Coconuts

"Part of the Be Nice restaurant group – creators of Foxy Brown, Top Hat Deli, Lunchroom, and more – this is a Fort Lauderdale Beach, intracoastal-side place-to-be. This is a Fido-friendly restaurant, and limited dockage is available on a first-come, first-serve basis. Post-docking, anchor any meal with its Scoobies – blue crab doused in garlic and oil." - Jesse Scott

"Among the long-time dish icons in Fort Lauderdale are the Scoobies – blue crab doused in butter, garlic, and a slight spice – at this Intracoastal-facing spot. Its other seafood selections are always stellar, too, spanning its ultra-crisped coconut shrimp and andouille sausage to shrimp-dashed jambalaya." - Jesse Scott

"Ah, the vibe is always so comparatively chill at Coconuts for being in the heart of the oft-raucous Fort Lauderdale Beach action. Tucked on the Intracoastal, its Scoobies – crab claws doused in butter – are the fan favorite. Fresh catch inspirations include a perfectly grilled mahi sandwich, smoked fish dip, and conch fritters." - Jesse Scott

"No one knew what a “scoobie” was until there were Coconuts. And, in case you need a refresher, it’s blue crab fried in oil and doused in garlic... and more garlic. There’s more to the timeless, waterside Coconuts experience, including its open-air patio, oyster bar, and a wild card, salami benedict come Sunday brunch." - Jesse Scott
