The Fish Joint

The food was absolutely delicious, with fresh, high-quality seafood. I especially loved the tacos—they were bursting with flavor and perfectly seasoned. The surf and turf was cooked to perfection, tender and well-balanced. My son tried the lobster roll and felt it could use a bit more flavor, but everything else hit the mark. And the fries—wow! I'm a huge fry lover, and these were hands down some of the best I've ever had—crispy, golden, and seem to be freshly cut.. The service was excellent too—friendly, attentive staff who made us feel right at home. I just wish they had a location in Orlando!

Decided to visit the Fish Joint from a Tiktok post and surprisingly it’s only 10 minutes from my house. When we walked in the young man at the register greeted us with a warm smile and welcomed ys. As it was our first time he assurred us we would love it and recommended some of his favorites. He was very personable. Needless to say, he was correct. The food was delicious!! Great portion size. Everything came out hot and fresh. We thoroughly enjoyed every bite. The lobster roll was absolutely delicious—full of lobster meat. So worth the price. I will say the Mahi tacos had a sauce on them that I waant extremely fond of but other than that they were good. As always I say go see for yourself!

Everything was so great we came back the next day! Came in on a Wednesday just to try but then noticed the Thursday special was a lobster roll so we had to be back. Day 1 we tried Mahi Tacos and a Shrimp roll, amazing. The amount of fish in the tacos! They don’t skimp out! The service was amazing too, extremely attentive. The place itself was clean and full of cool art on the walls.

Our Church Connect Group met here tonight for a group dinner. The restaurant was very willing to set tables to accommodate 24 of us in groups of 6. Each couple ordered separately and the food came out very fast and fresh. The variety on the menu was sufficient for everyone’s tastes and the portion size for the price was excellent! My wife had the fried Clam Basket and I had the Grilled Trio of Shrimp, Fresh Mahi and Scallops. For a treat for the table we finished with a signature dessert “bread pudding” that was absolutely warm, creamy and delicious. Above all, the Manager and employees who served us were engaging, knowledgeable and followed-up to ensure we enjoyed our meals. For a fast casual service environment, their service was more like full service than fast food. Definitely a hidden treasure in Coral Springs and at their other location in Coconut Creek.

One of the best and tastiest seafood restaurants in South Florida, we tried several seafood restaurants all over the state, honestly this is the best. Very reasonably priced manue, high quality, tast fresh, seafood and salad. Very friendly staff, Julian answered all of our questions patiently and professionally. Highly recommended as we told all of our seafood lovers friends to try it.

amazing!! went here around 3pm for lunch and it wasnt overcrowded. we asked for a recommendation because the menu is pretty large and valentina recommended the shrimp cajun pasta, the portion size was amazing and sooo good, definitely worth it!! my mom got the mahi tacos and she loved them especially the cilantro sauce it came with. definitely recommend stopping by!! <3

The staff was friendly, fast, and clearly passionate about what they do. It felt more like a neighborhood hangout than just a restaurant, and that made the experience even better. Highly recommend this place if you love good seafood without the fuss. I’ll definitely be coming back!

If you enjoy fresh seafood and you don’t wanna pay “on the water” prices, then ‘The Fish Joint’ is your place. Everything tasted fresh and what I had for my first time there was very enjoyable. The NE clam chowder was tasty. The conch fritters were full of conch, while the batter inside of them remained moist. The fish and chips was a big portion and the crust was delightful. It seems the fries were hand done as well. The portions for the money are very generous. I had to take food home. Also, there was a land lubbers menu for those who don’t want fish. Julian was my server and he made the experience really good. He said the food was really good and he was right! He was attentive and made sure nothing was needed and that I gave him feedback on my experience. I highly recommend this restaurant and I will definitely go back.

Everything was so great we came back the next day! Came in on a Wednesday just to try but then noticed the Thursday special was a lobster roll so we had to be back. Day 1 we tried Mahi Tacos and a Shrimp roll, amazing. The amount of fish in the tacos! They don't skimp out! The service was amazing too, extremely attentive. The place itself was clean and full of cool art on the walls. They have specials everyday and it's great food.

Had lunch here that we really enjoyed. It is in a strip mall, Nice clean place that is full of hard surfaces. You order at the counter. Staff was quite friendly and accomodating. The food was hot, well prepared, and brought over to our table quickly. We had Fish and Chips, a clam strip roll and grilled fish tacos. All were appropriately seasoned and very tasty. We really enjoyed the curved scoop shaped french fries and all agreed they would be great with nachos. We were glad we stopped

It's fine , tacos are decent if a little pricey . Nothing particularly outstanding in my view for the price , but an OK quick bite to eat .

Tonight we returned again for seafood. My husband got fish tacos and I had Clam Chowder and Snow Crabs. The crabs were on the Saturday Special. They were overly smothered in butter which makes eating quite messy. They were delicious though. My husband always enjoys the tacos. The seafood hit the spot until next time.

Fast food with great service. My favorite meal to get is the fried shrimp with cajun rice. The lobster roll is the best and the food is fresh.

If you're craving top-notch seafood in Parkland, look no further than The Fish Joint. Despite not being the biggest seafood aficionado, this spot has won me over with its outstanding offerings. I started with the clam chowder which is one of my favorite soups and this one does not disappoint! Lots of clams in a thick sauce. Then for my entree I had the fried clam platter and for my sides, french fries, and corn - all excellent. The clams were impeccably cooked, without of any overpowering fishy taste. And let's not forget the hush puppies, a personal favorite that I could devour endlessly. We also got the seafood trio - featuring cod, shrimp, and fried clams - was a hit. Each platter comes with two sides and those addictive hush puppies, making it a fulfilling meal. While prices lean towards the higher end for a quick-service joint, the quality of the food more than justifies the expense. The ambiance of the restaurant adds to the dining experience, with its charming aesthetics and vibrant atmosphere, situated in a prime location on the border of Coral Springs and parkland. Additionally, the daily specials, featuring a different discounted fish item each night, offer even more reasons to visit. I've frequented The Fish Joint numerous times and have yet to be disappointed. With its consistently excellent fare, inviting ambiance, and attentive service, it's a dining destination that I'll happily return to time and time again.

The red snapper has no seasoning, therefore no taste. Same thing with rice no seasoning no taste. Never going back. A 5 out of 10. Very disappointed. Walk in the place no greeting.

This place is usually very good. However, I've been debating whether to order a lobster roll for quite some time now lol. So today was the big day I ordered it. Pay $26 for a hot lobster roll can't tell you how disappointed I was. It was extremely dry with no butter. Let me make sure I'm telling you that the food usually is very good here. I would just stay away from the lobster rolls I'm not eating this review. I got a phone call from the manager. They gave me a brand new one lobster roll. It was absolutely delicious. These people called me immediately when they saw this review to make it right. I strongly recommend this place to everyone these are really stand-up people

Looking for a quick bite and what a treat! My husband got the mahi tacos and I ordered the mahi mango salad with a side of hush puppies! Excellent service, amazing food. Fast food at restaurant quality. We will be back!

There was something oddly familiar about the Fish Joint that I couldn't put my finger on and then it hit me! The Fish Joint had another location in Coconut Creek lol (which I've reviewed prior) but this was just alright. However, tonight it seemed that most restaurants in the area were packed and being all out of options, the family and I went the Fish Joint location near the house. Going in, the Fish Joint was jumping, but we were able to order rather quickly. For dinner, we ordered 1x blackened Mahi sandwhich with coleslaw and 1x fried shrimp platter with coleslaw and fries. Moving on with my review, the food was surpsingly excellent! The Mahi sandwhich was super flaky, had fresh veg, and tasty house made tartar sauce! The fried shrimp came in a well seasoned batter & were super tender, coleslaw was nice n creamy, and fries were also well seasoned & crispy! Moreover, service tonight was fast and highly attentive. Overall, glad to say that tonight was a success, and happy to give the Fish Joint in Parkland an overall 5/5 stars - nice work!

Stopped here while in town, the clam chowder and blackened shrimp Caesar was awesome, absolutely delish!!

This was my first time eating here. I thought it was pretty good. The lady at the counter was also very friendly and helpful. Great food presentation too. It was a little too dark in there for me though, we decided to eat outside instead of inside. They have outdoor seating.

The Fish Joint is a fast casual seafood restaurant owned by local resident Brian Rifkin. He has worked in the restaurant business for over 20 years and it was his passion as a fisherman that led him to open a seafood restaurant. I had previously eaten at the Fish Joint Coconut Creek location during the pandemic. Glad to see that not only did they make it through but they expanded to this second location that opened in December of 2022 in the Shoppes of Heron Lakes near the Sawgrass Expressway in Coral Springs. The Coral Springs location is twice the size of the Coconut Creek Fish Joint, It is located in the spot formerly occupied by Falafel Bistro. There is a large mural on the wall and surfboard decorations on the walls and ceilings. You order at the counter and they bring the food out to your table. The mainly seafood menu is cooked to order ensuring you get always get a fresh meal. The menu is divided into starters, soup and salads, sandwiches, tacos, boils, po'boys, platters, pasta, and land lovers. They also offer a market price lobster roll. Dessert is key lime pie, chocolate cake, and bread pudding. After much deliberation I chose the fish n' chips served with fries, coleslaw, hush puppies, and tartar sauce. I had to wait awhile for my food but I finally received two large perfectly fried pieces of fish. The chips were great and I loved the hush puppies. They even had malt vinegar available to grab. The coleslaw needed a little work but otherwise I really enjoyed the meal. I love supporting small local businesses so I highly recommend you check them out the next time you have a seafood craving.

Excellent, great spot for seafood favorites. Lobster roll off the chart! Pastas are great too....BH

So glad we stopped in for lunch today! I've been craving a GOOD New England style lobster roll and found perfection today! At market price and REAL MAINE LOBSTER it was 10/10! My husband got the grouper sandwich fried, and we both opted for coleslaw. Both of our meals were super fresh and made to order! Service was great. Friendly and proud of the establishment. Very cute decor and VERY clean inside. My daughter crushed her chicken tenders, but they do have other options, a decent kids menu for your littles. Beer and wine is available! We will be back for sure.

Absolutely unacceptable experience. I placed an $80 order at this place, only to be told they gave my food away to another customer by mistake. Instead of taking responsibility and resolving the issue, they tried to justify it by saying "you have to see it from our point of view, it was an $80 order." How is that the customer's fault? They had no one on site who could issue a refund, couldn't remake the food, and instead handed me a generic card with no phone number--just an address and an email--with the vague reassurance that "there's a 90% chance he'll honor a refund." So let me get this straight: no food, no refund, and now I have to chase someone down via email and hope they decide to do the right thing? Completely unprofessional, poorly managed, and disrespectful to customers. Avoid this place unless you're okay with losing your money and walking away hungry.

We have been here several times and it doesn't matter what we order the food is fabulous! The crab boil and fried mahi mahi are favorites. The service is always excellent and fast. We love this place, so reasonable too. Don't let the slight fast food vibe of the restaurant give you the wrong impression, this is food quality you find in expensive places.

We read a lot of positive reviews so we thought we would try. I personally don't like the "walk up to the counter to order, go sit, and we'll bring the food to you" aspect. Why not just let me sit and order? That having been said, the employees were very friendly, courteous and helpful. The fish was fresh and tasty, maybe just a little greasy. They included a hush puppy on each order. STOP! Their hush puppies were awful! Dry and brown and over cooked.

Biggest rip off in Coral Springs. Run run run Whoever runs the place knows nothing about owning a restaurant They know who I am. I was served a cod sandwich n the fish was the size of my hand stretched out n I am 5 feet so figured how big my hand is n it wasn't even wide the fish. If I rolled my hand the fish would have stayed in my palm I was the third person in there. I think they give different portions for different people. They saw me coming a little old lady ready to rip off. Not even a thank u or a hello from the manager. The counter girl said goodbye. She was nice. I asked to change my order n she said it was too late There was an older man sitting there w a lap top. N when I was leaving I guess it was the manager came out n sat w him It was already planned when I walked in to rip me off That's why I don't go out to eat fish anymore. They should be ashamed of themselves When a restaurant is empty on Friday afternoon that's a sign. It stinks. Going down The sandwich was all bun. I took off the top bun. Too much bread. What a joke. 18$ including 3$ tip for nothing I felt bad for the girl at the cash register Rude rip off artists. It won't last. Too cheap to give excellent service portions. I should've taken a picture n returned it for a refund n left n drove to McDonald's nearby in the lot or Annie's next by for a extra large slice Maybe that is why it was empty. They deserve it BIGGEST RIP Off in Coral Springs

First impression walking up to the restaurant on a Saturday night... why are there so many people here!? Clearly, it must be good! Every table was filled when we arrived and there was a line to place your order. Nothing crazy. Just a sign that the food is worth it! I was able to snag a table outside which I was perfectly fine with being that it was a Saturday night and no other businesses were open in the shopping plaza. However, I could see how during the day when it is busier, sitting at a sidewalk table could be a little crowded and unpleasant. The only downside was that the table was still dirty and it took quite a while to flag someone down to clean it, involving two tedious trips to my table. The wait for the food was a little longer than I would have expected for a quick-food service type restaurant. But it was pretty busy so I was understanding. We must have gone at peak dinner-time because the crowd died down as we ate. I will say, the wait was definitely worth it. The food was SO GOOD! I got the fish and chips and my husband got the fried shrimp and clams. I really loved that they both came with a side of hush puppies, they're my favorite and these did not disappoint! The only complaint other than the wait was that they were out of vegetables which my husband had asked for as a side. How do you run out of vegetables at 6:45 on a Saturday night? All in all, the food was great and I would definitely come here again, just at a less busy time!

Great food. Ordered to my hotel last night and came in person today. Lobster bisque is flavorful and large portion, same for their cheese grits. Salmon platter had a really nice portion of salmon, I got it blackened and it was deliciously seasoned. Definitely will be back.

A very plain environment, with little decor, but really good food. We were there for the lobster roll special, and even when on special, it was still pricy. I guess I'm used to the prices up north where I lived for over 60 years. Now I have no problem paying for good quality food, but maybe the plain walls, and walk up service threw me off. That said, the lobster, your choice of New England or Connecticut style (cold with mayo, or hot drizzled with melted butter) was sweet, cold (I chose New England style), and plentiful. I just wish they had a little more ambiance and less glaring light.

Outstanding find for some great sea food right here in coral springs. We had the hot lobster roll with some slaw and a couple of hush puppies. The best I've ever had. The server suggested and I'm glad we listened. We will back. I'm sure once they're discovered by the general public they'll be lining up to get door thru the door !

Friendly atmosphere - food was fresh. Lobster roll was piled with lobster meat. The restaurant was empty other than me and another customer but it was 4pm on a Friday so maybe it's more of a take out joint. Did see lots of customers doing just that.

Cute little place. Nice and clean. Great food - I had the mahi platter with veggies (very good) and cheese grits. It all hit the spot! Service was very fast. The girls at the counter were very patient with this first timer!

Good food and the staff was extremely helpful and friendly. They have a huge menu with lots to choose from. Ending up going with coconut shrimp as an appetizer and a fish sandwich. Both were good. Most items come with 2 hush puppies which was just the right amount. The Hush puppies were good but not something I could have eaten a lot of so glad I ultimately decided against that as a side. Looking forward to going back and trying other items on their menu. Will update review once I do so and add photos.

Nice local family-friendly fish place that Coral Springs has been missing. The food is decent and the prices are reasonable. We tried the grouper platter and the snapper platter. The sides were grilled vegetables, cajun rice, coleslaw and corn on the cob. The grouper was better than the snapper but it was all good - not great. Still a welcome addition to our regular lineup.

Food was great, service was great! Plenty of tables to sit and enjoy!! Will certainly be back.

Plenty of parking, fries were outstanding, food was very good, but it is entirely self service. Coffee shop atmosphere. Staff very willing to help in anyway, and we will go back.

I've visited this location about more times than my account would prefer but it's been worth it. The staff is extremely friendly each and every time. The new staff member Rusheda is a great addition. I've seen her interacting with multiple customers while I'm there waiting for my food and she knows how to make the encounter more than just ordering food. I've been in customer service my whole life so I can tell when someone goes above and beyond. The food has always been consistently fresh, hot and delicious. The place looks great and has been pretty packed every time I've gone in. It's kept very clean inside and out. I recommend the mahi, cod, fries, hush puppies, and cheese grits. Everything I've ordered has been delicious!

Casual eatery. Mussels ($14 classic-w wine & garlic), Lobster Roll ($25). It's 2pm on a Monday, so not busy. It's clean-music is good. Here comes our food... Nice amount of fresh lobster-thumbs up. Mussels delish, though broth was a bit salty. Little hush puppies SO flavorful! My feedback was met with super pleasant attitude. This guy rocks with his customer service.

Fish Joint is a casual, affordable seafood restaurant with two locations in South Florida, owned and operated by Brian Rifkin, a 20+ year veteran of the restaurant industry. Rifkin opened its first location in Coconut Creek in February 2020, right at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, and has since expanded to a larger, more spacious location in Coral Springs. At both locations, Fish Joint offers a streamlined menu of boiled, fried, and broiled seafood options, sandwiches, soups, and salads. Rifkin's goal was to create a dining concept that was casual and affordable, filling a void in the market for this type of cuisine. He has also solved the problem of quality seafood by leveraging his industry contacts and creating a reliable supply chain. While the original location in Coconut Creek is optimized for takeout, the Coral Springs location has twice the seating capacity and a whimsical interior decoration, including a giant psychedelic mural of a filleted fish wearing goggles, headphones, and a scuba diving apparatus. The new location also offers a few new menu items, including seafood pasta dishes and Ahi Tuna Nachos. One standout menu item is the Shrimp Po Boy, piled high with freshly fried "popcorn" shrimp, lettuce, tomato, and tartar sauce and served on a large torpedo roll. The Mahi Big Boy is another popular sandwich featuring fried filets of mahi with shredded cabbage, bacon, lettuce, and tomato on a large submarine roll. These sandwiches are big enough to feed two people if you've ordered an appetizer or a soup. If you're in the mood for something fried, the mixed seafood platter is a good choice, featuring fried cod, shrimp, and clam strips that are battered in-house and not from a frozen bag. The clam strips, which can be ordered on a Po Boy sandwich or by themselves, are particularly good, even for those who don't typically enjoy them. For something a little more upscale, the seafood pasta dishes are excellent. The linguine with clam sauce, in particular, is a standout, filled with chopped clam meat and whole manila clams. The Ahi Tuna Nachos are another great addition to the menu, featuring cubes of raw tuna poke on top of fried wonton skins, sesame seeds, fresh avocado, seaweed salad, and spicy aioli. Of course, no meal at Fish Joint is complete without ordering their signature hush puppies, which are so good that you'll want to order them by the dozen. And for dessert, the bread pudding topped with ice cream or the Key Lime Pie are both excellent choices. Beyond the food, Fish Joint has partnered with local high schools to teach students about the restaurant industry and create a new generation of restaurateurs. This commitment to the community is another reason to support this locally-owned business. Fish Joint is an excellent choice for anyone in South Florida looking for casual, affordable seafood dining. With two locations, a streamlined menu, and a commitment to quality and community, Fish Joint is a standout restaurant that is not to be missed.

What an amazing meal!!!! We were greeted and made to feel comfortable on our first visit!! Morgan and Kylie took care of suggesting options, bringing additional sauces and checking up on us while we dined, to make sure we had everything we needed. The fish and chips were delicious, and so much food!!! I took 1/2 home for lunch tomorrow!!! The grilled shrimp were succulent, sweet, and plentiful!!! The hush puppies were soooooo good, and I really enjoyed the fresh "chips" that came with the fried cod. I can't wait to come back for Lobster Roll day, and also to try the clam chowder, Lobster Bisque, and steamed clams!!!!

So glad they opened a second location closer to my house. It was busy when we arrived but there wasn't a wait to order. It's an easy order at the counter and they bring it to your table setup. They have plenty of inside seating and a small outside area. We ordered a salmon platter, snapper platter and buffalo popcorn shrimp. We were so impressed with the food we went back up and ordered a side of hushpuppies and the fish dip. Everything was super tasty. I could eat 20 hushpuppies by myself I liked them so much. All of the staff was friendly and were quick to clear the table of plates. The Fish Joint will be a regular place we visit for great seafood.

This is one of my family's favorite places to go! The owners are amazing people, the food is absolutely delicious and I love the environment. My kids don't like eating out, but this is the one place we mention going to and they're running to the car! If you haven't tried it, you're missing out! The snowcrab and lobster rolls are to die for, along with the tacos, the hush puppies...and everything else we've tried!

I ordered the Fish Tocos, that had blacken Mahi Mahi...man were these good, oh the cheesy grits were amazing!! I also ordered the Lobster bisque, it had great flavor, but not too much lobster. The service was fast! Nice place to have a good lunch.

Great establishment with a menu that offers a lot of choices Great friendly staff! Food was awesome also!

Delicious! Great food and plentiful too! Not much atmosphere...no alcohol...forgot to ask if we could byob. You order at the counter, think Pei Wei style and food is brought to your table. Staff friendly and attentive. Again, great good cooked properly! We'll be back for sure!

This place kicks butt! Great Seafood! it comes out quick and cooked perfect. It makes me happy that there are people out there that care this much!

Food (5/5): We ordered the Lobster Roll with cheddar grits, fried shrimp po' boy and kids popcorn shrimp. It turns out I'm not a big lobster person but the lobster overall was tender and the roll, delicious! The wife loved the fried shrimp Po' Boy and said it was excellent. Plenty of other options left on the menu we wished we could have tried! Price (4/5): Priced reasonably well, a little on the higher side than expected for some of the non-seafood items (fountain drinks, side items) but, overall good value. Side note: I highly dislike the new norm of automatically being asked (by the computer at check-out) for a tip. This isn't a restaurant with a server waiting tables - you order at the counter and the food is dropped off. I'd expect for this type of business the owner compensates the staff well, and a tip would only be warranted for above and beyond service and/or large, complex orders. Restaurant (5/5): Easy to access location, quick service, clean restaurant, and friendly staff. Really fun beach themed decorations throughout.

Service was amazing and the food was fresh. Could use some seasoning on it but I'll take freshness over flavor any day. They have hot sauces and the spot was super cool with all the decor and colors. I enjoyed myself

Best lobster roll I've had in the area!! Service was amazing to Atmosphere was lovely

Great food and service will definitely be back must try this place. Better then we thought it would be

Food is good, service is good. Ambience is very casual. Prices are a bit high on some items. Overall a good rating.

Found a new hidden gem. Opened in 2019 and catered to the take out crowd. But they have enough tables inside and outside fir a casual spot. Started with conch fritters which were as good as any with a nice spicy aioli sauce. Hot and plenty. I had the snapper and wife had the grouper, blacked, with fries and slaw. All were hot and fresh as well. Staff was very helpful and nice. We'll be back asap.

Found this restaurant by accident a while ago. It's not too close to me but certainly with the 30 minute drive. Their soup is awesome. Have had tried 75% of what's on their menu. All has been great!! Except the lobster roll was a little chewy the night I had it. Not sure I would try again. Their fish and chips is the best.

My mom and I came in for lunch today. We were greeted by about 4 people. Everybody was so pleasant and helpful. The space was super clean and still looks brand new. We ordered the conch fritters along with fish and chips. Everything was delicious and so fresh! We will definitely be back to try more items.

I'm glad I randomly stopped in the Fish Joint. The food was really good and staff super friendly. Stop at the this place and eat, you will be happy you did.

Amazing seafood! My husband & I love the Ahi Tuna Nachos! They are so delicious and we always share the Coconut Shrimp, too! We have had the Mahi Mahi tacos both grilled & fried and you can't go wrong because they are both delicious! Two locations: Coconut Creek & Coral Springs and we visit both. Staff is friendly and the restaurant is always clean! We highly recommend this restaurant if you are looking for great seafood!
