Whether you live nearby or not, I would say that it is worth coming to Burtons Grill. I've been…read morehere twice and left with a happy belly full of delicious sensibly made food. Both visits were for birthdays---the first was mine, when I happened to mention to our server that we were celebrating my birthday and she helped make the experience great. She then exclaimed, "You should have told me it was your birthday! We'll give you a dessert. Would you like to take it home?" Which I did, and the Seven Layer Chocolate Cake was thoroughly enjoyed for breakfast on two different days. I still can't get over the fudge layers in the sponge sandwiched by a light, creamy chocolate mousse. The plated cake was much cuter and better dressed with surrounding raspberry sauce instead of it being in a takeout cup, but the divine tastes of that cake are unchanged. Seeing that the majority of their locations are in the north, with the southernmost locations before Florida being Virginia and South Carolina, I feel lucky that we have a location in South Florida (and a second in Boca Raton). The hostesses are friendly, as well as the servers, and each one asks about allergies in the party. I saw on their website that they have a commitment to accommodating food allergies and a protocol for communicating allergies to the staff and kitchen. The most recent visit started with us repeating allergies to our server after telling our hostess, as he wasn't informed of them. It never hurts to confirm that everyone is on the same page but it was a little odd. I'm not sure what those purple allergy cards are supposed to do if they're not written on. However, like I mentioned, they are really serious about food allergies. When we were placing orders, our server would tell us whether there were allergens in the dishes we mentioned. Our server during my first visit even went back to the kitchen to check whether there were eggs in a sauce that were in one of the dishes we were interested in, without being asked. The inside is clean, beautiful and well lit, and the bar is spacious with plenty of screens if you're able to make it in for their happy hour at the bar from 3-6 PM on Mondays-Fridays. We had the guacamole and chips ($9), which had a surprisingly generous portion of genuine guacamole to the point where we ate all of the white and blue tortilla chips that came with it. I asked our bartender if we could get more chips by any chance, and another bartender heard and went straight to the kitchen and came out with a bowl of warmed tortilla chips. I had an Old Fashioned, which was slightly sweeter than I'm used to, but still having great citrus aromas. I recommend having a cocktail on happy hour as they are typically $15-17 on the regular menu while they are $10 during happy hour. For dinner during my second visit, we were seated in a lounge appearing area to the left of the entrance with long couches for the booth seats and an unfinished cut of wood table. Let me tell you about the food before I run out of space! Bread service: I know it's weird to have to pay for bread, but that's the restaurant world we live in. It's worth the $5 to get warm, fluffy bread dressed with everything seasoning and coming with herbed butter, pesto and an olive tapenade, all a choose-your-own-bread-adventure sampler. You can tell nothing on the plate came out of a jar. Philly cheesesteak rolls: Everyone can eat all 3 of the rolls that come in this dish along with the crispy onion rings that come on top of them. Resist the urge and share the tender beef and gooey cheese inside of these rolls. NY strip: Tender, well grilled and seasoned, accompanied by tasty green beans and mashed potatoes made with just the right amount of butter where you taste more potato than butter or cream. Crab crusted haddock: A generous portion of flaky, slightly buttery haddock with an aromatic crab cake on top. We loved the jasmine rice that came with it, from the degree of cooked to a little oil covering. Lobster roll: It was a summer limited item until August 31, and I'm sorry to say it was perfectly buttered, toasted and brimming with plump lobster meat. You were able to get it cold with a cole slaw, but a hot roll is definitely the move. Did I convince you to go try their food? If not, read this again. I'll see you there.

We booked this venue for a "goodbye party" for one of our employees who is leaving us to go back to…read moreschool. We were a party of 30 and wanted to have a small space to ourselves so we would not bother others as we can be a bit rowdy. We were offered the outdoor area with the beautiful view of the pond. From the moment we walked in (with all of our balloons, etc) we were greeted and taken right to our area. Quickly thereafter, Alexia came outside to introduce herself and the other bartenders (I am sorry I forgot the others names). SHE WAS AMAZING!!!! The staff was so accommodating and took exceptional care of us. No matter what we needed, they were right there. The food was DELICIOUS and came out so quick. We did apps and cocktails and everything (especially the expresso martini) was excellent. I truly cannot say enough about Alexia!!!! She knows what she is doing! We are actually thinking about doing our Holiday party there this year because of how great she was :)

One of us had special requests for her meal, no problem. One of us rolled in 5 minutes AFTER everyone else had arrived and ordered their drinks already, again... no problem. Faith is a superstar. Every dish was perfect, and the huge portions made for an outstanding presentation to the one of us who'd never been here before. Plus! The martini sidecars were a big hit.

The bartender was very friendly and even let me sample a few of the craft beers so I could choose my favorite. The prices are excellent, too! For food, I ordered the fried pickles, and they were really good. My friends ordered sandwiches, and everything looked delicious. I really enjoyed the experience and will definitely be coming back more often!

It's kind of well hidden, but that only makes it better. They have some awesome refrigerators with hundreds of drink choices as well as beer tap. They have comfortable couches a ton of seating options and they also have a ton of board games. I think this is a really chill spot. If you wanted to go somewhere that was a low-key but also out. Their drinks are also very affordable, which makes you want to stay for longer! They also have a ton of great food choices. I saw options that people were eating that I definitely wanna try next time! However, I was able to try the fried pickles which I thought were delicious as well as the nachos. Definitely stopped by Riverside market in plantation if you have a chance to do so!

I am only giving a 3 star because of the service. The waiters were nice and attentive, and the host was super sweet to my girls. I think this place is good for breakfast.

While everything was incredibly tasteful, the ropa vieja poutine was by far my favorite. They also have so many signature cocktails to choose from, and on Thursdays, they offer a ladies night special with $8 mini select martinis.

Parking was conveniently located right in front of the restaurant, making it an easy stop. As soon as we walked in, we were warmly greeted and invited to sit wherever we liked. We chose a table near the window and immediately appreciated the intimate and charming atmosphere. The restaurant also features a bar and televisions, creating a relaxed and welcoming vibe. Our waitress was pleasant, attentive, and made us feel right at home, which always enhances the dining experience. Although we weren't extremely hungry, the menu had so many appealing options that we decided to sample a few items. We started with the Caribbean Tea shots, which were unique, refreshing, and surprisingly enjoyable. For drinks, we ordered a Malbec and a Peanut Butter Old Fashioned. Our first entrée was the Churrasco Frites, featuring marinated skirt steak topped with chimichurri and served with twister fries. The steak was cooked perfectly, tender and flavorful, but those fries were the true star of the dish. Still wanting more, we ordered the Garlic Parmesan Twice Cooked Wings. They were nicely prepared and satisfying, though I would have enjoyed a stronger garlic flavor. Not quite finished, we moved on to the Oaxaca Burger, an 8 ounce burger stacked with onion rings, bacon jam, house BBQ sauce, and Oaxaca cheese. This was one of the best burgers I've ever had, and possibly the best. The bun was toasted yet soft, the burger was seasoned perfectly, and it was cooked to a juicy medium temperature. Every bite was packed with flavor. Overall, everything we ordered was excellent, and the service and atmosphere made the experience even better. I would definitely recommend this restaurant and look forward to returning.

We immediately started with the chicken lettuce wraps. In my opinion it's a little pricey at almost $18 but it is enough for 2 people to share. We then had the crispy chicken tender platter. This comes with two sides- French fries and Cole slaw which I switched for a Caesar salad. I was disappointed I only got two tenders lol and the chicken had too much batter, but the entire entree was a big portion! Our server was great and the music playing set the mood for a fun ambiance. The food quality has been consistent at this location and the other locations I have been too as well. Not to mention they have a great brunch!

Everything was absolutely phenomenal each dish was full of flavor and beautifully prepared. I also had two Peachy Lychee Martinis, and they were so delicious! The perfect balance of sweet and refreshing. Great atmosphere, amazing food, and a fun girls' night out. I'll definitely be returning.
