The wait can be a pain so don't go if you're starving or in a rush. It's a total dive but best burger ever!

While staying in Hollywood, FL, I wanted to go to a restaurant that was not commercial or over-hyped by tourists. Something small and a place that had not been tarnished by continuous droves of tourists (like me). I had read reviews for Le Tub online before, and most of them said it was worth it for sure. I have to say that I agree. Le Tub has a very small presence on the street, and I highly recommend Googling the directions before you go to find it so that you don't get lost. It would be a shame to miss out on this one.

About the place, once "inside" (it's a pretty open-aired restaurant that sprawls along the inter-coastal waterway) the tables and booths create a veritable maze around the place. There are steps up, down, and all around making this tricky for any handicapped patrons. Sit at one of the booths along side the waterway so that you can watch incoming boats. The menu is small and fairly basic, but the food has so much flavor and character. The menu appears to be the original handwritten one from the 70s. I had the sirloin burger (a whopping 13oz) which I gather is one of their specialties. My friend and I also nibbled on some steamed clams, massive shrimp, some bloody mary's, and a small basket of wedge fries. Don't worry, this was over the course of 3 hours. The servers at Le Tub are human have a personality. Not ashamed to recommend other establishments that serve awesome seafood.

If you have made it this far in this review, please just try Le Tub out for yourself. We went around 4ish which appeared to be the time to do it. They get busy later on, but the cooks are not rushed; they will take their time with every dish...making the wait time fairly long, at least I gathered from some of the people ordering as we left. I highly recommend!

Ok, I can understand the appeal of a water view and rustic furnishings but give me a break. First of all, the restaurant is located next to a parking lot of garbage trucks...hmm, could this account for their roach problem?

My husband ordered a burger and I ordered a fish sandwich and was told they're out of fish - what? It's only 7:30 p.m. on a Saturday night, how do you run out of fish? Then we were told there's a 45 minute wait for a burger! Are they slaughtering the cows in the kitchen!

Of course drinks and appetizers will come right away, but the overpriced and watery drinks come in 8oz. plastic cups. The burger was burned on the outside and rare in the center and nothing special. For a $12 burger served without any sides I expect it to rock!

Don't waste your time, there's so many better places where you'll get a water view, reasonable prices and tasty food. Try Giorgio's on the water a few blocks down or any restaurant on the boardwalk.

Although the service can sometimes be poor, and the wait is average 30 to 60 minutes to get your order, it is well worth the wait. By far the best burgers and bloody mary's around. They are quoted to be 13oz burgers, but they don't weigh each one. I have had burgers there that are 16oz + (Thats a pound of serloin!!) I will not ever visit Florida without making a trip to Le Tub for burgers and drinks. I live in Las Vegas and would and will make a trip to Florida just to have burgers and bloody mary's at this place. They also have an amazing Seafood Gumbo that is off the hook! A true burger/bloody mary lovers heaven!
