Fort Lauderdale Food: 6 Meals Not to Miss - AFAR

"A playful gastropub that launched on a patty melt and milkshake and has become a brunch institution known for inventive, indulgent comfort-food twists. Alongside staples like lump crab cakes, beef-a-roni, fish ’n’ chips, and pot roast, the rotating specials showcase creativity—examples include a burrito stuffed with grilled steak and gooey mac and cheese and French dip pancakes (shaved ribeye, caramelized onions, Swiss on pancakes with au jus and horseradish aioli). Weekend brunches are famously over-the-top with dishes like banana bread grilled cheese with Nutella and ricotta, s’mores waffles, and boozy milkshakes, and the friendly “be nice” ethos makes it feel welcoming. (Note: the restaurant is reportedly moving to a larger new location.)" - Amber Love Bond

Always a wonderful visit! The staff is great, along with the food and libations! They have a great brunch and Happy Hour as well. We typically sit at the bar, but any spot, inside or out is comfortable. Definitely ask for their specials!

Nice vibe very good food. Rainbow trout was meaty and delicious. The patty melt (their specialty) was excellent. Service was friendly and efficient. If you try it you'll like it.

One of the best breakfast places I have ever been in my life! Eggs Benedict had so much crab and adding the potato to it made it so much better! The bread pudding French toast was beyond amazing! The biscuits and gravy wow!!!! The service and my server were so warm and friendly! Very impressive!!!

Trendy, modern feel with a bar in the center, inside and outside seating. It was nothing special, but it wasn't bad. The steak was cooked absolutely perfectly. The menu was a little too rich/ sweet for my taste. Would have enjoyed a simple pancake or French toast option. The service was fair, but nothing special.

4 of us went here for Sunday Brunch, we arrived at 2:30pm just in time to miss the Brunch Rush, we were seated instantly. The place was easy to find. The decor is very modern with dark undertones, yet bright areas as well. It's very interesting. They do have both indoor and outdoor seating. Mary was our server. Ask for her, she was very knowledgeable and explained the menu well. The food was delicious. We shall return.

Enjoyed my visit. Niki was outstanding. She knew the menu very well and helped us choose and make modifications according to our tastes. With my grain bowl, I asked for chicken sausage rather than pork. Totally transformed the taste. My partner got the steak hash. The steak was moist and well seasoned. Overall, the food was fresh and tasty. Not over seasoned. Would definitely return.

Been coming here since they were on Broward, and it’s still just as amazing. The specials are always on point, the rotating fish is always a hit, and the wait staff is consistent and always top-notch. Honestly, they might need a second location — it’s that good.

Foxy Brown in Fort Lauderdale is a laid-back spot that serves comfort food with a fun, modern twist. We went for dinner and loved their creative selections. The portions are generous, and everything tastes homemade but elevated. Our favorite dish were the Beef-a-Roni and Patty Melt. Their apps and desserts are not to be missed! The space feels cozy and welcoming, and the staff is always friendly and attentive. It’s the kind of place you’ll want to come back to, whether for weekend brunch or a casual dinner out.

Our first time visit to Foxy's. Enjoyed it very much. Started with the octopus appetizer and the Parkerhouse rolls. The rolls were super soft and a good start. We only had 2 of the 4. Took the rest home. The octopus was super tender and a nice portion. We each had a glass of wine. My BF had the patty melt. Big sandwich with a lot of fries. He took half of it home. I had the poke bowl. I enjoyed having it with the farro. Came with avocado, wakame, pickles onions, cucumbers and chickpeas. Service was good. Portions were plentiful. Prices were very decent for the quantity. Glad we finally made it. Will be back again.

Let's talk about it. I've always been curious about this place, but I've never had the opportunity to stop by until I was having lunch with one of my business partners. We decided to split two entrées to try more of the menu since it was his first time visiting also. We decided to have the Cocka-Doodle-Doo sandwich and Short Rib Grilled Cheese. The sides that we had were fried Brussels sprouts and the deviled eggs. Now let's really get into it. The short rib grilled cheese sounds fantastic, but it was just poorly executed. This thing was a hard pass. I would never order this ever again. The chicken sandwich was pretty good. I mean, it was really basic. It was a grilled chicken sandwich. I would've preferred a fried chicken sandwich. The deviled eggs were just fine, not amazing, but just fine. But the fried Brussels sprouts were the saltiest thing I've had in a really long time. Will I come back? I don't know. But the place was pretty nice and the service was good, very attentive.

Highly recommend making reservations there. The service was pretty good and attentive. The decor felt a little retro with small modern touches here and there. When it comes to the brunch side of the house, I really enjoyed the doughnut holes with rotating cereal milk which was shareable as it came with several. The strawberry and cream waffle was pretty decent. The Sunrise Arepa was delicious, the dough was so tasty with pieces of corn throughout alongside crumbled chorizo on top spread evenly with an egg on top cooked to the way you would like! Overall a pretty good vibe with outdoor and indoor seating.

Reasonably priced bar and restaraunt in Fort Lauderdale. I had tve fresh fish sandwhich with fries. The server was attentive and there was plenty of drink and appetizer specials. This place it tucked in the back of a shopping plaza to the left of Whole Foods.

Yelp

Haven't been here since they expanded to the new location and chances are we won't be back. My wife booked the reservation for 4 people with a special note of a birthday celebration. Upon the hostess taking us to our "table" there was no mention of the birthday noted. The table in question was located nearly in the kitchen, in a secluded corner with a partition blocking the view the rest of the restaurant. Immediately the fun, buzzing brunch ambience was lost. Speaking of brunch, the verbiage noted on the website is misleading. We were very disappointed to find that the only menu available was the limited brunch menu (not the lunch menu). Perhaps rewording to "the only menu available on Saturday and Sunday is the brunch menu" would clarify. Our expectation of a delicious and fun birthday brunch at Foxy Brown for my wife was left with much to be desired. Diner style breakfast and small portions, lacking flavor and "brunch vibes".

Everything is so amazing. Mac and cheese is cheesy, a little bit of spice and delicious. Green bean fries, the sauce is so amazing. You can't eat them plain, they are just plain. Add the sauce and it's love. Honey butter rolls.. yum! came for a meal and ended up having a few appetizers and sides and I am full and happy!

Cute spot in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Plenty of parking in a few side parking lots. Walk over to restaurant. Plenty of seating outside on a nice day out with doggies, inside begins with a trendy bar area. Cute tables everywhere. Menu is delicious, and kitchen is open and busy. Foodie flavors made ud happy. Thanks for a lovely meal. Tempura Green Beans - delicious !! Pancakes Eggs benny Fresh Biscuit with homemade jam and butter Grain bowl with fruit

We stopped in for brunch at The Foxy Brown in Fort Lauderdale and the vibe was definitely on point. The place has that fun, laid-back brunch energy that makes you want to settle in for a long meal with friends. The food? Absolutely delivered. The standout for me was the biscuits and gravy. definitely not your traditional take. A little spicy, packed with flavor, and seriously satisfying. If you're looking for classic Southern biscuits and gravy, this isn't that, but in the best possible way. We also tried the chicken and waffles. While I wish they had used a chicken breast instead of wings (personal preference for brunch), the flavor was still really good. The waffles were spot on. Another highlight was the crabcake benedict-definitely worth mentioning. Perfectly poached eggs, flavorful crab, and great hollandaise. Honestly one of my favorites on the table. We also sampled the steak hash, which was fantastic. If I had to critique anything, it would be the cocktails. They weren't bad, but for such great food, I was hoping for drinks that were equally impressive. That said, the atmosphere and food more than made up for it. Overall, Foxy Brown is definitely a brunch spot I'd come back to. Great for a relaxed weekend vibe with solid food that's worth coming back for.

First, this spot is super cute and chill! You could easily enjoy a casual date night or dress it up! The staff is super pleasant and engaging, I appreciate that. The food was insanely good... the menu has alot of exciting things to pick from..be like me and try a few things... but make sure you get the maple bacon wings!!! The short ribs grilled cheese was massive and it has the softest and perfectly toasted edges, but the meat needed a pinch of salt.. but be clear it was cooked perfectly!! The banana grilled cheese in theory is a 10.. the grittiness of the Nutella ricotta cheese filling through me off.. I first thought was to try the bread pudding,

I attended brunch with a few friends. The setup of the restaurant is nice. We each ordered something different and, although pretty overpriced, everyone enjoyed their food. The chicken and waffles were good, but I was shocked to see that it came with only 3 wings (3 flats actually). The biscuit and gravy was way overpriced at $14. It was explained to us that,"the biscuit is big". It wasn't big enough to justify costing $14! But, I will say that it was good because of the gravy (way too much gravy though). The Hangar Steak Hash offered a decent sized serving. It was filling and very delicious. The Cock-A-Doodle-Doo and The Plate were also enjoyed by members of my party. We arrived at the tail end of Brunch being served and were very pleased with how quickly our food arrived. The kitchen closes at 3:30pm to prepare to begin cooking the lunch/dinner items at 4:30pm. We took a look at the lunch/dinner menu and saw some items we'd like to return to try.

After years of- and hundreds of reviews - - 5 Stars for a pub-style restaurant. The food was terrific: The Onion Soup was truly outstanding. A large crock, lots of rich, cooked onions, baked under Swiss and shaved Parmesan cheeses en croute (rye bread based), it was enough for. Meal by itself. The "Philly" Pretzel Rolls were quite good - a large portion of beer cheese on the side, along with some yummy peppers and onions. We split the Patty Melt - wow! A very large portion, the burger perfectly cooked (medium rare, so it was pink on the inside throughout). The fries were well seasoned and crisp - but not burned. My wife's Old Fashioned was perfect - including a freshly shaved orange peel and a real Luxardo Cherry! The beer list includes some nice locally brewed beers and ales. The restaurant is airy and comfortable, with a nice assortment of high tops, tables and booths - and the outdoor seats were sturdy and comfortable (none of the cheap plastic stuff. If that wasn't enough, the service was outstanding. Our server, Johnny, was friendly and attentive, without hovering. He brought hot towels for us after eating the Patty Melt. The expediter took our sandwich back - and had it re-made from scratch, after it came out too soon. Overall, The Foxy Brown is a gem, and we'll be back.

Yelp

This was so much fun. A very nice trendy place to go. We made a reservation so we had a seat inside. The server was amazing, on point always helpful. The food portions were huge! We should have just shared an appetizer and entree since the entrees were so large. The winner was the short rib sandwich.. omg the flavor melted. It's the star of the show. The chicken sandwich was good nice and juicy but nothing like the short ribs. A must try!

Taryn C.

Yelp

The Foxy Brown is so good. A few of our favorites were the grapefruit spritz, the honey butter bread rolls, and the shrimp linguine. But EVERYTHING we ordered was delicious and good quality. The service was quick, kind and answered all questions. This location is perfect for a happy hour family dinner, or any occasion!

I had been years ago to the old location on East Broward Boulevard. The new location is much roomier, more spacious, more stylish, and much better menu-wise when we came to brunch today. Downing iced cold brews like my life depended on it, and also we arrived when they first opened at 9:30 am since we were meeting friends from out of town that were early birds, I ordered the original breakfast sandwich that was magical; very magical. Served on a toasty croissant with bacon, egg, cheese, with sliced tomato and avocado, the sandwich hit the spot over and over until the last bite. The bacon was bliss and brought to me a bastion of bodacious brightness from which all bacon should be measured within a sandwich -- the right amount. If we lived closer, I would totally order one of the pancake and waffle options that sounded delectable from the descriptions. Moreover, our server was super sweet, attentive, and ensured we had everything from when we sat down. The restaurant generated kind vibes that radiated throughout our stay.

Christina D.

Yelp

I dropped by The Foxy Brown for lunch and sat at the bar. Sophia was the bartender at the time and she was just a sweetheart. I truly enjoyed our conversation while I was there. The Bees Knees drink I ordered was delicious and refreshing. The Short Rib grilled cheese I ordered was good, but I was expecting more of a bbq sauce than a marinara sauce. It seemed a bit underseasoned as well. The crinkle cut fries were crispy, fluffy, and addictive. Overall, I would definitely return to try other menu items as it seems to me that the food is prepared fresh and the staff cares about their patrons.

My sister-in-law, niece, grand-niece and son went on Sunday before attending the Tortuga Music Festival. We had never been there, but the reviews were good, and we just wanted a good breakfast. The restaurant was quite busy, and we were told the wait time would be about 30 minutes. However, less than 10 minutes later, we were sat. Our waitress told us the specials which sounded pretty good, but I went with the Foxy Dip based on the description on the menu. Oh My!!! It was so delcicious! Did I mention pairing it with a pineapple mimosa? Although I don't know what everyone else ordered, they did say they were happy. At the end of the meal, we shared a smores pancake. It was good but I expected better, when thinking smores. Next time I'll try a different sweet option and there will definitely be a next time!

Love love love this place! Please go now! It was absolutely delicious! I service was so speedy and the food was Devine. I can't wait to go back!

I went with a friend for brunch. Because we didn't have reservations, there was a short wait and we were seated at the bar. The service was attentive without being invasive. The menu had numerous options and our meals were good sized and quality. The restaurant was very busy, so the table noise was enough that voices had to be minimally raised. The decor was attractive around the restaurant.

After a washout at another restaurant, we came over here for a quick bite and some drinks. Ended up being A LOT of food and some great service! Sat outside for a nice quiet evening and it didn't disappoint. Billy was our server and he was fantastic! Attentive and friendly and was quick with whatever we needed. Food was absolutely amazing and we will be back for a full meal!

Farah S.

First things first, 10/10 on the service we received! Her dish recommendations definitely hit the spot. We went during brunch, so it was a bit busy and loud, but overall nice ambiance.

what a delicious brunch option! we were looking for their sister restaurant but ended up staying for their brunch & had no regrets. we started with the maple bacon wings... FANTABULOUS. sweet, savory, juicy. i got the special lobster grilled cheese which was delicious af, & our pink sparkling prosecco was refreshing yet strong! i can't wait to go back to this beautiful restaurant, they were so sweet as far as service as well! definitely some good eats.

Janet C.

Our server Kelly was great! The food, however, was mediocre. My mom and I both agreed it's a solid 5/10. We enjoyed the ambiance though and the hastiness of service in total.

Jerry C.

Yelp

Our group of five like to check out happy hour specials in the area, and The Foxy Brown popped up. 1/2 off appetizers 4-6 pm, plus 1/2 off wine bottles on Tuesday sounded good enough for us! With all the raving by yelpers we thought it would be awesome. Unfortunately it was mediocre. Happy hour bar food appetizers were barely elevated pub food. We did enjoy the Maple Bacon Wings. Wings came out hot and tasty. The single Grilled Artichoke was not very big, and so drenched in garlic butter that all we tasted was butter. At least it was 1/2 off $16. I can't imagine it being worth that much during normal hours. The Green Fries, which were battered green beans, were just ok. You don't get a lot, but five of us didn't even finish this. We shared The Italian Dinner which was kind of a mess, but I guess that's supposed to be an everything-in-it plus the kitchen sink dish. The meatball was good, but it the sauce was a bit bland. I think our favorite dish was the Honey Butter Rolls. These were piping hot and basically melted in our mouths. We ordered another serving. The cocktails were fine, the wine list was not too impressive. But at 1/2 off we can't complain. Our server was good and manager friendly, so no complaints there. Maybe we should come back and try the brunch which seems to be the big thing here.

Just went yesterday to their new location - light and airy - greeted by hostess as soon as we walked in for 11:30 reservation (indoors) I had the green and grain bowl excellent (had Canadian bacons instead of sausage) my friend had one of the specials: cornmeal pancakes topped with chili, green onions, cheddar cheese and Mac and cheese!! Too rich for me (she took half to go) shared a delicious piece of key lime pie topped with homemade whipped cream! Looked so thick on top of the pie thought it was j e cream for a second! But as everyone knows, when you have an EXCELLENT SERVER like we had - it makes the experience - shout out to the restaurant for hiring BELLA! cheerful, efficient and checked in throughout the meal! A very relaxing and enjoyable brunch! Will return again and again - well done, Foxy Brown.

After arriving from a 13-hour drive, this was our resting place for dinner and drinks. I was pleased with the meal I ordered. Roasted chicken with mashed potatoes and spinach. For a Friday night in Fort Lauderdale, the service and ambiance were both excellent.

Jaclyn S.

Yelp

While, I do prefer the old location that was small and intimate. This location is definitely a spot where you can bring your entire family. The service was super fast. The food was fantastic. My favorite dish was the arepa and chorizo followed by a close second with the short rib Benedict. The Benedict needed a touch of salt but overall the flavors were there. Pro tip is to get the Benedict on a hash brown instead of an English muffin game changer. The chicken wings and waffles was also very tasty.

Marcie K.

Yelp

We went here for happy hour and it was just what we needed! We sat at the bar and were treated so well by the bartenders! Drinks were all amazing - pictures attached. The whipped cream on the Irish coffee is the best ever! The apps hit the spot for the need for some snacks after a long day. The music was perfect for setting a fun tone at the bar. Bathrooms were clean. The other people at the bar were all so nice too! This bar area is definitely worth checking out! We will be back to enjoy many more happy hours.

Andrea A.

Yelp

I came to dine at this place years ago before they moved and absolutely loved it, so I was excited to order from them again. Unfortunately, I was beyond disappointed with the food this time around. I ordered the chicken and waffles. And for $16, 1 expected a decent portion and proper presentation. Instead, I got 3 small wings thrown on top of a waffle--definitely not what you'd expect from a classic chicken and waffles dish. Usually, it's served with tenders or at least a thigh and a wing. These wings were poorly seasoned and lacked flavor. And the bacon? I didn't even remember it came with bacon because it was barely visible. I expected at least two full strips, or a good amount of chopped bacon, instead it looked like they threw on half of a burnt piece just to say it was there. In my opinion, they need to either update this dish or completely remove it from the menu. It has to be one of the worst chicken and waffles l've ever had. And I honestly cannot believe that a restaurant with such a good reputation would look at this dish and actually serve it to their customers. That said, the service was great. I sat at the bar and everyone was beyond nice and attentive (especially Johnny), which I really appreciated. Unfortunately, the quality of the dish just didn't live up to expectations, and I wouldn't recommend it.

Yelp

Brunch approved Biscuit and gravy is a MUST! I wanted to drink the gravy after (don't judge me). All around great experience, free parking is a stone throne away. A reservation is highly recommended for brunch, especially for 4 people or more. Shrimp and grits are delicious, s'mores French toast was scrumptious, bacon - perfectly crispy, raspberry and white chocolate pancakes amazing, mimosa - can you really go wrong? - Fooxy Brown definitely didn't. Made several visits this trip, will be back! #Mimosa #ShrimpAndGrits #Rasperry #WhiteChocolate #SmoresFrenchToast #BiscuitAndGravy #Bacon

Best gourmet breakfast I can think of-- I had the avocado toast-- the cheese to die for, the avocado at the perfection of ripeness, the fresh bread, heirloom tomatoes all combined perfectly. My husband had the Salmon benedict -- when asked -- he said it was "great" and that he would not have thought the everything bagel would work out, but it worked out perfectly! also best mimosa i have ever tasted-- like a fine wine with hints of lychee .

Shelb L.

Yelp

Hmmmm, so much good food here. It's dangerous. This is our go to brunch/lunch spot. Who am I kidding, this is our anytime spot!! Everything from the waffles, grilled cheese, salads, drinks is all so tasty. IF I HAD to pick a favorite dish, it would be the Banana Nutella French Toast. But truly, the whole menu is so delicious.

Katrina W.

Yelp

We loved our brunch at Foxy Brown, stopping in on a whim after driving by. Not a super picky eater, but an eater of seafood and non-dairy items, I wanted to find a place my partner and I could choose from the menu with ease. Our server was very friendly and offered drink and food recommendations. I enjoyed the Crab Omelet (a special) and my partner had the picadillo. We both loved our meal choices and a mimosa on the side. We sat outside, which was only made possible with some Off for mosquitos, but there were others outside enjoying the fresh air with us. We would come back for brunch or to try lunch here!

Megan W.

Yelp

Our server was friendly and attentive The restaurant is large and open with plenty of seating. I had french onion soup which was very good except they used rye bread for the toasted bread under the cheese and it left an odd after taste. The greens and grains bowl was excellent. Portions are HUGE. Personally when restaurants do this I'd rather see them keep costs down by serving reasonably sized portions of food. I made two full meals out of the salad and still had leftovers

Greshka P.

Yelp

I had been to their old location and was a fan. Now after being a couple of times to their new one I think it's even better. More space, nice bar area, love the outside seating when the Florida weather is behaving, and parking is easy. I definitely, as many, love their brunch. Great menu selections and their mimosas.... Can't go wrong. Recently came for lunch. We were seated inside, quickly, and our server was with us in no time. Drinks were brought, specials were presented and after reviewing the menu, we ordered. Food did not take long to come out, big portions and delicious. The Coocka Doodle Doo sandwich was great! The chicken was so tender, not dry at all, and loved the sriracha aioli. Our server came over a couple of times to check on us and when she saw we were done came to see if we needed anything else, or coffee, dessert. We just needed boxes for the leftovers, being very satisfied with our meals. They have earned that last star in this new location.

Delilah B.

Came here with my daughter for an early Mother's Day celebration. It's a really beautifully designed restaurant I felt very comfortable here. The bar seemed fun people were watching a Panther game and cheering everyone was clearly having a great time We started with the green bean fries appetizer, the Sriracha mayo was great! We split the foxy burger with a fried egg on top, it was fresh and tasted so delicious I keep thinking about it and I want to go get another! We also spit the lobster rolls it came with 2 lobster rolls with large pieces of fresh lobster they were very good it was my first lobster roll and I liked it. I had the crispy Brussels sprouts as my side and it was very good out other side was the normal fries which were ok nothing extra special but there were a ton of them. Or server was delightful and so sweet she had a great personality and she even helped us find a good place for bubble tea after dinner which my daughter wanted. I will probably go back this week for that burger since I can't stop thinking about it lol!

One of those places that are on the list, but haven't taken time to visit. WELL TODAY IS THE DAY!! Stopped by Foxy Brown in the morning and no disappointment. If you are looking for great breakfast, great service and great drinks (YES drinks in the morning) then FOXY BROWN is that spot. Really enjoyed the Bacon Pork Belly side, oh boy love that bacon. Also the Bacon Bloody Mary was right on, and if you are those like my lady that look for low sugar! The mix used here is really low in sugar so go for that drink. We also tried the Avocado Toast, with Feta Cheese and it is one of the best I have had. That is really saying something. The Cluck and Moo was great as well as the Nespresso Espresso. This place doesn't miss and if you need a dependable breakfast or lunch then stop by Foxy Browns. Oh, and ask for the Doughnut Hole Dessert you will love them. By the way if you are a small party stop by the bar and say hi to Johnny and Coleen, they are the best in the business.

I came here on a Saturday for brunch - it was a beautiful day so we sat outside which was a really nice vibe. There is both inside and outside seating with a nice bar on the inside. We ordered spritzes and a bottle of wine and the cocktails were really made nicely. We ordered the breakfast arepa and banana bread grilled cheese, which complimented each other so well! The service was good and it was all around a nice brunch experience. I would like to come back again to try their regular menu.

Richard S.

Yelp

We haven't been to the new place since they moved years ago. What a beautiful place and double the size of the old restaurant. Went before theater on a Saturday night at 6:30 and the place was packed. Very nice menu and wine list. My wife wasn't that hungry so she just ordered the French Onion Soup, topped with swiss, gruyere, and provolone. Huge portion and she really enjoyed it. I opted for the New Orleans BBQ Shrimp with basmati rice and grilled sourdough. Full of flavor and worth trying. Looking forward to returning.

Maddy B.

Yelp

A bunch of friends met up for brunch and we had a great time. The service was great and the restaurant was cute. Parking was free in the garage and easy to access the restaurant which was awesome. We got the pancakes and latkes to share both were delicious. I had the short rib benedict which was fire but I was so full by that point and it was filling too. The burger looked awesome and the crinkle fries with garlic parm were sooo good. The pomegranate mimosa was a good change up from a regular mimosa. The cold brew wasn't anything special tbh. We felt it was pretty well priced. There was a lot on the menu that looked good so I'll definitely be back to try more!

Richard P.

Yelp

My pre-Parker Playhouse go-to is Doc B's but wanted to mix it up a bit and with some trepidation, booked a table at Foxy Brown literally next-door in FTL on Federal Hwy and Fifth. The trepidation is because they've gotten some mixed reviews lately. Not us! Terrific service from Mary, who was attentive but not annoying. The queen started out with the honey rolls which were fine but not essential. I had to try Mabel's Chicken which was a knockout. If Lucy Cooper in the Herald or Linda Cicero or the nice Perez lady in the sunny sentinel were still getting recipes from local restaurants, I would definitely try to score this one. The queen had a mahi sandwich which was also a winner by her. I had a nice Lunch Money pale ale, a local brew that hit the spot. Plus we had no idea but Mary asked us if we were going to the theater and since we were, we got a 10% discount. Winning!

Tamara R.

Yelp

We stopped by for breakfast during our family vacation in Ft. Lauderdale beach. It was only 10 minutes from our hotel, which was very convenient. The food was pretty good. I really enjoyed the crab cake Benedict. Unfortunately the short rib Benedict, the short rib itself was not well seasoned- didn't have any flavor. I had kids with me and we had to piece together a kids meal, which is fine. But just a FYI for families traveling with kids. Overall it was a decent option for breakfast

We were quoted a 20 minute wait time and I don't think we even waited 10 minutes. We normally eat at the bar but that was full and our table ended up being right by the glass windows so it was great. We loved the decor and the chairs were super comfy. Our server was fantastic and chatty without being intrusive. The food came out super quick and it was delicious. My cranberry mimosa was also a perfect balance. We'll be back.

Went for brunch. Food was excellent ! Service was great! Nice lively loud place ! Definitely would return. Make sure you make a reservation for brunch. It was packed.
