Definitely come to Papa's Raw Bar! It was family dinner night and I had a craving for some seafood. The ambiance was very relaxed and family friendly, with enough space to maneuver a stroller and welcoming to my 3-month old. There was a dj outside setting some good vibes and inside was nice a calm. Highly recommend bringing a jacket, the air conditioning inside kept the place pretty chilly when it was on and then comfortably warm when off. The food was fresh and delicious. I would say it rivals Joe's Stone Crab in Miami Beach. Everything was to perfection. My favorites were the fried calamari and the whole fried fish (didn't get a pic). A little lemon juice and nothing more was needed. Our server Mimi was delightful and had great menu knowledge. Especially appreciated her suggestion of spicy mayo with my blackened lobster sandwich rather than the sauce it comes with. Looking forward to coming back! read more

Excellent service for Friday 3:00pm lunch. My brother , his wife and I were seated inside in the back. Great area, large area for groups and TVs to watch. We were the only ones in this area when we arrived but started to fill up when we left. A great room. I Started with a conch chowder cup. Excellent, lots of conch. Seasoned perfectly. A winner! Warm peel & eat shrimps were excellent. Fresh big ones. So good I ordered an extra order to take home. That good! A must have to share with the table. I came for Fish Tacos and ordered the fried beer battered red snapper. MP Choices were Mahi Mahi, red snapper, or Tile Fish. Excellent, excellent, wow! Too good! Will order again. My brother's wife got the Lobster Tacos and loved them. Overall a great visit. Will definitely be back for those fish Tacos. read more

I highly recommend for good sushi and high quality fish. Papas Raw Bar is very Florida coded and a great spot for lunch or dinner. It's a very fun relaxed casual vibe with friendly servers. I got a roll and was impressed by the taste and quality. The crab, tuna were flavorful and fresh. I've been here a few times now and it is consistently good. read more

To the owners you own one of the best restaurants in South Fl by far from the food to the service. Our server yesterday 07/31 McGhee was the best server we've ever had he is absolutely amazing. Papas wine is absolutely amazing. Friday nights they have lobster rolls and I can say if not the best in South Fl one of the best. Owners/managers you are all doing a great job and it shows! I've never been here and had a bad experience. Keep it up read more

When in Deerfield this is one of my favorite spots. From the service which is always so attentive , to the casual sea food shack ambience but the real star is always the food. We went on a Wednesday which is 1/2 off wines luckily and just wanted some good sushi and chowder. The clam chowder was excellent (first time I tried it). And we shared a few rolls. All the roll recommendations were excellent and we left before dessert. But I will be back for the Key lime Pie and deep fried snapper. read more

Wow, let me start off by saying I've been to many "great" seafood establishments and Papa's Raw Bar definitely takes the cake for the best one in South Florida. My wife and I enjoyed everything we ordered, the sushi, crispy rice, and wahoo bites were all 10/10, couldn't be more satisfied with their dishes. The service was also amazing, since we came in to ask for a table and our waitress Liz was super helpful in picking out drinks and food choices, she was very knowledgeable about the menu! I am definitely coming back soon, even if it's an hour drive for us! The vibes here are great and everyone who works here is super nice and attentive. I would definitely recommend anyone who wants tasty fresh seafood for a fair price! read more

Awesome place for fresh seafood. Had the red dragon roll which was absolutely delicious as well as the fish dip. My wife had a poke bowl, with brown rice which she really liked.

Loved this place! This is a fresh fish market in Lightpoint - I've never been here before but I'd certainly go back. We started our meal with drinks and fried wantons with queso - - -wow - - I've never had that combination but it's a winner! The queso was so good I literally licked the bowl (sort of). Next we ordered dinner - my friend had the snow crab legs - 40.00/pound - she loved them. I had the steamed clams - loved them - they were really quite flavorful and dunking the roll in the juice was a fabulous way to end the meal. There is valet parking, music in the evening, outdoor seating (as well as indoor) and a great bar. If you live near Lightpoint and haven't been here - you should go right now! read more

Papa's has great cocktails and sushi! We started with the Whiskey Smash and the Ship Wrecked, which is their take on an Old Fashioned. Both were balanced well & paired with proper ice--chewblet for the Smash and a large cube for the Ship. For food we ordered the Cracked Conch and the Wet Dream Roll. The conch was fresh with the perfect amount batter. The Wet Dream Roll had tempura Wahoo with seared scallops on top. We loved both of them. Overall a great experience, but one critique was the happy hour that ended at 6, before our arrival. read more

This place is incredible! Truly blown away for a restaurant in a shopping plaza. First off, the ambience has such a fun and beachy, local feel. We went on a Friday night and the live music was enjoyable. Not too loud! I mostly got sushi. Everything was delicious. I love places that have good chunks of fish and no fillers like cream cheese. You can tell that the ingredients were fresh and they had a bunch of wahoo on the menu, which is such a plus for me. And to add, there's a cute fish shop attached and owned by the restaurant. Safe to say, this is my new favorite spot! read more

I discovered this fish market and restaurant on Instagram while craving fried snapper for several months. I jokingly think my phone eavesdrops on me because it started showing me fish restaurants. Papa Raw Bar appeared on my feed multiple times, and it also showed up on my partner's feed, who then sent it to me. We decided to check it out the next time we visited Fort Lauderdale, and we weren't disappointed. The fish was fresh and plentiful. For starters, we ordered blackened swordfish bites served with seaweed salad and spicy mayo. My only complaint was that they were a bit stingy with the seaweed salad--I guess I'm just greedy, lol. The bites were delicious, and the fish was fresh and tasty. We also shared a fried snapper, which was cooked to perfection and served with several dipping sauces. Additionally, we ordered French fries and mac and cheese, and everything was delicious. The staff was friendly, and we will definitely go back to try more items from the menu. read more

As if we hadn't already had a blast parasailing, our guide suggested Papa's Raw Bar to cap off the perfect day. Service here is very friendly. I also loved that while it was cool, they weren't blasting the AC to the point we were freezing. The food was delicious, in particular the stoney rangoon made with stone crab meat. read more

This is my spot to bring out of town guest, or after a long day at work. Their food is always consistent, fresh, ingredients, and clean preparation. Laidback atmosphere which I can get behind. The sushi is well crafted for seafood lovers. The service is always on point and friendly waiters, bartenders, and host. The market on the side has great fresh seafood for purchased and items on sale for cooking at home. The swordfish bites are absolutely delish. The blackened taste pairs well with the seaweed salad on the side. The dishes ranging from Mac and cheese, fish tacos, battered shrimp, and sushi are all exceptional. There is a rewards program that allows you to get points to use for discounts on your purchase. This is a loyalty rewards program and with the economy this is such a nice treat from the business to its customer. I wish more establishments would adopt to this. This company is the real deal! Hands down one of my favorite restaurants in south Florida. Wish you could have one in Boca!! read more

Papas Raw Bar was excellent!! My boyfriend and i went about a week ago to try the oysters and once we heard about the fried snapper we knew we had to come back and give it a try. Oysters were so fresh, great bite size, and so tasty, definitely have it with the lemon and sauce. Wahoo Fish Dip is a great shareable dish , delicious and comes with all the fixings (carrots, celery, crackers). Now - The 3.5 pound Snapper. I loved how it was scored to where some chunks just slipped right off the fish. It was lightly battered and super soft. i even ate the tail and the fins, they taste just like chips. Dish also comes with a slaw. The price was $63. Maybe just thought it was a litttttlleee bit to pricey but i really can't complain about it. Our waiter Sky was very sweet and helpful. The vibe is very casual and local, good live music and "florida" vibes read more

This place is a true gem. We were visiting from California and wanted sushi. EVERYTHING that we ordered was 10/10. I had the shrimp tacos, blackened swordfish bites, and the Rangoon. I couldn't believe how good everything was. And while we were there, they had a raffle to give away prizes while raising $$ for low income families. I wish we were her longer so I could try more of the menu. I don't give out perfect rating often, but this place definitely deserves it. read more

Came to papa's late at like 9:30 and was very happy they still took us. Jake was our server and the absolute man, and we got our orders in quickly.

There's a rotation of fish and such but I'd definitely come back. read more

Came by for a quick lunch on my birthday. It was my first visit and service was very good! Parking was available right up front when I visited but the lot isn't huge and I can imagine the place filling up! I opted to sit at the bar outside, right at the entrance. My server explained their menu and HH very thoroughly. I got a dozen oysters, half dozen NOLA oysters, connected by water roll, and a strawberry mojito. Food was generally good. First oyster tasted fresh. They miscounted and only gave me 11 for my dozen but when I mentioned, I was brought one more. My first time having grilled oysters, which I thought were decent. I prefer them raw for sure but was at a price to try. The sushi roll was interesting. I am a salmon lover and there weren't any rolls that focused on just salmon. I settled for this roll which had four different fish, including salmon. I didn't love the flavor combination of this roll. Just ended up being a lot going on and couldn't taste the fish much. At least it was as filling as one would hope for a specialty roll for the price. While refreshing, my mojito was probably the only truly disappointing part of the meal. There was mint in it but it wasn't minty and tasted like 100% non-alcoholic. I can't wait to come back for some more oysters and try their stone crab. They also have a little fresh market right next door to the restaurant where you can get goods to go. read more

Every time I'm here, I say the same thing: "we need to come here more often!" The menu is very diverse, with something for everyone.

Service is excellent and the chill vibe can't be beat. read more

Every time I'm in town, my sister and brother in law always take me here. It's been a thing everytime. How can you say no to $1 oysters??? I believe it's a little more now during their happy hour. Forgot the exact price but still worth it when it's not $2-$2.50 each. Because it definitely adds up. We easily eat a dozen per person. It's not too big and not too small. Wish I knew which oysters they used. FOOD - Definitely a solid 4/5. Everything was amazing besides their sushi lol don't get me wrong, it's not bad but it's not out of this world for the price that they're charging. We ordered two rolls. One volcano roll $21 and one of their daily specials which was also around $21-$25. The volcano roll had scallops on top but not much. And it was pretty much served over a California roll lol the special roll we got was pretty much a spicy tempura with a piece of jalepeno on top lol rice needs some work. I wouldn't get their sushi here lol Other than that, everything else was FANTASTIC. Even their regular French fries were good lol French is a must if you're getting seafood. -French fries 5/5 -Mac and cheese 4/5 -oysters 4/5 -raw clams 4/5 The star of the show was the FRIED HOG FISH. My goodness it was worth every penny. I believe it was almost $60 for the fried hog fish. Close to 3lbs. It fed 4 grown adults. Fried to perfection. Crispy and meaty. Lightly seasoned. Thank you for that, Chef. We had the pleasure to be served by Hugo. He was very attentive. On point with his customer service. Was able to accommodate everything we requested for. Thanks man! read more

Went last night for my first time. Was my brothers birthday. They seated us in the Barrel Room by the sushi bar. Very cool vibe room. The whole place is very cool with many different seating areas. The food was great. We had fried shrimp with fries. The shrimp were big and fantastic. Lobster man and cheese was a big bowl and very good. The sushi rolls were also big and fresh sushi. We also had calamari and edamame appetizers, also very good. We also had the restaurant bring a brownie with dessert with candle for my bro. The brownie was fried with vanilla ice cream, chocolate fudge and whipped cream. Really Good. The 4 of us shared it and it was just enough after all the food. Definitely will go again and probably ask to try the other more surf shake vibe room where the bar is located. Also had a guy with a guitar performing outside as you entered. Also outside seating and valet parking. read more
