Shenanigans Eastside Pub

Always love this place. I get the house special grilled wings with Jerk sauce on the side with a large order of sweet potato fries. Staff is always friendly, good looking, and prompt. I live four hours away from here and stop in as often as I can.

Not bad it’s a divey bar /​restaurant. The food is as expected for a divey restaurant just ok nothing that made me jump for joy. Service at the bar was OK as well, I waited long just to get a beer sitting at the bar and refills I had to keep waiving the girl down.

Service is too slow. We had to go up to the service bar to pick up our own beverages. The food takes a long time to come out for just wings and French fries. We ate our wings and then the fried came out. Whoops someone forgot to order them!

RUDE, SARCASTIC, LIAR FOR A MANAGER
Ordered a burger Medium-​Rare; waitress CONFIRMED that was the least cooked they could do for burgers. Sent it back when it came Medium-​Well (barely pink.) Second burger came, again, barely pink. Asked to have it taken off bill. Manager came over and not only did he say my burger was absolutely Medium-​Rare but that it’s AGAINST FLORIDA LAW to serve ANY burger cooked less than Medium. He even went so far as saying he was «shocked his cooks even served it at that temperature.» I explained that I ONLY order Medium-​Rare burgers and that was the first time I had seen one without a warm red center. In fact, my burger was almost brown and barely pink in the center. He continued to ARGUE with me, MAKE FACES, and say his restaurant broke the law for me: «It’s actually against Florida law to cook burgers less than Medium but we do it for our customers;» he then proceeded to make the «shocked my cooks» statement. After over 10 years in the restaurant business, 4 of which were spent at BJ’s Brew House, a major burger and pizza chain, it was the first time I had heard of this law. The manager continued to talk down to me and make me feel like the biggest idiot in the world. After waiting another 15 minutes for the check AND making eye contact with my waitress, no one came back. She actually just walked back inside without saying anything. Besides, when we first got our food we had to get our own napkins and silverware and I had to ask twice for my burger toppings. The second time my burger came I had no pickles. It sounds petty but, when you’re spending money TO BE SERVED, you expect to AT LEAST get your pickles seeing as we got our napkins and silverware. Our waitress barely checked on us and I assure you, it was not busy. The proper solution for this manager would have been to offer something else, perhaps a turkey burger OR to explain, as he had mentioned during his attitude ridden rant, that his restaurant does not serve Medium-​Rare burgers. I called Shenanigans West as well as Shenanigans East (this restaurant) asking if Medium-​Rare burgers were served and the answer was YES. I even called Flanigans, a major Florida chain, and even they serve Medium-​Rare burgers. I am beyond infuriated and cannot wait to call tomorrow morning to speak with the GM about who they have running their evening shift. I WILL NEVER COME BACK over the pettiness and absolute BAD ATTITUDE this manager had– forget the inattentive waitress.
UPDATE: s/​w Fla Dept of Agriculture and Consumer Srvs & Fla Dept of Business (Hotels and Restaurants division) and neither had any record of such law. The Dept of Business put me in contact with a health inspector to confirm. But, seeing as the Fla statute does not state such a law, I will confirm this manager is a bold faced liar.

Right exactly 10 p. m I step in and kindly I ask for a brisket sandwich all the servers told me it is close right now!!! wtf !!! ??? You guys don’t have any idea about customer satisfaction. and one of the server is telling me (it is what it is) really if I am your manager you are out of work at that moment sucks customer service.

Went with a friend recently…
A good place to chill out … oh gosh is that a «cool» phrase anymore? Don’t care, it was. Had some time (and transport!) so that’s what we did.
Was lucky enough to get a table in the breezeway, in shade, on a beautiful breezy day. AC not necessary — just lovely. Great outside fans thank you!
Waitstaff knew their stuff about craft beer. Asked for my favorite styles and they knew immediately what to suggest. (Keep that generic pale stuff away, please.) Kudos of the best kind. And they have lots of «local» brews. More kudos.
Shared naked grilled wings with garlic sauce, a cheeseburger with mushrooms, and — heavenly joy — lovely, delicious, fried nuggets of creamed corn!!! Didn’t try their BBQ this visit but that side dish screams Authentic Southern. (Maybe comes with a cardiologist appointment too, but hey, fried creamed corn!!!)
Will be back to try the Q!
Thank you!

Ordered the St Louis rib/​brisket combo with corn on the cob and Cole slaw. Went inside but were told it was reserved for a private party so we sat outside to eat. That was the first mistake as we were hounded by swarms of flies. On to the food. Let’s go with the ok stuff first. Ribs were good but not hot, they were barely warm. Corn was good and grilled but I guess hard to screw up. Cole slaw was almost tasteless and watery. Biggest disappointment was the brisket. Very tough and rubbery. Guessing not cooked low and slow enough. Wondering does this place even have a smoker? Nice waitress at least.

My wife ask for well done steak, I am so sorry i didn’t take picture of what they put on our table, black burned steak, when we ask to return it because it was all burned both sides, the waiters told us we can’t we can only get a new one. we were two, and anyway we wait too long, there was no point. Never again!!!

10 minutes waited no one acknowledged we were even there.
…
No enough staff
…;…

Since Margaritaville wanted $ 17.00 to valet park we left and went to Shenanigans! FEEE PARKING! Service was good, food was good, don’t know why we don’t stop in more often!

What an awful experience!
I want to say first off say I’ve been dozens of times and the place usually treats me just right. The food is always great, especially the BBQ. I’ve been coming to this location for years but not anymore after the horrible treatment I received from one of the managers.
When a member of my party asked to change the television for a game outside in a completely empty section that we were the only ones in she flipped out. She said you don’t get to have all the t.v. channels you want. I told her it’s not necessary to be rude especially when this was a guest I had asked to join me at a favorite location of mine. She stopped me mid-​sentence to tell me that I was the rude one and screamed to my party, «there are plenty of other sports bars around here, go to one of them.»
We all have bad days but come on, you’re the manager on duty! We gladly paid for the food we ordered, gave a tip to a nice young girl whom none of this was her fault, and I said farewell to what was once a great local restaurant of mine.

I stopped by there yesterday for Lunch with my Business associates and the waitress was really nice and no issues with her at all but it took the kitchen way too long to get the food out and there was only 1 other table in the dining room area even tho there were several people in the bar area. The Burger I had was like dried out and overcooked, the fries were luke warm, my business associates fries were cold but her pulled pork was ok. My other business associates Fish and chips was greasy doughy and tasteless very bland. Due to having to get to an appointment which we were running late due to how long it took them to get the food out we did not say anything or complain. Needless to say we will not be returning there at all or even recommend the place to anyone.

I can’t say much. I always order the same «Tuscany Burger». It’s a burguers with fresh mozzarella, tomatoes and a balsamic Vinagrete. The place is a sport bar. It has 3 big areas, one with a big bar, and AC, other only with tables and the third it’s outside but under a roof.

We have been here on four separate occasions. Each time we waited a considerable amount of time to be waited on. The last time, we waited and waited and waited. We finally gave up and walked out. What a shame. We had servers walk by too. We won’t be back.
Update 8÷18÷15 Well we gave it another shot. Call us stupid I guess because we both wondered why we came back. The food was good. The service started out great but quickly declined. Trying to make eye contact with anyone, including our server or the manager was next to impossible. I literally had to wave my arms to get her attention. Sigh.
Now I’m receiving disturbing messages through the «compliments» section of Unilocal from one of the employees. Class act for sure. Luckily Unilocal has a block feature so they can stop threatening me. Nice.

Great neighborhood pub with ice cold beer and great service! the pizza is really good (ask for it crispy) burgers are the best in town and most of the staff are very friendly (not to mention pretty) I’m going to be a steady customer come football season– large HD TV’s all over the place!

Recently stopped by Shenanigans Eastside for a bite and a cocktail. As usual I totally enjoyed it. I’m partial to the burgers and to date have yet to be disappointed. My friend went for the dinner special fresh Mahi topped with shrimp, artichokes, roasted peppers and a lite wine sauce. He couldn’t stop talking about it. The fish is definitely fresh and is on the menu as well so you don’t have to worry if they have it not. The server told us it comes in everyday and they make their own smoked fish dip. We wanted wine so we asked for the list. Pleasantly surprised to see Kendall Jackson varieties for $ 25
and the other are great prices too! It’s a small list but it’s a sports bar so we were very happy.
Clean, pleasant servers, great prices GREAT PLACE! Best sports bar I’ve been. Can’t wait for football season. You know where i will be!

I really like it here. Is it 5-​star dining? No. But the food is damn good and you can’t beat the price! This is the place we come to when we want to chill out with a bucket of beers, eat delicious bar food and watch sports. They have just recently redone the outside deck area and it looks really nice. There are 3 distinctly separate areas to this place — outside patio, indoor bar, indoor dining area. I have never been in the indoor dining area, we always gravitate to the indoor bar area. There is a huge bar in the center of the room a long with lots of high top tables and a few low tables. Every inch of the walls are covered with TV showing whatever sport is on that day. Great atmosphere for groups.
The menu ranges from simple sandwiches, to bar fingers foods to PIZZA to BBQ. I have tried a little bit of everything and I have never been disappointed. The pizza is delicious, thin crust, wood fire oven. The wings are BOMB. I like all the flavors but their best ones in my opinion are the honey garlic grilled wings. Chicken philly sandwich is always a good choice as well.
I like the atmosphere and the staff is always very friendly — can be overwhelmed at times but never becomes a problem for me.
Love it! I am a regular!

BBQ here is great, pulled pork sandwich is amazing. Neat place to hang out with friends for drinks and get noisy. a lot of locals hang out here, older crowd.

So I’ve been coming to Shenanigans East and West for along time. Lately, the food at the East one In Dania Beach has steadily gone downhill. The pizza used to be great, this time it was a soggy, raw, half-​cooked mess. We complained, they took it back and brought us the same one but this time a soggy card board mess. Wouldn’t you think they would start over? My wrap was horrible. Too bad. The only thing that is good here is a burger and the booze. I keep trying, the manage even came up to us and said I was the only one that didn’t like the food. Apparently he doesn’t read the reviews here. I don’t think I will come back anymore. After coming here many years… its a shame.

I came here while visiting a good friend in Fort Lauderdale (I’m not too common with the area, but this place had been highly recommended by many of my Fort Lauderdale friends.) I was looking for a place with a fun atmosphere and great food at the same time, and I hit the bull’s eye! I’m not usually a wing person, but this place has won me over with their amazing chicken wings! Their selection of beer was great (AND CHEAP!!) and not to mention the server was quick and friendly. Definitely will be back during my next visit to Fort Lauderdale!

Shenanigans West Original Location 7÷11÷15 I-​95 & Sheridan St, across from TY Park —
Bloody Mary larger glass than east location excellent tasting — only $ 4.00 each. — dinner was or own wing sampler, qty 10 Italian Herb grilled w/​grilled onions, and 20 naked wings w/​sauce on side, spicy Thai & the chunky garlic sauce, came out in minutes by our waitress Sherri, some of the best wings — served w/​a nice amount of celery & blu cheese. Ordered slice of Key Lime pie good creamy w/​slight tartness. $ 52 plus tip — good value — Rating 9

We came here for Dinner & Drinks on Monday ⁵⁄₁₁. Being Bar people we Naturally sat at the Bar. We were greeted by Adrian the Bartender. She really made us feel special, from the huge welcome Smile, attentiveness, & knowledge of everything on the menu to making us a Great tasting Drink! We ABSOLUTELY Love Her!!! Our food order was the Swiss Burger «Suggested by Adrian» & the Cobb salad. The burger was made to perfection & the fries were crispy & fresh. The salad was large & Green & tasted yummy! Bravo shenanigans you & Adrian hit a home run with us & we have now found our new home away from home! Wish I could give more than 5 Stars!

I come here a couple times a month during my lunch break with a couple coworkers. This place has always hit the spot for all of us. A few of my favorites are the Gorgonzola burger, Gorgonzola steak sandwich (clearly I love Gorgonzola.), country fried chicken (served as a special only on Tuesdays, I believe), and the grilled Mahi sandwich. One of my coworkers always gets the wings, which are great in size! Also the wahoo fish dip is delicious and made in house (as stated on the menu and even on a sign inside).
Service is quick and efficient, also. We’ve never been late to get back to work from our hour lunch break. We also like to try and sneak in a drink or two (I promise we aren’t drivers or doctors about to go back to work to operate on your loved ones). They have great drink specials– happy hour all day, everyday. Their Cuervo margaritas are delicious! There must be a secret ingredient in theirs. never had one that has tasted so good!
All in all, this place is great whether you’re dropping in for a quick bite to eat or stopping by for some relaxation under the tiki bar and grabbing a few drinks. This place is a must try!

Wings were amazing. Brisket had no flavor. Make sure if you have an allergy to sea food you don’t get the fries as they tasted like fish. Drinks were pure booze and weren’t that great. Seat yourself as there are no signs that tell you what to do. Service is not that great. Actually that’s putting it nicely. Service his horrible and it’s impossible to get the waitresses attention.

We left home with the intentions of going to Flannigan’s and instead ended up at this establishment. We have eaten here once before for lunch and aside from remembering that the ribs were ok I don’t remember enough to review.
Tonight we arrived late after 10PM and seated ourselves. You have two choices really three the main bar the inside more quiet area and a nice patio. Was a little too cold for the patio. By the way there is a sign saying they like dogs but insurance won’t allow them on the patio unless they are service. What a shame for the pups.
So we sat in the more quiet inside area. You could here two different kinds of music and both were way too loud. The patio doors should be closed or they should play the same music because this was highly annoying. Not as annoying as the ridiculously drunk man next to us drinking tequila and cursing up a storm or the drunk people behind us arm wrestling and literally hanging from a pillar. Guess we were way too sober to enjoy this.
The service was ok (it was close to closing) and I guess the server was busy doing other work could have been better but was fair.
The clam chowder soup took forever and was warm not even close too hot.
The wings on the appetizer platter were probably the worst wings I have ever tasted anywhere. The inside was discolored and they were scrawny and meatless. Not sure if this is the same wings they serve alone or a different wing for the platter but do yourself a favor and skip this all together. The potatoes and mozzarella sticks in the platter were good.
Ordered a cheeseburger with bacon. The bun was one of the best tasting buns I have ever had and the burger was good. Fries were bland and the Macaroni salad was a pleasant and unexpected treat. The pickle was nice and the tomato and lettuce were fresh. Asked for mayo twice and was happy to see it was cold and in a bottle rather than in packets like some places.
We had cider for drinks and it was nice. (angry orchard).
We didn’t stick around for desert because the music and customers around us became overwhelming and ruined the experience.
Overall I would say that I wish we had gone to Flanigans you can’t compare the wings. This was an ok place but I can’t say I would ever go back.
Bathroom was pleasantly clean and new.

Came here for lunch. Seated immediately, waitress promptly came over and chit chatted while extracting my drink order. Her name was Jennifer.
There was BBQ. I have to try Baby-​Backed rib everywhere they offer it. I am a big critic of ill-​prepared BBQ but it was fabulous.
Ambiance was sports bar, waitresses do not wear skimpy outfits though (darn it).
Everything I tried was very well prepared.
Went again a few weeks later — took a group of guys I was golfing with not far from there. Jennifer was not there but the food was good that time too. The waitress was very nice as well but I did not catch the name.
When I walked in the first time, there was a tribe of Police Officers in there. those guys (and gals) know the best places to eat, trust me.
Service was spectacular, food was well-​prepared and I love sports bars.
Note: I was a regular a the one on Park road for years but the last time I was there the staff was indifferent and the food went downhill. I never went back.
This location is now my Shenanigans of choice from now on.

I went here with a few friends to watch the first Thursday night football of the 2014 season. Our waitress was great. Very friendly and attentive. It is a bit noisy but that was due more to the low ceilings with an over abundance of TV’s. The atmosphere is quite fitting but the food is mediocre at best.
I’m not sure why fresh prepared food is so hard to find in a sports bar but it seems to be elusive. Obviously frozen burgers and potato skins is what graced our table along with a house salad. It’s not that the burger was bad, it was more that there doesn’t seem to be the time put into serving the patrons a quality meal anymore.

I came here for the happy hour. $ 5 menu, burger for $ 5 it was a great deal… But all good things come to an end they no longer do the happy hour food menu :(
So based on the reviews I ordered the tossed wings and a pizza so I could bring food to work. Both were just ok, nothing spectacular for the price of $ 12 & &15 I expected something amazing no more happy hour menu so I prob won’t be back for a $ 10 burger I can go to Le Tub or Jimbos and enjoy a view vs a noisy bar crowd.

I recently held an event for the American Cancer Society Relay for life Dania Beach! I cant begin to tell you how great of an experience this was. The Owners, Cooks and entire Staff did an OUTSTANDING JOB! They OVER DELIVERED on FOOD, SERVICE and Experience! I will be a customer for life!
Thank you Pat and Christine!
