For a busy seafood place they were very efficient. There is a wait if course (made fresh) but it's not very long. They made a small mistake with my order and fixed it quickly with no problems. The staff was really cool. I can see myself frequenting this place. The fried conch and steamed shrimp was my favorite. The conch salad was OK. The Blueberry juice was sweet but tasty (addictive).

I ordered from here and let me tell you just from the smell of the food I knew it was going to be amazing! Everything tasted so good! The only thing I wish they added was some dipping sauce for the shrimp and crab. I can't wait to order from here again!

Weekends are a bit busy, so be prepared to wait. However, it's definitely worth the wait. I ordered just side pots and were amazed. Potatoes, corn, sausage, and eggs were so delicious. I also enjoyed jumbo shrimp because guess what, that's all they serve. Lucky me. Succulent crab legs and juicy wings. Everything is great, and you can specialize your sauce. Don't forget to try the drink drinks .

Sister Sara's Crab House in Fort Lauderdale is the kind of spot that foodies dream about discovering. As someone who’s serious about seeking out the best culinary experiences, I’ve had my eyes on this place for a while. But what really sold me was seeing Wendy Williams—an icon I’ve admired since growing up in New York—drop by for a bite. When I saw that, I knew it had to be something special, and my two visits so far have exceeded every expectation. On both occasions, I came with the intent of trying their famous grilled oysters , but fate had other plans. The first time, they were starting the grilling later in the day, and the second time, they were grilling in Miami. No worries, though—this gave me a chance to explore some of their other dishes, and wow, did they deliver! On my first visit, I ordered the fried shrimp and wing combo, and let me tell you, those shrimp were *unbelievable*! Perfectly seasoned, crispy, and bursting with flavor. I’ve never had fried shrimp this good—seriously, a game-changer. The wings were great too, but the shrimp stole the show. On my second visit, I went all out with the crab and shrimp tub, loaded with sausage, potatoes, and corn, and topped it off with their garlic butter sauce. My son was with me, and we both agreed—this was the **best** crab boil we’ve ever had. The flavors were absolutely divine, setting a new standard for seafood boils. Now, let’s talk about the ambiance. Sister Sara’s isn’t a fancy, high-end restaurant—it’s unassuming, and that’s part of its charm. As a Bronx, New York native, I’ve learned over the years that the best food often comes from places you’d never expect. Hidden gems like this are what make exploring local food scenes so exciting, and we are lucky to have a spot like this in Fort Lauderdale. Beyond the phenomenal food, Sister Sara's Crab House is a Black-owned business, and supporting local businesses is something I’m truly passionate about. I’m already planning my next visit, where I’ll definitely reorder the incredible crab boil and, hopefully, the third time will be the charm for those famous grilled oysters. If you’re a foodie like me, trust me—this is one spot you don’t want to miss.

Saw this spot online decides to try & definitely was not disappointed...food was fresh, well seasoned & had all the right flavors..My favorite was the shrimp & fries that honey hot sauce is one of the best! Crabs were good , only thing I didn't care for was the sausage( perfer mine cut up in small pieces lol ) ... Customer service could be better & more polite but Food made up for it.

This was an absolutely amazing experience from the service to the food to the drinks. Ms Tina and KK were both delightful and so very welcoming. As soon as we walked in we were greeted with smiles and the food was soooo good.

The food was fresh and hot. I order a cluster steamed and fried lobster tail. The batter was light and crispy. I also order an order of conch and small order of fried shrimp. Everything was so good.
