Everyone likes to get in on a good deal. Whether it's an end of season sale, a buy one get one, or an amazing discounted meal things feel better when you're saving some cash.
Starting last week and running through November 7, Dine Out Lauderdale features over forty Broward County restaurants with three-course meals for $35 per person -- it's kind of hard to beat that.
To help you conserve time and funds, we have a list of ten must-try places while Dine Out is still around.

Unless otherwise specified, these deals are offered Sunday through Thursday nights, excluding the week of the boat show.
10. Chima
This all-you-can eat Las Olas spot is not known for being inexpensive; however, if you can really stuff your face, it's probably a deal. For Dine Out, it's offering appetizers, unlimited salad bar, eat-all-you-want rodizio (grilled meats), and choice of tiramisu, cheesecake, and key lime.
9. McCoy's Oceanfront
Offered every night of the week, this new Pompano Beach waterfront spot is featuring three appetizers, baby mixed greens, summer vegetable soup au pistou, and crispy calamari, with an optional $10 add-on for pan-seared New England sea scallops; three entrees, including blackened salmon, spaghetti and meatballs, all natural chicken breast, and a grilled beef tenderloin for an extra $20; and three desserts - high road ice cream, lemon tart, and New York cheesecake.
Overlooking the intracoastal, this Italian spot will usually cost you a pretty penny by the time you get out. As part of its deal, it's offering a choice of table-side prepared mozzarella caprese ($15), jumbo meatball ($13), or crispy eggplant ($9) to start; Barolo braised short rib ravioli ($20), wood fire roasted salmon ($26), or penne alla pizzaiola ($18) for entrees; and either tiramisu souffle ($10) or white chocolate bread pudding for dessert.
7. Steak 954
One of the best restaurants on Fort Lauderdale beach, you'd be hard-pressed to get out of here for less than $35 per person normally. For Dine Out, the spot is offering caesar salad ($11), local snapper tiradito ($12), or lobster bisque ($12) to start; petit filet mignon (the smallest is usually $36), organic Scottish salmon ($36), or roasted cage-free chicken ($28) for entrees; and vanilla cheesecake brulee or frozen chocolate and peanut butter layer cake ($12).
Shula's has the most extensive upgrade options. For the basic $35 deal, you can get French onion or caesar salad to start; grilled strip steak, French cut chicken breast, or grilled salmon for entrees; and either chocolate cake or key lime for dessert. Upgrades, however, extend the options. Appetizers can be upgraded to lobster bisque ($4), barbecue shrimp ($6), or wedge salad ($3). You can add scallops, a jumbo lump crab cake or shrimp to any entree for $7.
