Riverside Market South in Fort Lauderdale - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

The burger was delicious and the service was great. Highly recommend.

great bar, cool atmosphere, no touristas, Laura the bartender is awesome. my new favorite place in Ft. Lauderdale

Awesome beer selection up front, bartender was great, she made solid recomendations all night long. Food was also great, way more creative than typical pub food and good flavor.

Great food, excellent service, loved it

Loved it! Food is excellent and beer too.

The young man behind the bar was aloof and disinterested. Answered our questions with one word answers. Couldn't have cared less if we were there or not. They carry lots of beer. Lots. Nothing else but one type of soda. One. No ice tea. No bottle water that I could find. Food was overpriced. A small sandwich $14. No side. We won't be back.

By far the rudest bartender/waitress/claimed owner I have ever witnessed on vacation ever!! My family and I were having a not so great day with this being our Christmas vacation and trying to get our elderly parents down here and canceled flights we tried to stop and get something to eat while trying to find them new flights the waitress came over and told me she would not listen to our phone conversation with the airline and need to make it more quiet or take it outside. Said it was her bar her rules and we could leave if we didn’t like them…. Well we left! Will never go back! What happened to true compassion and customer service?!

The wings were great the IPAs on tap delicious price was good and vibes were super fun. Laura was an excellent and informed service professional.

Tom's Louisiana Kitchen is a great addition to the business! His food is awesome! He is now there from Thursday to Sunday 12 to 7.

First time visiting the restaurant and it was great. Super conveniently placed next to the airport and prices are great! Food was awesome. I ordered a shrimp PO'boy and it was nice and freshly made. Service was awesome

Perfect divey atmosphere. Friendly bar staff. Good burgers.

Great atmosphere, service and food

The best hidden gem in Fort Lauderdale. One of the best beer selections I have seen in south Florida. I recommend the buffalo chicken dip and fish tacos.

Was very excited to try Riverside Market South tonight, August 18, 2023 @ 7:30p as it had a 4.5 star review! When we walked in, it was very hot and was told to seat ourselves. As our party of 8 sat down, the waitress came over and told us how the restaurant/bar worked, that the beer in the cooler was self serve, and that there was soda on tap, and also told us they were not able to cook pizza. As a party of 8, we only received 4 menus, that were on a piece of paper, that was rubbing off, and was not legible. When we were ready to order food, only four people got to order before the waitress walked away without saying anything. A few minutes later she came back and continued to take the rest of our party’s order. All but two of our party wanted water/soda, but was never asked for our order. After we ordered food, we asked the waitress for two cokes, she walked away before we could finish ordering drinks for the rest of the table. When she brought back the two cokes, I asked for two waters, and she stated “I’m not going to keep coming back for each person to order.” The way that we were talked to is not professional in any manner, let alone as a waitress. We ordered three different appetizers, two came out 30 minutes after we ordered, and our third came when our food came out. Only two of our party’s food came out first, 10 minutes went by before three more of our party’s food came out. Another 10 minutes went by before the rest of our party’s food came out. One person of our party ordered a HOT hoagie, it came out cold. The waitress stated that “the sandwich wouldn’t fit in the oven” and brought it out cold. Another person of our party ordered a HOT hoagie, with no tomato and no oil and vinegar. This hoagie also came out cold, due to the same “it won’t fit in the oven” reason, also with tomato’s and oil and vinegar on it. The waitress took it back to be remade, and brought it back. They brought back the hoagie, to what appears the tomato’s wiped off, and the oil and vinegar was still soaked into the bread and lettuce. Keep in mind, these two COLD hoagies were the last food to come out. We sat without refills on waters for over 15 minutes. The waitress then stated at the end our dinner, “We were about to close the kitchen down before you showed up,” and “we weren’t ready for a party of this size.” Mind you, it was a Friday night at 7:30p, and she took another food order of a different party after us. The food that we received correctly was okay, but the service is horrible. Also to add, it’s is very hot in the restaurant. I’m not sure if the AC isn’t working, or they just don’t have enough AC vents in the restaurant. It is almost unbearable to sit and eat food here. As a place where you serve yourself canned drinks, I am not sure why the waitress service is slow, and rude. Also to add, when we showed up, there was not many people in the bar/restaurant.

Always have a good time here. I'm usually here during lunch time. Staff is top knotch, my favorite food is the tuna melt, sometimes I get a burger. Just wish they had a fried egg burger. Beer selection is above and beyond.

Such a great, local, establishment! We love stopping in for a beer and their food is soooo good!

Amazing place for a casual bite and a large selection of beers. Ashton was great - amazing service! Thanks heaps.

The food is good and the bartender was nice when I first got there, but I had to wait for my brother after a flight, so I asked if I could hangout there for a while and at that point she began to be very rude, and eventually told me “it’s time to go, figure it out”. Which, it’s her business, she can ask me to leave and that’s fine, but the tone and phrasing was very rude. I was literally just sitting in the corner doing nothing, so I’d say it’s not unreasonable to just let me wait 🤷‍♂️

Great spot to stop before bringing the rental car back to the airport

Great fish tacos and Laura was very sweet and welcoming.

Great ambiance! Self serve, food was delicious.

Self-serve beer coolers and very affordable small bites! Great pit stop to or from the airport.

Super chill spot to grab a beer and a bite to eat. Went here with the family and had their buffalo dip, hot chicks (chickpeas), and a pepperoni pizza. Great food and atmosphere.

Stopped by here on our way to the port. Food was delicious and very reasonably priced. They had a free old school pac man arcade which kept our two kids entertained. We had the blue burger, margarita pizza, and bbq wings. All was great. Wings were crispy and my favorite!

Stopped here before the flight amazing food and a great vibe and good alcohol/beer selection 10/10 will come here again

Excellent place to hang out for food and beers.

Small restaurant and dive bar feel, owner was nice and very small-dog friendly, food was cheap and they have a large self-serve beer selection that’s pretty sweet.

Best place we visited since in fort Lauderdale very chill atmosphere awesome beer and brewery. Sandwiches are amazing prices are reasonable. Location is unique and caters to the hard working community. Would highly recommend to make the drive here regardless of where you're staying this is just a very chill place.

Found this pub near the airport. All the food was amazing and the staff was really helpful and friendly. Blackened fish tacos, pizza, fresh cut fries, Reuben ❤️

Great food and great service! Ashton made us feel right at home after traveling far from home.!

Place was empty and cold. The girl restricted us to two samples and gave us attitude. All the beer taps were empty. Wouldn’t come back.

Due to flight changes, we stumbled upon this place. Shelby-the bartender-was amazing, welcoming all of us and our luggage and making us comfortable for several hours. Beer selection was also g and fish tacos were great!

We had an unexpected layover and were looking for a place to pass a few hours. We weren’t disappointed with our choice! Great beer, good food, and kind and welcome staff, even with our bags of luggage!

Needs a little more atmosphere.

Acertamos con todo!! Sandwich de pastrami espectacular y si te gusta la cerveza de presión es tu sitio!!

Funky little place. Our server was attentive. Suggested a beer for us that we enjoyed and the food was good!

Very bad taste I don’t like I can’t come again in this place

Place looks like a dive, but the beer and food were great! Atmosphere is awesome as well. Good tunes, music and food.

Great place to grab a beer and chat.

I ordered the fried Mahi tacos-very good. Usually restaurants don't season the fish, but these were. Hubby had the pulled pork-said it was really good. Gabriel was the only waiter but he seemed to be attentive to everyone. The bathrooms were clean with no odor-very important.

Food always great, and cold beers

Great place. The bartenter was really nice. And quite knowledgeable in beer choices. Thanks to the Pub Pass for another great choice of venue!

I used to like to stop for beers but an 89 deg bar doesn't cut it. FIX THE AIRCO!!!

Love this place. The food is great and the server, Gabe is awesome! I will definitely be going back

Funky place, great selection of beers.

When they say never judge a book by its cover..I really enjoyed the food a had a shrimp Poe boy and buffalo shrimp. When I say the shrimp was perfectly made bread was soft definitely a hidden gem!!!

Not sure if a rating is appropriate for this location. An interesting concept to "serve yourself". You have to go to the refrigerator to get your own beer. A wide variety of craft beer; unfortunately, they were not cold or cool. Fresh is the word that comes to mind to describe the temperature. The location looked like an abandoned/forgotten place inside. It was almost as hot inside as it was outside 90 F. The food... wings were undercooked, in their attempt to correct it, they overcooked them; therefore, tasted burnt, the wing sauce was less than flavorful, no carrots or celery. Burger was thick and the vegetables were fresh, but it is difficult to describe the experience with any other word than "preserved". The "waiter" really made an effort to do the best he could, but there was only 1 silverware, no napkins, salt or pepper, dressings (ketchup, mustard, etc.), or what normally would be on the table to be a part of the meal. We can't say for sure if that's the restaurant's practice or he simply didn't have any concept of what should be on the table. Sincerely hope they get it together

Étonnant comme endroit. Dans un quartier industriel. Très bon choix de bières en fut. Et grand choix dans les frigos. Musique alternatives et rock classique. la serveuse connait bien les produits et faisait de bonnes recommandations. Tout a fait notre style de resto.

Stopped in earlier today with my 12 year old son. I drive an 18 wheeler and broke down early in the morning. This place was near the dealership, so we got a ride and hung out until my wife could get there to pick us up from Jacksonville. We were hot, exhausted, and starving. This place was just what we needed to recharge and get out of the heat. The food was good and reasonably priced. The service and atmosphere was great. Thank yall so much for treating me and my son so well. If I'm ever down in the area again I will take you up on you offer to stop-in.

We saw the great reviews and took a cab from the airport with our two kids to get food on our 3 hr layover (after delay in customs). Arrived at 625 only to be told “kitchen’s closed” (restaurant hours state they are open until 7pm)- nothing within walking distance; very disappointing experience.

Great beer selection. Nice menu. Very close to Ft Lauderdale airport (FLL). Why spend $12 for a bottle of Bud Light inside FLL when you can get a great craft beer for much less. Food is a much better deal too. We go there before and after going to FLL.

Nice quiet spot to enjoy a wide variety of beers.

Great variety of beers with friendly service. However, the bar is starting to show its age. Damaged and unusable tables outside made this spot a one beer and run. Some fresh love would turn this spot around.

Very cool little local place with great food and good beer. Bartender was great, as well as the owner. Went here on back to back days for lunch. The Black and Bleu burger was awesome, the appetizers were delicious, too. Had the buffalo chicken dip, jalapeno poppers, pickles, and shrimp. All excellent. Second day I had the wings in Carolina Gold sauce and bleu cheese. Again, amazing!

Great for a quick k sandwich and 15 craft beers

Tried to come here a couple of weeks ago and were turned away at 10 because they were closed. Just called tonight and a female told us they are already closed. Chris would always be open for us. Not sure what has changed, but this is upsetting.. Edit- Thank you for the "owner's response". It would be helpful to adjust your hours on Google, or at least stay open for the hours to have the option for business. Not necessary to tell customers to make offers on the business, but thanks for letting me know it's for sale.

Shelby was amazing! Very attentive and courteous! Highly recommend!

Great beer selection to match whatever mood you are in. In addition the garlic hummus is some of the best hummus we have ever had.

Really brings a craft beer / dive bar vibe to Florida 10/10

If you love beer and excellent food, you will love Riverside Market.

Good pub food. Wide selection of brews.

We loved this place! A perfect stop after a long night of traveling; we found good drafts and tasty eats. The best part however, was the bartender who took great care of us and was fun to chat up.

Amazing restaurant/bar me and my entire family loved it. I will say my mother was with us, and she has to be one of the pickiest people in the world and I gotta say even she was amazed. We came from San Diego for vacation and had the pleasure to meet John. Amazing service, if im ever around the area again I will definitely stop by to have a beer. John gave me and my family amazing recommendations and we left with one of the greatest experiences. Thank you very much John.

Uno de los mejores lugares para darse una cerveza de calidad. Para los amantes de cervezas exóticas este es el lugar. Buena atención y comida.

Great place to discover a huge variety of drinks. A different type of place, but nice.

Blackened mahi tacos and wings are fantastic, and you can choose your beer from one of the many fridges. I loved seeing the can and description!

Great pizza, chilled comfy vibes. I loved this place and I'm keen tk go back.

Food was great, beer was great! My only issue was that I wanted to order at least 2 more draft beers during our meal, and even sitting at the bar I struggled to get the bartenders attention, other than that awesome place!

A little off the beaten path but has great beer and even better food.

Great local spot in ft Lauderdale, chill environment and many options for beer.

It's was nice I Have two be honest I didn't Go there to drink I was renting a car down the street and stop by for a quick bite. So I know if I would have had a beer And took the bartender up on his offer when He ask Me probably would have had great time but I was on my way to work Gay Right who doesn't have a beer before work. I I ordered a burger and a piece wings and my mom ordered the shellfish crab cakes I think that's what it was anyways she enjoy them and I enjoyed the wings and the burger small place but great vibes. I didn't get the bartender's name but he was a gentleman you could sell he had that southern hospitality.

Craft beers, tasty fries and close to the airport make this a great quick bite before heading out of FLL, or after returning your car and heading back to the airport.

A special hole in the wall, Riverside is like a man cave bar & grill. As far as FTL goes, it's off the beaten path. You'll never guess it's there. Google it. It's very small & eclectically adorned. Decent parking for the small foot print. Simple menu takes guess work out. Must try their pizzas. Nice place, good food, down to earth services make a good place to take a load off, connect to the world, while sipping nice cold beer. Sadly the facility is in disrepair, and a truncated menu. The beers on the other hand atr still plentifull.

Just a little place with a lot in it. Has a menu with fresh choices on it and the one person that was running the front end was doing a fantastic job. The food was really good with reasonable prices. Was really cool they had too big coolers you could go to and just grab whatever beer or drink you wanted and they just put it on your bill.

Jonathan is a great host and Bartender. Stood by here while waiting on airport shuttle. Ordered the Mahi-Mahi Tacos and kids bacon enhanced grilled cheese. Such a great and hidden gem. I highly recommend this Beer garden.

Great food. Fun games. Drinks galore! Definitely stop by if you have the chance.

Chill vibes. Self serve coolers and plenty of drafts

Always a fun time. Staff is super helpful & knowledgeable. Lucho always makes sure the food is fresh & on point!

Super buena atención. Rica pizza, gracias por todo. Bellas personas

Great local spot. Found it by luck. Food was amazingly good and huge craft beer selection. They have games and plenty of TV.

Amazing burgers & Friendly Service!!!! Will be back again!

Great local bar with delicious food too😋. My brothers and I stopped in here right after landing in Florida. We ordered the caprese sandwich, pizza, nachos, chicken salad as well as the hot chicks. I appreciated their friendly service and good food 😊 I will definitely recommend this place to others.

Great tacos and burgers. Large selection of craft beer on tap and in the coolers.

Was used to the other location which i love this one is simply on a smaller scale but awesome vibe as well. Annnnd the pizza. Damn that pizza. Bar tender is super cool ended up chatting about air planes and stuff. Pretty low key on Thursday and that was ideal for me.

Relaxed atmosphere, nibbles are good. Beer selection is always great. Try anything they have on nitro.... omg

Super chill and low key spot if you wanna grab a drink (literally) with your coworkers or friends. Super quaint and cute spot and food is good. Go check them out!

What a great place to unwind with friends. The beer selection is top notch and the food is basic but unpretentious and most importantly delicious! Great stop don't miss it.

Very cool South Florida dive bar for those that appreciate craft beer!!

Always a good meal and great selection of drafts.

Good vibe..fish tacos are a must try

This is a great restaurant. Fish tacos and pastrami sandwich were delicious. Huge beer selection, too. Stopped in after landing at the Ft. Lauderdale airport. Would recommend!

Great beer. Weren't following Covid guidelines (for example.. staff wearing masks or face coverings) . Would have rated it higher

Great food, beer selection and service.

One of my favorite places to go. Food is always great and the beer selection is on point! Must visit bar for sure

People were nice. $2US per hair with umbrella I believe. Grand Cayman is beautiful will be back.

Fantastic! Came here with a big group when we had a flight several hours later. Great beers and cidars, great grilled cheese, great chickpea appetizer, great atmosphere. If I lived here I'd come all the time!

Great place to go before or after your flight!

We went straight from the cruise ship, opened the place at 10 am Sunday. Great beer selection, hummus was amazing, and the service was awesome! Great conversation with the locals, will go back again! Just a few minutes from the airport.

Gran local pasar el rato en el aeropuerto FLL! Buena comida y excelente selección de cerveza. Servicio amable y divertido. Es un gran lugar para detenerse antes de dirigirse al aeropuerto para disfrutar de una buena comida con una excelente cerveza.
