- MMaryFort Lauderdale •1 review5.0Dined 2 days agoThe decor in Catfish Dewey’s hasn’t changed a bit since it opened, but that is part of its charm. The food hasn’t changed either, still delicious, hot and fresh. Excellent value, generous portions. The catfish has a delicious outer cornmeal crust and the fish itself is tender and moist, great side dishes and the collard greens are awesome!More infoCatfish Dewey's$$$$• Seafood• Oakland Park•4.7
- AAnnaFort Lauderdale •1 review5.0Dined 4 days agoI had a wonderful experience at CHIMA Fort Lauderdale this afternoon! From the delicious food to the excellent service, everything was absolutely amazing. My server, Enrique, was outstanding attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our visit. The meat was cooked to perfection, with every bite being delicious, and the drinks were just as impressive. The entire experience was lovely, and the atmosphere made it even more enjoyable. Thank you, Enrique, for making our afternoon so special! I highly recommend CHIMA Fort Lauderdale and look forward to coming back! ⭐️More infoChima Steakhouse - Fort Lauderdale$$$$• Steakhouse• Las Olas Isles•4.8
