Pretty good menu. Had the gator bites, conch fritters and nachos. They were all pretty good . We were here during spring break so took that into consideration. Service was pretty good. Our sever was nice and helpful with drink selection. We had a few of their frozen drinks which were pretty good. The larger size is a much better deal. We sat at a table outside the main restaurant, but the main bar area was cool. read more

We had such a great experience at Lulu's Bait Shack! We stopped in for a late Friday lunch, and our waiter was absolutely the best -- fun, attentive, and just added to the whole vibe. The atmosphere was super chill as we sat overlooking the busy beach from their second-floor location. (Check out our social media page if you need help finding the entrance! @TurtleNestBungalow ) The food and drinks were fantastic -- exactly what you want from a classic Fort Lauderdale beach spot. It's also very close to Turtle Nest Bungalow, making it an easy go-to for guests looking for a relaxed but memorable meal. If you're looking for casual vibes, great food, beach views, and strong drinks, Lulu's is a must-visit and a true local favorite. Highly recommend! read more

Lulu's Bait Shack - Seafood Near Me - Fort Lauderdale, Florida

Oh boy. This restaurant seems to rely too much on it's very nice location with great views. We sat at a table with a perfect view of the ocean. It was breezy and slightly rainy which was perfect for me. We ordered beers with jello shots, for old time's sake.. I could not drink the jello shot out of the paper cup it came in. It was gross. The cup was almost falling apart. The beer was nice and cold. The conch fritter appetizer was so good. I loved them. Served crispy and hot. Delicious. I ordered a mahi sandwich and got a house salad instead of the fries. I recommend not getting the fries. I took two and they are not good. No flavor at all. My salad was ok. My mahi sandwich was just bad. Nothing exactly wrong with the fish, the coating was flavorless. I just took a few bites The other two seemed to like their Cuban sandwiches. Danny was our server. He is so, so nice. I would only come back for the conch fritters. For the cost, there are several better and even less expensive than this place. read more

Great, funky spot on the beach. Food much better than we expected. Quesadilla was better than I've had in a long time and you could tell the chicken fingers were made in the kitchen, not just taken out of the freezer. Our waiter Sam was great. read more

Found this restaurant in the mall complex by our beach towera Marriott hotel room. Loved the signage coming in. Very entertaining to read. We bee lined for the window seat to enjoy the he Atlantic ocean. The high top and open seating felt we were in a wind tunnel. Didn't mind. Marie was our waitress and greeted us kindly. She was professional, fun, and knowledgeable. We ordered the gator bites, a rum and coke, spicy watermelon margarita and the white peach sangria. Everything was delicious and came to the table quick. Great atmosphere, lots of TVs and good music. read more

The hand breaded mozzarella triangles were golden brown, crispy and served with a tasty marinara dipping sauce. The drinks were cold and refreshing. The service was ok. After our meal was served, we didn't see the waitress again until we asked for the check. The view of Fort Lauderdale beach with the waves breaking on the shore that we could observe from our table was relaxing. read more

Second stop on our unsanctioned Fort Lauderdale Strip Pub Crawl at the Beach Place which hosts an array of eateries, bars and beachy shops. All the big restaurant/bars here have unobstructed views of the beautiful Ft Laud beach - breathtakingly amazing, movie worthy. We enter and immediately thought, "This is a fun fun fun place". There were two tables of Beer Pong, darts and a Wall Hook Game. This would be a wild spring break location for college kids for sure. The decor was hardcore surf and beach theme and a large tiki hut style center bar and a back area smaller bar. Met with the bartender, Gabby, who explained the happy hour deals. She recommended the coveted frozen strawberry/pina colada for $8.00, which we happily wanted. She placed the drink in front of my wife, who quickly drooled, and stabbed a mini umbrella into the red cherry next to the pineapple wedge and the red/white oversized straw (the dang paper kind that gets soggy quick). This two flavored frozen drink was strong and sweet. You can add $5.00 for an extra floater shot but Gabby showed us the well liquor bottle and it was not a known brand so we skipped it. Sat across from the bar at a table with crazy views of the beach while sipping the drink and the sea breeze blowing my wife's hair into her face. We placed a few rounds of the Wall Hook Game which the wife won. The manager came over a few times to check on our happiness. The had a decent selection of Lulu Bait Shack shirts for sale in their kiosk. The men's bathroom was clean. read more

Loved it! I had the coconut shrimp and my husband had the fish and chips. Food was great! Service was great and the atmosphere was great! A nice lively place where it sounded like everyone was having a good time. Good place to go for food,drinks, and a good time read more

Hands-down, worst food in town! It took 50 minutes to get overcooked shrimp steam broccoli and rice - told the server I was starving and the one meal she recommended wouldn't fill a 10-year-old, came out with 9 baby shrimp 40/50 size we're supposed to be blacked -$: had zero seasoning on them, supposed to have a mango chutney- came with no sauce, supposed to have buttered broccoli, broccoli was undercooked and just steamed- no seasoning, worst meal I've ever had in Ft Lauderdale also cost $50 for that and one drink with zero alcohol in it! Horrible service, terrible food - only positive was the view which I had to endure screaming kids the whole time- because they were also waiting an hour for their fried shrimp and fries!! read more

It started out not great. They sat us right away not very busy took 20 minutes for someone to take drink order. After that service was fine. Had conch fritters and shrimp tacos. Drinks were very good. And good music. read more

Walked up the stairs to the second floor of Beach Place at the Fort Lauderdale beach. A cool ocean breeze was blowing my hair all over the place. Spoke with the bartender and ordered a delish strawberry pina colada for $8 during happy hour. Brought my drink to a side table overlooking the beautiful beach and ocean. The decorations were a fun surf theme. It was not busy at all but will return at night to check it out. read more

If you're in the area, Lulu's Bait Shack is an absolute must. I ended up going every single day during my week-long trip--and yes, I even bought a shirt to remember it! The Baja shrimp tacos are seriously some of the best I've ever had--fresh, flavorful, and perfectly done. The drinks were just as impressive: I tried several different ones over the week and didn't have a single complaint. The view is unbeatable. Located right on the beach a couple of stories up, you get an incredible ocean view while enjoying your food and drinks. The vibe is fun and relaxed, and the service was consistently great throughout the week. Great view, amazing food, and friendly service--what more could you ask for? read more

Good: The food, the views, ease of getting a table Bad: service, prices are touristy My friend and I checked into our condo and found Lulu's for lunch with a great view of the beach. We were immediately seated at 1:30pm on a Saturday in Feb. We each ordered frozen drinks...they have many to choose from...but they are about $15 each! The food runs about $20/entree for basic pub food. My chicken fingers were actually really good...light breading...tasted freshly made. My friend got fried shrimp and said it was the best she's ever had. She enjoyed the light breading and again, it tasted freshly made. We asked for a table overlooking the beach and the views were great! Our waiter was not the brightest...didn't bring us napkins, didn't bring us silverware, couldn't answer any questions about the area. Our bill was about $80 plus tip. Overall would definitely recommend for pub type food. read more

After a day in the everglades we were looking for a quick meal once we got back to the hotel so checked out Lulu's. I started with a margarita and it was definitely premade and poured over ice, so many places are doing this in FLL. We had planned on getting a starter to share and then a main and decided on the loaded fries. They were ok with cheese sauce, bacon, and green onions. After we finished them we decided that we really didn't need to order any more food and asked for the check. read more

This was a fun surprise on our quick trip to Ft. Lauderdale. We had a couple of mixed drinks that were fine and since we were walking from the hotel we decided to get the Fishbowl margarita. The food is fun, the Nachos were better than expected with good seasoning on the protein and the cheese sticks were awesome with a great coating a perfectly fried. Our service was friendly and somewhat efficient. My 4th star is going for location. Easy walking from many hotels and the view of all the cars on the A1A is amazing! Stop in and have a beer and look at the crazy that is on the beach. read more

Absolutely love Lulu's, Theresa is the best bartender I've had in long time and it's a great place to watch football I went three days in a row over thanksgiving. The Nachos and the Mozzarella sticks were awesome, but again Theresa and her outgoing personality make you feel like a regular! read more

First & foremost- yes this is in tourism central. We usually end up in the area when family is in town for lunch after the "beach day." That stated, the shrimp tacos and Mahi sandwich are always pretty good. The staff is nice and we keep going back every spring break and thanksgiving visits from our mother family. So this time, sister ordered the burger and, WOW, it was really good! It was two patties that were perfectly charred and you could taste that open flame. Is it a destination place for locals? Not (as in a hard no for me) but I will be back over spring break and will order my very own burger vs. tasting hers! Side notes- mom enjoyed the Thai salad and neice always gets the chicken Cesar. Just get the dressing on the side and they are heavy handed! Then there is the view...! read more

I love the open air concept, and having such a great view while having dinner. We ordered the Gator bites to start, and they were fantastic. For our meal we had the coconut shrimp and Caesar salad. It was one of the BEST Caesar salads I have ever had. I loved the dressing as it had a bit of a peppercorn taste to it. A great twist on a classic staple. We ordered many drinks, and the Hurricane was great. Not overly sweet. For sure will come back when in town! A great experience with our server Max. She was great. read more

Drinks, food, and service was great! Enjoyed people watching from the balcony. Great time by all. Would do it again.

The service was great. Our drinks were never empty and the server was funny and engaging. The food wasn't. The fish and shrimp were both over-cooked and rubber tasting. Not really worth the price for the food. read more

I have been coming here for years! I love this place. It's on the second story of Beach Place which means they have an unobstructed, awesome view of the ocean. Super casual atmosphere, great to pop in if you're in need of a snack and cold bevy after the beach. My favorite is their yummy fish dip or peel and eat shrimp! Service is always good, but Sergio was excellent. Friendly, well poured drinks and good service. Will be back soon read more

Service is 5 stars Food is 5 stars Ambiance is typical "shack" style, but there's no AC! Thus, the 4 stars instead of 5. The restaurant is OPEN! There's no AC, only fans. We had the hostess seat us in the "coolest" seats in the place. It was under a big fan, but we were still sweating just sitting there! There's a heat advisory here, so... Our waiter, Christian, was very nice, friendly, helpful, and patient. The food was surprisingly great! We ordered a "trio" as an appetizer. It came with a ton of tortilla chips and a side of salsa, guacamole and queso. For our meals we both ordered the fish tacos, blackened, with a side a sweet potato fries. The fries are seasoned with sugar and cinnamon. The prices are reasonable. Our bill was $70 before tip. I'll definitely return. read more

Decided to update this review to include other items I tried. I visited the second time for dinner and I had the fried pickles (if you like pickles you have to give these a try) and the Thai crunch salad. Once again everything was freshly prepared and tasted great. The service at Lulu's is impressive...received all the attention I needed. Oh and the beach view is a bonus. read more

We came here on a Sunday after laying out on the beach. We were seated immediately and had a great view of beach and ocean. I enjoyed sitting right by the water because it allowed me to people-watch, which is always fun! Our server greeted us promptly and provided us with water. The menu was easy to read but the quantity felt limited. We ordered the "Three Amigos" appetizer which was chips with guacamole, salsa, and queso. I loved the salsa but the guacamole was a bit on the saltier side. For our entrees we had the Crispy Chicken Sandwich and Fried Shrimp. The food was good but it didn't blow me away. This is a casual spot so expect casual food. I also had the Coconut Refresher mocktail which was a bit too sweet for my liking. The star of the show was the Swamp Water- the perfect balance of sour and sweet, especially if you like lemonade. The stars are mainly for service, everyone was friendly and attentive. The food was average (probably previously frozen), nothing special. This place is good for a quick casual bite. read more

Tourists from Nebraska, we stayed at the Marriott and Lulus is just off the elevator, nice and convenient ;). Views of the ocean can't be beat here! It's nice to watch the fancy cars drive A1A too! Watermelon tequila drink with tahin rim was addicting, I think I had 15 during our trip! We were huge fans of the conch fritters. We literally had them daily. Fyi they are spicy as hell which we love and the sauce was super yummy too. One bartender gave me a big ol shot on my birthday! read more

Love coming here with my out of town friends & family for their awesome drinks and south Florida centered menu. A staple to the beach place plaza, Lulu's drinks are a must as you can choose from their frozen drinks, on-tap & to-order cocktails as well as choosing a souvenir cup to take home with you like their famous fishbowl that's enough for 2-3 people. Parking is available in the adjacent garage for I believe $20 for the whole day. The plaza is right across from the beach so you get a beautiful view. We were able to find seating at the bar as we came on a Wednesday afternoon and were greeted right away by our bartender. We shared the fish dip & coconut shrimp platter (my favorite) and I tried 'The Local' drink, my friend had a classic margarita. Everything was delicious even down to the fries. This place can get pretty crazy during season but is always a good time. read more

I ate here twice while staying on Fort Lauderdale Beach. The restaurant is open air and located on the second floor across the street from the beach. There's an excellent view of the beach. On the first visit we had the Blackjack Chicken sandwich and fish tacos. Both entrees came with a generous portion of French fries. Both entrees were decent. I had a Margherita to drink because their beer tap was not working. Service was pleasant and delivered quickly. On the second visit I had a Cuban sandwich to go. It also was good and prepared very quickly while I waited. read more

So my husband and I went here for dinner on recommendation from a local. The ambiance is awesome right on the water. Our server Kevin was excellent very attentive. We ordered Gator Bites, they are delicious and highly recommend. For entrees we ordered the Shrimp Tacos and Coconut Shrimp, we were very pleased with presentation. The coconut shrimp were over cooked and the chili fries were alright not what my husband was expecting. We both liked the shrimp tacos. They do have a powerful kick but are very flavorful and I ordered side Caesar it was okay as well. We did not have drinks. read more
