This was a great surprise! We were in the area and decided to have dinner here! The customer service was outstanding, from being seated by our greeter to our server, Marcella. The menu was awesome with a great variety! We can't wait to come back with friends and try many other dishes. Every plate that came out looked yummy! The value was A++ Our dinner was a huge win, we had the grouper Rueben and the famous burger! We will come back and we definitely recommend Artur's. read more

This restaurant is delightful. The food is beyond delicious. Four of us had lunch there today: flatbread pizza, pierogies, burger, reuben sandwich. We were so pleased with the food, we will be having lunch there again in two days. The atmosphere is so pleasant, airy and roomy, and the service is perfect. I most hightly recommend this restaurant, which serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner read more

Howards in englewood has a pretty good breakfast. We waited 20mins for a table and 30 mins for food but they were busy and our waitress "Katelyn" was wonderful she was attentive and friendly she was taking care of a lot of tables. My eggs werent perfect (not enough yoke for my taste) but the benedict was enjoyable. My mother had the biscuits and gravy and just needed some extra gravy and it was very good. We will be back maybe on a weekday to try lunch. I would recommend Howards. read more

No more salad bar! "Due to waste" they said. It was the main reason we came here. We stopped in for lunch and didn't stay. Sad because this was a standard "go-to" lunch spot for us. read more

Ate there to see what it was like. Meal was not prepared as asked; specifically well-done. Meal, aside from that was average. Very overpriced and set back in the 60's. Can not recommend it. read more

We are visiting from Hawaii, our friend recommended meeting there , the service amazing , We had late lunch so my husband & I split the fish & chips & bucket of beer , Have to say fish was so good ! read more

Did breakfast at the local family owned restaurant. Met the owner as he was delivering food. Nice to see the owner making the business work well. Staff was friendly. If you're in a hurry this isn't the place to come. We waited about 10mins before we had a waitress come by and another 10mins for coffee. The food was delivered hot. Good size portion, not too big, just right for the inexpensive cost. Pretty standard food. read more

Well. Just returned from Arthur's. Turkey lousy. Stuffing like water. Scraps of turkey. One scoop mashers no bread. Just plain horrible looking plate of What looked like left overs. Wife had seafood plate. Taste ok. Not worth 32.00. Freind's both had turkey. Same lousey looking platter. Not worth 10.00 let alone 22.00. Food needs tune up. Nicole and owner always nice. Maybe one day try again. Place clean. Love to call it a good place to eat again. read more

Without a doubt Howard's serves the freshest, crispest salad in the area. Melting butter on the crusty rolls was a sumptuous addition. The perfectly cooked, tastiest, tender roast beef was out of this world. We rarely order roast beef, but it was so good we will never order it elsewhere. The house Cabernet Sauvignon completed our five star + meal beautifully. Ted and Elizabeth M read more

I need to update my review, my previous review was for the previous restaurant - Howard's at the same location. I don't think it's fair that that ended up on Artur's review. Menu is quite different from Howard's, service and food were both good, hence a 4 star. read more

Drinks were good. Food was horrible. Chucks of turkey not sliced. Cold and the stuffing was like loose grits no flavor.

Two couples had dinner tonight 2 polish sausage dinner 1 fish dinner 1 pork wings everything was awesome sat at bar and had dinner our bartender she was beyond fabulous made our experience so much fun drinks we're delicious definitely will be back and invite all our friends read more

First experience last night. Made 6pm reservation which was kept. The beer was cold as was the backed potato and the prime rib. The salad was old lettuce that should have been thrown away instead of served. The server had too many tables to maintain and keep up with. Probably the first and last time. It appeared the owner was making rounds but never stopped at any tables. Too expensive for the meal. read more

This was our first time to Howard's Restaurant and we were quickly greeted with smile and a little information after being asked if we had ever been here before. Very professional and pleasant. Our server was JJ and with a cute Boston accent took our orders and answering questions about the menu items. All the while giving her undivided attention to each of us as we ordered. I ordered the Ruben sandwich and my wife had the Howard's Philly Cheese Steak sandwich, both with sweet potato wedge fries. Both of us enjoyed our meals. Good ingredients and amounts. My Ruben sandwich had marbled rye, preference is dill rye or Russian rye, but still good. The restaurant decor is clean and nice open atmosphere. Salad bar has one side prepared salads and other side romaine and iceberg lettuce and a few toppings. Salad bar looked fresh and appetizing. Our visit was made even more memorable when our server JJ asked if there was anything else we would like, my brother in law said "... a million dollars would be nice ..." and JJ answered without hesitating "... if I find it I'll bring it right to you !!!". We thought it was a cute response but a moment later JJ shows up with a million dollar bill !!! Overall a good time and good food and great service. Thanks JJ. Oh, on the way out we went into the bar and noticed they have an ice bar for your drinks. Wow. read more

Early bird menu, is smaller portion which was still plenty. We got the chicken parmigiana and penne which was great. I had the salmon from the dinner menu, it was the BIGGEST piece of salmon I have ever received in a restaurant. Sweet potato fries were great as well. read more

Highly dissapointed. The taste didn't justify the higher prices. In fact the taste was bad. I got the Philly Steak sandwich, a soggy mess on a bun that was too small. The Garlic shrimp and scallops for $24 was just terrible. The scallops were edible but the shrimp and noodles were next to tasteless, I guess they ran out of garlic. The Cole Slaw was nasty in my opinion but different people like different kinds. My wife had the Rueben she said it was ok. We had Calamari as a appetizer, it wasn't the best I've had but it was good. I'm glad I didn't pay $32 for the Ribeye, judging by everything else I'm sure it wouldn't have been worth the price. We wont be coming back. It was our first and last visit. read more

My wife and I had dinner there tonight. It took over half an hour for the meal to come out. The "best in the area" crab cakes were less than mediocre. I couldn't taste the crab at all. The green beans and mashed potatoes were cold. We also had garlic butter shrimp and scallops over linguine. The scallops had no flavor whatsoever. Will not go back. read more

Pleasant dining room. Didn't have to wait more than 10 minutes at 5:45, but people after us had a longer wait. Menu isn't massive, but hits the high points of seafood. Enjoyed the sourdough bread that came as an appetizer. Prices were on the higher side, but not unexpected for a beach area dinner spot. Wait for food was a bit on the high side (45 minutes from being seated to being served). I ordered the blackened haddock. Solid. Wife had the blackened mahi, also solid. Server was sweet as a peach, so no complaints. Just wasn't blown away either. read more

I had lunch there with a friend today. We both had the soup and half sandwich for $10.00. Chicken noodle soup and a Blt. This sandwich had A good amount of bacon. Best around Englewood. Nice lunch for the price. Love the outside decor. Fast and friendly service. read more

5 of us dog parkers went there. it has been 1 month ago. none of us liked what we were served.We will not go back.

Excellent Thanksgiving dinner tonight at Howard's. The tdinner was delicious and the pumpkin cheesecake was excellent. Great service at the bar (we forgot to make reservations). 1/13/19 Had coconut shrimp, baked potato and broccoli, all cooked perfectly and the very best coconut shrimp I've ever had. 3/12/19 - Since we have been coming to Howard's weekly for many months I felt it was time for an honest update. We've never had a bad meal. Good food and excellent service each and every time. read more

Very disappointed. Prime Rib was tough as leather, everything was cold. Wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. Still as bad as when he owned Phil's 41 in punta gorda read more

Have eaten here twice......once for breakfast and then for dinner. Had the Eggs Benedict while hubby had an omelet. Order came out hot and delicious. Dinner was okay, I had the shrimp scampi on Early Bird menu but was a bit disappointed with portion size as well as stuffing that claimed to be abundant and with fresh crabmeat. I've had better and as they say, it's all about the stuffing. Salad bar was fresh and not like everyday salad bars. The crabmeat there more than made up for my entree. Hubby had the steak tidbits and was quite happy with that along with the fries that came with it. Service was excellent and pricing of breakfast was surprisingly inexpensive compared to dinner pricing which was a bit on the high side, even on the Early Bird Menu. read more

Ate dinner at Howard's tonight for the first time. We both had seafood - ahai tuna dish and a shrimp & scallops pasta dish. Price for both with tax was $50. No dinner salad offered. We drank water, no cocktails. VERY HIGH prices for what you get. Probably won't return read more

The wait staff were very friendly and very nice. Our waitress was very friendly and nice. There were five of us. We made reservations on a Friday for that evening and that was surprising they had room. To begin with we were never told about the specials. Two of us had the clam chowder and it was very good. I had the salmon and was cook as requested medium rare. It was very good. Another salmon was dry. Another guest ordered the Hamburger which was good but the French fries were over done. The gyro was good as well as that order of fries. The captains platter was minimal and all the sides were incorrect Someone ordered coffee but that was never received The food was okay and we decided we won't be back. But everyone was very nice and friendly But the bread read more

Oh, the utter disappointment! I've been wanting to try this restaurant for awhile, based solely on its self-billing as a seafood and steak house with an "award winning salad bar." Perhaps "Bar of Salads" would be a better moniker. I'm a huge salad fanatic and love nothing more than loading up a self-made salad with all my favorites....wow. Not the case here. There was macaroni salad, potato salad, a bowl of peas in something that looked like sour cream, a bowl of corn in a viniagrette....a pasta salad, a salad with beets...12 different kinds of potluck-esque "salads." Not. What. I. Had. Envisioned. Everything I tasted tasted the same. Bland. Yes, there was a bowl of salad greens. And a container of onions and one of cucumbers and cherry tomatoes. And about four different kinds of dressings. No broccoli, carrots, mushrooms, peppers, etc....SO many delicious veggies missing, and none of the fun "extras" like crumbled eggs, bacon, croutons, sunflower seeds, maybe a little cheese, etc....you know, all the "unhealthy" stuff to balance the healthy stuff in a salad. I hate eggs and bacon on my salads, but others love them, and I'm sure they felt the disappointment, too. Okay, and let me ask you this. What kind of restaurant that bills itself as a SEAFOOD RESTAURANT in the lovely state of freaking FLORIDA, ON THE WATER, nonetheless, serves IMITATION CRAB MEAT? Head explosion! I went in with my heart set on some Haddock or Mahi Mahi with "crab stuffing," until the hubs pointed out the asterisk on the menu indicating that all crab dishes (including crab cakes) used a mixture of real and imitation crab! The horror! Are we in the freaking midwest or something? No. We're in Florida. On the water. The utter horror. So we settled on the coconut shrimp (for me) and the plain mahi mahi with plain white rice for my hubby. It was good. Not gonna lie. But not to-die-for good. The hubs noted that the shrimp was cooked just right, as was his fish. But he tends to have rather bland tastes. Not nearly enough seasoning or flavor on any of the dishes for me. I could barely taste the coconut that coated my shrimp. Still, it appeared to be fresh-made with five large (jumbo?) butterflied shrimp. I had feared some frozen pre-coated shrimp from a bag bought at Costco. I think this was real shrimp, coated in coconut on site. I think. The hostess was subtly annoyed that we didn't have a reservation, but we were seated right away. The decor was hodge-podge and mismatched. Felt like a family-style restaurant from the 80s. They are in the process of moving to a new location and having that renovated, so maybe the atmosphere will improve once that transition takes place. The "entertainment...?" well, it was an older gentleman (snowbird, maybe? One of the staff or owners' dads, maybe?) who had a decent enough voice, I guess, when he knew the words, doing karaoke....it was just surreal. He didn't know the words to the songs...suffice it to say it was painful, as were the string of drunk elders who clambered up to "sing" with him. No issues with our server. She was attentive, efficient, and friendly, though not overly so. But people seemed to be having a good time, and I guess that's what it's all about in Florida, right? The prices were...I don't know...decent, I guess, by Florida standards. Our ticket was about $60 for our two dinners and two beers apiece (with tip). I don't think the quality of the food warranted it, though. Hubs thought it was "cheap" by Florida touristy standards, so maybe he's right about that. I'm hoping for their sake that lots of improvements come with their move to the new location, but as for us, we won't be back to the current location, OR the new one, without a lot of really excellent reviews on yelp. We've found much better places to eat, both on and off the island. read more

I was working late in Englewood the other day and I needed to get some dinner. I'm not a fan of chain restaurants when I'm traveling for work. I stopped in hoping, I suppose, to not find myself in Florida. (aka the non-south.) SURELY a small town this far south wouldn't be the same as the michgan-esque regions closer to tampa right? Wrong. It seems I am a mismatch for the culture here. As such, I will give you objective information: Price: Sort of high as seafood goes. $18 for a plate of shrimp. The cheapest item I saw was a hamburger for $11. Atmosphere: Well I came at night, so I couldn't see the water, but Howards really is "on the water." So you would get some semblance of a view from the dining area. Internally, the atmosphere is very... bland. There's nothing that sticks out as very nice, nor very poor. Just an average small family restaurant interior. Service: Very nice folks, if not lacking that southern charm that I'm used to from a little bit farther north in the "south" if that makes any sense. Service was prompt and to the point. The waitress wasn't much for small talk, but she wasn't rude, and kept my glass full. Food: Well that's why you go to a restaurant right? The food! Well first of all, the sign says SALAD BAR which is what got me in the door. I quickly realized however that it is a bar of assorted salads. (macaroni, potato, etc.) and not a "salad bar" like I'm accustomed to. Yea, sure, it had lettuce and dressings, but no croutons, no bacon bits, no cheese, no broccoli. So that set me off in a bad mood right off the bat. My opinion changed when the food arrived though. A small side of delicious steamed vegetables, a small but perfectly cooked baked potato, and a steak cooked to perfection. The food here is very good folks, even if it isn't the southern affair I was hoping for. So.. why the 3 stars? Well, because I won't go back to this restaurant the next time I'm in town. It's not my kind of seafood joint, and if you're from the south and you expect hushpuppies and coleslaw with your shrimp, you can't help but feel disappointed here. read more

Great every time! The bartender Becci is fabulous! UPDATE: The new location is amazing! read more

I think the big attraction here is the social bar atmosphere, as when I came in, the dining room was empty. Big salad bar, but not something for me, as many options are already mixed. Lettuce was watery (puddle in my plate when finished). Service was good. There is a frosted strip around the bar and in front of customers to keep their drinks cold. Not super effective, I'd rather have more ice IN my drink. Coconut shrimp appetizer was very good. read more

Artur’s - Comfortable bar seating! - Seafood Near Me - Englewood, Florida

I took my father and a friend to Howard's last evening expecting a tasty, relaxing meal. Such was not the case - the food was not tasty and the service certainly did not provide for an enjoyable dining experience. From the moment we entered the restaurant we felt very rushed. Our waitress asked to take our order AS we were being seated, and our food order as soon as drinks were delivered. Each time she came to the table it was if she was prompting us to finish so that the table could be turned. On ordering we were told that the traditional Friday fish fry my father had confirmed by phone wasn't a menu item at all. Two of us ordered fried fish anyway. What we were not expecting was fresh from the freezer, deep fried, fish-flavored breading. Unfortunately the pasta dish ordered was equally disappointing. read more

Seeing someone so happy and attentive made us all smile. read more

This restaurant has changed ownership and is now called Arthur's. Horrible service, out of food sent food back. Owner never came to see what the issue was will not be going back!! read more

Stopped here for dinner while visiting family in town. Lovely little place with an upscale vibe. Not too many choices on the menu to choose from , but they had a nice variety of different foods. I picked the Ahai Tuna sushi with a side of sweet potato wedges. Delicious! It was a new dish for me, and I'll be looking for that in future seafood restaurants. I tried a bite of the lasagna and chicken parm from a family member which was also very delicious. Calamari for appetizer was good, but I have had a bit better at other places. Still over all great place! read more

This is probably the best seafood place in town, and they have a great diverse menu , burgers, fish n chips and awesome entrees. I had the Chicken Marsala which I thought was excellent. My husband, the Italian, had the Italian Combo.. we were both very happy. Our waitress Jamie was very attentive and our drinks came promptly. We are very happy with the whole experience and would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a great night out! read more

Spectacular!! Lynn and I were out for a late dinner after a loooong day. We just wanted some decent food and a fun, upbeat atmosphere. Well, we found it at Howard's!! It was our first time eating here although we had seen a full parking lot every day for 2 weeks. Now we know why! Food was delicious, salad bar was creative and also delicious, (including gluten free) and the service was a 10!! Danny was our waiter and made us feel welcome and well taken care of. We will Definitely return to Howard's!! Wednesday nite is $10 off a bottle of wine night too, so we had a feast and the bill was just $50. Ask about the new and beautiful Private Room for special occasions. It's quite spectacular!! We ate at the high-top booths by the bar and loved watching all the activity around Howard's. Enjoy, Neil and Lynn Wood Hull, Mass January 7th, 2015 read more
