We hadn't been to quarterdeck in a while... but today = steak craving emergency So we came back and WOW--why did we ever stop coming?? The steak was (like, "consider ordering a second one just in case" level). Sat at the bar, great service, super chill vibe... AND plot twist: there were two ridiculously cute puppies just hanging out like they own the place Yes, we played with them. Yes, they stole the show. No regrets. Also--this place is VERY dog-friendly, which automatically makes it superior to most restaurants. And if you're smart, come on a Friday live music + good food + dogs = elite life decisions Moral of the story: came for steak, stayed for the puppies, will definitely be back. read more

Interesting "Jambalaya" at Quarterdeck Restaurants in Fort Lauderdale, Florida! Made with shrimp, chicken, andouille sausage, kale, green and red bell peppers, red onion, Cajun seasoning and fresh parsley over rice. Some of the ingredients were rather unorthodox. Also, Jambalaya is traditionally a one-pot dish and here the elements were not quite as homogenous as they should have been. For more than 50 years, Quarterdeck has been a popular South Florida sports bar. I enjoyed the laid-back vibe despite dealing with a very wobbly table and having to relocate our party. Service was reasonably friendly. read more

Came here with my sister in law and had cocktails and some type of egg rolls. There were a few deals on the bar menu. The bartender was quiet at first but opened up mid way through our visit. She really went out of her way to give my sister some gluten free options and decided on sushi that were very fresh. Good time here and will come back later for a night meal at Whiskey Neat. read more

Service was great and nice to have an indoor and patio option for seating. All of our orders came out timely and well prepared. The flavors were on point. Wish they had rice and beans with the fajitas which is usually pretty typical. There's a great vibe at Quarterdeck and I would definitely return. Let's just get those rice and beans on the fajita plates. read more

Quarterdeck is pretty much always consistent with the quality of their food. I hadn't been for Happy hour in many years but the happy hour special for food are reasonable we sat at the bar but the outdoor patio was a vibe with people playing table games and just enjoying the nice weather we had today. our bartender Dave was on point and the food was even better read more

We love Quarterdeck but unfortunately the last two times we've been have been disappointing. From the service taking forever, to finding hair in our food. The quality has gone down and it's such a shame, we love the ambiance and the fact that we can sit outdoors specially with our son but with the way things have been we're not sure if we'll be back read more

This was a super nice spot! We sat outdoors in the outside patio spot and it was glorious. Our server was attentive, fun and very helpful. This is a great spot for great cocktails and a variety of delicious food. Our food took a little bit longer than expected, but we didn't mind as we had our cocktails right away and being out in the fresh open air made our experience so much more enjoyable. I highly recommend this spot. read more

Quarterdeck Restaurants - Half rack (one rib missing) I couldn't wait for the photo lol - Seafood Near Me - Fort Lauderdale, Florida

Great restaurant to walk to from the Embassy Suites in Ft. Lauderdale. They have a very nice decor, all fishing and nautical theme. The overall ambiance is excellent. We preferred the outdoor covered seating watching the incessant rain. They have an outdoor bar and the whole place has a very relaxed vibe. The prices are slightly high. I got the tacos which cost $20, as did the order of 10 wings. The food was good though. But service was great. Our server was very nice and was patient with the kids' indecisiveness about their drinks. read more

Alexis at Quarterdeck provided fantastic service. She was friendly, attentive, and gave great recommendations. We loved the Buffalo Shrimp and Jerk Chicken Sandwich, and the Orange Crush and Raspberry Mule were both excellent. Alexis checked on us often, kept our drinks full, and made sure everything came out perfectly. Her great attitude and attentive service made for a wonderful experience. We'll definitely be back! read more

Such a wonderful overall experience! read more

Don't go for dinner if you don't want to contend with barking dogs. I don't care how good the food is or how great the service, owners who bring their barking dogs should be asked to leave or told not to return with Bow-Wow. Management may believe being pet friendly is a hook; owners with barking dogs should be asked to leave. The dogs owner should treat their their barking buddy to an evening at Barker Pet Center in the neighborhood. Owners of barking dogs and who refuse to pick up poochie's poop should be required to do kennel therapy. read more

This is not the first time that we have dined at the Quarterdeck Fort Lauderdale Location. This is the LAST time we will. The service is horrible. The servers do not care to greet you, nor do they seem to care if they provide good service. There was a long wait to even be acknowledged and offered a beverage. We requested lemons for our drinks and the lemons were dirty and appeared to be rotten. After ordering the apps and the main dishes all came out at different times. We had to request small plates to share our appetizers. The server never checked in with us to see if all items were satisfactory. The jambalaya was overly salty, the ribs were dry. At one point the server set dirty dishes down on our table from another table just to pick up a plate from us. After we were done eating we were left with the dirty dishes on our table. We were never offered coffee, dessert or additional beverages. We had to ask for a check. The carpet in the dining area is filthy. Disgusting. The bathrooms were not very clean either. There were dogs allowed inside the restaurant. This is just an honest review - very disappointing experience - similar to the visit before. Thought we had a bad night and would try it again - but this was another dining experience that should be noted. Sorry Quarterdeck, you've lost us as customers. read more

Here's a draft of your Yelp review: --- **Disappointing Experience This Time Around** I've been to this location quite a few times and have never had any issues, but this last visit was really disappointing. We came around 4 PM, and the place wasn't busy at all compared to how it usually is. Yet, the bar service was incredibly slow, which was surprising given the low crowd. Food-wise, no complaints. Everything was as fresh and tasty as always. But what really shocked me this time was the state of the bathroom. It honestly looked like it hadn't been cleaned in days. None of the stalls had toilet paper, there were tissues and toilet paper scattered all over the floor, and the garbage can in the handicap stall was absolutely filthy. It was either covered in rust or something much worse, and it was hard to ignore. I've attached photos to show what I mean. I'm sure the employees who use the bathroom have seen this, yet nothing was cleaned or restocked. My suggestion is for management to check the bathrooms more regularly and possibly change out the trash cans if they've gotten that bad. It's a small thing, but it makes a big difference. read more

First time here but my date has been here several times for lunch -- they like the steak here. Our server was nice and attentive. The food was good, we started with the stone crab chowder and it was the best seafood chowder I've had in a while. I loved the Blackened Grouper & Shrimp I recommend it if you're a seafood lubber. The poke bowl was well-balanced and flavorful the the salmon was a bit overcooked for me. I would come back for that grouper, the lemony sauce and well-seasoned potatoes were a good compliment to the already nice dish. We sat directly across the huge lit-up tree it made for a nice view and was good for photos as I saw many people taking pictures there including a birthday girl. P.S. We also had Mojitos mine was a single and I wish I had gone for the double. read more

We found this restaurant on Apple Maps, we're visiting from out of town. We ordered lobster Mac and cheese, full rack of ribs with side of Caesar salad, and calamari for take out.it didn't take more than 15 minutes to wait. The calamari didn't have marinara, but otherwise 5 stars. The food was great. Large enough portions to split everything between three people. read more

Great Fort Lauderdale location attached by an open outdoor patio to Whiskey Neat. We sat in the patio and met our server, Alex, who was polite, friendly and attentive who also provided food and drink suggestions. I checked in with Yelp and was offered a FREE Craft Cocktail which I immediately used by ordering the wife a beautiful Pink Michelle Titos cocktail. I also ordered a Burger and Philly Cheese Steak with french fries. Semi-busy with a lunch crowd but food was ready to eat in fifteen minutes. Everything was prepared perfectly. The burger was juicy and delishious. The Philly was tasty with a side of buffalo wing sauce to dip. The men's bathroom decor was great and modern but the floor was filthy and monitoring is needed. The women's bathroom lights were flickering above the stalls and one was completely out. This location's incredible ambiance in addition to a great outdoor patio, amazing food and refreshing cocktail was an excellent 4.7 and would have gave a strong 5+ hence the bathroom, easy fix, situation. read more

The food is absolutely delicious, we ordered the specials , lobster raviolis , and they were amazing! Probably one of my favorites, we also got the churrasco and it was delicious cooked to perfection , the chicken fajitas were ok, probably wouldn't get them again but only because the other items were better in my opinion , the ambiance was definitely sporty , so if you're looking to watch a game that's the place to go to . The service was definitely outstanding . Loved the overall experience read more

Kylie was great. I sat at bar, as I normally do, and told her about my "issues". She immediately had recommendations. While the stone crab chowder is wonderful the lobster bisque would be better for me. She was dead on. Moved on to the lobster mac. The flavor was amazing. The place in general is really good. I hope you run into Kylie. She absolutely enhanced my first visit to Quarterdeck! read more

What a great place! Presently surprised once we stumbled upon this restaurant one night for dinner. I ordered the Caribbean chicken sandwich and my wife ordered the chicken Caesar salad wrap. We both loved our entrees (both come with either fries or coleslaw- we got fries) The service was good, waitress was nice and attentive at first but then she was very absent for a while so we couldn't get refills or change my wife's drink since she wasn't able to drink it. Ambience was great, very pleasant for a date night. We'll be back for sure read more

This has quickly become one of our favorite spots in Fort Lauderdale! The atmosphere both inside and outside is amazing. Outside, there's a charming lawn with a beautifully lit tree and cozy firepits, and they even have an upscale bar next door that they own. Inside, the fish-themed décor, with hanging fish and tables each showcasing different fish, gives off a unique sports bar vibe with plenty of TVs to watch. The booths were really comfortable, adding to the laid-back feel. We had the stone crab soup, wings, half rack of ribs with chips ($6 special on Thursdays!), a mahi mahi sandwich with curly fries, and a side of mac and cheese. Every single dish was delicious! Our waitress was friendly, although service was a little slow, but nothing that took away from the overall great experience. We'll definitely be back and highly recommend this spot! 110% worth a visit. read more

Talk about an absolute gem! I was in for the Volleyball Championship games and of course this meant we had to try a new restaurant every night! Up first was Quarterdeck! We learned about Quarterdeck via Instagram a few weeks ago and added it to our must try list. The reservation process was support smooth and very easy to navigate. Upon arrival, the overall ambiance of the restaurant is breathtaking. The location sits off in the rear of the lot in the corner and creates a tropical oasis all its own. The courtyard seating is an absolute scene grabber as it puts you in the mindset of a tropical getaway. Well played move on the design esthetic. Upon checking in, our table was ready and we were seated immediately. Once seated we were greeted by our waitress, Julia who was all smiles and bubbly cheer. Julia welcomed our group to the restaurant and set the tone for what the night would be. As you can imagine, the menu has something for everyone. Though known for their seafood, Quarterdeck has a collection of food favorites that fit any appetite. I was hungry and torn between the Chicken Caesar Wrap or the Buffalo Chicken Sandwich. Per Julia's suggestion I decided on the Buffalo Chicken Sandwich with an upgraded side of Onion Rings! Boy oh boy! Julia was spot on with her recommendation. The Sandwich: Let me begin by saying that this sandwich is massive. The split chicken breast takes over the bun and is fitting for a full meal. The meat was moist and meaty on the inside with a crunchy not too wet outside. I chose the "Hot" and was very pleased with the spice it provided. Though it was the "hot" flavor, that did not overpower the actual seasoning of the meat that was tongue pleasing. This sandwich gets a 10/10! The Side: I ordered my onion rings well done and the cook understood the assignment. Not only were they perfectly golden, fried to crunchy perfection, they had the perfect batter to onion ratio. If you're a true onion ring eater you understand the importance of having that balance. Another 10/10. Overall, Quarterdeck is an awesome establishment ideal for a group outing or date night. The ambiance it delivers allows you to blend your vibe with the natural mellow tone of the restaurant and make it an enjoyable experience. Also, special shout out to Julia for her service! She was truly a great representation of the brand. read more
