Dave’s Last Resort & Raw Bar

Love visiting Dave’s when I am in the area!!! Great food and drinks!!! Service is a little slow but everything else is great

Came here the other night with my boyfriend and our 2 friends. The service was extreamly slow (and they weren’t very busy), the windows were all open so the resturant was really hot and uncomfortable, and the food wasn’t very good. By the time our food was ready I didn’t even want it anymore. I got the taco salad and it was bland and soggy. At one point I even had to ask someone to grab our server for us because she disapered for so long. Won’t be back.

I would like to start by saying our server was fantastic. Ryan was prompt, he made great suggestions and as an ex-​server, I appreciated his interactions with us. Ryan does a mean version of a Floridian inviting someone to «try some Gator tail.»
Dave’s last resort is known for their Raw Oyster Bar and their Conch Salad. We went left and got burgers. My guest purchased a Margarita.
I myself purchased The Hangover Burger, a ½ pound burger with sautéed onion, peanut butter and lettuce on ciabatta bread. It was amazing. My guest got The California Burger which had Avocado and Sprouts. According to her, it was good. Not amazing, but good. Points for presentation though.
The Margarita was in both our opinion a bit cheap. It definitely treated like a weak mix but then again it was a plain old Rita, so… we’ll let that one go.
Dave’s Last Resort is a nice local treasure with some pretty good eats. 5 stars, I want to see what else they have. Their menu is huge.

Enjoyed my meal at Dave’s. My husband and I are in FL for vacation and found this nice bar on the corner of the strip. The waitress, Dee was very polite and prompt. The food was ⁸⁄₁₀ & the ambience is friendly. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone look for good eats and very nice staff.

I love Dave’s, I’ve been going for years… love their fish dip and wraps plus happy hour is spectacular darling! Sheryl was a wonderful server & it’s always a great time woohoo! Get your seafood on!

In Lake Worth visiting family for a week, my partner and I went here for dinner twice. The food was really good (especially the seafood dip and a seafood pasta dish that I can’t recall the name of), the atmosphere was fun and the servers were incredibly friendly! The one disappointment was the Piña colada… I was on a mission to find a good frozen drink while we were in town and it just never happened. They did, at least, have them and they weren’t bad… just weak and bland. We really liked the indoor yet open seating option… a tall table against a large open window… a nice mix of indoor and outdoor on beautiful spring nights. (There is also indoor and sidewalk seating.) I’d definitely go back if I’m in town again!

ordered a chicken quesadilla and fries. fries were hot and coated in that coating which gives them that crust that pops when you bite into them. definitely not fresh. chicken in the quesadilla was diced, probably so bought, and when microwaved was rubbery and unedible. I sent back it for a simple burger, ordered medium rare to medium. it had good flavor but arrived rare to raw. iced tea was fresh and the bartenders gracious. can’t say the same for the food quality.

Wings were great and very nice service, had large tv’s above the bar for easy viewing

I like Daves, I really do. But it will never get more stars until the city rids itself of the vermin that approach the outside tables begging for money or to use a cell phone so they can run off with it.
Don’t even think about blaming it on the fact that the city passed a town ordinance that keeps them from the park adjacent to the city building, they’ve always walked Lake Ave begging.
This last weekend a guy was shot in the back next to Brogues for Christ sake!
The city management and the S.O. need to work together and get rid of the skank! This place has such potential and the lazy, drunken, dirt bags are impeding the progress!
Pay more, get more deputies and patrol on foot! Get the vermin out!
Update: I added another star, Dave is right its the city. I was just there last night and everything was great, Jessica is a great waitress. We sat inside.

Wish I could give them 0 stars I’m a veteran with a service dog they turned me away tonight because I’d rather have a dog than take narcotics this is a terrible spit in my face after my three tours in irag and my ptsd defenatly not going back

You wait for the waitress. You wait for a draft beer. You wait for flippin’ everything here. Food was good, the place was about half full and most tables had their food already at about 8:15 pm, so it wasn’t like they were super busy or about to close. The waitress would disappear and not be anywhere to be seen. I watched as the bartender would talk with people and clean some stuff and then almost as an afterthought, he would pour two beers. Then they would sit until the waitress re-​appeared and picked them up. Frustrating…

First time here. Although they were very busy our waitress and the manager were both very attentive checking on us often! Food was really good with some unique dishes to try! Will definitely go back!

Very good and very reasonable prices. I had the grouper and my server (Anna) added potatoes for me. It definitely was a good addition to the meal. Anna was very attentive and helpful. She had a good sense of humor too! When I asked if they could change the channel on the TV, the manager quickly came over and did it with a smile. Definitely would come back.

Dave’s is a great, local hangout in Downtown Lake Worth where you can enjoy some good grub and good times with friends. They always have a special on any given day whether it’s buffalo wings, oysters, other types of seafood, and more. At Dave’s, you can come as you are, enjoy their coconut shrimp, grilled worth wings in a number of different sauce styles, and a number of awesome sandwiches and dishes that will not leave you hungry.

Casual and fun place to meet at. The food was excellent. Was there with 8 people and the food we ordered was diverse and all agreed, excellent.
The service was even better… specifically Jordan. Our party wasn’t a party for her, however she handled everything with a smile and total ease. She made the experience that much better.
Would go back anytime.

Enjoyed New Year’s Eve here as their «Private Party» for the night, and it was well-​planned and well done ! (well, they did run out of Asparagus but offered a few vegetable subs) Instead of my usual and favorite meal there of ConchChowder and Blackened Mahi (or the Grouper), I chose the 6oz. Filet Mignon & Maine Lobster Tail. The Filet was perfectly grilled and the big Lobster tail succulent. A big salad preceded entrees and desert included as well. Generous portions gave us much to take back home. We enjoyed the evening and the meal. The waitresses did a very good job and the usual bartender did his fantastic great job as he always does! Back next time for the Blackened Fish sandwich (on a plate, hold the bread) and Conch Chowder !

I went there once before my last visit and was unimpressed by the hosed draft beer, yuck. I then only felt safe to have a bottled water. Regrettably, the food nor the service were not much better. The overall experience was not at all commiserate with the the total on the bill.
I decided to give them another chance (being the carnivore that I am) when I saw the $ 30 NY Strip on the menu. Again the service was wanting… I expected a better experience since I notified them at the door that I would be ordering the stake special– wrong. After being seated and waiting several minutes, I had to get up and ask for service. The teenage server had no idea what wine would be good with the $ 30 stake. I then cautioned on the requested medium rare temperature of the stake before she sundered off chewing her gum and disappeared. After waiting a while… remaining positive… I ordered an appetizer and a lackluster wine to fill the time. There was ample time to complete the appetizer… I ordered only as an afterthought… before the $ 30 medium rare stake arrived.
There is redemption for them yet… the $ 30 stake was an excellent medium rare (considering it should have been served a la cart) and very tender and tasty… earning them their 2 stars.
Spending what I did for one person, given the service from the hostess, servers, and brief conversation with the manager… this establishment does not deserve a $ 30 NY Strip on their menu– they can never do it justice.

Server Sheryl is short with us and unfriendly with her attitude and was often too busy to help. We do not get the feeling she cares about customers. I felt uncomfortable around her in general. Went outside to change tables and she left our food inside without asking if we wanted our food when we’d clearly moved. Clam chowder was thick, salty and unappealing but my friend liked it. The fish dip was delicious as was the calamari. Nicely fried. Would be ⁴⁄₅ if service didn’t suck. She didn’t check on us nearly enough. She also took our payment of cash without bringing back our change. We had to ask for it back, and it has taken over 20 minutes to receive it. We then learned she left early after being asked to give us our change. Manager delivered our change after we discussed with him further about the situation.

Great food and location off lake ave in lake worth… moderately priced– had their fajitas and shrimp sandwich… definitely worth trying if you’re in the area and looking for something moderately priced.

I’ve been to Dave’s more times that I can count and always had a great experience. I was there a few days ago and was so disappointed in the service and quality of food.
We sat outside and waited at least 10 minute for someone to even acknowledge us, and when someone finally did, we were told our server will be with us shortly. After waiting another 5 minutes she finally came. She took out order and everything seemed to be finally the service I remember. Our food arrived and the waitress refilled our drinks. We took the first bite of each of our meals and all looked at each other. It was if they forgot to season anything. The waitress never came to ask how our food was. After another 15 minutes she finally came by. At this time all of our drinks were empty and we were just ready to leave. We asked for refills and the check. 10 more minutes go by and still nothing. She walked by our table 4 times to help others. There were only 3 other groups sitting outside so it wasn’t as if she was really busy.
On her 5^th trip past out table she said «oops I forgot, I’ll be right back». 5 minutes later she brought the check with no refills. Knowing the slowness we all wish we had brought cash so we wouldn’t have to wait for her to process the card. She finally came to check us out, and this time we waited 7 minutes. (and we timed each activity just to see). She again walked past out table 3 times without bringing the receipt. Not knowing where my card was at this time I finally stopped her asking for the receipt so we can leave. 8 minutes later she brought the receipt and we left.
She saw that our meals were hardly touched and didn’t ask how it was or even if we wanted it to go. When she went to clear the table she stood on the other side of the table and reached her hand out and asked me to give her my plate, she couldn’t even walk around the table to do her job and clean the table.
I am usually a 20%-30% tipper but this time I just couldn’t see the value in her service, why should I reward bad service?
Will I go back? Maybe just because it’s been good before but I will probably leave if she is still there.
