Our servers Tami & Joe were both pleasant, knowledgeable & prompt. Our dinners came perfect and piping hot. We also ordered dessert to go as we were stuffed and couldn't eat another bite at the table.

Tropical Acres is a guaranteed great meal from start to finish. The bread is always fresh and warm, the salads are fresh and crisp, they make the best martinis , and the seafood is superb.

Went for the Early Bird Dinner and what a value! For the price of the entree you get soup , salad , entree, a side, drink, dessert and sour dough rolls. I had the Tuscan Tbone and it was incredible.

It was a very nice find. Enjoyed the food, old school ambience (afterall they are celebrating 70 years), friendly staff and excellent food!By the way For 32.00 there porter house steak is out of sight

Best steak in South Florida. I had the 26oz NY Strip and it was perfectly cooked. Prices are 40% cheaper than most other high-end steak restaurants . Tropical Acres is so old it is unique.

Absolutely love this place. The food is great, the service is great, the value is great. One of my "go to" places for an occassion. My favorite is the rack of lamb . Love the place.

Always great service and the meat selections are always superb. Caymus is priced amazingly cheap for resturant goers and the piano playing adds a touch of class to an ole school dining experience.

Great Steak restaurant that won't break the bank ! Great service, one of the owners comes to the table every time and is genuinely concerned that everything is perfect. Steaks are cooked perfectly

I've been getting awards here since the early 70's. I'm so glad they're still around. Sorry, yes my 15 yr. Lifetime Honor Society Pin came from last month but we're back every month for the food.

First visit & experienced the friendliest wait staff along with the host. My steak was prepared exactly the way it was ordered. The salad was fresh, & the piano player was a nice addition to the meal.

The special filet was in my top lifetime 3, the lobster tails were outstanding. There were two servers for my table & one was the grandson of the founder. you could see the pride he took in the meal.

This place was sooo good! Visited Fort Lauderdale for my sister in laws birthday and was pleasantly surprised. It has the feel and class from an old school steak house which made me feel at home. .

Spent a weekend in Ft. Lauderdale and went to Tropical Acres at the recommendation of our hotel . Classic steak and seafood house with excellent service, sublime steaks and fish

Their food is always fantastic...if you go there, you must get the salad w/gorgonzola dressing ....really special treat! Very professional & knowledgeable wait staff ...old Florida charm decor

Terri Santon

Always a great meal, the steaks are tender and nice sized, the lobster special is great even when your date eats 1/2. best value for the best steaks in south fl.

UnbiasedT

The place was packed, and the food and service were excellent. I've since gone back at least 3 or 4 times a year to satisfy my need for its old Fort Lauderdale look and style.

Stellar service from bartenders Sharon and Tom. Enjoyed good house wine and great appetizers . The fried mozzarella was from fresh (not frozen sticks) and a perfect house-made marinara .

I have been dining at Tropical Acres for over 25 years & have never had a bad experience. It's a wonderful family owned restaurant that not only cares for it's customers but also it's dedicated staff .

Joshua Ward

A very nice place with retro style and elegance, along with old fashioned decor and service style. Steak seasoning is a bit bold for me, but it still tasted great.

If you haven't had a chance to visit Tropical Acres , think about visiting during happy hour . They have great bar specials and Tommy the bartender treats his guests like royalty.

Zytowski

While on vacations stopped at the restaurant for dinner . Ambiance was very nice and relaxing with a piano player . The Ceasar salad and the onion toasts were delicious.

Ivy47

The food, the people, the service. They ever know how to properly cook my steak 'Pittsburgh". We celebrated my parent's 40th anniversary there & they made a carrot cake especially at my request.

Ever since 1949, Tropical Acres Steakhouse has sat on the outskirts of Fort Lauderdale, serving steaks , formality and a taste of the good life.

Luz

We had the LOBSTER SPECIAL tonite at Tropical Acres . It is a family friendly deal because of the price and the large lobster portion. It was delicious and filling.

Jillian Burgard

due to Covid-19 that this restaurant had turned into a butcher shop . There prices looked very reasonable so I called to place an order. They were very friendly on the phone and took my order.

Tropical Acres has never disappointed. If you are in the mood for steak (or seafood ), this is the place that will be sure to please.

Violet

This was the fourth time I have been to this restaurant and I am more impressed each time. Although it was packed for a Saturday night dinner , we only waited in the bar for about 15 minutes.

Brook

Have been going to Tropical Acres since I was a kid with my parents (many years ago) - reliable good food, nice older atmosphere.

Amanda Moreland

The seafood platter was excellent! I personally did not like the crab cakes , they seemed a bit overdone and had too many spices in them. Overall great meal!

Maude

Place was crowded but service was pretty good. Had the crab stuffed mushrooms and a medium rare filet and key lime pie for desert . Just a great meal.

Andrea R

Eaten here a number of times. The food is always good. Once in a while they have a piano player for quiet entertainment while eating.

Virginia P

Food and service was phenomenal! Went there for my grandmothers birthday with a big group and everyone loved their meal.

feagkin

The place is a riot... back to the 1970's. You can't even call it retro , because it's original! The steaks are great and the waitresses are hilarious..

Cerie

We went here after our wedding 45 years ago. We have always enjoyed the meal and the service. Great steaks and seafood .

Stasho74
