"The laid-back vibe at Coconuts is a refreshing surprise amid the buzzy Fort Lauderdale Beach scene. Tucked along the Intracoastal, it’s best known for Scoobies — buttery crab claws that are pure bliss. Customers will also find a killer mahi sandwich, creamy smoked fish dip, and crunchy conch fritters that hold their own."
"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."
"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."
"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."
Locals flock for Scoobies crab claws, boat-watching, and a breezy patio that nails Fort Lauderdale’s spirit. Frequently highlighted by Eater Miami and praised by Miami.com, it’s a relaxed place for fresh catch, smoked fish dip, and sunset cocktails.
