I kept seeing Facebook advertisements for Tarks of Dania Beach that was promoting 1 pound of Alaskan Snow Crabs for $29.99 on Saturdays and Sundays. Therefore, knowing how much I LOVE Seafood, I absolutely had to add this to the SoFloDining list of places for us to visit. We arrived around 5 pm and the place was packed. All of the tables both inside and outside were completely full. We were going to leave and come back another day but Doris suggested that we sit in the car and wait for something to open up. Can you say, “Jackpot!” Within a few minutes, we saw a small group of people leaving. Quickly, we made our way inside to the counter and secured 2 seats near the register.
Our server, Daniella, has to be the multi-tasking Queen of Dania Beach! She was very friendly, very polite, and adept at answering the phone, taking orders, handling the takeout orders, serving and working the cash register effortlessly as she chatted up the guests sitting at the counter. She really does a phenomenal job! Kudos to you, Daniella! As soon as we sat down she offered us menus and took our beverage order. We both had the fresh-brewed Iced Tea which is served unsweetened (just like Doris prefers). We then ordered a half-pound of Steamed Shrimp with garlic butter and a pound of Steamed Alaskan Snow Crab Legs that come with Curley Fries and Cole Slaw.
The Curley Fries and Cole Slaw came out first and were crispy on the outside and delicious even without ketchup. The Steamed Shrimp were large and plentiful and tasted amazing. They were so fresh and full of flavor. The addition of the garlic butter was just a bonus. The Snow Crab Legs were also delicious and plentiful as well. For dessert, I really wanted to try the Key Lime Pie but had no room. We will have to save that for our next visit.
This place is incredible. It’s a No-Frills Seafood Shack that has been serving up fresh delicious seafood for an Amazing 50 Plus Years. Get ready to roll up your sleeves and get dirty. Oysters and Clams were continually being shucked right in front of us. The service is wonderful, and the food is delicious. There was a lot of food and we walked away full. Overall, it was a great experience and we will definitely be back to experience more goodies off the extensive menu. We noticed that many placed an order on the phone and came in to pick up their goodies “to go”.
Thank you , Danny! We are honored and thrilled to be reviewed by you! Thank you and see you again soon! PS: Tarks website is https://tarks.business.site (you put Tarks.com, that is incorrect).
