The Cove

A fun place all around. You can enjoy being outside without really being outside. There are tables outside on the deck I believe . You can look at the intercoastal and see all the fancy boats or kids fishing off the marina. Just a great place that I have been going to since born. I have found memories of my Family going lots of Sundays as a big family group. Watching and dancing with my Grandparents who loved to dance even around the house. There was a calipso band every Sunday. So many memories and if you grew up in Deerfield Bch and it was 30 yrs ago you went as a 21 year old along with everyone you ever grew up with for Friday night happy hour at 4:00. Those were the days. I love the remodel new to me.

Perfect Sunday on the water in Deerfield! Docked up the boat around 12:15. Was shown a great table for my group, (and 🐕 dogs). Band started at 1PM and so did NFL. What a vibe! Attentive service, (from Kasey),great food, and just a fun overall atmosphere! It was when the manager- ( I believe TOM), came over to the table to check in on our experience that I was completely blown away from the experience that TOM creates! Tom, keep up the great work! We will be back!

We came to the Cove for dinner as we always do. The ambience is but what was really amazing with Sammy our server. She was the best waitress I’ve ever had in my life. We were a table of six and we didn’t even need to look for her once she gave us amazing service. The Cove is such a tropical outdoor wonderful place I cannot say enough good about it. Ask for Sammy she’s great❤️

Great Waterfront outside covered seating - excellent food and adult beverages. Our server wasn't very friendly or attentive but everything else was good. We had the Ahi tuna nachos and lobster roll- nice portions and delicious.

Tried the Cove for their Catch (Speared) & Cook with the Chiefycrew…the experience was fantastic with great tasting fish and lobsters we caught (speared) and brought. Upscale dining with a waterfront view but not the expensive cost. $20 per person including two sides and served family style. We’ll be back

Came here last night and had a great experience. Drinks and food were amazing! Roxy our server was easy going a very helpful with our order. She kept checking on us regularly made sure we had a great experience!! Thanks to her we will be coming back soon.

We had such a great experience at The Cove in Deerfield Beach! The atmosphere was relaxing, the view was beautiful, and the food was absolutely delicious. A special shout out to our server, Danielle, who made the whole meal even better. She was warm, attentive, and incredibly kind. Her energy and hospitality made us feel right at home. For food, I had the blackened chicken with penne, which was perfectly seasoned and so flavorful, and my husband ordered the salmon, which he loved. Everything came out fresh and hot. Overall, amazing service, great food, and a wonderful experience. We’ll definitely be back!

Not the best food, but go for the view i guess. The blackened chicken and salmon entrees were unimpressive. The Pina colada wasn't very good either.

Olívia is an amazing hostess always kind and sweet when we walk in and when sitting us down . Burger was delicious and perfectly cooked when served, and the place was clean and a nice ambiance.

Had the pleasure of visiting with the best food, service (Olivia M.), and view. Cannot wait to go back!

Theresa was my server and she was the absolute sweetest!! She was so attentive to our table, answered all of our questions, and gave her best recommendations. We will definitely be coming back and asking for Theresa every time!!!

Aesthetic: Staple Intracoastal seafood restaurant in the heart of Deerfield Beach What to try: Thai Tuna Salad Service: Excellent Parking: Plenty, but it is now pay to park :( Rating: 5/5, I grew up eating here and the ambiance hasn't changed since I was young. We always enjoy the coconut shrimp, conch fritters, and Mahi sandwiches, but we tried the Thai Tuna Salad and it was delightful. I was bummed to learn the city took over the parking in the plaza, it sucks watching corporate greed ruin your hometown. We were lucky to be able to walk from my Moms house

The Cove was extremely busy on the Sunday night I dined in, but the service team was on point and took great care of my party. We chose to sit outside so our dog companion could join, and the team brought him water and loved on him! The bar specializes in seafood and it showed in a great poke bowl and even better in a Thai ahi tuna noodle salad, which I recommend! Full bar service allowed for some fun signature cocktails, including the watermelon mojito I tried, which was refreshing and strong! Waterfront at sunset I'm sure would be absolutely stunning, but I loved the natural plant walls inside and the vibe was comfortable but trendy, and tied immensely to the history and culture of the area. Parking was free when I was there, but there are paid 2hr limit parking spaces right in front of the restaurant. There is also valet available if you prefer.

The nautical themed restaurant is situated at the end of Hillsboro Blvd on the intracoastal. The tiki hut style dining area is massive and multi leveled divded only by a few wooden steps, while the cocktail bar overlooks a small fleet of luxury fishing boats. Live music every Saturday & Sunday 1p - 4p and Fridays until 9pm. The sun sets on the obstructed west side of the building and is visible from only one small portion of the back patio. Consumed a few cocktails at the bar while waiting for my entire party to arrive. The Apple Sour Rum & Coke was my own concoction and it was excellent. We had a large family function and sat in the main interior dining room. The server, Desi, was very attentive through the entire meal. The food arrived to the table without any glitches. My Cove Burger with the bacon was large and juicy. The Lobster Roll was tender & tasty and well stuffed but pricey. Great service, rare atmosphere, good food but overpriced. The parking lot was free with enough spaces to support the restaurant on a Sunday night. The wooden dock along the water is walkable although fishing is prohibited. The gender assigned bathroom was clean sporting two commercial style urinals with high traction black urinal mats and blue-green polished ceramic tile walls.

The Cove @thecovedeerfield Deerfield Beach, FL Absolutely loved it all! The views, the vibes, the food! Service was great. Here's what we had: Blueberry Lemonade Tiki Tea Miami Vice Planters Punch Conch Fritters Spinach Artichoke Dip Side Salad New England Lobster Roll Maui Braised Short Rib Key Lime Pie Colossal Chocolate Cake I can't wait to visit again and try more from the menu!

A beautiful restaurant with the capacity to have large parties with water views from every table. The bartender was professional and made me a dirty martini with three unstuffed green olives on a toothpick. The cocktail was perfect and hard to really screw up. The small mound of fish dip was unfortunately bland but came with a large amount of tortillas. My hubby loved to jalapeños pepper slices. The lobster roll and the blackened chicken salad were tasty. Maybe will come back on a Friday night to listen to the live music and have a drink.

I love a good waterfront restaurant, and the Cove was the perfect blend of American fare, tropical drinks and waterfront views (especially at sunset). Check their schedules for info on live music. It was also cool to see patrons pull up on their boats and take their orders to go or dock their boats. I've been there twice and definitely plan to go back

Delicious food and magnificent view. Crowded bar and fun crowd. "A MUST TRY" SUPPORT LOCAL

Very nice lunch on the water in a beautiful restaurant, great atmosphere! Two fabulous dogs wete visiting with their parents, so cute!!! On big one small. Lovely server, AMY. Les had the cove burger, he said it was very tasty and i had the Mahi Mahi sandwich, it was good, but i should have gotten the fish and chips, oh well, next time. We both brought home half our lunches! Very reasonable!

Second time dining at the cove. Hands down it's for the atmosphere, not the food. There's no drink specials and the food is mediocre. Ordered the tiki tea peach, loved the glass. The drink was good. Not pictured I ordered chicken sandwich and it's just okay. Very thin piece of chicken, mostly bread. Fries were cold. Overall, beautiful outdoor views otherwise dine elsewhere.

Nice place by the canal. Open air feel with a breeze from the overhead fans makes it comfortable even in a scorching moly hot day. We ordered the lobster mac and cheese and the fish and chips. Both dishes were huge! The lobster mac was very rich and creamy and the breadcrumbs on top gave a nice texture. They knocked it out of the park with this one! The fish and chips had fresh, crispy and moist fish. The batter was well seasoned and the fries were the right amount of salty. It gets busy here and the service is a little slow, but it's worth the wait.

I liked the restaurant. It had a good atmosphere and the food was great. The restaurant seems to be popular around here. Everyone knows The Cove and now I can see why. This restaurant is casual with a chill atmosphere. There is so much room inside. It's one big open area. The best thing was the view. It is right next to the intercostal, so you can see the beautiful boats go by. I was here for lunch. I tried the conk fritters and loved them. The seared scallops tasted good. I liked the food. I found the service to be great and friendly. It is a place I can see the coming back. I signed up for events. I had a great experience.

Came on a hot Saturday afternoon with a group of 18 friends for a casual, outdoor, fish focused lunch with live music. There was a big parking lot & valet available. The Cove Waterfront Tiki Bar is on the Intracoastal Waterway and I enjoyed the music & the boats passing by. We were covered so we didn't bake the big ass fans helped & the open air restaurant felt like a vacation. There is a dock right in front and many boats pulled up to dock and dine. The Cove has been here since 1963 and it's become an institution. I feel like I was here with my parents in the 90s. Jerry Lehman's duo played while I perused the menu . Michaela took good care of us, service was on point but she needed a hand clearing our large table. The Asian tuna salad looked appealing, as did the sandwiches burgers, fish plates, and appetizers. The drinks look like they were the sugary mixes so I had a a spicy Bloody Mary. My ahi tuna salad was huge, reasonable, fresh and really delicious. All of us enjoyed our meals. A 20% tip was added to our bill as we were a big group.

We had a good lunch. We used to come here a lot many years ago. Back then it was a bit more run down/local tiki bar-ish and we even came here with my husband's kids. Last time I was here was with a girlfriend for a lobster special that was a couple years before covid. It's a tad more upscale/chic now. It has gorgeous wall decorations inside (it's still open air on 3 sides) and an area that looks almost like a jungle. The very large covered patio area offers a great view of the water and boats. As with everything everywhere prices are higher now. However, you can still navigate the menu for a not too crazy priced meal. They only have one menu -- it's the same for lunch and for dinner -- and no lunch specials. I asked. My husband got their classic cheeseburger that came with his requested well done fries. It had American cheese, lettuce and tomato on the toasted bun, too. He said it was very good. I got an order of mussels from their appetizer section. The mussels were described as "drunken" due to the white wine in the tomato, garlic and lemon sauce. They were not stingy with the garlic! The portion was much larger than expected and quite filling. It came with a slice of toasted bread. Now that we've been, I'm sure we will return sooner rather than later.

A pleasant Waterside lunch this afternoon at The Cove. They were busy but we were seated right away at a booth near the water and cooling breeze. I went with the Classic American Cheeseburger and fries. Our server Whitney was pleasant and helpful. Our food was delivered in an expected amount of time and was delicious. The only negative was they do not have the proper size forks for the mussels, you have to use a salad fork. Other than that, a delicious fulfilling lunch!

Ambiance is amazing. Food: quite a variety. Have had dinner and lunch several times with friends and family. Food in my opinion is ok. Cocktails, ambiance and appetizers as well as the music keeps us coming back.

Docked in the Marina for a few days, so we visited the Cove several nights in a row. Two of the days, there was live music to enjoy. The service was excellent. The bartenders were busy but we were well taken care of. Now, I recognize I'm at a marina in FL, but I'm allergic to shrimp and this was hard to accommodate as they only have around two-three options for those of us with a seafood allergy. I DID enjoy the food I was able to try which was the burrata salad and a burger. Both were excellent. Will visit again next time!

The view was way better than the food. My blackened chicken pasta was not great. The sauce was actually good, but so much pasta and very little chicken. Pretty average. The salmon was a bit rubbery too. Great view of the yachts going through.

We stopped by The Cove in Deerfield Beach for a midday bite, and it was such a great experience from start to finish. Since we went a little earlier in the day, there was no crowd and we were seated right away--always a nice surprise. But the real star here is the location. The open-air seating right on the Intracoastal is absolutely gorgeous. Super relaxing, with just the right breeze and that perfect waterfront view. The food? Also a win across the board. My daughter had the Lobster Mac and Cheese (rich, creamy, and packed with lobster), I had the Shrimp Scampi (garlicky, buttery, and so good), and my husband went classic with the Fish and Chips--crispy and fresh. We're already talking about coming back. Great view, great food, great vibe. What more could you want?

Perfect location of the water watching the yachts go by. Food was very good. We had the grilled chicken salad and a hamburger. Then coffee and a big piece of chocolate cake that we shared.

We started with the Coconut Shrimp as an appetizer and it was tasty but a little "soggy" it didn't quit have that friend shrimp snap. For dinner I had the Crab Cakes and my friend whose birthday we were celebrating had the Mahi Mahi. We both like the food a lot but didn't care for the drinks. We both ordered a Mojito and my friend sent hers back because she didn't like it. I didn't care for it myself because it didn't taste like there wasn't any alcohol in it but I don't like sending things back especially since the meal wasn't served to us yet. She ordered a cosmopolitan and she didn't care for that either. When I bill came I noticed the Mojito was listed on the bill as Bacardi Silver Rocks and not Mojito. If that was what they served us it tasted just like water. Her cosmopolitan was listed on the bill as Grey Goose DOUBLE Cosmo which we didn't ask for a double. So when you pay your bill ask for an itemized bill before paying. They use the new technology of paying at the table and some may feel pressured (like I do) to ask for the itemized bill which I did after the fact to make sure everything is correct. The server did remove the one Mojito which was sent back. The service was good but not the best. The server was nice and may have been new but I was expecting better. The ambiance was nice with a view of the intracoastal. They have large ceiling fans so even on a hot day/night the air is always moving. For handicap customers they have a mini elevator to bring you up from the main outside dining area to the inside. Food - Delicious Service - Good but could have been better Drinks - Have to give it a thumbs down

Kind staff and great portions! I was surprised with how solid this place was. My pasta was well-cooked and seasoned. There was a decent amount of seafood and I loved the sauce! A bit tangy but buttery, both decadent and refreshing. I finished my plate before I knew it, which I find rare for a gigantic plate of cheesy pasta. I think they do everything well here, so it will be a safe choice to come with family. My friend ordered their mac and cheese with a side of salmon. He says the mac was a bit bland, but the salmon was a great portion and seemed well-seasoned!

We came across a few reviews for this spot and decided to check it out for a laid-back dinner and it did not disappoint! The atmosphere was on point from the start: live music, intercoastal view, and plenty of outdoor seating. There's a large bar and patio area, plus covered dining, but on this Saturday night, everyone was on the patio. We started with the ahi tuna nachos and wow easily a reason to come back on their own. We also ordered the New England lobster roll and the mahi mahi sandwich, both fresh and flavorful. Our server was quick and super friendly, which we especially appreciated with a toddler. Definitely planning to return to try more from the menu (and the drink list next time!).

The Cove absolutely delivered. Let's talk food, because wow. Everything was super fresh, perfectly cooked, and honestly just hit every time. The menu has great variety, so whether you're in the mood for seafood or something more classic, you're covered. Portions were generous without being ridiculous, and the flavors were on point--not bland, not overdone, just executed really well. You can tell they actually care about quality, not just vibes. On top of that, Olivia at the host stand was amazing--so kind, welcoming, and genuinely made us feel taken care of from the second we walked in. Overall, great food, great service, great experience. This place understood the assignment.

The service was fantastic, The location is phenomenal The food was so delicious The price was nominal but worth every penny Seated quickly served with a smile and countless follow ups. So happy. Will definitely be a return customer and advocate of this amazing place.

Easy menu to read Great food , great service despite the huge crowds , nice ambiance and seats surrounding by the relaxing and peaceful water view .... The choices of the platters met our expectations and definitely will be back Driving couple hours to make it to this restaurant was worth it for sure! After dinner, walking on the restaurant dock was great for taking souvenir photos....

The view is what makes it nice. The food was great. Just burgers,but really good burgers. The band was also good. The service was mediocre. But it was fine since we were outside enjoying the beautiful day and watching the boats go by.

Great water front views! We had a group of 6 with us so we got a few appetizers to try. Calamari was good. I went for the fish and chips. Perfect amount of crisp. The 6 of us finished off a chocolate cake at the end, even though we were full. No regrets! The whipped cream and drizzle give just the right touch! The service was slightly slow trying to leave, just for boxed, and it's complicated to try and split checks if that's your plan. Not a big deal. Overall, great experience!

A great spot in a nice evening for friends and cocktails. The food remains hit or miss. The fish and chips are solid, but the salmon had an odd dill aftertaste. The conch fritters were tasty, but the chicken Reggiano was blackened beyond what was reasonable, leaving a burnt and unpleasant taste. Drinks were good as was the service. A mixed bag at a great location.

We really enjoyed sitting outside by the Intracoastal waterway. There were a lot of really good seafood options, which made it hard to choose (mussels, steamers, ahi tuna salad, Mahi sandwich, and more!) I had the watermelon salad with shrimp and balsamic vinaigrette. It came with 4 shrimps...I would have liked one more. We told the server that it was our friend's birthday and she brought a piece of chocolate cake with a sparkler in it. How fun! They have indoor seating & bar as well as an outdoor bar and live music on Sunday .

I'm beyond disappointed with this establishment. Nearly every time we've ordered, the food has been wrong. Tonight was the last straw. I ordered a simple chicken quesadilla and a salmon salad. Instead, they confused the order, made me wait, and when I finally got my food and drove just a few minutes home, the salmon was cold and missing the sour cream I specifically requested 2 of. When I called, the manager Toni was dismissive and implied I was only upset about the sour cream, completely missing the bigger issue: yes also my husband was upset speaking to me about how we should throw away the food since they don't to fix the problem after wasting my time then Toni proceeds to tell him to talk to him like a man. Yeah Toni, my husband was upset, he asked me not to order from you guys but why is the GM or whatever he said he was speaking to a paying customer that way most of all it makes me so upset. He was very dismissive. this place constantly messes up orders. Even when we came with friends few months ago, everyone's food was wrong. We let it go then, but this has become a pattern. I waited about 45 minutes for my food. When I first ordered, I was outside in the parking lot. Did a couple phone calls that I had to do and realized it was 20 minutes past the time so I go to the bar to pick up my food and they tell me they haven't even put it in. Seriously? Then I was like whatever things happen then I put in the order again after I patiently waited at the bar to even ask for my food the first time. Went to my car waited another 20 or so minutes just to give me cold food that's really what's pissing me off. They just can't get it right. For $31, I expect hot food and the items I ordered--not repeated mistakes and a rude attitude. Instead of offering a proper solution while I was still right down the street, I was told to "come back tomorrow." That's not acceptable. Then I said you know what I'm just gonna come back and return your food and give me a refund. He did not want to. The food was untouched. I'm not eating cold salmon. We will not be returning, and neither will our friends and neighbors who have had the same experience. The food can be good when done correctly, but the inconsistency, lack of care, and poor customer service make it not worth the time or money.

This is theee spot for a great vibe! Live bands on the weekends, waterfront, it has a marina.. And the food? AMAZING! Nothing on the menu disappoints... Don't let other really picky people deter you from coming here.. This place is awesome! Just come hungry because the portions are plenty ful and delicious.. My favorite is the ahí tuna nachos and the Hawaiian steak... But everything is amazing... Must try... 5 stars to the staff.. Always so friendly and attentive... Thank you for a great time! Will be coming back for sure!

My hubby and I usually come here when there is a birthday party or family event. The restaurant is situated on the intracoastal with a stunning view and lovely breezes if you can snag a table on the water. Unfortunately, they won't seat large parties by the water, so we usually sit inside towards the back. There is still a nice breeze and lots of fans to keep us cool. Speaking of large parties, they automatically tack on 20% in gratuity for parties of 8 or more. The service we had this time was pretty good, but the bartender was just awful. My hubby's $17 Patron Margarita tasted terrible and didn't have much tequila at all. My sister's white sangria was flavorless and watered down. At least hers was cheaper. I enjoyed my mahi sandwich and hubby enjoyed his full rack of ribs, but he said they were a bit dry. Overall, this is a place to see and be seen and enjoy the waterfront. The food is good, but not spectacular for the price. The bartender needs to be retrained.

Food is always delicious. The ambiance is awesome. There's nothing like being waterfront. Unfortunately, tonight the service was pretty much lacking. She seems a bit absent-minded. I'll still go back. But hopefully I will have a different server

I like restaurants by the water so we decided to give this place a try on our way back home from a mini vacay nearby. It is very inviting, enjoyed the ambience and it is nicely decorated. We were greeted upon arrival by the hostess and were sat promptly. However the waitress took a while and was not very pleasant to deal with. The calamari appetizer was a hit for all of us, kids included. They were nicely cooked and tasty. For the rest of the food::: - shrimp tacos: tasteless. I expected some flavor as they come with pico de gallo but was disappointed. Ended up having to put lime, salt and pepper for some flavor. - mahi mahi sandwich: great option. Wished portion was bigger but it was yummy. - fish and chips: too greasy and soggy. - penne pasta with marinara: didn't try it but my kid did like it - chicken fingers: another good choice. Chicken was well cooked. We made the most of it and enjoyed our meals and were gone. To sum it up, we liked the place itself but wished food would have been better all around.

I love the atmosphere here, as a local even I feel like I am on vacation and with all the fans and breeze I am not sweating or feeling overheated. I love the cove burger, they must put something in it that makes it so addicting as well! The wait staff is super attentive and very friendly.

Great views! The Service was very good and everyone enjoyed their meal. 2 lobster rolls, Buffalo chicken salad, Caesar salad with grilled shrimp.

The Cove is the best! Great service from Bobby at the outside bar! Can't beat the awesome breeze especially in the summer time

I had the best burger I have had in a while at this place if you're looking for a good burger at a reasonable price I highly suggest coming here and giving the Cove burger. It was delicious. I couldn't put it down and finish it super quick. The appetizer was also pretty good. I am not 100% sure what was the name of it but nothing to rave about it wasn't nothing crazy

Great place to walk around and dine in. The music and the atmosphere is incredible the people are so friendly and welcoming

The perfect place wrapping up 2024 with the girls! We got seated by the balcony right by the water where you can see gorgeous boats passing by. Such a great view! Our food was great as usual! I had tuna nachos, my go to! Love it! I'm coming back!

The Cove is located in Deerfield Beach overlooking the intracoastal. It has a huge tiki bar for people wanting to drink and socialize and many tables for a meal. I had seafood linguine that I really enjoyed. It was a nice portion in a fun atmosphere. If you want to have dinner on the water at reasonable price , this is the place to go too. Btw. Lots of parking in the shopping center.

Very nice place in Deerfield bch Directly on intercostal waterways Burgers are very good enjoy the cove

This place is fantastic. I wanted to be by the water and have seafood in a place with good vibe. I found this place online and brought my sister with me. The sun was hot and the day was breezy. We found parking right away and it was free. . There were boats docked and they can be seen from the parking lot and the restaurant so the good tropical vibes began right from the beginning. DECOR: I think they have like two standing walls and a roof, everything was opened to the water. It was magical. The front doors were opened and you can see a very wide and long "hall" all the way to the water. I say "hall" because it was completely opened on the right. We got to the hostess stand and we told her that we wanted to sit right on the water and she directed us to the hostess closest to the water. Omg guys, this place is so nice. The breeze and the fans made it very very comfortable, there's also a lot of shade. We were in the intercostal and could see the mansions across, yachts going by, and boats docking right on the restaurant. The place has two large bars. One is free standing right on the water and the other one is more in the center of the restaurant where they have one of those vertical garden walls. FOOD: Very good food. I had a clam chowder and the drunken mussels and it was all very delicious. My sister had fish and chips (I think). I tried a bit of the fish and it was very soft and fresh. We wanted dessert and saw that there was Key West Key Lime Pie. We were skeptical because we both know what the Keys' key lime pie tastes like. Well, it was delicious. A slight degree less of tartness which is great because key lime pies in the Keys are very very strong in flavor. We loved our dessert. It was delicious. SERVICE: It was very good. Our waitress was very nice and good. Visit this place. It's good for friends, family, even a date... just take a scrunchy or hair clip .

Tonight was a great experience for us at The Cove! The food was delicious (coconut shrimp, fried shrimp, blackened chicken) and arrived just as we ordered it. But, more importantly, it was a great experience because of our AMAZING server, Anna. She was super attentive and was so friendly! She was the best server we've ever had at The Cove, and we will definitely be coming back if she is there! We cannot thank her enough for a wonderful night!

The Cove has been around a LONG time. Through the years it was up and for a portion it was down. The updated look and renovations have really made this place shine again. Great outside seating area and even inside you feel like you are outside. Music on the weekend during the day makes it a happening spot. The fish dip is always a perfect appetizer and super fresh. The ahi tacos are also good, I've had them before and seemed like the amount of ahi was lacking. If you are looking for a good outdoor spot this is the place! Parking can be full but they also have valet.

Gave them another try...service was excellent server Roxy was very attentive. Atmosphere is very nice a little noisy otherwise very nice
