Even Keel Fish Shack

Grilled and Cold oysters are FIRE, Lobster Roll is FIRE, Fries are perfect! Bread is soft and just melts in your mouth! Atmosphere is so welcoming and comfortable and the service has been top notch! Highly recommend and we will be back next time we’re in town!

The good definitely brings me back, the drinks and great service reel me in.
Although “biscuits” are technically missing from the menu, GET INTO THE BISCUITS!
The ceviche is a popular choice. Delicious oysters, grilled and raw. So many delicious food options.
Descent for solos, couples, or families, and dog friendly.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Even Keel Fish Club in Lauderdale-By-The-Sea, and let me tell you, it was nothing short of amazing. The seafood was top-notch, and the live music was the icing on the cake. The atmosphere was lively and energetic, creating the perfect backdrop for my dining experience.

As soon as we walked in, we were greeted by friendly and welcoming staff. Our server was attentive and knowledgeable about the menu, and he helped guide us through the options to ensure we had an unforgettable meal. The seafood was incredibly fresh and cooked to perfection - it was clear that the chefs really knew what they're doing in the kitchen.

I particularly enjoyed the live music that was playing during our meal. It added a fun and festive element to the experience and really elevated the overall ambiance of the restaurant. It was clear that the musicians were not only talented but passionate about their craft as well.

All in all, Even Keel Fish Club was an outstanding dining experience that I would highly recommend to anyone looking for great seafood, live music, and a fun night out. The service was exemplary, and the rest of the staff was warm and friendly, making the entire experience that much better. I will definitely be back when I am in town again!

Great place, do not doubt about coming. The place is the best bar I’ve been in Florida. Drinks are good and food.. food has the perfect taste.
We had for eating Bang bang shrimp, Crab guacamole and house local fish dip. Everything is fresh, the size is good, and the combination of all the flavors makes it better.

Lobster roll was fantastic huge chunks of tasty lobster great sauce. Server was kind and very knowledgeable of best items on menu. Great polk audio speaker system and outdoor seating area, 10/10.

Even keel fish shack is wonderful!
While I had tried their oysters before at an even last year, I had not had an opportunity to go to their actual location in Lauderdale by the sea. We got there a little after 8pm on a Sunday. Knowing they had amazing oysters I was so excited to try what the had fresh on the menu!

We started with a dozen of their pink moon oysters. They were so fresh and the flavor of the sea was so mild. They were paired with a housemade tarragon mignonette, fresh horseradish, cocktail sauce and we got their house made Hot sauce as well. We also sipped on their froze tequila calls "salt and the sea" which was absolutely perfect accompaniment to the oysters! Next we got the adult grilled cheese and sweet corn and clam chowder. With the entrees we had the even keel old fashioned & The floor is Guava Lava drinks.

We perched up by the street corner at their outdoor high tops! The night was beautiful and we could still have nice conversation with surrounding noise. There was live music inside the restaurant which was chill. Our sever was really cool. We had great banter and he gave us awesome recommendations for what to get. I believe his name was Spence I am looking forward to going again with a more robust appetite but this experiment was FANTASTIC!!

During a visit from South Carolina we ate at Even Keel. Sat outside the first night. The food was AMAZING! Service matched it. We came back again and had a completely different meal and it was even better than night one. I can’t say enough about Chef Brad and his crew! Put this restaurant on your bucket list!

Food and drinks were good. Great outdoor seating.

Lovely place. The cook is super nice. 2$ oysters are an excellent deal. And you can get some spicy sauce home made by us
I fully recommend

Love this place! Service is was phenomenal and food was nothing short of amazing. We ordered one of the seafood towers and had a few oyster shooters and enjoyed everything, all the food was super fresh!

Even Keel is my absolute favorite restaurant in South Florida. Chef Brad is a culinary genius. His love for food is evident in all of his amazing dishes.

Delicious meal all around! The atmosphere, service, and the food were all phenomenal. Pretty much sampled most of the seafood on the menu and most of their dessert. Great wine selection and beer selection. Will definitely go back when I'm in Fort Lauderdale.

The staff was knowledgeable and ambience of the restaurant was fantastic.

Awesome, the manager Jason, really went the extra mile to make us feel comfortable. Can't say enough about him. The server Jasmin did an excellent job to. Food and drinks really hit the spot. Am going back tonight!

Love coming to this place! The food and drinks are always good! Try the rum punch...so delicious and lobster roll. Always a great spot to eat and drink and people watch.

10/10 the lobster roll is the best I’ve had! Brad, Chris, and Jared are so spectacular. We truly felt like family! Just go!!!

This place is the perfect little spot. I enjoyed eating and having a couple of drinks at the outside bar area. The bang bang shrimp was fabulous, and the pinapple siracha margarita was probably one of the best cocktails i ever had. Love it!!

There isn’t a better lobster roll available. The quality of the meat is just the beginning. The roll itself is crispy on the outside, soft on the inside without being too thick. The portion is perfect. The ginger fresno butter is decadent, and the lemon aioli is a perfect compliment. There are so many layers of complex flavor that don’t contradict each other, but add up to the best mouthful of food I’ve ever had. If you don’t have a lobster roll here, you’re making a grave mistake. I never leave reviews, I just had to after this experience. Shout out to Andrew for the great service.

Wonderful food and service! The whole snapper was out of this world. The Tuesday oyster special for $2 an oyster was a great deal. Pricey menu but well worth it. Our servers were also out of this world.

1st time visiting and I am in love with this place! We sat outside and the service was superb. Our waiter was friendly and knowledgeable. Even the chef came out to greet us and ask about our experience. Now to the food! Amazing!! Tasty and fresh. We tried about 6 different things and I wanted to try more. Lastly, the drinks. Be sure to get one. Nice and strong :)

My daughter and I had a great experience here. We had oyster varieties raw and grilled. We had the medium crab claws, lobster roll and fries. Our waiter did a wonderful job taking care of us.
