Let me just start by saying if you’re a tourist or a local this place is SOLID. You won’t be disappointed with portions, service or quality. I sat at the bar and had the pleasure of being served by Charlotte. Incredibly kind, welcoming, and knows the menu like she had to had to write it on the chalkboard “Bart Simpson Style” 1000 times over and personally concocted the recipes herself. I had the seat closest to the prep kitchen where I got the pleasure of watching Ms. Freddie whip up the most incredible looking salads and desserts with the biggest smile on her face! So naturally, I had to add a Caeser Salad and a piece of their Key Lime Pie to my order. DO NOT SKIP THESE ESSENTIALS! They use what tasted like a fresh, house-made Caeser dressing with homemade croutons. Don’t get me started on the Key Lime Pie. Light, Custardy and the perfect balance of sweet to tart. They use CLASSIC CREAM whipped cream which is the best there is (so obviously had to ask her to load it up.) For my entree, I got Surf and Surf Oysters (Grilled Oysters topped with Crab) and the Coconut Shrimp. Absolutely perfect. In fact, I’m heading back for lunch now.

We’d heard this place was a long standing waterfront tradition, so we decided to check it out on a weekday afternoon. The service was quick and friendly enough, and the outdoor seating had an enjoyable yacht basin view. However, one drawback of being so popular was that the tables in our area were packed a little too tight.
The menu had plenty of options, including what we’d been told were some of the best coconut shrimp in Florida. And, as it turned out, the coconut shrimp did equal the best I’ve had anywhere. The other dishes were OK to good, though not up to the level of the shrimp.
We only experienced one glitch, which was with their famous Scoobie’s crab claw appetizer. When it came out the meat was missing from a few of the claws at the bottom of the bowel. That was a disappointment at the $28 market price for a very small bowl. The joke the rest of the afternoon was “I wonder who ate some of our crab claws?”. Beyond that, it seemed a little silly that so many items were market price, including some very simple ones like fish tacos.

When in the Florida, you must eat seafood at least once. We chose Coconuts which was conveniently located across the street from the Marriot Courtyard. We came in the middle of the week but still had to wait for about 30 minutes (1st available). We certainly had a lot of company waiting with us as this is a popular place with both outdoor seating overlooking the ICW or indoor seating (which we ended up with).
We started (and shared) the Coconut Shrimp as an appetizer which was amazing. Real coconut flakes made this dish taste the way, Coconut Shrimp should taste. For our main dish, my hubby had the fish and chips and I had the chunk crab cake with greens. Both were well prepared and delish.
The restaurant was understandably noisy and we would have really loved to sit out on the patio overlooking the water but made the decision not to wait longer.
We highly recommend Coconuts and would come here again if we were in Fort Lauderdale again.

Fabulous waterfront dining experience. I think we sampled close to ten tapas on the menu
Was visiting Ft. Lauderdale for the weekend and didn’t know exactly what to expect, but the reviews matched the experience.
Not a pretentious place at all, genuinely friendly staff and tasty food!
Jambalaya, coconut shrimp and langostino tacos were excellent. Also loved the Jerk wings and shrimp/conch fritters.
Got a key lime pie to go and fabulous service & recommendations from waitress Jessie and manager Jenny (sorry if I mixed names up again!)
Will definitely add this place to my hit list on future FLL visits!

Such a fun seafood restaurant right on the water — you know it’s good because it was absolutely packed. The coconut shrimp was AMAZING, and somehow the coleslaw and fries were just as good (seriously, don’t skip them). Staff were sooo friendly and made the whole experience even better. Definitely coming back!

This is the type of place where you are looking at everyone’s table asking oooo what is that? It looks good I might order that. I loved the coconut shrimp platter. I’m pregnant so I sadly couldn’t have any of the oysters but there was such a good selection! My mouth was watering. I also had the special, clam chowder. Great spot. Good vibes.

I would definitely recommend trying out Coconuts. Our waiter was very nice and attentive and made great recommendations. I’m not much of drinker but they were able to make on of the popular drinks, the blackberry mojito into a mocktail for me and it was delicious. My sister also got a virgin Pina colada and she enjoyed as well. The scoobies came highly recommended and I have to agree its a must try on the menu. The portion sizes were really good too. My sister got baby back ribs which was more than enough for her and I had the comfort bowl. Overall great experience, I will definitely return.

I don’t even know where to start here. The service is absolutely amazing. Our food came out within 10 minutes. My beer was halfway empty and not even my server asked if I wanted a new one. 100/10

We went here for dinner on a Saturday evening. It was quite crowded and we had a 40 minute wait. My husband got a drink at the bar nextdoor while we waited. After waiting we were seated with a good view of the harbor. Our waitress, Kimberly, was very attentive and very friendly. Needless to say, the food was very good and the portions were large. Highly recommend if you’re in the area.

This place would be one star if it wasn’t right on the water. The food is barely ok. Don’t bother with the fries. You can get better ones from the grocery freezer. The coconut shrimp were decent. My wife’s mahi mahi was also very dry. It’s a beautiful location, which is the only reason this place is so popular.
