Quarterdeck Restaurants, Seafood restaurant in Dania Beach, Florida.
Quarterdeck Restaurants is a seafood restaurant in Dania Beach, Florida, serving fresh fish, shellfish, and American comfort food side by side. It sits along North Beach Road, close to the waterfront.
The restaurant was founded in 1966 by Joe Flanigan in Fort Lauderdale as a modest spot for food and drinks. Over time it shifted its focus toward seafood and moved to its current location in Dania Beach.
The name Quarterdeck refers to the rear deck of a ship, traditionally reserved for officers and navigation. This connection to the sea fits naturally with a waterfront location where fish and shellfish are at the center of the menu.
The restaurant is open most days of the week, with longer hours on weekends than on weekdays. Arriving early in the evening can help you find a seat more easily, as it draws a steady local crowd.
Every Wednesday the restaurant runs a Wing Night that has become a fixed point in the week for many regulars. Weekend evenings also feature recurring special events that bring together locals who come back time and again.
