Parker was an amazing waiter!! He was super chill, friendly, helpful and good to be around. We parked in the lot, next to the restaurant, and it was about $40 for 1-3 hours I had the tacos. they were good. Friends Lobster roll entree was TINYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY. He was left famished. Everyone else enjoyed their meals read more

Pros: Food was ok, had a burger and couple beers My family of 5 bill came out to 121$ in which they can bill to your room if you stay at Margaritaville resort across the street. Cons: not all seating protects you from the sun beaming down so our party of 8 some were getting cooked! You smell gas from the boats parked a couple feet from dining and at times was unbearable. Waiter forgot one of my kids plates and the wait to get it took like 40mins to a choke that's Eternity! Lol Overall decent place , sitting by the water can be peaceful so may return. read more

A great place on the water. Food is excellent and my server was amazing. Took the water Taxi to get here and it was well worth the trip from Stop 4 in Fort Lauderdale. Fire pit for the evening was lovely, DJ played great music to suit all tastes. read more

A great spot to grab a drink and watch the boaters on the intracoastal. You can also catch the Water Taxi from this location and take it north with multiple stops to Fort Lauderdale. Located directly across from Margaritaville resort and a city parking deck. read more

Great place for a cocktail with a view and live music. We went on a Sunday at 5pm and a guitar/singer was performing. We sat in the sandy area. You get a great view of the intracoastal and the boats sailing by. There is a covered bar area. We had good service. They serve food, but we didn't have any. I had the spicy margarita, that needed more spice. We parked a few blocks north in the city metered parking garage. read more

5 o'Clock Somewhere Bar & Grill is a cool spot to sit outside. I love their patio area. They have the patio tables and chairs on sand. Bonus, there's a nice fire pit in the center of the patio with Adirondack chairs. Ahhhh. It's also located directly across the street from the Margaritaville Resort where my friend was staying. Convenient. Been here before with our family and we had a nice time. Food was good and we just loved the whole patio vibes. Manny was our server during this visit and he was so great! Super nice and laid back attitude. Don't mistaken laid back for lazy because he was a hustler and very attentive. Also very personable too. Above and beyond service fo sho! We ordered a few different things: * Blackened Mahi Mahi Tacos * Lobster Roll * Crispy Chicken Sandwich * Barbacoa Tacos * Kids Chicken Tenders * Kids Grilled Cheese * Kids Sliders * Key Lime Pie * Churros * Aperol Spritz * La Marca Prosecco * Virgin Pina Colada * Virgin Strawberry Daiquiri Drinks were good. Can't really mess up an Aperol Spritz or Prosecco. Lol. The kid's Virgin Pina colada was a bit heavy and sweet. Like I can taste the canned Coco Lopez. I think it needed more ice for sure. I really wanted grilled fish tacos and asked if they could make that. Manny said he could make the Mahi Mahi Sliders into tacos. Perfecto. My friend's Lobster Roll was buttery and tasty too. The fries were perfection as they were super fresh and crispy with just the right amount of season. Kids enjoyed their meals. Key Lime Pie was good but wish it was colder and firmer actually. It was too soft for my liking and warm. Ha. Churros were small portions but kids didn't complain. We stayed and hung out at the fire pit after dinner. It's such a perfect vibe to hang and relax. My bestie was in town and we were catching up. Manny was awesome and said we could stay as long as we like as long as we cleaned after ourselves. They were breaking everything down around us, which was fine by us. Haha. We left at 10pm when they closed. Cool spot when the weather is perfect! Go see Manny. read more

This tiki style bar was our final destination by our Fort Lauderdale water taxi which docked alongside the bar. The beachy atmosphere with a monster lit fireplace was the perfect place to have a drink and chill. Nothing super fancy at this place but a million dollar view of the intracoastal while sitting at the fireplace or watching football at the modern quartz top bar. At the far end if the property under a big tiki hut was a guy playing old rock and roll sings with his electric guitar and modest voice. The bathroom was clean with brown wooden flooring and beige marble-like walls. read more

Ordered coconut shrimp which I thought was a safe meal to order at a restaurant but clearly wasn't the case here. The coconut shrimp was still raw and only the coconut flakes on the outside were cooked. Luckily, the service here was great and my server immediately brought me something else to eat. Seems like all of these margaritaville restaurants are only still alive because of their good service. read more

Total tourist attraction to be honest. The food is ok and the beer and cocktails are middle of the road. The staff was friendly but if you're in a hurry to do anything understand your on island time. 12 people in the establishment and it took 35 minutes to get our food. I'm not complaining because we just watched the boats go by and were enjoying our vacation. You're sitting right on the intercostal waterway so you have an awesome view. The burgers were all overcooked, but not too bad. If you take the water taxi you get 15% off your food bill which they have obviously already figured into the pricing. This isn't a bad review or a good review, you're basically just paying to eat at Margaritaville. read more

RIP Jimmy Buffett! Fun little bar that's part of the Margaritaville Resort. It's located right on Stranahan River, so you might get to see a manatee putter by. There's a stage area for live music. For food , they have a scaled-down version of the Margaritaville restaurant menu. For booze, they have it all. Bartender Ashley from Denver, CO was awesome. Thanks for the moonshine soaked cherries! read more

Food was great, the mahi dinner blackened! The drinks were a bit spotty for me but I didn't typically order frozen drinks so... Service was spot on, the bartender was on top of everything. Key lime pie was delicious. 4 stars due to the "public user fee"... It's a restaurant/bar... Don't you want the public to use you??? read more

We stopped here for a drink before taking the water taxi up to Ft. Lauderdale. It's perfect that this is the Hollywood pick up spot for the taxi since you can have a drink while you're waiting. And you're allowed to bring it on board! This restaurant bar has a great unobstructed view of the intracoastal water way. The bartenders were quick and friendly. We'll be back soon to try the food and enjoy the views. read more

March 2025 This place is great to enjoy live music, grab a bite to eat & a boat drink on the water! If beach atmosphere is what you're looking for this is your spot. Tables are seat yourself which is the only down fall. I hate when I have to do a loop throughout a restaurant looking for a promo spot. BUT I loved the fire pit, Adirondack chairs & the life size games. read more

Atmosphere is energetic. They had a DJ for a bit. Mahi mahi sandwich was fresh. They give you a nice amount of fish. Fried pickles were different but amazing. Barbacoa was tasty as was the burger. Getting acknowledged and waited on is a bit on the slower side. But overall good experience. read more

I'm a local who has eaten at every restaurant on the broadwalk. I haven't been here in 6 years, and I was pretty disappointed. Firstly, there is no happy. Second, service was extremely slow. Third, food was only decent. I will say that for $20 the dockside burger is worth it. On the other hand, the calamari was not good; there were many hard pieces. Make sure you wear flip flops because the tables are in the sand. Also, there's live music daily. If you are from out of town, though, you will probably enjoy this place because it has beautiful views and the perfect South Florida vibe. read more

We loved the food, service and view. We tried to go again but it was a night when the whole area had lost power so we didn't get to return.

One of our stops while taking the Water Taxi, Our server Christopher Jay was attentive & ensured we had a great dining experience!

I want to thank Rosa for the amazing service and attention she gave us. My friend was celebrating her birthday, and Rosa truly made the experience special for both of us. Food was delicious, and I really appreciated the sweet gesture of bringing a slice of key lime pie and singing happy birthday! That was such a great touch! Than you Rosa for making our visit so memorable! Shay N. read more

I've become a regular here. It's a great hidden gem. They open at 11:00 and have a small brunch menu. $20 picture of mimosas and a $15 brunch platter while overlooking Holland Park and the Stranaham River. They usually have a pretty chill music playing and sometimes have djs. They also have a fire pit table that I assume they use in the colder seasons. Service is usually pretty good, better at the bar, but the view from the Tikis on the sandy area definitely is worth the wait read more

The host Angel seems clueless. We arrived and didn't see anyone for at least five minutes that looked like staff other than the waitresses delivering beer to customers. He'd go into the kitchen for a bit and we would see him for long periods of time. I overserved him saying whatever under his breath to a young couple with a young child after the dad/husband said something to him. There is no reservation system or phone for that matter. The host declared he had to make a new wait list. Waited more than 20 min waiting for someone to figure out if there was a table available or not.. We watched groups leave. Finally got out table but waited more than 10 min for waitress to come by. She took our drink order and when she came back asked us to order. Didn't share any specials and I had to ask about the catch of the day. The menu is extremely limited. My Lagerhead beer was flat. Now waiting to see how long it'll take for our appetizer (it's been more than 15 min and counting for a crab cake) let alone the entrees we ordered. Update - the entree was delivered less than 60 seconds after the appetizer. We couldn't see what we were eating because they didn't put any lights at our table. The food was okay. That said, sauces overpowered the taste of the appetizer and entree. Definitely would not come back solely based on the host. Second update: Got the bill and they add 1% as a Public User Fee and the wait staff state it's a tax by the city when it is in fact a money grab by the developer. I questioned the waitress with my facts and she soar she didn't know and that it was what the managers told them to say. https://www.baynews9.com/fl/tampa/news/2019/11/06/mysterious-public-user-fee-costing-pasco-shoppers-extra read more

The ambiance is there, you're right on the water. The staff is great, attentive and funny. The food was a bit off the mark. It wasn't bad, but I'm not dying to go back either. It was a bit expensive for small portions (I know it's a tourist trap). The crab hush puppies had plenty of batter and were a bit tough. Just nothing to write home about. read more

My wife and I visited 5 o'Clock Somewhere Bar & Grill twice during our stay in Hollywood and truly enjoyed it both times. We arrived for sunset and sat in the bar area, which was a great way to end the day. Ashley was our server on both visits, and we can't say enough good things about her. She was warm, welcoming, answered all of our questions, and made excellent drinks. She checked in on us frequently--without ever being intrusive--and made sure not just we, but everyone around us, had everything they needed. The food was good overall. We had the peel-and-eat shrimp, coconut shrimp, veggies, and the Caribbean Bowl with carne asada. Our only complaints were that the food was overly salty on both visits, which took away a bit from the experience and the carne asada portion was rather small for the price. Other staff members passing by were also friendly and made a point to say hello. Great atmosphere, excellent service, and we'd definitely return--just hoping for a lighter hand with the salt next time. read more

Prices are crazy there a margarita is 14 bucks in a 7 ounce cup really ? Also had the coconut shrimp with fryers and coleslaw . So tell me why I only get 6 small shrimps and waffles fryers for 22 bucks . Total a rip off and couldn't even eat the coleslaw because we weren't given utensils. This place is a joke and a rip off. Service is horrible had to wait almost 40 mins for a drink .Dont go here and waste your time read more

Love the finger food options they have there! It's a very chill place to relax when you're with your friends. They have a lot of sea food options too sea food lovers that's out there. I'm allergic to shellfish so I couldn't do a lot of option in that list . The menu is not that big with A lot of food options so you'll be good with picking what you're in the mood for. The food was great! The drinks too . I had tried this frozen alcohol chocolate drink that was a the serve was very nice to change it for me!! Sabrina was our server she was awesome!!! Love her honest opinion on everything on the menu. She was very very nice! We sat outside around 6 p.m it was hot we literally was chair hopping since there wasn't a lot of people there when we arrive . The tiki looking umbrella was much better to keep the sun from beaming on us. Overall I liked the place for a one time visit read more

The best part of this place is Juan the bartender. He was friendly, put on a show with mixing drinks, and made really good drinks. I asked for a little customization on an old fashioned and he made it perfectly. The fried pickles were underwhelming and soggy with all the toppings.

I love that it's on the water, but there was only one bartender, so service was slow. Food came quickly and the burger was decent. Music--which was also great--only lasted til 8 and by 9 we were the only people in the bar, so we left and went to Nick's for Grade-A people watching. read more

After dinner we took the celebration to this gem... very relaxing by the water. The music was great. Can't comment on the drinks this time. (We don't drink on shift weeks) But they did look DELUSHHHHH!!!!! Tempting for sure. But nurses & police have strong self control. Hajajaja... The decor is on point. The location is great.
