It is an amazing dive bar and restaurant minutes away from the Lauderdale by the sea beach. I had the whiskey cocktail with bacon, fried pickles and a shrimp po boy. Food was so fresh and good portions and prices. I even went back later on in the day to get a burger to go for my boyfriend. Our server was on point and very nice even though the place was busy. I asked to sample a draft beer and didn't love it but I am picky since I am a bartender myself. I will be coming back to try some other menu items since everything I had was yummy and would go back for cocktails. Compliments to the chefs whoever the team is in back of house is putting in passion to what they do. Give it a try if you are in the area. read more

Nice place with good appetizers and workers! Manager or Owner should tell the workers to write down the orders though instead of trying to remember everything and forget and come back to ask us read more

It's decent! Great atmosphere and great food however the menu could probably benefit from having more to choose from-if I had to critique. We order the sliders all the time! Even the salads taste good. Everything does! read more

Visited here with my parents while on vacation and had a great time. Our server was super sweet and patient while we browsed the menu. We seated ourselves and she came over right away to greet us. I don't think I caught her name, but she told us she is from Ohio. We really thought she was great! I had already eaten dinner with a friend, but my parents got the pulled pork sliders that were half off on Mondays with mac and cheese. They loved them so much they added a second order after sharing the first. Also we enjoyed a cobb salad. I had two mezcal margs which were great! And only $12! My mom's drink: Guava my colada was a perfect beachy tiki drink. Loved it. My dad's beer was half off because it was Monday too. Super reasonable prices, great food and drinks, and friendly service. Definitely would go back. read more

One of the best deals in town is still the Monday special of 50% off sliders at Billy Jack's. It used to be a fantastic deal when the sliders rang at $3-4 a few years back, but now even at $7 a piece during Monday's special, they are still a good option among happy hour deals in LBTS. The size of the sliders are good, especially with the nice bun that comes with it. I got mine with the lettuce wrap and it was not as filling, but it was lower carbs. Our server/bartender was friendly and so nice ! read more

Great little hole in the wall restaurant. The only reason they didn't get a 5 was the tater tots are your standard industrial tater tots and they weren't outstanding. The burgers and sliders however are worth the drive to this place. They are hearty and flavorful. The pulled pork sandwich was excellent as well. Our server was pleasant and did a great job. Beer was cold and they had a great selection. read more

Looking for a quick dinner while in town and found great reviews for this place. Live music when we arrived which was good but a little too loud. They have a very eclectic vibe with $1 bills with drawings and notes on them covering the walls in the entire restaurant. You seat yourself and it took a bit to get service but our server was great. The food was all fresh and so good! Started with the box o' bacon and fried Mac nuggs (both very good) but the burgers definitely stole the show. Fries and tots were good but nothing special. So many options sounded good so we'd need to come back to try more. read more

Billy Jacks has the vibe going on part beach part college bar. The decor is super chill with dollars as wall paper and some interesting pieces. Staff were super nice and checked in on you. I had a "napkin burger" which was loaded with mushrooms and a Swiss cheese. The bun was soft and fresh. The burger itself was very well done and not very juicy. I did enjoy the tater tots for something different. They were nice a crispy. Next time I may opt for a more simple burger. read more

Unfortunately Sunday night at 8:00pm is not a good time for whoever is cooking in the kitchen! $75.00 wasted on dinner! The bad: The food! So bad we couldn't eat it! The chicken and waffle was so burnt it was black and dry. Even the waffle was hard to cut. The porky biggie sandwich was also burnt and not edible..yuck! The good: the atmosphere is very cool and the walls are covered with dollar bills. Our young new waitress was very friendly. After asking her to remove the partially eaten no good food she offered a donut and small cup of ice cream which was nice of her. I had eaten here years before and the sliders were good. This dinner was a flop! Rj read more

If you want cold beer and pub food this is a great option. Nothing we had was earth shattering, except the service. Miles was super customer focused and he was all over the bar making sure everyone was tended too. The food was a solid good. I had the classic burger. I saw several large burgers being delivered and mine was just meh. As it was good- nothing overwhelming. It was slightly overcooked (wasn't asked how I like it and next time I would ask for more medium). The bun was super fresh and it was on $8.50 so that's all positive. The sweet potato fries were from a frozen bag. Again, not bad, just not great. Would get tots instead. I would prob try something else to see if it's just the kind of spot you have to know what to order. My husband got the Nashville hot chicken sandwich (Foghorn) and he was it was "very good". He liked his more than I liked mine. I was charged $2 for a tiny side of ranch. Would appreciate a heads up and homemade for that detail. We shared 13 oysters and they were $36. They were fresh and served with cocktail sauce. The fried Oreos were outstanding and I would order those again but for $4 I wish it was more than 1 to an order. The spot was hopping on a Friday. Great ambiance and live music. Wish I could do 4.5/5. It close but not 5/5 in my book. read more

Burgers are soooooo good! Also a fun ambience with all the $1 bills everywhere. Good place for a burger and a beer but they also have other stuff as well. read more

Good selection of burgers and sliders as well as many beer selections near the beach. They offer good daily specials as well as happy hour deals. Unfortunately the service was very slow. read more

The burger tasted really good and the fries were well seasoned but for the price more fries coulda been added. I definitely recommend because I'm going back myself for sure! The server was well knowledgeable and comfortable with surprising me with the which burger to try. read more

Billy Jack's is located just west of Anglin's Square in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea. This bistro offers "redesigned" American comfort food, an oyster bar, and a full-service bar with draft and craft beer. There is also a daily happy hour with food & drink specials in a relaxed, comfortable atmosphere. The short of it is...whether you choose to dine in or out---take out or order delivery, they will not disappoint. Their menu offerings are affordable and simply delicious! read more

What a great lunch we had here while we were In Lauderdale by the Sea! My hamburger was cooked perfectly and was very juicy and flavorful. Oh and the onion rings perfectly cooked and delicious. Husband had the Cesar salad with grilled chicken he said it was great. Service was exceptional. Defiantly worth a visit when you are in the area. read more

Great first experience! I know, late to the game, but I will definitely return... And she did, she did in fact return 1 year later. Great 2nd visit during the LBTS Holiday event!! It was busy, but service was still good and food arrived in a timely manner. Awesome oyster special on Wednesdays! They have a great beer list as well as a tasty cocktail menu with decent prices. Definitely a great place for sliders or burgers, but ask about their fresh catch! I ordered the blackened Mahi Baja Tacos. My boys loved the fish and chips. Definitely recommend and it's easy walking distance around LBTS. read more

Definitely a local and popular spot. Decorated with dollar bills, just a cool place great vibe awesome food and fantastic service. We started with raw oysters from Massachusetts, clean and delicious. I had the fish and chips . The fish was perfectly battered and fried, not greasy served with house made tartar sauce was delicious. My friends had sliders they really like the 50/50 Grind, Chuck Norris and Mike Teevee Bloody Mary's was spot on, great beer list . Definitely going back!! read more

Overcooked burgers. Ordered (3) vodka drinks, specified well drinks (8.00) , was up charged to Tito's vodka , we got well and not Tito's ... Bartender said no changes to our bill... As a local we will go elsewhere.... Service was excellent. read more

First off, expect to pay for parking. It's a decent open front place with a big bar, tables and booths. The music was a bit loud, but I'm old now. The menu had quite a bit of pop culture references, and a few options that sounded interesting, but were looking for burgers. Oh well, another 'smash burger' place, which is not my favorite type of burger. Our waitress was very attentive, kept our drinks full and had a good sense of humor. Check it out, the food tasted good, the price was reasonable and service was great. read more

Great vibe, beer, and oysters. Dive Bar with all the fixings. Great for people watching or engaging in pirate like behavior... read more

Billy Jacks Shack - Great craft beer and oysters.... - American Near Me - Lauderdale-By-The-Sea, Florida

We tried for 3 nights to eat at this restaurant. 3rd time was the charm. Ordered some sliders from their happy hour menu, with caesar salad and onion rings. I ordered the B-real burger and a coconut mai-tai. Our server was awesome, very personable and friendly. Helped us figure out what we wanted. The mai-tai took a little longer than expected but our server was very responsive and apologetic. Our dinner was delivered in a time frame that was consistent with how busy they were. Very cool atmosphere with dollars pegged all over the walls. It was a little cool and they had a fan blowing on us which during normal Florida weather is fine. Tonight was a little chilly. Everything had really good flavor and good presentation when delivered. Great restaurant, service was top notch! Great job!!! read more

The place was really nice very busy on a Thursday night they have one of the best happy hours which is from 5-7 in this area Lauderdale by the sea. We had 3 cheese sliders that came with a side we had sweet potato fries and Cole slaw, sticky nuggets bbq, plain corn on the cob. I had 2 beers 1 was a Floridian and the other a lager. The portion size are great. The service was good but they only had 2 servers for just the outside área. They were able to manage. read more

Great beer selection, great happy hour. What more can you say. They had specials for $2 oysters. I decided to get some as an appetizer. As expected, they were very tiny but not horrible. Four of these oysters would add up to a normal size oyster. I ordered the southwest chopped Cobb salad with grilled chicken. That dressing was fantastic! One of the better salads I've had in a long time. We sat at the bar and our bartender was great. She gave me samples of the darker craft beers and made a great Ron Burgundy (old fashioned) with bacon. Again, good food, nice beer selection, and great service. I would definitely come back. read more

My buddy told me about Billy Jack's for many months, he regularly has gone here for years with his family that has a second home in LBTS. I've gone to Billy Jack's a bunch of times in the last 4-5 months. I tend to meet others here on Wednesday nights, when they have $2 grilled or raw imported Oysters, and $1 beers. You can't go wrong with this deal! The grilled oysters are insanely good w/ thier chopped garlic and mignonette they grill them with, and served with sliced garlic bread, chefs kiss! Raw are always fresh and delicious. The bar/resto is covered with signed dollar bills, like something you'd see in the Florida Keys etc, it's a great space wth eclectic decor. Bartenders and staff are always very nice, with great pours. They have no issues w/ my buddy bringing his big golden retriever/ registered emotional support dog. This place would get a higher rating with later hours. They start closing the bar down at 10pm, which I think stinks. This place could be perfect if they served drinks until at least midnight :( Very chill, relaxed Beach bar vibe, with excellent burgers/pub food and oysters, but with limited hours for such close proximity to the beach. read more

Billy Jack Shaq has a great brunch. Their breakfast is really good. I haven't had anything else from there. Definitely a good brunch spot to go to. read more

This place could definitely be a Five Star place if they cleaned it up a little. My daughters and I sat at a table outside that I am not sure had been cleaned in days. Service was good and the food was very good. Between the three of us I had a B-Real burger, my oldest had Wings and Mac & Cheese, and my youngest had a Chicken Caesar Salad. Check this place out. Worth the short drive from the main Fort Lauderdale beach area. read more

I visited Billy Jack's Shack on a Monday and was really impressed at first. They run a fantastic special -- sliders are half price, and drinks are discounted too. You get two sliders for $7, and they were very tasty and a great value. Unfortunately, what could have been an excellent visit was ruined by one major problem: dogs inside the restaurant. There's a sign right out front that says "No dogs allowed except service animals," but once you walk in, it's a different story. I saw dogs sitting on bar stools at the bar and even in chairs at dining tables. When I asked about it, the explanation I got was "They're locals." That doesn't make it okay. Aside from being unfair to paying guests who expect a clean environment, it raises serious questions about health and safety. It's a shame, because the food and specials really are good. But until the restaurant enforces its own rules and respects health standards, I can't recommend it. read more

Been there at least a dozen times now and even done take out! Always been good. Burgers are amazing! Staff is friendly and relaxing atmosphere with regular live music and good prices.
