservation to be seated. The drinks were also not as good as usual. The service is always attentive and the food was very good! It's a fun environment and we enjoy every time (once seated).“

“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.“

“Our waitress Chelsea was an absolute pleasure. She was very attentive and always had a smile on her face. (Colgate smile, love it!) I ordered the chicken mango salad and it was good but the chicken was a little on the dry side, however, the ingredients of everything together was terrific!
The ambiance was definitely on par. There was live music, evening Christmas lights, and a subtle breeze that made this place such a relaxing experience. We were a party of 3 and they seated us immediately on a Saturday night.
Highly recommended!“

“We took my Mom to the Kester for her 85th Bday and she absolutely loved it. They are currently serving a limited menu as it’s quite new, but everything they did serve was outstanding!!! It’s in the newly renovated Marriott Pompano Beach and so it has a fresh clean design and indoor and outdoor seating by their beautiful updated pool area.

I asked if they have a Happy Hour and they they said they will have their new programming in the next month or so.

The staff was exceptional and really made my Mom feel special on her Bday! We already can’t wait to go back. Free Parking is included for up to 2hrs when you visit the restaurant so that was great as well.

Thanks for a lovely afternoon. See you soon .“

“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!“

“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“

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

“My 17 yea old had the whole Pampano and loved it!“

“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!“

“Jenna the bartender is amazing ? love the curry dish, service is also ?? good. Little pricey but worth it.“

“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“

“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.“

“Always reliable good food, menu and service.“

“amazing all the time! definitely a must“

“The food was amazing the servers are so nice best breakfast place I’ve been to in a while“

“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!!“

“The wife and I were shopping and we were hungry. We happen to look across the parking lot and saw Hook’s Catch. We walked in and put our order in, come to find out they didn’t have chicken livers. But we wound up getting what we wanted. Fried oysters instead of the chicken livers, which were actually amazing! Later on Josephine and Zaid pulled through! We got the chicken livers!!!! Thank you“

“I visited Primanti Brothers Restaurant, and I have to say I was a bit disappointed. I heard so many good things, but the food didn’t really match the hype for me. The sandwich was big, but the taste felt kind of average, and the fries were a little too salty. The place was busy, which is fine, but the service felt slow. The staff were nice, just not very attentive. I waited longer than I expected for my order. I really wanted to enjoy it more, but overall it just wasn’t what I hoped for. I’m not sure if I would go back again.“

“Nice atmosphere, good food.“

“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!“

“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.“

“We started with the guacamole which as always was delicious. The sweet potatoe chips that come with it are a must try. The west coast steak sandwich never disappoints. The kale slaw they put on it makes this sandwich hard to beat. Our friends had the chicken kebabs which are also fabulous and a nice size portion. My husband had the meatball which he loved. The only sort of negative thing is I would not go back on my birthday. Not that I need a free dessert but its a nice touch that they don't do. They did put a candle in the dessert we ordered but a small free scoop of ice cream or even a small dessert not on the menu goes a long way in my opinion.“

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

“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 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!“

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

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

“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!“

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

“Great spot for fast casual food!“

“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.“

“Incredible experience Great service Perfect location“

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

“We were so impressed with the menu choices, how nice everyone was & how delicious our food was. They definitely take so much pride in the food the serve. We will definitely recommend this restaurant. Our server Raanan was the best! Thank you for treating us like family 😊“

“We had a wonderful lunch!“

“We had breakfast on the veranda. I’ll give grace for the construction work; I knew about it before choosing to eat here. The circular saw use was a bit loud, but it was only a quick startle.

The food was good but my eggs Benedict and potatoes were cold and the eggs were borderline runny even for “soft”. My husband’s omelet was a bit light on add ins, at a $1 a piece.

Waitress was friendly but a little slow on coffee/tea refills. I did appreciate the offer of a to-go coffee.“

“Stayed in FT Lauderdale and visited the location there. Had a shrimp & sausage meal that was DELICIOUS! And we went to the Pampanos location & had the Wagu beef with a Maryland (authentic) crab cake plate that was one of (if not the best) meals I've had in years! Will always come back if ever in the area!“

“Great food, fun, and atmosphere. Excellent service don't miss a beat! 🩷“
