Hands down the best fried chicken I have ever had from a restaurant--so flavorful and perfectly crisp.

We celebrated Father's Day at South Bar and it did not disappoint. We had a reservation just…read morebefore it got really busy. This was our second time dining here; the first time being shortly after they opened. The restaurant is really beautiful inside with accents of green and gold and white. Outdoors, there's plenty of table space, a bar, and a stage for live music. It looked like it has been expanded since my first time there. I'm glad to see this restaurant doing well in Old Town Pompano. Our server was very friendly and assisted us with our questions about the menu. As we were there for brunch, we settled on fried green tomatoes Eggs Benedict, steak and eggs, and shrimp and grits. The fresh biscuits sounded so good that we ordered them. We should have asked for them to come out early, so we could enjoy them while we were waiting. However, we took them home and enjoyed them the next day. We also made the mistake of ordering a side of potatoes. That was definitely not necessary because two of the entrées came with potatoes, and we had more than plenty for the table. Again, something we enjoyed the next day. We were all impressed with what we ordered. Everything came out hot and cooked just as we had asked. My shrimp and grits were absolutely delicious. I also thought it was also nice that our server asked if we wanted to take our refilled drinks to go and prepared to go cups for us. This restaurant has been consistent for us, and I definitely plan to be back. Next time, I'd like to check out their live music scene and get a table outside when the weather gets a little cooler.

Tried Smith & Webster's rum punch and lobster & grits and honestly, both hit the spot!

Full-on comfort food with a luxe twist. Portions were decent, and the dish looked as good as it tasted. Ambiance was trendy and casual, making it great for brunch or dinner. Would easily come back just for those two items.

On my last visit this past October I ordered the oxtail lasagna, which is been salivating about and was a bit disappointed. It wasn't very well flavored and wasn't accompanied with anything which I'd hope for a $40 slice of lasagna. The shrimp appetizer is old faithful for sure. Perfect texture and very delicious. I always order one to go and now I have to figure out how to make it myself.

If you are looking for some delicious southern cooking from an actual grandma in her kitchen, then this is your spot! When I walked in and saw two actual grandmas eating and an actual grandma cooking. I knew this was going to be good. Just like any grandmas kitchen. The food is ready when it's ready, don't rush the process and you better clean your plate. I really felt like I just visited my granny"s house. The food was delicious. We got one of the family meals that came with 3 chicken wings 3 fried ribs, 2 fried pork chops and two sides. The collard greens were so flavorful and had big chunks of pork in it. You know the Mac and cheese was good. The wings were okay but the star for me were the fried ribs with there BBQ sauce.

We're still on the hunt for the best fried catfish in the Hallandale Beach, Fort Lauderdale, and…read moreMiami area, and after searching online, we decided to give Catfish Dewey's a try. If you're driving a larger truck, be aware that parking is available but pretty tight. Once inside, we were warmly greeted by the host, who was incredibly friendly and escorted us to our table. Our waitress was just as wonderful--attentive, personable, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal. There was music playing everyone there was enjoying themselves. Since it was Tuesday, we both ordered the all-you-can-eat fried catfish special for $21.99. They start you off with hush puppies and coleslaw, and when your meal arrives, you get your choice of a side. We both chose the fries. The portions were generous, with plenty of crispy fried catfish on the plate. The fish itself had great flavor, was perfectly crispy, and wasn't over-breaded. The hush puppies were delicious, and the French fries were cooked just right. My husband, who considers himself a bit of a coleslaw connoisseur, really enjoyed the coleslaw. I wasn't as impressed with it, but that's just my personal preference. My biggest disappointment was the tartar sauce. For a restaurant that's been around as long as Catfish Dewey's, I expected a homemade tartar sauce. Instead, it came in a pre-packaged container and tasted overwhelmingly of onion. Unfortunately, it just wasn't for me. If I were rating everything individually, I'd give the catfish a 7/10, the hush puppies an 8/10, the fries an 8/10, the coleslaw a 5/10, and the tartar sauce a 0/10. Overall, we enjoyed our visit, especially the friendly service and the crispy catfish. While it wasn't the best fried catfish we've had, it was still a good meal. As I always say, don't let my opinion make your decision. Everyone's taste is different, so go try it for yourself and form your own opinion. You might love it!

We absolutely love breakfast, so this was right up our alley. There isn't a ton of parking, but we found a spot without any trouble. We were seated right away, and that's when we met Darcy, our waitress! This lady was genuinely one of the nicest and sweetest servers we've had in a while, and she is wicked good at her job! I ordered two sunny-side up eggs, bacon, raisin toast, and chunky hash browns, and everything was cooked with that true "Mom love" you hope for when you go to a place called Mom's Kitchen. Everything was delicious and cooked to perfection. We also shared a couple of mimosas and really enjoyed relaxing on land for a bit before our long drive home. The bathroom was clean, and there was so much neat memorabilia around the restaurant. I honestly wish I had remembered to bring my phone with me because I would have loved to take pictures of all the little details! Overall, we highly recommend Mom's Kitchen if you're looking for friendly service, a welcoming atmosphere, and that comforting, homemade breakfast that tastes like it was made by a mom away from home. And if you get Darcy as your waitress, you're in for a treat! She was absolutely wonderful!

We sat outside, which is a nice open space with complete shading. Our server was very attentive even though it is a much longer walk back and forth. This was a quick session with 4 dozen raw oysters, Corona Light on tap, and great company. They have a huge menu that would take a long time to sample. I recommend asking the locals and staff to help narrow down your choices. I personally recommend all of the raw bar options and the peel and eat shrimp. With the peel and eat, go with the warm/spiced option. They get it right with the Old Bay embedding itself deep in the shell. Grab a friend and check this place out.

It set the tone for a really enjoyable dining experience. For food, I had the blackened mahi mahi sandwich, which was fantastic. The fish was perfectly seasoned with a nice blackened crust, while still tender and flavorful inside. My partner ordered the paella, and it was excellent as well--rich, well-balanced, and packed with flavor. Overall, Muddy Waters delivers on all fronts: great atmosphere, outstanding service, and delicious food. It's the kind of spot that feels uniquely Floridian and definitely worth a visit if you're in the Deerfield Beach area.

A perfect setting. The cashier/order taker was a gracious lady, polite, and attentive. The place had a pleasant, smoky aroma, just like it should. My wife and I went for the food, which is the central point of going to a restaurant. And the results met my expectations of the "Texas Standard". Brisket: full of flavor, with a nice smoky and all round taste. A minor issue was that it could have been a bit more moist. I say minor because this is the easiest thing to correct, by small adjustment. First rate. Spare ribs: excellent. My wife was over the moon. She is Brazilian and a veteran of Brazil BBQ. They were delicious. Chicken: perfectly smoked and moist. Even the white meat. There was a present bark on the surface, which added to the taste. Sausage: delightful. Obviously an individual, small batch recipe. Very flavorful and moist. Superb. Cornbread: My favorite style of light, natural flavor, not oily. Iced Tea: fresh taste and flavor. Not bitter. High quality. Sauces: regular and tangy. As good as I have ever tasted. Potato Salad: The best I have ever tasted in my 78 years. Different and unique. Coleslaw: Perfect. Cannot, in my opinion, be improved upon. Price: surprisingly fair. Very fair. I was pleasantly surprised at such Texas quality in Fort Lauderdale. We will be going to no other for BBQ.
