I have been going to this place for almost 20 years and it’s the same as I remember. Excellent Excellent Excellent. It’s busy but worth the wait. I am not longer a FL resident but every time I have a layover or I’m
In town this is the 1st place I want to go to. Beachy vibes, super relaxed, love the fact that is true to itself, never changes, so authentic, reasonably priced, and the food outstanding. I love � this place. If it’s packed means is good �

Great little dive. Yummy fresh seafood. Fun watching them shucking oysters right at the counter.
The best food in town by far !!! Highly recommend
This is our go to place for good seafood! It is simply the best...cooked right in front of you!
And the price is reasonable. Go see what you have been missing 😎
Best social local spot... Phone calls may be a hassle due to the abundance of costumers that are in house.. food is great .best place I've been too..
It really is a great joint with excellent seafood for a great price. Place works like a well oiled machine
I eat here all the time...unique comunical attmouspher...the absolute best Dolphin Sandwich I have ever had eaten.
Best place for conch salad & seafood period. Always rated over some well known high-dollar restaurants.
We wanted a spot with a ‘locals only’ vibe and we found it at Tarks!!! The wings are as advertised!! Delicious, juicy, wet and have the perfect level of crisp. The surf and surf featured the best blackened grouper I’ve ever eaten. Also had an oysters and let me tell you they were on point!!! Curly French fries and sweet tea were also great! Atmosphere you have counter seating inside and some tables outside. We sat outside and you get some of the horns honking and revving engines expected on a beach strip, it’s a vibe! Staff are super friendly and efficient. If you sit outside you have to go in to order and they bring it out to you. I’m telling you this was the best food we ate all week! Had to pick up a couple t-shirts for the road because we loved the place. Definitely give this place a visit, you won’t be disappointed. They e been around for over 50 years for a reason. Cheers!!!
Tarks is one of the best hidden gems in all of this side of Florida. Small, no frills, hole in the wall spot. They focus on good food not knickknacks and distractions. Food has always been fresh and on point. Today I ordered Gator bites, 2 oyster shooters, and a blackened mahi sandwich with an Amber beer. AMAZING! So sat at outside table, looked at the menu, went inside to order, they brought out the food, and cleaned it up when I was done. I had a moment of just pure contentment with my decision to eat here for lunch today. Don't miss this spot if you are around here. Good job guys, keep up the good work!
Amazing food... Even more amazing service.
No matter how many times you have been there... It feels like family (the good kind LOL)
TOP FAVORITE PLACE in South Florida.
Overall stellar!
This was by far one of the best priced seafood we ate. It was delicious, really enjoyed the mom & pop atmosphere. It's basically like a deli, but with seafood. There wasn't a long wait on food. I had the fried shrimp + garlic and the crab legs, both were excellent.
Great rustic place, the service was very good... good quality to price ratio, good crocodile bites calamari were so so but overall recommended... and very cold beer !!! Don't hesitate to visit next time.
The food was amazing! I had a blackened dolphin sandwich as my main. I also had the gator bites that were very delicious and as my dessert I had a key lime pie! The food was amazing! Wasn't to expensive and really enjoyed the place! Highly recommend it to everyone that has the opportunity to go!
Local mom and pop shop!
Excellent food!
Reasonable prices!
Friendly staff!
Obviously, a local favorite! Definitely highly recommend this place, sad that my stay was too short to visit again
Great food! Great service! The place is tiny-sat at the counter and watched my food being cooked. The fried shrimp was delicious. Fries were hot and tasty. The pitcher of sweet tea was refilled as we sat and talked through our meal. The woman behind the counter was friendly and attentive. Tarks is a great find and I plan to visit again.
Great vibes, great people, and even better food! The grouper fried or grilled was to die for. The tartar sauce is delicious. Some of the best gator I've ever had. Fantastic after a long flight.
Our family loved this place! It’s a total vibe with great food! We had the raw oysters, clam chowders (New England and Manhattan style, steamed shrimp, and fried seafood plate. All was delicious and reasonably priced. Everyone was super friendly! We may have to go back even though we are only here for the weekend.
Amazing, never stops to deliver the same quality.
Highly recommended. The conch salad and oysters are a must.
I was there in 2019. A bit of late review, but after checking my google story I decided to drop a review. This place is just absolutely awesome, the food is so good and quite affordable. Don't let yourself be discourage for the look and the crowd. I went twice and my wife and I were the only "touristy" looking people. Everyone else was hard working locals. Still, it delivered some sort of familiar feeling. Make sure to try the oysters and the chicken wing. Best ever. I hope we manage to go back to the US for more of Tarks.
It was an amazing experience dining here. Everyone was super friendly and happy and the restaurant had a great vibe. If you are looking for some fresh seafood in a casual dining setting, you should definitely check this one out. The prices are very reasonable. Highly recommend!!
Everything was sooo good. I had oysters, shrimp and wings. The oysters and shrimp are top tier and the service was great. 10/10 would recommend.
I would give five stars for the excellent food and amazing service! The place could be a little cleaner though. If they could focus on that then this place would be the best around! They did an amazing job with their seafood and the flavor. The waitress was also excellent in making sure we were taken care of even though the place was PACKED! It would be better if they had a bigger restaurant and kept it cleaner, that was the only thing that kept me from putting the full 5 stars.
