3 Best Restaurants in Deerfield Beach, Fort Lauderdale and Broward County

Charm City Burger Company

$ Fodor's choice

This fun-and-funky grease pit in Deerfield Beach is one of Broward County's favorite dives on the supercheap. Serving up massive beef burgers, chicken burgers, and veggie burgers piled high with unapologetically fattening toppings like candied bacon strips, haystack onion straws, hash browns, and blue cheese spread, this is the true diet nemesis. Grab a side of hand-cut sweet potato fries with your burger, wash it all down with a thick Key lime milk shake, and then seal the food coma deal with a dessert of fried Oreos fritters or The Carnie, fried Twinkies with vanilla ice cream, chocolate sauce, and powdered sugar.

Oceans 234

$$$$
With breathtaking views of the Atlantic Ocean, this oceanfront restaurant has a massive menu full of seafood, from raw bar selections to miso salmon and Yucatan mahi. The restaurant is located on the sand, making it easy for guests to take a postmeal walk along the beach or down the neighboring Deerfield Beach International Fishing Pier. Expect plenty of seasonal flavors and fresh veggies as well as an award-winning wine list.

The Whale's Rib Raw Bar

$$

For a casual, almost funky, nautical experience near the beach, look no further than this raw bar featured on Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives. If you want to blend in, order a fish special with whale fries—thinly sliced potatoes that look like hot potato chips. (People come from near and far for these famous fries!) Those with smaller appetites can choose from salads and raw-bar favorites like steamed Ipswich clams.
