Best Restaurants in Hollywood, Florida

Hollywood sits between Fort Lauderdale and Miami on South Florida’s Gold Coast — and the food reflects that position. Latin flavors, fresh seafood, and a Broadwalk dining scene that’s more local than touristy.

Broadwalk & Beach

GG’s Waterfront Bar & Grill — On the Intracoastal, not the ocean, but the waterfront setting is excellent. Stone crabs (seasonal), grouper, and tropical cocktails.

Le Tub (Hollywood) — A ramshackle waterfront dive bar on the Intracoastal that was named “America’s Best Burger” by GQ magazine. The burgers are massive and grilled over an open flame. The décor is toilets, bathtubs, and random junk turned into art. Cash only. An experience.

Best Restaurants in Miami Beach

Miami’s food scene is a collision of Cuban, Caribbean, Latin American, and contemporary American cuisines — all served with a side of ocean breeze and Art Deco glamour. The best eating spans South Beach, Wynwood, Little Havana, and the Design District.

South Beach Classics

Joe’s Stone Crab (South Beach) — Open since 1913. The stone crabs (season: October-May) are the draw — cracked, chilled, served with mustard sauce. No reservations for dinner — the line can be 2+ hours on weekends. The takeaway window is the local hack.
