    Great dive! Really friendly staff. Food was fantastic. Street corn is a must get. I was undecided about what to get for my main meal so I got two sliders. The Nashville hot chicken one was to die for. It’s not on the menu but you can ask for Nashville hot chicken as a full sandwich. Beer selection was fairly big and the beers on tap were local. Can’t wait to come back.

    We visited from Cape Coral after the hurricane. The food was amazing! Our server Laura was friendly and had great recommendations for beer and food! The sliders were tasty and fresh tasting! We had the piggy and Greg Brady lol the chicken and waffles were huge and the waffle was perfect done! I can’t say enough about how good everything was the entire experience was one we will repeat again.

    This was by far the best seafood hole in the wall joint I’ve ever been too! I got the catch of the day which was blackened swordfish and holy smokes was it amazing. The atmosphere was amazing, the music instilled a great vibe, and the staff was attentive to your needs. The layout was extremely cool. Felt very vintage but kept up with the times! If you want good food, good music, and a chilled vibe then this is the place to go!

    I recently had the pleasure of dining at Billy Jack's Shack in Lauderdale by the Sea and it was an amazing experience. I had the chili with cheese and it was delicious. The atmosphere is lively and fun. The service was exceptional thanks to Milo! Overall, a great dining experience that I highly recommend!

    This place is truly a hidden gem. A small hole in the wall restaurant with some delicious dishes. If you're craving fish and chips, this is the piece to go. The Billy Jack's sauce is just as good as tartar sauce with the fish. The Mexican street corn is on point! I will return to this place the next time I am in town. Service was great as well.

    I've done takeout here a couple of times and they were both amazing! Great burgers and the Greek salad was really good. Their peel and eat shrimp was very tasty as well! Tatchos were also a little unusual and delicious! Great for sharing.

    Started out with the Mexican street corn which was delicious. Got a huge chicken sandwich with a side of Mac n cheese, their chicken is juicy and yummy. Also had the Nashville hot chicken slider, it was hot and spicy and very flavorful. We also tried the nuggs and an m&m doughnut. We will be back, this place was very good and our server was the best!

    I cannot say enough good things about this place! Came for supper before our flight and the place was packed. We got the last table. The waitress was so attentive. There was live music and the energy and carefree atmosphere was contagious. I got a burger with mac n cheese on it and it was AMAZING. Great portions for a great price. Highly recommend the donuts for dessert. Can't wait to come back the next time I'm in Fort Lauderdale!

    I came here with my family and it was a dang near religious experience. My aunt almost fell to her knees and awe of the pork slider. The stick nuggs were to die for. The homemade tartar sauce was good too. Overall, this was a good experience in a nice looking place. 10 out of 10 would recommend.

    Absolutely spectacular. Loved the oysters both raw and grilled. Loved the swordfish special. And great craft beer. Very laid back feel but excellent quality ingredients.

    Shout out to Abby at the bar. This was my first time to this spot and this was definitely a place that locals visit. She made me feel right at home. Beer choices were diverse and the food was good. I ate the sliders with loaded tots. Here you can customize the types of sliders you get. I would definitely recommend loaded fries/tots each time (up charge is worth it). Abby was attentive but not over bearing which I like. She gave suggestions when asked and she was right 100% of the time. This is in the Lauderdale by the Sea area. It is definitely worth a drive if you are not close by. Management, but Abby a drink on me because she deserves it.

    Very laid back dresscode and lively patrons. They make a great bellini and have the best New Orleans style oysters that I have tasted since being in Louisiana. The picture is of the swordfish over arugula with tomatoes and Mexican street corn. I believe the dish is called the fresh catch. This was great as well and I can't wait to return.

    This place is great! A bit off the beaten path, perhaps, but well worth the block plus to walk to it. Go on...Tuesday(?) for the Happy Hour deals on sliders. The Foghorn Leghorn and Chuck Norris are my favorites, with the 50-50 and whatever I don't remember also being great. I had been trying to complete their daily beer menu at the time.

    This is the place to be. Prices are very reasonable. But wait, when you take your first bite your taste buds will truly become awaken. Hight recommend the grilled oysters!

    Our hotel bartender recommended this spot and wow, so tasty. Fried but not greasy, perfect variety for all palettes. We lucked out it was HH and they had crazy good specials on all drinks and some food. Our server Otis was SO knowledgeable, patient and friendly. He really made us feel welcomed.

    Wonderful food and ambiance are abundant at this local eatery! We shared the Mexican street corn and The Elvis burger. Both were amazingly delicious! They had live music the night we were there (Sat) and the vibe and staff are excellent! Highly recommend!

    So, I wanted to leave a really good review for this place, and then I saw the condition of the plate my and my boyfriend's meals came on. The photos show the heavily chipped enamel coated platters our food came on, with rusty metal exposed not just on the edge but centers of the plates with food sat right on top. We still ate our food but decided to skip dessert after this. Not only would the department of agriculture fine them and make them discard these plates, they should be flat out embarrassed to even use them based on appearance alone. But knowing there could be rust and enamel in my food means we won't be back unless we know this was addressed. Shame because the food was great.

    Nice location with outdoor seating. Great place to go for drinks and snacks. Tried the deep fried pickles, boneless chicken bites, tater tots and deep fried mac and cheese. Least favorite was the chicken, came with lots of pieces of just fried sauced batter. Service was okay, took reminders to get our second round of beers. Only one female and male bathroom and it wasn't very clean.
