Mention Angus Beefeater Steakhouse to someone who knows it and you're likely to get an effusive recommendation! Angus Beefeater features authentic Argentine cuisine and utilizes the traditional Argentine method of grilling à la parrilla over oak wood and a bank of hot coals. This family owned restaurant has been in operation since the 1980s and has won many diners choice awards, including beast steaks in Hollywood! Click here for InTown’s listing of Angus Beefeater Steakhouse!
The appetizers at Angus Beefeater Steakhouse don't flirt with the trendy but go back to a more traditional (and more enjoyable) selection. The empanadas are a must. Our favorite is matambre de pollo, chicken rolled up around a filling of hardboiled eggs, ham and cheese, served sliced, with a cream sauve on the side. Do not forget to try their famous Chimichurri, served with every warm bread at every meal. Click here for InTown's Gallery of Angus Beefeater Steakhouse.
All of the beef served at Angus Beefeater Steakhouse is Angus, and even less expensive cuts, like the skirt steak, have a deep beefy flavor. Stretched out lengthwise to what looks like a foot, it is juicy and chewy, a steak with texture. And, for veggie lovers, try the spinach ravioli, we tried it with the cream sauce, which was amazing, but you have your choice from three different sauces.

15th Street Fisheries is located right by the 17thStreet Causeway and Port Everglades so you can see the most luxurious yachts, the Jungle Queen, and Tropical Sailing’s Spirit of Lauderdale pass by. 15th Street Fisheries is even a stop on the Water Taxi, so you can arrive here by car or boat. There's something for everyone on the menu, but I would personally recommend starting with the Peel and Eat Shrimp and the Caribbean Conch Salad. The crab cake sandwiches, coconut fried shrimp, and grilled skirt steaks are also very popular. At 15th Street Fisheries, you can also feed the tarpon on their dock.

Everyone remembers their first time. That magical moment when you get to watch your favorite artist perform or sports team play. Yes, that first time at a show is always the best (What did you think I meant?). In Fort Lauderdale, one of the most spacious venues to watch any show is at the Bank Atlantic Center in Sunrise. Unlike the others, parking is vast among this area and it will not take an hour wait just to reach the lot. Click Here for InTown’s Listing of Bank Atlantic Center.
Come watch the beloved Florida Panthers at the Bank Atlantic Center. Parking is free for hockey games so if you buy season passes, you will never have to worry about extra expenses (except food, of course). The food at the Bank Atlantic Center is just what we all need at a good sports game – snacks and beer! This is also the place to catch a great performance. There is a capacity of over 20,000 so seating is not a problem, which is great news for the those One Direction and Justin Bieber fanatics (plenty of room, ladies).
Believe it or not, the Bank Atlantic Center can be transformed into a romantic venue as well. Ask anyone who attended the John Legend and Sade concert (Lovers Rock). A week later, you may see the Bank Atlantic Center modified for the ultimate monster truck obstacle course for Monster Jam (Coming August 17-18, by the way). Check the events calendar and see what’s happening at the Bank Atlantic Center. There’s always something for everyone here. Click Here for Bank Atlantic Center’s website.
