"The ambiance is always on point at this Intracoastal-adjacent hangout just south of the Oakland Park Boulevard bridge. Amid all the fresh catches, its crunchy coconut shrimp stand out — huge, golden-fried, and dunked in tropical mango sauce. Bonus: There’s often live music and plenty of rosé to sip while boat watching."
"Since its 1982 opening, this Intracoastal restaurant, located just south of Oakland Park Boulevard, has morphed from a party-hardy spectacle to an elegant waterside destination. Among its menu standouts is an absolutely loaded lobster roll that will shut up even the most obnoxious of Boston-bred critics. Pro-tip: beyond docking your own boat, the Water Taxi stops here every 30 minutes."
"Shooters runs its happy hour from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday, serving as a perfect spot to watch the sunset. Diners receive half off all drinks and appetizers like the crunchy coconut shrimp and chicken pesto flatbread. Take in the ocean’s breeze and watch the sunset while sipping on a Dockside Margarita or a Strawberry Coconut Lemonade for a full South Florida experience." - Eater Staff
"Shooters Waterfront’s takeout menu includes popular starters like the smoked fish dip and guava wings. For heartier dishes, there are barbecue ribs and the Shooters Waterfront cheeseburger as well as a mahi-mahi sandwich and a convenient selection of wine and champagne.
