    Great spot for brunch, lunch, or dinner. Great choice of libations, and menu items! Their pizzas are tasty, and their side salad was really good. On my recent visit, my friend and I sat at the outside portion of the bar. It was a lively area, and we enjoyed watching the football game. The bartenders were friendly and attentive.

    Went here on a date. What a GREAT SPOT. We sat outdoors in a quiet corner which was perfect for the occasion. Our waiter was incredibly attentive. And the owner came by to ask how everything was which means a lot. My meal was the eggplant meatballs (yes I know it's an app). I had no idea what to expect, but they were excellent!

    Updating my 1st review. Came for brunch with my ladies group. Rebecca greeted me & showed me to the area with our lovely tables. We were a group of 25. Service was excellent. Was told they are working on a new menu. I was extremely impressed with my breakfast bowl & I saw a lot of the other food coming out. Lobster Benedict was a special & the lady that ordered it, said it was delicious. Rebecca also helped some of my ladies with the parking app. As to pay by phone! This is going to be a regular rotation for brunch with my group!!! It was so much fun!!! Thank you Frank & staff!!!

    Saw this amazing art sculpture from the road and decided to check it out. Here is some information regarding it - The owner of The Foundry Grieco had known of Furnari's work for 10 years, and has been wanting a "Lunch" sculpture since day one of The Foundry. Now, Furnari has brought The Foundry a massive sculpture of a famous black-and-white photograph taken on Sept. 20, 1932. The image shows 11 ironworkers perched high above the bustling streets of New York City having a lunch break atop a steel beam on the 69th floor of the Rockefeller Center. The men sit casually, legs dangling into the void. Above them, the skeletal frame of the skyscraper rises, a testament to human ambition and ingenuity. Furnari is known for his sculptures that depict regular, hard-working people throughout history. Transporting his "Lunch" sculpture, he drove a truck 1,200 miles from New York to Pompano Beach. "It weighs a couple thousand pounds, no problem," said Furnari. "Passion and love is what really drove it, and it's currently on top of a truck because it shows that we're all free to move. I also did this because Frank (Grieco) is the man."

    Some friends and I were looking for a good lunch spot in the area and this place came to mind as I've heard some good things about it, so we decided to give it a try this past Sunday. The restaurant is in a great location, very clean and just a really good vibe. When we sat and started looking over the menu we were a little confused as when we were driving we checked out the website for the menu, but things were not the same once getting there. We asked the staff if there was another menu and they told us they couldn't give it to us until 3pm and unfortunately what we wanted to order wasn't actually available at the time we went, but that was never specified on the website. Nonetheless, we ordered our food, our wing appetizer came out, but we still hadn't received any silverware or napkins since we were seated so we had to ask for that. Wings were very good. When our main dishes came out everything looked very good. Once we started to eat, there was an agreeance that the brussel sprouts were lacking flavor aside from the glaze, but were very bland. The pesto chicken sandwich was also very underwhelming. I think with the confusion of the menu and the food, I was a little let down. I'm not sure if this was just an issue of getting the wrong things, but I would give this place another shot, maybe at a different time of day. This time it just didn't do it for me.

    Strawberry Mojito

    Our group's original destination was Houston's; but we were turned away. Fortunately, The Foundry was right across the street and accommodated us. I ordered a strawberry mojito that was presented nicely and packed a punch. The Bourbon BBQ Burger was very good as well. I requested medium well; but well-done (temperature it was served) is actually my usual. I took home half the large burger and fries. Others in the group enjoyed Margherita pizzas, Blackened Mahi Sandwich, steak sandwich, multiple glasses of Reisling wine and soft drinks. The hostess promptly greeted and escorted me to the table where my group was seated. Wait service was adequate, non-rushed, MIA at times, but that actually allowed time to catch up with acquaintances I'd not seen in many years. Another waiter happily served as photographer for our group. The prices are appropriate for the quality and quantity of the meal and service received. Another plus was an automatic gratuity based on group size was not assessed. I will definitely return to try other menu items, including dessert. I parked in a metered spot near the main entrance. Rest of my group parked north of the restaurant.

    We were looking at spots for a late lunch / early dinner after catching a musical nearby and so glad this is where we ended up! Industrial / steel foundry decor works well without being cartoonish or becoming the center of attention. Friendly and helpful staff were only too happy to take care of special orders. extra plates, and whatever else we needed. Cocktails were tasty, strong, and well priced. Spinach Dip Appetizer was yummy and came with freshly cooked pita that was somehow simultaneously puffy, crispy, and chewy. So good. Our party had a goat cheese salad, crispy mahi sandwich, and the sushi stack, and each of us was super pleased with our choices. No one had room for dessert so we left, full and happy. Be warned, the outdoors is a smoking section, and they allow cigars, so if you are sitting anywhere near the entrance, you will smell smoke!

    Wings all flats

    Excellent happy hour. They have $7 wine, shots and mojitos. We particularly enjoyed their cucumber mojitos and house Cabernet. I am very picky about my wines and I can tell you their wine passed the test. We sat at the bar for fast service. Our food took maybe 10 minutes to come out. Wings: 4/5 Fries: 2.5/5 (very thin and crunchy) Cucumber mojito: 5/5 Burger Sliders: 1.5/5 Overall, great experience. Great spot to eat at. Looking forward to trying more things on their menu.

    This restaurant is located in a plaza with paid parking via the Pay by Phone app. We sat outside on a busy Saturday night for dinner. Be warned it is located right next to a cigar bar so you have to be okay with smelling cigars if you choose to sit outside! The hostess was nice enough to give us this heads up as well. We started with a Grapefruit Basil Collins (too sweet for my taste) and a Hold My Beer lager. The lager was somewhat flat and odd-enough tasting to return. Went with an old fashioned instead of the beer which was also not great. We split a warm goat cheese salad as an appetizer. This salad was delicious! And the server was thoughtful enough to bring us the salad already split amongst plates knowing we were sharing it. For entrees we ordered the Foundry Burger with fries and the Brasied Short Ribs with polenta and green beans. Both of these meals were good. The polenta was my favorite part! Overall, a nice spot with good service and good food but not-so-great drinks.

    Sushi stack
    Sahar H.

    The Foundry never disappoints. I had the sushi stack, and it was absolutely delicious -- fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Every bite was perfectly balanced and clearly made with high-quality ingredients. The atmosphere is warm and stylish, making it a great spot for a relaxed night out or a special dinner. The service was attentive and friendly, which made the experience even better. Overall, great food, great ambiance, and a place I'm always happy to come back to.

    A lovely brunch and fun atmosphere. Our sever was so nice and attentive even when he was slammed busy. I enjoyed the French toast. The buns were a little stale for my liking. Bottomless mimosas and some ice cold lemon drop shots after were a nice way to finish off the meal. I enjoyed the decor here and def can't wait to come back.

    Jim A.

    Wow where do I start! I ordered a pick up meal two hamburgers. I get home there are no hamburger patties on the hamburgers. I called they say to come back and pick it up. And shocking shocking shocking they tried to give me two hamburger patties to go on the stale buns by now soggy stale buns and they wanted me to eat cold stale french fries and asparagus on my takeout order. This is absolutely insane I have never had any experience quite like this I will never go here ever again and I will tell everybody about my experience absolutely the worst I've ever had in Pompano Beach Friday afternoon Friday evening traffic is terrible.

    Are dogs allowed outside?

    I'm pretty sure as with most south Florida establishments

    Would this be a good place for a dinner party, celebrating a 25th birthday? We want fancy and yummy, but fun.?

    My experience wasn't the best. I wouldn't see it as a place that was fancy or fun. My husband and I were basically ignored. I would probably go to the promenade in Coconut Creek or possibly Mizner Park in Boca.

The interior has the beautiful ambiance of a high-end cigar lounge paired with an incredible bar. They have an enormous selection of great bourbons, whiskeys, and some truly phenomenal tequilas. There is also a great lounging area in the back with plenty of TVs--they had the March Madness games on while we were there, but I could easily see this being the go-to spot for Sunday football or just a place to relax any day of the week. We chose to sit outside, where the vibe felt like a perfect local hangout. We met some great people who mentioned they are regulars, which says a lot about the atmosphere. While we originally only planned to stop by for a drink or two before heading to dinner, we ended up staying much longer because we were having so much fun. A huge plus is their Happy Hour, which runs until 7 PM every day--at that point, why would we go anywhere else? I can't recall the bartenders' names, but they were all super friendly and accommodating. A few friends tried the specialty cocktails and said they were fantastic. We tried their feature shot per the bartenders recommendation, the "Hello Good Night." It was hands down the best shot I've ever had--I would honestly return just for that! They also had an extensive beer selection. I highly recommend this bar to anyone living in the area or just visiting. We will definitely be back!

The service is great, the drinks are good, and the weed products are even better. Joe is everything that makes up a fantastic bartender, he's been working there longer than I've been a customer. If you like a more standard bar vibe, Wednesday nights are happy hour where the drinks are half off. That's when it's the busiest. However, the atmosphere really shines when there's not a lot of people. It has low lighting, comfy couches and bar seating, chill music is played at a comfortable volume, and the bar has a smart tv. If you're looking for a break from sensory hell, to just go to a place to charge your phone and work on your computer, or to just unwind, I cannot recommend this place enough, especially on Monday/Tuesday nights.

Huge thanks to the incredible bartenders and servers -- Connor, Kassidi, Kortney, Daniel, Nigel, Leo, Megan, Vlad, and Annie -- who provided truly epic service all night long. The champagne was flowing, the signature EME Peach-Tini was a massive hit, and the food was phenomenal. The steak and potatoes were AMAZING... our guests definitely ate more than their fair share! With the stunning beachfront views and DJ Misha playing the perfect music to match the vibe, the entire evening felt magical.
