The original Rustic Inn Fort Lauderdale crabhouse began as a roadhouse saloon. As time went by, our hole-in-the-wall Ft Lauderdale crabhouse grew up, keeping with the demand for steamed crabs, seafood, linguini with homemade sauces and other popular dishe

They don't take reservations but we must have got there at a good time because it was not a long wait. There was four of us in total. We waited at the bar for maybe 10 minutes before we were seated outside at the patio. Outside was ok, not a grand view but it is nice to be outside by the water.Our sever was bizarre but nice.We started off with the baked clams. Disappointed that it was overstuffed with breading and I believe it said the breading had bacon which I did not see. We ordered 2 of them and got 12 in total.We all drank pina coladas which were tasty and had just the right enough alcohol. Only my aunt complained about her drink saying she wish it were creamier but again they were fine. Drinks are reasonable priced- think was $12 My aunt and I both had the skippers platter. We both chose the stuffed shrimp; stuffing was crabmeat and I think breadcrumbs. The shrimp was delicious and huge. The steak a good portion but definitely needed seasoning. The dish came with buttered parsley potatoes and they were lacking much flavor. I did not enjoy the potatoes not steamed veggies and I do love to eat veggies but the food in general could use some seasoning. It's like the kitchen did not have a season rack back there. Also, there aren't too many good sides to choose from in general. My mom has the stuffed lobster tail. She was content but shared she did not her much lobster. My sister originally ordered the artic crab legs which were on a special they had just made that day. I heard on the mic that they had 86'ed the crabs and mentioned it to the sever. He reported he thinks his order is fine because his number was not called over the mic. He reported he would go check. Well he never went to check right away And came back apologizing saying he just now checked and I was right they do not have any more of those crab legs left. My sister chose a different set of crab legs and she really enjoyed them. I might return since my sister is a big crab lover but the food could definitely be tastier

We had heard nothing but good things about Sonnyâs so we had to visit. It was worth the 25 minute ride from A1a in Lauderdale to get here. These are Philadelphia worthy cheesesteaks. The meatball sub was good too. We will make this a habit each time we visit the area.
8. Council Oak Steak and Seafood

I was taken here by a client. Casino restaurants normally strike a bit of a warning note with me, but the client said the steaks here are âlife changingâ. Hmm, I thought.Starters - chop salad, crab, shrimp - all very good. Not amazing, but very good. Others enjoyed the oysters, but I donât eat oysters (a friend spent too long in hospital after eating one, but thatâs another story). But the council oak bacon - wow - I could just eat that all night, on its own, nothing else. And Iâm a Brit, given the slightest excuse Iâll explain at length why Americans donât understand bacon. This was superb.Then the steaks. Wagyu New York strips. I asked for mine rare and thatâs how it came. The menu doesnât say what they cost and I wasnât paying, but I suspect itâs a lot. Whatever it was, it was worth it. Iâve never eaten a steak that came close. I suddenly believe all those bizarre stories about how the cattle are raised. Melt in the mouth? Yeah, and then some. Words fail me. It was wonderful. Desserts were superfluous but I the client ordered them so I tasted them and they were nice. Iâm not really a desserts person though.We had wine as well. A Pinot noir, and a Tuscan red. Again, I didnât choose them and I suspect they were expensive, but they were very good.Squinting across the table without being too obvious, it looked like the bill for 3 of us (we all had the Wagyu New York Strip) came to something over $800. Well yes, but for those steaks, I might even consider spending that much of my own money if I ever go back.WOW! Glad you enjoyed the steaks and the Wagyu. Looking forward to having you back.

After spending almost 7 days in Ft. Lauderdale eating all kinds of seafood, we decided to come here based on a recommendation. Needless to say we were not disappointed. We arrived right at 4:30 and Tom the bartender could not have been nicer and welcoming. Great to know that he was from my neck of the woods too! Ordered the surf and turf and it was perfect...I know I said I didn't wanted seafood but couldn't help it when I saw there were 2 lobster tails with the filet, LOL. The bar got quite busy but Tom had everything under control without forgetting to check on us at the same time. If we didn't have plans the next day, we would have came back and unfortunately we were leaving to go home the day after, therefore we will certainly be back the next time we visit.Thank you for joining us for dinner during your visit. We're happy you enjoyed your service experience with Tom so much -- we'll pass along your kind regards. Looking forward to the next time you're back in Fort Lauderdale!Best Regards, Michael, Manager

How do we do it? Captain Billy has figured out to be able to maintain best quality is to have your own fish house. Our fish house is located in the lower keys and we have 14 boats that fish the pristine turquoise waters of the gulf and the Atlantic ocean

Reviewed By Chestnutphil
My wife and I flew down to Ft Lauderdale for our anniversary and decided to stay at Margaritaville Hollywood. We went to JWB on a Friday evening and sat at the bar and had a great time. We had drinks and ordered some appetizers. Met some great people and the two bartenders were great. However we also went here for anniversary dinner on Sunday evening and had a completely different experience. The restaurant was not very busy at all and we were not given a very romantic table. We then waited about 15 minutes for a waiter to give us menus and take our drink order. Our steak took over an hour and our waiter indicated that they had a private party going on and he apologized. The steak was good but we felt it was overpriced. We then ordered desert and after waiting about 15 min we canceled it as we were put off by the service. When we got them check we were charged for items we did not even order. Once again the waiter apologized and knew we were annoyed but did nothing to remedy. For the price of the meal we would expect better service especially when they knew it was our anniversary. Thank you for the review. We appreciate your feedback and taking the time to explain the issues that occurred recently. Please feel free to email us at [email protected] and we will be happy to contact you.

They have karaoke with a live band! That was the best part! We didnât sing, but we watched â it was fun! Our server was amazing also â he was attentive and helpful! We were a party of 4 that had drinks & dinner. I am a vegan, and they had to create a salad for me; it was ok. I also had black beans which were cold when they arrived. We sat outside, which was nice. Interestingly, they have to turn the lights off on the outdoor areas because of turtle mating season until November, so we couldnât âseeâ too much. The outdoor seating area was nice from what we saw though. Our server recommended drinks and purées for the margaritas. He was spot on because the perfect margarita with guava was great! He worked with me to create a vegan meal. The 3 people I dined with had fish (2 had blackened fish tacos & the other a fish dish) and they said it was ok. I was told the blackened fish tacos were not very spicy. The karaoke & margaritas were worth the trip though!Thank you for the review! On Wednesdays our resort offers Rock star Karaoke at Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville Restaurant and we are thrilled you were able to experience the fun environment that comes with the band. We hope to see you again soon!
