Stopped here for a quick salad lunch. The reviews always scared me away but I decided to try the shrimp and lobster salad anyway. It's complemented with heart of palm, corn and a citrus vinaigrette. Great combo in my opinion. The vinaigrette wasn't as citrusy as I was expecting. The portion size was great and presentation was fun! I also could see the beach from anywhere in the restaurant. I sat at the bar for quick service, and the breeze today felt amazing. I'm giving it 5 stars for my experience. If I try more items or a cocktail, I will update my review. read more

My family really enjoyed the atmosphere at this beach front restaurant. The menu had a great variety of options for adults and kids. My kids at Mac and cheese (devoured all of it) and chicken tenders (also finished most of it). The French fries are thin and crispy, which I very much prefer (they were delicious, IMO). The Lobster Mac was thick and had a good flavor. Definitely a heavier dish, though. My husband ordered the ahi tuna stack, which was very good, but also spicy, in case you don't like spice. Overall, we had a great experience across the board! read more

The service was prompt. The drinks were good. The food met my standards. Ordered the chicken sandwich fiery sauce on side. The shrimp po boy, and chowder bisque. I didnt try the bisque. The po boy was good. The shrimp were succulent and cooked to perfection. The chicken sandwich I enjoyed. The fries nicely seasoned. I should have added cheese to the sandwich. I enjoyed the panko crust. read more

We had Jessica's server. She was so kind and super attentive. We got the mahi tuna tacos oh my gosh they were so good. We got a side salad, which was great. It was perfect for a midday snack for me and my husband. Good ambience right on the beach I would recommend it to anyone and I am picky about my fish so the mahi I loved it. read more

Loved our server, Stephanie! Bo's has a nice ambience. We enjoy watching the cars and people go by. The food was good. They have a big selection of drinks! read more

Bo's Beach in Fort Lauderdale has that perfect laid back Florida vibe, with salty air, beach views, and exactly the kind of food you want by the water. We were seated in a great booth in the open area looking out toward the beach, and the wait staff was very kind and attentive. My crab chowder was nice and creamy with big chunks of meat and plenty of crab flavor. The chicken dish we shared came with two huge pieces of boneless fried chicken covered in a sweet honey sauce; we wished there were a few more potatoes on the plate, but the fire roasted corn went perfectly with it. It is a must visit when you are in this part of Fort Lauderdale, with the bonus of an easy parking lot right across the street. read more

Great location along the beach. Service was great! Our server was friendly and fun! Colorful decor with plenty of seating including a great bar area. Food was tasty! My sister got the shrimp salad and I got the lobster roll. Both were amazing with big portions. We got the calamari to start, and it came out cold, but they quickly replaced it with a new fresh order that was hot and cooked to perfection! We will definitely come back if in the area again. read more

I came here for lunch for the first time this weekend and it was great! We had the main lobster and shrimp salad plus the bacon and cheese Smashburger, which were both delicious. I love that they have seating along the sidewalk so you can have a perfect view of the beach and people watching. The service was quick and everyone was friendly. They did add 20% service charge gratuity to the check automatically but it was clearly marked. Overall, I would recommend if you're in the area! read more

We came one day for an early lunch, they were just opening. We were promptly seated, it's an open dining room for the most part. We ordered a smash burger and wings. I got a mango mule, which was pretty good. The smash burger was pretty dry but the toppings were fresh. The wings were good, it's hard to mess up wings. They were decently Meaty with not a lot of extra fat. The fries were the best part, they have the matchstick fries. If we go back, we'll be getting some different items. They seem to have a pretty decent happy hour based on their table tent advertisement. read more

Food was delicious, vibes were immaculate, server was friendly and fast! We had the calamari (multiple times), shrimp ceviche, fried oysters (also multiple times), mahi mahi tacos, firecracker shrimp (not my fav but still good) and the blackened grouper Reuben. Excellent! read more

Bo's is an extremely accessible and conveniently located beach restaurant right in front of the main Fort Lauderdale beach. There are parking garages all around. We ordered Fish and chips and Fish Tacos with the catch of the day. The tacos were pretty big and full of meat justifying the price. The menu is pretty large and even though the place is busy, I never had trouble getting a table. They have happy hours on weekdays and the offering change depending on the day. If you want a no headache chill place near the beach, Bo's beach is for you. read more

We sat at the bar and service was on-point. The drinks and food came out timely and it we were more than pleased. The only reason I'm deducting one star is for the music. It's 80's. Every time we go there the vibe is 80's music. Don't get me wrong, I like 80's some times but the hay day for 80's was 40 years ago. I'm 45 and I'd love to hear some fun 2000+ music. They play our music at Home Depot, I know I'm getting old but please let 80's music be one day a week or put in. Touch tunes. Aside from that the food was great, we got the; CRISPY FIRECRACKER SHRIMP $24 - 10/10, BO'S BEACH Pizza $25 - skip it and the Cesar salad - $17 - 7/10 (croutons not homemade as advertised but good portion and presentation). Go there for the specialty appetizers, $6 shots and great views! read more

Food was good. Service was not. Took a long time to get our food. They were not busy.

What an absolute disappointment of an establishment. I have never been anywhere that so disregards their patrons. We were in FLL over Super Bowl weekend and were pleased to find a place offering a special priced event to watch the game. Not only were they short staffed, but they started the event 40 minutes after advertised. It was a cold night and they wouldn't close the windows, claiming one was broken. I'm sorry, we weren't buying it, what do you do when the bar closes, not close your windows? It was terribly short staffed and they didn't care that we were freezing our butts off, only that there was a family on the patio watching the game. The rest of us freezing, paid a lot of money. Much more than the family on the patio. The food was good, but wouldn't return unless it was much warmer. read more

We had a fantastic dinner at Bo's Beach this past Wednesday night for our company's FY2024 awards meeting. We reserved the entire second floor, and everything from the setup to the food to the service was spot on. Bo's has been around since 2019 and is currently owned and run by Lou Moshakos and the LM Restaurants group. Their specialty is fresh seafood and wood-fired flatbreads, and honestly, the food really impressed everyone at our table. You can tell it's made with care, and the beachfront location definitely adds to the whole experience. What really stood out though was the service. Big shoutout to Jean, our bartender that evening, who was friendly, attentive, and seriously talented. He kept our group well taken care of all night and even made me a custom cocktail, I wish, I remembered what he called it, but it was light, refreshing, and just what I needed. Great spot, great people, great evening. We'll definitely be back maybe next time without all the coworkers and the PowerPoint slides! read more

Travelers beware- no pricing listed for some items and seems team will make up prices. I was told an item was $24 and then the bill comes and it's $31. Instead of honoring, they said that the oysters were swapped and so I have to pay the new price. Not to mention 20% gratuity added and another mystery fee because a concert is happening across the streets Despicable behavior. read more

Lots of craft beers, great watching the Chicago Bears and watching cruise ships sail away!

We were there on a Sunday afternoon. It was busy but not too crazy. We were seated for a good 20 minutes before the bartender asked if we'd been helped. Our waiter finally came by so we ordered our drinks and a pizza. The drinks were okay, but I've had better pizza from the frozen section of the grocery store. It was soggy and greasy. On top of that we had to rely on the bartender for napkins and utensils. And our waiter? He spent most of the time at the other end of the bar running his hands through his hair and seemed like he was just there to put in his time. Not a very appetizing experience. I will definitely skip it the next time I'm in Ft. Lauderdale even though it was right next door to our hotel. read more

OVERALL Bo's Beach was a fun, casual restaurant for families, groups, couples, and bar hoppers. RATING BREAKDOWN Food: 4 | Service: 4 | Ambiance: 4 | Price: 4 PARKING We walked here from our hotel, but I noticed parking lots nearby on both sides of Seabreeze Blvd (A1A). Not sure of the pricing when we were there on June 7, 2024. LOCATION/AMBIANCE The restaurant had music up loud and flat screens galore with sports going on. My daughters saw that they had a patio so we opted to sit out there. It was nice because we could see the beach and ocean plus all the LED-lit carts and cars that were touring folks around. I love people watching. That's the Californian in me. Lol. THE GRUB + Lobster Roll - pretty good. And I didn't mind the skinny fries that came with it. + Shot of Tullamore ($6) + Kid's burger & mac n cheese - my daughter enjoyed this + There isn't a kid's lobster roll, so I let my other daughter order her own from the main menu. She really enjoyed hers. It was a good meal, but a bit more than I expected at $89.35 for one adult and two kids. I suppose it was the two lobster rolls listed at "MP" (market price) that bumped it up... wished it had more lobster, though. LITTLE YELPER'S CLUB Yes, they had a kid's menu. See above. SERVICE We were greeted and seated right away. The hostess was not as friendly as I had hoped. Our waiter was really nice & funny, but got to us a bit slow at first. From there on it was quick service. MY FAVORITE PART... Being near the beach & the Atlantic Ocean with my two favorite girls. NOT SO FAVORITE PART... Trash flying around the patio where we sat. TIP They have a full bar with decent cocktail prices. read more

"Ohhh Calvin"...So we arrived a few minutes before closing time, but "Chef Calvin" not only kindly seated us, but he took our order and prepared the most amazingly tasty dishes, without a long delay!!! Chef Calvin created a Lobster Ceasar Salad ! It was freshly cut lettuce, perfect dressing and huge chucks of perfectly cooked lobster (no bones! No shells!) it was Delicious!!!!! It's a casual spot that serves great fresh food!! I ended up eating here 3 times in 1 week!!! Our servers and staff were all genuinely friendly and service was great!!!...That really made a difference too! Thanks Bo's!! read more

I wanted to love this place when I visited Fort Lauderdale, even returning on the second day of my stay because based upon my first impression on a Friday afternoon, the service was amazing and the food was good and there were plenty of vouchers given by our hotel that the server honored. The best part about this place is that it's facing the beach in a beautiful casual environment. The next evening when we returned, the service was a completely different story. We found food in my hair and the manager first offered to remove it from the bill--I didn't want to make a big deal but I was disappointed that they ended up replacing the plate which I did not want anymore. Furthermore, the manager gave me a hard time on redeeming my free drink voucher. Definitely not returning here when I come back! read more

Service was great. View was great. However, food is ridiculously over priced. Obviously a tourist trap. There are better cheaper options down the strip with the same view. There is no brunch at this location by the way. read more

I was very surprised with my meal at Bo's Beach. I have been to Bokamper's many times and I have found the food over there just ok. This time at Bo's Beach, I decided to get a Ahi Tuna Sunset salad and....oh..boy..what a good salad it was. The greens were all very fresh and the size of the salad was large. I asked for the dressing on the side and it made it perfect for me. My server Darwin, was also very attentive and very good. I had gotten a table overlooking the ocean, so it was a beautiful setting with good food and good service. read more

My family of 8 had an excellent time at Bo's Beach. I made a reservation on a Saturday in June just as we finished getting ready and we were lucky to snag some good seats.

Lana at the Bar was super sweet even though she was super busy!! Ahi tower was amazing and shrimp Caesar was yummy

Best view on the beach!! There are so many things that make Bo's a great place to spend a day or night. The food is outstanding, but the staff and vibe make this place. Amidst all of the touristy restaurants in the beach, this place stands out! I can't recommend strongly enough... they definitely earned their 5 stars! read more

Bo's Beach - Clam Chowder - New American Near Me - Fort Lauderdale, Florida

We ordered takeout from Bo's Beach and brought it down to the beach to enjoy the view, so this review is based on the food only, not the dine-in experience. My son got the kids' Smashburger with fries. It was just okay. The patty was about the size of a McDonald's cheeseburger, and at $17, that felt steep for a kids' meal. My husband had the regular double-patty Smashburger with cheese and bacon. He liked it and felt it was worth the price. I had the Cobb salad with chicken and was pretty disappointed. It came with only iceberg lettuce (which doesn't belong in a Cobb, in my opinion--romaine would've made a big difference). The bacon tasted like the pre-packaged kind, not freshly cooked. For $23, I expected something more. My sister ordered the pepperoni pizza, and that was actually really good. That was the one item we all agreed was worth getting again. Overall, the food was hit or miss. Convenient for takeout, but the quality didn't quite match the prices. If we order from Bo's again, it'll probably just be for the pizza. read more

Bo's Beach - Cobb salad takeout. Only iceberg lettuce. Disappointed. - New American Near Me - Fort Lauderdale, Florida

My family of 4 ate here for lunch. we went at 3pm when there were no other tables, except for bar patrons. the seating is adorable! the cushiony booths with pillows were very cozy. the food was pretty good. nothing stood out to brag about. the kids mac n cheese was so thick, it was very hard to eat. we are a mac n cheese lovers house, but this was just too much. i we have it in a to-go box & it passes the dairy queen blizzard test. we were shocked to see that 20% is added to every check for automatic gratuity, which was a $25 tip. not terrible, but we were unaware til it was on the check. overall, we would try it again! read more

We dined with Mark Anthony he was a phenomenal server is also known to be a rockstar bartender. I highly recommend the cucumber Reef cooler. It was refreshing and light.
