    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Very clean looking, vibrant colors as you enter.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Good display is hard to see if you are a visual person.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I was greeted by the cashier and she took my order within minutes. It's the serving of the food that takes a while. I went some minutes after 5 pm. They don't seem to be organized with the distribution of the food. I watched customers come in and order and got their food before I did. The Sweet Chili Chicken was delicious. It's fried chicken tossed in sweet chili sauce upon order. The rice and peas tasted fresh and you could taste the coconut milk with each bite.

    Curry Goat

    Terrible! My first time going there and I ordered a medium curry goat/rice and peas drove 30min for pure bones and a soup like mess! I tried to call and let them know and the girl who answered the call basically said to me "curry goat has bones" like I'm dumb. The bones were not even attached to the meat just bits of meet and pure bones and gravy. It was like they didn't have enough and just gave me the bits and pieces left in a whole bunch of gravy and bones. Almost $20 for basically trash. The taste was ok at best. The macaroni salad that came on the side was subpar and too sweet. I wouldn't normally leave a review if I didn't enjoy a food but this was total disrespect and lack of accountability on their part.

Parking is a little tight but circle behind and around the adjacent block Burger and tater tots were both fantastic. BMC sauce was equally fantastic...sort of a spicy mustard sauce Ambience is very cool: moody dark fun bar inside. There are sidewalk tables and an attached ice cream shop. Service was also terrific. I think everyone who works at the place asked to be sure all was good

I ordered the double bmc smash burger and it came out hot and delicious! I loved the grilled onions on the burger and thought they have a fantastic sauce on the burgers. When getting a smash burger you have to get a double too! Now the one disappointing aspect was I ordered the fries and they definitely left a little to be desired as I wish you got some more with an order. Typically you can share a fry but this one was a little too small to share. I definitely will be back again soon as I want to try to the spicy smash burger and I hope it delivers as well as the bmc smash burger did! This is by far one of the better smash burger spots in broward so give it a try, it's worth the drive even if you aren't in Oakland park! Especially for the fact that parking in the area is free!

Finally I was going to take the burgers as is. The guy says sorry we can't make this burger to go. It's a burger place that has carry out but won't make a burger to go and won't let you make any modifications. Bad experience, don't recommend. Will never come back. I'd give 0 stars if I could. Thank you for the reply. I originally wanted to X-tudo but I was refused to substitute the bug without seeds, every burger that is taken to go is never as good as dining in. As a customer I could have been given the option. The person could have just said it's not as good but it's your choice. I was never offered a chance to speak with a manager, I was just told NO. As a customer it should be up to me what burger I want to order, the ability to modify it and dine in or out. If I pay for it then it shouldn't matter if I take it home or just throw it out. I was frustrated because anything I asked for was met with a No, and was not offered to speak to a manager. It was the attitude take it or leave it, so I did. If the person I spoke with offered to involve a manager or try to find a solution I would have not written a review. I never do but this time I took the time to write one, that should say something. Thank you for your reply

When we first pulled up, the parking lot was nearly empty, and inside there were only a few people scattered around. My companion went straight to the restroom, so I found a seat at the bar. The first thing we were told was that the kitchen was already closed even though it was only 9 PM which was a bit disappointing since I was hungry. Since it's an Irish pub, they mainly serve beer and wine, so I ordered a Guinness followed by a light beer. Despite the slow start, the night turned out to be unexpectedly enjoyable. We ended up meeting some wonderful people from Italy, Poland, and Turkey. It was especially nice connecting with the gentleman from Turkey, as I had traveled there last year, and we had a great conversation about that experience. The same went for the gentleman from Italy. It was refreshing and easy to talk to everyone. Even after closing, we stayed outside for a while continuing our conversations. The atmosphere inside the pub had a classic Irish feel, very reminiscent of my time in Ireland years ago, with signed celebrity photos decorating the walls adding to its charm. Also money from various countries. The lady behind the bar was extremely friendly and attentive throughout the night, constantly checking in and making sure we were taken care of. It's been years since I last visited, but after this experience, I'll definitely be going back soon.

We started with the focaccia bread, calamari, and onion rings/strings -- all excellent, and a great way to kick things off. For mains, my wife got the deep fried haddock sandwich on a gluten-free bun with a side of sweet potato fries, and she was thrilled she didn't have to sacrifice anything to eat gluten free here. I went with the Prime burger topped with truffle cheese and upgraded to the truffle parmesan fries, which were phenomenal. This was our first visit, and our server James made the whole experience even better -- attentive, knowledgeable about the GF menu, and made sure we felt taken care of the entire time. If you're gluten free or dining with someone who is, Burton's Grill should be at the top of your list. We'll absolutely be back.

    The Food We didn't hold back on the menu, and honestly,…read moreeverything hit the mark: * Breakfast Pizza: This was a standout. Perfectly thin, crispy crust topped with fluffy scrambled eggs, sausage, and fresh veggies. It's a great twist on a classic and very shareable. * Chicken and Waffles: The waffles were thick and airy with just the right amount of powdered sugar and butter. The chicken was crispy and seasoned well--definitely a soul-food win. * French Toast: If you have a sweet tooth, get this. It came topped with fresh berries and paired perfectly with their syrup. * Sides & Sips: The grits were creamy, and the cocktails I knocked about 6 old fashioned and the lemon drops were refreshing and well-made.

How does that make any sense? If there was no availability, why was I able to book a reservation in the first place? What made the situation even worse was how it was handled.

I was actually looking forward to eating here because I had a good experience at Matchbox in Washington, DC. Unfortunately, this visit completely changed my impression of the brand. After the way we were treated, I probably won't be back.
