Came here craving some stone crab claws and was not disappointed at all. They were delicious as were the grilled oysters. I have to say this place is awesome. Great vibe great food. Great service. All around five stars. I will definitely be back. read more

My fiancé and I love papa's!!!! I'm giving a 4 (ideally for me a 4.5) Bc it's inconsistent at times. Normal shit like they get real busy and have a solid mix between drinkers and eaters and the staff gets in the weeds bad. Their adorableness usually makes up for it. But the food 9/10 is on point. I always describe it as Florida Classic & not so classic seafood and Japanese mix. Seafood is always fresh too. Never do I ever underestimate the oysters. They have an entire menu dedicated to sushi and my man dies for their hibachi fried rice...yum yum and bomb sauce . The wahoo bites are delish too! I love the shrimp burger. But don't go loving it too Bc sometimes they run out, k?awesome happy hour specials and a solid beer selection! Anyway it's clear we love it here. We just prefer to go on the weeknights when it's more our speed. Oh and live music...a lot!!!! read more

I always enjoy going to Papa's Raw Bar. They have live music which is always wonderful. Sometimes when you sit at the bar outside the service is chaotic. The food is excellent. My husband and I enjoy the hibachi grilled meals. The energy is always good also. People are happy there and patient. The prices went up but for the most part the value is good. read more

Great seafood and fantastic service. We ate outside where Chris was tending bar. Everything he suggested was amazing. Oysters were sweet and plump. The wahoo with taro chips were our starters. We will be back as we didn't get to try everything that caught our eyes and tastebuds. read more

Went there for the oysters in NovembeR. They were very small. In other restaurants, shuckers have thrown in a extra oyster or two to make up for that, but not here. Ordered the lobster lettuce wrap as an appy. Wasn't expecting it to be fried. Good, but not worth $9.00 and you only get one wrap with 3 very small pieces of lobster. Had the Sexy Mexican roll - delish. Server forgot to give us soy sauce. For dessert, we ordered key lime pie (I've tasted better) and some crazy banana concoction. It took 20 minutes to get that! When the bill came and it was$120, we were shocked! Then we realized that our server added on our neighbor's food. She sucked, but after the bill was fixed and we used the 10% off for checking in on Yelp, the total was 80 bucks - little much for a hole-in-the-wall. But that's Boca for you. Three stars for the sushi. Otherwise, meh. read more

Well sorry Papa's but sticking with this one star as we were in there the before Irma hit and see that the prisoners still have the keys to the prison as games go on from their employees. Just need to avoid certain ones because this is no way related to the food . But since a certain person didn't like this review they made it obvious and did not like the way I felt when I left. If that's the way you want to play it's on! It's back to Southport Rawbar for my family and I for now . Sorry for those who didn't make it through Irma so well. Hey gang this 1 star rating goes out to our Bearded server we had that one horrid evening. Food is great so no way is this directed at any of the other wonderful staff cooks servers etc. We had just ordered a bottle of wine and all of a sudden he put 3 glasses down like he was part of the family and proceeded to pour himself a glass. Really WTF!!! My father was ready to chop his hand off like"who is this guy" . Then we had to guard our glass so his un groomed beard wouldn't shed into our glass. But we this place! Anyway I will bring a surgical mask next time if we should be so lucky to have him wait on us again and make him wear it and tell him "hey guess what hotshot your buying ". This is Gloria signing out and thanks to everyone for checking in see you soon and remember Gloria's always watching out for you! read more

I only recently started eating sushi when a friend recommended this place. We had been several times to the adjoining restaurant Seafood World (same owner) and loved it so we thought what the heck let's try it out. When we first walked in we were greeted with smiles the place is decorated in such a way that you just want to sit down and stay a while. Now for the best part, the food the food is bright and beautiful I would say it's too pretty to eat but that would be just a crime. Our first night we had the crabby Joe roll the lobster bomb and the wahoo bites all three were incredible. Since that first visit two months ago we've been back five times and we've done take out 11 times if you love sushi and you love fresh food you got to try this place. read more

Not only is the food is fucking amazing, the staff is superb and makes the experience worthwhile for our support. We live in Lighthouse Point and are so appreciative of how much this family owned restaurant has become the LHP go to spot. We love everyone who is part of this establishment. Cassie and Troy.... the sweetest owners. Tiffany...our favorite server with the best smile. And Ricardo...one of LHPs finest, with the kindest demeanor with nothing mean to say. Thank you Papas for how much you've given to our community. Great food and great atmosphere. You can't beat it. read more

A wonderful find. All of the reviews are spot on. The best raw fish I have found in a long time. The place is always busy so since we live close we go during off hours so we can get a seat. The staff is super friendly! read more

Everything we ate was outstanding and very fresh! The conch salad was the best I've ever had. Lindsey was our server and very friendly and sweet. Oscar made our Queen Bee dragon roll and it was beyond fresh and delicious! And don't forget the Bimini bread. We will definitely be back! Thank you Papa's. read more

Been a local customer I get very disappointed on my last visit the waitress a giant joke and the food under average but the bill still very high for the quality of service and food. I will think twice before I go back . The waitress bring the potatoes and the veggie 15 minutes before she bring the fish OMG... read more

Tiffany, was a pleasure, super friendly, very attentive. We had a great time again at Papa's. Great job guys!!!!!!

Robin is the fish to my sushi!!! The food is always great and the crowd is always family!

Fantastic hidden gem! Had chargrilled oysters to start with jalepeno tuna ceviche followed by steak and chicken fried rice. Shared between two and plenty full. Highly recommend as a local hangout. The outside is unassuming but the inside is cooking up great food. Will be back. read more

Awesome experience! Rory had great suggests. Try the half clam chowder/conch chowder mix. It was great. Monday half price bottles of wine! read more

Fun Young Atmosphere, the fish is fresh, but overpriced considering there is no water view in this strip mall restaurant. The clams on the half shell were tiny, the soft shell crab sandwich was predictable. The Poke was very good, I'd order it again and the portion was generous. The burger was predictable. The locals only vibe is fun. read more

I don't know what else to say other than the fact I drag my boyfriend to this place at least three to four times a month... LOVE IT... foood is always on par! read more

The best fish tacos I've ever had. Everything here is great. What a gem. The crowd is fun and awesome the place manages to be packed without being suffocating. Everything on the menu is worth ordering , the fried shrimp taco was the best thing I've ever eaten. I've had almost all the apps , it's all great. Highly recommend their sushi rolls. Just make sure to get here early if you can. Otherwise you'll be waiting, which isn't too bad when you have live music outside. read more

Best hidden gem. We have not had 1 bad meal. All food is amazing and sushi is always fresh. Causal dining ! Great local spot read more

I was very disappointed with the food and service . The server had her mask below her nose ! The oysters were horrible and the conch dish was very cold . This place used to be amazing and not sure what happened lately . read more

Papa's is a local spot! && it's PACKED with locals! They have a great tuna and sashimi selection, as well as plenty of craft beers to choose from. :) Seating at tables or the bar. Parking is limited so try to go at non-rush hours. I highly recommend this joint. read more

Excellent food! Excellent service! Absolutely love the variety on the menu and the wide ranging drink options! Will definitely be back!

We stumbled upon this place after an event. Thank goodness we did! The atmosphere was lively, the service was prompt, and the food.....unique and savory!!! They have three kitchens, all preparing different foods. We were there on a Monday which featured half price bottles of wine and sake, and a discount off hibachi. They offer a wide variety of seafood, nothing average or run-of-the-mill. The menu will temp you to order even more than your heart desires! As far pricing, a little higher than standard. I highly suggest you eat here-you'll be more than glad you did! read more

This is our second visit and it gets better every time. The seafood is fresh and service is top notch. Everyone is friendly and up beat. It's a Tuesday night and they are packed. There is no secret here but great food and great service with a smile. Come in to see for yourself. read more

Love everything about papas. Their service, environment and of course their food!! I am there/getting their food to go bi-weekly. Love that you can buy from the fish market too. So glad I live so close to them! read more

Exceeded expectations. Knowledge waitstaff team. Great product selection. Friendly atmosphere.

We have not been here in awhile but we're craving raw oysters and craft beer. Chris was amazing! I can't say enough about him. He told about all the specials for the week especially the $1 oysters on Thursday. We came in at 10:20 and they closed at 11 and Chris was so accommodating and didn't make us feel like we had to rush. We both work in the industry so we understand when customers walk in late or near to closing. We love this place but will definitely be back after the amazing late night experience we had tonight. read more

This was an amazing place. Great food, great service, super fun and a hidden gem. Worth driving out of the way for!!

Can't go wrong. Staff , service and food are awesome

Papa's Raw Bar - This is where you want to be! - Seafood Near Me - Lighthouse Point, Florida

A little pricey but definitely worth it. We had the wahoo "ceviche" in the wahoo sauce (which was more of a wahoo poke) and it was amazing. Definitely get this dish. Wahoo is considered by many to be the ultimate raw fish, even better than yellowfin tuna. If you haven't tried it, Papa's is the perfect place to introduce yourself to this amazing fish. We also really loved the oysters. They were very fresh and perfectly shucked. Rating our food: Wahoo Ceviche 5/5 Smoked fish spread: 4/5 Oysters: 5/5 Wings: 3.5/5 The beer selection is, of course, incredible. They not only have way too many beers to choose from, they have some really great options. The ambiance is a little run down and divey, but I feel like that adds to the charm of the place. It makes you feel like you're dining in the Florida keys. The service was great. We had a young girl whose name I can not for the life of me remember. She recommended 3 great beers to us, was able to answer every question, and had great food recommendations as well. The other employees in the restaurant completely ignored us and made us feel like we did not exist. It was as if they tried really hard to not look in our direction. I'm pretty sure they hated us - maybe because we were the only people there who weren't regulars. That's fine though, because our server was outstanding. All-in-all I highly recommend Papa's Raw Bar. Aside from the generic name and slightly high prices, everything about this restaurant is perfect. Even the other guests are extremely friendly and add to the experience. An easy 5/5 stars. Will be back. read more
