Southport Raw Bar Restaurant

The SouthPort Raw Bar was selected because it had wi-fi available and because of its popular-priced menu. As it turned out service was the star here. The wi-fi was great but no electrical outlet limited usage to battery storage. My order of fish dip was huge and delicious and easily enabled table sharing for 5 of us and my clam chowder was thick and tasty with enough clams to satisfy. The grilled dolphin serving was huge and the rice accompaniment was mammoth – cooked perfectly. Another word on service: Our waitress was extremely friendly, exceptionally helpful in selecting our choices and very attentive. Besides the team waiting we were assisted by the very friendly manager who put together two tables for our party and later checked to make certain all was OK. Twice we were visited by the chef to also ascertain that all was OK. The wide variety of choices (heavy on the seafood) will allow anyone to return often to try other delectable soups, salads, sandwiches, entrees and deserts.

I felt like a tourist during my one visit. The staff is very friendly and everything we ordered was really good. It’s the place to take out of town visitors for a real Fort Lauderdale fish experience. It was a good meal and everyone seemed to be having a fun time.

Recommended by our friends and they were right on. A great place for cold beer, the best spicy shrimp I've ever had (better than the famous Fishbone's in Detroit). Nice to sit with Barb outside and watch the boats and eat shrimp and crackers and their great clam chowder and drink Michigan beer.

I visited this restaurant for the first time this past October and I plan on visiting every time I'm in town. I was in town for 5 days and visited this restaurant three times. Everyone there is so friendly- from the managers to the wait staff to the locals. The food is great and what a deal!! I am suggesting this restaurant to all of my friends that visit FL.

Every time Claudia and I visit Lauderdale by the Sea, we stop at the Southport. This is one of our favorite areas in the U.S. because it is lively and has good food at decent prices. Waitresses ;usually ; are fun and helpful. The steamed shrimp with hot sauce is Emeril good. We 've been coming to the Southport from Michigan for the past 15 years and it has not changed. We will be back four times next year and will not miss the Southport or Bimini Boatyard right around the corner another absolute must.
