Shawn & Nick's Courtyard Cafe

A retro diner in the heart of Wilton Manors, Shawn & Nick's draws from the locals crowds. The walls are an "I'm awake!" lime green and lemon yellow, with red and orange accents and a black and white checkerboard floor. Breakfast is served all day (or night), with several eclectic twists: fried green tomatoes and eggs, fried spam and eggs, Benedicts with sausage gravy and biscuits. Lunch fare is standard: juicy half-pound burgers, sandwiches (try the classic Monte Cristo or thick-cut meat loaf), wraps, and salads. For dessert: no pie, but deep-fried Twinkies or Oreos. It's open 24 hours on the weekends and closes early on Sunday in keeping with the club crowds it attracts. Prices won't deter you from trying a few dishes at a time.
