Brunch: Bimini Boatyard

Bimini Boatyard Sunday Brunch, Weekly from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

At 12:30 p.m. on a recent Sunday afternoon, Matt and I checked out the moderately-priced Sunday buffet brunch at Bimini Boatyard. As knowledge of local brunch spots is a top priority for Intown, we made it an official Intown 411 Events Team date!! The cost is $32.95 per adult and $13.95 for kids between the ages of 5 and 12-years-old, which doesn't make Bimini's fixed-price brunch the cheapest in town, but it's also not one of those brunches that calls itself "brunch" when it's really just breakfast. 

This article explores only the restaurant's brunch, but Bimini Boatyard is a popular seafood and steak restaurant and happy hour location among Fort Lauderdale locals every day of the week. See Intown 411's Bimini Boatyard listing!

Sunday Brunch Bimini Boatyard Fort Lauderdale: For the breakfast part of brunch, Bimini serves up made-to-order omelets, eggs benedict, scrambled eggs, bacon and sausage as well as Bimini bread french toast and fresh fruit. The offerings were fresh and appetizing, but we were surprised that we couldn't find breakfast potatoes of any kind among the selections. Also, one alcoholic beverage -- mimosa or bloody mary -- is included with the brunch, which is excellent (and better than when brunches serve watered-down unlimited drinks), but we thought it strange that coffee was not included. These little issues were very easy to overlook once we started to explore the lunch offerings at Sunday Brunch Bimini Boatyard Fort Lauderdale. It's the seafood and the lunch food stations that really put the meal over the top. With snow crab, shrimp, oysters, made-to-order pasta, a large variety of salads, and a turkey and roast beef carving station, we decided that if the food was as good as it sounded, Sunday Brunch Bimini Boatyard Fort Lauderdale might just be the best value in town. We both ended the afternoon in the same way: with key lime pie tarts and different types of cheesecake from the dessert table. But, we started the meal with very different ideas in mind, as you can see below.

Matt's Brunch: Matt started off with eggs benedict, chicken breast, roast beef from the carving table, mozarella salad and two oysters. Matt's second round featured his favorite offering: a made-to-order omelet with spinach, sausage, red and green peppers and swiss cheese, which he said was "One of the better brunch omelets I've had."

Court's Brunch: I chose to emphasize breakfast on my first plate, which was filled with eggs benedict, scrambled eggs and plenty of bacon. I also tried the lox with capers and braved one oyster. I went heavy on the lox in the second round. The texture of the fish delighted me and the flavor, offset by the salty capers, was mild. That was my favorite item, but the bloody mary, I must say, was excellent as well. It wasn't a drinking day for me; but if it had been, I would have explored the make-your-own bloody mary bar.
