Restaurants near the Deerfield Beach pier

The City’s pier page lists a bait shop at the pier entrance, run as the pier concession, that sells drinks and chips along with bait and tackle. It lists no restaurant. For a meal, you walk to a restaurant on its own address nearby. The cards below list each place with its address and the hours it posts, as we read them on the dates shown. Restaurants change their hours often, so call or check the restaurant’s own site before you go.

Distances are straight-line figures from our places research, not walking routes.

Names you may see elsewhere

Older guides and map apps name other places around the pier. We list a restaurant only after reading its address and status on its own site. Our places research, checked Oct. 20, 2026, held back several names it could not confirm as open, and found that Deerfield Beach Cafe’s old space now holds The Break House. If a place you know is missing, tell us through the contact page and we will check it.

Timing a meal with the pier

The City’s pier page, checked Oct. 20, 2026, posts hours of 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. daily and says holidays may affect them. The same page adds: “As of October 20, 2026, we will be CLOSED SUNSET through SUNRISE until further notice, due to maintenance needs.” No end date is given. Call the pier at 954-250-4167 before an early or late visit. So if you want a meal after the pier, plan to leave the pier by sunset.

• Under "Upcoming operational impacts" the city says: "As of October 20, 2026, we will be CLOSED SUNSET through SUNRISE until further notice, due to maintenance needs." No end date is given. City of Deerfield Beach: International Fishing Pier
