Everything we ordered was amazing! The BLT&C was great (I'm from Maryland and was not at all disappointed by the crabcake) My personal favorite though was the comfort bowl (aka lobster mac n cheese with sriracha) I would recommend splitting it though unless you work out a ton or you have an amazing metabolism.

My husband and I went last night, Friday at 5:00. They do not take reservations for parties of 2. We were given a 30 minute wait time that turned into 45. They have a beautiful area to wait by the water so we didn't mind at all. The valet and hostess staff was very pleasant. We were seated in a beautiful spot over looking the water but the tables are super tight and it is loud. Alex was our water and he was wonderful, very knowledgeable and friendly. I ordered the the lobster roll and my husband order the the Comfort bowl with sausage. The lobster was wonderful and there was a lot of it. My husband loved his bowl, the taste was decadent and super rich. We took home a slice of the coconut pie and chocolate pretzel pie and they were also outstanding! We will be back again for sure. It's a great place to bring out of town guest just be ready to wait. Ask for Alex he was great!

Fun place!! Great casual atmosphere and scenery. The staff is really friendly, and the food is tasty. The scoobies are sooo good...deliciously unhealthy! haha On Fridays and Saturdays, there is usually a significant wait of at least an hour. I like the option of hanging out at the bar, but even that gets crazy crowded, and there's not a lot of place to sit or stand. I'm glad it's successful, but I wish they'd add some more seating or something.

Favorite seafood restaurant in all of Fort Lauderdale. The locals only known app is about the best thing ever! Great views, service - I love this place.

Let's talk about these Scoobies. Oh, and the blackened Mahi...oh, and the Crab cakes. All of it was excellent. All. Of. It. We arrived around seven and though the place was jumping, it's pretty big so we were seared immediately. We opted to al fresco, but after a while we wished we hadn't since the horse flies were clearly experiencing roid rage. Yeah, they were juicing. Ordered the Scoobies to start and after biting into the first piece of claw meat, I began to wish I had a bucketful. It was so good! The olive oil was infused with garlic, green onion and red pepper. Yum! Our meals came shortly afterward and they were both really good. I was pleased with my portion size and my husband was also. My Mahi was fresh and perfectly cooked. I didn't taste my husband's food, but he was happy with it. It's a pretty decent value. I did notice, as mentioned before, many of their items are a la carte. I think the place is priced a bit higher than expected. Service was good. Bottom line, I'll definitely be back.

Pros: - Fresh and authentic seafood - Good vibe and ambiance - Friendly staff - Valet parking - Great view if you sit outside Cons: - Too crowded, so make reservations Recommendation: I went to Coconuts for the first time for my birthday this year, and I'm glad I did. I made reservations beforehand and once we got there, I realized that I did the right thing: There were people out the door just waiting to be seated. We started off with Gator-ribs as appetizer and I highly recommend it. Their lobster Sandwich and Scoobies are good as well. As sides, you won't go wrong with deviled eggs or fries. For dessert, try out their coconut cheesecake and to wet your beaks, have the Mandarin Orange soda. Conclusion: Overall it was a good experience, and the staff was friendly and accommodating: something I pay attention to when I eat out. They have "Be Nice!" printed everywhere and seems like they live by it. I'll be returning for sure.

WOW, just wow! Awesome dining experience--salty, savory, and VERY fresh seafood with heavenly views of the pier and service to match! I really regret to say that I do not remember the name of our waiter, but he was outstanding! Asked if we have been there before, gave an extensive description of all the specials, just a genuine dude who was very attentive on the busy weekend. I ordered one of the specials, 1 whole crab (just the inners dissected, but whole crustacean), freshly caught, battered and fried w/ lettuce, tomato, tartar sauce, in between 2 bread buns. I would rather have had it NOT fried to make it lighter but it was still excellent! It comes with a side of your choice, in which I opted for the french fries. My date and I shared the coconut shrimp. I LOVE coconut shrimp, so why I have not granted that 1 extra star is because it was of disappointment. We both agreed we tasted no hint of coconut whatsoever, but the shrimp was plump--sauce on the side appeared very flavorful, but taste, did not match. It wasn't "bad" per say, but a bit boring. BE NICE, and treat a loved one to this staple of 365 days of summer!

At Coconuts, you get amazing food in a relaxed, friendly atmosphere. We already knew that we were already off to a good start when they offered complementary freshly made caramel pretzel donuts when we walked up on the porch. Our table got a couple of the blue crab "scoobie" appetizers which was good but anything with that spicy garlic butter sauce would be amazing. We also ordered a plate of their blueberry pancakes for the table which I loved. The texture of the pancakes were perfect-- nice and fluffy with a little bit of crunch from the corn meal.They were also gigantic! The one plate of pancakes was plenty for our whole table of 8 to happily nibble on. I ordered their seafood frittata which I thought was delicious. They packed soo much crab, lobster, and shrimp into it and it was all cooked perfectly. Their lobster benedict was also delicious and they give a huge portion of lobster. There wasn't a dish on the table that wasn't great. Regardless of what you order, you'll leave happily. Definitely a must when you are in the Ft Lauderdale area!

One of my favorite Happy Hours. 4-6 pm Bottles of wine are half price and so are selected appetizers. We always get the peel and eat shrimp and the smoked fish dip. It's enough for dinner so we usually stop at that. BUT NOW on Tuesday and Friday they are creating a huge paella on an outdoor grill at 6:30,, ready to eat in an hour and sells out quickly. Next time we may have to skip happy hour and do the paella. The Intracoastal views only make this experience even more enjoyable.

I came to this restaurant because I saw it rated highly on yelp... So I figured it had to be good. However, my experience was quite the contrary. I ordered the ever popular lobster roll and, in the moment, it was amazing. However, the war zone that ensued later in my bathroom that night attested to the fact that my stomach didn't approve of the roll as much as my mouth did. I ended up vomiting 3 times and I felt terrible over the course of the next few days. On the bright side, the appetizers and sides were good & the service was great.

This is a review of their HAPPY HOUR. We found it to be disappointing, not enough choices of appetizers and the drinks are not a real happy hour bargain. One Martini, One beer, Crab leg app $17, way overpriced, Coconut shrimp with sauce, Fish tacos... So 3 apps, a martini and a beer seems a bit expensive at $55 + tip. The wait staff are excellent, the setting is very nice....but HOT..need more fans, the outside area was overrun with flies...not pleasant There are much better happy hours....so far all the others we've tried have been better.

I have been going to Coconuts for years and always enjoy my dining experience. Last time I went was on a Saturday for lunch. We got a table right on the water. It is warm to sit along dock during summer because the fans are in the upper deck area, not along the dock. I always get the devil eggs. There are 3 (half) eggs for $4. They are yummy. I also had the veggie side of the day which was sliced cucumber in a sweet vinegar dressing. In the past I have had the mac and cheese and baby back ribs which are excellent. Fish dip is good too. They offer free valet. It is a locals and tourist spot. I will continue to visit Coconuts for the ambiance and food.

Annie J.

This is my favorite place in all of south Florida, hands down! Great location by the FLL beach facing the dock, classy crowd, knowledgeable and friendly staff, farm to table kind of food, uppety bar next door, affordable.... Ummm this place is heaven on earth!!! The snow crab scoobies are a must have!!! The wings, crab blt, heirloom tomatoes are very good. They have gourmet dishes and are innovative with the menu. If you find yourself waiting which is likely, The oyster bar next door has good sardines and oysters on ice, pair it up with a nice white wines and watch the boats enter and leave the dock by the patio! This is a special place and elevates ft lauderdale beach restaurants on the marine drive. Be Nice and come back now !

I can't believe I haven't reviewed Coconuts yet. I've been here on every trip to Fort Lauderdale and always have it on my "must visit list" when I'm in the area. The wait on the weekends can be a bit insane... the valet asked us if we had a reservation and we said no and he practically laughed at us saying that it was a 90 minute wait. The next day we called to make a reservation and they indicated they don't take them for parties of less than 5... kind of confusing since the valet asked the 4 of us if we had a reservation but no worries. Dining outside is much more appealing than in - the inside is fairly dated looking but it's certainly cooler. It can be quite hot on the outer part of the outside dining area (right on the water)... much cooler if you are right next to the restaurant where they have the misters. But the views are great and I loved watching the chartered fishing boats come in while we drank our wine just before sunset. Our waitress talked us into the scoobies and we were glad she did -- they were excellent and my first scooby experience! I'm also a huge fan of the coconut shrimp. The conch fritters weren't as good as a remembered... very doughy but still had a good amount of conch flavor. My husband and I also had the mahi (the catch of the day) and it was excellently prepared however I would have liked to know the price before ordering (I guess shame on me for not asking). It was worth every penny but startling when you see that you just paid $31 for a piece of fish and nothing else (delicious as it was!) They have some solid deals as well; half price bottles of wine on Tuesday nights, half price appetizers during happy hour and a half dozen oysters for 7 bucks (Chesapeake, VA). The oysters were certainly good but not nearly as good as oysters we are used to here in the NE (I'd recommend the Barnstable or Narragansett oysters.) Overall, still a favorite in the area. It's close to the beach but not so close that you feel like you've been sucked into another tourist trap. They do what they do well and from now until next time I'm in the area I will be dreaming about those scoobies.

Excellent sea food and service. Our waiter Noah is great not only in recommending the seafood dishes but great in entertaining our group. Definitely would recommend anyone who visit Fort Lauderdale. Price is reasonable for the quality of food you are getting.

I had been to Coconuts several years ago, so this was my first time back in a while. Sam and I chose Coconuts for our date night because we really wanted to go to a restaurant on the water. Coconuts seemed like the perfect option. We drove to Coconuts and had no problem valeting the car (it's complimentary valet too!). The restaurant seemed super packed (it was a Friday evening), so we expected to have a long wait. We were told 45 minutes, but I believe it ended up being closer to 25 minutes. We were seated at a really nice table just feet from the water. We put in our drink orders immediately. Our waitress was super nice, but since they were so busy it took forever for her to get our appetizers order and even longer for her to get our entrÃ©e orders. We ordered conch fritters for the app and Sam got the lobster roll with fries and I got the comfort bowl with chicken. The conch fritters took a little while to come out, but again that can be chalked up to how busy they were. The conch fritters were delicious!! Sam and I both had 2 and split the fifth. I seriously thought he would be greedy and take the fifth, and I wouldn't have blamed him because they were so good, but he ended up sharing with me! The flavors mixed into the conch fritter dough were out of this world. The dipping sauce was also super tasty. Our entrees didn't take too long to come out. I thought we'd have to wait forever based on how long the fritters took, but that wasn't the case. I immediately dug into my comfort bowl. Super delicious! It was like Velveeta shells for grown ups! I really liked the kick that came from the sriracha that was mixed in. I couldn't stop eating it was so good. The portion was huge though, so I required Sam's help to finish it. I would definitely order it again. Sam thoroughly enjoyed his lobster roll too. We were both super stuffed, so we passed on dessert, but from what I remember from my last visit years ago, the key lime pie is worth trying. Sam and I had a great time! I'm sure we will be back soon.

Came to Ft. Lauderdale on a mini vacay. My boyfriend had Cobia and I had the Comfort Bowl pasta with lobster. My bowl had huge chunks of lobster and was delicious. My boyfriend said the Cobia fish was just ok. Our server German was friendly, fast, and knew the menu well. The view of the intercoastal from the patio was gorgeous. I would definitely come back when I'm in the area again.

Went with my friends after a race in Fort Lauderdale for the Sunday Brunch. It was nice, service was a little slow, but I am going to say that was because of the large rush that came in after the run. The food was good, a little pricy, but there was a lot of it. Not a single person in our group managed to finish all their food so we all ended up with take-home doggie bags (which is not bad, my doggie was happy) t was a little noisy so we couldn't really hear each other, thankfully we sat outside, cuz inside we would have never heard a thing. Not a bad little spot overall and I would go back again for Sunday Brunch if at Fort Lauderdale Beach.

I went into this experience skeptical. I brought Elizabeth here for a date night on Friday. I was uneasy after seeing that they charge you if you leave their property after valeting your car. (I mean it makes total sense, but I don't like feeling trapped :-o) At least the valet is free. (+ tip) Upon arriving we were told that there would be a 45-60 minute wait for a table. The wait ended up being only about 25 minutes or so. I started to look over the menu and was kind of mad about the prices. I was actually tempted to leave before our table was ready. If you get a lobster roll, they don't even include a side at $17. Fries are $3 extra. Upon inspection of yelp pictures, the roll appeared to be quite small. I decided to fight my 'cheap' instincts and just give it a try. I had the conch fritters and gave in to trying lobster roll with fries. Lobster happens to be my favorite food, so it would be difficult for me to turn away an opportunity to try it here! The conch fritters were great! They had a wonderful ratio of fried 'whatever' to conch pieces. (I'm not a fritter expert, or even a great cook for that matter) I have tried conch fritters at a number of locations. These were second only to the best that I've ever tried at Tradewinds Resort Hotel in St. Pete Beach. The lobster roll was very good. But, how hard is it to chop up a lobster and put it in a hot dog bun with some mayo? Did I mention that I LOVE LOBSTER? The size of the sandwich was actually not too bad. The view was great. I love eating near water. Our table was seated perfectly next to the marina and offered a great sunset view. Always a nice bonus. Elizabeth thoroughly enjoyed her meal. I'm sure you'll hear about it in her review! In closing, this place is somewhere I will definitely try again. My only issue is really with the pricing. It's kind of a beach shack style/ laid back place. The pricing is more to scale with just under fine dining.

As a Fort Lauderdale Native, I Absolutely LOVE Coconuts. It encompasses everything that is Fort Lauderdale including a laid back atmosphere, beautiful scenery, friendly people and great food. We come here about 2-3 times a month and have never had a bad experience. The food is great (scoobies and steak salad are my "go-to"), the service is awesome and the view can not be topped. They also have some awesome drinks including my favorite the Blackberry Mojito. It is delicious! My husband and his friends order the oyster shooters (a shot with an oyster inside). To me that sounds like something I would only do when competing in a TV game show for a million dollars, but they swear they are awesome. The food is always cooked just right and is very fresh! We will keep coming back.

First, we loved their waiting area which is outside patio with waterfront view. You can order drinks and enjoy your time while waiting. We went on Sunday evening and waited about an hour to get sitted. So be prepared! I ordered lobster philly cheese sandwich. Omg! Its a die for!!! Highly recommend the place and will get back another day for sure!

I miss this place already!!! A short jaunt to the FL seaside and lucky us our hotel was walking distance to Coconuts. The menu and waterside dining appealed to us, but it was the Monday & Tuesday half price bottle of wine special that sold us! Their list is fantastic, truly something for everyone and their regular prices are totally reasonable, half price night meant we were basically paying market price...WIN! Monday was a ProvenÃ§al rosÃ© paired with Scooby snacks...delicious butter/garlic/parsley dipping sauce and juicy stone crab claw meat with fresh soft white bread for dunking. Striped bass special for me with a side of yummy deviled eggs, and jambalaya for hubby which had a nice spicy roux for the base and tons of chorizo and seafood. Our server Ana was top notch, she sold us on their coconut cheese cake...graham cracker and toasted coconut crust and topped with berry sauce...we paired this with a sparkling Italian rosÃ© and I wish I'd taken a pic of their super cute champagne flutes, long tall cylinders that were prechilled. We left stuffed and happy! Tuesday we came a bit earlier to take advantage of half price oysters for happy hour. We requested to sit in Ana's section and ended up at the same table as the night before :) once again Ana took wonderful care of us. French Muscadet paired wonderfully with the VA house oysters and absolutely HUGE peel and eat shrimp. Tuesday's is paella night and hubby devoured his, it was huge and filled with lobster, shrimp, chicken, green beans and bell peppers. I had the amazing scallop special, topped with pesto and paired with an arugula salad and a giant slice of heirloom tomato. So.Darn.Good! Entrees were paired with a wonderful Sancerre, we were happy campers once again. Both nights we enjoyed watching the boats come and go on the waterway, and unbelievable sunsets. Amazing service, food, location...what else could you want? Can't wait to return!

Dropped in for some lunch today. Great outdoor seating overlooking the water. Nice, casual restaurant with convenient complimentary valet (***but make sure not to leave the premise because you will be charged a fee. . Today it was $50.) Tried a few things today: -(Special) Lobster and corn fritter served on a bun with tomato, lettuce, pickles, and tartar sauce. Dish came with your option of 1 side. I decided to try the cucumber salad. -(Special) Half order of jumbo snow crab claws. -Coconut Shrimp platter with your choice of 2 sides. My choices were fries and tomato with basil and balsamic vinegar. -Scoobies served in a bath of garlic, oil, chili pepper flakes and a small loaf of bread. I'm not a fan of eating crabs and getting my hands dirty... BUT the crabs here were so yummy! The jumbo claws were big, meaty, and sweet. Then the scoobies in the spicy garlic oil were also addicting. I didn't mind getting my hands dirty and I could've easily eaten these all day. Overall, great fresh seafood.... beautiful outdoor view... wonderful service.

This place is AMAZING!!! Every time I'm in Fort Lauderdale I go here! The food is always good no matter what you have and so is the service! Even if they are packed, which at night on the weekend they often are, it is always good food and good service! I highly recommend their blended mojitos and the sandabs appetizer! You will never have a mojito like theirs and all the food really is to die for good! I will continue to come here every time I'm in town!

I've been to a fair number of beaches in my day and, frankly, most of the time the restaurants at the shore are sub-par, meh-food, overpriced establishments. Not the case with Coconuts! This place is not only surprisingly clean considering how close it is to the beach (seriously, how do they keep the floors and bathrooms so sand free?), but the food and service were totally solid. Our server, Rue, was extremely friendly and helpful - navigating us through the Coconuts menu and the GB menu from next door (you can order from there, too). Coconuts is great about making substitutions and changes to your order, so I was thrilled to order up the coconut shrimp entree with mac n cheese and cucumber salad instead of fries! The shrimp (and accompanying dipping sauce) were huge and delicious. Perfectly coconutty crispy and tender. Both sides were also tasty - extra points for a refreshing cucumber salad and nicely textured mac n cheese. I also throughly enjoyed the pimento cheese dip our table sampled before our entrees. The offerings are diverse, the staff helpful and cheery, and while it's a bit in the pricy side (a salad runs $13-$16 and much more with protein), the food is super fresh and delicious. Coconuts is my jam.

Situated on the waterfront, Coconuts has a raw bar section and a restaurant section. Dine outside and enjoy the great views of the intercoastal waterway. Service was delivered by a team of people, and it seemed like every chance they had to help someone new was at the table either delivering food, refilling drinks or just asking how they could help. Overall, the food here is excellent, my go-to is the scooby appetizer and coconut shrimp platter. Complimentary valet parking lot right next to the restaurant is very handy. It will cost ya $10.00 if you walk off to the beach etc.

Cleve E.

Ok. I don't have a lot of time, but it would be wrong not to say something about Coconuts. Fantastic! The best food and service I have had in years. Atmosphere, great. Service, great. Food, out of this world. The best smoked fish dip ever. Shrimp was perfect. All I have time for now. But I'll be back!!!

I'm giving this place four stars because of the service. The waitress was extremely attentive even though it was brunch, I wasn't expecting such great service. To start we sat outside although it was very hot the fans with cool air was a good touch and the view was amazing. As far as the food we really enjoyed their mojitos my favorite was the blackberry mojito. The tomatoes were off, not sure if they were sitting out for a while or maybe because of the hot weather but we didn't like them at all. I love tomatoes and eat them all the time so as soon as I tasted them I knew something was wrong. The fries were delicious, very crunchy and perfect golden crust. The crab cake salad wasn't our favorite either. It was dry and again the tomatoes in it just made it impossible to eat. We also enjoyed the fish taco minus the tomatoes we removed. I hope that next time my experience is better here. The manager, Jen did come to our table and apologize with an espresso. It didn't make up for the terrible ingredients in some of our food but it did help :)

I can see what all the hoopla is about. 4 stars with over 700+ reviews means they are doing something right. We first tried to go on a Thursday night around 7pm and were told it was an hour+ wait for the two of us. Thanks but no thanks, we'll try again tomorrow. On Friday we got a bit smarter and went at 5pm where we were able to walk right in and be seated immediately. For appetizers the wife and I had the crab claw scoobies and the conch fritters. Both were really, really tasty. No complaints about either, and I wish I had a plate of each in front of me right now instead of this small bag of trail mix. For entrees, my wife had the lobster roll which she liked (and I enjoyed my taste of as well). My only regret is that I ordered the jambalaya. It wasn't bad, it was just a mistake in choosing on my part. Here is what happened: I saw 'paella' on the board out front and had my heart set on that. I didn't think anything of it when the waiter didn't mention it in the day's specials. However, when I ordered it, he said it wouldn't be ready for another hour. So, I hastily looked back at the menu, and he suggested jambalaya is fairly close to it and might be a good substitute. I went with it. The jambalaya was fine, but most jambalaya is fine. I should have had a backup order already in my head, such as the whole snapper or other special from the menu. Don't be like me, plan ahead! My wife also had some mango and mint drink which she really loved, so get some of that in you.

I came here with Adriana S. for brunch. I wasn't aware they had valet parking because I was trying to make it on time and didn't bother checking. Next time, I will definitely use their free valet parking service. It's very convenient when you don't have to circle around trying to find a parking spot. It's also easy to find. It's just past Las Olas Blvd, heading south on Seabreeze Blvd. It's on the right. The sign is large, so you probably won't miss it. By the time I arrived, Adriana had already put us on the list for a table. We waited for a few minutes to be seated. We sat outside near the water, although on the top level of the deck and not the lower level. The lower deck is directly under the sun. Even with the umbrellas shading the diners from the sun, it is probably grueling. I'm extremely thankful for sitting on the upper deck because it was HOT! It's relaxing to sit right next to the intracoastal, without the wind whipping everything around off of the beach. First, let me say this, the service was excellent. Our servers, whose names have slipped into the abyss, were knowledgeable, friendly, and on top of everything. We didn't sit without our water glasses being refilled and the food came out within an extremely short period of time. The kitchen staff cooked everything to perfection. Simply excellent. Of course, this is only for brunch. I didn't try anything off of the lunch/dinner menu. I will have to come back to give that a try in the future. I had a mimosa. It was okay. I don't normally order mimosas. I just decided to do something different for a change. I probably wouldn't order it again. There wasn't anything special about it. I stuck with water after the mimosa because it was pretty hot outside. The food was excellent. I had the vegetable frittata. It came with asparagus, leeks, tomatoes, peppers, and was topped with Swiss cheese. It was cooked exactly how I would have cooked it at home. I'm particular about how my eggs are cooked. I don't like them to be runny when they're supposed to be firm. A big thumbs up from me for the frittata! It was also extremely large. I couldn't finish it. The cheesy grits were made with cheddar. I love cheddar and pretty much any cheese except for processed cheeses. I can't eat those because, well, they're absolutely disgusting. The grits didn't need anything added to them. I didn't even add salt! Yum! The miniature doughnuts were my absolute favorite. They were freshly made, with honey drizzled over the top. The finishing touch was the coconut flakes sprinkled over them. They were light, flaky, and subtly sweet. I could have finished the entire plate! The price wasn't too bad, even though I think the charge for the mimosa was a bit steep considering it was almost half the cost of my meal. After everything, it was a pleasant experience and I shall return in the future to check out their lunch/dinner menu.

I loved the service. I loved the fish it was very fresh. I loved the atmosphere. I'd highly recommend having dinner here as well as drinks. Good job guys!!! See you all soon. Also although this is mainly fish and seafood in the menu; don't be afraid to try the deserts!!! It's worth it.

We had a delicious brunch today!! Nice surprise they had complimentary donuts outside while waiting for our table; yum! Wait was to be 30 to 40 mins, and in about 15, our table was ready!! We sat outside on this very hot day, and the breeze was fantastic! View was very pretty with all of the boats. Our waitress Kelly rocked!! She was very knowledgeable about the menu, and very friendly as well! She had no problem doing separate checks for our group of 7 which we appreciated! Our server Conner was also great and friendly! Brunch was fantastic! I had the seafood quiche; very rich and filling and wonderful!! We will definitely be coming back to try other menu items! Even though they do not take brunch reservations, as long as you know ahead of time, so you pack your patience, all is fine, and we were too busy enjoying our free donuts and the beautiful view to even notice :)

I love the place - you have lots of seating inside and outside. We chose to seat next to the river, where it was warmer but the view is better (+ you get to see the big fish swimming around) The staff was nice, recommended us the crab's claw appetizer ($17) - can't remember the exact name but it's one of their specialty and it was worth it. Took the mahi salad ($16) which was fresh, tasted good and came in a decent size. Coconuts is a few minutes walk from the beach but not in the main beach facing restaurant area so without yelp I would never have heard of it. I tried a few restaurants in the area during my trip and this would be my second favorite.

Amazing experiance first time in Ft Lauderdale. .. Emilio was our waiter and he was Amazing...we got the snow crab (scobbies) it was yummy but in didn't care much for it ... I order the crab cakes over a house salad...Emilio recommend the Moonshoal oyster from Cape cod bay and the Naked cowboy from Long Island and they were beyond amazing....Then finally was the coconut chees cake I swear it was worth every bite it's a MUST!!!!

Great location; it's by the water. There is an oyster bar connected to this restaurant as well. Order the a scooby snacks. It's amazing and not on the menu, but it's the crab claws in garlic sauce. I devoured it. The oysters are a little pricey for my liking and I liked the oysters from the east than the ones from the west. The lobster roll is delicious!!! The ribeye was also on point; my best friend did a surf and turf with steak and lobster. (That isn't on the menu, but you can ask to make one.) The food was pricey. It was delicious but it wasn't anything too spectacular. I will definitely go back for the Scooby snacks but that's it. The service was pretty good as well.

Food was very good, service was ok. Location is good and valet parking is a perk but the crowd is a little overwhelming and a tad pricey

So very close to 5 stars. Honestly the only reason why I didn't give it 5 stars on my first visit was the service at the beginning. We waited about 10 minutes before we were ask what we would like to drink. The tables around us were being served before us even though we had been there longer then them. Other than that. Great experience as a whole. We were seated fast and the food was really really good. The outside view was great. We ordered 2 apps and one main dish. Plenty for two people. We ordered the $12 smoked fish dip. It came with saltine crackers and a very spicy jalapeÃ±o side of some sort. The fish was delicious but for $12 it seemed as though it was a bit much for the amount you received. It was equivalent of about 1 ice cream scoop. I would say it was worth $10. But I would get again. The 2nd app was the snow crab pinchers. Many people have included pics of these and for $17 they were worth every bit. They do come with French bread that you can dip into the buttery magic they sautÃ© the claws in. Watch out if you are counting calories. This will kill any diet :) For the main course we shared the blackend mahi mahi with fries. $27. Worth it. On point. Delicious. Fresh. Perfectly seasoned. Will order again. They give you a side of tartar sauce with the fish, don't you dare use it!!! Even the fries were delicious. We will be back for sure!!

The Food: 5 stars for Coconuts, had the Crab Cake, absolutely delicious, wife had the Lobster Club. Portions were a good size also. Highly recommend. The View: 5 stars if you are overlooking the canal and yachts all day long. Be prepared to wait during weekends.

A Fort Lauderdale MUST! Menu is small. It's pretty straight forward. They do a handful of things and have a handful of specials. So if you're the type who wants what she wants a huge variety and won't budge, this place may not be for you. But if you're like me and like to listen to specials and go for your waiter's recommendation, then run over to Coconuts! We started off our meal with one of their appetizer specials. It was stone crab claws in a garlic butter sauce. It had a name-- I just don't remember it... but oh man!!! These were delicious! Roasted garlic slices swimming in a slightly spicy clarified butter sauce.. yumm! Super luscious and was a perfect start to our meal. They give you bread for dunking and easily could have carb overloaded myself! Nommm! We then ordered oysters. DUH! We had to try them! G&B Oyster Bar only opens during dinner time during the weekdays but during the day time, you can still get their oysters form Coconuts. These were amazing! Fresh and just the perfect size! I could have easily eaten a dozen myself. Our waitress suggested the CBLT-- crab cake BLT essentially and it was a great sandwich. No complaints here. Crinkle cut fries served alongside were nice and crispy. Perfection! I strongly suggest this place to try for lunch. Atmosphere is great. Outdoor bayside casual dining at it's finest. It's seafood peeps, so expect to pay for your freshness!

I must say, I wasn't very impressed with the menu as I expected many fish entree items...but the specials saved the day. I had the corvina fish special which was a perfectly blackened piece of fish over basmati rice with a very light soy glaze. The size of the fish was very pleasing and I was more than full when I finished. The bartender, Colleen, was extremely friendly and helpful describing the menu and providing suggestions. They were extremely busy, but the service was still great. I also tasted the cheesecake as my bar neighbor ordered it - wow, was this amazing!! It almost tastes like a coconut cream pie, but a little bit thicker which makes you question if it's cheesecake or coconut cream pie...but this is perfect for me as cheesecake is often too heavy for my liking. I will definitely return, but will either go for lunch as their menu seems more accommodating for lunch, or keep my fingers crossed on the specials.

Sadly, my second visit here didn't live up to the first. My boyfriend and I arrived here on a late Sunday afternoon and just like the first time, there were people waiting outside the restaurant to be seated. We were told the wait would be 45 minutes, and that was a pretty true wait time. I still ordered the conch fritters as an appetizer and we loved them; they are still delicious. For my main, I decided to try something different and ordered the coconut shrimp platter. This platter was huge! Loaded with eight giant shrimp, this also came with a side of crinkle fries and coleslaw. The shrimp was perfectly breaded with fresh coconut, and the flavor is obvious with every bite. The fries are great and the coleslaw is delicious. The boyfriend ordered fish tacos and he loved them as well. My only qualm about this second visit is the service. Whereas my first visit here, we received excellent service, my most recent visit didn't live up to the standards I had in mind. Our server seemed to be highly distracted most of the time, nearly rushed us through ordering, and ended up giving us the wrong appetizer. I'm still a fan because I realize it's not the establishment's fault and even the best servers have bad days, but this was an area that could definitely be improved my second time around.

Sunday brunch was delicious. Our waitress was very knowledgeable about the options. The peach pureed bellinis were refreshing and chicken and waffles hit the spot. The appetizer was crisp tiny Donuts with almond slivers. Someone had a Bichon Frise pup with them on the balcony overlooking the marina. Lovely morning!

Vivi N.

This place would've gotten all 5 stars if our wait wasn't longer than anticipated. I decided to come here because of all the great reviews from yelp. Let's start here- we came around 1230 for Sunday brunch. The wait was approximately 45 minutes. While waiting, they offer free complimentary mini donuts, which were yummy! Reminds me of beignets from New Orleans. After waiting and checking the time, the hostess somehow missed us after we saw few people who arrived after us get a table first. She seated is immediately once I mentioned it to her and was extremely apologetic. We sat by the water with the view of the yachts. We started off with watermelon margarita. Extremely refreshing. Our appetizers were few oysters to sample. Extremely sweet and pretty good size. For the main meal, we had lobster rolls with cucumber salad. Everything I expected! The bread was soft and they were generous of the lobster portion. This is a place I would definitely come again when visiting Fort Lauderdale.

Michael R.

Came back a second time. Ordered the Fresh Swordfish that was grilled to perfection!! Wow it was so good and a nice piece too like 12 oz at least. Definitely worth the $32 price tag.....it was that GOOD. No appetizer this time - just straight to the point.
(5)
Jodi C.

So here's the issue...waiting to get into this place is RIDICULOUS! I've been here 3 times to try to get in. It's literally an hour wait every time! Grrr. Once you get in the food is amazing, Had the lobster roll...DEEELICIOUS. Service could of been better, it's a bit slow and we had to keep stopping various waiters to get service. The view (on the dock) is simply divine and it was a gorgeous evening which made it even better. So in short service 2.5, Food 5. View 5. Waiting time 0.

Martise C.

This place was amazing! It is very nice and has great spaces both indoor and outdoor to enjoys enjoy some of there delicious food. I sat at the bar since it was just me and the wait for a table was 45 mins.. .on a MONDAY! The bar was perfect for me as the people were nice and attentive and the service was fast. I ordered the jambalaya and if you like spicy....this is the dish for you!!!! It comes with shrimp, chicken and sausage and it one of the best things I've ever eaten! Its full of flavor and doesn't leave you wanting for anything...its all in there and in generous portions. The spice did start to get to me after a whlie and I drank like 3 glasses of water, but it was worth it!!! I will definitely be back!

Kathy V.

This place is great! Coconut shrimp and lobster roll were fantastic. We went fishing in the morning and you're able to bring it here and they cook it for you either grilled or blackened for a fee. We chose blackened and it was amazing! View is spectacular and service is on point! Definitely coming back. New favorite spot!

Henrique M.

Everything in this place is amazing: the view, the food, the service, beer list (ask for the oyster bar's beer list), etc. Classic american seafood prepared with their own twist. The fish are as fresh as they can get. The server always has great suggestions on the fish of the day, which they claim are never frozen. The flash fried snapper is big and greasy, but definitely a MUST! My wife loves the lobster saldad with the dressing on the side. She says the salad is good that no dressing is really needed. The crab scoobies appetizer are delicious. Great oyster selection next door after 5pm I believe. The only thing I have ordered and found not to be great are the conch fritters. They are basically a ball of fried dough with a hint of conch. Don't miss checking out the boat deck for magnificent views of the ICW and if lucky you can spot a school of tarpon, with one as big as myself!

A short 20 minute wait by the bar and we were greeted by more than one of the bartenders, both of whom are amazingly friendly. We weren't extremely hungry, and decided to have a few appetizers in a tapas setting over some drinks, which worked out beautifully. The lobster rolls were nothing short of amazing. The Scoobies crab tasted like a crab scampi, basically to die for. The coconut shrimp was on par to JB's on the beach (who have one of the best in South Florida). I wasn't too crazy about the conch fritters batter/conch ratio which seem to be a Yelp favorite. The sauce, however, was amazing. Minus one star because of one of the valet guys who was wayyyy too thirsty for a tip (for a car he didn't even have to pull out for me). He basically stood there expecting/suggested $20. I gave him a $5 for him to get the heck away from me (I also tipped $5 to the first guy who parked my car, who was extremely nice). I only wish I asked their names so I could give em the praise/blast that they each deserve. I will definitely be back here to try the entrees!

Great service. Great location. Great food. Great drinks. Went here with friends on a Sunday night. The place was packed and there was a 1 hour wait. The bartender saw us, waved 4 fingers in the air and motioned us to 4 seats at the bar. No more 1 hour wait :-) They have a great selection of wine and although the food menu is limited, the food they conjur up is absolutely top notch. For dinner our party ordered jumbalaya, skirtsteak, crab cakes, and the comfort siracha pasta. I sampled all dishes and each one was nothing less than exceptional. The restaurant is located in or next to a marina so the atmosphere is perfect. There is indoor and outdoor seating, and our seats at the bar were outside. I have nothing but god things to say about Coconuts. If you have a chance, check this place out!

Nate H.

Can't beat the view, and the seafood is awesome! Love the salads, and the best frozen mango mojito (outside of my house!). Professional service but confusing valet. It's supposed to be free for dining guests, but there is a pay sign to keep beach people out. I wonder if they take money from the patrons unless you mention it...?

The wait is long on a Sunday so get there early or make a reservation. Mimosa was really good and so was the dark and stormy. A drink you can not find every. Shrimp and grits yummy

Went with a group of eight for Sunday brunch. Not sure what happened, we called about 2 weeks before and weren't able to get reservations. Anyway at 11:15 we arrived and we seated inside right away (were told it was a 60 minute wait for an outside table). They do have a few bars so if you aren't dead set on eating at a certain time you can wait and have drinks. Our server Lynn was really good with our larger group. She brought over a little tray of about 8 (complimentary donuts) to hold us over while we were waiting. She explained different menu options when we had questions. Just a little tid bit, the Sunday brunch menu is very "egg heavy". I ordered the waffles with cream cheese frosting which was supposed to come with an egg on top of it (I chose no egg). A lot of the menu was frittatas and eggs benedict varieties (such as one with lobster). I ordered a side of chicken sausage for protein (this was really good and I noticed came in a few of the dishes). two girls ordered Sangria which they didn't finish because the ice melted so fast and it turned into watered down wine. A few girls ordered mimosas which seemed to be the favorite. Another girl said the watermelon margarita was "just OK". Parking was a bit chaotic (backed up valet) but there might be other parking nearby. The only reasons I am knocking off a star was it was a bit slow to get the checks and it was dark inside, I guess I was hoping for something a bit brighter and happier. I'd love to go back and try dinner.

My boyfriend and I came here (at the suggestion of Yelp of course) because I just couldn't come to Florida and not have some good seafood. We were torn between this place and G&B Oysters. Imagine our surprise when we see that the two restaurants are one in the same! The wait was not very long as we got there before the dinner rush (it was very crowded when we left). We lucked up and got a table right by the water as the sun was setting. How fabulous is that? I had a pineapple mojito for my libation with my dinner. Delish! For our dinner, we shared a jerk wing appetizer. My boyfriend ordered oysters (he loves them). I tried them and slimy seafood like that just isn't my style lol. But he enjoyed them. The jerk wings actually didn't taste like any jerk seasoning was on them..I think they believe that jerk=burnt lol because they came out kind of "crispy". We still ate them. It's sad but I cannot remember for the life of me what my boyfriend had for his main course. I ordered the crab empanadas and they were very good. Service here was awesome and very attentive. If we come back to Fort Lauderdale, we will return!

Vin L.

This place was located directly behind the hotel we were staying at so we headed there for dinner. Nice large outside deck seating which is part covered and part uncovered. The deck looks over a marina with many yachts docked so it's a nice view. My wife and I both had usual suspects and did not have any specials. The Jambalaya was tasty but only had 3 jumbo shrimp. My wife was not crazy about the fish tacos. The service was really good and the atmosphere was nice. I would give it another try if I am ever back in this area.

Hang T.

Found this place on yelp, and yet again I find a restaurant that was overhyped. Granted this place has a gorgeous view on the deck, the food was a little more pricey than I expected. The customers are just probably paying for the beautiful atmosphere. We sat outside during brunch. There were free donuts with lemon glaze given to us. Those were the BOMB! Soft and fresh from the oven. So lucky that they gave them for free otherwise I would have totally missed out. I ordered the seafood frittata, a huge omelet with huge chunks of seafood. I can see why it was 17 dollars. I must have gotten two full pieces of lobster meat in it. My only problem is that it was bland. Had to steal the tabasco bottle from the bar to make it better. My other complaint was that the service was not up to par with what I was used to. People who came in after us got their food before us and they basically ordered the same thing. Maybe they need better food management in the kitchen. Bottomline: you are paying a good surcharge for a waterfront view so sit outside if you can because it would be wasted if you were eating indoors.

Andreea L.

The food was plentiful and delicious. Only dish I didn't care for other than the sauce were the conch fritters. It was way too much dough and not enough conch for me (Snappers conch fritters are way better). Other than that the drinks were mediocre and not strong, so that's why it didn't get a 5. Also, I wouldn't recommend to come super dressed up especially if you're outside during the day because it's going to be hot and humid.
(4)
Rickey M.

Aw man, I wanted to love this place. We were in Ft Lauderdale for 5 days, and I kept reading all the amazing reviews of how good the brunch here was. Overall the service was great from our server, but the food just couldnt keep up. Started with a bloody mary for brunch it was extremely watered down. I dont even like super strong drinks, but there was so much ice in the drink and not enough bloody mary mix that it tasted like i was drinking bloody mary mix w water. Lobster Benedict. I love bene, and this was rough to eat. The hollandaise was pretty tasteless, and the english muffin was so hard i gave up on trying to cut it to eat with the egg and lobster. Why!? The Lobster roll was good,but there was a lobster to veggie ratio failure. Its nice to eat a lobster roll packed w lobster, but I kept getting whole bites of straight celery. Ambience and service win here, but that kitchen needs work. Avoid.

Agatha L.

The best in Miami so far. The view is nice :) I think this is the must eat if u travel here. The crab with butter garlic sauce.that is the best dish must order,super good!!!especially dip with bread. Coconut shrimp sauce & Jambalaya Also taste good.

Went back for the 2nd time in 3 weeks... just as good the 2nd time. Brother had the seafood quiche - sampling that it was really good. Wife had the Ham hash special with this Sriracha cheese sauce on top which was legit! I went lobster Benedict again... didn't let me down. Going back will get wither the quiche or the Ham hash if they have it.

NPS = 10 Service, Service, Service! One of the things that made this trip very memorable was the incredible attention we got from our server, Tally. She asked us for our names, stated hers, and remembered our names as well. That goes a long way. We were not ordering food, we were having a conversation. And each plate was described with mouth-watering detail. We arrived at Coconuts and had to wait 20 minutes to be seated. No problem. There was a bar next door that you could order drinks, oysters, and stone crab and if your table was ready while you waited you could take your plates with you. Correction, someone would take your plates to your table. I guess being from Miami, I am not too used to getting great service. That, coupled with the impeccable attention I received at Coconuts, I had a great time. The Hog fish is not to be missed if it is on the menu. Get it grilled and it comes with lumps of crab meat on top and with a maple-citrus-like sauce. Excellent. My girlfriend tried the lobster mac and cheese with a sriracha kick...it should have been declared illegal. It was too good. Do not miss the chocolate fudge pie on top of a pretzel crust for dessert. One bite of that thing and I knew I would definitely be back to Coconuts. Do yourself a favor and try Coconuts in the Ft. Lauderdale area! And ask for a table outside, the view is exquisite!

Miles F.

Very nice setting with good food and long waits at times. The food was all good and the ice cream Sandwich was a lot split between four. We have been here twice now. Once during each of our past visits to Fort Lauderdale. Our kids, ages nine and 12, seem to really love it. Most likely because of the ice cream sandwich.

Charlotte B.

One of my favorite restaurants in FLL. The service is excellent and it has an awesome ambiance, as it is waterfront. Everything that I have had here has been really good. A must try here are the scoobies. The also offer awesome brunch with different specials every time you go. Can't wait to go back.
(5)
Dave P.

First time at Coconuts as it was suggested by hotel staff at Courtyard where we are staying. We were told on Tuesday it is 1/2 price on bottles of wine, but were not told how great the food and atmosphere would be. We had the paella and it was outdistancing. The beautiful sunset over the intercostal topped off a perfect meal. Can't wait until our next trip down as we know where we will have our special dinner.

Steve N.

Three stars for the food and beverages, but four stars for the deck and the setting. This is a nice place when you're in the neighborhood, and a treat to sit on the deck. We had happy hour with oysters and conch fritters. Here's the deets: Ferrari-carano fume sauvignon blanc, bottle - 15 (usually 30) Manhattan with rye - 9 Happy hour oysters - 7: for a half-dozen. They were from Virginia. Clams - 1.5 each Blue pool oysters - 3 each Hama hama oysters - 3 each TOTAL - 58 BONUS: Wine bottles were half-price. Guess it was Monday. BONUS: Good values on wine. TIP: Gets super busy! TIP: Valet mandatory in their lot, $5, and worth it. SHOUT OUT to Patricia S for being a great server

VilÃ©m Z.

Came here for brunch on a Sunday and they were very busy with a wait, so we ended up sitting at the bar. Even at the bar we had a pleasant meal and great service. The crab benedict was really good. You also get complementary mini donuts with the meal which was fun. Prices seems fair given the quality and portions of food. The complementary free valet parking was also nice.
(4)
Mike W.

Well this would be a better review given the quality of the food. However the slowness of the service is killing my experience. Been here for an hour waiting on dinner. Also ordered an iced tea 15 minutes ago and so far I'm farting dust, if you get my drift. It's a shame too as I usually understand things get busy kitchens back up. But serious how long does it take to get your drinks.
(2)
Sarah D.

We sat outside along the water, which I'd recommend. We didn't know this until we arrived, but Coconuts and G&B Oyster are owned by same company. So you can order off either menu. Also, Monday and Tuesday are half price bottles of wine. We went yesterday, so as it was a Monday, it was our civic duty to take that offer. We started with a dozen oysters from various locations along the East Coast. All were fantastic. We decided to continue to share our meal. So we then split the coconut shrimp appetizer. Five large shrimp with a phenomenal dip, who wouldn't love this? We then split the green goddess salad. Lots of fresh lobster, avocado, tomatoes, palm, etc. Soo good and refreshing! We finished with the coconut cheesecake. My husband isn't a fan of cheesecake, but this he fell in love with. Definitely would come back again!

Richard H.

Second time here with five years in between and both times were excellent. Shellfish were wonderful and the paella dish my wife and I shared was very tasty and a refreshing change to many typical seafood dishes. Our children ate linguini with clams and fried grouper. Both very good and very fresh! I picked at both because they looked too good to pass up... The Scooby snacks are their go to app and they didn't disappoint. Crab claws in a garlic and pepper oil mixture served with bread! Yumzy! We asked for more bread to sop up the garlic and pepper oil, it was that good! Atmosphere was nice and made you feel like eating seafood. Located in the marina with the yachts parked outside! Eat inside or on the deck. Musters to keep you cool. Give me a beer and some raw oysters puh-leeze!!! Be Nice!

You can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Their chocolate chip cookie dessert is meant to be shared. So, bring your friends and your appetite. Valet parking is free.

What an amazing spot! We stayed in Fort Lauderdale for an extra. Ight after the cruise. Sure the beach is beautiful but there isn't much going on. When it comes to food we Like to try places we can't find at home, so I of course pulled up Yelp! Coconuts had amazing reviews and a menu unlike anything I have ever experienced, nervous, we hit the street for a quick walk from Harbor Marriott to Coconuts! The food was great! We had the Scooby snacks, the meat fell right out of the claws and was so soft and filled with flavor. Next up was the coconut shrimp, I felt they did a great job with this because they weren't to sweet and sticky. The jerk wings were tender and flavorful and las but not leat, we were very impressed by the tangy alligator ribs, the meat fell right off the bone, just be prep for the tang, it might throw you off at first. Service was relaxed but it was nice to see the servers working together to meet the needs of patrons. Great job coconuts!

This was my other favorite spot that I came to on vacation. Mmmm!! I kept wanting to go back again and again and again! And, I was only there for a week! :-) Came here for brunch and everything was great. Had a short wait, but we were expecting that since it was a party of 11. So during our wait, we ordered bloody mary's and Mmm, it was great. I loved the spicy bean that it was garnished with. Once seated, our server came by, went over specials (which they had tons of), asked for drink orders, etc. He was great and on top of everything. No stress at all. And, they gave free donuts that day! During our wait and at the table. They were made fresh and served nice and warm. New England scoobies (my bro-in-law calls them scooby snacks, and oddly, orders them that way too...) - Good, but definately not worth the price. $16 for about 5 measly pieces. I wouldn't order them again. Seafood Frittata - I ordered this without Hollandaise, but they messed up and put it on and in it. Not a big fan of hollandaise, but their sauce is quite delicious. Nice, thick and didn't separate. The frittata was also stuffed with tons of seafood. Lobster Benedict - my wife ordered this and it was loaded with tons and tons of lobster. I stole a few pieces since I'm a HUGE lobster fanatic. Lobster was fresh and very flavorful. This dish was definately a hit at the tables. My table ordered other things too, but I was so into my meal, I didn't really try anything else. Overall: If you are looking for a great brunch spot with a view, this is it! Don't go anywhere else.

Location is great. Food was pretty good. I got the fish tacos which didn't wow me too much, but the conch fritters were very yummy! I loved the corn in them. The service was great. I was greeted immediately and my server, Alexa, was amazing! She was very attentive and kind. Overall great place when you combine food, service, and atmosphere. :)

Had breakfast here. Really enjoyed their seafood fritatas. Sat on the back patios with a nice view of the yachts and watched the water taxis go by. Got great service here. For a hot day wished they had more coffee options beside hot regular brew coffee. It was a holiday weekend and they charged $20 valet parking when you can park it yourself elsewhere or if you stayed close by you can just walk to the restaurant.

I went to Coconuts for the first time for Sunday brunch; my guest and I thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Based on the reviews from Yelp, we got there early at 1030. We did not have to wait to be seated, valet was complimentary, and water with complimentary donuts were served immediately. The wait staff were all friendly and attentive. My guest and I sat outside, right at the harbor. The view was spectacular. We watched the boats dock, we watched pelicans be fed by the staff, and we saw huge fishes and a jelly fish swim by. Now, for the food. I ordered the seafood quiche with the Peach Plamer, and it was great. My guest ordered the lobster roll with macaroni and cheese. My friend loved the roll, but we both agreed, we did not like the macaroni and cheese. I ordered the crab cake entrÃ©e to go for lunch later. I plan on returning. Plus, the beach is right across the street. Great place for Sunday brunch with a beach day.

Eduardo W.

A very nice waterfront restaurant with good views, service and atmosphere. I went on Memorial Day weekend (crowded) and was surprised to find complimentary valet parking, which is a big plus. I had the lobster roll which was really good, and tried the Comfort Bowl (pasta shells + sriracha cheese sauce) but this one was unimaginative and bland; so I would stick to the simple seafood plates. Overall a good experience and I would definitely come back.

Food is great but the crowd is trashy and loud. Go on non peak hour. It is extremely loud otherwise. Blackberry mojito is delicious. The lobster sandwich from B&G next door is great. Oysters are delicious.

Sophie N.

Ambience was great! Beachy vibes right on a marina. Service was great as well. Started with the "Scooby" which was so delicious. Would suggest sharing it between three people since it is a bit heavy to have before a meal. The lobster roll was very average. Bread was good but it was nothing close to what you'll find up north. The lobster salad was way too heavy on the mayo to the point where I was wiping it off before eating.

Jeff was an excellent server and knew everything on the menu inside an out! He sold me on a lobster BLT that will never be topped. The lobster was perfectly cooked chilled and served on brioche roll with lettuce, tomato, thick cut bacon, avocado and a lobster mayonnaise. I can't even begin to tell you how good this sandwich was and I would recommend it to everyone who walked through the door it was the best $28 I ever spent!

Who doesn't love breakfast by the ocean in a cool summer breeze?! This place has the best atmosphere and delicious food. I love the cocktails. Service could have been a little better if I had been in a hurry but who's in hurry when you're on vacation in the beautiful Fort Lauderdale?

ONE OF MY ALL TIME FAVS!! I want to start off by saying I love the staff here and the beautiful view when you sit out back (you get to see some of the best sunsets at dinner here). I love this place for Brunch, Lunch or Dinner. I think I have pretty much had everything on the menu and you can never go wrong. I went here for lunch on my Birthday and there was a bit of a wait (35 minutes - totally worth the wait!!). They gave us yummy complimentary donuts with frosting and pretzel toppings while we were waiting for our table. My friends and I enjoyed the breeze coming from the Ocean and a few drinks while waiting. My go to drink is the refreshing Blackberry Mojito! I love the starters here. LOVE THE SCOOBIES and if you haven't tried this then you must (it's snow crab drenched in a spicy butter)!! The Conch Fritters, Coconut Shrimp and Smoked Fish Dip are also amazingggg! My favorite Brunch item is the Lobster Eggs Benedict. My favorite for Lunch is their Lobster Roll (I get the deviled eggs on the side but they have great crispy french fries as well). I also think they have awesome mac and cheese and coleslaw. My favorite for dinner is two items - the Fish Tacos or the Steak Salad.

Had a pretty good lobster roll, sat outside on the dock, watched the Tarpon swim by, which made the experience so much cooler (FYI, tarpon can grow to 8' and weigh 300pounds) also had the coconut cheese cake which was delicious. :)

Absolutely hands down the most unique and delicious brunch in Fort Lauderdale! They make little donuts with various toppings while you wait for your table. There is a standard brunch menu and then the specials for the day. I highly recommend listening to the specials. The are unique and don't get repeated so enjoy them if possible!

It was a nice stroll from our hotel to Coconuts yesterday for brunch with my friend. The person that was seating us at a high table didn't bother to notice that my friend was short so we asked to change to a table overlooking the gorgeous marina. We had two servers...one in blue and one in black shirts. There was complimentary donuts drizzled with syrup and chopped pretzels. Food: I ordered the Fried Clams Benedict and my friend got the Shrimp & Grits. I was so disappointment in my eggs because the yoke was overcooked so I asked for new eggs. Our server brings me two eggs and I didn't have enough sauce and just ate the yoke. Word to the chef: how can you messed up cooking Eggs Benedict! At least I crossed this off my list and it was nothing special!

We had a great meal here. The lobster salad from next door is delicious and for $28 a steal. We also had the coconut shrimp and the lobster roll. All excellent. Toms back yard burger is great value and it was cooked perfectly. The pork medallion gravy train was poor. Meat was dry and this was the only thing to stop is giving the place a 5 star rating. The view at sunset is beautiful and definitely worth a stop if you are on Ft. Lauderdale

We went here on our last night of our vacation in Fort Lauderdale (visiting from NY) on a Tuesday night. The place was jammed and we were told it would be 30 minutes for a party of 2. It turned out our wait was only 10 minutes. I wanted a romantic dinner for our last night. We got a nice table right on the inter coastal. The view was really nice. There is a nice menu selection and the appetizer menu from the clam bar steals the show. We got the salted shrimp which was amazing and very affordable. Our waitress Ana was great. She pointed us in the right direction and we ended up getting the steak special which was great. This set the stage for a great evening. I highly recommend. Tip: Don't valet if it's crowded. There is a metered parking lot right across the street which is very cheap

Went to Coconuts today for lunch and sat outside to enjoy the breeze. We had the guacamole and coconut shrimp appetizers. The guacamole was good, but not great. The coconut shrimp though was wonderful. The shrimp were big and the sauce was delicious. I ordered the house salad and my husband got the steak salad. My house salad was good, but nothing special for $11.00. My husband got the steak salad and that was excellent. Service was great and the food came out fast. Overall we had a good experience.

Although my last review for Coconuts was negative due to the horrible server (Tracy); the manager really did make up for it. This time Kelly was our server and the food was delicious as ever and the service was perfect! I hope they keep it up!

If you are from out of town and only have 1 meal in Ft Lauderdale, eat it here! The prices are not cheap, but very reasonable for what you get. We grabbed a drink at the bar while we waited approximate 25 minutes for the table. The bartender was extremely friendly and very knowledgeable of the menu. Daily specials - tonight they had an outdoor paella they were cooking in a giant grill outside. It smelled amazing. The conch fritters with aioli were fantastic. Crunchy on the outside, fried, not too greasy. The Scoobies appetizer (seasonal on special) were mouth watering. Perfectly cooked crab claws marinated in a garlic buttery sauce. HIGHLY recommended. I could eat my weight in these things. The lobster roll is not to be missed. My only complaint was the bun was open on the seem which made it hard to eat, but after the first bite, trust me I got over it. Buttery, rich, delicious. The heirloom tomatoes side with basil and a dash of balsamic were fantastic. They were two large thick beautifully cut slices of perfectly ripe tomatoes. My only negative comment is this place is really loud, mainly because they were so busy. I was here on a Tuesday night with a 25 minute wait. I would imagine it would be next to impossible to get in in a decent amount of time on the weekend.

The staff at Coconuts are really friendly and genuine. It feels almost like a family run restaurant, but on a much larger scale. The seafood here is seriously legit. Start with the snow crab scoobies (snow crab claws in butter). You can't go wrong with crab and butter! We had the crab cake salad which was very tasty and the lobster roll which was equally as delicious. The roll could easy compete with any the best from Maine. Coconuts, as it's tasty and has great seafood, seems to be perenially busy, so be prepared for somewhat of a wait at dinner time.

*Lunch Review* Coconuts was the first placed I dined at after landing in Fort Lauderdale from Virginia. I was hungry but didn't have many expectations. We were seated immediately by a hostess. There's a nice patio area facing the water for customers to dine (beautiful water views). The patio area filled up very fast. I ordered Coconuts "special of the day" which was a crab cake BLT sandwich. I was able to pick from a list of sides. The macaroni & cheese caught my eye. My entire meal was delicious. The crab cake on Coconuts BLT was tasty. Everything combined very well together. I can't rave enough about the macaroni & cheese. It was very flavorful and cheesy goodness. Service was fast and attentive. Coconuts have a nice ambience outside. Customers get a nice view of the water while eating/drinking. The parking was a hassle but Coconuts offers valet parking for customers. Overall, I was impressed with my lunch at Coconuts. P.S. Coconuts blueberry soda is amazing! Do yourself a favor.

We knew to come early Saturday night, this place gets pretty busy. Arrived at 6, no problem getting a table. We decided to sit outside....yes it's like 90 degrees but with the shades, fans and ocean breeze it was ok. Ordered 2 Dutch Mules- kettle one and ginger beer. They came in these cool copper cups and tasted liked spiked ginger ale-very good and refreshing. They had stone crabs available?!? In June?!? Waitress explained they are shipped in from California, and a half pound for $22 we decided to give them a try. I was quite pleasantly surprised! Taste ALMOST like the stone crabs we are used to, a little bit saltier but same buttery consistency served with the usual mustard dipping sauce. I really wanted to try the scooby, after reading all the great yelp reviews and this dish did not disappoint. Main course we split the lobster boil and a burger- both were delicious! I was too full to finish, more than half of both came home for a late night snack. Temptation got the best of me and we split a chocolate pecan pie a la mode...this was amazing and somehow found the room to enjoy a few bites! Great meal, great service, and free valet parking doesn't hurt!!

I don't get all the high ratings it is ok I waited like 15min for a table because I have heard how great this place is but that would be long as I would wait. I must say though the scoobies were good, waiter did not know a lot about the menu he said he was new, nice guy but could have been a little more informed. Hit it up if you don't have to wait long but certainly not worth an hour wait I am sure you can find something just as good.

I have been to Coconuts a hand full of times for meetings and pleasure. The fresh seafood at this location is the price of admission alone . This location is off of Seabreeze Dr just waking distance to Ft Lauderdale beach. Parking is free , but limited and valet only. The Apps.. Conch Fritters 8.00- consist 6 large pieces of fried conch with a creamy dipping papaya sauce. Smoked Fish Dip 11.00 generous portion dip consist smoked mahi mahi, celery , mayo,peppers. served with crackers or tortilla chips The Entrees... Lobster Roll 17.00 - 10.00(happy hour) is expensive for lobster roll . Boston is half the price, but very good and moist. Fish Tacos 14.00- consist fresh mahi mahi fish slaw and pico de gio . Awesome!! Mahi Sandwich 15.00- Generous Portion of Mahi filet grilled. Really good!! The Sides... Mac and Cheese - not good and very disappointing. Frys- ok not really constant. had one order come in burned Deviled eggs- Solid . really good and fresh The restaurant is slow during the week days during lunch. Friday and weekends are always busy. Wait times can exceed 30mins. Happy Hour is available on weekend offering there popular sides 25% off the regular menu. Brunch is offered during Sunday. Also outdoor seating with a view of new river not the beach is available , but limited. Indoor and long fully stocked bar seating is also available . Over all Coconuts is a great restaurant for fresh seafood and from what I heard from others excellent brunch and a view of the river .

They have good food, loved the smoked fish dip and their wings. Had fish tacos and crab cakes which were not the best I have had but they were still good. The drinks were decent too but mostly liked the setting by the water. I'll be returning the next time I'm in FLL.

Eileen A.

Mmmmmmmm! I enjoyed this place. They have complimentary parking. Nice because it was very crowded on a Monday night! We waited about ten minutes. We sat by the ocean. It's was 1/2 price any bottle of wine. That's why it was so busy on Monday. I had the special heirloom tomato salad with grilled Mahi-Mahi on top. The salad was tossed in a balsamic vingearette with blue cheese crumbles and homemade croutons. Delicious! I was with co-workers so I couldn't taste the other food Overall good experience just expensive.

Stephanie L.

This is a great place for drinks and food while enjoying being outside. There are two layers of decks overlooking the marina, and indoor dining with doors opening to the breeze. The beer list has some good craft items, but you're mostly limited to bottles. Mojitos are also large and delicious. It's easy to while away several hours sipping and looking at the boats docked in the slips nearby. I strongly recommend the special crab claw appetizer cooked with plenty of garlic and oil served with 4 slices of Italian bread. Delish! Coconut shrimp platter is huge and phenomenal. Crunchy cole slaw, crispy fresh-from-the-fryer fries, and several large perfectly done shrimp are a testament to quality. Service can be a bit slow but is super friendly. They're glad to describe some of the lesser popular beers, and don't rush you at all. This is a great place of you want something beachy, but an actual restaurant (vs snack shack style eating).

Grilled fish tacos and rice and peas. Appreciate the grilled no breaking in the fish. Really tastes fresh and great. Mix of corn and flour tortilla is what is the finishing touch. They put something in the broth of the rice dish that really makes it outstanding. If sit along pier say hi to the two giant fish down there for me! :)

Tara I.

Good, casual and fast. Enjoyed the NiÃ§oise salad and a crab stuffed striped bass from the daily special menu. The chocolate chip cookie ice sandwich for dessert was enough for four people!!! Great experience. We enjoyed sitting outside on the deck overlooking the water. Super close to Las Olas Beach too! We walked from the beach after a long day of laying out and playing in the ocean. I went a second time! Enjoyed the smoked fish dip and alligator ribs. This place rocks! On Tuesday they have paella that is made outdoor on the porch. Amazing.

Yasmin B.

Service was ok and food was mediocre. Pretty expensive for what you get. I ordered lobster roll cause someone posted it was good but it was very bland. Also my niece ordered the tuna taco and said it tasted off. The only decent thing were the fries and deviled eggs

Beth H.

I'm not a fan of shrimp at all, but I could eat my own weight in coconut shrimp from coconuts! Not only is the food hot, and delicious, but it is fresh too. Great quality, and big quantities; plus you cannot beat the view. This is going to be one of the places I frequent next year when I move to Miami! It will be worth the drive :)

Rebecca M.

We just finished having dinner here. We had the fish dip and coconut shrimp for appetizers. I didn't like the fish dip. For $13 I expect it to be with chips or homemade something. I found it salty and it was served with packaged crackers... I did like the shrimp. My hubby ordered the special grilled mahi top with crab and I had the mahi taco. He said it was good but not very satisfaying. It was pretty small. I had the tacos. They were average. So the view is great and the ambiance too. The food? Not the greatest. It's really up to you.

Mike M.

Mmmmm frozen mojitos! This place had good food and great Frozen mojitos! This place has good seafood but it can be a bit more on the pricey side. This place does get packed so during rush hours you may have to wait for a table. You can boat up and dock. Oyster bar. Good drinks.

My boyfriend and I went here for lunch and had about a 30 minute wait but it was totally worth it! We got the Scoobies and I about swallowed my tongue! They were excellent!! For our meals we got the grilled mahi mahi, cole slaw & corn on the cob and it was so fresh! We also got dessert - coconut cheesecake & key lime pie!! Our server Emelio was very nice & helpful too! Definitely a must go!!!

The Yelp Daddy really enjoys a place with good food and a great atmosphere. So, if good food and a beach-ie vacation vibe is your thing then this is the place to come. 1st the scenery is "crazy" relaxing, so try eating outside. The service was fast and attentive; the server even gave some good recommendations on the dishes that were really "Poppin'." The food-really tasty but they are known for their Lobster Roll, which is kinda expensive, however, it was not bad but it Doesn't compare to the Lobster Roll at Joe"s Stone Crabs in Miami Beach-They have the best!!!! Their Coconut Shrimp was the hero of the day for me; a must try. " I'm in Luv wit da Coco"-nut shrimp!!! Their drink selection is unique-so, don't be afraid of trying something new here. The ambiance-is like being on a 7 day cruise vacation at sea. The breeze, the smell of the ocean and an exotic drink in your hand-nothing like it-great experience. **Note: Great place for beach-ie people, hippsters and for people who are in serious committed relationships-this atmosphere is too cool for someone who is not worth being committed to-just saying! So, check it, I ordered the conch, which is okay-needed more conch and less batter. I also got the Jerk chicken wings, which I really liked, the coconut shrimp-freakin' amazing. I also got the Lobster roll, it was cool but I would not get it again. But their Blueberry Soda-was the "dopest!!!"- a must try! I'll come back!

We started with coobies which you must have then I had a lobster bisque which I have all the time in other restaurants and it is the best I have had. It is loaded with lobster which is not the case in most restaurants. I had the jambalaya and it was great. My employees had the snapper, the crab cake salad but be aware it had red onions in it. All in all really good. Busy and noisy but casual and food is worth it.

AD D.

Unfortunate experience. We are locals that frequent this spot - I'm not sure if it's the expansion of the restaurant group that's distracting them however something is certainly compromising the quality of food here. I ordered the green goddess salad for $17 which came out slimy. Gross lobster, soggy salad. The waiter insisted they make it again. Okay sure, no problem. Once again, not up to standards. It's a shame - We never send food back but have now done so two separate occasions recently. We will give Coconuts a rest for a bit. Hoping things turn around!!

Andre P.

Excellent! Great staff and awesome food. I ordered the steak and while I wouldn't consider this a steak house, they did a damned good job. Our table was right on the water, and I absolutely loved our view. I'm only in town for a few more days, but I'll definitely be heading back.

The only thing exciting about this place was the Ferrari and Bentley parked outside the restaurant. This place is extremely overrated. We ordered the scoobies, which are crab claws dipped in butter and garlic. It was an ok appetizer. Not sure why this appetizer cost $19. Extremely over priced especially when Shuck N Dive, 1 mile down the street has the same dish for $12. When we left to get our car, the valet attendant gave us our keys and told us to get our own car. WTF!? This place will never see us again. Stay away from this restaurant!

We were looking in on Yelp and found Coconuts for a lunch spot in Ft Lauderdale. What a gem! We ate at the indoor bar as it was really hot out. Our bartender Jerry was the best. He had great recommendations and personality to match. My wife had a delicious lobster roll and per Jerry's recommendation, I had the blackened Mahi sandwich which are a dime a dozen in Florida but this was the absolute best! Jerry went into the back and got me this JalapeÃ±o relish that they make which took my sandwich to another level! The place is super pet friendly as well!

Mrs. Heidi R.

Amazing service and super tasty food! Went with 6 other classmates for a celebratory dinner and we left so stuffed. We started with tons of apps (spinach and artichoke dip, huge shrimp in a really tasty sauce, scoobies, and conch fritters). For main entree a few of us got the lobster roll, one other got the lobster bake, and others got specials. Lobster roll was ok. Lacked taste but I preferred my apps better. Also got a side of mac n cheese which was ok. Drinks were good and so was dessert (no bake cheesecake). Valet was a breeze and servers were super attentive. Cant wait to go back.

Mark B.

Coconuts is quite popular for both lunch and dinner. They do not accept reservations and the wait at 7:30pm was an hour +. There was still a wait at 9:00pm. The service was friendly and knowledgeable, although a bit harried. The Blue Crab in garlic, butter, and red peppers appetizer was very good, and is recommended. The fresh fish included Mahi Mahi, Snapper, and Swordfish; lobster is out of season, as are stone crabs. They did a very nice job cooking the fish (it was not overcooked), and it was served hot from the broiler. Overall, it was a very nice dining experience.

Ashley F.

Went last night for my birthday & our waitress was awesome! incredibly personable & knew everything on the menu. The mango mojito is TO DIE FOR!!! Best drink I've ever had, even if you don't like mango, ORDER THIS! Seafood was very fresh, my only issue was the lobster club roll had a bit too much going on, huge sandwich but the bacon & avocado overpowered the lobster. I ended up opening the sandwich and eating everything separate but the seafood was delicious. The crab scoobies are also amazing! Overall, great place & its pet friendly!
(4)
Josie D.

For the appetizer, we ordered the conch fritters and we had to send it back. It tasted like flour with oil and we couldn't taste the conch. I then ordered the entree, Fish Tacos. I had to send it back, it was drenched in dressing and didn't seem very fresh either. Our waiter was very polite and offered something else. I asked for the coconut shrimp which was fresh but kinda bland. Place is very loud, don't bring the babies!

We came here last night in shorts and a bit sweaty from the Renaissance Festival expecting a much more casual place. It's not that this restaurant is dressy, it's just not a shorts and sandals kind of place, at least not on a Saturday night. The free valet parking is the way to go as no other parking was to be had. You need a reservation unless you want to wait a VERY LONG TIME because this place is wildly popular. Try to get a seat outside on the water. Coconuts shares a building with G&B Oyster Bar. We were able to order off the menu for for Coconuts and G&B. The place was very busy yet the service was quite efficient. The food was spectacular and fairly priced. The snow crab pincher claws appetizer had a beautiful plating and was served with warm bread to dip into the delicious butter, garlic, pepper and herb sauce. The spinach artichoke dip was great and it was served with light, crispy and non-greasy tortilla chips. The lobster boil was spectacular but the winner of the night was the lobster roll. It was big and busting with delicate claw meat and with just the right amount of mayo. It even comes with one side. I chose the mac and cheese. It was hot gooey bliss with toasted breadcrumb topping. Coconuts hit it out of the park in every aspect of our wonderful meal!

Yesterday this place had four out of five stars with 956 reviews. Today I'm adding five out of five. Food is crazy good. Service was the best we have had this trip in S Florida. The guy whom waited on us Tuesday night sounded like he was from NY/NJ. SUPER personable. Very helpful with tips and ideas on choices. Great with kids. Paced us perfectly between appetizers an entrees. I wish every server learned from him. This was our second time at coconuts and again, this was a memorable experience. This place is jammed so be ready. We were told roughly an hour for a party of five. We got in just under 30 min. This place is amazing and would totally go again.

We found this place after walking along the beach and not being impressed by any of the restaurants there. I'm so glad we went to Coconut's because it was an amazing experience. The view was beautiful, the misters on the deck kept it from being too hot. The waiter was extremely knowledgeable about the food, patient and gave good suggestions. I tried the Scoobies (good) , coconut shrimp (Amazing! Probably the best coconut shrimp I've ever had), lobster green goddess salad (very good, huge portion), coconut cheesecake ( delicious, tasted more like a coconut cake than cheesecake but I love coconut). All in all I would like recommend this place to anyone and I want to go back again before I leave!

I hadn't been to Coconuts in almost 3 years, and when I came last-it was for lunch. So coming for dinner on a Saturday night without a reservation could have been an absolute disaster. But it was fabulous. Pulled up around 8:15 and the valet tells us the wait is 75 minutes. Eh, not thrilled, but we're here and there's a bar. No big deal. Go to the hostess podium and give a name. Meanwhile a group of 4 middle-aged women walk by and are audibly complaining "THAT WAS DEFINITELY TWO HOURS!". At this point I'm really bummed but oh well. Go up to the bar and order a glass of wine. Not 20 minutes goes by and the buzzer goes off. Hmm. Pleasant surprise. Tables for 2 must be a lot easier to grab. Fairly certain the women saw us walk by and made a comment under her breath, but hey what can you do. Got a gorgeous table outside by the water, under candlelight-already had some appetizers in mind. "Scoobies"-apparently, are crab legs, along with a fabulous tomato and feta salad that was to die for. This is by nature, a seafood place, so of course I wanted to get something off the specials because they tend to be the most transient and freshest, and something SPECIAL. I went with the surf and turf-filet mignon and crab cake, and a bottle of Chardonnay to wash it all down. Our waitress was fantastic-I believe her name was Colleen-and had no problem with us being the last ones left after the place was basically closing down. No rush to kick us out the door. A+ on service as well. The food, service, atmosphere, drinks, everything here gets 5 stars. My one minor complaint would be that the specials should be printed on a piece of cardstock and given to you with a menu-it seemed like it was too intense to listen to all at once (there were a ton) and it all seemed to run together, then you immediately forget. But a return for sure.

Nicole C.

I've been here 5 times before and have never had anything but a great expierence. This is my go to spot when I have family in town visiting that wants great sea food. They always have a verity of delicious specials on the menu and of course their classic dishes. My personal favorite are the "scoobys", mini cracked crab claws cooked in a delicious butter, garlic and lemon sauce and the conch fritters! The service is always outstanding. The only downfall is the valet / parking situation. They are always so busy valet can fill up quickly!

Jule L.

You had me at "Complimentary Valet Parking"! Nice casual atmosphere. The place was packed but we only waited about 10 minutes for a table outside so that we could enjoy the ocean view. Their motto is "Be Nice". Some of the staff had on Be Nice Tshirts. And they were. Oh ..and you're allowed to bring your pups. We started our meal with the cocnut shrimp. At the risk of parrotting what everyone else has said, they are to die for. We also ordered the Jambalaya (OMG!), the coconut house salad (Amazing) and the crab cakes with a side of rice and peas. Everything is listed in order of yumminess. I didn't care too much for the rice. It had a very strong Rosemary taste. If you like rosemary, you'll love it. Last but not least, we had the coconut cheescake with raspberry sauce. DECADENT. The service was great, though our waiter did try to upsell us. But he was quite entertaining yet still very efficient. Will come back when I am in South Fl again. Overall we had a great dining experience. The only negative thing is that it's really noisy so just be quiet and eat. :D Oh and tip your Valet ;)

Breonna L.

My boyfriend had a taste for seafood so we decided on this place since it had such great reviews on Google.... Well, here's one more to add! It was pretty crowded when we arrived and ended up waiting about a hour to be seated. My boyfriend ordered the coconut shrimp platter (which was a very nice size) and I ordered the comfort bowl with lobster. My dish as well as his (you know I had to eat some of his shrimp lol) was delicious. We sat outside and ate by candlelight while overlooking the water... which would of been romantic had it not been so cold outside. :( Our waitress was awesome as well. I definitely applaud the wonderful service from the waitress and even valet. All in all, our experience here is definitely 5 stars. The food, the service, the decor theme and the atmosphere.

When Steven's sister asked me to think of brunch spots for us to go to celebrate her birthday and then hit the beach after, I immediately thought of Coconuts. I hadn't been for brunch before, but had done dinner. We choose to park in the lot across the road so we could hit the beach afterwards, but Coconuts does offer free valet to anyone dining in. We were seated promptly as soon as our entire party arrived. Although they don't take reservations I was able to call ahead of time and put our name on the list. They open at 10am though so seating wouldn't have been a problem...come later than that and it gets packed! We chose an outside table but weren't sat on the low deck so we were still out of the sun and able to enjoy the misters overhead. Our service was impeccable, a two man team whose names escape me, but they were very helpful and friendly. The menu listed everyone's fav breakfast items and the servers were happy to go over the specials with us as well. We started off with the free donuts drizzled in honey. Despite my recent decision to try and forgo white sugar I opted to try one, I'm ok with honey, but there was probably white sugar in the batter. They were heavenly. We also got an order of "the scoobies" everyone's favorite best kept secret here. I haven't had them in years, but they were as good as I remembered. *Steven C. opted for the arepa (special). I've forgotten what was in it, but it was topped with an egg, mango salsa etc etc...and it was phenomenal. The cornmeal batter had extra corn pieces in it and it really came across as though someone had put some extra love into this dish. *I went with the Moo and Cluck - skirt steak and scrambled eggs. The steak itself wasn't that great, but the accompanying chimichurri sauce was amazing. Great breakfast for those watching carbs. The side was tomatoes not bread as I was expecting. Some others at the table tried: *the daily french toast - peanut butter, fluff and chocolate chip. I didn't try it but the deep frying of the bread made it look amazing. *golden clam strip eggs Benedict - another daily special that was amazing. The hollandaise sauce really impressed me. *veggie fritatta - didn't try it but it looked good All in all it was a nice meal. You can't beat the view and to find good service and food to go along with it is a plus.

Come for the food -- stay for the amazing view and service! Great place for lunch or to watch the sunset during dinner. The atmosphere is addictive and the food is pretty great. The menu is not overly expansive, it is simple and to the point which I think is great. I have had and loved the lobster roll, fish tacos, the ahi tuna salad and the deviled eggs! I have not yet been to their brunch but I plan to indulge very soon! Parking is a mandatory valet but is validated by the restaurant so parking is never an issue. Be prepared to wait during high volume time (weekends mostly), but it is definitely worth it. The service is really good and you can even bring fido if they are well behaved :) Definitely a must visit if you are in the Ft. Lauderdale area!

Went here with friends from out of town! We absolutely loved it!!! The appetizer that was not in the menu hit the spot! It was crab claw in some sauce that hit the spot! Lobster wrap and the Lobster salad were delicious! The jambalaya was fire!!! It ranks up there from the jambalaya's I have tasted... Not too soggy with just the right amount of kick to it! My wife enjoyed her cocktail as well!

I waited almost 2hours for the dinner. The server was nice and helpful. Foods were good. They have nice out door seatings by the water. Really loved the scoobies and cole slaw!!

Their motto is "be nice" and it's easy to be nice when you are getting good food, good service, and good happy hour specials. Coconuts serves up an attractive atmosphere with great, fresh food. Attached is the raw bar, so not only can you smash on some mahi mahi fish tacos with fresh salsa, you can find all the fresh oysters you want. Our waitress was nice, attentive, and professional. I should add that there were no less than 30 Coconuts and G&B Raw Bar employees on site during happy hour. Everyone was typically doing something, so there was always someone within shouting distance. And 4-7 gives you happy hour. 4-6 gives you oyster specials. And the happy hour meant half price on apps and they all rocked, including the jerk wings and coconut shrimp. Sign me up for more.

Awesome view. Amazing food (fish dip, coconut shrimp, salted shrimp, and raw oysters!). Outstanding service. Best restaurant we went to during our stay in Ft Lauderdale! Ana was great! Go!!

I ordered the crab cake salad and devoured it! I asked for the dressing on the side because restaurants usually add too much. But they forgot and tossed my dressing in with the salad but it happened to be the perfect amount! Cool view. Complimentary valet. The only reason why I give it a four star is because the menu is pretty expensive for lunch.

Coconuts tries for some interesting flavors, but the end result is slightly off. Given some other issues, I came away thinking of Coconuts as a 'two star' falling closer to three than to one. Conch fritters were a bit undercooked on the inside. And while some of the flavors were good, somehow the fritters also tasted vaguely 'soapy.' The comfort bowl with lobster meat was better -- I'd call it an average dish. This sounded from the menu like a lobster mac and cheese with pasta shells. But it turns out that the sauce was more creamy than cheese-y. While not disappointing, it's not worth ordering in my view. There were some issues with service. Many things did go right, though. Our server was initially very friendly. Water glasses were re-filled promptly throughout our time at Coconuts. But it turns out that our server had incorrectly described the contents of the salads some of our group had ordered, which led to disappointment (and much pulling off of seaweed salad). Our group did not receive all entrees at the same time, and some folks had to wait quite a while for their food, while others' food was sitting at the table and cooling off). We also gave very explicit instructions on how to split the check, which were not all followed. Those kinds of mistakes happen, but our server seemed cranky when these issues were pointed out and corrections requested. But say this for Coconut's -- the water view is great, and the complimentary valet made it so parking was not a hassle. If you want to try Coconuts, my suggestion is to get something from the raw bar (rather than the kitchen), sit outside, and enjoy the atmosphere.

You always have a feeling a place is going to be good when you get there on a Tuesday night and it is packed - and packed with locals too which is an even better sign. Coconuts is right on the water and has exceptional views of big boats and the sunset. We got the 1/2 price wine special (Tuesday night) and had a nice wait for our table while we watched the sunset. Once we were seated (about 45 min later), we very much enjoyed all of our food! The heirloom tomato salad was exceptional as was the paella me and my friend split. Our other fellow diner got one of the grilled fish dishes and was very pleased. Overall a great dining experience - can't wait to go back!

We had reservations for Sunday brunch. Highly recommended. We got seated fast it was 9 of us. Their service was great, friendly people, nice view good atmosphere and the food is excellent. I had the crab claws in garlic sauce and bread then the eggs Benedict with lots of lobster. Definitely will go back when I'm in the area.

I'm impressed! The coconut house salad was amazing with those shavings of coconut. And the coconut shrimp and fish & chips were great! Even the grilled asparagus was so tasty! Free valet parking. It's a must come back!!

The food is excellent and very reasonably priced. Coconuts is always busy but the service is amazing. Went here twice while in Florida. First night we were able to get a table because we arrived by 6pm. The 2nd night we couldn't get a table so we went next door, they share the same kitchen. Sit at the bar and ask for Alex, I have never seen a bartender as fast as Alex. He is super efficient and friendly.

Stopped in here on our last night in FL, as we wanted to go out with a seafood dinner. We parked in the lot across, and down the street a bit. Only after we got out of the car and had to run across the street and to the doors in a sudden torrential downpour did I see the sign in the parking lot about complementary valet parking. Oy vey. We were seated immediately since we opted not to have an outdoor seat, but with the garage doors open, it was almost as good as an outside seat. Our wait staff was by frequently and were friendly and helpful. We ordered a half dozen oysters and the fried conch as appetizers. The conch was a little fishier than I liked, but it may have just been me. Between the four of us, we ordered the pesto scallops, coconut fried shrimp, crispy snapper and the sea bass special. All of it was good, with the pesto scallops actually being the best thing of all four. The other was pretty much standard fare. For desert, we had key lime and coconut cheesecake, both good as well. I agree Kimberly E, this is probably closer to a three $$$ location, as it was about $200 for our party of four. While not unhappy with the service, food, or overall price, I'll probably try other options in the area when we return for vacation next year.

To be fair, I will give the food a 4 star. The seafood dishes there were very fresh and well-made. The view was also quite refreshing. I was quite impressed when I first arrived. Of course, that added to my disappointment with the events that followed. To sum it all, the service was HORRIBLE. REGARDLESS of how good the food was, a two hour wait for the food plus waiters with attitude problems were not things I appreciated during my vacation. Since the service was so bad, I thought I will just leave a bad tip, but when the bill came out, the mandatory tip was already added into the total bill, which allowed the servers to care even less about their service towards the customers. Overall, I was not pleased.

Great place to have Sunday brunch 10-1 PM. I had florentine Benedict while my boyfriend had shrimp and grits. We also had free donuts, as the young gentleman making it fresh offered it to us. We usually come here for dinner as well but brunch is a nicer experience! Service really good, fair prices, and great food.

Bree H.

Okay so first of all, I rarely review restaurants unless it's amazing or awful. This place is AMAZING. Annie, our waitress - was the best server my dad said he's had in 20 years. Not only was the food perfect, they actually let us feed the fish and an iguana came right up to the dock. They let us take pictures before they "shoed" him away. Recommendations: crab appetizer with olive oil and garlic (TO DIE FOR) and the pompano fish dinner for the win. Coconut cheesecake will change your life. Can't beat the view either, what more could you ask for?! We'll be back!

Luckie M.

If it wasn't for the horrible service, I would have given them 5 stars. It all started from the hostess stand. My boyfriend and I walked up to the hostess stand and said hello to the hostess. She ignored us and proceeded to argue with two employees. When she was done, she finally acknowledged us and gave us the buzzer since there was a wait. We went to the bar and ordered drinks. After some time, our buzzer went off so we went back to the hostess stand only to be told that it was an error. So we went back to the bar. Because we were so hungry we ordered a few appetizers from the bar. As the food came out our buzzer went off and we were seated. Our waitress did not greet us. She gave us a nast look and says "you guys already have food." When she brought our drinks she slammed them on the table. Because we were sort of full from the drinks and appetizers, we only ordered a gumbo and coconut shrimp. Shen we gave the waitress our order, she demands, "that's all you're ordering?" We then asked her to just box our food and left.

Family took us here while we were visiting on vacation. Lunch outside was great. Everything was great. Food, service, atmosphere. It was the coconut cheesecake that took this place to the next level. I have had cheesecake all over the USA. It is my go to dessert. I can honestly say that with my first bite of coconut cheesecake, I fell in love with South Florida. Almost enough to make me move there. Certainly good enough to come back three days later and order three pieces of cheesecake to go! Its that good people!! I usually don't order any topping on my cheesecake because I consider myself a cheesecake purist and want to enjoy without any distraction. Plus, most toppings are not that good. The blueberry topping on the coconut cheesecake was a GREAT accompaniment to the coconut cheesy goodness. Even the crust was off the hook! My advice? TRY THE CHEESECAKE!!

We are locals and have been to Coconuts many of times. The food is normally consistent and high quality. Tonight was mixed and disappointing. The oysters were great as always but it was down hill from there. The worst Conch Chowder I have ever had would have rather had Campbell's soup at the house. The grouper cheek special which I love grouper the fries were amazing can't say the same for the quality of the grouper. The frog legs were dripping in grease and I would not order again. My wife said that the sardines were very good but I was to turned off to try anything more once she offered. I hate writing bad reviews but our waitress could not take the time to get some constructive criticism on what was wrong tonight and instead sent by someone we had not seen all night to check us out. The second star was for the oysters. We will be back and hope to not have a subpar experience like we did tonight.

Coconuts oh coconuts, how I enjoyed your waterfront view. The staff was prompt and attentive, the drinks were potent, the food was delicious....but whats with the damn ac on blast? Sigh!

My family decided to go here to celebrate a birthday. BIG MISTAKE. The food was sub par, but the worst part was the service. I have never encountered that level of ignorance. Why a server would not keep track of individual tickets is beyond my comprehension. Why the guests were left to determine who got what is ridiculous. Why they guests were forced to pay on one check so that the waiters were guaranteed a large tip is down right insulting. I hated this place. Go at your own risk.

Danielle D.

Holy delicious! We had a group of 8 for a birthday brunch. Wait took about 30 minutes but once we were seated, it was smooth sailing. Our server was fantastic. Everything came out quickly, deliciously and perfectly to order. If they had bottomless mimosas, I would never leave!

Marika C.

Just an overall great experience. Make sure to sit outside and you will feel the same way. The white sangria was incredible and tasted almost like gummy bears ( which sounds odd but trust me I mean this in the best way). Also the monk in the trunk local beer was very flavorful and light. Stone crab appetizer was delicious but pricey. The seafood was very fresh and I would recommend the fish tacos to anyone. It also doesn't hurt to look at beautiful yachts and iguanas roaming around
(4)
Marie G.

Little pricy but the food was delicious and the atmosphere was great. The drinks they offered before the meal were way overpriced. $9 for a mojito is overboard. $17 for the blue crab appetizer. Those aside, the rest was reasonably priced and delicious. We had the conch fritters, lobster roll and comfort pasta with lobster. I recommend what we ate but maybe skip the explosive drinks and overpriced appetizer.

This place was excellent and I went two night in a row. Great fish and plenty to choose from. All fresh and prepared in different ways. Monday and Tuesday nights were half price bottles of wine nights. Walked over from the Double tree I was staying at so drinking was not a problem since I could walk or crawl back to my room. LOL

It's our first time to Ft. Lauderdale and after a long day in airports and airplane cuisine the wife and I were ready for some food. I think we would have settled for fast food but decided to walk across the street from the hotel to Coconuts and GB oyster bar. We arrived during prime dinner time, both the bar and the restaurant were bustling. Overall first impressions, excellent. Both the bar and restaurant are open air and sit on the intracoastal waterway. With it being as busy as it was, they still managed to get us seated in under 30min. The drinks from the bar were stiff but still tasty. My personal favorite was the Mojito. Once seated our server Emilio was Johnny on the spot I mean right there. Not overly friendly but warm and welcoming. For dinner we had friends with us so the array of food was pretty good. It was about 10minutes from the time we ordered appetizers (scoobies, conch fritters, and spinach and artichoke dip) to the time it hit the table. That in itself was pretty amazing considering the packed restaurant. We had the Crab Cakes, Danish baby back ribs, fish tacos and jambalaya. I did taste everything at the table. It was good. Not stellar, but solid and the portions well, massive! Enough to satisfy my appetite. The main reason I've given Coconuts 4 stars was the fantastic service from Emilio, open air ambience and reasonable prices for the food.

We had an amazing experience at coconuts today- the fish tacos were amazing, the salmon carpaccio was fresh and delicious, the pork sandwich- savory and fresh. We also had the dessert (which we never order) the coconut cheesecake. That was the best dessert I think I have ever had!! The service was great and the employees were all friendly. However, the valet parking was not "complimentary" if you step one foot outside the parking lot. We took a picture of the ocean for 15 minutes and were charged ten dollars. Simple as that. The valet attendant Jeffrey was useless to help, the manager of the restaurant told us nothing could be done because the valet company was contracted. To be honest, I don't know if we will ever go back because of this. It dampened the entire experience. The parking lot was empty, and the valet said that we owed him ten dollars. It was ridiculous. If you go to coconuts, just stay in the parking lot.

We had some relatives from out of town and wanted to take them somewhere on the water for Sunday brunch. We choose this based on the Yelp reviews. We're glad we did, because the atmosphere was fantastic. We got there at around 10 PM and were immediately seated on the deck even though we had a party of eight. We all ordered different items and everyone loved their food except for me. I had a shrimp and grits and the grits were slightly runny. However, I tried my wife's dish, the lobster eggs benedicts, and they were perfect. I also tried a bite of the frittata and it was excellent and huge (I'll definitely order that next time). What was really impressive about this restaurant was the service. The hostess and our server were particularly great. We had our kids with us and they were especially attentive towards our kids unlike many servers that make it obvious that they don't like kids. We'll definitely be back, especially when we have guest from out of town. It's a great place to show off Fort Lauderdale. One bit of advice... Arrive early if you're heading there for Sunday bunch and want to sit on the deck. We got there at 10 AM and were seated right away. However, when we left at about 11:30, the line was huge. I'm guessing they had a 30+ minute wait.

Came here tonight with a couple friends, and we ordered the blue crab claw scoobies, chips and guacamole with cheese, fresh oysters, and grilled oysters for appetizers. I enjoyed the scoobies, which were very buttery, garlicky, and decadent as others have said. The rest of the appetizers were more or less forgettable. For the entrees, our waiter highly recommended the mahi mahi special with lump crab atop the mahi mahi with a lemon butter caper sauce. To me, the dish was quite bland and lackluster. Lemon caper sauce is generally pretty flavorful and aromatic but there was something missing here. The saving grace of that dish was the lump crab, which was light yet briny. I remember coming here about a year and a half ago. When trying to describe what I had then, I couldn't recall. I have a feeling a year and a half from now, I won't be able to remember what I had today either because it just wasn't memorable enough for me; however, Coconuts isn't without it's merits. The view and ambience are what make this place stand out. While the food isn't memorable, I recommend Coconuts for its atmosphere and people watching.

This place is popular, a little over priced. I don't recommend the lobster roll. It was salty and I had 3 shells in the sandwich. I'm lucky I didn't break a tooth. The crab cakes were very good though. Over heard waitress trying to up sell the unsuspecting customers. Know the prices, its not cheep.

Loved the outdoor dining on the deck over looking the water. The crab cakes were amazing. Crab claw scoobies were yummilicious. Service was phenomenal. The lobster rolls were so so. Coconut cheesecake was deliciousness. Overall a very happy dining experience. Loved it. Must try the frozen mango mojitos.

Donna S.

my entree was the sea bass topped w crab. which sounds amazing but left SO MUCH to be desired. wht made up for this major disappointment though was the Blue Crab Claws appetizer. Blue Crab Claws soaking in butter, cloves of garlic and red chili. We had to order another 2 rounds! Otherwise, service was decent, drinks were pretty strong.. and my friends did enjoy their entrees.. so I'll go ahead and tack on another star..

Pretty decent. Think of the "This Restaurant Defines [Insert Hometown Name Here]" restaurant wherever you're from. The one that maybe seems better to the locals than it really is. The one that serves a decent, appeal-to-the-masses variation of something (Italian, Asian, seafood). That's this. The Scoobies are crab claws sitting in a cup of butter. Okay, but not great. Skip. My Jambalaya was the best ever. Definitely get. Key lime pie was best in FLL.

Rick K.

Real nice dinner here last night. Great location and we had a great outdoor table right on the rail overlooking the inter-coastal (only in the low 70's so a little cool for the locals but pretty darn nice for this time of year by NE standards). Waiter (Richard) was great! Knew the fare and was not afraid to share his recommendations when we asked. Started with the "scoobys"; which were blue crab fingers flash fried in butter and garlic sauce. Served very hot in a bowl of the sauce and just delicious - pick it up by the pincher and just eat the meat out. Also had the dip duo which was a nice accompaniment to just nosh on. For mains - fish tacos, coconut shrimp and the FL stone crab (in season - recommended by Richard). Fish for the tacos was a blackened mahi-mahi - very, very good. Stone crab was is season and was excellent. We split the ice cream sandwich for desert - wish I had a picture to share - not your typical IC sandwich. It was very big - enough for the three of us. Chocolate chip cookie shell filled with vanilla ice cream cut into 4, topped with whipped cream and chocolate sauce. Not normally a desert guy but this was good! Good meal - good location - a block in from many of the more touristy spots that line the beachfront.

Coconuts is a family favorite whenever I visit Ft. Lauderdale. It is a nice option for lunch or a laid back dinner. For those driving, beware, it's valet parking only, which is a bit of a scam considering the venue and parking lot. You can also pull right up to the dock if you're coming by water. There is outdoor and indoor dining available; I prefer outdoor since the acoustics of the restaurant inside can be a tad loud. The specials rotate regularly with market fish such as your staple mahi mahi, and they have some of the best crab cakes I've tasted across the country. I highly recommend the crab cake salad as the dressing is a perfect complement for a light lunch. Another nice option is the coconut shrimp - the texture of the coconut is the perfect pair to the juicy shrimp, and dipped in the mango dressing, it's a little bite of heaven. Pass on the seared tuna salad - I've had some salads that were great, but a couple times where the fish was mushy. Given the location, less than fresh fish is unacceptable. I can't say too much about the landlubbers fare - with so many great seafood options, why would you get a burger? I look forward to trying the oysters and fish tacos on my next meal at coconuts.

Ate dinner two nights in a row I enjoyed it so much. First of all great view of the inter coastal. Beautiful bar in case there's a wait. Which there usually is. The food was awesome. Started out with the scoobys which I highly recommend. Followed by a lobster roll, packed with tons of lobster. Delish! had their deviled eggs which left me craving more. Seriously excellent!

Evenings and weekends can get pretty packed. They always have an hour wait but usually can seat you earlier than that or the oyster bar/back bar area is first come first serve with about 70 seats so you can usually find a spot back there if you don't mind giving up the view of the marina. A great variety of oysters, we get the Blue Point usually and they never disappoint. The acoustics in there weren't designed very well. It can get very noisy in there so this might not be a good spot for a first date ;) If you have a boat you can pull up to the marina and grab a drink while you wait for your table. Great location and view.

It was a nice evening out, so we ventured here for dinner. We sat on the patio which had a great view of the water. We started with a few beers and For an appetizer we order the jerk wings which were so-so. For entrees I had the chicken sandwich which was delicious...maybe one if the best I've had! Hubby had one of the specials which was an Italian soup with shrimp, mussels, etc in it. He loved it! We were stuffed by the end but still decided to try dessert, which was the coconut cheesecake...amazing! A must try! Service was really good, free valet, nice ambiance, and great food!

A beautiful Feb night in Ft Lauderdale, temps around 70, not a cloud in the sky and the most spectacular view on the intercoastal waterway from our seats outside on the patio. Drinks at the casual patio bar were mixed well and the hostess came to find us to escort us to our table. We were looking for a casual dining spot on the water and we found it at Coconuts! Menu is mostly fish with entrees ranging from inexpensive mahi-mahi sandwiches around $14 or fish tacos ($14) up to their fresh catch entrees ranging $25 to $30. We went for a delicious blue crab appetizer that had the shell cracked off and the claw left on for a handle. The claws were swimming in a wonderful butter, garlic and herb broth and was very tasty! For entrees, I chose the fish tacos. Two large flour tortilla tacos served with pan seared mahi-mahi, avocado, lettuce, tomato and a light dressing that complimented the fish. Served with a side of rice and beans this was very good (3 STARS). For dessert a whipped coconut cheese cake with raspberry sauce. Very light and sweet with little bits of crunchy coconut thrown in. 5 stars for a reasonable priced restaurant in the touristy Ft Lauderdale strip area, 4 stars for the view and 3 for the food. Overall a 4 star winner.

Had friends visiting from out of town and brought them to Coconuts because we have always enjoyed this place. We had a party of 6 and were seated quickly. Junior took care of us and he was the best waiter I've had in a long time. Prompt service, polite, and the food was excellent. I always order the fish because it is straight off the boat and delicious. Tonight was no different. Another great dining experience. We will be back and will ask for Junior!

Danielle B.

This was unexpectedly an amazing meal! There is one thing you MUST order here and this is the blue crab scoobies! They are so good and dare I say, addictive. You get crab claws marinating in a mixture of butter, garlic, chili. With every bite, I couldn't help but think about future clogged arteries. But at the same time it was so delicious that I would dunk my crab meat into the sauce and try to soak up as much buttery goodness as possible. We had to ask for more bread. I could probably have an order to myself and not be ashamed at all. They really are that good. Then the bf and I shared one of their specials which was a New England seafood broil. It came with an assortment of seafood: shrimp, clams, mussels, lobster, and other things I can't recall. This was delicious as well and a generous portion that filled us up. I'm not going to lie, I snuck a few dips into the sauce from the scoobies with my seafood. Oh! And we cannot forget the frozen mojitos. They were just as good as the food. I had a mango one and it was a very good mix of sweet and sour and mint. Those might be a creeper because they taste too good! Beautiful location right on the water. We were feeling a little under the weather and it was a windy night, so we chose to sit inside. Otherwise, I would love to come back on a warm night and sit by the water! This is a place worth trying and if I happen to be in the area again, I will be back!

Great location, right by the water. They have free valet parking. The food was excellent. They serve a crab dish called scoobies that's not on their menu. You will have to ask for it.

I had crab cake entrÃ©e and it was great. They have a great wine selection too.

Coconuts is always very tasty. I tend to bring visitors from out of town here to get a nice meal on the water. However, they do not take reservations unless you have a large party. This is unfortunate because Coconuts tends to get VERY crowded on weekends and holidays.

My friend and I were searching for a good brunch place in Fort Lauderdale to try out before our parasailing adventure and we stumbled across Coconuts. They offer free valet service for any dine-in customers which is a huge plus because parking around the Fort Lauderdale beach strip can be a hassle sometimes. Another great incentive is the amazing water view. The place seemed to be really busy, but they seated us right away by the water. My friend ordered the lobster benedict while I got the seafood frittata. Each entrÃ©e came with a side of fresh fruit. My friend's lobster benedict wasn't on par. Even though there was a generous amount of fresh Maine lobster meat, the poached egg was overcooked and the English muffin was soggy. My seafood frittata wasn't any better because it was really dry and lacking on ingredients. I was hoping for more of a variety of seafood, but it only came with a few pieces of lobster and shrimp. Even though the food wasn't on par, I still enjoyed my experience here. There is an 18% gratuity added to any bill, most likely because of the water view. We didn't mind it so much because the service was great, props to our waiter. He constantly checked up on us and made sure we were doing ok. He even gave us some fresh baked donuts on the house. So if you are looking for a good dining experience, go check this place out. But if you want good food, then I would rethink the decision of coming here.

As we sat by the bar in G&B Oyster Bar and waited for a table at Coconuts, we partook of an assortment of Oysters. The Oysters were to die for! The Scoobies at Coconuts were fabulously garlickly. Could not get enough. I guess that I should dividing the review between both places. Oh well.. We ordered other items as well, but these are the 2 items that top my list.

The scubies is very good but pricy $17. Went during happy hours got half price off appetizer. My husband really likes the coconut shrimp. Lobster rolls are good. complimentary valet parking. 90min wait during holiday seems pretty excessive, wish they have more seating.

Stopped by for lunch. Had the snow crab finger appetizer which was amazing. Hubby had the pulled pork sandwich and I had the crab cake BLT. Both were amazing. Food is fresh and tasty! Total cost of two cocktails, appetizer, 2 sandwiches and a dessert was $75. Not too bad!

I really like this place- low key, on the water and you MUST try the lobster roll. Having moved down here from Boston, I can tell you their lobster roll is amazing. Should not miss out.

The tuna in the sashimi salad melts in your mouth. This tuna is so good, it's worth sacrificing a few dolphin for. The coconut shrimp platter is amazing. We started with raw ousters and conch fritters. Everything was incredible. The view of the harbor makes the entire experience something truly special. The service is excellent. What more could you ask for? Try this place once and you will be back.

My husband took me here for lunch on my birthday (June 2). What a fantastic experience. Everything we ordered was wonderful -- from the spicy snow crab claws appetizers to the side of deviled eggs to the lobster roll entree (mine) and the crab cake sandwich (his). The service was also very attentive. I'm nuts for Coconuts.

Stella O.

Pros: near the water Cons: very overrated. Tried the fish tacos which had a styrofoam texture. For being a water front restaurant their seafood items should be spectacular. 2 crappy tacos for $14.....no thanks! The servers are uppity like their charter clients.

Marie-Christine O.

The Scoobies are great! I usually have the fish taco - so yummy... But today chose to take the swordfish for a change... And it was delicious. Love this place. Lunch and dinner!

CC L.

Excellent food and service- pricey, but worth it for what you get. Also, we must not have seen the gratuity note on our receipt and added a nice tip since we loved our waitress- I later checked my bank statement and noticed that she did not charge is the extra tip amount we had added, even though she could have gotten away with it! I wondered why at first until I looked on here and saw others had mentioned the added gratuity. What we thought was going to be a $103 bill was only $87... Thank you for not taking advantage of us, it makes me love you all the more Coconuts!

Josie C.

Under recommendation by the waitress, I ordered their mahi mahi and got to try the lobster roll with deviled eggs, blue crab appetizer and this smoked fish with crackers appetizer. Mahi Mahi was juicy and flavorful while lobster roll had chunks of lobster meat. Blue crab appetizer is a must try. It's garnished in olive oil with garlic and red pepper. Delish. This place would have been 3.5 - 4 stars, except for Mr. Genius Valet Guy who left our car on and just turned off the engine (My friend's car is keyless with a button to start the engine)... We went to retrieve our car after lunch and saw that our car wasn't parked that far away. So we got the keys from Mr. GVG and told him we'd just get it ourselves. To our disgust, the car was left on but engine off...AND the gear was left in reverse... during the ENTIRE time we were enjoying lunch over the nice ocean view. It's like leaving your cute puppy in a hot car, while you go to Nordstrom's semi annual sale. HORRIBLE feeling. Don't know if we ever will come back, but if we do...forget complimentary Coconuts valet parking. I'll pay $5 and do it myself Thank you very much.

Fantastic. Half price bottle night on Monday was super bonus. Scoobies rocked! Lobster boil was crazy tasty. Freshest mahi mahi we've ever had!!

Cody S.

Service was very good. Waitress was very honest, I was going to have the Gravy Train and she told us that she wouldn't recommend as it is dry. We both enjoyed our entrÃ©es (lobster roll and rosemary chicken). The best part was the key lime pie, highly recommend!! The view was great out on the patio.

Simply delicious. Food: I had the scooby snacks and red stone crab as appetizers, the scooby snacks were perfectly executed.For my entree' I had the paella... extremely filling and delicious. The fresh, locally derived seafood really brought this dish together beautifully with the saffron infused rice. Drink: The frozen mango mojito!!!! A server recommended this to my party and we all thoroughly enjoyed it. You won't regret it. Ambiance: Perfect place for the casual diner. The patio overlooking the Ft. Lauderdale Beach lends itself to beautiful panoramics... not too much more you could ask for. Service: Good, very attentive friendly staff. Reasoning behind rating: The only reason why I gave this place 4 stars instead of 5 was because though I really enjoyed the food and the service, the food is on the pricier side. My party of 3 racked up an $180.xx bill (sans gratuity)... and for $60/person I would have liked to seen better glass, dish and flatware to give the consumer the complete 5 star dining experience, but aside from that everything was terrific. I think reinvesting into the establishment would surely turn this place into a 5 star restaurant but for now I'll give Coconuts a solid 4 stars!!!

Leylani D.

The food was great- ordered the swordfish and the sofrito seafood which was a chef special. It included a combination of seafood and noodles that were well seasoned. The kids ate well with typical children friendly items that, while not on the general menu, were still available. Everyone's favorite was the cookie ice cream desert- when they tell you it's big they really mean it! Nice atmosphere and fresh seafood!

I came here for Sunday brunch and it was banging. Came at 11am , valet parking , seated on the deck right away , beautiful view of the water , nice cool mist from the ceiling misters, quick and friendly service. Complimentary amuse bouche "almond joy" donuts .... They bring out the no diet on Sunday rule and the though of maybe i choose fat and happy. Then I had the CBLT , amazing. Friend had the seafood frittata. It was LOADED with shrimp , crab , lobster . For dessert ( we ordered it before we knew about the donuts) was a stuffed French toast. I was so full that I have no idea what it was stuffed with but I just wish I had worn elastic pants. So far, this is my top brunch spot (sorry, Hibiscus) , I can't wait to come back.

Valerie P.

Great food. Everything was tasty and well made. Mahi Mahi, gumbo, conch chowder, fish tacos, linguini with clam sauce, house salad, cole slaw, and more. Fine local beers too. Great atmosphere. Wait staff like each other and the guests can tell. They were terrific. When in Ft. Lauderdale, definitely go. "Be Nice". (Ft. Lauderdale's slogan.) super service:10. Food:10 Have to go if you are in town!!!

Corey M.

The BEST server we have EVER had! The food was good at this restaurant featuring mostly seafood but the real star of our meal was our server Junior. Being a foodie for many years now I have eaten at hundreds of restaurants of all shapes and sizes, from the simple pub to 5 star dining at O Ya and Le Bernardin and nothing compares to the passionate, energetic, and knowledgable service what was given to us by Junior. If you go to coconuts, which I do recommend as a good seafood restaurant in the Fort Lauderdale beach area I highly advise you request a table in Junior's sections. Service above and beyond what would be expected at any restaurant. Thanks again Junior! Ate there about a month ago, will always go back if Junior is in tha house!

Ea K.

Beautiful restaurant with great seafood! Just by the marina, great outdoor seating. Appreciates the little touch such complimentary valet parking in a crazy parking area, fresh baked donuts while we are waiting for our seats and not to forget that the food lives up to expectations. A must go in the Fort Lauderdale area!

Christine A.

Interesting menu, 4 of us had breakfast, seafood quiche, and lobster Benedict, and Mimosas. Everything was tasty, however our Benedict's were over cooked, and food arrived too cool for our preference. The sauce was very good. So tip, specify that you do not want them to over cook the eggs. Also be prepared to wait.

Kathryn F.

Hands down amazing. We got to coconuts right at 1130 when they opened for lunch. The hostesses were very friendly and accommodating, we decided to wait at the bar for a seat right on the water because it was so beautiful out! We started the afternoon off with an amazing Bloody Mary and oysters! Delish! Our bartenders were Britt & Matt, amazing service and very friendly! We decided to just eat at the bar!! The whole restaurant is open so we were still outside enjoying the weather! We got the 'duo dip' which is a scoop of fresh chunky guacamole- so flavorful! And a scoop of cold queso sounds strange but it was to die for! It had chopped up jalapeÃ±os in it, so it was cold but hot and so cheesy all at the same time!!! It was on special so it might not be available all the time- if it is, a MUST have!! I got the lobster roll which was so good! And filling! As my side I got the tomatoes, juicy and amazing as well. This place is not a let down! My boyfriend got a grilled chicken cesar salad, which was also great! The chicken was cooked to perfection nice and juicy! We also had some margarita and Mojito's, were on vacation you know ;) If you're staying in Ft Lauderdale you have to come here! We will be back for brunch in the morning! No doubt that it will be amazing along with the service!

Amazing food. Good atmosphere. On the water. Love it here. Check it out. Cocconut shrimp is out of this world.

Heather B.

It isn't often that I disagree with Yelp's reviews--in fact, this is the first. I didn't find Coconuts anything special: not bad, but not good. My fish tacos were *meh*. The various sandwiches the rest of my party ordered were acceptable, but not 4-star worthy. Service was unspectacular--again, though--it wasn't terrible either. Overall, the experience was overwhelmingly average! And for what it is worth, I wouldn't go back. I'm sure Ft. Lauderdale has better surprises.

Roscoe R.

Great location and amazing view, there was a beautiful sunset. The lobster was amazing! It was a little pricey but definitely worth it. You should get a spot outside because it is right on the dock and the view is breathtaking. You should definitely go if you are in the area.
(5)
Emely B.

We ordered the crab cakes with mac & cheese, the cakes were really good however the sauce wasn't the best had too much lemon for our liking. I had a daily special which was a lobster, clams, mussels, and shrimp boil which was delicious! As for drinks, we had a captain and Coke and a mojito, which were below average. Our server was good and attentive
(4)
Hanna K.

Food was great and service was awesome! However, the wait for our food was little long. After thirty minutes I had to ask the waitor about our order which evetually came out. Also, I didn't know there was a difference between outside and on the deck. I thought making a reservation outside was going to give us a table next to the water, however my reservation was in a cabana high chair area next to the bar with the loudest people sitting at the bar. Don't mind the excitement, but having to yell across the table during the whole dinner didn't help. So, if you want to sit next to the water ask for a table ON THE DECK not OUTSIDE. Other than that the food was AWESOME! We started off with a dozen oysters (nice and fresh). We also had the lobster bisque (delicious with real chunks of lobster!) unlike some places where they leave you searching for lobster with none to be found. Then we had the crab cake with mac and cheese, lobster roll with coleslaw, and some chef special with lobster, clam, mussels, sausage and potatoes in white wine sause with tomatoes. Everything was delicious!!! Also, complimentary valet parking! (Nice!!!) Will definitely return to be ON THE DECK next time. :)

I love this place!! The view was awesome, the staff was amazing, and the food was so delicious and fresh! Our waiter was great! Friendly, knowledgable about the menu and on it (refilling water, following up on our orders etc.) The place is hopping, which I always think is a good sign, we had to wait for about 20 min. Definitely worth the wait! Can't wait to go back!!

Went there for lunch on Friday in late afternoon and there was no wait which was great! Gorgeous views and great weather to start off a nice weekend. We started with Scoobies (blue crab claws in insane amount of oil and garlic and peppers) and half dozen raw oysters. We didn't really like the Scoobies that much given the fact that it was sitting in half a bowl of oil. However the raw oysters were delicious and clean....no sandy feel to them at all. I had the lobster roll and my husband got the fish tacos. Both were pretty good but we really think it could use a little more flavor to the lobster roll. For the price, there were lots of chunks of lobster meat in the sandwich. The biggest problem we had here were the restrooms. When we were leaving the female restroom was out of order so me and a few other female patrons were forced to use the men's restroom. With so many people visiting this restaurant you figure they would keep their bathrooms cleaner and in working order. It was past 5pm when we were leaving and the rush was already coming in. There was a line forming in the hallway to use the restroom. The men's bathroom had 3 stalls and one of them was so disgusting that it literally wanted to make me throw up everything I just ate. When I stepped out there was still another lady in the restroom. When one of the guys working there needed to get the plunger from the men's bathroom, a female staff member states there is still a female in there. He didn't care and still just went in which was pretty rude and disrespectful to both the female staff member and the female customer. Not sure how I really feel about coming back here again.

We have been in Florida on& off for 9 weeks, as we have taken a few cruises. My lunch today at coconuts was the best I have had since leaving home in the UK. Crab claw starter was great spinach dip probably the best we have ever had and my blackend fish entree was also excellent. Service could not of been better even if they tried, and the location and view is also great. So good may go back tomorrow .

Maria C.

I'd give the place 5 stars but the heat inside and the noise level almost had us walking out. The food was delicious! Got the Scoobies and Mahi Mahi onto power of the coconut salad. Our son got the pork tenderloin and that was also really good!
(4)
Terry L.

I came in like a wrecking ballllllllllll. The only three things I like about this restaurant is the location, views and jerk chicken wings. That's it. It's not to say that this place is absolutely horrible but the entree dishes served to me and my group of friends was nothing special (jambalaya, lobster roll and coconut shrimp). The dishes lacked special seasoning that would separate a seafood restaurant from other standard seafood restaurants. I also tried the "scoobies" appetizer as recommended by other yelpers as it's not on the menu. It's basically crab meat in olive oil, garlic and onions. I thought it was tasty but not out of this world. I also tried the conch fritters and they lacked flavor as well. Valet is mandatory with this establishment. Overall I would recommend this place to catch up with friends and enjoy appetizers by the water. All you ever did was wreck meeeeeeeeeeeee.

This place is actually attached to an Oyster bar too and you can order interchangeably from BOTH menus. I took mom here for Mother's Day, our server Kristin was awesome, and the manager Paul (?) even came over to check on our meal. Mom just loved it, she raved about it, she was a happy camper. We ordered: 1) the Green Goddess Lobster salad- A+ this thing way exceeded my expectations 2) Stone Crab app ($24)- tasty little critters 3) The Scoobies- DON'T GO HERE AND not GET THESE. I get them every time I go. 4) Snapper topped with lump crab meat and roasted red peppers with the most amazing emulsion of corn relish sauce (yep really it was awesome). It tasted sweet like corn does but creamy, OMG it was amazing 2 drinks and the bill with tip ~$120

Me and my husband went there around 4:00 for drinks and appetizers. We were on vacation and someone suggested Coconuts. Ok let me start by saying the service was AMAZING by the whole staff during the whole time. The food was great, oysters were great and the view was amazing! Please go you won't be disappointed at all

Justin E.

Great food, great service. Perfect for any group or occasion. Amazing water views of the intercoastal. All of their entrees and specials are "can't miss," but I'm not a huge fan of their apps or desserts (the popular ice cream sandwich is rock hard and overrated, I think). This place is wildly popular for a reason. Unless you're an earlybird, be prepared to wait for a table at dinner!
(4)
Brad H.

Went there for happy hour got to sit on the intercoastal. Very nice the comforters were great and so are the coconut shrimp. You could tell that the crabcake entrÃ©e was fresh crab. I theysuggest going there for happy hour.

Came here for lunch on a beautiful day and sat outside near the water. A customer even came here by boat with his dog. They had the best lobster rolls and salads. The waiter was very informative about the specials of the day. I would recommend this place to everyone!

PJ C.

In town from NY for the Green Bay-Miami game and we were looking for Friday night dinner and saw this place highly rated on TA. Stopped around 8pm and it was jammed but we got a table for five right on the water in 30 mins (less than their 1.5 hour estimate). The fish dishes were good and surprisingly big portions - one snapper and another mahi-mahi. The scoobies were garlicky good. The service was average - it did not stand out. The best part of the experience was dining outside waterside on a beautiful October evening.

L D.

I'll start with the most positive... Location! Beautiful water front looking over the million dollar yachts. Server was very nice and I would completely ask for him again. Cons... Food. Don't get me wrong.it wasn't at all bad. Just if I pay $23 for lunch it better be above average. Hubby got the fish tacos. Small, bland, and no texture. Really really bland! Me.. Got the coconut shrimp. Very good but again... If I party $23 for a meal I better have fries that don't look like they are from Denny's. Frozen and very small portion. Pay for the view expect average food.

Allen B.

For my first visit and it was Easter Very disappointed! Menu varied from one side of eatery??? Service not helpful in menu items no knowledge of product. Had crab bites lol crab legs pre- chopped still in part she'll, tasted old dry. Oysters nothing special and cost for value poor! Only gave 2 stars for location right off and on water pretty view if your lucky enough to get a table! No return for me!

Eve E.

Our aisle - mate on the plane down from Ohio recommended this place. Wish we could thank her. It was a long wait (60 min @ 6pm) but we didn't mind due to half-price bottles of wine at the bar next door. Our appetizer of conch fritters was delicious especially due to the dipping sauce. I was surprised to see deviled eggs on the menu, so I ordered. Was not impressed :( I had the lobster roll (large delicious chunks of meat) & hubby had seafood jambalaya, also with ample seafood. Overall, an awesome first dinner in Fort Lauderdale!

Comp. valet, great ocean view, PET friendly and they got some pet fish the size of a kayak, which got fed right in front of us.. tarpons I think... awesome time! Unfortunately, they are always packed and wait time can be from 30m to 1hr. so, if you're coming here you need to come relaxed, check out the boats docking to the place as you wait or smthg. Food's deli, great service and they have some good recommendations on the daily specials. IDK how they memorize all that but its fun to hear it. :) But I agree with some other reviews, quality of kitchen service does decrease when overbooked. We had a fun time overall. Will recommend to friend or foe. haha :) -El Niche

Shadaja B.

Waited for almost an hour on a busy night, food was worth the wait. The scoobies on the other hand was the best although the Mac and cheese is better off preferred in the day time when fresh it was super thick and hard to chew and swallow. The Mahi Mahi was very good and cooked well but the sauce through the whole meal off.

Great start, good food, great service, casual setting ... seated right away, helpful staff, nice menu, simple and clean dÃ©cor, and great view of yachts on the intercostal waterway. Service at the table was great -- attentive, patient, great recommendations, and efficient. None of the usual, "I will have to find your server," when we asked for something from any of the staff. Food was very good. Fish was fresh. We had a great swordfish special and a comfort bowl (based on recommendation; would never have picked it otherwise). Fish tacos were good, but would have benefitted from more veggies and a spicy or hot sauce. Fish and chips were nicely presented, but the fish lacked flavor. All in all a very good experience and good value. Would recommend this place over many other options in the area. This place is authentic and worth a stop.

Andrew L.

The insane long lines are not worth the wait, BUT if you go for lunch or anytime when the crowds are gone, Coconuts is really great beach/surf food. Fresh, tasty seafood, delicious drinks and really superb staff. The location right on the marina is great eye candy, but this place certainly is built upon really good, really hearty food. The happy hour drinks and oysters are a great deal. I cannot imagine how anyone could be disappointed here, especially on a beautiful day or night. Other than those crowds. Avoid them and all is well!

Lyza L.

How is it possible that I've never written a review for Coconuts? It's hands-down my favorite spot at Ft. Lauderdale Beach. I always take out-of-town guests there and it never fails to delight. Great service, gorgeous location on the Intercoastal, fabulous food, excellent wine list, even the BEST Valet team anywhere on the beach. If you go, definitely ask if they are serving their special Scoobies... crab claw pinchers in garlic butter. And if you're lucky enough to be there on Friday night, you should order the Paella! It's prepared right there on the deck in a HYOOOOOGE paella pan. Oh, and on Mondays and Tuesdays, all bottles of wine are half off!

Tiffany Grace E.

The view from the restaurant is great, even at night! The wait staff was also helpful, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu. Everything else was very subpar. I ordered the lobster roll which was extremely bland and tasted like it came from a can. It was also served on a soggy piece of bread which- quality wise- is comparable to that of Wonderbread. The fries were decent, but now I'm questioning whether I liked them because they were actually good or because my entree was THAT bad. I was with a large party and most people liked their food- but the ones that did got the chicken sandwich. Being that this is a seafood restaurant, I think the fish tacos and lobster rolls that we ordered should be a lot better than a poultry dish. I was very disappointed in the food here, especially since it got such rave reviews here on Yelp, but maybe I should have expected it from a restaurant whose main font is Comic Sans. If you're looking for a nice view and good drinks, I'd definitely come here, but eat your dinner beforehand.

Went with the yelper reviewers suggestions on this one. Wasn't in a huge rush but needed a good place close to a meeting with reasonable priced and good food. I'm always a seafood fan so when this popped up I was happy to try. Although a rainy day this waterfront spot was still nice, dry and comfortable sitting outside. The sandwich- more lunch like options are in the lower $12-$15 range. Choice of fries or coleslaw with all platters. You get a great size portion. Had the fish tacos, as recommended by yelpers. Solid pick- satisfying. I'll be back!

Vince D.

Great location, feel and atmosphere. I had clams on a half shell, peel and eat shrimp cocktail and their special which was snow crab claws in this garlic/olive oil sauce. The clams were good. The peel and eat shrimp was some of the best I've had. I eat crab all the time but I've never had claws in this kind of sauce. It was fantastic! Server was terrific. Value was spot on! Would absolutely go again.

Came here to take a load off and have some good seafood eats after spending some time at the beach during spring break and was drawn in by the numerous reviews this place has been stacking. Just to let you know right off the bat, Coconuts and G&B Oyster Bar are both connected. I say this because we were able to order from G&B Oyster Bar while dining here. It is also encouraged that you settle yourself with the luxury of their bar while waiting to be seated as the wait can be lengthy, especially during sunset hour. Make sure you ask for waterfront seating when asked for preference because the whole scene where the sun fades the sky with warm colors, disappearing in to the horizon whilst enjoying the company of your fair date, yeah, see where I'm going here? After being seated we had a few oysters to start off. Oyster menu changes from time to time but oyster description was accurate, in which we picked buttery and briny. Keep in mind that they have happy hour for their oysters from 4 to 6 pm everyday. We also had the New England Style Lobster Roll. It was just as other yelpers described, a generous amount of lobster on a buttery and toasty roll. I do must add that their coleslaw paired perfectly with it which was sweet apart from vinegar. Sadly we didn't make it to dessert but were thoroughly satisfied with what we had. Also just to add, the service was on point and very catering for our indecisiveness and photo taking.

A lot of restaurants along the marina look very similar (meaning mediocre) but based on the reviews my friend and I tried Coconuts, and we weren't disappointed. We were there early enough for lunch that we avoided a wait. Our server was really friendly, and talked us through all the specials--and there were a lot. We had the scoobies (crab legs) as an appetizer, and they were great; really garlicky with a bit of a kick. For a main course I had the clam strip sandwich with mac and cheese. The sandwich was huge and messy, but tasty, although the grilled bread was just a little dark for me. Mac and cheese is my favorite food because I'm a child, and this was good. 4 stars because the service was a little inconsistent--very friendly, but sometimes we had to wait for refills, and it took a while to get the check. No big deal, though. Way worth it.

Let's start with the ambiance of Coconuts...one word "AMAZING"! On the water, gentle breeze and yachts really big Yachts. The place was packed but KC our server was great! She was attentive, extremely friendly and she knew the menu. The food was wonderful! I would recommend the crab claw starter it was flavored just right and wonderful.

This is one of my favorite restaurants, especially for Sunday brunch. It can be a little pricey but it's a great location across from the beach and right on the intercostal.

We stopped in here on vacation a few weeks ago to escape the hotel, and this place didn't disappoint. Nice outdoor seating options, and a great selection of seafood. We had a variety of oysters and they were all very good. The entree selections were solid too.

Felt the need to write this review after my second visit. In a nut shell...great food, amazing service, beautiful views...slightly pricey. I'm in town for business and Coconuts was recommended by the concierge. Found a seat at the bar both nights at around 830pm. You get water views and views of the sunset if you show up at the right time. Service was amazing and the food was just as good. The bartender suggested I try the snow crab scoobies. Wow is all I can say. Snow crab claws cooked in a spicy butter sauce served with bread! I also ordered the crab cakes with Mac and cheese, which were great as well. My next visit I ordered the lobster BLT, which had so much lobster! What an amazing sandwich! Again the service was great! Bartenders were amazingly friendly, attentive and helpful. I unfortunately found a piece of glass on my plate that ended up in my mouth. I luckily didn't bite into it but pointed it out as a FYI. I was NOT trying to get a free meal since my company pays for my meals but they ended up comping my meal anyways?! The manager even came by to apologize. I would have been more than happy to pay for my meal but they went above and beyond. What's great food without great service and great views to boot? I highly recommend stopping here!

Woke up early for Sunday brunch because some co workers told me I had to eat here while in town and it was not a let down had the lobster Benedict and it was absolutely amazing the service was fast got my food in no more than 5 min. The server was super sweet. Only complaint would be that it was so pack but with such good service and such good food I get it! Amazing !

Went with a group and everyone was very pleased. It is a little pricey but we were expecting that. Anything with lobster is a great choice. Mondays are also half priced bottled of wine, so that is also a plus!

From the street this place doesn't look like much. But the food and atmoshphere are wonderful! We ordered oysters, their house salad with papaya dressing, and their crabcakes along with a side of mac and cheese. Everything was perfect! The salad was amazing! There was toasted coconut flakes on the top that gave it a slight sweetness, but complimented the salad so well. And the crab cakes were the best I've ever had. There was no filler in them just crab and I could not believe it! They were so moist and perfect. I highly recommend Coconuts! Great food and a great time!

Kate B.

Perfect! Everything is amazing. There isnt a thing here that is bad! The crab claw scoobies arent on the menu, but they're definitely worth ordering. AMAZING! The conch fritters are phenomenal! We had a "flight" of oysters and teo of the features. Everything was spectacular. Sometimes you go to a place with great atmosphere but bad food. Sometimes you get great food and bad atmosphere. Coconuts has both! Don't miss the place - complimentary valet parking and water front tables coupled with amazing food and great service. We went on a friday night and still got amazing service. We'll be going back!

We decided to give this place a try base on others reviews. The place located at a nice neighborhood with a water view. The menu is very limited. The food is typical American fried food. Nothing special with food. My wife and I tried Mahi sandwitch and Shrimp plater which were tasteless. Extremely disappointed!

A little on the pricy side, but worth every dollar. They had a dollar off of beer during happy hour too. Best meal so fat in Fort Lauderdale

Great atmosphere. Quality local fresh fish entrees. Excellent, Friendly service. The busy-ness speaks to its popularity. Worth the wait (20-25 mins. At around 6 pm).

You can't beat this location, on the water such a great view and atmosphere. Always great service. Order the scoobie snacks (crap dip) it's so good! My whole table loved it. The lobster roll is pretty good too. When we went they had a special crab cake sandwich and it was the best sandwich I've had in a long time.

We came on a sunday around mid-day and docked my brothers boat with the help of their staff member. It was really busy and had to wait 35 minutes but we got a free show watching a staff member feed the tarpon and jacks swordfish scraps in the intracoastal. I had the chicken caesar salad and it was good but the chicken was about 3 quarters the size of a regular chicken breast and for $14 overpriced. The staff was good but i expected a bigger portion for $14. I would come back but only for special occasions.

Loved it. Found this place through Yelp and spent our last night on our honeymoon dining here. It was delicious. My husband had the comfort bowl with lobster and ate every bite. Their key lime pie is also to die for - not a crumb left. Service was also excellent. No complaints about this place - it is a must when visiting Fort Lauderdale!

Chris B.

Stopped in with some friends and family while staying overnight in Ft. Lauderdale. Had the opportunity to sit at the bar facing the kitchen ( not the best view) but it did provide an insight to the staff and their attentiveness to cleanliness and quality. The bartender is very knowledgable regarding the selection of wines and friendly as well. While we did not have the view of others this did not detract from our experience; the food was great; the people friendly and service above average. Recommend it to those looking for a taste of the land or sea.

Standout in the Be Nice group. Known for its fabulous Sunday brunches, half price wine on Mondays and fantastic waterfront views. Lots of daily specials that centre around seafood. Comfort food that is elevated. Expect a wait on Sunday's, but enjoy the homemade weekly donuts while you do!

Bret E.

Alright alright, I was the crazy guy who flew in, stayed at the Marriott across the street and read the reviews. They are spot on. I was famished and needed food and a beer. I ordered the coconut (of course) shrimp and local brew and watched the magic happen. When I arrived, I did it in my normal cursed fashion, being very independent (read that solo) and ate the bar. The place was packed with a lady who bragged on her way down the elevator at the Marriott that "they" had reservations. It is everything that is being said about the place. Bravo and well done. Ok, now I'm going to stager very sated back across the street and pass out, as I came, solo.

My husband and I drove up to coconuts from Miami. We were looking to be on the water, enjoy crab cakes, lobster and get him a good cocktail. When we arrived the wait for the restaurant was 2 hours. So don't go there hungry on a Friday evening! (Or just make a reservation). The host suggested we head over to the bar where its first come first serve. It was packed and there were tons of people waiting but we scoped out a couple who was settling their bill (working in a restaurant for many years it's a good trick I learned). Just as they got up we swooped in. The cocktails were stiff and nothing out of this world but our bartender was awesome. We ordered the lobster club which was Delish- buttery, Yummy, Etc. we also ordered the boquerones (white anchovies in vinegar) if you're a close minded eater you're probably thinking "anchovies - gross, they are salty and fishy" but you're wrong. Boquerones are nothing like that. Sadly the ones at Coconuts were on a lame piece of toast and prepped with lame garnishes. Done mindlessly and just plan lame/ over priced. The best Boquerones you'll ever have will be at Contigo in San Francisco. Then (because the dining portion got rained on) they moved all those folks over to the bar and opened up the menu. We ordered the crab cake with a side of fries and it was AWESOME! I've eaten fresh crab cakes in Maine with crabs we caught and I gotta say these were pretty damn close. Over all a nice experience. Too bad there isn't much else to see or do once you're done eating. Las Olas is a cesspool of drunk tourists and locals but we recommend coconuts!

I must have caught this place on a bad day. My date had the steak, which was tough and overpriced. I had the snapper with pinapple relish, and it was good. The service was not what I expected for this price range as the waitress did not check on us until we were done. For a lunch bill that was 60+ Dollars for entrees and soft drinks only, i would not go back.

Boon K.

Great location right on the water. Highly suggest the scoobies.. and ask for extra bread because the butter sauce is heavenly. The conch fritter were very tasty too. super fluffy full of conch and it came with a good tangy sauce. I had the fish tacos and I was indifferent about it and it might be because it was a lot of fish and almost no cabbage or pico. My husband had the lobster roll and I was eyeing that the whole time so that could also be why I was indifferent with my tacos.
(4)
Ginger J.

The food was good, but not five-star worthy. I had the blackened fish of the day. I ordered oysters that were brought out at the end of my meal instead of an appetizer (the waitress was cool and comped me). I waited a long time to get my bill. The waitress was working really hard, so couldn't fault her.

Erin S.

Great brunch! Great for waterfront dining! Unique specials! This is definitely one of my go to places for a nicer brunch in Fort Lauderdale. The wait can be long unless you go a little early for Sunday brunch. It also helps to be flexible about sitting inside rather than outside, but the outdoor waterfront seating is one of the reasons I come here. I love the lobster roll. The lobster itself is prepared well and the yummy buttery bun makes it even better. Scoobies are also really tasty, but plan on garlic breath for the remainder of your day. It's a tradeoff worth making. I do wish there were a better selection of omelettes or a chance to "make your own". It seems they do three omelettes, love um or leave um.

Matt M.

This place has it all! I have been here at least a dozen times with family, friends, and girlfriend. Every time I go the food has been amazing, the service quick and polite, and sitting looking out at the water is the cherry on top. I recommend going for half price apps, can't beat that value. Also order their scoobies which aren't on the menu. This is a must try restaurant for both locals and visitors to Fort Lauderdale beach. Parking is by complimentary valet plus tip. Attached is an oyster pub and you can order from both menus since it is the same owner. If you look up the owners other restaurants they have been equally pleasing but coconuts has the best location.

Danixa L.

Attempted to have Sunday brunch here yesterday. .. the wait was an hour and then the pimply face host tried to give us the crappiest table in a corner. I asked for a different table and ended up waiting forever more while people that came after us got tables that should have been for us. .. finally I looked at the menu (while still waiting) and brunch was finished!!!! The lunch menu was one page and unimpressive... obviously this place is super over rated. Not only did we not stay for lunch, we won't return and i hope this review keeps others at bay. Especially when there are soooo many options in the area.

Stopped by after taking the afternoon riverboat cruise nearby, amazing! My wife and I tried three different appetizers (half price!); conch fritters, coconut shrimp, and smoked fish dip. It was all great. I also tried the mac and cheese and it was delicious! Highly recommend and would definitely go back!

Beth P.

We were hankering for some key lime pie, and a good view was just a bonus. We stopped in during that shift from happy hour to family dinner time on a beautiful Friday evening. The place was hopping, but since we were just after drinks and dessert, we were able to head to the bar and find a spot pretty easily. It took some negotiating with diners at high-tops to squeeze in to the bar area, but once we got there, we have lots of elbow room. We got a few drinks and had some pie, and enjoyed the sunset over the waterway. Service was great, quality was great, prices were just about what we expected. We need to make it back for dinner, for sure. If anything changes after we have real food and a true dinner experience, I'll be back here to update.

John C.

Wonderful waterfront views. Service was great. Walked across the street from our hotel. I ordered the swordfish, grilled with a side of peas & rice. The fish was dry and lacked flavor. The peas and rice were tasty. Someone in our group ordered the ribs. I gave him a hard time for this. Who travels to Fort Lauderdale, finds a restaurant on the harbor and orders ribs? Afterwards, he confirmed with me that he did not make a good decision, the ribs were not good.
(2)
Phil P.

Excellent timely friendly staff and great atmosphere. My partner and I enjoyed oysters and a bottle of rose with a great view of the intercoastal. However, food was below average at times. Excellent oysters. Great tomato basil salad appetizer (best part of the meal). But the bread to my clam sandwich was burnt on one side and underdone and soggy on the other. The lobster roll was below average compared to other venues and my deviled eggs lacked flavor. I highly recommend going during the oysters happy hour.

Jonathan N.

Coconuts has a great location on the intracoastal, waterfront view... Went there on a Tuesday night and it was pretty well packed. The wait for a party of 2 was about 45 minutes, unfortunately not really much bar space to wait. My dining companion and I split a house salad (good) coconut shrimp (very good) and the lobster roll (not so great). We each had a cocktail from the specialty menu, nothing too amazing and definitely poured with a light hand. I would have given four stars if not for the long wait and comparatively high prices.

Staff service was good, they were courteous and attentive. Food: oysters were good, I had 6, all different, all good Octopus salad was overly dressed and salty, I wouldn't order again Fish tacos: amazing Banana pudding: another exceptional dish Drink: house brewed ale; not very good, wouldn't order again Ambience: very nice, over the water. Overall excellent, I would come back again. Prices were adequate.

After a long day of driving (but with amazing scenery) from Palm Beach, we found that we deserved something nice. And what can you do better than going to a place like this. And when upon your arrival the waitress says all bottles of wine are half price, you know you're in the right spot. We both never had snow crab before, so we tried their "scoobies". Wow. Those are amazing. While you don't really taste the crab itself, but more the mixture with a lot of garlic they're soaked in, it's still delicious. Furthermore we had a tuna salad (which had a lovely sort of soya-ginger dressing), and a baby rack of ribs. While it's a place known for its seafood, they sure know how to cook ribs! Altogether, I think you should go here. In any case you will have lovely time at a lovely place, with a great view over the harbor. While the scoobies were a little pricy in my opinion ($17 for 8 legs), everything seems fairly priced.

Wow! I've eaten at Coconuts probably a half dozen times, but when I just ate here for lunch last Saturday, it knocked my socks off! We had to wait to be seated for about 20-30 minutes, so the three of us ordered mimosas at the bar, which was a lovely start! We sat outside, but under fans, and the temperature was perfect! Our waiter was friendly and fantastic! He clearly explained all the daily specials, which all sounded amazing! We ordered the fresh burratta with heirloom tomatoes, which was super! For my meal, I ordered the fish (Mahi) tacos and both of my companions ordered the crab BLT... And they have delicious deviled eggs as a side dish. We LOVED everything! I give the atmosphere a 10, the service a 10, the food a 10... And the fact that they are dog-friendly and not necessarily kid-friendly an 11!
(5)
Joey K.

We recently ate at Coconuts with a few friends. The wait was 40 minutes to be seated, but once seated we still had a considerable wait for food. We saw another table get the ice cream cookie sandwich dessert and I joked with our waitress one of those would make up for the wait, and at the end of the meal, one appeared, on the house! The staff was very friendly and the food was good. I would eat there again if I was in the area and wanted seafood.

Great place right in the heart of the Ft. Lauderdale marina. I recommend the scooby's if you like seafood. Butter, garlic, red pepper and crab claws. You can't go wrong

Emily B.

Great tourist spot - prices are very expensive and the menu is limited but varies - you can order baby back ribs to a lobster roll. The conch fritters are very large, but if you cut them open, you will only find a tooth sized piece of conch in each fritter, so they taste more like a hush puppy, which was disappointing. The dipping sauce was excellent, though. The fish tacos were very good. Service was great.

OMG... Scooby Snacks are a MUST! Definitely worth the 45 minute wait. We decided to wait at the Raw Bar attached to Coconuts and have a drink Although we only tried the Scooby snacks and shared the scallops (best I've had). I cannot wait to go back. Field trip to Ft. Lauderdale in the planning. Found out this restaurant is locally owned and has a couple of sister restaurants near by (BBQ... Tried today and was just as good, and a southern restaurant). A must when visiting FLL.

If you like crab and oysters this is a perfect spot with a view, appetizer scooby's are a must. If you like Guinness, they have a great porter that is good to keep your interest going. Good service compliments the water view.

You have hit the goldmine if you are in Lauderdale and you show up at Coconuts, ready for a scene by the river, mansions of yachts docked for your amusement, and a scene of locals belly up to the bar. The bar is small, but it's a safe bet if the wait for a table is too long. Order a beer. In the humid afternoon spent laying by the sea, a jumbo crab cake with big lumps and a light seasoning with a cute salad are in order. For those with more adventurous stomachs, maybe the schniztel eggs benedict. Amazingly, they are expertly executed, with a spicy hollandaise and a crackly crunch when you bite into the schniztel. Get a Florida craft beer if it is too early to venture into their cocktail menu. There is also a pleasingly extensive and thoughtful wine list. An absolute gem in the heart of spring break city.

Tim R.

One of my favorite places. Draws quite the crowd especially on weekends. They make an excellent selection of custom chef creations with a beach town flare. You can dock your boat but need to get there early.

Vincent V.

Have always been curious to try this place but always felt like it was more tourist driven and lo and behold that's what it was. We started with the conch fritters and snow crab scoobies. The conch fritters were extremely bland and really seemed like no conch at all and just a savory donut. The sauce they paired with it was good, but without it they were a total fail! The scoobies were good, but a little heavy with butter sauce and kind of wish it was more savers I went with the lobster roll with Mac and cheese. The lobster roll was extremely disappointing. Heavier in mayo than I wanted and yet again lacked the flavor I was expecting. It was ironic because I had just had two lobster rolls in Maryland and DC the previous week and it gave a nice comparison to somewhere I just ate recently. The Mac and cheese was pretty good, but had a strange seafood taste to it. My wife went with coconut shrimp, stuffing and French fries. She was fascinated with the idea that they offered stuffing as a side and ironically enough it was the best thing we ate... Extremely tasty filled with fresh sage and sausage it was delightful. French fries were crinkle cut and had a little bit of seasoning on them and tasted pretty good the coconut shrimp were pretty standard fried shrimp with a nice accompany of coconut shavings. They were good, but a little much for a main course. I would suggest going with it as an appetizer. Overall this place is not a wash, but there are many better choices around.

James C.

Wow, just wow....shared everything with wonderful bride. Crab claws, Fisher Island oysters, heirloom tomatoes with blue cheese, coconut shrimp, crab cakes and topped off with Key Lime pie. Bartender Alex and server Richard were extremely efficient and helpful. Everything, I mean everything was delicious!

Love this place! While we waited for table had oysters from the raw bar and pomegranate martini was awesome! Conch fritters for appetizer, absolutely delicious crab cakes and sword fish which was the catch of the day! Everything was great, service, food, view...we waited about 15 min on a Wed night, this place is always packed!

Kevin K.

Cold food after a long wait and the management could care less. Gabe was a very friendly and helpful waiter but...the featured dinner was sold out at 6:30pm. After waiting a half hour for our food I found out I had to order something else. When we finally got our food it was cold. We were offered dessert but we weren't in the mood for more cold food. To top it off we realized the bar charged us more for our drinks, waiting for a table, than what we paid during dinner.

Seamus B.

This place is super solid for great eats. The view is spectacular, great crowd and not crazy prices. I like to see the dogs out on the veranda. I will bring mine next time for sure. But the most memorable thing? The kids that work there are dynamite servers who know their stuff, are well-presented and always looking to be helpful. Makes me think there's hope for the future when I see young people in their 20s the caliber I see here.

K C.

The best seafood restaurant in South Florida!! We ate here several times when we lived near Fort Lauderdale and never had a negative thing to say about it. All of the staff are so friendly and helpful, the food is fresh and beyond delicious, and the scenery along the Intracoastal is pristine. There's always a line to get in but it's well worth the wait! (Tip: avoid peak dining hours or arrive later in the evening, like 8-8:30ish, and you won't have to wait as long.)

Delicious and fresh, best fish and chips, light and crispy, ahi tuna salad fresh and yum! Mahi Mahi tacos are juicy, everything was amazing, Mahi over heirloom tomatoes, soo good. But very expensive unfortunately, $10 for slice of cheese cake, expensive drinks, beautiful right on the water though, see pelicans, birds and tarpon fish!

Went to Coconuts today for the first time with my family. It's the perfect choice for people on vacation in Fort Lauderdale and want to eat great food in a great location. I recommend eating outdoors. We sat under the shade in the corner and had a great view of the Marina while staying cool (thanks to the help of the fans and water misters). It took them under ten minutes to find and set up a table for 6 which was pretty impressive. Our waitress was great with recommending the best items. We had lobster (forgot the name) for appetizer and it was phenomenal. The lobster club, chicken pasta, Mahi Mahi fish, and crab cakes were all amazing as well. The only thing I would suggest is to not order the Mac and cheese side. It was a little dry and pale in comparison to the other menu items. Overall, this is the perfect location for lunch. The free valet parking didn't hurt either.
(5)
Robert S.

Great place. Can order items from the raw bar next door or off their menu. Right on the water. Some do not like the forced valet parking but we ubered to get there. Started off with snow crab claws, although not local were great declawed and swimming in a slightly spicy garlicky broth. We then ordered the grouper cheeks and snapper both which were spot on. The snapper had a sort of hash brown coating to add crunch and the cheeks were lightly battered and fried. Nice little place and they have an off the menu for kids.

Ernesto M.

From the Bloody Mary all the way up to the main entrees, Coconuts delivers and is above reproach! Btw, I have to give kudos to our waiter Matthew. He provided the type of customer service that makes you want to leave 50%. The Scoobies are to die for. You cannot come here and not order them. We came for Sunday brunch and I ordered the seafood frittata. Huge portions of lobster, crabmeat and shrimp. Everything was amazing. We definitely be back!
(5)
Carol K.

Gotta love the locals who always send me to their favorite spots! And Coconuts delivered on great service, good food and a seat outside on the water! What more could I want?? I stopped in for lunch and was quickly seated outside by the intercoastal . My server was great, pleasant with plenty of reccos on her favorite items on the menu. I ended up with the fish tacos which came blackened with plenty of tomatoes and spice. Delicious! And you get a choice of sides- the beefsteak tomatoes with balsamic and basil were just the thing! Know before you go that this is attached to GB oyster bar and the menus are different so if you are hankering for something specific , make sure you sit in the right place. The locals are friendly and the view is fun as there are boats coming and going all the time. And this place is reasonable as the prices with drinks only ran about $20 a person. For those of you driving- also know that there is free valet parking. And if you are here during Spring break- make a reservation or you may find yourself waiting about an hour for a table. Go for the food, stay for the service and the view!

Wonderful time. Brought my parents here on a Monday night. They had 1/2 bottles of wine that night. So we all had about 3-4 rounds of drinks for less than $30! The Mahi fish was AMAZING! Great atmosphere and you can sit by the bar while you wait. The wait is usually an hour long during dinner rush hours- but it's well worth it. I can't wait to visit again.

This spot is great. Lovely outside ambience. Friendly staff, amazing food. You have to try the "scoobies" appetizer--blue crab was in an amazing buttery, spiced oil served with bread for dipping. Salads are nice, and I almost always get the lobster roll. Rose sangria shouldn't be missed either! Usually a long wait (and they don't take reservations), but always worth it!

Thanks to Bart our waiter for taking such good care of us. His suggestions were yummy! Tried scoobies for app, and hubby had prime rib sandwich and I had crab cake sandwich special...all delish! Try the devil eggs, they are good too. Valet parking is comp, but give guys a tip, they work hard. Ask for outside table to enjoy views. Thanks again to Bart. ..enjoy

I figured this place would be touristy and not worth the money but I was SO wrong! First of all the setting is really beautiful on a marina. The sun sets in the background. But most importantly the food was incredible. We brought my Mom and Dad here on vacation for her birthday and every single thing we ordered on the menu was delicious! From the appetizers to dessert it was awesome. Be sure to get here early as it gets full very fast.

Scoobies and the stone crab claws were the favorite with our group. Excellent service!

This place was amazing while we were on a business trip. The 1.5 hour wait didn't seem long while at the oyster bar next door. The scoobies were to die for. It had the perfect amount of butter, garlic, and red pepper.

This was our best meal in the Ft. Lauderdale/Miami area. Tasty, substantial lobster roll, but the Ore-Ida-like fries can be improved upon. Tasty, garlicky blue crab leg starter. Refreshing cocktails were perfect while sitting on the outside patio overlooking the canal. This place has vacation written all over it, and I say take it!

Where do I begin? Bartender was very unfriendly. Our server was good, but the food was horrible. I ordered one of the specials that was "recommended" and paid $15 for a couple of tomatoes and basil with some dressing. My friend got the lobster roll which was cold and $17 and it was imitation lobster. Food was horrible. Then, they offer complimentary valet which is kind of weird because when I went to get my car, I didn't need the valet to get my car because I could walk to it myself and the valet guy made a weird face b/c I wanted to get it myself. Ummmm there is no point in valet. I don't know what all the rave is because it was horrible and over priced! I only gave it two stars since its on the water, but not worth the trip or money!!!

I have lived in Fort Lauderdale for over 18 years and never had such a bad experience as the one I had today at Coconuts. It's sad to have places like this in our beautiful city. I took visitors from out of town in my boat to eat there and it was very embarrassing to have to leave the place because after making us wait for one hour they told us we could not eat there because some of the kids were not wearing shoes. Are you kidding me? We are in Florida. Coconuts is in the water and invites boaters to doc at their doc. They saw the kids with no shoes and didn't not bother telling us until after ONE hour. A guy by the name Richard was the one who kicked us out and made fun of us with other waiters as we were leaving I'm embarrassed to have places and service like this in our beautiful city. Red Cow, Foxy Brown do you treat your customers like this too? I never recommending this place to visitors again.

I had some time before I needed to be at the airport so I looked this place up on Yelp. Glad I did. The food was fresh and tasty and fast. I had the conch fritters and fish tacos. Mmmmm...wish I could have them again now. I sat at the bar and the service was great! The restaurant looks out over that bay...a great setting for a girl from Oklahoma. I would highly recommend this place.

ChyAnn C.

I love the location of this place. Coconuts has tables inside and out. The outside tables sit near the water. The seating for inside was quick. The menu has several good fish options and nonfish options. The specials menu seemed to be larger than the daily menu! My husband the fish sandwich and I had the crab cake BLT. My husband said his was average in quality and taste. From the looks of his empty plate, I believe he really enjoyed it. I loved the crab cake BLT! Yummy!

Went on vacation and it was great! I would have given four stars but I thought it was weird they don't open open until 11:30 and we thought the website said serves brunch. But the food was fantastic, the scoobies and heirloom tomatos were great!

Nick O.

As others have mentioned the wait time can very long. We waited about 90 minutes for a table for two . Once seated the service was to be expected for a busy Friday night . Though we waited for a while to get seated the food came pretty quickly. Since coconuts and the G&B oyster bar next door are owned by the same people you can order from both restaurants. That being said we chose to order more off the G&B menu . The scubi snacks were amazing and very flavorful. We had some grilled and raw oysters that were tasty . The cream sauce on grilled was unique . We also got gator ribs which fell right off the bone. Overall a great experience just expect to wait for a table .

Went on Monday night to celebrate my hubby's birthday right before the gorgeous sunset closed in our beautiful view. Loved everything...the accommodating hostess, the waiter (Adam) who greeted us with the 2 mimosas I ordered in advance. Adam was very knowledgeable, friendly and attentive. He offered great recommendations including the delicious "Scoobies." Our appetizers, entrees and AMAZING desserts (5 star Coconut Cheesecake) left us in a food coma...lo..including my 4 yr old. Monday night is 1/2 price bottle night and needless to say, FULL HOUSE (but luckily only waited about 20 min.) Of course, the wonderful ambience we were surrounded by just added to the experience. Cannot wait to go back!

Love the selection of different oysters. My fav were the fen de la baie and Quonset point oysters both from Canada! Lobster roll is amaz balls!!

Donna U.

When they say 75 minute wait they mean it. At least they had an outdoor bar where we could have a few drinks while we waited. I had the swordfish special with lump crab and a pesto cream sauce, the flavors were all on point but the swordfish was a little dry for my taste. Service was pretty good considering it was crazy busy. They had half price bottles of wine which wasn't advertised but was a nice surprise for a Monday. Nice views of the water if you sit outside.

Great food ! Get the scoobies or the specials Great service always. Can always flag someone down if needs anything as so many servers Pet friendly and love the cute photo board by toilets Great water view and space to dock up ( always space if you come on your dinghy) Good happy hr ( love fish dip , but coch fritters too much bread and too little conch IMO but I'm spoiled from Bahamas ) and Monday bottles of wine 1/2 off and wife always takes back rest for boat ride back home!

Yes, I am a fan! We had lunch there today, even though it was busy, the service was not too bad. We started off with some drinks and conch fitters. The conch fitters were fresh and tasty. And for lunch I had the crab cake BLT...what a wonderful idea. Who could have thought to put bacon and crab cake together. And why I didn't think of it first? Other people in our party had the lobster roll and fish taco. The lobster was great and there were a lot of lobster in the sandwich. Fish taco was pretty good too. At the end of the meal everyone was full and very satisfied. We will definitely come back again.

I don't know what part of this place was more amazing. The feeding of the seagulls, the lobster roll, the scoobies or the be nice punch. The place does not disappoint. Worth the wait, we waited 45 minutes. Will def be coming back and most likely checking out their other restaurants.

Dan F.

Wandered into this place when I got ignored at a nearby joint. This place was near perfect. Same menu items I wanted, same prices, but attentive service. Great view of the intracoastal. South Florida has never quite gotten it. No future in treating tourists like shit. This place doesn't. Excellent smoked fish dip and very good conch fritters that were moist and delicious. Could be my new go to waterfront meal when I'm back in town.

Miranda P.

Very very average. Disappointed by the service and the food. Honestly hardly ate any of it. Overpriced and didn't live up to the hype. The burger we ordered sadly came out rare, I guess they might have got it switched. They took it back, after he took two bites out of it and they apparently put the eaten burger back on the grill and brought it back to the table. Which is honestly disgusting.... I don't know about you, but I don't want to eat off a grill where other peoples half eaten food has been.

This is one of my favorite Sunday brunch spots. It can get really busy so be prepared to wait especially on holidays. It is right on the intercostal which makes it relaxing to feel like you are sitting on the water. It's also fun to watch the boats pass by. Now about the food... It's delicious! They offer complimentary homemade donuts while you wait to be seated. I dream about the chicken and waffles. I have visited Coconuts twice and luckily chicken and waffles was the daily special both times. The service is okay. The first time I went it was very good. The second time it was awful. It was on Father's Day so I am letting that time slide. Highly recommend it! Go try it out.

Christopher E.

This restaurant was recommended to us by the desk clerk of our hotel, which was located near Sawgrass Mills. I must say it was well worth the 30 minute drive, and hour wait for dinner. The drinks we had while while waiting for a table went perfect with the view of the water, and the sun setting in the distance. I had the jambalaya which was fantastic. Others in my party had the fish tacos and the comfortable bowl, both of which they said were extremely tasty. When in town I definitely plan to revisit this restaurant. Preferably out of season, to avoid the hour wait.

Myrna S.

We were looking for a seafood restaurant that would reinforce our costal experience before certain members of our group headed back to frosty northeast Ohio. Coconuts was the perfect concluding restaurant to our warm weather get-away. The view of the docks and intercostal waterway were fabulous and the food delivered equally well. Sweet and tender stone crab appetizer followed by a flavorful fresh catch (Mahi Mahi), crab cakes with creole mustard and crisply-coated coconut shrimp. The coke slaw was sweet and fresh and stood out as some of the best we've had. We concluded with the giant ice cream cookie sundae which was large enough to feed at least four people but delicious enough to be completely devoured by only three!
(5)
Wendy K.

We ordered the lobster roll & green goddess salad. Please keep in mind. I only rate on the food. Taste: pallet pleasing, integrity of main ingredient (lobster in both cases) not lost or overpowered by anything else on the dish, everything complimented each other very well, fresh Quantity: just right however they don't skimp in the lobster! Drinks: white sangria & Bloody Mary, Bloody Mary had infused jalapeÃ±o vodka and pickled green bean - tasted pretty good and it ranks on my unique drinks list, sangria was not great but not bad Service: friendly, down to earth, attentive, know their food Ambiance: casual, water view, comfortable Overall: great food, great atmosphere, GO. P.S. 18% gratuity, but they certainly earned every penny of it

Dave O.

I can't say enough good things about this place. Have been a few times for brunch and it's been wonderful each time. Nice regular menu like the meat fritata and some downright fun specials like cookie dough stuffed french toast. Good portions and even better service. Great views on the deck as well. A favorite of mine in Fort Lauderdale.
(5)
Gail E.

If you are lucky enough to dine here, Richard is the most entertaining waiter in our 51 season career of dining out. He advised us to order the Scoobie Snack! Off the charts - don't miss it! They feed the fish table scraps - how environmentally cool is that?! And then for an encore, Richard offered to saw his assistant in half. All that for the cost of a delicious meal in Fort Lauderdale:)
(5)
Sean F.

Best meal we had, hands down, while visiting Fort Lauderdale. We read the reviews and decided to come hungry and try the plethora of suggested appetizers rather than entrees we'd heard about. Here's what we tried: Conch Fritters - A+++ Crab Scoobies - A+++++ (best option on the menu) Jerk Chicken Wings - A+ Lobster Roll - A+ All of the choices were good....but the Crab Scoobies was just head and shoulders above the rest and the Conch Fritters were a close second. Add in friendly attentive wait staff, a great atmosphere right on the water and I wish I could give more than 5 stars. Thanks again for the great lunch. We will visit again when down there

Great food , friendly service, the drinks are really good but light on the alcohol , the view amazing, plenty of boat parking for a family sunday, you can see the fish underwater when you dock, it is for sure a very romantic place if you want to impress someone, this could be the place

King L.

Casual with good food. I had the lobster roll. I read all the reviews about how delicious it was. It was just ok for me. My husband's salmon hash was better. The kids burger is actually a regular sized burger. This was not a hit with the kiddies. It would work for older kids but not so much the younger ones. The grits was the best thing for me and even the baby (10mo) approved. If you go on a Sunday around 12/1 be prepared to wait for about 30-45 min. Oh, if you are not a fan of dogs in a restaurant, beware. Lots of doggies having lunch with their owners. Would go back for the view but not so much the food.

Julie R.

Ate dinner here last night. The food was amazing. I had the potato crusted snapper. It was exactly as the waiter described - crunchy on the outside and moist on the inside; possibly one of the best snapper dishes I have eaten. There is an off menu appetizer of crab legs that our waiter recommended - devine! The resturant is very busy and when we got there at 7:30 there was an hour and half wait. So plan ahead. There is an oyster bar you can get food and drinks from while waiting. Nice location. Good outdoor seating. Inside looked a little dark. You might want to pack some mosquito spray in your purse if you can. I would absolutely come back here next time I am in town.

The first time we went to ask for a table the hostess told us it was a 75 min wait. It was 8:45p so I asked her what time did they close. She then gave me a rather dismissive look and said 10p. Of course we left and I took note of this considering it was highly rated. But decided to go back again but with the goal this time I would make reservations. Well they did not take reservations but a kind hostess named Sailor took our names and I arrived with my 2 children in tow. She accommodated us spectacularly and quickly even though they had a 45m wait when we arrived. The waitress and staff were nice, but they were slow. It took 15 min to get our drinks and another 15min to get 1 half shell clam raw bar order. Our dinner was served over 45min later. The menu was circumspect with little to chose from and their specials did not have a prices. Considering we were not impressed thus far with the food we decide to go conservative since I had no idea what the prices off menu were. I felt like a cheapskate however and did ask where the prices were but our server could did not respond with an answer, which was odd. So being cautious with the limited menu I decided on the fish tacos and my family got appetizers and chicken Caesar. I know conservative but with children it was safe and unfortunately the quality of everything we were served was about a 3 out of 10. The raw bar clams were very tiny, which I was pretty surprised to see. Coming from the east coast we usually can get a descent six clams but Im still baffled by the decreased quality of fish in FL. The 2013 French Sancerre wine was ok, half price for a 42.00 bottle which they packaged so you take with you if you dont finish it. Was ok. Upon getting the bill they charged us a suggested 30% in tip. which I did not think they deserved and could not understand why they did this. So for those in FL its a standard for them to make tip suggestions but make sure you do the calculations on your own. Since some restaurants calculations are off and in NY 15-18% is expected. When we checked however their suggested tip calculation was wrong and we were more than fair and paid 20%. BUT the quality of food and service I honestly did not think they deserved it and really hate that customers are harassed to tip when the restaurant service does not deserve a high gratuity.

Had lunch here while in town for a friends birthday with a party of 8. We were seated immediately with a nice view of the harbor and the amazing yachts. Started with the "scubies" which were crab claws in an olive oil red pepper, bacon and herb sauce. These were not on the menu but sooo good! Conch fritters were fresh and great. Oysters and spinach and artichoke dip were also yummy. The most popular main for lunch was the special of the day, the crab cake BLT. It was incredible! Fresh lump crab meat with little to no filler pan fried with the bacon on a soft bun with slaw, tomato and onion.

I ordered the chili to start. So far the best chili I have had is Houston's. I found this chili to be on the salty side. Not a lover of salt maybe it's me as the woman next to me couldn't get enough. I ordered the Lobster roll with a side of cole slaw . The menu says New England so I was expecting a piece of corn, it's only natural, right?

The wife and I had dinner here on Valentine's day. About 30 mins to an hour after leaving the restaurant i got sick to my stomach, spend the entire night curled up in a ball in pain as if Mike Tyson himself landed a body shot right on my stomach. Literally did not sleep the whole night. My wife felt intestinal discomfort too, but she had the filet mignon and only a couple of bites from the crab cakes. I had two whole crab cakes. The next morning I talked to the manager Elliot, who immediately came off as an extremely pompous fellow. He acted as If I was pulling off some sort of scam, stated there was no way his food made me sick because they are very strict and food turns over so quickly there that it can't possibly ever go bad. I can't even remember the last I have been sick from eating something, I have even been to Mexico several times, ate the street food there, drank the water, and never got sick. However in the end Coconuts was able to break the streak and took me down for the count. In the end Elliot told me to write down my address so he could "send me something in the mail", he was referring to a gift card. Perfect, this is just what I wanted, another meal in the restaurant that made me shed tears of intestinal pain on Valentine's night. I was treated as If I was trying to get a free meal, instead I was legitimately voicing a concern. Unfortunate, I guess one person getting sick is small game for them, no cares were given. If it matters I paid $94 and change for the meal and left a $20 tip.

We ate here for lunch one day because of all the built up hype, hoopla and raving reviews.....it was just alright. The outdoor seating overlooking the water though is spectacular and quite picturesque - this is the best part of the place. The spinach artichoke dip did not taste fresh; in fact I'm pretty sure it had been sitting out for quite awhile. The fish tacos were nothing to jump up and scream about - they were somewhat on the dry side. Our waiter seemed to drift in and out whenever he pleased -- not very attentive, so I'm sure the reason why some of the food quality was lacking was due to laziness on his part. Believe it or not the key lime pie took the longest to get to us, even longer than the main course. I could have went to Publix and back with a key lime pie, walking on my hands. For such a sophisticated atmosphere with only valet parking the least they can have is a competent waiter. I am taking my BMW and business elsewhere.

We had a quick dinner here tonight before we had to head to the airport. Parking was a little busy, but it was nice that they had complimentary valet. Our server, Junior, was awesome! He took our orders right away and got our food out quickly so we could make it to the airport. I ordered the fish tacos and they were really tasty!! They even came with fries, which is a big score! I would definitely recommend this place!

Ronetta C.

This is my second time coming here, this time around I got: - Coconut Shrimp (appetizer) Soo good crunchy, nice size and not overly sweet.. -Lobster, bacon and cheese sub, yes it's as good as it sounds. They do not discriminate with the amount of lobster you get in each of your two five inch roll, the bacon flavor mixed with cheese.."drool".. Yes I said TWO!! Bring your appetite very fufilling and you get a whole lot of fries with you dish. Overall the service was great, nice view of boats and water. Always a pleasant experience coming here.

Sarah M.

First things first...they offer complimentary valet parking at the restaurant. Therefore, you do not have to hunt for beach parking. This was such a relief after dealing with traffic. When we got there, we waited maybe 15 minutes for a table (OFF PEAK on a Sunday, a little after 2), so I did not have to wait forever. We sat at the bar in the meantime and ordered Mojitos. Served in a giant glass, they were more on the limey side, but good none the less. Our bartender was super nice and attentive. By the time I took a couple sips, the buzzer went off and we relocated outside to a view of the intercostal. It was a beautiful day, so I enjoyed that very much. They have a wide variety of seafood items on the menu. It's kind of like 2 restaurants in one, because you can also order off the GB menu that's also on the premise. The lobster corn dog, crab empanadas, and salmon carpaccio definitely caught my attention (from GB menu). If you are not a fan of seafood, they have a couple items on the menu that are chicken dishes, like the comfort bowl, which is a pasta with cheese siracha sauce and can be served with chicken. Our waiter was also very friendly and had no issues offering suggestions and explaining the more popular items on the menu, such as the Scoobies (tons of pics on Yelp already). We ended up ordering: -Grilled chicken sandwich with brussels sprouts on ciabatta bread: this was a special for the day and I had to because I LOVE BRUSSELS SPROUTS! This sandwich was delicious. More on the safe side, no doubt, but the chicken was soft and cooked well. The brussels sprouts were not whole (for some reason I thought they would be), and were cooked in a creamy garlic sauce. The sauce was not overbearing either. Ciabatta bread was soft!!! -Mac and cheese: this was my chosen side. It was a bit more on the bland side to be honest. Had I known better, I would've went for the fries. I spotted another plate with fries on them and they were thick crinkle-cut and perfectly fried. -Lobster Bisque: pretty good. Your standard Lobster bisque. It had one really nice meaty piece of lobster, as well as some other smaller pieces in there. -Stuffed shrimp: 4 shrimps, cut butterfly style, with stuffing inside (breading and bacon) sitting in a layer of creamy sauce. My friend did not think the bacon flavor particularly stood out. The sauce had a herby seasoned taste to it. She did not seem thrilled. Lol I really enjoyed the service and atmosphere. Everyone was laid back and every staff member we encountered was friendly. Would be five stars if every dish we ordered had a "wow" factor. It's just a tad overpriced for what you end up getting.

I have lived in Fort Lauderdale and South Florida for over 30 years. Coconuts has always been in this PRIME SUNSET location next to the Hall of Fame Aquatic Center and the mega yachts that line the marina. It has always been a favorite of ours and in recent years has evolved into our "go-to" spot. The menu and food is AMAZINGLY good as is the service. In the old days it was cold beer, grilled cheese and fries but the new owners have expanded the restaurant and the menu into one of the best places to eat in Fort Lauderdale. Coconuts sits on the intracoastal with an amazing view of the western sky and the sunset. It is simply one of our favorite places to go to just sit around for happy hour, grab an appetizer, or a main meal. It is also where we go on Sundays for brunch and Lobster Benedict or French Toast. If you live here or are visiting and get a chance to visit this Fort Lauderdale gem, try the Scoobies, Crab Cakes or anything else on the menu or their daily specials. There is always an extensive specials list in addition to their every day menu. I can't say enough about Coconuts. It is a buzzing place and sometimes there is a bit of a wait. Not sure if they take reservations so you may want to call ahead to check. It will be worth it as you sit by the water or inside in the AC. We love this place.

We started with the lobster scoobies! Wow. They were seasoned well and the bread to soak up he butter/olive oil and garlic was fabulous. Very good start!! For an entree, I had the crab cakes. They were pretty traditional but tasty. My husband had the catch of the day...very good. We ended up doing dessert...wow! The cheesecake was wonderful. The crust was delightful by itself with graham crackers, butter coconut and I think some oats. So yummy. The berry drizzle was high tart and sweet. We loved it. And, the view was amazing and the staff left nothing to be desired. If I lived in Ft Lauderdale, I'd be a regular.

I had EXCELLENT service today from Noel. I had him pick a drink and oysters. He brought back a frozen mango Mojito and it was delicious. Even my friend got one after trying mine. He picked the oysters and they were great. He was on top of everything and very friendly. Coconuts never disappoints me.

Came for Sunday brunch and everything was delicious. We arrived about 11am and there was no wait so we were immediately seated outside, overlooking the water. Our waiter was friendly and listed the specials (all which sounded delicious) that we ended up trying 2 of them. We ordered the creme brulee french toast special, breakfast sandwich special with 2 fried eggs, ham, and pimento cheese, the shrimp and grits and coffee and mimosas. They also offered complimentary homemade cinnamon sugar donuts while we waited. The food came out fast and we had no problems with anything. Upon discovering a pesto sauce on the breakfast sandwich, we flagged down our waiter to ask if it had nuts ( husband is allergic) and he quickly asked the kitchen to get an answer ( thankfully no nuts :) We will definitely be back for the delicious food and beautiful view!

David K.

Went there to celebrate a birthday... Very nice... Service was very decent and the food was really good. I had the crab cakes which were awesome and not filled with breadcrumbs or other junk just yummy crab. My fiancÃ© had one of the nights specials... Mahi mahi grilled with crab on top with a chipotle sauce... Cooked to perfection and tasted amazing. Except for the noise level this place would be perfect, you can't hear yourself think, but it's just a side note to a great dinner!!!!

Love the ambiance at Coconuts. My boyfriend and I enjoyed a "Staycation" over MDW and Coconuts was right across the street. Great drinks and great views of the intercostal and the skyline of downtown. We sat at the bar and had the fish dip as an app which was delicious! My boyfriend had the Jambalaya for dinner and I had the special which was corvina. Our bartender was great too!
(5)
Becka C.

Best lobster roll I've had in a long time! Very fun atmosphere (we were out on the patio next to the marina), drinks at the bar were fun, try the PiÃ±a Colada! The jambalaya was very good and so was the burger and mac and cheese. Was a fun spot with a group of 6 including two kids. They are pretty busy so don't go there too hungry!

Seth Z.

Good service, excellent view. We brought our catch there. (Make sure it is prepared before you bring it).. They did a good job on the King Fish we brought in. The crowd was mixed. A lot of tourists.. Some locals. Drinks were ok.. Sit on the deck for a good view. IF you bring your own fish in here is the details: 1. They weigh the fish into 8 Oz portions. If you have 2 lbs of fish it is 4 portions. $12.50 each. 2. You must buy a side dish with the catch (each portion).. They are 3-3.50. one item is $5. so if you have 2 lbs of fish you must buy 4 sides. 3. Blackened or grilled. That is it Parking is free if you eat there.

Came here on Labor Day Monday during their happy hour specials. They offer half price appetizers between 4pm and 6pm Mondays through Thursdays. The coconut shrimp is so good and was my favorite appetizer that I tried. The jerk chicken wings & conch was decent but not amazing. The lobster roll was also okay, it had nice big chunks of lobster which was nice.

Great restuarant, friendly staff, and decently priced for the quality. Scoobies are amazing! Sandwiches are also amazing!

Unbelievable service from the moment we arrived. The wait wasn't near as long as predicted, so don't let that deter you. The wife and I had coconut shrimp, tomatoes with vinegar and basil, Mahi Mahi, and swordfish. Everything was outstanding. Definitely one of the best restaurants in Fort Lauderdale.

I haven't even been for dinner yet and I already love this spot! We were seated after a long beach day under an umbrella right on the water! Great view of the boats! Their happy hour consisted of half priced appetizers and $7 for half dozen house choice raw oysters. We had the peel and eat shrimp, coconut shrimp, and plenty of oysters! Oysters came with this garlic sauce on the side, and cocktail sauce with horseradish! Was my first time and I was very impressed! I think my favorite was the peel and eat shrimp though...Big prawns, and genuine freshness. We also shared a lobster roll which wasn't on happy hour but looked so good we had to try! We got it with a side of macaroni. I loved the lobster roll, huge chunks of lobster and not over seasoned so you could really taste the lobster. The red sangria was also a delicious cool drink for an outdoor dining experience. It did get a little hot as the sun started to set but overall was great. Our server made several great recommendations. I look forward to eating more fresh fish here!

Seriously. The maryland blue crab claw / Scoobys appetizer -- one of the best apps ever!!! Do not skip. Extra bread is key too to dip in the scampi sauce. And the outdoor view of the harbor!

Definitely worth the wait! We went at 7:30 Friday eve and thought for sure we got there in perfect timing not too long of a list ahead of us and the quoted time was 30min(for outside). Then within minutes this place was booming!!!! Waits about 45-60min!! Needless to say after 45 minutes we got a seat on the deck and it was great. While waiting the 4of us decided to try the highly recommended blended mojitos --- they were expensive But tasty! Too sweet for us to have another round but a good start...only wish was for more alcohol in them! Food was good...starters Conch Fritters & Fish dip. Conch was great loved the sauce and fish dip was ok not the best I've had but still good! Entrees we all had Fish Tacos & Lobster rolls -- mmmmm good! Glad we choose them. The lobster was so fresh and perfect mix I had it with coleslaw and it was a nice light meal my girlfriend had fries which she regrets cause it filled her up too much she couldn't finish the lobster. Fish tacos had a lot of stuff on them that was their only down fall otherwise good pick good fish! One of the guys had the Peas and rice side, but it wasn't anything great. Overall good meal, great atmosphere and good service! Everyone was very nice despite the crowd of people... Oo and they are dog friendly!!! Well be bringing our four legged babies next time for sure:)

The fish tacos were great and the fries crunchy, just how I like it. Two people can share a plate because they give huge portions. If you coming by yourself, bring your appetite!

happy hour: monday - friday: 4 - 6pm appetizers half off seafood restaurant featuring deck seating offering an intracoastal view serving new american cuisine with a tropical flair and a hint of fusion. some dishes include mahi mahi tacos, coconut shrimp, asian tuna salad and daily specials like softshell crab hoagie and pork belly banh mi. ingredients are very fresh and quality. exceptional service reminiscent of upscale dining by a well-trained staff with a business motto of "be nice." our service team, lance and amy c, were extremely accommodating and genuinely wanted to provide a great experience.

The view is amazing on the intercoastal side. Went for brunch and had the lobster Benedict. The lobster was incredibly dry - quite old - but what would you expect since lobster is not indigenous to Florida. Sure they ship it in. My suggestion is to stick with the drinks and oysters in their bar area.

Scoobies. Garlice breath. OMG SO GOOD! The jambalaya was the bomb diggity! if you go here and you like crab, butter, and garlic. get the scoobies. I crave these all the time and wish I lived closer.

Great wings. Frozen monitors are the best. Good deals on oysters. The bartenders are very friendly. The crowd is laid back. And they don't call it "coconuts" for nothing.

During a recent vacation to Fort Lauderdale we visited Coconuts for dinner. We were so disappointed!! To start, the waiter was disorganized and he wasn't clear on the menu options. In his own words, "there are many items that are not on the menu and I can't even remember them". Well, once we figured out the order the food was certainly nothing special. We order a crab cake dinner and a combination dish of clams and lobster dinner. We were baffled when the order came in! We had never seen such tiny clams, they were miniature! The smallest I've ever seen! The menu in this place is deceiving and not worth the trip. We were highly disappointed and we will never visit this over priced restaurant.

Stefanie A.

What a great place- the service, food, and view were all 5 stars. Worth the wait for a table outside! We enjoyed the raw oysters, the baked chicken wings, ahi poke, and for my entree I def recommend the crab cake BLT.

Natalie Q.

This may or may not be a tourist attraction. Despite what the reviews and 1.5 hour wait would lead you to believe, this place is just OK. Coming from Miami, I feel as though I am spoiled by both insanely fresh and creative seafood. The view is certainly nice, but the food leaves you wanting more and is a bit overpriced.
(3)
Idalis M.

Location is amazing. Love the vibe of the restaurant. Coming from an Island, I was expecting more. We start with the conch fritters, won't recomend it. Too much flour a lot of seasoning but no conch to be found. I ordered the special: cajun maji maji with veggies. It was good, the veggies red and yellow pepper were cook good; $25 ?! My bf had the fried snapper with pigeons peas rice. The fish was excellent the rice was edible, fish was small considering the $32 tag. I am only giving this place a 2 stars rating because of their wine selection. ViÃ±a Mayor on the menu! Common man?!. The specials were too espensive for the quality of the food. I won't come back. It is not worth $100 for a quick meal.

Lunch on the patio with a shaded gentle breeze and great service and delicious food and continuously refilled ice tea: it just doesn't get better. Recommend the crab cake over tomato salad; my lunch partner enjoyed the BLTC (BLT with a crab cake). Carol Southern

Excellent place. Great seafood, awesome view to the intercoastal, and friendly staff. I have eaten at Coconuts 4 times and have had a good experience every time. I highly recommend the fish tacos or lobster roll. Both are delicious. After 5 the raw bar opens and you can have some great, fresh oysters. I've already gone back, so I would say yes, I would goto back and eat here again. Highly recommended.

Salman K.

Staff was really nice, water-front seating, allowed for a custom order which was awesome. Scoobies were good, but they were $17 for an appetizer. Fish tacos were on point and the crab pasta was delicious.

Calvin C.

For a restaurant who had a slogan of "be nice" you would expect more. The food was okay and the service was not bad. But when you spend $60 for lunch for two it fell short. What really got to me is they only had "complementary" valet parking. But when my wife and I walked across the street to see the beach for 10 minutes they said we had to pay $10 for parking since we left the property. The valet guy wasn't even reasonable or nice about it. His attitude was rude and snotty.

David L.

Coconuts is always my go-to place when I can't decide where to go. I particularly like the blackened mahi sandwich. It's always a nice filet cooked perfectly. Although it gets its fair share of tourists, it's still considered a local's place, being right on the water facing west, making it a great spot to chill and watch the sunset.

Phuong M.

Amazing location and the outdoor seating has a great view of the intercostal with the pretty yachts that just makes you wish you had one! Scoobies!!! A must have! They are to die for and amazingly addictive! They are crab claws - either blue crab or snow crab depending on the season. (My favorite is blue crab but both are yummy). They are sautÃ©ed in olive oil with onions, garlic, scallions, and chili peppers. The sauce is just great to dip the bread in. By far my favorite on the menu. As far as the other stuff on the menu, the fish tacos are good and the lobster roll comes with a great portion of lobster. I had the pompano the other day with pineapple salsa which was ok. The food is a bit on the pricier side though. There's also complimentary valet which is a plus since it's so hard to find good parking near the beach.

Christina M.

First of all, SERVICE, SERVICE, SERVICE is AWESOME!!!! Not just our waiter, but every single employee we interacted with was great and smiled! Scooby snacks were yummy! Blackened Mahi sandwiches perfect! We walked out of Shooters and cruised here via boat. Coconuts just won new customers from the competition.

If you are looking for a fun place to learn kickboxing and get great result, I can tell you John Wai is the place to go. I love it there, I have been taking Kickboxing and it is awesome, it work every part of my body. The staff is great, you learn a lot from the trainers, they push you to the best of your abilities. It is just my favorite workout place, great music, great themes parties. never thought I could have so much fun working out and getting resluts too

Came here for dinner last July when my fiancÃ© and I were in Ft. Lauderdale. The food was delicious, service was pretty good and the outside view of the marina was just nice. What we ordered: Crab Scoobies (Snow crab claws with butter garlic and red pepper flakes, yum!) Lobster Roll with Mac and Cheese (It was pretty good, generous portion of crab meat, wish the bread was toasted and had some butter on it though, mac was ok) Mahi Mahi with Brussel Sprouts (Delicious! Fish came with heirloom tomato cream sauce, topped with crab meat, brussel sprouts was cooked with bacon and shallots, it was delicious!) Pecan Pie Slice with Ice Cream (It was warm, fresh and yummy! angels sang with each bite we took. lol) We'll definitely be back if we vaca in Ft. Lauderdale again.

I have only been for lunch here, but it was a great place to sit outside, soak up some rays, and eat some seafood. I always opt for crab when it is an option. Cocktails flowed, and the staff was very attentive. I would return.

Frank R.

Great place for lunch or dinner on the water in Fort Lauderdale. The staff is always friendly and helpful, they seem to back each other up to keep each table happy. The food is usually top notch with specials that are pretty inventive and delicious. Half price wines on Mondays and Tuesdays make an afternoon or evening even more special. Be Nice seems to be true there...

Very good seafood. The oysters were fresh and sweet. The shrimp tasted like it just came off the boat. I would def recommend the place to anyone visiting Fort Lauderdale. I believe that it's a good atmosphere, nice view great location and very good all around meal.

We stayed at the Ritz and this was a very easy, short walk away. Delicious fresh fish and great beer/wine selections. We sat outside with a great view overlooking the water and watched the yachts come in. Highly recommend.

Julianne Z.

Coconuts was a restaurant we stayed at, located right across from out hotel. It was recommended as a local favorite and the entire day, we just saw cars drive in and out of the parking lot, all wanting to have lunch. It is right next to a small inlet so they had really fresh seafood! I ordered the lobster roll and got a side of sausage and sage stuffing. At first, it would seem the combination wouldn't make very much sense, but after a couple bits of the lobster roll, which mixed with mayo, celery and large pieces of lobster, the stuffing would be a nice change in flavor. The stuffing was super soft, and moist, and the sausage and sage mixed in was delicious. Never had anything like it before! I you go for a brunch, it is really full so make sure you get there early or else you will have to sit in a super windy part of the restaurant!

Dana U.

Overrated! Let me try to make this quick and painless. The wait is at least 2 hours if you go after 7pm. We went at lunch time, they were not that busy but still told us they don't have table outside so we sat inside which was not nice at all. The food was sub par and over priced. Fish tacos were soggy and had no flavor. French fries were not fresh. We were two adults and 3 small kids and we paid $70+, the food was not worth it at all! The bathroom was dirty and though they say their valet parking is "complimentary" you still have to pay $5.

Very good food, very good service. Can't ask for much more from a restaurant. Average of around $25 per person for dinner. Right on the dock with great ocean views. If you're in Ft. Lauderdale, it's worth checking out

Robert L.

Thanx to Yelp it help me find this place. Valet were very pleasant and warned me to make sure there is space for us as we had no reservations. Lucky for us there was. Service was excellent and looking around me it seemed that everyone was in a good mood. We ordered our food and before we knew it the appetizers were already on the table. Blue cheese/tomato salad as excellent along with the blue crab (something) sorry forgot. It was suburb. Mu main meal was fish cakes, while DaWife had snapper. A complete snapper. She was so hungry I did not get a chance to take a photo. I tried some and it was excellent. And so were my crab cakes. View on the deck was so nice as we were getting the sunset while we were eating. Over all a nice experience and we will be back.

Was visiting Ft. Lauderdale and saw great reviews on Yelp. They have complimentary valet and it was pouring raining so this was a plus. They even offer you an umbrella. We were greeted quickly. Our waiter was fun and attentive. The restaurant was casual dining. People had on shorts and flip flops. (It's near the beach) We were on the inside but it's wide open so every seat feels like your outside. I had the lobster roll with corn on the cob. It was delicious but on the small side for the price. My corn on the cob was over cooked. I had a decent experience and would give it another try.

Justin S.

Very pleasant surprise I have been passing this place on a regular basis for years not realizing that it was there Gave it a try for a late Saturday lunch and could not be happier Went back for dinner and very disappointed Conclusion- it is the atmosphere of the late afternoon sun on the water and not the food that is the key to this place always being busy If you go wait for an outside table- it will make up for the food Food is mediocre at best My original review was a rave but after the last visit I won't return

Nick F.

Positively delicious crab cake salad, so good we came back the next day for lunch. Great atmosphere and wonderful people. It's right on the marina and there is a great view of the sunset. Reasonably priced as far as Ft Lauderdale goes. Highly recommended. Best place in town.
(5)
Morris M.

Specials are so much better than what the menu has to offer, which is quite lame really. I thought the food was average and the presentation awful. But the bottom line is that this is not a fancy restaurant. It's more of a casual place to hang by the water and drink beer and snacks. On the other hand, it is probably one of the noisiest restaurants I've ever been in. I couldn't even hear what my friends were talking about right across from me.
(3)
Sarah M.

Overall dining here was a really good experience! We had a dozen oysters, the coconut shrimp platter and the Mahi Mahi fish of the day. Everything was delicious, the service was good and the ambiance was nice - it was a great way to spend a lunch in Ft. Lauderdale. The only downside was that we came here hoping for brunch only to learn that they don't serve it on weekdays, but the lunch food more than made up for it. Would definitely come back here!

Chris U.

Coconuts is probably one of my favorite places to eat in all of Fort Lauderdale and is a regular stop on my "Welcome to Fort Lauderdale Tour" when people come to visit me in Florida. Owned by the same group that owns Foxy Brown and Red Cow, this place never disappoints. The owners have the right formula for great food and excellent service. First and foremost, the setting is great. Even on the hottest days, sitting out near the harbor, under an umbrella and a fan is the perfect setting. It's a great place to have a drink and I tend to go with one of their excellent cocktails, their pink sangria or one of the great beers they have on tap. On the food side, my go-to disk is the Crabcake BLT - everything is just perfect fromthe bun to the thick-cut bacon to their signature crabcake. It doesn't get any better. Their Blue Crab "Scoobies" are a great start, as is their excellent "not your same old boring" Heirloom Tomator Salad. To finish, their Key Lime Pie is to die for. It may be a bit of a wait, but my experience is that you usually sit WAY before the time that they quote you. Have a drink at the bar or at their adjacent O&B Oyster Bar, where you can grab a cocktail and a plate from the raw bar.

Andrew H.

I give this place a solid 3 stars. Nice seating on the intracoastal, decent service and very busy. However I think this place suffers from getting so busy they forget to focus on quality. I had the eggs Benedict with spinach and it was a little cold and the eggs were not runny as they should be. I could have sent it back but didn't want to wait and have the rest of my party have to watch me eat. I just think they are rushed and the kitchen cannot put out the quality they probably could if they had more time. Decent enough place but I have no reason to return since there are so many other places to try.

Echo L.

Terrible experience. Found a fly in my lobster roll. The first staff apologized quickly and said that they will provide a new one for us. Ok, fine. It's acceptable although I don't want to try it anymore. Then, two another staffs came and ask us if we want a crad cake salad. 10 minutes later, a waitress told us that we must pay for a new crab cake salad. I've no idea about it, and I don't want to waste my time on a lobster roll. Just pay the whole amount for my lunch and leave. Thank you for ruin my good mood in my vacation. PS. The rate seems not reliable. The view and the food is just ok.

We made a reservation for 6:00 pm on Friday and our party of 6 was seated right away. We had a table on the deck and the view of the sunset was beautiful. If you go to this restaurant only sit outside. I went inside and it was dark and looked like a totally different restaurant. The scoobies were absolutely delicious and the coconut shrimp entree was really good. If I visit Fort Lauderdale again I would definitely visit this restaurant again.

Eli R.

This is exactly the kind of ambiance my husband and I were looking for. A place with great food, pet friendly, and exemplary service. Our server Krissalee was very attentive and made sure to cover all the daily specials so we didn't miss a thing. And she brought our puppies water as soon as we arrived. We started with some steamers, crab empanadas, and clam chowder. The steamers (clams) were fresh and full of flavor from the broth they were cooked in. The empanadas were baked to perfection with warm lumps of crab. And the clam chowder was in a league of its own. We followed that up with an order of jambalaya and the appetizer portion of the coconut shrimp. The jambalaya came with a very generous portion of shrimp, chicken and andouille sausage. The coconut shrimp is a must try for me wherever I can and this is probably my favorite to date. We left before dessert to beat the rain but made it just in time to enjoy our entire meal by the water with the cool breeze and tarpon feeding right on top of the water. We'll definitely be coming back soon.

We tried 4 different things from the menu and did not like any of them. I have to say we are are not keens of seafood but it was highly recommend by a friend. Desserts in the other hand are out of this world.

Very disappointed with the service and food at Coconuts. Made a reservation for 14 for my mother's 70th birthday. When we got there we were given 2 separate tables and told they couldn't accommodate 14--wish they would've told us that when we made the reservation. The food was eh and the service was terrible. The server told us he would "take care of us" but didn't hook us up with anything and even forgot to bring my mom her birthday cake. Do not recommend for a special occasion.

Jessica F.

So I'm visiting from LA and was looking for a place on the water to celebrate my birthday. looked at a ton of places on Yelp and Google that had good ratings. Turns out Ft Lauderdale people are a tough crowd and rarely give 5 stars... But this restaurant kept popping up. So we called to make a reservation and Jennifer helped us. She's amazing first of all. If you need anything, ask for her (just don't be a complainer :)) my boyfriend and I had an awesome night. Every single drink, appetizer, entree, and desert was amazing. So fresh and tasty. Not to mention the service was phenomenal. My mom is a travel agent so I'll make sure she passes on the recommendation as well! Thank you Jennifer and Coconuts for making my birthday a great one!

Aman S.

Beware of this tourist trap. I am a local, and was less than impressed with this place. The service was extremely slow. Watch out for the 1/2 price wine nights (mon, tues) - the first several bottles that we ordered were "out of stock"... two of our folks ordered the pasta with shrimp and lobster, both of them were missing the lobster, and the wait staff acted ignorant about it. The blackened mahi fish special left a lot to be desired. I wouldn't go back here again.

Oh my! So during my stay-cation in Fort Laudy, we decided to head over to coconut's after soaking up the sun on a beautiful day beach day. At first we weren't sure whether to go there or not but I think coconuts ended up being one of the best ideas on our weekend get-away. The ambiance is super laid back and casual cool. The restaurant is literally on the water so if you sit outside you'll get a nice view of all the yachts driving by or docking to catch a bite to eat. It was definitely nice to eat some amazing sea food in a casual environment watching the sun set. Our server was extremely professional and informative on the menu. We started off with the conch fritters; might I add the best conch fritters I have ever had!!! Not only were they freshly made but the batter itself was just perfection. I've had conch fritters on various occasions but these called for a Foodgasm! My second favorite thing in the world is coconut shrimp and holy moly these were so good. Not too sweet like they tend to be in other places. Nice big fat fried shrimps came with French fries and coleslaw. Delicious as we'll. My boyfriend ordered the mahi and he said it was amazing. Love coconuts! Can't wait to try their brunch.

Linda L.

The service is amazing here. Our server, Emilio, was great! The environment is perfect this time of the year cause it's chilly enough to sit outside but with the heat lamps it's still bearable. I had the snow crab scoobies and it was so good, me and my friend ordered another one! The snow crab claws are tender and meat comes right out. The garlic butter it comes in is addicting and they give you bread on the side for dipping. Heart attack in a bowl but so delish. Then we got conch fritters. This is where one star falls off. There was so much breading and dough I barely got any conch. It was like dough balls with one small piece of conch and that's if you're lucky. Next was the oysters. This place has very fresh oysters during this time. I prefer sweet and fairly briny so the Martha Island one was my favorite. However, they had a new shucker working and it was a bit rocky and shell piece filled for my liking. The taste was still good though. The onion vingarette it comes with is my favorite pairing with the oysters. Overall, still a good experience.

Delicious crab cake and coconut shrimp! HALF OFF appetizers from 4-6 weeknights.. Makes the overpriced $12 coconut shrimp appetizer just right. Boy was it good!! I also had the crab cake salad (not an app)- Awesome. Just the right size and plenty of lumpy meat and not much filler. The salad is actually really yummy too- tasted like some sort of Thai dressing (not positive). Really nice patio, you can sit covered or not and it's right on the water by the yachts . Nice scenery for a visit on business.

Joyce L.

Always great food but I want to focus on how great the service was! Our server Stephen Norris was exceptional. He is knowledgeable on the food and beer selection to give the best recommendations for what our table would really like. Knocked it out of the ballpark! Very personable and always checking in and is right there when you need him. Talk about management material. Great job coconuts!
(5)
Will H.

We came to Coconuts while in Fort Lauderdale on a recommendation from a friend; he said, "It's not much to look at, but the food is amazing." He was right! Don't be fooled by the unassuming exterior. This is a great casual place for good seafood. Portions are generous and dishes were tasty. Also, if your tastes run to frozen adult beverages, they've got your back. This is a long-delayed review, but we enjoyed our visit very much and would certainly return.

3.5 Stars We've been coming to coconuts since the 80s and it's always a great spot for drinks seated out by the water (They do offer inside seating but it can be very LOUD). The service is hit-or-miss depending upon the waiter. The food overall is good but not excellent. I usually opt for the Mahi tacos with spicy siracha and a tangy margarita. They offer some unique sides such as deviled eggs or fresh beefstake tomatoes, which I appreciate although the crab cakes were not a hit, with any of us. BUT I REALLY WISH THEY WOULD BRING BACK THE COCONUT BREAD!!! For years they would bring it out before the meal and it was fabulous. The last time we were there we asked our waiter about it and he said that 2-3 people a night ask for it. But when I mentioned it to the manager she said 'no one ever asks about it' and it was 'a business decision to get rid of it.' She was a bit rude... So much for the customer being right. All I know is we loved the bread and we'd make a special trip down there to quench that craving. Coconuts is a good place for happy hour, a casual date, our bringing out of town friends out for a meal on the water. But it's a bit overpriced, can be a bit warm out on the patio and the wait is a time killer on weekends. So you were warned. ( ;

Arrived without a reservation on a Monday night during spring break. The hostess said one hour and was exactly right. Monday is half price bottles of wine, so our cocktail before we were seated was a very nice bottle of cab. Jambalaya was excellent. Served piping hot and just spicy enough. Lobster Roll was very good as was the coconut shrimp and the conch fritters Crab empanadas were very doughy Service was great.

Nicole S.

Heard great things about this place however, I did not experience that. I was first served hot beer. I sent the hot beer back & received attitude from the sever. I order steamers & 50 minutes later had not received them. I asked the sever what the status was, he said he'd check & then never returned. Needless to say, I'll never go back to this restaurant & wouldn't recommend anyone else to pay money for terrible Service & not receive their food

Amber C.

Definitely delicious! So glad we yelped and found this place! We were there 3 times in a 2 day stay. Crab cake BLT is a must, oysters were delicious, amazing strawberry lemon drop shots, espresso Martinis made right! We even tried to go back for the 4th time but they weren't open yet. Highly recommend.
(5)
J. S. C.

We had a bad experience mainly because of the service which is unfortunate. I ordered oysters and the waiter didn't bother to tell me they were out of that type of oyster. He did bring out oysters and charged me for the higher priced oysters even though I had no idea a change was made. The $ difference is small, but the principle is huge. It says a lot about the type of severs that work at coconuts. The food was a 3 star, nothing special. Just average seafood.

Ginger B.

We really enjoyed the peel and eat shrimp, the blackened Mahi fish tacos, and blackened Mahi sandwich! Everything was delish! We finished it off with amazing key lime pie and coconut cheesecake. The restaurant doesn't look like much from the outside, but the deck and inside are very nice. Casual lunch feel with really good food. I'd recommend it to anyone.

We were told about this place by someone at our hotel, so we ate here our first night in town. It is on the Intracoastal Waterway, so you get to see some very nice boats go by. We didn't have reservations, so we had to wait a little bit at the bar, but that worked out in our favor. We talked to a man at the bar, whi gave us the scoop on what to get. Our bartender and waitress were both super helpful. If you go, you must try the Scoobies (crab claws in a garlic butter broth). They were excellent. We also had an order of the coconut shrimp, which were very tasty. We ordered swordfish and mahi for our entrees and loved every bite. And they have very good key lime pie for dessert. Everything we tried was delicious. Can't wait to go back!

The Scoobies, as usual were delicious. (Crab claws). Mahi mahi with lump crab topping in a lemon sauce was very good and fresh. Brussel sprout side was great. Service was excellent.

We had lunch there few days ago. Had a table on the deck facing the harbor. Love it!! Thank you very much, Yelpers!! If we didn't look up on yelp, we would not even know scoobies exist. We ordered the scoobies for appetizers & they were delicious!! Don't give me wrong: our server was good. Just don't understand why he didn't tell us about scoobies & did not bring us the complimentary donuts until we asked when we saw they are on most of tables & overheard the donuts are free.

Food was delicious, and you can't hardly beat the view. Tarpon are very easily seen swimming right off the dock which was pretty cool, waitstaff was friendly and knew about everything on the menu. Great experience.

Terrific fish, poorly prepared. If you're serving a $30+ special, dear God, don't overcook it. In my case, a very good piece of grouper was absolutely scorched on the grill with just a rumor of tenderness left behind. In my wife's case, a beautiful piece of halibut was similarly defiled. If A) You're a seafood restaurant and B) You charge $80 for two beers and two dinners, I'd assume you'd have someone working the grill who knew what they were doing. What a pity.

This place is awesome! The view is nice and on the waterfront, if you catch it during sunset, you'll be in for a treat. The staff here is really nice, and their food is delicious! We had the following: - Scooby - crab claws in a oil based sauce to eat with bread, delicious and HOT (so be careful, and eat slow, I know its good!) - FIsh Taco - fish taco here is good and light - Lobster Roll - delicious lobster roll, so light and meaty, best lobster roll I've eaten yet - No Bake Coconut Cheesecake with Raspberry Drizzle - the best cheesecake I have ever eaten, everything just compliments each other so well in this cheesecake, we just wanted more and more of this! Overall, if you go to Fort Lauderdale, you HAVE to at least check this place out. Great view, great staff, and great food! You can't go wrong with that.

Was not pleased with this place. After viewing some reviews we went by thinking it's the greatest place for half off oyster. Turns out it's not half off and the waitress never told us after we called ahead and asked exactly how much the prices were during happy hour. Will never come again. Bad service.

This place rocks! We've been there twice, once for dinner once for breakfast. We had lobster mac and cheese, conch frites, crabcakes for dinner, coconut cheescake for dessert and seafood quiche, sliced tomatos and heirloom tomato eggs. All of these dishes which had seafood were delicious and generous with chunks and chuncks of lobster. Our waiters Emilio and Peter were courteous, articulate about specials. The restaurant is spacious and doesn't make you feel rushed even if when's packed. Choice of seating indoors, deck or waterside. My only suggestion to them is to add feta cheese to their serving of sliced tomatos. You must visit this place if you're in Ft. Lauderdale and perhaps you should go to Ft. Lauderdale to eat at this place

It's hot and finding not many good rated places around the beach for lunch until we saw the reviews and how many reviews for coconuts! When we got there it was about 30 minute wait for lunch so we went to the bar and got a drink. I got a frozen mojito and my boyfriend got a beer. Frozen mojito was refreshing and had a great balance. When we got to the table we ordered smoked mahi mahi fish dip as a app. and b.l.t.c. sandwiched. wow! so good, and it tasted so fresh. I will definitely be coming back and possibly with my dog! Since it is a dog friendly place!

While on vacation, we found Coconuts on Yelp and were instantly intrigued by the great reviews. We went around 7:30pm and were told we would have a 45-minute wait, but we were seated just 20 minutes later. Our quaint, candle-lit table sat on the deck outside overlooking the marina. To our surprise, we learned we had visited Coconuts on a Monday night, which is half-off wine night (apparently Tuesday is as well). My girlfriend and I ordered a bottle of Arlie's 7, a sweet white blend wine which was just $13.50 after the 50% discount! My girlfriend order pan seared mahi mahi topped with marinated lump crab meat and a side of mac & cheese. I ordered the crab cake entree with a side of french fries. Our dinners were absolutely delicious and don't let the mac & cheese or french fries fool you, they aren't just for kids! For dessert, we shared a generously sized piece of chocolate pretzel tort which was rich and decadent. Coconuts delivered the quality experience, from the service to the food, we had hoped to find. All-in-all, the price was on point for dinner for two, in a tourist area, with fresh seafood, a bottle of wine, and dessert.

Went here last night with my girlfriend and have a very good time. I called earlier in the day to make reservation, but was told that reservations aren't needed for smaller parties, just large groups. We got there and had to wait about 10 minutes (to get a seat outside on the water) so we went to the bar to grab a drink. We were happy to find out that every Monday and Tuesday it's half of bottles of wine. Any bottle. One we got seated, we had one of the best and most knowledgable servers greet us. She offered suggestions for literally everything and helped guide us through the menu and the list of specials. She was friendly, funny and informative. We ordered the scoobies and a variety of oysters to start. The scoobies were amazing and I highly recommend everyone to try them (but that could be the three bottles of 1/2 wine talking...). They are in a garlicky broth, so as long as that doesn't bother you, DO IT. For an entree I had the hog fish and my girlfriend had the stone crab. Hog fish was incredible. Very flavorful. Stone crabs were just OK. expensive and just ok. I would recommend this place to anyone in the Fort Lauderdale area looking for seafood. It's a relaxed atmosphere, good fun and good service. I will be back for sure.

Stumbled across this place. It was quite crowded, went to the bar and got lucky getting a seat. The bartenders were nice and attentive. Went in starving and ready for cocktails so I sat back and chose: Ahi Salad was spectacular: 5 Stars Oyster Shooters, nice selection, presented well, very fresh: 5 stars Lobster Roll with asparagus: Small portion of both. Nice tasting, but felt the portions were too small: 3 1/2 stars Cocktails were good, but expensive. 3 stars Clients in the restaurant were mature, a step up....what ever that means: 5 stars I would go back because of the grown up feel in this college beach town, but it is expensive.

My boyfriend and I were looking for a unique seafood experience in Ft. Lauderdale. Well, I think we found it with Coconuts! The restaurant is situated in a bay right near the beach. The weather was gorgeous too! The wait staff was super friendly and helpful. I ordered the BLTC, "C" being crab cake! It was delicious and paired well with the cucumber salad. My boyfriend got the fish tacos, a local favorite apparently, and for good reason. Both plates were delicious. I recommend Coconuts if you're looking for a cool, beachy experience in Ft. Lauderdale.

Metta W.

Fantastic FRESH seafood, awesome staff, great/relaxing atmosphere and waterfront views. Scoobie snacks and crabcakes are incredible. Fish dishes I've had were all perfectly cooked and presented. Mango/Blackberry Mohito's are dangerously good. You won't regret a visit. One of the best restaurants in the area.

Amanda L.

Our group of 4 ate at Coconuts last weekend and we all thought it was okay. The view from the back deck was beautiful as the sun was starting to set. We thoroughly enjoyed the warm crab appetizer special and the octopus. The cold crab claw and shrimp appetizers were both just okay; the shrimp were a bit mushy. For our main courses we all tried different things. I ordered the swordfish and thought it was pretty good. My boyfriend ordered the ribs and he said they were okay. My brother thought the jambalaya was very good but be careful if you order it because it was very spicy. His girlfriend ordered the tuna burger it was okay. Overall, it wasn't as good as we expected after reading the reviews.

Visited Coconuts for lunch today - very friendly wait staff & the food was delicious ! Vacationing in FL from New England and can say that I was thoroughly impressed with the seafood dishes / preparation for a very reasonable price.. Recommendations include scoobies (soft shell blue crab appetizer special) soaked in olive oil, garlic and crushed red pepper - perfect for dipping might I add as well as the Mahi Mahi fish tacos with pineapple mango salsa.. Can't wait to return to this place !

This place is amazing. We ended a cruise and had a night stay over in Ft Lauderdale, so decided to check this out. I had the conch fritters to start out and those were pretty good. I'm used to mediocre conch fritters at other places that are too chewy and not prepared very well. These were excellent. After that, I had the pasta with lobster and my dining partner had the chicken sandwich (more on that in a sec). We also had a few cocktails. The view of the marina is amazing. Make sure to ask for an outside table. We had two minor issues with the place, which is why it's not a five star review: 1) The wait is horrendous if you are a walk-up but we had seen the earlier reviews and were prepared. I think they need to hire more staff for their busy periods. Table turnover was way too slow. Our own service took over 30 minutes before we even had an appetizer. Don't get me wrong -- I simply sat and enjoyed the view -- but this obviously is one of the reasons that their wait times are so high. Also, they include an 18% automatic gratuity. You really have to provide 18+% service if you're going to do that for a group of *2*! The staff were AWESOME and I would have tipped them a lot anyway, but I know a lot of people would not be OK with that given the wait. 2) They ran out of one of their daily specials. My dining partner had wanted the fish cakes but they ran out. How do you run out of your special at such a busy time? That screams lack of planning to me. As I said, he ended up having the chicken sandwich, but was disappointed.

Not incredible, not bad, but good. Our waiter was having a hard time keeping our orders straight and seemed a bit flustered. Again, good, but I'm not sure that it was good enough to warrant a second visit.

Jon S.

Very upset. Took a friend and asked for a table by the water and when we were sat they gave us a table far from where we had waited an hour for. I let the waiter know and he said so has everyone. Everyone wants to sit there and that's too bad. Well I asked again and finally they moved us. We had ribs and I guess season is not in the recipe. She had the fish and that also was season less. Presentation of 30 dollar plates was more like something my niece would put together. Oysters for 40 with tip and then dinner for 75 with tip. It's just not what u want to spend and leave hungry. Seemed like no one cared. :(( drove all the way from Boca Raton for a below the avg of long john silver dinner.

In the context of the Fort Lauderdale food scene I am putting 5 stars here. Certainly the best experience we had over a week vacation trying to find some good places for dinner/lunch. Hopefully we made a reservation around 11AM and they were able to accomodate our group of 5 at 6PM (not my usual time for dinner, but eh?). We showed up 10 minutes late and the hostess was actually alread calling me on my cell. So that's a warning people: it's certainly one of the best places around so get a reservation be ready to wait a long long time! The menu is casual and seafood oriented. Everything we had was delicious including the alligator ribs! The Jumbalai was delicious although I thought the fish was a bit on the dry side (overcooked vs juicy). We also had their special that night which was blue crab legs and that was delicious. They have a short wine list which is pretty good and at very reasonable prices! You can have a bottle of the a delicious Provence rose for just above $30. That was a perfect match for the jumbalai. We actually tried to get back there the last night of our trip but even calling well ahead the same day didn't make it. So plan ahead! Oh and ask for outside seating because I just realized that I forgot to mention that the view is gorgeous over the marina!! Great place, great atmosphere!

After having not been here in Fort Lauderdale for a couple years, my first stop was Coconuts... and how pleased I am that it is still as amazing as ever! The menu is basically the same, so I got the Blue Crab Scoobies, and they're as amazing as I remembered. Since it was a hot day (as most of them are), I didn't do the Mac and went with Mahi Mahi... Cooked to perfection,accompanied by one of the best tasting corn-on-the-cobs I've ever had. It was a bit dry, but the flavor more than made up for it. They also had a pulled pork sandwich special, which my wife got and loved. With a side of cole slaw, it was exquisite, so non-fish eaters are in luck! I have been a diehard fan of Coconuts since coming here for the first time in 2009, and so happy it's still as good now as it was then. You're plain foolish if you don't go... It's that simple.

Great views, even better food. This is the perfect spot for some good grub and a beer after a long day at the beach. What I had: -Clam Chowder -Conch Fritters -Fries -Mahi -Mac n Cheese Everything was absolutely delicious, especially the conch fritters. They may be the best I've tried thus far (and I've tried quite a lot).

I came here for brunch with my family and wasn't really feeling breakfast-- ordering a lunch item was no problem. My burger was tasty, cooked to a perfect medium-rare, and came with some really tasty fries. I definitely left feeling satisfied, but the meal was somewhat forgettable.

Joyce J.

Nice place next to the river and the view of sunset. I'm a fan of seafood and they have different ways of cooking oysters, the ones we tried were good. It's full of people after 5, it's really popular, but with the price and nice location, where is close to south beach, it's worth to go there.

Dk L.

I'm torn with my review. The location was great. Long lines. The food was good. The drink was so-so. I think I'm rating it high is because everyone else is, but if it wasn't for the crowd and location, I would probably just give it a 3

Ankit R.

The octopus in the octopus salad they served was the best octopus I've ever had. It tasted fresh and was very tender. The fish of the day (pompano) however was just ok - a little oily for my taste. Overall a good experience though. Nice terrace.

Very disappointed. Ordered fish tacos and the tomatoes tasted old and the salsa had no flavor. Jerk wings were decent. Coconut shrimp and sauce were good. Lobster roll was dry like cotton.

We found the recommendation on Yelp on the way from the Lauderdale airport to Palm Beach. We were starved and wanted to sit on the water and enjoy the scenery. We arrived around 2 pm and were seated immediately. The place was crowded but not full. The waiter was nice enough to steer us away from things we thought we wanted to try. We tried them anyway (conch fritters) and he was right. Nothing but hush puppies with a bigger price tag. The rest of the food was very good though. Specialty drinks not so special.

Lindsay F.

Scooby Snack appetizer was delicious and highly recommended! We also tried and enjoyed the fish of the day (panko breaded red snapper) and the mahi tacos. We had to wait about 40 minutes for a table on a Wednesday night, but had a few drinks on the deck. Service was friendly. We would recommended if your looking for fresh seafood and a date night.

Steve K.

We got there 7 pm on a Friday night. Half hour wait at the restaurant, but still some seats at the tables in the bar (limited menu). Between the two there was a chef handing out spoonfuls of paella samples. Wow! I had the paella and a glass of excellent Pinot Grigio. My wife had conch chowder and grilled oysters, along with a Riesling. Everything was superb. By 7:30 it was crowded and noisy, in other words it was a very lively bar scene. If we lived nearby, it would be a regular stop for us. Go, you won't be disappointed.

What to do on a lazy Sunday?! Go on a field to Ft. Liquordale! Thanks to my handy Yelp app, I came across Coconuts ..With its consistent 4 star rating & over 700 review, this is a true testament to its awesomeness and boy did they deliver. My husband and I walked in shamelessly with our 3 year and his bag of Avengers action figures..this is not exactly a place you see a lot of kids running around, but the hostess graciously directed us inside to a more secluded area where we still had a nice view of the ocean and yachts lined on the dock. The ambience is very chill and a bit touristy, but not cheesy.. You still can tell that locals frequent the restaurant. The food was very fresh and the portions were more than generous. To start the hubs and I had a mojito..I'm a mojito snob and can attest that this one rocked. It was fresh and minty, none of this pre-mixed stuff. As for the grub, it was absolutely phenominal. I went with the crab cake sandwich that was on the specials menu..the crabcake was meaty, not overly fried, just perfection in a bun. The hubs went with the mahi tacos, which he devoured. My son had chicken fingers and fries, which we also finished off. They were not overly battered or salty. Just as perfect as a chicken tender can get. The wait staff was really friendly and attentive. It was a nice experience, which I am sure I will return to again. BTW- valet is free

I had a great time at coconuts... Conch fritters were amazing, mojitos with a floater shot got the night off to a great start. I had the Dungeness crab... Delicious! Great service and food! I would recommend this place for either a vacation meal or business, it has a nice casual balance to it...

Go here for the views, but not for the food. Not sure why this place has such high reviews. Yelp, you led me astray again. :-/ I had the crab cakes as the waitress highly recommended it. It was over cooked and didn't have much taste. My partner's fish taco was also blah. My watermelon margarita included some cheap tasting tequila. The best part of my meal was the fries. But that's it. And oh, the complimentary valet was a plus. Try once but after, you never need to return.

Umm Yeah! Happened to find this place thanks to Yelp and I am so glad that I did. Walking distance from the beach, this place was packed with locals and tourists alike. They have half priced bottles of wine on Tuesdays and Mondays I think. And the coconut shrimp are a must try! I also had some of the lobster roll, which gave a good amount of lobster. For my main dish, I had the special which was a grilled swordfish stuffed with crab. YUM! I will definitely make this a staple for when I am next in FL.

TheKrishelle O.

Gunner the host that greeted us is an amazing soul, happy, sincere and a delight. Our server Aimee was very kind and went over everthing slow and concise. We had the Spinach artichoke dip, scooby snacks, flatbread with humus plus avocado and coconut shrimp platter. The spinach dip is the best I have ever had (and you know I have it a lot!). James loved rhe shrimp and my flatbread was great. That being said I think they could offer more vegetarian choices such as the flatbread (no chicken) plus avocado, feta and cucumber, I will let them call it TheKrishelle! All people working here jumps in on each table to get beers etc., great idea because when all your tables are happy all the guests leave a bigger tip

Kristin K.

Just experienced Sunday brunch here, and do not plan to return. I was very excited to try this place based on the number of reviews and the fact that it was one of the highest-rated in the area...yet I was sorely disappointed. Our server was very sweet and had a great grasp on the specials of the day. Following taking our order, we did not see her much and had to remind another member of the wait staff about a missing drink (there were only two of us). We chose one of the specials (chicken fried steak sandwich with fried egg on top) and a brunch item (Morning BLT), starting with the "fresh donuts." We should have know based in the donuts that this place was a flop. The donuts were stale and covered in a watery lemon glaze. The chicken fried steak sandwich was COVERED in a very potent onion sauce and the steak was very fatty--it's only redeeming qualities were the fried egg and the ciabatta bread it came on. The BLT had a nice presentation, but lacked any flavor at all beyond the overly-smoked flavor of the bacon. No dressing whatsoever--I could have easily made this myself at home and saved 12 bucks. To top it off, the small portion of fruit that accompanied the sandwiches tasted moldy and were incredibly tart. A huge disappointment--please don't waste your money on this overpriced menu.

Went on a Tuesday, our server Annie, was attentive, informative, friendly and super helpful. All of the staff practiced veing nice, their motto. It was half price wine night (get there early) and she recommended a great Spanish wine to go with the seafod. We started with the scoobies, oh my...stone crab claws loaded with garlic! Wow, they were fantastic! My wife had the cobia and crab special, she loved it; and I had the pesto scallops...best ever! We sat, ate, enjoyed, and relaxed...no hurrying to get us out, a great atmosphere, even on a rainy night. We loved it and will definitely come back when we're in town. The only downside was the complimentary valet parking was backed up...they seemed frustrated, and forgot how to be nice. Overall, you have to eat here.

Colleen R.

Went here today for a casual business lunch. My companion had the lobster roll and I had the ahi tuna salad. We had oysters as an appetizer and the key lime pie for dessert. I can't give this spot all 5 stars because the food was good, just not great. The location is neat, right on the water, and the service was stellar. My companion said the lobster roll was just ok, it did not have celery bits (which is apparently standard for that type of sandwich) and the coleslaw lacked a bit of taste. My salad was good, the ahi comes in cubes and there are bits of mango, avocado and peppers, but these were all diced and small so the salad was a bit bland. The oysters were good. The key lime pie was WAY too sweet. We didn't leave unhappy, but we left not "wowed." Maybe the other dishes do the place more justice.

Audrey C.

I heard this place was amazing for brunch and it definitely lived up to it's hype. We didn't have any reservations and they told us it was a 45 minute wait. We waited probably a total of 10 minutes and we were immediately seated. I read from a previous review on yelp that you should choose to sit outside because you're basically paying for the view. They're absolutely right! It's expensive for brunch but it's worth it. The view, the pelicans, the bellini's The waiter even opened the umbrella up for us when it got a little too hot. I think I got the brisket hash and my boyfriend got the chicken fried steak sandwich. Both were really good and there were complimentary doughnuts ! I would definitely come back again if I'm ever in the area. Oh, and there's complimentary valet parking, guys!!

A good restaurant with inlet views and friendly service but hardly as it was sold to me--the best restaurant in Fort Lauderdale. The restaurant is mediocre. Oysters - jerk wings - lobster roll - blended drinks Nothing was a huge standout. I'd maybe order the lobster roll again though it wasn't as flavorful as other reviews here would suggest. The oysters had some grit to them. The water view is alright if you want to look at boats docked and inlet houses. My favorite is when a boat with tourist goes by and it's kind of awkward with you looking at them and them at you. I could see this place as fun on a sun sunny afternoon with a good ol' glass of wine.

Alexii N.

Great spot for food, drinks, and a beautiful view. This is a really popular place for locals and tourists. I come here very often and everything is always great: food, drinks, ambiance, service. Some of my favorites: *the scoobies appetizer (I may gave spelled that incorrectly), but they are crab claws tossed in butter, garlic, and chili flakes- so delicious * oysters- very fresh with a lovely mignonette, lots of options * also the octopus salad, sashimi tuna salad, fish sandwich, Mac and cheese, and deviled eggs Sit outside by the water- very relaxing. Overall a great place.

I thought this would be a lot fancier than it is. But that as my own expectation. That said, it's a bit expensive for what you get, IMHO. The location is excellent, the food was really good, but compared to the other properties owned by these restauranteur (Red Cow, Foxy Brown, and maybe a few others), I think this is my least favorite.

Suanne L.

Before my vacation, I bookmarked Coconuts to visit for a lazy brunch. With a location right on the pier and nearby to the beach, the location is pretty and easily accessible. Parking is complementary valet (which is nice because parking is hard to find in the area). There seems to be enough space for everyone even though it was a crowded Sunday morning. The ambiance is upscale casual, kind of like an older beach club. There were a good number of families and even a few dogs chilling with their people on the deck. When we walked in, we received a free plate of mini bacon doughnuts. That's right - sugar donuts with crispy bacon bits and syrup! What a great way to welcome people and keep waiting guests from complaining about standing time! The host sat us right by the pier under an umbrella. This was great because there was a short 3 minute rain shower, but we were protected and didn't feel the need to switch tables. We ordered: Lobster roll Heirloom tomato salad Morning BLT Food was good. The heirloom tomatoes were very fresh and the bleu cheese creamy and pungent. I liked the vinaigrette too. The lobster roll was succulent with the hint of butter on the split roll and the size was okay. Perry loved his breakfast BLT and it was pretty hearty. Ingredient quality was good and the flavors lean very all-American. That said, many items on the menu were a bit heavy. Service was nice but not terribly fast. For the laid back atmosphere, the service is just right, but I would advise against trying to eat in a rush here. Value is also reasonable.

This was definitely a place on my list of restaurants to dine at while I was in Ft.Lauderdale. We didn't get to have dinner here on our first night because it was already late, and they closed at 10pm. But we came here for lunch the next day. We wanted to sit outside, and there was a 10 minute wait which was ok. We ordered the conch fritters, crabcake blt, and blackened mahi mahi sandwich. Conch fritters were pretty good, but lacked flavor and conch. My friend had the crabcake blt and mac & cheese for her choice of side. I tried her mac and it was amazing actually. She said the crabcake blt was good too. My blackened mahi mahi was good. What made this dining experience 4 stars was dessert. We had the coconut cheesecake with raspberry sauce. It was really awesome. Very light. The raspberry sauce really wasn't necessary. If they had to put a sauce on it, they should've put something tropical like pineapple, mango, passionfruit, etc. The raspberry was a little out of place imo. Overall, good experience. Opt to sit outdoors because there's a funky smell inside, and of course for the view.

Michael S.

Can someone please explain to me how I have never seen or heard of this place?! Coconuts is located right on the water and is two restaurants wrapped into one. At night the other half opens up with a completely different menu. When we came here the service was super friendly and super attentive. They have so many good specials and menu items that it took a good amount of time to figure out what to get. In a quick and decisive move our group ordered some appetizers. We got the grilled jerk wings and mahi-mahi fish dip. This was obviously a winning combination that paved the way for more delicious food. Finally, I decided to go with the fish tacos. I don't think they could get any fresher unless they were still swimming. I HIGHLY recommend you try them out. They are topped with a delicious mango salsa that doesn't taste like mango. Great service + great food + great location Check it out!

I am giving this restaurant an extra star for the scenery and the waterfront view at the back patio. I came during dinner time and had an amazing view of the water and boats. The food however was just alright to me. I tried the new york steak, the special of the day which was mahi mahi with a side of corn on the cob and I tried a blue crab appetizer with garlic that was also the special of the day. Next door there's an oyster bar that you can go eat at while waiting to get a table at Coconuts. They have valet parking but you can find free parking across the street by the tattoo shop. The day I came there was a special for 1/2 off wine bottles. Our wine was $40 so we got it for $20. They let us take home the unfinished wine. For dessert I tried the chocolate torte with pretzel crust and whipped cream. I really liked how unique the whipped cream tasted. The chocolate portion was very rich so the dessert must be shared if you plan on completing it.

A trusted foodie friend suggested this place to my husband and I, so we knew we were headed somewhere good. Nope....this place was AMAZING!!!! Went on a weekday night around 7 and had an easy 45 minute wait. Not to fear, the outdoor waiting area is festive and fun with a great flow of tasty drinks. They cook paella outdoors on certain nights, which is an absolute must, if you happen to land on one of those nights. Try the scoobies, you won't be disappointed!!!

I'm giving this review 5 because with the amount of mediocre beach foo around here, this place deserves to stand out. With a view that overlooks the intercostal, the two tiered deck is a great place to enjoy the water. For lunch, I had their namesakes specialty.. coconut shrimp...delish! It was served with crinkle fries and honey mustard coleslaw. The dipping sauce is fantastic! My mom ordered the green goddess salad which was good but the dressing might not be for everyone, so get it on the side.

Okay so me and lady went to Coconuts like a couple weeks ago and I have been meaning to write this review because it was so good! First the ambiance is really nice we went on a Friday at about 4pm and it was just perfect. The weather was nice and overlooking the intercoastal is always a beautiful view. We had the spinach and artichoke dip and the coconut shrimp appetizers. I am allergic to shellfish so my lady said the shrimp was divine. The dip tasted homemade in house with chucks of artichoke in it. Yum! The lady had the crabcake BLT. and I had the Mahi Mahi grilled sandwich. Very good, well seasoned and the fries were fresh and hot. Portions were well worth the price and the freshness of the food. Service we great from the hostesses to the busboys. Oh and when you go have the Mango Mojito Freeze...to die for!!

Just one of the times that I was thankful to be a lone diner. The wait for a table was over 45 minutes. I went and sat at the last stool available at the bar in 1 minute. 10 minutes later I had a bowl full of blue crab claws and butter which were pretty tasty. Got to watch the bartenders, Jerry and Matt, run their butts off shaking up drinks for the lunch rush. Jerry did a great job of presenting the entire specials menu in between frantically serving drinks. The Scooby snack blue crab appetizer was good but the garlic was slightly burnt in the dish. The blue crab cake + bacon lettuce tomato sandwich was excellent with the pickled cucumber salad on the side. If you can manage to find a parking spot nearby then you should come try something here for lunch. Very tasty dishes. Lots of cocktails I saw them mix up at the bar looked good.

We visited FT Lauderdale for spring break and after eating here once we came back twice. The crab is wonderful. Give it a try.....

Not sure what all the bragging about this place is about - food is ok but nothing extraordinary and the place is always crowded which is a minus for me as I'm claustrophobic.

Went for brunch and was very disappointed. Long wait for subpar food and watered down bloody mary's. Will not be returning.

Kids meals were ordered first and came last. One order was messed up. It was very hot with no air movement. The fish tacos were not very good. Coconut shrimp was average, but overpriced. Atmosphere after sunset was good.

I stopped by on a Saturday night, and the wait was around one hour. I wasn't wanting to wait that long, so I returned Sunday, where I was seated immediately. Sunday was very mellow, with plenty of empty tables. I really enjoyed my meal, and the service was good, too. This place was recommended to me by a local, and I would pass that recommendation along to anyone who's close.

Visiting from Dallas and I was not disappointed. Service was impeccable. I will be back next visit.

We tend to eat at Coconuts when visiting the area because it's close to our preferred hotel. It's not worth longer than a 20 minute or so wait although there is often a wait much longer. Ordered the coconut shrimp, fish tacos and the wings. The wings and coconut shrimp were good but not great. The fish tacos were much to be desired considered the many superb options for fish tacos in the area. Service tends to be good every time we go.

Rachel B.

:( Look at the stems & brown leaves in my mojito :( AND the the 18 percent tip is added already...not much incentive to learn from mistakes! Too bad. The managers at this place seem too busy looking at the staffs rears (and giving 90 minutes promotional tours) to make sure that their staff are paying patrons & their drinks proper attention.
(2)
Andrew C.

was there 2/22/15 for the first time. Wow is all I can I say. The fried complimentary donuts were mouth watering. The service was right on and that should be applauded because of how busy they get for Sunday's. An amazing array of fine items can be ordered for their Sunday Brunch. The vegetable frittata was perfectly cooked with wonderful fresh veggies. The view is great right on the Intracoastal and free parking while dining.

Anthony E.

This place is fantastic. Took 20 mins to get a table by the water. The waitress was fun and full of personality. I had the Jambalaya. So good. It's a huge portion so you could easily split it with someone. The ambiance is fantastic. Sitting by the water, boats in the background candles and small lights lighting the area. Need to bring my wife here. :)

Daphnee P.

The location is nice but, I went here for lunch with a friend and we waited 30 minutes to get seated. After getting seated the service stared off well, then 10 mins into it we got a different server that was coming on shift. It was a little confusing because she didn't introduce herself and was repeating the specials of the day. Then after ordering our food, 30 mins later the server comes out and tells me that they are out of the lobsters dish and could I order something else. So I had to order my second choice. Then 5 mins later the same server comes out and says oh, it turns out we have the lobster roll and she asked me if I wanted to keep my same order. She had no idea what was going on. She promised the food would be out in 2 minutes but 15 mins pass and NO food yet. This server is truly awful..... I would not be going back to this place again.

Worth the wait for a table! This place has great food (the Scooby Snacks are incredible), the drinks are always good and so is the service. We also love the atmosphere, very laid back.

Asako-Sophia C.

Awesome food and service. Came on a Saturday night, party of three and had a 1.5 hr expected wait - we got a drink from the bar and watched the sunset, and were seated within an hour. Totally worth the wait. Must get items - lobster roll, fish tacos, side of mac and cheese! Note the mains come with a side. Portions are quite big. We shared the above two items and crab empanadas. It was perfect.

Came here for dinner on a work conference. Place was less than a mile from my hotel so I decided to walk here. Patio seating with a beautiful view of the harbor. Had their oysters to start and was delicious. Tasted like they were straight from the sea. Ordered from their special for the night- salmon with wild rice salad. When my meal came out they were short on the rice salad so they asked me which order side I would like so I had their Cesar salad. All very good. Highly recommend this place and the staff was amazing nice, as their motto "be nice". Love!

Went here for lunch today. Wished we would have went here for dinner last night too! Arrived promptly at opening time of 11:30am. Got a nice seat outside next to the water. Received our menus & our waiter arrived promptly to take drink orders. Just water for me & an iced tea for my friend. Perused the menu & thought we had our choices picked out. But then our waiter returned to read the specials. It was at least 10 items. Would really have liked to receive a printed list of the specials with their prices. When you sit with the normal menu for awhile you make up your mind before knowing there are more options available. Anyhoo, my friend ordered one of the special items. An heirloom tomato salad with blue cheese crumbles & a champagne vinaigrette. It was delicious but at $15 it was double what it was worth. I ordered the fish tacos off the normal menu. I was tempted by the crab cake sandwich special but had already set my taste buds on the tacos. The fish tacos were quite good. Lots of fresh pico de gallo with pieces of avocado in it. I chose the fries as my side dish but I think tortilla chips would have been better with it. Great setting on the water looking at million dollar yachts. Pelicans & seagulls fly by and land on the dock below. Huge tarpon fish can be seen swimming near the dock too. Only downfalls for the restaurant; no printed special sheet and I didn't care for the deck chairs. They are a aluminum metal the leave up attractive marks on the backs of your kegs if you are wearing shorts or a short skirt. A small cushion would be very nice.

We have been there twice and continue to revisit every time we come into town. Atmosphere is very nice with the outdoor seating and indoor raw bar next door. Make sure if you're eating outside, go at sunset or after so you don't fry. While you wait for your table grab cocktails next door. While we waited for our table at coconuts, we had the #10 mojito and raspberry mojito, salted shrimp, and selection of raw oysters (oysters served with vinegar only. Would have preferred a bit of cocktail sauce and red wine/sherry vinegar over cider). For dinner we had heirloom tomato salad with blue cheese crumbles and croutons (one of the best tomato salads I've ever had. So tender and fresh bursting with flavor). We also had the tuna tar tar salad. It was on a bed of greens with chopped mango and avocado with Asian soy dressing. This was amazingly good to the last bite. We had the watermelon margaritas which didn't live up to the mojitos. They were served with salt around the rim vs rock sugar (major fail). They were just ok but fresh nonetheless. If you visit coconuts ask for Tali. She will provide the best service around and will make the experience even better. If you have room after the fresh seafood and salads and are seeking indulgence, get the chocolate chip cookie ice cream sandwich. It'll feed 4 easily. Can't wait for our next trip back to coconuts.

This place was amazing. I ordered the crab cakes and mac n cheese. My friend got the mahi/coconut shrimp. One word: delicious. We were all impressed. There wasn't a long wait at all, as it was a Sunday night. Our waitress was very knowledgeable of the menu and all in all it was a great experience. I will definitely be back here for the food and not to mention the great view.
(5)
David L.

The food was amazing. We had the scoobies (crab claws) for an appetizer and the outdoor paella for the main entree. I think you need to get there fairly early or they could run out of the paella. They make a big batch during the day and when it's gone, it's gone. It has lobster, shrimp, mussels, chicken, and sausage with vegetables served over rice. One other person in the group had the cheeseburger and loved it as well. Mango mojito was our drink of the night and they are mighty tasty. Great service and great atmosphere.

Telma F.

Went in because of the good reviews. Definitely didn't disappoint -- started off with some snow crab claws drenched in yummy butter which we used to dip the bread they serve as well -- we tried the jambalaya and fried shrimp with mac and cheese and delived eggs. Only reason why it didn't get 5 stars was because our alcoholic drinks weren't "wow" but then again, i was there for the seafood.

We walked over from our hotel to Coconuts while on vacation. We waited to sit outside which was worth the wait, especially since they have this cool Oyster Bar next door to grab some drinks and oysters while we wait. The staff is fun and kind which always makes a dining experience better. Now for the dinner at Coconuts, it was amazing! We ordered the crab cakes to start, which were full of fresh tasty crab :) my husband had the blacked Mahi sandwich which he enjoyed. I loved my snapper special with fresh summer squash. Everything tastes fresh and seasoned to perfection; just enough to give flavor without taking away the freshness of the seafood. We already are talking about stopping back on our next trip out there! If you're in the area or willing to drive a bit, check it out.

Our waitress Cassandra was absolutely fantastic. Very knowledgable about the wine menu and honest about the menu. She was very impressive and helpful! I had the comfort pasta with lobster and it more than exceeded my expectations. Great cocktail list and we were there for half off wine bottles which was super fun! A great view on the water and a fun vibe. Dog friendly and a nice atmosphere! Also very helpful thy had complimentary valet parking because we couldn't find any place to park in the area.

Best food we've had while docking the boat in the ft Lauderdale area. Crab cake club sandwich is delicious and decent sized portions. $11-15 not bad for waterfront lunching. Definitely tying up again!

The food, the service, the atmosphere.... Everything was excellent. We loved it all. If I lived in Fort Lauderdale, this would definitely be a regular spot for me to dine at. It's minutes from the beach and you have an awesome view of all the yachts parked in the water. The price is very affordable too. We had half dozen oysters, scoobys, pulled pork sandwich plate and coconut shrimp platter all for 60$. Very friendly staff. Their motto is "Be Nice", after all.

Coconuts is one of the best restaurants in Fort Lauderdale. There aren't many local good places you can dock your boat at. Best deviled eggs I've ever had.

Shelvin S.

The service is fast, and the staff is attentive. The view and the ambience are also really great! However, I found my food to be mediocre. Since our server sold me on my crab cakes instead of the tacos. Overall, not too shabby, a bit pricey for simple offerings.

Gavvin S.

I ordered the Oysters and Herb crusted snapper. The food here is extremely visually appealing,lacks the flavor I'm used to. From living in a Caribbean country. My server was excellent. Looking around all servers seem to be well trained and full of education on their menu... My waitress was extremely friendly. I would return but for drinks only
(2)
Alexander H.

We were in Fort Lauderdale for a day and decided to try out Coconuts based on the Yelp reviews we had seen. We started our meal with an order of the Scoobies, which were very good. After that I had one of their daily specials. That day it was tilapia with crab meat and a tangy orange-based sauce, served with a side of rice. For desert we had some sort of chocolate cake a la mode, which was delicious. The entire meal was good, however I did find the Scoobies to be a bit overrated. Overall, the quality of the food paired with the excellent view made for a very enjoyable dinning experience.
(4)
Vickie C.

I have come to coconuts many, many times. This is the first time that the manager has ever approached our table. I believe her name is Tracey, and she was exceptionally rude. We were seated in the corner where none of the fan or misters were facing, which would have been fine but if it wasn't a brutally hot day in south Florida.
(3)
Reiko R.

We arrived at 10:45 am we were seated immediately, after 10 minutes a waitress finally came over she was very pleasant. We asked for a lunch menu which we had previously asked the hosted for, we ordered an ice tea which we were promptly served, after being seated for 30 minutes and not seeing our waitress again we paid for the teas and left.

Dawn G.

This place was awesome. We had to wait but it was okay, we went to the attached bar and ordered drinks, the bottles of wine were 1/2 off, the Bloody Mary was very nice. We waited outside at tables by the water and watched the boats. Our service was excellent. I was disappointed that they had run out of the paella, but I chose the crab empanadas which were very tasty. The hangar steak was excellent. One pound of crab and fries disappeared quickly from the college kid's plate. The coconut shrimp very good also. The desserts were nice also - we had the key lime pie and several of us split the chocolate chip cookie ice cream sandwich was very large and shared amongst 4 of us. I cannot stress how great the service was, our waiter was very attentive and I think went above and beyond in making sure we were happy. I did not like the high stool chairs, they were uncomfortable and several of ours had no place to prop your feet on so my legs were almost numb when I got up to leave. But that is my only complaint. I would definitely go back and would recommend to others.

Pao P.

We waited 2 hours. I ordered a stake salad. The menu said..mix of greens and stake, :/ well... I got just romain lettuce and the stake?? Not good! The beef was tuff. Price?? Tarahhhh... $16.00 Oh yeah...Wendy's salads are better

Stopped by while visiting our Daughter in Lauderdale, very busy, yet the service was wonderful and friendly. Food was equally delicious. Bravo to the owners of Coconuts. Perfect combination..

Kimberly E.

The service was impeccable. The food was wonderful. Ambience and view were great. Only thing I'll say is that the menu wasn't very diverse, and it's definitely at the high end of two $$ dollars signs. Should probably be more like $$$. Crabcake sandwich is delicious - mostly meat not filler. Friends enjoyed the pulled pork sandwich and deviled eggs too. Also they only do brunch on Sundays so don't get your hopes up.
(5)
Antonio L.

This was one of the best brunch places I have been to in a long time. First off, any place that gives you complementary mini donuts as a starter gets an extra "star". Coconuts is located on the intercoastal and is a great place to go on a sunny morning to enjoy the boats and paddleboards from the dockside. They have a great selection of egg omelets and special pancakes/french toast. They also off several types of champagne mixers with fruits like pomegranate. I had a cornflake crusted nutella and strawberry stuffed french toast which is one of the best that I have ever had. I highly recommend this place if you are in the Ft. Lauderdale beach area.
(5)
Tina P.

OMG came here again last night and it is still just as good as I remembered a year ago!!! Their coconuts salad is so yummy and that papaya salad dressing is addictive! Their cheesecake is also delicious! It's a bake less, nutless version made with coconut flakes. YUM!

Blue A.

You know..I was a bit disappointed. Not taking into account that the power totally went out (not their fault), I still can't do more than 2 stars. The view is gorgeous, but man is it HOT. Even inside it was pretty hot, where we were both sweating. 1/2 off apps for happy hour - good deal! Conch fritters - not impressed at all - Not impressed with the flavor and tasted like grease, but drenched in that sauce they were edible. Coconut shrimp - these were good, really good! The fried batter was delicious and the shrimp were pretty large. I got the Fish of the Day which was Mahi Mahi. For the price of the dish I expected a little large filet. I got it grilled and it tasted good. I had a side of Mac & Cheese which was really good (same one from Foxy Browns which I love so much.) The wife had fish tacos and they were good. I came to coconuts expecting to be blown away. The customer service was just not there. They are obviously overstaffed (which my wife noticed) and it seemed at any given time 3 - 4 employees were just gathered at the hostess table chatting it up. The place is packed! Surely, there is something for you to do? Our waiter(s) were not attentive. We got the lunch guy first, then the dinner guy...guess we came exactly when they were changing shifts. The lunch guy could care less, since he was about to get off, and the dinner guy seemed flustered, stumbled through the specials, and didn't even visit our table once after dropping off the food. What if I wanted more beer? Or Champagne? Or order another dish? Or wasn't happy with my food? Would you like to drop in and find out? What really ticks me off....is that there is 18% automatic gratuity in your bill. WHAT? Gratuity should be for the SERVICE. Maybe that's why they didn't care too much? Because they are GUARANTEED that tip....so who cares? I don't know why businesses enforce mandatory tip....it just leads to bad customer service. So yea...disapointed. But their sister (Foxy Browns) is still my sweetheart.

Kamini R.

Beautiful cozy spot on the intercoastal. Everything is made fresh, sauces are homemade! Everyone was very friendly. We started out with the smoked salmon dip, was amazing, very fresh!! Then I had the lobster roll, again very fresh, nice flavors and texture. The coleslaw was very good, not a lot of places can make a good coleslaw, it wasn't too over dressed, perfect flavors. Didn't have room for dessert, but I will next time I go!

Rebekah T.

After those big big margaritas, I did a quick search and found that there were Oysters nearby. It's like I have a Seafood Radar because whenever it's available, so am I. I heard about Coconuts and the photos brought me in. I wanted to sit on the water, so we picked a spot on the dock and checked out the menu for food and drinks. To drink, we started with a Monk in the Trunk Ale. goo.gl/ddfcd I wanted Stone Crab, but just missed Stone Crab Season and they don't sell frozen anything here. Next time I will plan my vacation around Stone Crab Season. Our waiter Charlie was the best waiter and offered up a recommendation on the Blue Crab Claws. We wanted a light lunch, so we ordered a half dozen oysters, goo.gl/Ob9gc , the Blue Crab Claws goo.gl/wGKJI and the Deviled Eggs, goo.gl/IYoXN The Blue Crab Claws were the best crab appetizer I have had in awhile. I have to warn you too, I eat a lot of crab. After you are done with those claws in that roasted garlic chile pepper oil - you need to put some on the bread for savoring. goo.gl/n897S This place is so good, I would be here every weekend if I could. Sun, Fun and Seafood. Sounds like BLE* problems to me (*Best Life Ever).

Scott A.

I'm from St Louis but have been here for about 20 years and I often get home sick for what good customer service is. It is seriously lacking in South Florida. Coconuts is one of the go to places that make me feel I'm back home (just with better weather) great food, great service, not touristy, and a super view of the marina. My kids love it also.

Jason C.

Alright set that reservation. Hour an a half wait on a Tuesday. Good seafood. Desserts off the charts. Apps were stone crabs and deviled eggs which were average. Paella was above average. Great environment. Valet is a cluster.

Denise G.

I liked my food (it was a little oily, but otherwise okay) and thought the service was great, but I was extremely offended that they added an 18% gratuity on my bill. I have never been to a restaurant that adds an auto-gratuity for small tables (there were only two of us), and I travel a LOT. I'm kind of sad about it. I was full at lunch, but thinking we'd go back for that yummy looking ice cream cookie dessert another day. But - yeah, I was that aggravated. Number one, tipping is OPTIONAL, and number two, I would have tipped a lot more. I guess it probably benefits servers because maybe some people don't. But I DO and I'm not going back. Lame. If its the management that does that: shame on you. Trust your servers to EARN their tips. If they don't, hire and train better! And if its the server who decided to add the gratuity - that's worse. With an attitude like that, you're better off applying to work at the DMV. Anyway, if being gratuitized doesn't bother you... The crab scooby snack was good, but floating in an inch of oil... would have been better without the oil, IMO. Or maybe just a little rather than actually swimming in it. The seasonal heirloom tomato salad was okay, but the tomatoes were overripe and mushy, the dressing was overwhelming and there was too much of it, and the bleu cheese was so rich, and too much of that, too, for my taste. It would have greatly benefited from a big pile of salad greens to soak up some of that richness. But the server was nice and very friendly and accommodating, so I chalked it up to being a healthy eater in a tourist town - no biggie. Until I got my bill. That made an okay meal seem like a giant drag.

Can't believe I forgot to write a review for this place. Came here for the Winter Boat Parade. Sat outside on the porch to see the boats go by. Was here for about 3 hours ordering food and bottles of champagne. We had an amazing time. Service was impeccable we had 3 gentleman taking care of our needs all night perfectly, they were funny, informative and on point with our needs. We were ordering a dish every 15-20 mins and everything was amazing. They had a chef's special that night, which was crab fingers in this AMAZING sauce, and they were so good paired with the champagne we wound up ordering another plate of them towards the end of that night. We tried our best not to lift the bowl and slurp up the sauce when finished LOL It was a beautiful night made perfect with the food, service and location. This will definitely be our go to spot for the Winter Boat Parade :-)

One of my favorite restaurants in the Fort Lauderdale area. The view can't be beat, especially at sunset, and I've never been disappointed by the food. The seafood is amazing! A trip for brunch is a must, even if its just to try their homemade donuts!

Nikki S.

One of the best places I have eaten in Fort Lauderdale. The atmosphere is fun and we waited at the bar to be seated and the bartenders were very friendly. We shared an appetizer special that was a heirloom tomato caprese salad with a crab cake on top. It was so delicious and fed three of us. I ordered the lobster roll with deviled eggs for dinner and it was good too. My friend ordered the steak and it came with an herb butter on top and it was really delicious! I can't wait to eat here next time we are in town and try some different things on the menu.

Ate at Coconuts twice during visit to Ft Lauderdale, once breakfast, and , second dinner; both were great! I found myself struggling to find something wrong, but, couldn't, everything about Coconuts was great, food service, and vibe.. For breakfast we ordered the seafood frittata, potato cakes and nueske bacon, split it, plenty of food! For dinner ordered the crab scoobies, house salad, and paella which was the special all delicious, and plenty to split. The portions were bog enough on bot occasions to split with my wife, and leave content. All of the food was perfectly cooked and delicious, would order again. lTuedsay night was half off wine by the bottle, which made dinner even better. The best part of both visits though was the staff, they were all friendly, explained the options, and even suggested splitting the entrees, not something one expects. Thanks to Kevin, Alex and Albert for treating so well during the two meals!

We came here for brunch because of all the great yelp reviews.. I must say we were not disappointed! The wait was 45-1hr which is a lot , but the norm in Atlanta so we weren't too put off . The place also offers complimentary doughnuts which were unexpected but really yummy The Food : The shrimp and grits were flavorful and very filling , although I would've liked more than just 5 shrimp ... The Atmosphere: The set up is cute and there are nice views of yachts and the water Defiantly will return whenever we come back to Ft. Lauderdale !

I was really excited to come here, especially because I love seafood. I wasn't completely blown away nor was I dissatisfied. First off, I think it's the location that draws alot of people in because the view is beautiful, I sat outside by the dock on a cool Saturday afternoon and our view was fantastic. The bay with all of the boats, it is one of the reasons why I love Ft. Lauderdale. Parking was a bit confusing, but if you park next door (closest to the water) you should be okay. Our waiter was probably the best part about Coconut's. He was friendly, attentive, and even checked on my car for me. Our food was good, but that's just about it. We got the conch fritters and they were excellent, the sauce paired perfect and the fritter itself had a great kick. I ordered the lobster roll and was sort of unimpressed. The roll it came on looked like it was about to fall apart and the lobster had an abnormal amount of mayo on it which took away from the flavor of the lobster. It wasn't a bad sandwich, but for it being a lobster roll, I had higher expectations. The fries it came with were pretty good though. All in all, Coconut's just didn't do it for me. If I come back it probably won't be for a long time because I do not frequent that area of Ft. Lauderdale. If I want good seafood, I'll be at the Rustic Inn.

Had a great afternoon here! Scooby snow crab in a buttery sauce was unreal! Service bubbly, local, and timely. Close friend across the table literally licked the sauce from a bowl of dipping sauce.

Went on a date to Coconuts while on vacation. At the time there were 860 reviews on Yelp, far out numbering other restaurants in Ft. Lauderdale. There was a 45 minute wait when we arrived. Believe this: the wait was worth it! The restaurant overlooks the marina. Not a bad seat in the whole place. The menu had many options and our meal was delicious. Customer service was top notch. Eat at Coconuts.

Growing up in south Florida, we'd often enjoy bayside lunches and dinners and unfortunately more time than not the food wasn't always the best (you know great view..ok food). Until now! Enter Coconuts. It's delicious! Plus the service was superb. Highly recommend. I'll be back!

My fiance took me here for my birthday, and we totally enjoyed the experience. The food was delightful. Think of the best way you've ever had a tomato salad or a crab cake or a cheese dip or a guacamole dip, and think of all the different places you have to go to in order to get one really excellent item. Coconuts provides it all under one roof. The coconut cheesecake is also out of this world. But the thing that really sets this restaurant apart is their motto, "Be Nice." The servers wear this slogan on their shirts, it's printed on their menus, and they weave it into their culture. Every person we met at the restaurant was super nice. This may be the best restaurant on Fort Lauderdale Beach, so expect a long wait for a table. The parking lot is tight. You'll most likely have to valet park your car.

I was in Ft. Lauderdale for business, and we picked Coconuts to visit as a group for dinner one night. Definitely wasn't impressed by this place at all! We made reservations, but they couldn't seat us until half an hour after the time we requested. Because of this, they offered two free appetizers, so we started by ordering those. They sent the wrong apps out. Ugh! A few people in our group ordered the special, and then the manager came out ten minutes later to say they only had one portion of the special left, so the three that ordered it would have to decide which one of them would actually get that piece of fish. Thankfully, I didn't have to argue with those ladies--I ordered a mahi salad, which was just okay. The fish wasn't seasoned at all, so it was rather bland, and the homemade papaya dressing wasn't anything outstanding as touted on the menu. It was pretty much just a regular salad. I will say that our waiter, despite all the hiccups during the meal, was super friendly and kept all our water glasses filled. And if I were rating Coconuts on desserts alone, I'd give it 5 stars! The key lime pie and the no bake coconut cheesecake are both to die for... Bottom line: I'd come back for dessert. Otherwise, skip it.

Great family dinner right on the intercostal. We had delicious crab, fish tacos , and hanger steak. Service and food were excellent with a beautiful view and a lot of out door seating.

Wow. Thoroughly impressed with the food, and staff; from the valet to the bussers! Nice to see a place where all the wait staff seems like south florida locals that actually give a crap about their city, and take pride in their work. Cant beat the views either.

I was in Ft. Lauderdale beach and I was hungry so I looked up on yelp and found this place. It was the highest rated and had the most reviews.in the areas. Parking was easy, they offer complimentary valet service. THere was no wait and we got a seat next to the water. The weather was perfect to sit outside. Our waiter was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. He helped us decide and his suggestions were excellent choices. The food was great! Additionally, there are tarpons that live near the docks because they feed them food scarps. They are huge and pretty fun to watch during feeding.

Surprisingly fresh seafood in this tourist trap area. Amazing crabcake that you can actually taste the crab. I found the deep fried shrimp a bit dry and the fried conch very bready. That may just be a personal preference. For busy evenings, you need to make a reservation 48 hr in advance.

Willis F.

Absolute favorite, must go place in Fort Lauderdale. Go for the crab cake BLT and house salad (papaya dressing is outstanding!). Really can't go wrong with anything on the menu, and it doesn't hurt that it's right next to the canal. If you're looking for a simple but VERY good seafood place in Lauderdale, you gotta go to Coconuts!!!

Jenn M.

I am a business traveler who spends about 10 days per month in Fort Lauderdale. I go to Coconuts at least once per trip - it's my absolute favorite restaurant in Fort Lauderdale. I like that it's a favorite of the locals as well - doesn't feel like a crazy tourist destination. The ambiance is great, service is wonderful, food is terrific, and half-priced bottle of wine nights tie it all together. Ask for a seat outside and check out the amazing yachts that are docked while you eat. Some favorites are the blackened mahi sandwich, coconut shrimp, and you must order the scoobies as an appetizer. The beefsteak tomato side is also fantastic. This restaurant should be on everyone's list of dining destinations in Ft. Lauderdale.

We have been to coconuts before but this is our first time posting a review. Today was no less disappointing than the previous times we have visited. Our Sunday brunch consisted of Nutella and strawberry French toast, shrimp and grits, potato cakes and shrimp cake Benedict. We started with the complimentary donuts made fresh which were lemon flavored and tasty. The Nutella and strawberry was delicious, there were fresh strawberries stuffed in between the French toast lined with Nutella. It was a hit with my daughter! The shrimp and grits were flavorful and creamy and the shrimp were cooked very well. The potato cakes were a great accent to the dish fried and seasoned well. The shrimp cake Benedict was absolutely delicious. The poached egg was cooked over medium and was perfect with the hollandaise sauce and spinach to top it. The staff was very attentive, we did not have to ask for anything.

It was father's Day and I thought Coconuts for Breakfast would be a great setting. Driving down Las Olas was nice and there's Complimentary Valet where those guys are killing themselves to make everything fast and efficient.. Great Work! I called a head to make a reservation (only Parties of 5 or over) - they were completely booked and said just show up to be seated. I was greeted by the hostess and I tried to get a table on the Patio, after two more waiters came by Yes the table was ready! Right away I looked around and saw more Pooches than People! They are barking too. I mean every size I don't think they had a weight restriction at this Sunday Brunch * see photos Everyone was seated and we had a great time with good vibes on the water and Marina watching, people watching, Dog watching. The waitress even brings out Doggie bowls for the Doggies (I hope they wash their hands). The waters and drinks come out with a bendy straw .. How fun?! We ordered Smoked Fish Dip (10$) and Spinach Artichoke Dip to start. The Smoked Fish Dip had a lot of Mayo in it , not that big of portion and it was nice to see chunks of smoked fish, but there wasn't enough smokey-ness to make it amazing. It also came with a bunch of Saltine Crackers in the wrapper. The Spinach Artichoke Dip (12$) was really good. It tasted Homemade a lot of fresh spinach I loved it. They had Tortilla chips on the side and I'd say it was a Fantastic Appetizer. I ordered the Fish Tacos (Local Favorite it says on Menu) with Fries as my side. The fries were previously Frozen but they still were tasty. The Fish Tacos were as great as some of the Yelpers here wrote about. The fish was seasoned to perfection and it was cooked perfectly and the double-tortilla did not overpower the Taco. The downfall I thought was that the Mango-Salsa was mostly Tomato, Not much Avocado or Mango (I didn't see any). They had nice beers on the Menu and I got a Munk in the Trunk. It was a nice addition to my Tacos and took it up a notch. Most of the Table ordered the Moo Kluck which is Marinated Skirt Steak with Chimichurri sauce on the side with Two Over Easy Eggs a top the Cut Steak. The Steak was cooked perfectly and had a nice char flavor to it. The Eggs covered the Tiny Portion of the Steak. It was Not on the Generous side at all. I was eating my Fish tacos and Everyone at the table was done eating the Moo Kluck . Eggs Benedict with Maine Lobster Claw Meat (16$) was also Ordered by the Man of the Day and he was happy with his Selection. The Shrimp and Grits (14$) were also ordered and they would be a thumbs down. It tasted bland and almost soapy- like. At the end the waitress brought the bill and it had the Automatic calculation of the 18% Tip .. We hate that and would Tip what They say , Not more like maybe they would've Have Had. The water and Valet and service makes up for some of the Flaws. It also looked completely re-done inside too. Coconuts It's a Fun Place. ** As Seen on Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives

Best meals....yes meals of our vacation. My boyfriend and I came here for 5 nights and ate here 3 times. I've never written a yelp review but this is so deserving. Phenomenal food, service and view. Cannot say enough about Coconuts. We had lunch and dinner twice and were blown away. Drooling over the specials menu, go for any staff recommendations you will not be disappointed. Would travel down for the weekend to eat here.

Waited 1 hour and 40 minutes to get our table... They just forget us and do not take reservations. Excellent service and fresh food, our favorite was the Lobster Benedict ($16) however the place is really crowded and extremely noisy. Be prepared for a loooooong wait.

Great seafood! Went here with a few people from Maryland who approved of the crab cakes, which is usually unheard of outside of Maryland. I may not have their expertise but I thought they were rather delicious as well. Have had many meals here and you can't go wrong. Great views outside and close to A1A for a nice stroll after dinner.

SUNDAY BRUCH!!!! We love to ride our bikes to Coconuts on Sundays for brunch. The trick to a good table is to get there a few minutes before they open. You will usually be seated and get your order in first when they start the service. My fiancÃ© loves the boldly marry's they have infused vodka with peppers and S*&%. I love Funky Buddha and they have Floridian, Hop Gun and the collaborations with G&B (next door) on rotation. The scoobies are delicious as are the omelets and fish tacos!

This place is perfect. Visited 4 times in 5 days while on vacation. The oysters are probably the best I've had in my 24 years of living on the Chesapeake Bay. The fish preparation is superb. The frozen mojito my SO got was excellent. Service is friendly and knowledgeable. No complaints whatsoever!

Jade W.

OMG! Love this place! Yum! Still craving the "scoobies." Went there for Valentines's Day. Me and hubby each got one. It was more than enough for 1 person especially with the bread. We got the stone crab special and lobster sandwich. The special came with 6 crab claws which was just right amount especially after eating the scoobies. We got the lobster sandwich from next door. Waiter recommended because it was bigger than the lobster sandwich from Coconuts ( they own both restaurants). It came with bacon and avocado and fries. Yum! But we couldn't eat that much so we took it to go. Again the 2 scoobie appetizers each made us full. We got the sausage stuffing and deviled eggs which was fantastic. And for dessert pecan pie and vanilla ice cream. Would definitely go back! Make reservations or you will wait an hour on the weekends.
(5)
Janine C.

Great place in so many ways. Coconut Shrimp, Heirloom Tomato Salad, and Jambalaya are great choices. Delicious brewed iced tea rather than powder! Finally, may I recommend the Pretzel Chocolate Pie or Key Lime Pie for dessert. Wish I'd stayed long enough to try the Lobster Eggs Benedict. And oh yeah , ask to sit in Blake's section. She's wonderful!
(5)
Vicki W.

This is a go-to for when I crave seafood and when I have company from out of town. Good service, casual atmosphere, and delicious food. Not only are you able to order from their regular uncomplicated menu, but you're also able to order from the raw bar next door if you're craving something a little different like alligator ribs (definitely worth a try!) or frog legs. Their crab cakes are full of limp crab meat, lobster roll is full of big chunks of lobster, and salads are really fresh. One of my favorite things here though is their frozen coconut cheesecake - ask for extra forks to share, the pieces are large. Absolute must try if you still have room after your meal.
(5)
Stacie S.

Overrated. Well I enjoyed the coconut shrimp very much, most of our party wasn't very happy. The lobster roll was dry and overcooked. The Caesar salad was over dressed and too sweet. The kids did not like the chicken tenders or burger or mac & cheese. My husband enjoyed the vegetable platter. However, we did enjoy the ice cream cookie dessert. For similar food, we preferred 15th St. Fishery.
(2)
Ivan S.

The coconut shrimp appetizer was good, but everything else we tried (conch fritters, lobster roll, and key lime pie) was average at best. The lobster roll was served on wonder bread and not seasoned well at all. The key lime pie was a little dense and had a strong acidic aftertaste. The worst part was that every plate we got was poorly washed and not dried, with droplets of water and sometimes some orange sauce still on them. We had to wipe the plates with our napkins before using them. They should fire their dishwasher.

We had a great experience at Coconuts! The servers were more than kind to me and my one- year-old daughter. A special thanks to Mark and Jessie, who took care of us. I realize that we were not the 'ideal' customer, but they still treated us so well - even surprised us with an extra side so that we could enjoy the rice and deviled eggs. The fish tacos were excellent!! I wouldn't mind going back again tonight.
(5)
Courtney L.

We had a great time at Coconuts, but I just wasn't crazy about the food. The beer we ordered was great and the sangria was very good and the food was good too, but just "good". We ordered the jerk chicken wings and they weren't too spicy hot for me. They were messy, but had good flavor and a lot of meat to them. I also really liked the parmasean garlic ranch they came with, it mixed well with their grilled flavor. I would get those again. We then split the fish tacos with the deviled eggs as the side. The eggs were really good! Very flavorful and lots of paprika! The fish tacos were very good, but honestly I was expecting a little more based on the reviews. The order comes with 2 of them and they are quite large. They had fresh avocado on them, but otherwise I honestly felt like the quality is something I could find in my hometown of KC... and if Kansas City can replicate fish tacos of Ft Lauderdale... yikes! However, it is worth noting that the husband really liked them.. so maybe I'm being too picky :) The service, however, was very nice and it was a decent place to watch the sunset. Prices were also reasonable.

I have been to coconuts twice on my vacation this week and both times I've had a great experience! I don't do this often but I wanted to give our waitress Alicia props! She was so attentive and very sweet! She even offered to get me fresh fries because I had to wait a few minutes for my ketchup! I would definitely recommend coming here! Also, it has a great view and is good for kids!

Matthew M.

My wife and I ate here 2 times in consecutive nights. The first evening she had the pulled pork sandwich and I had the jambalaya. Both were absolutely awesome! The pulled pork sandwich had large pieces of pork and the jambalaya was well more than I can eat and was the freshest and spicy jambalaya I've had. Tonight, she had the prime rib sandwich with Mac and cheese while I had the crab cake entree. Again, pleasant food. The crab cakes were full of crab and the prime rib sandwich was over 4 inches thick. The food is delicious and the staff courteous and attentive. be nice. cheers!

Waterfront dining is always tough to write about, because typically the view supersedes the food quality and service. But I love Coconuts. The menu contains the usual suspects: Fried shrimp, steak salad, wings, etc. but the food is always consistently good and it is a great place to bring people from out of town. The real gem here is the G&B Oyster Bar that is connected to Coconuts. THIS place is wonderful. The selection of fresh and varied oysters that are shucked to order is impressive, and the lobster quiche they serve for Sunday Brunch is so good, that you have to get there early before they run out.

Drinks - mediocre, cocktail was pretty watered down and waste of money Food - Fish Special Mahi Mahi.. average.. Mahi Mahi Sandwich.. same fish as the fish special entree I don't know why we paid twice the price of sandwich for our fish special.. Ambience - Good. I would say this is quite expensive for the quality we got. Not impressed. I would rather spend my money on an average restaurant by the beach..

Amazing views at this restaurant. Parking situation is difficult once it gets crowded. Long lines. Decent food. Nice selection. Good Happy Hour. That about sums up every other decent South Florida restaurant. But my husband and I enjoy coming to this restaurant simply for the view especially during the sunsets..

While in Fort Lauderdale for a conference, we did a quick search on Yelp and found this place. We did not make a reservation however we were seated within twenty minutes. The service was fabulous. Gabriel was our waiter and we went along with his wine recommendation and we were pleasantly surprised that his recommendation was not the most expensive however it was the least expensive and was a great suggestion. We also had the deep fried french toast.......do not hesitate to order this desert. What a wonderful explosion of flavor.

Myself and a hungry party of 12 arrived at coconuts after a long day of touring Florida. Seeing the reviews, no doubt, made my expectations high. As we arrived the wait at 8pm on a Saturday night was an atrocious 1hr wait. But that was to be expected and I was actually happy to see the line, which reinforced the quality of this place. We were then seated and ordered three starters: the fried oysters, conch fritters, and spinach and artichoke dip. In the respective order, the fried oysters were moderately average. Something about the batter took away from the oyster taste. Either that or it wasn't spectacularly fresh to begin with. Same goes for the fritters. Both were fried perfectly But the conch fritters tasted like bread fritters if you get my flow. Lastly the spinach and artichoke dip was delicious albeit quite cheesy so if you aren't into dairy I would advise choosing otherwise. As for entrees, All around the table we ordered many things. The Jambalaya was absolutely divine. A great balance of flavor and spice, and does not overdue that Cajun feel as most places do. Although, be advised, it is salty as the ocean is blue. The lobster roll was quite undetermined and a big letdown. The meat was pretty cold even for a lobster roll, and although quantity was abundant, the quality was not. It was very grainy, and almost tasted as if it wasn't fresh.... Suspect? If you've ever had Luke's Lobster up in the big apple, this place would surely disappoint. Next was their famed fish tacos. Huge portions. Great flavor. But a word for the wise, eat it quickly or the sheer amount of tomatoes will quickly soften your tortilla. Also you should definitely get a side because it won't quite fill you up by itself. Besides, $7/taco isn't going to cut it. As for the sides, we opted out of the praised deviled eggs because I could get two dozens of eggs for the price of this one. The pictures also didn't seem too alluring. Instead we got fries and macncheese. The French fries were absolutely beautifully fried. Nice and crisp and at the perfect girth. Lightly salted to perfection. And the Mac. Oh....the Mac. For the cheese lovers this is your heaven. For those who want a lighter option this will be your hell. Overall 3.5 stars for food. 3 stars for price (quality really did not meet expectation) 4 stars for environment as the healthy number of people up until closing really helped bring the place alive. Average of 3.5 stars, and since Im in a happy mood, I shall give it 4.

We got the seviche and stone crab appetizer, the lobster boil as our entree, and the coconut cheesecake and the chocolate pecan dessert and everything was amazing!!! You're better off making reservations, because even on a Monday they are so busy. However, if you get an outside table, the view is worth the wait.

Love this place and the staff! (And their 1/2 price appetizer--chicken wings and coconut shrimp were yummy) Mom loved the lobster roll (a little bit too much on the sauce , but it's ok).

Went for Father's Day brunch with the fam. Wait was over an hour so I knew it would be pretty good. I had the chicken and waffle special. It's was good. Wife had a breakfast BLT and she said it was great! Actually, it was cheaper than the crappy meal we had at the Oasis grill the night before.

my wife and I were seated next to the harbour, just underneath the canopy which turned out to be a good idea because it rained a bit just after we were seated. I ordered the Scoobies, which are crab claws served in a bowl of garlic cloves and oil/butter. They were good, but the garlic - holy hell - if you're on a date and hoping to get lucky, just don't plan on kissing anyone within the next 45 years after eating this. The crab meat is delicious, but once you get to the meat that's fallen off the claw and into the garlic-y abyss, get prepared for fending off those vampires. Lastly, Scoobies were $16 - probably why they're not on the menu because you wouldn't order a $16 appetizer. I found this out when we got our bill. I ordered the special which was grouper topped with crab meat and a lemon sauce plus one side. My wife got steamed beets with corn and shared my mac and cheese (she's allergic to shellfish). My $29 entree was aptly sized, but wasn't amazingly flavored. The presentation was just so-so, but the crab meat made up for a somewhat underwhelmingly flavored dish. The mac and cheese was excellent and the grilled corn on the cob was fine. 18% gratuity was included in the check (sort of strange for a party of 2). I had two beers and my wife had a blackberry mint mojito which was really nice. All told, the bill was $82. Service was good, the food was fine and the atmosphere was really cool - casual but not shabby. Given that we were just in town on vacation and we like to try different places, I probably won't be back. However, that's not because the food wasn't fine

I have been to Coconut's many times throughout the years. It sits in an amazing place, with great views of the Intracoastal. I have always liked the food, though, I do think that the menu might be in need of an update. Last night I ordered the steak salad and the steak was great, but it came on a bed of cole slaw, or at least that is what it tasted like. Not sure where the salad greens were. But, good drinks, from very friendly bar tender. Servers are numerous and helpful. The owners also own Foxy Brown and the oyster bar next door to Coconuts, along with a new BBQ place that I can't wait to try. So, they know the biz well and Coconut's runs like a smooth clock. But, I would suggest that an update of the menu and dÃ©cor might be in order.

i LOVE this place! we had read up on reviews on yelp before coming here and ordered the scoobies that everyone raves about. some of the pictures didn't look too appetizing (on yelp), but we decided to give them a try. how can so many people be wrong? well they weren't wrong - the scoobies were so delicious and a great start to our meal. if i hadn't already ordered my entree i would have ordered two more scoobies to have as my meal! i had the fish tacos and my bf had the lobster roll. my fish tacos were good and very flavorful. my bf thought the lobster roll was okay and wouldn't get it again. i liked that the entrees came with sides as i got to try the creamy macaroni and cheese. for dessert we decided to try to the coconut cheesecake which was good, but too sweet for me. next time i will try the key lime pie. overall a fabulous experience with delicious food and a beautiful view (we were on the patio right next to the water).

I am still dreaming about Coconuts!! Lunch here was definitely the best meal my girlfriends and I had during our vacation in Ft. Lauderdale, and I know if we ever go back this will be the first place we visit! DEFINITELY go for ANY of their specials not listed on the regular menu! You will not be disappointed. BLUE CRAB APPETIZER -- Quite simply, amazing!! 7-8 blue crab claws served in a sauteed butter, chili, and roasted garlic sauce to create pure heaven. This was my absolute favorite dish of the entire meal, and I loved that they served it alongside bread that you could dip in the butter sauce. Gluttony to its divine finest. CRAB CAKE BLT -- Delicious. The crab cake was huge, flavorful, and made with huge chunks of crab meat with hardly any filler and the bacon was perfectly thick and crispy. I also enjoyed the remoulade spread on the bun, just wished there were more of it! FISH TACOS -- Fresh and flavorful! I also enjoyed the tasty deviled eggs that came as a side with this dish. SHRIMP NAAN FLATBREAD -- Perfectly grilled shrimp with arugula and plump cherry tomatoes! KEY LIME PIE -- Wonderfully light and tart on an incredible crust. Happiness in one of its best forms. Don't miss out on this food and the incredible view!

Wow what a great dinner....went there after it was recommended from the staff at my hotel, and it was perfect. We sat on an outdoor table and it wasn't too hot, there were fans and cold air coming from the ceiling. The service couldn't be any better, and the food was just what we were looking for...fresh fish that we.definitely.dont get back home. Cant wait to go back.

With the exception of the ridiculous traffic to get into the parking lot (small lot, valet really have their work cut out for them); the almost hr wait to be seated, it was fantastic. Waterside dining, impeccable food that comes out freaky fast and exceptional service. I had the lobster Benedict for brunch. Yummo!! Someone else had the succulent pulled pork sandwich with sage sausage stuffing (delish). The coconut shrimp were jumbo and sumptuous (that sauce...divine) We really enjoyed brunch here and would return.

The best meal during my entire Fort Lauderdale Trip! Just off the boardwalk is this gem of a restaurant. My friends and I decided to sit outside and were delighted at the view of the harbor full of boats. Try the ORANGE MANDARIN SODA- it's very refreshing and has a naturally sweet flavor to it. Blue Crab Claw appetizer ($14): This special was the best dish. It came with 8-10 claws that contained a good amount of crab meat, dipped in a pool of butter, garlic, scallions, and peppers. It was so flavorful that I wanted more! Fish Tacos ($14): The grilled tilapia in the fish tacos were very flavorful. These soft tacos also had lettuce, tomatoes, and onions with a creamy mayo-like sauce. I can't complain because it was well worth the price! Crabcake BLT ($14): This burger special was a great deal because it was huge and flavorful. Usually, I don't like crabcake because I find it bland and over-stuffed with non-crab additives, but this one was a winner. Key Lime Pie ($7): Finally, all the desserts sounded very appetizing, but we settled for the key lime pie. It was large, tart, and like everything else, delicious. Also, service was good for such a crowded restaurant. How can you not like this place? Even the name is awesome! Coconuts is one of the few places that I'd definitely return to if I were ever in the area again!

Last week my FiancÃ© and I had a lovely day on the beach in Fort Lauderdale. After a little fun in the sun we decided to go to Coconuts because I actual love the food there and he likes the oysters from next door. Unfortunately I was refused service actual I couldn't even enter the establishment because the hostess said the policy said my beach outfit was not up to par for there dress code policy. I didn't realize a restaurant across the street from the ocean didn't let beach goers in. My outfit of choice was high waisted jeans shorts and a crop top tube top all covering my bathing suite. So just from that little incident this restaurant will never see me again.I understand every restaurant has there policies and I respect that. Thankfully the Capital Grill accepted me in for lunch with my "outlandish" outfit.

Fish Tacos - always on the lookout for "The Best" and we go coo-coo for Coconuts (You hear that a lot...) Gold stars for the fish tacos...We will return

Half price bottles of wine on Monday! Their blue crab claw appetizer is UNBELIEVABLE, and they have the best lobster roll I've ever had outside of Maine!!

After reading some nice reviews on yelp and driving past coconuts a few times on our boat, we decided to stop in with some friends today for lunch. I ordered a Cesar salad, my husband ordered the fish tacos, and our friends ordered the crab Benedict and the steak sandwich. None of us were very happy with our meals. My salad was okay, but nothing special. The fish tacos were lacking an appropriate amount of fish (they were really soggy tomato tacos with a garnish of fish), and the Benedict was served cold. The service was mediocre at best... Slow, not super friendly, and overall not warm or welcoming. With all of the wonderful options here in lauderdale on the water, I don't think we will be returning here again. I suggest that others look into some other options close by (e.g. Flip flops, kaluz)

Simply put this place is magnificent their staff really puts in the little extra. I'm extremely harsh on restaurants and coconuts is fantastic. You are doing yourself an injustice by going to a hotel restaurant instead of here.

Coconuts Bahama Grill is a casual restaurant that has both indoor and outdoor seating. We sat dockside and, although a bit cool, enjoyed the beautiful sunset, waterside views, and light seaside breeze. Our server was fantastic. We started our dinner with the "scoobies" appetizer - absolutely delicious. I had the "catch of the day" - blackened, grilled mahi, and my sister had a pretzel -crusted fish. Both were excellent. We shared a piece of key lime pie - a perfect palette-pleaser after our meals. I would not hesitate to recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for good seafood in the Ft. Lauderdale area.

Visiting from Los Angeles and found this spot on Yelp. It was four people in our party. Everyone enjoyed their food. We had waffle and chorizo empenada's for starters. Then shrimp and grits, rib eye sandwich for our meals. The food was delicious. My husband ordered a side of potatoe cakes and I did not like them. Service was good. We will be back.

Go here. Seriously. If you want to sit outside, catch a few rays and snack on some really good food, this is your spot. Love their bloody Mary's. Love their Scoobies. Get them. Their fish dip is okay. Their heirloom salad is good. The steak salad is really tasty. So are the coconut shrimp. I usually go for a drink and some apps and you should too! Looks like they opened up a raw bar as an extension of this spot... Looking forward to trying it.

O M G! I was skeptical when I walked over here because it doesn't look like much from the outside and I was even a bit confused at the entrance because it is connected to another restaurant but this place is AMAZING! It isn't a fancy place but this is a well oiled machine! Lots of staff, the waiter knew his stuff and told me about specials that were not on the menu. I had yummy mango mojito freeze and we shared four amazing apps: the Scoobies, the heirloom tomato salad, the surf and turf queso and the coconut shrimp. I honest don't know what I liked more! I am not a big crab eater but I tried these and I was blown away! I'm afraid this place set my standards for crab so high that I will not be able to enjoy crab in other places! The coconut shrimp was PERFECT and the sauce they serve for dipping was equally perfect! We were full at this point but needed to give the crab cake grilled cheese a try and it was so yummy! If you are in the area, GO! You will be glad you came here. Next time I am in the area, I will be back for sure.

Great food, great service, great atmosphere, great view! Their specials is definitely the way to go. Blueberry soda: Refreshing! Blue Crab pinchers: Deliciously cooked in a buttery, garlicky, spicy, and heavenly sauce with bread to dunk in it. This will win any crowd over. My only recommendation would be more bread, so I don't have to embarrass myself drinking the leftover sauce. Shrimp naan flatbread: Lots of fresh ingredients - plenty of flavorful shrimp, peppery arugula, and cherry tomatoes. Key lime pie: Tart, with a creamy and smooth texture, and a great crust. I love everything about Coconuts.. except for the fact that it's in Ft. Lauderdale. New location in DC? :)

This place is hit or miss. Be sure to get a full description or photo of each dish. We had the homemade chilled lobster which was fresh, tender and quite possible the best chilled whole lobster I've had. We also ordered the soft shell crab special which had them smothered in breading which made them soggy to begin with. Then they topped it with some sweet sauce that made them even more soggy. I am a huge soft shell crab fan but these did not deliver. If I saw a photo of them I would not have ordered. They were also wa over priced at $28 Stay away from the fried stuff and look for the fresh grilled or broiled fish. Mojitos were good as well. Fresh mint and not too sweet.

A good spot in Ft. L - a nice location on the Intercostal with open air dining, and you can see huge tarpon and jacks waiting for scraps off the patio. Seafood menu is nice, very fresh. Prices are good for the quality of food and atmosphere.

We have not had a good meal since arriving in Ft Lauderdale. We walked to Coconuts. Waited 25, it was pretty crowded, so not bad. The waiter was very attentive. So that's good. The rib eye was very good so was the coconut shrimp. Mac and cheese as well. Was weird to have deviled eggs as a side, but that must be a southern thing. Asparagus was amazing. The key lime pie was good too. There is a seasoning we can't pin down that all the restaurants seem to use. We will see with the next Restaraunt. Overall the experience was good except one thing. It was so noisy and loud. You could hardly hear yourself talk.

Went here for brunch and this place is the TRUTH!!! We started with conch fritters and crab legs both were great. The Crab-cakes were to die for and the lobster Benedict was amazing. All of this while watching boats come in and out with our perfect view on the water. A must stop every time I am in Ft. Lauderdale/ Miami.

This place is fantastic...and the view is wonderful. I'm always amazed when a local place that's been around forever, has almost 400 reviews and a solid 4 star rating.......gets ripped apart by some tourist who wouldnt know a grouper from a snapper you cant go wrong w/ the menu here....coconut shrimp, crab cakes, catch of the day, lobster roll, fish tacos.....AND the raw bar that it's attached to (or is attached to it ;-) has their fare to share too. drinks are strong & not cheap.........but really good trust a local......born & raised in Ft Lauderdale & has been going here for over 20 years.....Coconuts is a wonderful place for dinner or brunch I do miss LaGaylia singing though.....those who have been around a while will know who i mean. Eat here & raise your glass to me when it's as delicious as i said it would be!

Tom S.

I Heard lots of great things about the restaurant but ended up being disappointed with my meal. I showed up really hungry after work and ordered the crispy fish sandwich which was snapper. The fish was very fishy. I eats snapper pretty often and unfortunatly this was a bad piece. The other components of the sandwich like the bun tomatoes and tarter sauce were good but It couldn't make up for the bad fish. I should of returned it but like I said I was hungry and had eaten a decent portion before deciding I couldn't eat it anymore. I felt funny trying to return it at that point though I should have. Service was good though.

Gabrielle K.

LOVED LOVED LOVED the crab claw scoobies - a near religious experience. I thought the fish tacos were flavorless and disappointing. It was busy but they were able to accommodate us at the bar and the staff remained friendly and helpful despite how busy they were. The scoobies were so good I think we're going back tomorrow!
(4)
Mike H.

First of all, I sat at the bar, and the service was awesome. The bartender really knew the menu and the specials. He directed me pretty well. I must must say the smoked fish dip, a Florida classic, is fantastic. I had the crab cake blt, and it wasa special in every sense of the word. The remoulade was great. The key lime pie is also a must have.

My gal and i had a weekend getaway it Ft Lauderdale and decided to head here for dinner after looking for a good place to eat... This place was truly awesome! Drinks, appetizer, main dish, dessert and service ( waitress was fantastic ) We will be back for sure. one last thing... we were ordering dessert to go ( eat @ the hotel ) and we were ordering 2 desserts & the waitress was so great that she actually gave us a heads up that the desserts were GIANT... very cool thing and great customer service.

Was down in Ft Lauderdale for work and ate lunch at Coconuts outside on the deck thanks to rave (and accurate) yelp reviews! Thank you fellow yelpers for the heads up on this place! Highly recommend the scoobies - lots of garlic though, so beware!
(4)
Kimsley A.

There is a reason why Coconuts has a crazy wait and such a high rating out of almost 1,000 people: this place is heaven on earth. As a New England girl I came here with high expectations that were beyond exceeded. The food is fresh, perfectly seasoned, and fairly priced. We ordered the scoobies as appetizers which consisted of crab claws in a flavorful butter garlic herb sauce along with fresh bread for dipping. As entrees we ordered the lobster roll and mac n cheese and the crab cake BLT with fries. The lobster roll had huge chunks of lobster and the Crab Cake BLT had so many levels of flavor that all complimented each other. The service was excellent and you can't beat eating right next to the water. Coconuts is definitely my new favorite seafood place!
(5)
Caroline T.

By far the best meal I've ever eaten! The scoobies were to die for! Coconut shrimp was mouthwatering and the crab cakes were out of this world! Also the blackberry mojito was amazing. If you don't eat here you're doing something wrong!!

I love that restaurant. They have all wines are 50% Off on Mondays and Tuesdays, which is worth to try. The menu is great. I liked everything I tried so far. The view from the deck is worth the trip. The wood deck is very romantic. The service is always great. I still remember the name of the server from last time "Jennifer Watts" (not sure about the last name). She gives great recommendations on the menu. Great place to take a date.

All around A-MAZING. Really. Coconuts is the place to go for delicious seafood in Fort Lauderdale, you won't be disappointed! During a 4-day stay, my friend & I came here twice it was that good! If you haven't already picked it up in the majority of the reviews: go for the "scoobies" appetizer - it's not on the menu, but the servers will likely tell you about it. Crab meat served in olive oil, garlic, chili flakes and green onions... Simple and delicious! (Be sure to ask for extra bread to soak up the extra deliciousness) The first night I got the coconut shrimp platter with corn and stuffing as my sides, while my friend ordered the ribs. Word of advice: we learned quickly that the seafood is the food to order here... Though the ribs werent bad, they certainly were outshined by my shrimp (which, by the way, were not small by any means) and the scoobies. That lesson in mind, our second meal involved the scoobies (because you really cant come here and NOT order these puppies!) and shared one of that night's special, which was a deep fried yellowtail (as in the entire fish, head to tail). It was delicious! Crisp on the outside, light flaky meat... It did not disappoint. Our server the first night - Mi - was fantastic! Super friendly, knowledgeable and attentive. Our second server was a disappointment in comparison: lackluster, uninterested and emotionless. Clearly his attitude was not enough to affect my review. Do yourselves a favor & check this place out!

Ziva A.

WOOOHOOO I found my favorite restaurant in Flordia! We were recommended to go here from our Concierge at The W hotel- god bless Raul! This is a must go to restaurant if you're visiting Ft. Laud (I went twice in a 4 day stay). The highlights: Scooby snacks are to DIE for! Crab Claws that are pre-cracked for you in a oil based sauce drenched in garlic cloves. This made my day so amazing! Lobster Sandwich is made so perfectly. The bread complements the sandwich and so does the sauce. They're very generous with the amount of lobster- its a full sandwich, with lobster pouring out of it. Wonderful. The fish tacos- another great portion size and fresh fish cooked to perfection. The only change I would suggest is to put less mango salsa because my tortilla was too soggy. Service is superb. The view is beautiful. The boats that dock here are quite a treat to look at. Very extensive specials on the daily menu. **Please don't even hestitate on the Scobby snacks!**

Wow! What an amazing place. Right on the water. The food is delicious and so is the atmosphere. Ordered the the coconut shrimp and conch fritters and it was ridiculously good.

Jordan W.

Very nice selection at the bar here, travel to florida a few months ago and got to eat a nice meal with the family after some time at the beach. It was a sort of small but impressive menu. Pretty much everyone got something different so we basically got to see the whole menu. I started off with a beer (Modelo). CRAB CAKE entree looked really good, my aunt got that one. It could be something to definitely get if I head back here. I ordered the coconut shrimp platter and this came with French fries and cole slaw. Appetizers for the group included conch fritters and grilled jerk wings. Coconut shrimp was excellent and portion was really a good size. Our waiter was very attentive, took care of everyone's drink order on time and food wait itself was not particularly very long. Next time in Fort Lauderdale, would come back right away.

I have lived in the Fort Lauderdale area for over 19 years and regrettably have never been to this establishment. It was awesome. Our server (Tali) was incredibly professional and efficient. Very welcoming, cheerful and quick. The food was awesome. We started with the crab bites as an appetizer that was garlicky and delicious. Then both my husband and I had the snapper special. It was cooked to perfection. Prices were fantastic. We will certainly be back.

Wings are off the hook. They are prepared steaming hot in temperature and flavor. Best I have had in a long time. Atmosphere was a bit "bar-ish".....super loud, felt a bit dirty. Those things aside, after few drinks you don't notice any of it and the food, wings, my white fish and salad were exceptional. I would definitely go back when in town.
(4)
Angela D.

Make a reservation! Or else be prepared to wait for an hour and possibly even longer for your food to arrive. maybe because they were so busy was the reason the service was all over the place. Having different people come too and fro. The food was okay, I honestly didn't find the fish tacos to be THAT amazing. Same with the half chicken. The house salad is delicious though, loved the coconut pieces and dressing, nothing special about the grilled chicken topping. And the coconut shrimp is crispy and fresh! I suggest to NOT get the cucumber fresh vegetable side for it doesn't taste fresh or that refreshing. Just tasted like some old Cucumbers soaking in some liquid. If you like a laid back ambiance this is the place for you. It has a nice view and the menu doesn't have much of a description or each food item so you need to ask if you want more detail.

Ben T.

Amazing food and great location on the water. Seafood was fresh, hot, and flavorful. Server was great. Only issue was the place was noisy for a Sunday night...mostly because of two tables who enjoyed Sunday Funday a bit too much, ha. Server was funny about it though.

Jeanne L.

Wonderful food and beautiful waterfront restaurant! I had the best lobster roll I've tasted so far, filled with lobster and was not over powered by mayo, the lobster really shined through. My three girlfriends thoroughly enjoyed their jambalaya, jumbo lump crab cake salad, and clams from the raw bar.

Shannon B.

Scooby snacks are awesome! Ordered crab cakes and they were yummy. Didn't taste frozen and weren't burnt. Was a little warmer inside on a hot day but it wasn't too bad. Family had lobster boil and they all devoured it. Get there early so the wait isn't long!! They also have complimentary valet parking if u eat there and not leave the premise.

Robert A.

Staff is always great, the wings here are awesome however I got the steak salad for lunch today and it is a total rip off for $16, it was more like coleslaw with a very small amount of steak, I would never get it again nor would I recommend it. I was really disappointed today

Hubby and I are in Fort Lauderdale, celebrating our first anniversary with a trip to the beach. I wanted to find a good restaurant near our hotel that had fresh seafood. Coconuts had excellent reviews and the concierge at the hotel also suggested it. We were not disappointed. We tried the Scoobies (blue crab claws) that everyone raves about and they were tasty, but I was really impressed with the coconut shrimp platter I ordered. Hubby ordered the Comfort Bowl with chicken. It was a bowl of pasta shells in a spicy sriracha sauce. He really liked it! The Sunday brunch menu looked awesome! Wish we could have tried the shrimp & grits, but they are only available on Sunday. We had excellent service. We were seated immediately and our server was very knowledgeable. He answered my (numerous) questions and made a lot of recommendations. If we go back, I plan to try the grilled Mahi or fish tacos!

Just got out of the airport and had some time to kill before boarding our cruise. Chose this restaurant via yelp. They were busy but luckily for us, they were able to accommodate our party of ten within a few minutes. Staff was polite and attentive, but tripped up a bit when they forgot or missed the first order. The other orders came out fine. Public parking across the street. Has lagoon view. Simple menu with the basics. Extensive drink selection. Good selections for a morning cocktail. Spirits all over the breakfast menu. Was befuddled to discover that there's no coconut in anything on the menu except for coconut shrimp. Nice place to visit and eat.

One of the best restaurants in Fort Lauderdale! We came here on the recommendation of friends who dine at Coconuts multiple times during their vacations to Ft. Lauderdale, and we were such fans that we came back three times in six days. Twice for dinner and once for brunch. I ordered the lobster roll on both dinner occasions because I was such a fan. Huge chunks of lobster meat tossed in a light mayo dressing on a toasted bun-- yum! We tried a variety of sides and appetizers, including the mac & cheese, deviled eggs, french fries, their famous scoobies, and heirloom tomato salad. All were amazing! One of the nights we ordered dessert, huge slices of deliciousness! I ordered the pretzel pie and my sister got the coconut cheesecake, which she said was great. We wanted an after dinner drink, but since it was warm out, we asked our waiter if he could make an iced version of an Irish Coffee-- after making them, he told us that these were the first he's ever made, they tasted amazing and I now like them more than the hot version. Where to go for Sunday brunch was a no brainer after two fabulous dinners. We got there right when they started serving, 10am, and were promptly seated right on the water. Another great waiter, and this time a surprise visitor-- an iguana on the railing near our table. Our waiter assured us that she was friendly and wouldn't harm us, but that he would move her away if we were scared. I told him it was fine to leave her, but his manager came over and said that she can be bold sometimes and didn't want to take a chance. He shooed her away. While the brunch menu looked just as great as the dinner menu does, I wanted one more lobster roll before getting on my plane back home. Our waiter went to check with the kitchen to make sure that they had all the ingredients to make it in the morning, and luckily they did! It was even better than the first two I had there. Sunday brunch they also offer complementary mini chocolate and coconut donuts. Typically I don't like coconut, but these were just so delicious and still warm! Great service, beautiful location (right on the inter-coastal), and amazing food. Can't go wrong at Coconuts! I could rave about this restaurant for days, but you'll just have to come and try it yourself!

Took my fiance here for a late lunch/early dinner on a Wednesday night during our four night stay in Ft. Lauderdale...great attentive and knowledgable service, seated us right by the water. The scooby snacks were amazing...don't question, just order them - the sauce you can dip your bread in may be better than the crab. We had oysters form the raw bar which were presented beautfully. We both got the special fish entrees as well - both which were cooked perfectly. Highly recommend - kind of concerned that the next places we have planned for dinner won't measure up.

Stephanie M.

We sat out on the covered patio and it was very enjoyable with a great view and equally fabulous good. The server was very friendly and gave us a whole list of daily specials. I read about Scoobies online and had to try them and they lived up to what I read. They were garlicky and good! I had a crab cake salad that was very fresh and my husband had the mahi mahi which was moist. We definitely recommend this place!

Jackie G.

The food here was fantastic! My fiancÃ© ordered the coconut shrimp and I ordered the local fish- mahi mahi sandwich. both were delicious. We finished with key lime pie which was equally great! Service was fantastic, ambiance is great too. The restaurant overlooks the intercostal.

There seems to always be a line to get in, and after eating there I can understand why. The view of the water facing west is amazing, so come and enjoy the sunset. The food was delicious as well. The conch fritters, guacamole, and sea bass that I had were terrific. The fish was amazingly fresh with not even a hint of "fishiness." I hope to eat there again on my next trip to Florida.

Jess M.

Complimentary valet parking during lunch, great specials, attentive service, and nice view. I came here yesterday with a friend for lunch, he ordered the ham and egg sandwich with a side of sauteed spinach, which he loved. My entree was the lamb burger, which was alright, the yogurt sauce was on the weak side, but otherwise not a disappointment. The mango mojito freeze is a must!

Sueann W.

Only want to add to the other wonderful reviews on how good the food was! The daytime hostess, tall blond, needs to be in another business. We came in by boat, walked around to the hostess stand and asked for a table during lunch outside. She said the only 1 was in the direct sun since the umbrella was broken. Then we had a blank stare. We said we did not want to sit there. Then another blank stare. We asked if she could let us know when one became available. She inhaled loudly, wrote our name down and gave us the beeper. Now, why did we have to ask to be put on the wait list? Wouldn't the normal response be "I only have one in the direct sun now, but I can put you on the list for the next available table outside?" I was wondering if it was like a 1 hour wait or something? I asked if there were many people in front of us. She mumbled "you're next." We were all laughing about her attitude during lunch, maybe she was having a bad day? She needed to take note of the saying on the front of the servers T shirts!!!

Brenda W.

LOVED my brunch at coconuts! I went with a party of three and sat at the bar because there was a wait for the outside tables. The location is perfect, every table has views looking at the intercoastal and they offer complimentary valet parking. I ordered the blackberry mojito and deep fried french toast with fresh berries . For being across the street from the beach I think the prices are fair but my favorite part was the menu, it was fun, not too many options but enough for a variation.
(5)
Dave R.

Great food, fun atmosphere, good service. The stone crab was excellent as was the crab cakes and mahi. Came here for my first time with 8 people and am happy we only had to wait 20 minutes even though they quoted an hour. They were having 50% off all wine so we enjoyed much, though the waiter seemed a bit put out that he only got 20% tip on the discounted wine price as well as all the food, and not the full amount.

TC W.

Returned to Coconuts again with three friends. Had two apps (scoobies, and watermelon shrimp) both were ridiculous. Everyone cleaned their plates w their entrees (Ribs, Tuna Sammich, Pasta w Lobstah). All declared this was their best meal in a long time. So... 5 stars.

Max C.

Wow. Right next door to the Courtyard Marriot and Bubba Gumps, and yet light years ahead of BGs as far as the food is concerned! We had an heir loom tomato salad (yumm... still makes me drool) and the crabcakes (double yumm!). Most definitely would come back here again.

Ron B.

I strongly like Coconuts. I have been pleasantly surprised on most visits...mainly because I can't shake the feeling that the place is a chain (really can't tell you what gives me that vibe...just a feeling), but many elements of the experience tell you its an independent. From the occasional live music (usually a decent quality single acoustic...call for the schedule if that's your thing) to the good (not great, but a solid good) wine list, to the fairly consistent, friendly service, to the outdoor pet-friendly setting, the views of boats docked nearby...to the surprisingly very good seafood specials (and non-seafood as well, to be fair). I don't want to over-hype it, because I always seem to approach this place with limited expectations (just that feeling again) and always leave quite satisfied. Big extra plus? Cheap wine night(can't remember when...call them for details). Biggest challenge? Can be price-y if you order up too much...so order away if its a special occasion...but watch out for the whole table ordering specials if you're on a budget. Coconuts is def worth a visit...for us, it's become that 3-4 times a year pleasant place to return, especially while entertaining on lower key nights.

Went with the fiancÃ©, had the following: grilled jerk chicken wings, oysters, coconut shrimp, ahi tuna salad and ahi tuna poke (I think that was from g&b oyster bar. They were all awesome. All restaurants should offer angelic grilled chicken wings. The tuna poke was unique. The nice dude next to us then bought us an order or scoobies, which was an order of blue crab legs half out of the shells in a garlic and butter sauce. They were amazing. Thanks nice guy next to us, can't remember your name but started with a J. We will return next time to try the paella which is apparently off the hook too. I am done yapping about this place. Check it out, you will not regret it. Tell them JMAL sent you, it won't mean jack squat but tell them anyway

Personally, I found the service to be on the little "eh" side while I ate here, but I give them the benefit of the doubt because it was Labor Day Weekend. Our waiter wasn't as attentive to us as what all the reviews on here say. The food was great though. The portions here are big. The seafood was fresh. I enjoyed my fish tacos with deviled eggs! Yum! We ordered the coconut shrimp as an appetizers and those were great as well. Very flavorful food here! Heads up: It is also a pet friendly place, so you can eat on their outdoor patio with your favorite four-legged animal (:

After having a few bad dining experiences in Ft. lauderdale, Coconuts was such a savior. Waitstaff was fantastic, offered great suggestions and were incredibly attentive. We had two males waiters who both created a truly unique experience! The food was out of this world, we ate at the Seafood Bar side and everything we had a wonderful. I would 100% recommend a visit here if you're in the area and looking for great seafood & service!

this place is fun and tasty. they valet for free which takes stress out for sure. then you walk into a very comfortable florida feeling. meet a fun staff(Amanda) and then you eat. coconut shrimp were really good. good start. lobster bisque and clam chowder were both very good. a grilled dolphin to perfection and a lobster roll completed the order. onl issue was the bun on the lobster roll was toasted too much and broke in half. not what i am looking for in a good lobster roll. the lobster was good and fresh. this will require a revisit for sure. a good meal and a nice place to have it.

This is the second time I have been here and they continue with the great food and excellent service. I had the coconut shrimp and they were perfect...not too much breading and nice BIG shrimp too. Great environment to just have a great meal and chill next to the water. Food is always on point and I will be back. The beers just have to come out a bit colder that all, but otherwise it's a definite YES!

Loved the coconut shrimp appetizer, drinks are great as well! Had a challenging time selecting our dinner or other appetizers because everything sounds yummy! Needless to say I will return! Oh! Complimentary valet guys are great too!

A nearly perfect experience - recommended by a local, we sought this place out. Sat at the bar (the restaurant was very crowded) and the bartender made GREAT recommendations - we ate like KINGS! Don't miss the Scoobies and the Crab Empanadas.

Cathy S.

Lobster roll may not be as good as in New England, but it still delivers with decent amount of lobster meat. Don't order the fish taco if you can only tolerate fried fish in a taco like me.

Molly K.

Both food and service were excellent. We had the scoobies and coconut shrimp for appetizers and loved both. The scoobies were unique and so delicious. I had the soft shell crab that came with a spicy mango sauce. It was the best meal I've had in a long time. Dessert was superb as well. Definitely recommend this place to all!

Dustin M.

I've only been here for brunch, and highly recommend this joint. Great service, food and drinks. Sit out on deck and checkout the mega yachts a few hundred feet away. Coconuts doesn't look like much from the road, but its a nice place right on the water.

We came here with grumbling stomachs and a little early before opening. However, the scenic waterside was enjoyable enough to burn the extra 30 minutes. We got 4 dishes to share amongst 5 people which was more than enough to leave us satisfied. We got: fried coconut shrimp, lobster roll, comfort bowl and the yard bird. I thought the food and service was pretty standard and average, however nothing exceptional. The coconut shrimp had a little too much batter on them but the papaya coconut dip was delicious. The lobster roll was good but it was bordering on the bland side (I've definitely have had better lobster rolls). The comfort bowl advertised Sriracha sauce, but I couldn't taste it and I felt the sauce to be quite heavy.

This food is as good and fresh as any I've had. Was told it would be an hour wait, That we stepped next door to G&B oyster bar And had a glass of wine and some Crispy oysters. Our buzzer rang in about 30 minutes and we got the most incredible table right at the water The crabcakes entrÃ©e was delicious will of fresh lump crabmeat and I got a side of macaroni and cheese that was so hot it almost burned my mouth My husband got grilled mahi-mahi and it was incredible the freshness was great and also the grilled flavor. He got the sausage stuffing and absolutely loved it it had so much sage in it and he loved it There are a few places on Fort Lauderdale beach some with nice sliding chairs (Oasis CafÃ©) but this place is worth it for the food

We came here for lunch the day we arrived and greatly enjoyed sitting out in the sun looking over the marina. The conch fritters, and especially the dipping sauce that comes with them, were a highlight. The lobster roll was also good, if a bit too rich. We tried coming back for dinner a few days later, but the wait was over an hour. It's clearly a popular place.

So, it took me a few days after I ate at this place to decide whether I liked it or not and honestly I still haven't quite figured it out. Coconuts is a great atmosphere. Its super causal and overlooking the water so the indoor and outdoor seating areas are very comfortable and relaxing. The service was great. Our waiter was really friendly and the food was brought out in a timely manner. I think it took me a few days to think this place over because I was expecting too much based on the reviews. We ordered the conch fritters, which were pretty good. They were large and warm and the best part of our meal. For the main entree, I ordered the lobster roll with macaroni and cheese. The mac-n-cheese was delicious! It was baked with bread crumbs on top and just perfect. The lobster roll, I had a little bit of an issue with. First, I thought that it would be placed on a kaiser roll or a decent quality bread. Unfortunately, this was not the case. The lobster salad was placed on a piece of Texas Toast (which I'm not a big fan of because it gets soggy) and was covered in mayo. I'm not a huge mayo person so I was a bit disappointed in this. Lobster is such a powerful dish that there's no need to drench its wonderful taste in anything, especially mayo. The chunks of lobster were huge though, so that was a positive. I just wish mayo wasn't the star of the dish. Overall, it was a decent meal. Will I be a return customer though? Probably not.

Tim D.

Another positive review. Excellent service, friendly staff. Great atmosphere. We had their crab claws for starters, fantastic! Followed by clam chowder, extremely good as well. The main courses were not to disappoint, coconut shrimp, and crab cakes, both generous portions and very little filling with crab cakes, mainly crab = wonderful! A great dinner, friendly casual atmosphere all with a beautiful view. A great place!

Timothy D.

Great light salads, chicken Caesar (me) and Maine lobster salad (Keith). Good is always good. This time however, service was a miss. Waited 25 minutes for a table that was set and empty when we walked in. Ordered rather quickly, however another 25 mins for the two salads. I am not giving up yet, the vibe is fun and the view of the causeway is a treat.

Ann D.

Fantastic everything. We are from Chicago where Pizza is as good as it gets and we have been searching for Pizza and found nothing to compare UNTIL we went to Panaretto Pizza. This will be the only place that we will now go for authentic Pizza, it is just EXCELLENT. The pasta dishes and small plates are also incredible and our service was excellent and friendly.

my bf is super picky so I nearly fell over when he continued to rave about this place after we ate there tonight. It's New Year's Eve and we had reservations. We were seated promptly and the service was great. We ordered 2 of the app specials and some oysters, all were amazing. We ordered our meals, also great. Our server was very helpful in making suggestions. We ordered espresso & key lime pie... also good. We sat there for 2 hours and never felt rushed. I have a feeling we'll be back ;)

View was beautiful. Huge yachts. Food was good. I did not think overall it was 4 star. Clam chowder was excellent. Steamers were ok. Conch fritters were ok.

I went here the other day. Nice. Sunny enjoyable day. We had the brunch menu and lunch menu. One side of the brunch menu was theirs and the other side had two other restaurants. One out of the two had a better selection to choose from. Not a wise choice to have that there. We order our food came out at a reasonable fashion. I had the meat omelet shock never said on the menu it came with chimmicurri sauce on it. Oh boy it was on that omelet. I took off the cheese to see if I could scrap some of it off. It didn't work. I think the manager came by and saw there was something wrong I was like I wasn't informed that this sauce was gonna be on here and I'm not a fan of it. What he did was go in the back put a new piece of cheese on it and put it right back on the same plate. Let me remind you the plate still had that juice from the sauce all at the bottom. He put back the omelet on the plate and called it a day. He wasn't the one who brought it back out it was another server. The service was great. I wish they they would explain what each item had on them properly cz I didn't eat. I'm tried the potato cakes that were great. They came as a side with two cakes. Overall it was an okay brunch but wish the food was better.

Beautiful view, we had the naan flatbread with sausage and eggs on top and the banana bread pudding french toast. Yummmm. They bring out a sample of their delicious hand fried donuts in the beginning just to get the taste buds going. Definitely returning here for another meal!

Kathryn R.

My boyfriend just moved to Fort Lauderdale and we decided on Coconuts for his birthday brunch. We wanted to go somewhere on the water, and the menu and reviews made Coconuts sound yummy! We waited for our table at the bar for only a couple minutes. We both ordered mimosas and were pleasantly surprised with a little donut appetizer at the bar. We chose to sit outside and lucked out with a table right by the water. We picked the lobster benedict and the shrimp and grits to share. Our meals came very quick and both dishes were absolutely delicious! (I definitely recommend the lobster benedict!) After ordering a third round of mimosas, we got our bill -- with everything included, drinks and all, it was less than $100. Great food, great drinks, great service, great atmosphere! Couldn't have asked for more! We will definitely return to Coconuts! It's a perfect spot for brunch or lunch followed by a day at the beach.

Latoya S.

What a big big disappointment!!!!! This is the first time yelp has let me down. Over 700 five star reviews. This established sells nothing but overpriced, bland, average tasting food. I've had far better food at Cheesecake Factory for way less money. They charged me $11.50 for the smallest and nastiest crab cake I ever tasted in my life, not to compare but just the day before I ordered six moist and very delicious crab cakes from Cheesecake for only six bucks! This place is ridiculously over priced for what you get, I don't mind dropping good money on food but at least let it taste good. I also ordered the coconut shrimp which again was just OK, I've tasted way better in the frozen section of the grocery, and I ordered the scubies "crab claws" those were pretty decent but definitely not worth $17. Last but not least you "Have TO Valet Park" there is no other option.

Alissa W.

This place is on the water. Even though we are in South Florida there are not a lot of options for waterfront dinning. Went for lunch Sunday I read about their fish tacos. I am on a hunt for the best fish tacos. These definitely were not a winner. The fish was fresh although it had no seasoning at all. They don't even offer the option to blacken them. $14 comes with a side two decent size flour or soft corn tacos. They don't come with anything inside just a bunch of tomatoes they call salsa. I call them diced tomatoes. I was not impressed. The inside has partial air it wasn't freezing but it also was not hot. Parking is free if you eat there. They is one plus! Not sure I a, running back to this pace.

This place is a must and worth the wait. Food is great, good prices and service is average. This place is a definite to visit again. Sit outside on the water and enjoy a nice dinner or lunch.

BUZZ - Fish Tacos (9/10) - Conch Fritters (8/10) - Scoobies (wth are these?) I ALSO TRIED - Cape Cod Oysters (7/10) - Deviled Eggs (7/10) Why I don't prepare for these trips is beyond me. Before I got promoted, I used to travel a decent amount, and when I did, I was usually there for a week. Nowadays, it's usually either fly back the same day or the next day. Which means I don't have time to research eats anymore! This time, WikiTravel and Guy Fieri both failed me, so I did a "Most Reviews" search on Yelp (WHY IS THIS NOT ON THE PHONE VERSIONS?!), and found Coconuts. It was #2 on the list, but closest to where I was, so off I went. I'm from Chicago. Yeah we have our share of seafood joints, but they're all mad expensive, because everything's imported, so I don't go very often, and when I read through seafood menus, I'm as confused as a platypus's identity. The poor waiter had to come by like 3 times before I was actually ready to order. Diet Coke was probably my most confident choice. FISH TACOS According to the menu, these are a "local favorite." They also take residence in most Yelp reviews for this place (or so Yelp says). I was starving, and the thought of fish tacos was not very satisfying, especially after thinking about portion sizes of Jambalaya, Paella, or a multi-appetizer meal. When he came to take the order, I just said whatever was on the tip of my tongue at the moment. First, these are big fish tacos! I don't have them very often, but the ones I've had are pretty mini. They're double tortilla'd with a corn one in the middle and a flour one around that. Best size comparison I can think of is a typical Gyro. Jam packed with large cuts of grilled fish and what looked almost like a magnified ceviche. Very delicious! First, I'm picky about tacos or anything that's wrapped in a bunch of carbs (i.e. hot dogs, burgers, etc.) because too often, the bread (or tortilla) hides or overpowers the flavors. I was amazed at how transparent these 2 tortillas were! They even lended a bit of corn/flour flavor, but were completely unselfish and didn't take away ANY flavors at all! Second, I love tomatoes, and these giant pieces of tomatoes were so perfectly ripe, and gave the taco such a tomato-y flavor that I just couldn't get enough of it! I say ceviche, because there were a ton of big pieces of tomato, a few big pieces of avocado, and maybe some very little bits of onion, but there was sort of an underlying flavor that added just a touch of sourness that masked as seasoning, and made the flavors so complex and unique. It was almost like a pico de gallo minus chiles and cilantro. Then the fish! I'm not adept enough to know what kind of fish it was, but whatever it was, it was very moist (unlike most fish tacos), flavorful (unlike most fish tacos), and was rich in seasoning (unlike most fish tacos)! I've never had fish in fish tacos actually taste good by themselves! They're always so dependent on you pouring gallons of salsa to extract any flavor, but these, no way, they were just spot on. Never a dull moment, and by that I mean, at NO point in any bite of these 2 tacos, do you ever have the desire to reach for salt, salsa, pepper, seasoning, fritter sauce, or ANYTHING! It's just a very well balanced and, honestly, best fish taco I've ever had. CONCH FRITTERS Never even heard of these before. Only fritters I've ever known were Apple Fritters. So, these are like ping pong ball sized balls of...conch... deep fried in something like a beer batter. Texture is kind of like...um... uh... maybe shrimp shu mai (dim sum)? It's not very crispy beer batter, unfortunately. I mean, it's not soggy or anything, but it...gives, if you know what I mean. Anyway, it's a rather pleasing taste, I could hardly taste anything seafood-y. The sauce was very tasty. It was like a sweet and tangy mustard/vinaigrette sauce. Reminded me a little of the champagne vinegar they gave me for the oysters. All in all, pretty tasty, and fried enough for my liking. CAPE COD OYSTERS At $2 a piece, not worth it! These are tiny oysters! I'm used to like, large avocado size shells, these are like half that! 1/2 dozen ($12) were finished immediately; however, the Mignonette sauce was very good. I'm not an expert at oysters at all, but the last time I had that sauce, it was way too vinegary. They said they used a champagne vinegar in this, so it gave it a much more milder and pleasant taste (at least for me). DEVILED EGGS Your entree comes with 1 side, and I somehow ordered mine with deviled eggs. Guess I was craving mayo. They were fine, though. Nothing wrong with them at all, but just like your run of the mill deviled eggs. LAST WORDS Very solid place! My whole meal was (with tip) about $42. Oh yeah...18% Gratuity is added automatically, even if you're by yourself! In any case, their menu isn't very descriptive, but based on my experience, I think you can order anything here and you'll at least be pleased.

This place is a huge disappointment! As usual they have Valet Parking which cost $5. Well most places charge this but seriously considering the price of the food this should have even free. Ok now to the food, the worst crab cakes ever, I could have walked into a corner store to have something better. Also ordered a steak (I know this is a seafood joint, but if you have steak on the menu at least cook it properly! I ordered a medium and my steak ranged from rare to well done depending on where you cut the meat, absolutely horrendous! When you sit outside on the dock there is a strong smell of gasoline whenever some one docks their boat, this is the last thing I want to smell when the food is also terrible. Absolutely ruined my birthday! I don't recommend this place at all.

Place is unbelievable. Food & service is top notch. So good that I had my lunch & dinner here during my one day stay. Enjoyed the jerk chicken wings, alligator ribs, fish tacos, scoobies, jambalaya, heirloom tomatoe salad, & more. Everything was incredible but the absolute standouts had to be the jerk chicken, jambalaya, & fish tacos (although EVERYTHING was sooo good & you really cant go wrong). On too of the food, the waitstaff was top notch & seemed to be on top of everything. I'll be back on my next visit to ft lauderdale

Charmie P.

I have been here several times, I always sit outside, the patio is casual, its facing the intercoastal and has a beautiful view. They have a small menu and its mostly seafood, I don't eat most seafood but everyone else at my table always say the seafood is fresh and good. I usually stick to the chicken sandwich, it's not phenomenal but its pretty good.

One of my employees set up a happy hour/dinner for our office and chose this location. Saying yes to joining the group was a fine chance to mingle with my new hires and to go to the beach for an exciting evening out. I'm happy to report this satisfied on each and every front. We started at the bar with draft beers. They have a very interesting variety of different draft beers to chose from and the bartender was highly acquainted in explaining each one of them. We really appreciated her knowledge of her subject matter, not to mention the great beers. It was a struggle to seat a group as large as ours and even though it continued to grow, the restaurant was able to accommodate us. We ordered appetizers of the coconut shrimp, the fish dip and the conch fritters. Each was interesting. I liked the fish dip but thought it might have been a bit too creamy for my taste. Everyone else seemed to like it, thought. The coconut shrimp were HUGE and I thought could have used a bit more coconut in them but I like very pronounced and strong flavors in food I eat. I also thought it would be better with a different sauce but again, I was outvoted on this. My husband chose the fish tacos and he described them as being among the best he'd had, and he chose fries as his side. I ordered the lobster role sandwich and chose sliced tomatoes as my side. The sandwich had TONS of lobster and the bun was nicely toasted. The sliced tomatoes were so good I almost forgot about my sandwich and was forced to share them with the table because they were so large I couldn't finish them. They were prepared with olive oil and vinegar with some basil that was sliced chiffonade-style. We passed on dessert because we were too full but the menu for that looked really amazing. This place has great indoor and outdoor seating, nightly specials that are well priced and is just a jewel one block off the beach.

Hands down - my favorite restaurant in Fort Lauderdale. This is my absolute go to when recommending restaurants for out of towners. Ask for the scoobies, I don't think they're on the menu. Unreal.

Mandy J.

Upon walking up to this hidden gem in Fort Lauderdale, it has a true SoFlo vibe. As I sat at the bar and ordered a glass of RosÃ©, the adorable bartender informed me that bottles were half off! Why not... right?! After all, my friend kept me waiting (as always). Once he finally arrived, we were sat immediately at a perfect table outside with an amazing view of the Yachts that were docked on the intercostal. Onto dinner... Scooby Snacks, just do it. Heirloom Tomato Salad, amazing. Crab Cakes, to die for. Cobia Special of the day...delectable. Specialty cocktails (Watermelon Margarita has my heart), pretty damn tasty. Have to warn 'ya though... you're gonna need a nap after this amazing meal. Being in the restaurant industry, I am unintentionally always overcritical of restaurant cleanliness, staff interaction, menu presentation, and of course... menu knowledge. Coconuts has knocked all of the categories out of the park yet again. 5 stars all around. Now if I could only remember that adorable bartenders name....

I visited Coconuts this past weekend while staying on FLL Beach, and had an enjoyable dinner with a friend of mine. Meal Breakdown: For our appetizer we had the Grilled Calamari that was one of the nights special. Now I usually go for fried calamari, but I have to say this was really good, It's not a huge portion (we devoured it in like 3 minutes) but it's cooked perfectly, well seasoned, and has diced tomatoes and other herbs on top as well a nice dipping sauce (can't remember what it was called). For our meals: I had the Yard Bird (1/2 a chicken marinated in rosemary and lemon, and pan-seared) now I eat a lot of chicken and I must say this was cooked really very well, it was seasoned perfectly, and fell right off the bone. I order Mac & Cheese for my side and although it wasn't the best mac & cheese I have ever had it was still tasty and finished off my meal perfectly. For someone who can't eat seafood, I always worry when going to a restaurant known for it's seafood as I feel they don't focus as much on the other dishes, but Coconuts surprised me with how well they pulled htis one off! My friend had the Jambalaya, and said that although it wasn't as soup-y as many others tried before, that it was definitely one of the best they had ever tasted, IT had shrimp in it so I couldn't get a bite (unfortunately) but It did look yummy. Both meals were really good sized portions, and would satisfy any hungry person. The pricing wasn't bad either, but we didn't order any alcohol so I am sure that would have boosted the bill way up. Our total (w/gratuity - which is automatically included) came to about $66.00 which is really good for nice dining on the beach. Definitely give this place a try if you are the mood for seafood (or are with someone who is).

Rainer L.

Visited the Japanese restaurant TSUKURO on Jan 6 in Ft. Lauderdale for drinks. Our drinks were not listed in the menu but because of the happy hour the offer was 2 drinks for one. Everything went Ok until our waiter brought the check. In the check was automatically added the service charge (tip) which was calculated from the original price of four drinks though we were supposed to pay only the price of 2 drinks because of the happy hour. The net amount of the check was 48 dollars and the tip 14.40 dollars which is 30 % of the total. I felt that this pretty much is a very unethical way to "cheat" customers. Money wise this is not a big deal but I am not going to visit TSUKURO again.

I love Coconuts. They have a small menu but they always have a ton of really great daily specials so you can never get bored of this place. The ambiance is tropical and it is a perfect restaurant to take out of towners (it over looks the inter-coastal and you often see pelicans and huge tarpon in the water). Brunch is always amazing on Sunday too! A few things you must try: The Frozen Mojitos, Coconut Cheesecake, Lobster Roll and the Scoobies! Delish!

Waiter brought out the wrong food. Lobster tasted very fishy . Box Mac and cheese tastes better than the Mac n cheese here :( was so disappointed

I'm and old timer when it comes to Coconuts. I finally stopped by here after years of absence from the place. The original Coconuts was wonderful, but then some creep (to be more technically correct, asshole) went and bought out the original Coconuts, renaming it Forte's, and also Tug Boat Annie's down in Dania. Within a matter of months and at great expense, he managed to destroy both places. Ugh! It was so sad. Tug Boat Annie's never did make a comeback and though Coconuts had difficulties in returning to what it was, I am happy to report that, not only have they accomplished that, but they are in fact now better than ever. The food is top notch, particularly the seafood. Think fish tacos, lobster rolls, crab cakes, halibut sandwiches. The pulled pork and chicken sandwiches are also very good, and I have also found their drinks rather good and reasonably priced considering the location being on the beach. The service is polite and professional, and the view overlooking some of the larger boat moorings on the Intercoastal is just about as good as any water view gets. It's also fun to see the group fishing boats coming in and out, taking a short walk and discovering what their catches have been for the day. Parking is still a painful ordeal, but such is life, particularly "on season" when on beachside in Fort Lauderdale.

I ate here yesterday with a few friends that I had not seen in a while. The atmosphere is lovely, as it sits on the water. The only bad thing I can say, is that it was quite sunny outside, and they didn't have an umbrella for our area, as it broke the day before. The food was spectacular! Our appetizer came out after our main course by accident, but the management was so wonderful to fix this problem. They not only comped the appetizer, but also gave the entire table a free dessert. The free dessert was this gigantic ice cream cookie sandwich. It was to die for! I actually love the fact that they made the mistake with the appetizer, or I never would have tasted that ooey-goodness! This is a definite recommendation!
