Vedu’s Fish and Burger Shack

Foods okay. Service sucks. Half the seafood wasn’t available. Oh, and don’t forget to bring some paper towels with you to the bathroom.

Saw the sign on the boardwalk advertising poutine (with a big Canadian flag on it), so I naturally went in. I can never refuse poutine.
Let me tell you, it’s not poutine. Good fries, but a weird very liquid sauce, and the same shredded mexican cheese they sell at the supermarket. Stay away. The only good thing is that you don’t have to have a full order of it, you can pay a little extra and have it as a side with any fish/​sandwich on the menu. And actually, the fish tacos were quite good.
If you’re thinking of walking in for the poutine, move along. Otherwise, enjoy the great beach location.
Tip: The tables outside are extra sticky.
Tip 2: Tip is somehow already added to your bill at 18% I believe, even if there’s just two of you. Don’t tip twice!

Atmosphere looked ok so we stopped at Vedu for a bite. It was a mistake. It took over an hour to get our food (a burger, chicken sandwich and chicken tenders). Once we finally got our food, everything was overcooked and gross. The only good thing were $ 2.00 drafts.
PS. Tip may be included so beware.

The location is perfect to do some people watching on the Boardwalk. Service was fast and friendly. Great beer deals to salt away an afternoon ($ 2 Landsharks and $ 3 Domestic Bottles). The Fish Tacos were phenomenal!!! Enjoyed the Snapper Sandwich as well. Will come back every time we are in South Florida.

Kind and attentive service & cold cold beer.
We ordered the Peel & Eat Shrimp & the Soft Shell Crab Platter, 3 West Coast Soft Shell Crabs. They were out of the crabs so I opted for the much talked about Lobster Roll, it lived up to the Unilocalers Reviews, Thank you Unilocalers for steering me right.
I noticed on the Bill that they do add in a percentage of the total for Tip, I have no problem with this as long as i am aware of it, I threw a few more bucks on top to bring up the percentage, our server was fantastic.
Great food, drinks, service and perfect place for people watching, it’s no wonder that this place is Top 10 on Unilocal !

Great food, good beer for right on the boardwalk. Lots of fun. Snapper was tasty and the burger had a gourmet feel. Great exp. Bummer only cash accepted.

The location cannot be beat, right on the boardwalk. Great for people watching. And also? $ 2 Land Sharks all the time! The tiki theme is cute. The service has always been friendly.

This is a cute place right on the beach, the Fish & Chips was good, the Peel and eat shrimp and salad were good. Service was excellent and friendly. Very clean bathroom. Beer was really cold.

Good food. Right on the boardwalk. Great if you want to people watch and have a quick bite to eat. The food was average at best. The waitress was very nice, helpful and attentive. Not bad, not good, just average. The downside is they don’t take credit cards… Odd really. They say it’s to keep prices down but they were still expensive. Probably some other reason… Also, the gratuity is included in the check. So bring cash if you want to eat here!!!

This is a great spot for lunch. We had the lobster roll based on reviews on Unilocal and it didn’t disappoint. Very large pieces of lobster rolled into a soft bread. The fries were plain, but good, just add a touch of salt.
Things to consider, its on the beach, so be prepared to see whatever walks by. The gratuity is included. CASH ONLY!

Coming to Vedu’s, I noticed from the moment I walked up that this was not going to be a fine dining experience. Instead of napkins on the tables there were paper towels on dispensers and the tables were a bit sticky. I had read reviews on Unilocal,however, that the food was good, so I didn’t back out, and I’m glad I didn’t! I had the Black and Blue Snapper on a roll, which was pretty darn good. Added a tiny bit of tartar sauce and voila, I was a satisfied customer. My waitress was very sweet as well.

The lobster roll was awesome, the peel-​n-​eat shrimp were the stringiest I had in Florida and the fries were tasteless. The shrimp came with a stupendously good dipping sauce, but when I asked for a little more they wouldn’t give me any. I got some lame excuse instead.
Note to future restaurateurs: If someone asks for more sauce to cover something tasteless, you should give them some. I hardly ever feel like a restaurant fails to live up to its end of the dining experience, but this was just a blatant shortcoming.

Great location for people watching… food was fresh and delicious… service was pleasant. Over all great place for lunch.
We had the Peel and Eat Shrimp and the Lobster Salad Tacos… both so good they are all we could talk about for the rest of the day!

3 and a half stars if we could give it that rating. My shrimp sandwich was yummy. My boyfriend and his friend had the lobster roll … they were good but too small. The amount of meat was significant but given it was served in a hot dog bun it was not enough! Service was friendly but slow! The grilled fish tacos were tasty but taco sauce and/​or salsa would have been good. Tara had a burger which she liked a lot.
Nice spot on the boardwalk, great view but a little pricey for lunch.

Average overpriced food. Service good. Great location but would not go back to eat. fish tacos skimpy and Shrimp Po Boy nothing exceptional.

This place was pretty good. You seriously can’t beat it’s location. It’s right on the beach in Hollywood with a spectacular view of the ocean. It also is cute with its hut-​like vibe making you feel like you’re on an island or miles away from home (if you can really get yourself into it).
This place (obviously) serves seafood and burgers. I did not try the burgers but had the luxury of having a lobster roll. The lobster meat was very sweet and fresh and the sauce not overpowering, however I just wish the lobster roll were bigger and the bun lightly toasted and buttered… if not for those few minor things I would’ve been in lobster roll heaven.
All-​in-​all… a great, fun, place to go. The service is pretty good and the owner is nice enough to come greet you. I definitely want to go back and try more of the seafood. Hopefully it’s all just as fresh as the lobster! Yum :)
Btw– just a small warning… this place is cash only.

After you read this get in your car and go to Hollywood Beach and sit in the sun and go in the ocean for a few hours then go to Vedu’s and order a Lobster Roll and a cold beer sit outside and watch the view.
Oh also bring cash and alot of it.
That’s all i have to say, this place is that great.

Wow. We ate here randomly last night when strolling down the boardwalk, looking for a good, chill restaurant. The patio seating attracted us, and when the owner came out while we were looking at the public menu to announce in a very warm tone that it was $ 2 draft night, I was sold.
Service could not have been better. A++. These folks know how to take care of a customer and make them feel welcome.
We had a burger and blackened snapper. The burger was excellent, and the fries were amazing. The snapper was good, but a little overcooked on one side. It could have been that we were there at closing and they just didn’t give full attention to cooking it properly.
Gotcha: They only take cash, which I think is unusual this day and age for a restaurant like this. Another reviewer said there is an ATM on-​site, but we didn’t check. Also, menu is somewhat limited.
Bottom line: Good food, excellent service, great location, and reasonable prices (two meals, four beers, $ 39 with tip). Would definitely eat there again.

Not knowing where to go in this town tucked between Ft. Lauderdale and Miami, I relied on fellow Unilocalers for suggestions. And thank you Unilocalers! Vedu’s was a fantastic dining experience for me.
The man and the woman running the place were incredibly nice. Perhaps it wasn’t too busy when I went, so the service was also quick! I got the Italian-​herb seasoned haddock with fries, and both items were yummmmmmy!!! Haddock was seasoned and cooked perfectly. Got the tartar sauce to go with the fish but could easily eat it without any condiments. I’m surely glad that there weren’t more fries to that platter; otherwise, I would have pounded those fries like drinking water. The price is slightly steeper than I’d have liked ($ 20 for the fish and a soft drink), but for the friendliness, service, and food quality combined, it was totally worth it!
FYI, it’s cash only. There is an ATM, and Vedu’s would only waive the ATM fee if you ate more than $ 20 of food.

The location is great… right on the Hollywood Beach Broadwalk. They have this thatched tiki-​hut covered dining area that is great for people watching.
The menu basically consists of, you guessed it, fish and burgers. My favorite thing on the menu is the fish tacos… They are pretty delicious. Also worth checking out is the KeyLime Pie and the Lobster Roll.
The service is excellent… and the prices, although a bit on the upper end of what you’d expect to pay in the Broadwalk area, are still reasonable.
Definitely a keeper.
Just a note: Vedu’s (like most businesses on Hollywood Beach) is cash only. They do have an ATM on site, which is free to use if you are dining there (just let them know you used their ATM and they will credit the ATM service fee to your check).
