    Outside
    Paul H.

    Hidden gem in Hollywood. This tiny burger place is located on US1. Many establishments went out of business in this location but this owner seems to be doing fine. And now I know why. I had the double smash burger with fries. Fries were so so I saw him adding spices and it definitely gave the burger a fine taste and different. They have outside tables to eat and there were quite a few people this evening looks like they are there to stay. I'm glad.

    Mostly outside seating and 4 seats inside. I was visiting from out of town and asked the chef for a smash burger, no veggies, extra onions, and smash sauce. Boy did he do more than deliver!!! This is easily one of the best burgers in America. Hands down. Very old school and homemade good food. The service is amazing and is just one older guy who cooks all of the food and manages the restaurant. Everything is homemade too. The ambiance was great as well and so homey. Really good for just a few friends sitting around eating some good greasy food.

    The food here is a must try!! Excellent and efficient service, and a cozy atmosphere to come solo or with a group. Everything is definitely made with love, he runs the joint alone so you know it's good

    Delicious perfection!

    The food was great and simple, tasted amazing, and the fries were perfectly crispy! The service was great! Plus they had apple juice! Let's gooo! It's small but the outside seat was perfect.

    Cute place for takeout, 4 stools for eat in or outside tables.

When my food arrived, I cut the sandwich in half and was honestly surprised by what I saw. The piece of fish was so small that it covered only approximately half of the bun. I asked the bartender whether the portion was really 4 ounces, and she confirmed that it was. I explained that the portion seemed unusually small for a sandwich and, in my opinion, would have been more appropriate for a slider. To her credit, she checked with the manager, who also confirmed that 4 ounces was the lunch portion for the Mahi sandwich. My concern is not that I expected an oversized portion. It is that the portion of fish was so small that I essentially received a bun sandwich rather than a Mahi sandwich. In fact, I normally eat only half of a sandwich bun, yet in this case, the full sandwich contained so little fish that the fish itself barely covered half of the bun. I understand that restaurants have portion standards and that the 4-ounce portion may technically be correct. However, there is a significant difference between meeting a stated portion weight and providing a sandwich that is reasonably proportioned to its bun. I was genuinely disappointed because I expected a Mahi sandwich and instead felt that I had essentially paid for a bun with a very small piece of fish inside. I wanted to bring this to your attention because, from a customer's perspective, the presentation and proportion of the sandwich were extremely disappointing. Just sad.

    I've been to Earls a few times before for both happy hour and dinner, but this was my first time…read moretrying their Dine Out menu and everything was delicious. Started with the ribs, which were sweet with just a little bit of spice. For my main, I had the spicy Calabrian pasta with chorizo sausage. The pasta was cooked perfectly al dente and had just enough of a kick without being too spicy. I finished with the sticky toffee chocolate pudding for dessert, which was really good and definitely a great way to end the meal. I really enjoyed the Dine Out menu because it gives you a chance to try and sample several different items instead of just ordering one or two things. It was $45 for dinner for the entire 3 course. Everything I had was very good and the service was great. Highly recommend giving it a try!

    Truly enjoyed our afternoon at Earls. This was our first visit and there will definitely be more…read more To start, our server who was a lovely young lady, was so friendly, gave great recommendations and was a pleasure to talk to. The restaurant is very nicely decorated and has an upscale appearance and casual vibe. We enjoyed both the food and the drinks. To drink I had the guava crush and my wife had the guava margarita. Both were so good. Great flavor....... For our late lunch, I had the Tuscan grill Salmon and my wife had the Nashville, hot chicken sandwich. My dish was outstanding. The salmon was cooked perfectly and has the perfect crust on the outside. The bed of gnocchi's in the sauce was spot on and the flavor profile was perfect. This is the reason I'm only giving a 4 star review and not 5. My wife sandwich. The presentation was very nice. The flavor was very good. The downside was that it was a smaller piece of chicken thigh meat which did have a very heavy breading layer. Because the thigh meat was kinda small it was definitely overcooked and led the meat being a little dry and tough. Regardless we enjoyed the restaurant and definitely will return.

    Had the most beautiful night at the Boatyard!…read more My best friend and I are in town for a concert tomorrow evening, but could not leave Ft. Lauderdale without checking out a local upscale restaurant. We headed over to the Boatyard, and had such a great evening! We had a reservation for 7:45, but came a little earlier, and were able to get sat around 7:20! We originally requested patio seating due to the beautiful view of the water, but due to South Florida weather, we decided a seat indoors would ultimately be best. Our server Juan provided us with great service! He was very kind, and made sure the dirty martini i ordered, was in fact FILTHY! We ordered the parmesan fries and Brussels sprouts as an appetizer, and they came out hot and fresh. Our party of four also shared the ceviche which was incredibly flavorful and decorated to perfection!! The highlight of the night was my center cut filet cooked medium, with the most PERFECT chimichurri sauce. My family makes fresh chimichurri, so it's safe to say I am not always easily impressed, but this was one of the best ones I've ever tried!! We left the restaurant full and satisfied. Because the weather cleared up nicely, we were able to get some nice pictures outside by the water! 10/10 night! Pro tip: Valet parking is only $10, and parking was so difficult to find on our own. It was also raining, so this worked out perfectly! Valet staff is incredibly kind as well.

Food was decent but a little bit too sweet for both our entrée and the appetizer tacos. A lot of sweet sauces that we definitely didn't enjoy. The appetizer was fresh tuna in cute little taco shells. We tried the clam chowder and it was out of this world delicious!!! I am a clam chowder snob so I know!! We shared an entrée. Shoyu glazed Sea Bass. Way overly sweet. I actually didn't even finish this plate. My whiskey Creek cocktail was overly sweet as well. The next one I had, I asked her to ease up on the simple syrup. Much better the second time around. My dinner mate had the high seas cocktail and said it was good. Service was on point and our waitress was very friendly.

Yesterday I had a fried fish sandwich with crispy sweet potato fries and my husband had salmon in Romesco sauce on a bed of haricot vert and finished with bits of fennel on top. From the happy hour menu (3 p.m. - 6 p.m.), one of our friends had tempura shrimp, one had steak on skewers, and another had large shrimp in a beautiful sauce on toasted bread. We had chips and guacamole and shrimp dishes on the table and they were scraped clean! The food was so good that no one took leftovers because we ate everything! The chairs and bench seats are super comfy so if you're like our group, you're going to want to stay for a while. We kept moving around to talk with others in our group because it was like being in someone's house. The bartender and server were excellent. Nicole, our bartender, made a coffee martini that was better than what my friend expected. She realized that other bars served it wrong! I ordered Don Julio 1942 and they had it. My husband loved his pinot noir and another friend loved her fresh strawberry and mint drink so much that she ordered another! The head on my friend's beer was proper and that was nice. Everyone loved the drinks. Our server, Timiya was stealth. She took orders and even took pics for us with such quietness that the energy at our table was unbroken. As the person who suggested Burton's, I loved that I didn't have to worry about anything. Stephen Fithian, the manager, is really focused on making sure everything is smooth. Nothing gets past him, and judging from the professionalism of the servers and runners, that focus is on every level. Everyone at our table got the right drinks/food. We were welcome to enjoy ourselves - the server let us sit for a couple of hours before presenting the bills. I could not ask for anything more. We had such a great time that, while in the restaurant, my friends asked me to arrange another happy hour at Burtons. Will do!

Making an online reservation was effortless, and we were seated promptly, so our visit started off on a positive note. Unfortunately, the rest of the experience was underwhelming. Our server was friendly, but the service overall was very slow. It took quite a while for him to check back with us, and he wasn't very familiar with the menu. We had to remind him of the side options that came with our meals, which was surprising. While he was pleasant, the level of service just wasn't what we expected. The food was average and didn't really stand out. We all ordered the three-course special. We started with the tortilla soup and the chili, but both arrived only lukewarm, which was disappointing. For the entrées, my steak was tough, not very tender, and also wasn't served hot. The mashed potatoes were actually the highlight of my plate--they were flavorful and well prepared. The ribs were tender. The salmon entrée was fine, but nothing particularly memorable. The restaurant wasn't busy during our visit, which made the slow service and long wait for our food even more surprising. We also noticed other tables that had been waiting even longer than we had, with meals taking an unusually long time to come out. Overall, this just wasn't the birthday dinner experience we were hoping for. While the staff was courteous, the slow service and average food make it unlikely that we'll return. Hopefully they're able to improve, because the restaurant has potential, but unfortunately this visit missed the mark for us.
