J. Mark's completely won me back, and then some. A couple of years ago, we started coming less and less because the quality had clearly slipped, BUT..... Fast forward to today, and it's a completely different story. Everything we ordered was outstanding. The steaks were massive, juicy, and cooked to perfection, easily some of the best I've had anywhere, and I've paid top dollar at high-end steakhouses. The Hawaiian ribeye, in particular, was incredible, tender & juicy. The wings were huge and packed with flavor, honestly some of the best wings I could ask for. They've also stepped up their starters. The new bread with honey butter is insanely good, and the avocado eggrolls with tamarind sauce are absolutely next level. I added on the crab cake which is of insane quality, big lump pieces, it's actually hard to find breading. Service was just as impressive, attentive, smooth, and genuinely welcoming. I even had the chance to speak with the manager, Dani, who explained they made a major shift away from distributors that were hurting their quality. They went back to basics, focused on what made them great in the first place, and it shows in every bite. This was one of the best dining experiences I've had in a long time, across any cuisine. J. Mark's is back, and better than ever. read more

Service excellent Lamb chops two big ones, made perfectly I think we're $69. Ribs fair I wouldn't order One person had fish thought it was very good Restaurant is loud, but they all are... Parking is easy read more

My mom and I went here for lunch and we sat in a booth in the bar area. It's so nice and cozy up there with the big beautiful TVs and a bar that is a piece of art on its own. Our server was Vinny and he was a delight! Very friendly and professional and honest about what to order. I've had lump crabcakes many times before, and they all seem to be the same, full of breading. He assured Me that the Lump meat crabcake at J Marks is superb. Well, he was right! It was the best crabcake I've ever had in my life and I am 67 years old. I have also been to Maryland many times. I will always order this every time I go from now on. My mom and I enjoyed some specialty martinis and ended our lunch with an espresso martini. Danny, the manager is always so lovely and friendly. Our waiter VINNY was right there when we needed him every time. Excellent experience! Food: 5/5 | Service: 5/5 | Ambiance: 5/5 read more

The service was very slow! Our server wouldn't take our entree orders and dropped off appetizers and left super quick and was nowhere. We were already there for over 35-40 minutes and no entree orders placed. I couldn't imagine how long it would take to get an entree. Seems like she was too busy. We cashed out and are going somewhere else. Very disappointing and the menu prices online are different than inside. 50 dollars for a shrimp appetizer, calamari, and one soda. Elsi was our server. Calamari was chewy. Bleh. read more

I ordered a chopped salad, calamari, and blackened chicken pasta for two other co-workers and me. My salad had the wrong dressing; the avocado was a little brown. The calamari was somewhat okay, and the blackened chicken pasta was a real disappointment. The amount of grease on the to-go container was too much. My coworker stopped eating it because the pasta was drenched in oil. I always recommend this restaurant, but since the quality of the food is going down, this is it for me. read more

J Mark's Restaurant - Blackened Chicken Pasta - New American Near Me - Pompano Beach, Florida

Vacationing, wife and I ordered here. My wife had the blackened chicken with pasta. Lovely presentation, cooked perfectly. I had the ahi tuna salad, looked and tasted wonderful. Nice rare tuna, and nice presentation. Will be back again. The only downfall was that the server only visited once for ordering and when we got the bill. Other than that did not see him through the dinner. read more

This restaurant is near my home. I've been there many times. I'll go back again. It's a good restaurant, it's not great. The beef is not quite tender, juicy or flavorful enough for me to consider it prime, it's not bad. It's not unusual to have food cooked a little over done, this may not be the fault of the chef, it might have just been sitting on warmer too long waiting for other food for your table, or the wait staff. Service is fine, but not exceptional, if your water glass is empty, it will be refilled, just wait a bit. It's nice inside, clean, a little loud, tables are a little close, this may or may not be disturbing depending on who's dining nearby. read more

As usual customer service is really bad here in Pompano had to get another waiter waitress to come over to help me because my waiter was missing the manager apologized and I'm sure she really felt sorry but I just got the advertiser a drink and just hold ass out of here won't be back. This place has just been terrible. read more

Food took a long time to get to the table. I had the filet which was good however a bit too salty. The skirt steak was overdone & salty. Two people had the sirloin and had no complaints. Needs to have a charcoal grill and use real garlic and less salt. read more

Really was torn between 3 * or 4*, but I will give them the 4. I feel like this steakhouse was going for more upscale and it did have that vibe. The food was good but not amazing and the drink options were okay. I think what made me go 4 was because they were not busy and the wait staff, she really tried to make it great (the best) and they had small July 4th specials like a free Bam Bam shrimp with 2 drinks and steaks had 1 free topping, which she got mushrooms and I got onions. So I will say it was a good experience, not average. The mojitos were tasty and well done. They had bread that was okay, but not great, just kind of a soft wheat roll with butter. The Bam Bam was great and tasted amazing. The steaks, we had the 10 oz Sirloins and they presented well and were cooked correctly and still hot. came with two onion rings and one side. I had Garlic Mashed Potatoes and my wife had the Plantains. No issues and everything was good. The mushrooms for the steak are a mixture, so may not appeal to those who are partial to one type. Overall an decent experience. but a little more expensive than I would have liked if it had not been for the specials. Might need to try again, but I would try others in the area first. read more

Came here for happy hour and enjoyed the chicken slider on a bed of fries and the beef slider on a bed of fries. They both were like a mini happy meal and it was just what I needed for a midday bite. I also had a blackberry mojito that was 10/10. This hidden gem of a restaurant will stay on my list and I surely will be back soon. The service was great and we were sat within minutes of our arrival with no reservations. The atmosphere is dimly lit but definitely a place to enjoy food with family or friends. read more

This is one of my favorite restaurants. Everything is delicious. We went here again the other night and brought others. Everyone agreed, it's yummy.

Our first time in Pompano Beach and we just stumbled across this restaurant. First look you would think it is a chain BUT it is NOT. It is a family owned establishment and one you should definitely try. The interior decor and ambiance bring you in and right from the start you get a good feeling it's going to be good. We went on a Monday night. Party of 2. No reservation. Hostess was pleasant told us it would be 10-15 minute wait. It was just under 10. We got a nice booth in the bar area. Our server was Connor. He came up to our table promptly Started with a glass of wine each which came quickly. We shared the soup (Tomato Basil) and salad (house) appetizer. I've found when it's shown as a combo the portions are smaller, but not in this case. It was a full bowl of delicious soup and the house salad was just as large and fresh and delicious. My husband opted for the Mahi Mahi with green beans and I had the Chicken Fierro. Both were delicious. Very nice size portions Mine came with two nice sized pieces of chicken; which resulted in being boxed up to have for lunch another day. We didn't have room for dessert but the choices sounded delicious (7 layer carrot cake, chocolate cake, or apple pie with ice cream) Connor was super attentive and gracious when we asked him for entertainment recommendations in the area. Overall we enjoyed our dinner and would definitely recommend read more

We came here to celebrate NYE with our friends/neighbors in DBI (Deerfield Beach Island). Our group of 8 enjoyed our individual entrees, the cocktails and the Bam Bam Shrimp appetizer (reminds me of Kung Pao Shrimp). My hubs and I had our own version of Surf & Turf by splitting the Hawaiian Ribeye and Chilean Seabass. Both were outstanding. Thanks Kathy for the excellent service! read more

Was very pleasantly surprised on our visit here! My first time going to the restaurant. We sat at the bar as my friend mentioned, the bartenders are always amazing and they absolutely were! The cranberry ginger martinis were like christmas in a cup and the tuna appetizer was delicious. I had the lobster tails and they were able to accommodate my long list of food allergies which was great. The restaurant was clean. Had nice lighting, and other customers were very friendly and chatted up some conversation with us. Would definitely go back. read more

Excellent service from the manager Lindsay, to our server Ricardo Came for Christmas Eve dinner and Loretta was our server...she was a ray of sunshine. The food was soooo good and the Christmas decorations were great. We started with a spinach artichoke dip which we gobbled up. I had chicken parm with angel hair in Alfredo sauce. Not something I normally would order in a non italian restaurant but boy was it delicious. My sister had 5 cheese pasta which she loved. We had leftovers for another 2 meals. Such a great experience read more

Solo dinner on Monday 12/2/24. Arrived late without a lot of research or recommendations but the hotel manager suggested J Mark's. Atmosphere, dinner and service were all really good. Based on the bartenders recommendation I went with Fierro Chicken entree. Absolutely full of flavor, super rich and delicious. Chicken was really moist, adding the prosciutto and smoked mozzarella cheese, topped with Dijon white wine cream sauce puts this dish over the top! Amazingly delicious! read more

J. Marks had a busy, but challenging night. A very large reservation doubled in size with no notice, creating a bottleneck for the kitchen and every customer behind that 40 person party, including my table of four. I want to call out Dani (the manager) and Sage (our server) for calming us down and despite the challenges, delivering us the enjoyable evening we were looking for when we walked in. AND the Kitchen did serve us a delicious meal I speak for all of us at our table when I say Thank you Arthur Lazarus read more

We really enjoyed our meal at J Mark's in our neighborhood. It was my first time here and I was pleasantly surprised at how nice it was inside. The atmosphere was warm and inviting. Our server was excellent and our food was delivered promptly. We had the Hickory Cobb Salad and Prime Rib Sliders. Both meals were very good. The prices were fair and it was great to find another local place to eat. The menu had some other great salad choices which I look forward to trying next time, although I just may have the same yummy dish again. read more

Going Downhill. This used to be our favorite restaurant . Now they are nickel and diming their customers ($0.50 for extra tartar sauce for my fish), service is slow, prices keep rising, drinks are w/o alcohol, and it is noisy. NOT a good experience. Go somewhere else. read more

Once we sat down the service was top notch. I got the chimichurri steak which was out of this world delicious. Do yourself a favor and get it with rice and black beans. I would recommend this place to anyone! read more

So J Marks is a place that we go from time to time during the day. We have to catch their midday happy hour but it is our goal at one point to do that. Even when they are slammed and yes they get very busy... they are professional and efficient. The food and service are consistent and the staff is very personable. It's very cute inside and they also have a patio read more

Walking in the establishment it was a nice calming ambiance. Like an old school Tommy Bahamas with jazzy piano music. Best dense yeasty dinner rolls with soft whipped butter to start. Could get full off of that alone if eating more than 1 for sure. I just know dinner coming up is going to be great. Service was on point from beginning to end. Our server told us all the items they were out for the day but said there will be discounts on the skirt steak and Hawaiian ribeye that day to make up for that. So that's what we got and it was delicious! Key lime pie is the best around. Love the crust with chunks of walnuts, custardy pie, just the way I like it with key lime zest in it. Would definitely come back and would like to check out the mid-day offerings and happy hour that is from 2-6p read more

After an hour wait to be seated on a Saturday evening, we were escorted to a very nicely decorated booth. Our waiter was pleasant and took our drink order. I ordered a Margherita which was good. Upon his return, I ordered the Orange Chicken with Basmati Rice. The dish arrived very hot, the way I like it, and was very good with a nice orange glaze taste. Some of the chicken pieces were too deep fried and a little overcooked. However, I was able to overlook that because it was tasty. Restaurant was clean as well as the bathrooms. I would recommend to call ahead and make a reservation especially during busy weekends. read more

Long time customer, first disappointing Experience Early New Year's Eve, but expect consistency in food quality and service as experienced in the past. The food - arrived warm like it had been sitting, sweet potato fries cold, the blue cheese burger was totally over done, the scampi pasta noticeably smaller shrimps than normal, the Caesar salad again nothing like the past. The manager on duty Dani was very curt, dismissive and not genuine. Sorry but we will not return. Will give the ft lauderdale location one more attempt read more

They are welcoming when you walk in. Lovely ladies & some gents.wonderful servers ambiance's is perfect. Lights decor very nice. Servers are very kind and helpful. Food was delisious.

Excellent experience. read more

If you like good food and good service, you will love this place! Big, unique menu is just the beginning. Anyone can find anything to eat here and the menu is so expansive that we've come here on back-to-back nights and had totally different things. The rolls before dinner are fresh hot and delicious. I highly recommend the chicken Parm, the burgers, and even the zucchini noodle pastas - they're all delicious. Wife also had a fish special that was terrific (I didn't like the ribeye steak I got). We have been here four times and have never had poor service. Everyone is super nice including the hard-working bartenders and managers. If there's a drawback, the bathrooms aren't always clean and could use some attention much more often. But overall, a terrific place. And a busy place - expect to wait. But it's worth it. read more

This restaurants decor has a certain mood to it, maybe even romantic with its soft lighting. Very quiet, relaxing even. I found Chris our waiter to be very outgoing, caring, and very attentive. He truly seemed to enjoy working here, part-time as I learned he's a teacher as well. I started with the Ginger Rose martini....they were good ! As we were looking over the menu, there's ....wide range of choices - you will definitely have to make a choice or two ! An appetizer arrived - they insisted it was for us... Bam bam shrimp... a smaller version of what's on the menu. This sweet and spicy sauce made us anxious to taste more... It's a promotion - first time visiting...it caught our attention. Food here is exceptionally good. Crab cakes were delish, not a lot of breading, more crab, less bread... Not one shell piece - We fought over my side, which was asparagus - very tender and buttery. New Orleans Pasta with shrimp was seasoned perectly...I had a few forkfuls - savory.... We topped off our meal with dessert- which we don't do often...though as Chris (our waiter) was telling us what was available - his face said, this one...Yum, yummy .....the plate was empty. Reggie, the chief, came by our table, too. He wanted to make sure we were enjoying our meal. Nice touch All the food was fresh and made to order. Very impressive. Not expensive for the portions and food they serve. I will definitely mark this to come back, too....there are other dishes that I like to try.. read more
