Oakland Park, Florida

Broward County · 219 restaurants

Oakland Park sits just north of Fort Lauderdale, and its 210+ restaurants increasingly cluster along the revitalized Culture and Entertainment District on Dixie Highway, where breweries and independent restaurants have moved into a formerly industrial stretch of the city. The Middle River runs through town, and a diverse, largely working- and middle-class Broward County population supports a food scene heavy on Caribbean, Latin American, and Asian kitchens. Oakland Park has increasingly positioned itself as a more affordable, less polished alternative to its trendier Fort Lauderdale and Wilton Manors neighbors.
