Chinese food on a sunny Saturday afternoon.
Tracy L.

We heard about Happy Wings & Fried Rice from two coworkers. Those guys crowed about the restaurant from the top of the house! So we decided to see about it for ourselves one Saturday afternoon. Both of them warned us it was in "da hood". One even recounted a gunshots incident a la "Boyz in the Hood" that made even duck or run for cover! This is one of those restaurants that YELP should add to as a "Best Hole-in-the-Wall restaurants" category. Despite it being where it is, please do not let that dissuade you from going. No lie. We went there early one Sunday morning [11:39 AM], saw about 15 questionable characters hanging around, and made a U-turn. Sandwiched between a food store and a urban wear store, this is expected. Just go, and get out if you feel comfortable. You can even order ahead. Speaking of sandwiched, there are 2-3 seats inside. And with the incredibly small amount of space between the front door and the order counter, you might feel like a sardine in a can, if you wait inside for your order. We received a happy greeting, which is important for us. The variety of wing flavors can be overwhelming [same as with Perry Wings], especially when you factor in the heat levels. As with most places that serve flavored chicken wings with a plethora of choices, you can mix flavors. But we really didn't go for the wings. We went for the House Special Rice! THAT rice separates this place from all other run-of-the-mill Chinese restaurants! THAT rice AND the amount of it you get with your order. This is a soul food Chinese restaurant. So they know their demographic. Happy Wings & Fried Rice should be your new go to for Chinese food. But don't take our word for it, read the YELP reviews and 400+ Google reviews!

Great flavor on the wings! We got the butter lemon pepper. They have plenty of wing sauce options which is cool! The fried rice is also great - we went with the special house rice which comes with shrimp, ham, chicken, krab and more! So tasty! The service is so-so. Lastly, The place is only take out and they don't offer delivery through any app service.

We chose to sit outside to enjoy the view. It was a little warm, but definitely worth it for the scenery. We ordered the shrimp sushi roll and the fresh catch branzino. The shrimp roll was excellent and definitely our favorite. The branzino was fresh and well prepared, though it wasn't our favorite dish of the meal. Our friends ordered the burger with fries, and they absolutely loved it. The service was friendly and attentive throughout our visit, which made the experience even better. Overall, we had a wonderful time and would definitely come back for the views, great service, and delicious food.

Seating capacity is 600+, so there is the possibility of dining without reservations, but in season, maybe not. Aside from the view and the size, the brunch/lunch menu offers quite a selection and the food is delicious. Their Eggs Benedict with wood fire Beef Tenderloin and the Shrimply Divine Avocado Toast are both really divine. The staff are cordial and attentive. I'd give a five star review but perhaps I'm old school thinking that the staff shouldn't look like they just woke up, nor just came passing by wearing Daisy Dukes. Where's the class? After all, it's not a sports bar. Other than that, I recommend the Beach House for your next meal.

The ocean views, fresh air, and peaceful atmosphere made it feel like a little escape from everyday life. I love that they host this event monthly and that it's free to attend.

She is the type server that you ask to see the Manager to express your appreciation for hiring such an excellent employee. We had artichoke dip and jumbo lump crab cake for appetizers and for our meal we selected the Cashew-crusted Salmon, Alaskan Halibut, Hawaiian grilled ribeye and the Lobster. I took pictures of the menu dated 8 October 2026 for an in-depth description. The only item that fell below expectation was the lobster ravioli. We expected chunks of lobster, but it was finely minced lobster with a taste close to a cream cheese. It tasted like lobster but it also tasted like the rest of the filling. The cream sauce and pasta were spot on. It was still good but for the price it would rate 3 stars. All four of us would definitely return and that's what restaurants shoot for. And it's the best compliment you can give a restaurant. A great place to have a good meal. We will be back!

Lucky Fish has become a staple in my arsenal of "where to bring my out of town friends or family"…read more Simple, great food presented well in a fun beach atmosphere that is really hard to beat. My go to is the blackened fish sandwich with mango chutney sauce! Their French fries are so good! Sounds silly because I've probably eaten a zillion fries in my lifetime but they are delicious. One of my sons is a fan of the triple threat burger, another one loves the cheesesteak and one of the wraps. The wings are great. I don't eat coconut but I have a friend who loves the coconut shrimp. Plus who can argue with a frozen drink on the beach. This is a consistently great place, excellent atmosphere for family, children, friends, date night. Did I mention they have a swing and live music? The bar is lively. And has all the games on the TV's They do not take reservations but we have never had to wait more than 15 minutes for a table. Highly recommend this place if you're in the area, or a local who wants to pretend to be a tourist for a day.

Located right by the Pompano piers. Super convenient place to take a break from fishing or beach…read more Nothing special about the foods. The fish and chips are a bit overcooked and the smoke fish appetizer is just okay. However, the service is top notch! We were there as a big group, and they were super accommodating! We got seated on the beach side next to the swings. The kids love the swings!! We also can hear the live music next door. Definitely check it out if you are in the area and need a break from fishing

Haven't been there recently but last time: smoked/fish bites excellent…read more Loud Service very good. Attentive friendly.

We've been here many times before over the years, so I'm surprised I don't show a previous review…read more We've been here when it was packed on a weekend evening, and they had music, and it was too loud to converse. We've been here and eaten dinner in their backroom. We've brought visiting friends and family. We've been here over the years for various lobster specials and even sushi and during happy hours, too. This was the first time we'd been back in some time. It was a nicer and quieter experience coming for lunch during the week. We were able to spread out at a slightly larger table. There are still two kitchens, so it gets a bit complicated when you order. The food comes out whenever its ready, and from different locations, so you don't always get your appetizer first -- sometimes it comes with your meal. Next time, I'll try to remember this. The sodas are not brand name. They are not the best nor close to the originals. I think the carbonation might have been off, as well. Today, they had a special on oysters -- they were half priced. I ordered some peel n eat shrimp to come first so I could share this with my husband. And some Nola oysters -- half a dozen "grilled" New Orleans style for my main when he had his lunch. Instead, everything for me came out all at once. And the shrimp -- which I'd assumed would be cold -- were served hot. That was my mistake, I guess, not to verify this when I ordered. That being said, the shrimp swimming in garlic butter and a tad messy to eat, were a nice large size and quite good. They were served with a couple lemon wedges and a small container of cocktail sauce. The oysters, however, were miniscule and basically some hard melted cheese on a tiny bit of something difficult to taste/find. They didn't taste grilled, either. If we hadn't been paying only $10 for the six of them, I would have been even more disappointed. My husband got their shrimp and chips. The fries were served well done as ordered. The shrimp were in a thick batter. The dish came with some tartar and cocktail sauce. He said they were okay (and that my shrimp were much better than his). We had good service, and everyone was friendly and smiling.

They had just opened and we were the only customers for most of the time we were there. A couple came and left after no one approached them (they were in the back); and as we were finishing up a mother and son decided to dine in. The small restaurant has been a number of places. Last time we were there was when it was Moira Grill. It is located in the strip on the south side of the street near the Briny Irish pub and just a short walk to the beach. There are inside tables and a few umbrella covered outside tables. The menu looks a bit expensive. We asked about specials and they had a lot of lunch specials -- all for about $15. The server recited the specials to us. If you are not familiar with Cuban food, or Spanish, you'd have to ask for a translation. We both ordered one of the specials. They really should print these up or at least have one written sheet with these lunches listed to look at. They'd have a much bigger number of diners. My husband had the ropa vieja. He said it was quite good with tender meat, but the little portion served in a little bowl was small. It came with white rice and plantains. I got their lunch special of a skewer. You could choose either beef or chicken and I chose chicken. The chunks of chicken were grilled yet still moist. In between the pieces were slices of onion or slices of a cut up green pepper. It came with rice and plantains. This was quite good, also, , but could have used some additional seasoning. I'm glad we came to try them. Now we know.
