We had the fish taco's and conch fritters everything was perfect. This place is kind of down home south Florida style atmosphere. If you are looking for very reasonably priced seafood this is it

Larissa Guerrero

Great food and the price is incredible. We had dinner for 6 people, including appetizers from the raw bar , drinks, dessert , entrees and the check was only like $120. The seafood was VERY fresh!!

VisitLauderdale

The only thing better than happy hour is two happy hours ! Early Happy Hour M-F 4-7pm or Late Night Happy Hour Sat-Thu 11pm-close, featuring select clams , shrimp and drink specials .

When a place is called “Raw Bar ” you have to try a raw mixed platter. I always feel that seafood is so much more delicious if the place where you eat is right by the pier or the water in general. ????

Paul Michalowski

When in Fort Lauderdale stop by Southport Raw bar for some great bay shrimp and some Oysters . Dockside Patio is very popular so try and get here early for outdoor seating ! Nice view .

Robert Burr

Unpretentious seafood place frequented by locals offers consistent good food and service. Fried oysters are especially good, fish sandwich , clams , even burgers . Prices are below average.

Olga Alexeeva

Best steamed clams in my life! And consistently great - second year coming to this place. Make sure to try their grilled oysters too :)

M/Y Freedom

Capt. Ben & Mate Jo of M/Y Freedom love to put the tender in & cruise over here for the excellent oysters , conch chowder , fried shrimp , etc.! Fun place to wind down after a hard day on deck.

Scott Tyrrell

This is my favorite stop every trip to Ft. Lauderdale. Get the old bay shrimp and the mussels .

Brian Firth

Yummy! Half & half chowder . Old bay shrimp . Blackened Mahi ceaser. Wings . & of course the shellfish are the way to go :-)

Nate Bliss

Oysters were large. Old bay shrimp were deliciously buttery. Great value , and great atmosphere. Print out the 10% off coupon from their website and bring it in!

Patrick Jong

Oysters are the best in town . Always fresh! Try the crawfish bisque on Fridays and buffalo shrimp when they have them on special. My favorite late night place . Joe the bartender is the best!

Veronica Maggiori

Get the baked stuffed clams and the clam chowder . Also excellent: onion rings , peel and eat shrimp , bimini bread , fried shrimp

New Times Broward Palm Beach

Not only is it reasonably priced but you can park your boat! All the food is incredibly fresh and they have a great wing special for happy hour !

Buddy Sherman

Try the clam chowder & conch chowder mixed. They call it 1/2 & 1/2 it's great!

VisitLauderdale

Sit outside on the back deck. Happy hour M-F, Raw Oyster in the half-shell, peel & eat creole shrimp , seafood baskets & Bimini bread :)

Michael Able

Oysters were excellent plump juicy and fresh. However had a bad experience with fish tacos . Avocado was brown and old and slaw was very to wet and drippy. Cat fish was overdone, not golden brown.

Mia

Simple place with great food! I had mussels and conch chowder . Delicious!

Dana Williams

Love the club sandwich ! Hubby had the fried oyster platter. $20.00 He said it was very good!

Evie Linger

A staple of Fort Lauderdale with great cheap seafood . Their oysters and peel and eat shrimp are great

Checkmate Maria

Awesome dolphin, awesome conch chowder , relaxed atmosphere , strange beer portions though. Just get a pitcher I guess. Overall..very good!

Andrea LoChirco

Your going to have to wait for at least 20 minutes if you go on a weekend night, it's worth it though :)

Daniel Middleton

Oysters are always good here and at happy hour they are $2 cheaper

Neil Madders

It's down to earth, cheap , friendly . Foods great and the Internet is quick. Chowder was really good.

VisitLauderdale

Check back for daily seafood specials so you can dine dockside with the chef’s freshest.

Kévin R

Old Bay shrimp is great, blacken Mahi-Mahei is good

Abhishek Shahapurkar

Amazing oysters & clams . Must try. Book waterfront tables for the perfect view .

Dana Williams

Left a previous bad report about the bartender . Received a call from the owner and he is taking care of this bartender and was very apologetic. Kudos and much thanks for the owner handling this!

FloridaRambler

No parking ? Go a half-block south and turn east onto SE 16th Street and you’ll find Southport’s “hidden” lot wedged into an alley. Path to Southport deck is at the end of the alley. More tips on link. Read more

Mackenzie Knox

They have a great Mahi sandwich , and an even better view (eat on the back deck).

VisitLauderdale

A neighborhood staple for 40 years, get a load of the creamiest clam chowder in town and a water view too.

Kathryn Lindsay

Try the variety plate - oysters , shrimp & clams !

Randal Paster

The Mahi Mahi was excellent, as was the Fish and Chips . The service was second to none.

Not much of a seafood person but this place ROCKS.....and if you're not in the mood for seafood , try their wings and miniburgers. BTW Old Bay Shrimp is where its at.

Bimini bread and a seat on the back patio makes for a perfect night.

Great specials and delicious seafood all very reasonably priced. Sit out back on the deck that over looks the marina
