I love this place!!!! The servers are all excellent! The clam chowder is by far the best I've ever had. All the food was incredible. This place is 10/10. It's casual not fancy but they really are excellent. read more

Came here for a late lunch on our last full day in Fort Lauderdale. Our family hasn't had a meal since we got off the cruise ship so we were excited to get some seafood. Kelly's Landing was pretty busy when we arrived, we ended up waiting for a little while before we got a table for our group. Our server was very nice and friendly. The food took a very long time to arrive (it was about an hour after we got seated before we got all the food we orders). Turns out they were down a chef or two when we were there. The restaurant is pretty small so the seating felt a little bit cramped. The food was good - my favorites were the clam chowder and lobster bisque. read more

He Said: Had an enjoyable lunch at this New England themed restaurant. Definitely, lots of NE pictures and paraphernalia hanging on the inside walls. Overall, the food was good. Our waitress made the dining experience very enjoyable-- she was making lots of jokes and interacted with both adults and kids. The downside was we waited a while for a table--we had a large group so understandable. We did have to wait 45 min for the adults to get their food. The place is small and they said the cooks were understaffed. Pros: - Great wait staff - Good seafood. Get the chowder. Cons: - Lots of waiting read more

Right when you walk in, you are greatly welcomed by staff and was accommodated pretty quickly and for how busy it gets, they were on top of where the next available table is! The place is pretty small and kinda narrow format but just fitting enough for some great bites and a drink! Having seafood in another state other than California is definitely worth a try especially if you can find a place that serves whole lobsters! We got 2.5 lb whole lobster for only $60! And fresh! The clam and lobster chowder is a definite perfect starter to choose from especially on a cooler night. Large menu, great food portions but not too much of a variety selection for all, so if you don't like seafood, it's majority seafood type and mixes but has decent options for all. read more

Wow so good! Clam chowder is the best ever! My server Lori was so nice and so easy to help make up my mind. The place is in a strip mall but really home feel inside. The Caesar side salad was very fresh and good. The traditional lobster roll had great flavor and French fries were so good. I had their Kona draft beer and they had a good selection. I finished with a very delicious key lime pie. I live out of town and come down a lot. I will definitely be coming back it was so good! read more

Great little hole-in-the-wall seafood spot with cosy homely feel. The place was packed and clearly popular, but the experience felt pretty hectic. The food was really good but took forever - service was a little off -- there was a lot of nervous energy in the room, servers seemed flustered with taking tables. That said, the food itself was good once it finally arrived, and I can understand why people come here. It has was fresh, and delicious. The lobster roll was the best thing we ordered. Full and packed with meat. Definitely local feel you look for in a hidden-gem restaurant. I'd give it another try during a less busy time, because the quality is there--the service and overall flow just need some work. What we ordered: Mahi bites - exceptional Famous fried fish sandwhich and beans -It was ok very bland Crab cake - delicious Buffalo shrimp- amazing Lobster roll- THE BEST SO MUCH MEAT Scallops in garlic - super overcooked and dry read more

This place is one of my absolute favorites in the Lauderdale area. They've been there forever and it's always consistently fantastic.

Also shout out to the great servers in there. read more

Epic seafood that doesn't break the bank -- almost unheard of in Fort Lauderdale. The menu is surprisingly extensive, but it doesn't sacrifice quality. The steamed lobster is the obvious highlight: fresh, tender, and simply prepared. Don't skip the New England clam "chowdah" (That's not a typo) or the fried clam strips, both of which deliver classic, no-frills flavor. The daily specials are worth a look and often feature some of the best items on the menu. If you can grab an outdoor table, take it Service is attentive without being overbearing, and the décor leans unapologetically kitschy. A rare spot that balances quality, portion, and price. Definitely worth a visit. read more

I was in Miami for work for a few weeks and was really craving a good clam chowder. I was at a record store near by and did my research when I stumbled upon this absolute gem. I arrived at 6 pm and it was already busy. Good sign. The hostess said they had space at the bar and directed me right there. I sat and the mood was very congenial. Multiple people having a great conversation and a really nice vibe. I ordered the chowder and it came out quickly. I also ordered the soft shell crab poboy and it was massive. Impressive and quite affordable. That sandwich would have been like $30 in another city. The food was so delicious I went back another day but they were closed. Ultimately they made me a fan and I will definitely return. read more

Great food. That says it all. You will probably see your neighbors there. Usually a 15 minute wait in the evening. Prices are affordable

Be prepared to wait! We got there right before closing and the place was packeddddd with a line also outside with people waiting to get in. It was definitely worth the wait. Once we were seated we ordered and our food was out so quick for the amount of people that were there. First I ordered the lobster roll. I will say I think it's price for the size and I definitely was not full after it. We later ordered the 3 lobster tail special and each one of us had one and it came with one side. I think the 3 lobster tail special is much better, you get a lot more food and it was delicious. You will have to crack open the lobster tails yourself but they give you the tools needed. Overall amazing experience. It's in a big shopping center in the very corner of it so if you don't find parking right in front of the restaurant just park by the Ross and walk over. Overall great experience and will definitely be back! read more

Kelly's Landing was close to packed in off season when we came and it definitely seems to be a local fave. As we were sitting, different parties around us were greeted warmly by servers who seemed to know them well. For being in a regular ole strip mall, It felt cozy inside. Staff wearing Patriots gear were friendly. Started with Narragansett lager on tap, crab cake, and onion rings. All great! The onion rings are a must if you come here. Thin but not shoestring thin, really nicely battered. The crab cake was good but the mustard sauce really took it up another notch. I had an 8 oz (double meat for $15 more) Connecticut style lobster roll and steamed broccoli. The lobster meat on its own (there was a lot of meat!) was a bit salty and not as tender as I'd like. I think I'd try it cold next time as this could have come from sauteeing it. My dad had the baked shrimp dish which was nicely cooked. Side of Cole slaw was yummy too. The bread crumbs on top became a bit mushy as you ate it and as they soaked up the butter in the dish. Too full for dessert but we'd come back and try other things. Service was friendly but a little slow - but they were packed so it was understandable. read more

Went here 7 months ago and was not impressed with the lobster rolls. After reading so many raves about the place on various food-related Facebook pages, I had to try it again (as my urge for some tasty lobster heightened and other places were a disappointment). As usual, the place was packed and bustling. We waited 30 minutes for a table. Our main server was Alicia, though they all share duties (and the tips). Service was fast and friendly. We had the calamari appetizer and the Manhattan clam chowder. Our main meal was the Tuesday special of triple lobster tails for $35. The sweet potato fries were awesome. Even my house made iced tea was tasty. Dinner for two with an appetizer, soup, two lobster specials, tax, and tip was $127. We will be back! read more

Great place. Great lobsters. Tuesdays are great prices. Enjoy. One of the diamonds of So Florida restaurants.

First time here. Everyone was very nice. We had a mug of clam chowder and that was the star of the meal. The absolute best clam chowder I've ever had in my life. We both said we should've gotten a big bowl of that and called it a night. We had the mussels and there are two choices for the mussels. Marinara or scampi. I don't particularly care for red sauce on seafood, especially delicate seafood, like a mussel, but the scampi was odd. To me scampi is simply garlic, lemon juice and butter. There was something in it I don't know. It made me think of pickle relish. It was sweet and green and I don't know it just wasn't right, but it wasn't terrible. I ordered the surf and turf burger and I wanted it on lettuce or as a lettuce wrap instead of with a bun and they agreed that they could do that and when they brought it out, there was no lettuce. So they brought me out a plate of iceberg lettuce, which was fine. It was OK. They seafood on the burger seemed a little over done. But it was OK. My husband had the platter that had fried oysters and clams with coleslaw and there was zero salt on the fried oysters and clams. Any cook knows that you salt fried food as it comes out of the fryer. There was none. But we salted it, it was OK. A little heavy on the breading. But not terrible again. The coleslaw was good. The baked beans were tasty. All in all we enjoyed it. But like I said if we went back, it would be clam chowder all the way. I could eat that every day. read more

I had some of the best steamers I've ever had. I also had a cup of clam chowder. The soup tasted delicious but I don't actually think I had any clams in mine. I had a lot of potato. Friends ordered lobsters, one had the lobster tails and one had some combination dinner with a whole lobster, corn, clam chowder and I'm not sure what else. Unfortunately, they don't serve bread with the meal. I like bread with my drink while I wait for the dinner. A friend ordered the bread bowl and shared that with me - it's delicious but it's not on the menu - you have to know about it to ask for it - - why??? Parking is tough in that area so be prepared. Service was excellent. Dinner was a little pricier than I had heard it was - - perhaps prices just went up. read more

Kelly's Landing - I forgot to take photos of the food. - Seafood Near Me - Fort Lauderdale, Florida

Cool little place, the atmosphere inside is a bit better inside than outside, but you do get a bit more peace and quiet outside. The fish and chips were good. They've got a nice drink selection, including some New England beers, and the scallops we had to start which I think might be a temporary special were straight up amazing, we even kept the sauce to dip everything else in once we were done with the scallops. It's worth a stop if you're in the neighborhood! read more

The Clam chowder was excellent as usual. They were not busy and the service was lacking. The drawn butter was tasteless. I will return. I hope next time it is better. I think I heard the owners were on vacation maybe that is the reason for the inconsistency. read more

Kelly's Landing - Fried clam plate - Seafood Near Me - Fort Lauderdale, Florida

This was the real deal. I thought the "New England Seafood" might just be the motif, but that was not the case. The New England clam chowder was just as out should be...thick. The baked scrod brought me back to my childhood growing up in North Attleboro, MA. Coleslaw was on point. The place was busy at 3:30 on a Sunday afternoon. I didn't want to take up a table being by myself so I sat at the bar. Tonya was fantastic (though she forgot to bring my chowder until I reminded her). No big deal. To make the New England experience even better, the Red Sox game was on the big screen TV. I'm definitely coming back to try some other dishes. read more

The clam chowdah was exceptional. Thick, creamy and chunky with clams. Sometimes I worry about over saltiness but this had great flavor and didn't leave me absurdly parched. The ipswich clams were tasty but the appearance was a bit jarring. The siphon or retractable neck that filters from the mud looks odd. Be aware that the shells were especially sandy. The lobster rolls were scrumptious but the portion was disappointing for the price. The lobster meat fit in a small dipping sauce container. The container just seemed so empty. Maybe the presentation would've been more appealing and appetizing if we ate at the restaurant and the dish was plated. The salad was fresh and had a more substantial amount of seafood (lobster meat) which was more filling even though it was a salad. The lady who took our order was super nice. Of all the things, I think we would return for the clam chowdah! read more

If you're looking for fresh, flavorful seafood with a cozy, small-dive feel, Kelly's Landing is the place to go. I went on a Saturday and tried a few dishes that blew me away. I started with the fried conch tender, perfectly seasoned, and cooked just right. Next up was the lobster rangoon, which came out crispy and golden, packed with tasty lobster flavor in every bite. But the real star of the night was the lobster bomb. Imagine a rich, creamy lobster bisque poured inside a homemade sourdough bread bowl. The bread was crispy on the outside, soft and moist on the inside, and the bisque itself was nothing short of decadent silky, flavorful, and loaded with big chunks of lobster both inside and on top. Truly unforgettable. The atmosphere inside Kelly's Landing has a welcoming dive-style charm, and the staff were extremely friendly and attentive. Between the daily specials and the incredible quality of the food, this is hands-down some of the best seafood I've had in a long time. Highly recommend giving them a try you won't be disappointed! read more

What a treasure! We came two nights in a row; from the service and graciousness of all the staff and then the food! First night we sat at the bar with Kristine (hoping that is her name, she was lovely and so on it) enjoyed the soup of the day; Lobster bisque and wished we had selected the Lobstah Bomb once we tasted the luxuriously delicious bisque. We enjoyed a crab cake next, which was essentially all crab, unbelievably tender and a crisp on the outside. We ended our first night with the cracked conch, which was better than what we enjoyed when visiting Tortola. Then on the 2nd night; we started with a 1/2 carafe of wine again for me and a hazy IPA for my hubby, enjoy yourself! A pint of clam strips, yes please, so crisp, accompanied by tartar sauce and our bartender, Jake, brought us lemons and cocktail sauce. We then ordered the daily special, to share, a full rack of ribs. They came out so tender and sauces perfectly with our side of French fries. We highly recommend, whether you are local or passing through! Oh and side note if you love Boston the decor is up your alley! And while no reservations are taken the staff is on it and you can obviously eat at the bar! read more

Daily specials and a great spot for some lobstah make this a hidden gem. They were out of lemonade and baked potatoes on this particular night, but understandably so bc they are beloved by many throughout the day.

Kelley's Landing is a classic yet one of a kind seafood restaurant in Fort Lauderdale. It's casual vibes, fantastic service, and great food. We got the stuffed quahogs to share which came out stealing hot and were delicious. As my main dish I got the fishwich sandwich which is lightly breaded and fried Boston scrod, with a side of fries. It was a fantastic fish sandwich and the tartar sauce complemented the buttery white fish well.

This restaurant was recommended to me by two of my clients. I'm glad I decided to give it a try. I went on a Tuesday, when they have their lobster specials. I got the Triple Maine Tails w/ steamed broccoli, onion rings and New England Clam Chowder. That clam chowder was the best I've had in YEARS. The lobster was delicious and the onion rings were great. But the DESSERT was next level. I ordered the Ghiradelli Brownie with Ice Cream. It was divine. Traci was my server and she was great. The ambiance is pretty cool. There's ample outdoor seating as well as indoor. On a beautiful day, I say get an outdoor seat. The outdoor area is kind of narrow, so I think it might be a challenge if you are coming with a big group. But for small groups, it should be just fine. I also saw a booth in the back of the outdoor seating. I heard that the place gets pretty crowded, especially in the evening. I was there in the early afternoon. It was busy, but not crowded. It's pretty close to Port Everglades and FLL, so if you have a long layover, you can grab a bite to eat here. I definitely recommend this spot. read more
