  Man of My Word, 5 Stars W…. Man of My Word, 5 StarsWell I didn’t have the fish and chips at the Sunrise location, but I had them here. They are outstanding! I stopped by here after going to the Pompano Seafood Festival. Yeah I know that statement alone sounds crazy but the food was way too expensive there. So here I came. FoodJust to make sure the recipes were are par with the Sunrise location, we ordered the spicy fried mushrooms. Bingo! They are exactly prepared like the ones in Sunrise. Hand battered, fresh mushrooms, not that Sysco stuff. By far the best fried mushrooms in Broward. So far so good:) I had to order the fish and chips. I was starving and I’ve been wanting to try their version for years now. So out it comes nice Haddock filet NOT that crappy Basa fish that a lot of restaurants serve to save money. Shame on any restaurant that serves that Vietnamese farm raised crap. Sorry about that Had to get that off my chest. It was nicely fried and not oily at all. A sprinkle of malt vinegar on top and a rip off a piece with my hands and place some tarter sauce on top. F’ing outstanding! I’ve had fish and chips in London, Epcot England, and the old Rose and Crown in west Fort Lauderdale and this one ranks right up there with all three of those places. The ying to this yang is the fries. The fish can be great but if the fries suck it throws off the entire dish. I’m happy to report that these fries were the perfect compliment to the fish. The skins of the potato were left on and it looked like they were hand cut. The best fries/chips in Broward are at Waxys O’Connors in east Ft. Lauderdale. These are just as good.AmbianceThere isn’t much to this restaurant. The place is very clean. Does it look like an authentic English Pub…..no. I say that because I’ve been to London, Bath, Leister, and Stratford. Does it look like and American version of an English Pub, yes. Dark woods, Guinness Beer paraphernalia, the Union Jack, an area for one dart board, and a bar. Oh yes and soccer on the TVs. You can’t replicate a true English Pub in a strip mall. As for anyone who has never been to England but to other English pubs in America this has the vibe of one. I will tell you this, as I was sitting inside, I was thinking why the hell don’t they open one of these in Coral Springs (where I live). We need one of these in my town. Verdict I’m a huge fan. Issues that define a great English Pub; awesome food, beer and friendly service. This joint has all three. I don’t need anyone with an English accent tell me this place is solid. I know it is. Remember to tell them Dan sent you and Stay Hungry!
