First, the current, stinky elephant in the room. The stinky seaweed is still on the shore, but with the breeze coming from the ocean, you can't smell it even a little bit inside OR on the outside deck. Otherwise, I couldn't have eaten there. Food was amazing, service was good, and the breeze made the weather seem comfortable, even though the "feels like" temperature was 105 degrees today! The portions were very large, so if you're even close to an average eater, you could definitely split a meal. And the prices, especially considering the portions, weren't bad at all! I had the snapper française, and my husband had the jerk chicken sandwich with a side salad, which our server did advise us was an up charge. The snapper was pan-fried and served over spaghetti with a light lemon-caper sauce. This mild, white fish was perfectly cooked with lots of flavor. My husband was also impressed with the flavor and portion of his meal. This will definitely be on our short list of places to visit while in the area! read more

Food quality has dropped. Worst Club Sandwich ever! See pic. Can't beat the outside seating,and the ocean views!! But there is crappie all over the floors, a napkin, plastic sauce container... it's midday not too many tables, but no one can bend over to pick up the trash. Sad because it's a Multimillion dollar location! read more

Quarterdeck Restaurants - Club Sandwich, on hard white bread as the only option, poor quality turkey, not much meat. Not worth the money - Seafood Near Me - Dania Beach, Florida

Came here on a Monday midday to pass some time before taking a friend to the airport. I love this location due to the view. Our server was friendly and attentive. I had the stone crab chowder and it was delicious! Highly recommended. My friend didn't really enjoy her buffalo shrimp. She mentioned the breading had a strange taste. I love this place and will continue to come back. It seems like the menu was shortened since we last visited, but other than that everything seems consistent. read more

Full disclosure - I typically only come here for steamer clams, garlic bread, stone crab chowder and a cocktail or three. Ambiance is perfection, said items above never disappoint, and it's my happy place whenever getting back to Dania. Don't skip the bread btw - those clams are sitting in a bunch of white wine and garlic clam juice gold. You'll thank me later ;) read more

This was my second time visiting this restaurant. Its located above a pier, with both indoor and outdoor seating. My first visit, we sat outside with a great view of the pier and beach. I had the stone crab chowder, which was good and a Ceasar salad, also pretty good. My second time I had the shrimp fajitas. The shrimp arrived on a sizzling plate with sauteed peppers and onions. Served on a separate tray was shredded cheese & lettuce. The tray also had two small containers of pico de gallo, sour cream and 3 warmed fajita wraps. The fajitas were good and so was the service. I think this place is best if you're looking for the beachside experience at a reasonable cost. read more

Came here with 4 adults, one toddler, two 12/14 month olds. What I liked most was our server saw we had kids and put in their order asap and came quickly !! The food was yummy, service was good and altho I needed my drink to be reblended they fixed the problem right away with an apology. Only giving 4 stars because when we walked in there was no hostess and there were people waiting ahead of us. Af first i thought they were closed but didn't realize all the good seats were in the back. read more

For some people Disney is the happiest place on earth but not me...it's THE QUARTERDECK! Maybe it's the nostalgia, having come here every year since I was a kid. Maybe it's the view, or the beach cocktails and seafood. Either way I will always come back.

The million dollar view of the ocean and the Dania Beach pier is why I come here. I have never hung out on the beach here but have eaten here several times. The fish tacos are excellent, but really enjoy just having a cocktail or beer on the patio bar and feel the ocean breeze. Certain times a year it will be very windy so even though it's hot out bring a light jacket. I sat inside on my first visit but it felt closed in and in need of an upgrade. Just a nice place to relax and watch cruise ships slowly glide by and the waves crash. read more

The chicken tacos were okay, with a big portion. I had to add hot sauce to make them taste better. The rice and beans were mixed together, and the coleslaw was dried out and tasteless. The service was nice and fast. read more

This is a cool little sports bar by the water, right next to the "beach" of Dania Beach. With both an inside dining room and terrace dining literally above the waves, you can enjoy lunch & dinner whether you're coming straight from the beach or a little dressier. It is also dog friendly! I stopped by the other night for a casual dinner, and the food was pretty good in a sports bar vibe. I ordered their half rack of ribs with a loaded, baked potato, and my dining companion ordered a mahi-mahi chop salad. Being sophisticated, I ordered a glass of Chardonnay. My ribs had a nice amount of meat on them and we're pretty well coated with sauce which everyone knows is what makes excellent barbecue. As far as my side, the baked potato was loaded with the fixings cheddar and a nice amount of bacon bits. Our server was pretty attentive and even tried to get us to order dessert as well but I passed on that. The view is 5 stars! Even if there's a drizzle outside, try to get patio seating. There are even a few TVs if you wanna catch the game instead. read more

The food and service were okay. Got our appetizer at the same time as our entree. We were put across from the kitchen doors. I wanted to leave the first 5 times someone went through those doors. My husband talked me into staying. It was just plain disgusting. Not just a little messy, but gross. And then to seat people 5' from it!! read more

Amazing service, one of the only places I've been to where they care about patrons with allergies. They separate their food completely from their shellfish/seafood- perfect for this with those allergies. Our server did awesome, the view was beautiful and the food was perfect! Cannot beat their meal deals- $6 for 1/2 rack of ribs with chips. read more

Food is a solid 3 stars but amazing servers... I ordered the steamers. They give you a healthy serving but the garlic is soo heavy that I'm sure the vampires retreated after getting a Whiff of my house later that night! I know my hubs said he smelled it allll night ha!! read more

Date of visit: December 8, 2025 If you want a dining experience you'll never forget, head to Quarterdeck Dania Beach -- where the mosquitoes enjoy a full-course meal on you before your food even hits the table. We were attacked so badly by no-see-ums that we literally had to abandon our dinner and run. I woke up today covered in painful, swollen bites... but according to the manager, these bugs don't "bite," they just "scratch." Oh wow. Amazing. Florida insects are apparently out here giving light exfoliation treatments, not drawing blood. And then there was the manager himself -- noticeably intoxicated, noticeably unprofessional, and noticeably annoyed that I dared interrupt whatever he was doing. His breath smelled so strongly of alcohol that I'm shocked the mosquitoes weren't attacking him instead. Instead of listening or apologizing, he confidently delivered his groundbreaking scientific theory about "scratching mosquitoes" and dismissed me like I was wasting his time. Imagine going to offer a helpful suggestion and getting a drunk TED Talk in return. I truly love this restaurant, but if this is the person representing management, upper leadership needs to step in immediately. The service, the customers, and the food deserve someone who is at least sober enough to know insects don't come with fingernails. Great food. Terrible management. Come prepared with bug spray -- and maybe breath mints for the staff. read more

Every thing was great, starting with the best server in the place , her name is Neilla , she is been working there , probably since they open, At less since we have been going there,for many years . To us, she is the best waitress in that place. This restaurant serve great food,have never have been disappointed, and they have the best location looking in the area , looking over the the ocean and great parking, , read more

You can sit outside & watch the ocean which is lovely, but the food I had was average. They do have a special for burgers on Monday that I know about which is what I had, not huge but not bad read more

Stopped into Quartedeck for a bite after being at Dania Beach -- this is your typical beach bar with a large menu and lots of good options to choose from. The best part about this place by far is the view, you can sit indoor or outdoor and have a great view of the beach from any angle. As for the food the faves flavor wise were the mahi fingers and the fajitas. All the other food was pretty basic, lobster mac was good flavor but lobster meat was a bit too chewy for me. They have a lot of good options from basic sandwiches to seafood options. I wish the poke bowl had more options for toppings but it got the job done. Overall, a good spot after the beach with a good environment, decent food and lots of options. Get the fajitas in my opinion, steak and shrimp were seasoned great! read more

It's definitely not fair for a bar and grill by a boardwalk at the beach is run by people who do not know how to do business. That boardwalk restaurant should be given to top tier people since it is such a rare area to have a restaurant. How is it that a restaurant in a hotspot area of Dania Beach closes their kitchen at 9:00pm when their official closing hours says 11:00pm? I would understand closing the kitchen 30 min early, but two hours before? Unacceptable. One star. read more

Quarterdeck has excellent water views while dining. The service is consistent. We were there today when it opened at 11:00 am. They brought our beverages right away. We both ordered the blackened mahi tacos. They come with a side of rice and beans. For me it's better than a side of coleslaw or fries. read more

This place is all about the VIEWS!! Gorgeous. Right on the pier at Dania beach. We really enjoy sitting outside as there's almost always a strong breeze. There's a bar inside and outside with standard seating both in and out too. I enjoyed my chicken Caesar wrap but the chicken was a bit chewy and the fries were cold. My husband loved his medium Buffalo chicken sandwich. We also dined with my parents who both enjoyed their meals. It's really a great place to take those from out of town but they also have a local crowd. Parking is super expensive - $5 an hour via paybyphone read more

I used to eat there every week for their specials. Haven't been lately since I moved. If you want something besides the special, be prepared to pay more than a few bucks for it. That's the one downside. read more

We loved this place! The location couldn't be better! Sitting over the ocean at Dania Beach right next to the Dania Beach Pier! The weather was beautiful after so many days of cloudiness and rain. Loved the beachy ambiance and open-air restaurant. We had the best seat in the house IMHO a window table with a fabulous view of the beach and ocean. Our server, Nikki, was such a delight. She has a sparkling personality with a lovely smile. She checked on us at the appropriate times and took very good care of us! We never lacked anything. Tip: There is a free cocktail coupon if you check in with YELP. I ordered the Sirloin Steak with mashed potatoes and asparagus ($24) , which was pretty good for the price. Cooked medium, as I requested. My daughter ordered the Full Rack ribs with seasoned Curly Fries ($24) and loved it. Our dinner hit the spot! The place was full with a wait line. We only had to wait 20 minutes for our fabulous table. It was worth it. There is a huge metered parking lot. It took about 10 minutes to find a spot. We look forward to coming back again. read more

1/1/2025- Always consistent always good service. Are you at the Asian salad which was enough to feed three people it came with a peanut dressing on the side that was in a small little ramekin plastic maybe 2 ounces 2 1/2 ounces not enough for a salad that size. Hubby had the Philly plus we had the wing mild. Bug meaty. So I haven't even got into my salad, I asked for more dressing. Ok. Well they charged for another little. Ramekin we get home and I look at the receipt and you get charged for that for$.50. The dressing was good , but it's the principle. I mean the salad was huge . Did they think that little first ramekin would cover that whole salad you'll see in the pictures. read more

We went on a rainy day so there wasn't a lot of people there. When we walked in, we were seated immediately by the window. I think all the seats are by the window so you get a good view. Our waitress, Erin, was very nice. I ordered a cocktail with blackberries in it (can't remember the name) and Erin told me it was sweet. I like sweet. When I got the drink, it was too sweet and I honestly didn't like it but Erin took it off my check. THANK GOD! I ordered a margarita instead and it was good. Then I ordered the steak for my entree and it was delicious! The cubed vegetables were the star of the show but the steak was cooked to perfection as well! I would eat here again for the steak alone. Considering the gray day, we had a good experience here. read more

First thing to note is how much parking is right by the restaurant. I love going to a place on the beach but I am usually stuck struggling to find parking. This is right at the beginning of the Dania Beach pier so we were able to grab a drink at the bar before walking the pier which was really nice! We came during happy hour time so it wasn't too busy and we were able to find a seat upstairs by the bar with the ocean view. It was really nice and relaxing! All the staff were nice and helpful. We only had a few drinks but all the food we saw come out to other tables looked and smelled really good. I would come back again for the location and to try the food! read more

I remember when this place first opened up everybody was so excited in the community but over the years it's become rundown, dirty birds crapping all over the place on the deck uninterested servers couldn't care less about delivering good service. The tacos were absolutely inedible. The burger was dry. The mahi sandwich was dry as well. The hostesses can certainly use some direction in looking a little professional with hair, pulled back, men should shave, and wear clean uniforms. I could really go on and on, but it starts from the bottom when you come up the stairs all the way through. It's just dirty, rundown and uninviting. I will never go back even though it's beautiful to sit out there on the deck, so I bring my out-of-town guest, but no more. read more

We took our grandchildren here for an early dinner. The biggest attraction is the location on the Dania Fishing Pier. We had no wait and asked for an indoor booth overlooking the beach so the boys could watch the surfers and wind surfers. The kids menu was perfect especially with the $6.99 price. Our server was young and friendly and did her best. We ordered steamer's which were very small but the serving size was 3 dozen for $20. They were really good and cooked in a flavorful broth. We also ordered a JB sushi roll and turkey club. Both were very good. The boys enjoyed their mini cheese burgers and grilled cheese sandwich. Next stop was a walk on the pier to see all the fishing activity. This was all part of the experience and highlighted the dining event. The boys had a great time so that made us happy too! There is metered parking at the pier along with a small charge to walk on the pier. The restaurant has indoor and outdoor seating as well as a bar. The menu had a lot of fish options as well as burgers and entrees. I thought the sushi was delish and would return for more. read more

The grill cheese sandwich for kids was good and so we're the sweet potato fries The service was on point and you can't ask for more ambiance wise read more

Came for a lunch on the beach and was disappointed with both service and the food. I ordered a burger and it was just alright, not up to par for restaurant quality. They gave me minimal toppings on the burger. The fries were not good. Soggy and old, def not freshly made. Service was so bad. Our waiter had me waiting like 15 minutes for a condiment even though it was not busy. After finishing our meal we were walking through the inside dining area and the wait staff were all sitting at the bar. Most likely to keep cool from the heat but that's where he'd been our whole dining time. The restaurant itself just doesn't seem to be kept nice either. They used to have a lunch special but they didn't anymore. Next time we'll find somewhere else when we want a lunch on the beach. read more

We love coming to Quarterdeck in Dania! This visit we had Neila as our server and she was very friendly and helpful, but we really haven't had a bad server there. Randy is another one of our favorites! When you go there, you have to park in the city parking lot ($5/hour, with 2 hour max). Parking is really expensive, and it's actually cheaper to park in South Beach, so that would be my only feedback to restaurant ownership is to speak to the city of Dania about their parking charges as it does limit the amount of visits we do there because the $10 parking is expensive once you add in food, drinks, and gratuity. For drinks, we usually order a bottle of wine for around $32, and we always start with side salads for $5. We usually order the burgers or chicken sandwiches that range in price between $15-20 and include a side of fries. All food is usually really good and fresh and views are outstanding of the ocean and beach in Dania. read more

It is located on the fishing pier on Dania Beach. The views are spectacular. American Bar atmosphere. Burgers, seafood, pasta, sushi, poke, tacos, they have it all. The onion rings are AMAZING! The clams were small and don't come with bread. Crab legs were good, but not great (it didn't seem very fresh). Maybe they were previously frozen? You pay for bread. Huge fountain beverages in their own reusable cup. Overall, it was a good experience and the food is good enough. Can't beat the view. Enjoy. read more

Great wings, great ribs. Sam was the perfect waitress and John the owner came by our table and talked to us. We will be back! So good!

Great food. Service could be better. Location is great, with amazing view of the water.

Came here after doing some kayaking at Whiskey Creek. What a wonderful, lively spot with absolutely breathtaking views! It was busy, but service was fast and friendly and the food came out surprisingly quickly! We started off with the pretzel sticks served with cheese and mustard. The pretzel sticks were crunchy on the outside, warm and fluffy on the inside and perfectly salted. For entrees I got the mahi mahi sandwich which was AMAZING. Fish was cooked beautifully, with fried pickles and peppers and the crispness of the fries lent itself to a very delightful lunch. My friend got the coconut shrimp which comes with sweet potato fries. The sweet potato fries weren't a huge hit as they were cold, but she said the coconut shrimp was the best she had ever had! Big juicy shrimp and a crispy exterior. The sauce that also comes with it was packed with flavor. The portion was also really big! About 10-12 jumbo shrimp. Another friend got the jambalaya spaghetti based on the overwhelming amount of yelp reviews, but she was a little underwhelmed. She wished there had been a bit more spice and a bit more flavor. But pasta and sausage were both cooked very nicely. Overall, if you're looking for a nice relaxing spot I'd recommend this place. Of course the food is a bit on the pricier side, and you do have to pay for parking, but I'd say its plenty worth it! read more
