For many years we have always stayed at the Embassy Suites in Fort Lauderdale, FL. before embarking on Caribbean cruises with Holland America. One of the reason was Chuck's Steak House located directly across the street.

 

We received official notification from Chuck's that their SE 17th Street location had been sold and would close their doors on October 19th, 2013. :(

 

Has anyone stayed at the Embassy Suite recently, that can tell me who purchased the 17th Street Chuck's Steak House? Is there a replacement restaurant?

Well they still have a location on 50th street, not sure it is worth that kind of ride.

 

I am aware of the other location, but it has never received the good reviews as the SE 17th location had. It almost seemed like two different establishments/owners.

 

I was just wondering about any replace. The location was just so convenient, a quick walk across the street. Hopefully some who has recently stayed at the Embassy Suite will be able to shed some light on the matter. We will be back there in February - Just curious.

We stayed at the Embassy Suites in November -- it was all dark at that time.

We did not walk across the street to look to see if there were any signs.

 

Ditto, same as when we were there in early December. Actually our windows from ES faced Chucks steak house and it is just closed, no sign of any thing going on to replace it in the near future.

Do yourself a favor when staying at the Embassy Suites. Walk about 2 blocks to "Kellys Landing" and discover real lobster or one of their other fresh seafood offerings. I can get pretty decent steak on most cruise ships...but cannot get Maine Lobster or truly fresh seafood. And by the way, Kellys Landing also has world-class New England Clam Chowder and an amazing Seafood Chowder (only available on Fridays if you get there before they run out).

Ditto what Hank said! We eat at Kelly's every time we go to FLL. It's hard to beat 2 - 1# lobsters for $30. My husband was in heaven!

We get two one pound lobsters with cole slaw, french fries for $18.99......

They call it 'twin lobster specials' and some of our casual restaurants offer it especially in summer.

We don't order lobster outside of New England or Maritime Canada.

That's also a great price but being in New England you are much closer to the source.

Sail, you're making me so jealous, I want to move to Mass. If only the weather were better than here.

I prefer the Southport Oyster Bar which is also a couple of blocks from Embassy Suites to Kelly's. Southport Oyster Bar is an authentic Florida joint, not a New England import, and it is pretty good.

I live in Ft. Lauderdale and have to agree Southport is worth the walk, we eat there regularly. If you don't mind driving there is a great steakhouse called Tropical Acres on Griffin Rd. and for good seafood the Rustic Inn on Ravenswood can't be beat.

The Rustic Inn Crab place is great. I had dinner there when I stayed at the Homewood Suites in Dania Beach.
