    Cracked Conch and snow Fried Crab & Shrimp
    Jar M.

    This was bussin but I like the steamed crabs more than the fried crab legs. Again, it bussed. The cracked conch with the remoulade sauce is chef's kiss.

    Okay I just had to let the people know how awesome this place is. I've driven by a million times and I finally stopped in right before they closed. The service itself was so good, they were so nice and made some awesome recommendations. I went with the Miami bowl and they tossed the shrimp with a bbq sauce I believe. The bowl was fire, I will definitely be back!!

    Mr. Shrimp is a small South Florida fast-casual seafood chain with three locations, offering a cleaner, more modern take on the familiar "boil-in-a-bag and fried basket" formula. The space is bright and surprisingly polished with white tile walls, blond wood tables, and cheerful lighting; more design-forward than most Cajun seafood joints. A display case at the counter showcases the day's (frozen) seafood selection -- snow crab, shrimp, crawfish, and lobster tails -- alongside signs for house-made sauces and banana pudding. Service was quick, about five minutes from order to table. Rachel's crab-and-shrimp combo arrived steaming hot and properly cooked, generously coated in a deep red-orange Cajun spice mix that looked great but hit hard on salt. The seasoning is heavy -- a paprika-colored dusting laced with cayenne, garlic, and herbs, applied both in the boil and again on top. Crack a shell or lick your fingers and it's an instant salt bomb. The crab itself was clean-tasting and stored correctly, free of freezer burn. My fried shrimp platter looked picture-perfect (see photo): shrimp cooked properly with a crisp, non-greasy coating, though flavor-wise it wasn't a "wow" fried shrimp by any means. Fries were solid, and the garlic bread a pleasant extra. It's a spotless, well-run local operation that clearly takes pride in presentation and efficiency. If you're in Lighthouse Point and craving crab legs, it's a safe, fast, and visually appealing stop. But with a dozen similar spots within fifteen minutes of Coral Springs, it's more of a convenient local option than a destination.

    If Mr. Shrimp was overlooking the water, I'd give the restaurant a 5, that's how good the food was. A clean and well ran franchise, the food is excellent. The Boil in the Bag with added Crayfish was bursting with flavors. I've eaten in numerous seafood restaurants, and Mr. Shrimp is up there with the best. They even put a new spin on how to eat seafood by providing not only bibs, but gloves as well. Great food.

    I am a regular at Mr Shrimp and I love it!! Every time I go the quality is amazing and they never failed me with the flavor! Rosemary is very kind and took care of me at the front. She even remembered my order !!

    Crawfish 1 LB

    This was my first time ordering from Mr. Shrimp and I ordered via Uber Eats. Not much meat in the crawfish but what little meat they had was delicious and bursting with butter flavor. I suppose that is the nature of crawfish that there isn't too much yield. I ordered 1 lb and it arrived super warm and fresh. Reasonable price point too.

    Hushpuppies weren't quiet in flavor

    Rock solid 4! Perfection is hard to achieve, but this establishment wasn't far off. I really wanted fresh seafood with some punch. Did they ever deliver! Hit me with that Creed jab to the jaw. Super efficient delivery system. Door dash is working in tandem to make it happen hot and fresh. I ordered a small smorgasbord to surf the flavors. So glad I did! Flavor after flavor I was delighted! Next time I'm in the area this will be a go to. Bon appetite!

    Fried shrimp platter
    Lee W.

    Great quick seafood spot. They have a wide variety of fried seafood, bowls, boils, and po boys. Cute interior and oitdoor seating. Order at the counter, and they bring the food out pretty quickly. We ordered the fried shrimp platter, which came with a generous portion of shrimp, French fries, and a cup of crab salad. Also, we had a crab cluster, which we had with medium spice. Really meessy but ao tasty. The food was really tasty and the prices were good for what we got. I will plan on going back again soon to try some other dishes.

    Popped in for dinner tonight and enjoyed the family boil. The platter comes with shrimp, potatoes, corn, mussels, and crab claws. It was the perfect size for 6 of us. I also ordered sausage and a small container of shrimp with it. The restaurant is right on the street and parking is in the back lot. There is both indoor and outdoor seating. The space is pretty tiny and I'm sure could fill quickly. We moved a few tables together to accommodate our family. The food came out quickly and was seasoned beautifully. The corn was a bit overcooked and mushy but I won't hold that against them. The gal who took our order gave us metal trays as plates to eat on, gloves, and bibs. It was a great touch. The downside for us was they don't offer crab crackers or tools to get the crab out. They had to borrow scissors from the kitchen and we took turns sharing them which really slowed dinner down. I'd say that was the biggest bummer because if you can't get the crab meat out what's the point of serving it?! Overall the food was good, the place was clean, and the kitchen staff was nice. If you love southern boils it's worth a try!

    Old lime wedges and sad bland shrimp.
    Mariluz M.

    I was excited for my Seafood Boil. The previous time I went it was good. I ordered Crab legs, shrimp, mussels. This time everything was bland but the crab. Seems that they pre boiled everything in regular water ( no salt) and just threw the sauce on. To top it off the lime wedges were old (brown tinged) . Very disappointing. =( Did not taste like a Seafood Boil.

    Family seafood boil to go
    Danielle M.

    It's a small casual restaurant with an awesome menu. Prices are more than fair, and you can get reasonable sandwiches and bowls all the way up to large seafood boils. The seafood is fresh and seasoned to perfection. The mussels were large and meaty. We loved our family-sized seafood boil and have plenty left over. It also comes with corn and potatoes. In the past, we've also enjoyed the small bowls and the fish sandwiches. Join their member club and you can save $ on future visits. There's ample parking, and the food comes out pretty quickly. Friendly customer service, too. We will certainly return again and are glad this placed joined the neighborhood a few years ago.

    Great quick service and tasty seafood tonight at this casual local spot. There is Cajun seasoning on everything, even when choosing mild flavor so be aware and let them know your taste when you order. Mostly indoor seating and a few tables outdoors. The menu board is over the counter where you order. The prices are very reasonable for the area and the portions are good size. The atmosphere is a notch above a fast food restaurant, nothing fancy. We had the seafood boil with crab, shrimp, corn and potatoes in a garlic butter sauce and cajun shrimp pasta with sausage. We were happy with both and even filled up enough to take home a small portion. They did have a $39 Mother's Day special which included a lobster tail, crab cluster, shrimp, potatoes, corn and beignet fries for dessert. Nice! I have tried their fried seafood as well and it was very good. We will return.

    A Solid Cajun spot. Ive been a half a dozen times over the years. I stopped in recently and the food was as good as my first visit. Great consistency. The Boils are always good. I did a Fish sandwich this visit and all I can say is I should have taken a picture. An Outstanding fish sandwich! I didn't ask the fish type but it was great served on A fresh roll. Great flavor! A Well put together fried fish sandwich. Prices are reasonable. Service was great. Nice people! Parking in back. Indoor / outdoor seating. I'll be back.

    We celebrated Father's Day at South Bar and it did not disappoint. We had a reservation just…read morebefore it got really busy. This was our second time dining here; the first time being shortly after they opened. The restaurant is really beautiful inside with accents of green and gold and white. Outdoors, there's plenty of table space, a bar, and a stage for live music. It looked like it has been expanded since my first time there. I'm glad to see this restaurant doing well in Old Town Pompano. Our server was very friendly and assisted us with our questions about the menu. As we were there for brunch, we settled on fried green tomatoes Eggs Benedict, steak and eggs, and shrimp and grits. The fresh biscuits sounded so good that we ordered them. We should have asked for them to come out early, so we could enjoy them while we were waiting. However, we took them home and enjoyed them the next day. We also made the mistake of ordering a side of potatoes. That was definitely not necessary because two of the entrées came with potatoes, and we had more than plenty for the table. Again, something we enjoyed the next day. We were all impressed with what we ordered. Everything came out hot and cooked just as we had asked. My shrimp and grits were absolutely delicious. I also thought it was also nice that our server asked if we wanted to take our refilled drinks to go and prepared to go cups for us. This restaurant has been consistent for us, and I definitely plan to be back. Next time, I'd like to check out their live music scene and get a table outside when the weather gets a little cooler.

    I had a wonderful brunch at South Bar & Grill in Pompano this past Sunday with four friends. Making…read morean 11:00 a.m. reservation online was quick and easy. We chose to sit inside because of the heat, although the outdoor seating area looked beautiful as well. When we arrived, the restaurant was still pretty quiet, and we were seated right away. For brunch, they offer either a $49 brunch package with a wide variety of items or an à la carte menu. Our server let us know that everyone at the table has to choose the same brunch option, so we all went with à la carte. I ordered the sweet potato waffles, and they were absolutely delicious! One of my friends had the poached eggs with fried green tomatoes, and my other two friends ordered the egg sandwiches with hash browns. Everyone really enjoyed their meals. The service was excellent. Our waitress was attentive, friendly, and checked on us throughout our meal. The décor is beautiful, with dark green tones that create a stylish, inviting atmosphere. The only thing that felt a little unusual was someone coming around taking photos of diners and then offering them for purchase, but we simply declined. By around noon, the restaurant had become much busier, which speaks to its popularity. Overall, we had a great experience and would definitely come back for brunch again!

It's a lot of fun just to have a nice dinner and relax. This time we had the muscles Florentine, chicken wings, and my wife had the grilled snapper. A across the board top-notch food. Once again, everything was fresh and delicious. We also got the carrot cake, which was excellent, super moist and flavorful, but we ate it too fast to take a picture

My wife and…read moreI started with the house salad with miso ginger dressing, which was excellent--fresh, flavorful, and honestly one of the highlights of the meal. For the appetizers, we ordered the mango wings, honey garlic shrimp, and for our entree split the Caribbean grilled grouper with pigeon peas and rice and sweet plantains. I appreciated the unique flavor combinations and the creativity of the menu, but overall the dishes were underwhelming and lacked the seasoning I was hoping for. Everything was cooked well, but nothing really stood out enough to make me want to order it again. The service was excellent but the atmosphere seemed to cater to an older crowd. I'm sure there's probably a dish on the menu that I would enjoy, especially given how much I liked the salad, but based on this visit, it wasn't enough to bring me back.

    Catfish Deweys have redeemed themselves from our last visit, two years ago, when all the food we…read moreordered was NOT good! The restaurant was and bustling with customers coming in to eat consistently! It wasn't too loud so we could hear each other at the table. Although they were busy, we didn't have to wait too long for our food! Our server, Phillip, who truly looks like Ryan Gosling was PHENOMENAL!!! He was on top of EVERYTHING and had the best personality and demeanor!!! The fish & shrimp and sweet tea were AMAZING; however, the sides need a little bit more work but were edible. Hence the 4 stars instead of 5.

    Massive Feast! Epic Crab Legs & Flawless Fried Catfish ​We…read morerolled into Catfish Dewey's with a big party of 10, and this place absolutely knocked it out of the park! We specifically chose it because the wife loves crab legs, and they run an incredible All-You-Can-Eat special on Tuesdays and Thursdays. ​As you can see from my photo more than half of our table went all-in on the AYCE crab legs, and it was a glorious, buttery battlefield. The kitchen kept the supply coming--served up in big metal tins, consistently warm, perfectly cooked, and accompanied by absolute pools of melted butter for dipping. The quality and pace for an all-you-can-eat setup were top-notch. The wife was in seafood heaven! ​Now, with a name like Catfish Dewey's, you know I couldn't leave without testing the namesake dish. I ordered the catfish, and it was a total home run. It came out piping hot, with a perfectly seasoned, ultra-crispy golden crust while staying incredibly flaky and tender on the inside. ​ The Hidden Gem Bonus: They start you off with complimentary hush puppies served with butter. Let me tell you, these things are dangerous! Crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and the perfect sweet-and-savory bite to kick off a massive meal. ​Whether you're feeding a massive crew, chasing a killer seafood special, or just want some of the best fried fish in town, Catfish Dewey's is the real deal. Incredible food, great energy, and we left completely stuffed. Highly recommend! ​Where is the next stop on the Fort Lauderdale food tour? Hit me with the details!
