In a word, “massive.” The Cove is one of the largest bar/restaurants in the area, with an indoor seating area the size of any respectable restaurant, plus a stage, a bar that counts itself the centerpiece of the room, and several outdoor areas. One of these sits right on the water, so boaters can dock, […]
With its walk-up window and picnic tables, Dairy Belle would be welcome enough if it were only an old-fashioned ice cream and hot dog stand. But owners Gilles and Ritane Grenier and their daughter Isabelle also serve the dishes of their native land, Quebec. First, that means poutine ($5.83 to $7.32), a pile of French […]
Originally a flagship of the Dennis Max restaurant group, this establishment was once known simply as Cafe Max. When Max sold out to the restaurant’s manager, Darrel Broek, and executive chef, Oliver Saucy, the change was made to show both its lineage and its future. Today, Broek and Saucy continue to create culinary magic nightly […]

Burger joints, soul food restaurants, and taco food trucks are just a few places to eat sans utensils, so what makes Dixie Pig the best place to take off those dainty white gloves? Simply put, it’s the sauce. Dixie Pig has been in the same location on Dixie Highway for more than 20 years, so […]
There is never enough team spirit at Duffy’s Sports Grill. Football helmets line the aisles, and the giant bar area boasts 13 huge projector screens that play every game and sport imaginable. If that’s not sports overload, young women in jerseys offer enthusiastic “how are yas?” at every corner while they walk past restaurant-area walls […]
Typical of South Florida sports-bar excess, Duffy’s piles it on in every way: Huge, heart-stopping piles of meat. Flat-screens covering every conceivable surface showing every competitive match from around the globe. Nubile waitresses clad in gimmicky outfits. In its previous incarnations (Red Zone, Original Steakhouse) not much was different. Ribs, chicken wings, quesadillas and the […]

The chivito, a Uruguayan sandwich, is often referred to as “a heart attack on a plate.” El Rey’s basic chivito Canadiense contains steak, ham, cheese, fried eggs, roasted red peppers, tomato, lettuce, and mayonnaise. It’s served between two halves of a big baguette. To counteract any possible health-food taint from the lettuce and tomatoes, the […]
A charming lunch spot tucked away in a former pastor’s home at Trinity Lutheran Church, the restaurant run by two sisters, Jonny Altobell and Penny Sanfilippo, has hidden in the annex for ten years. In a nod to childhood nicknames, the Ugly Sisters riff on their sense of humor that pervades the spirit of the […]

Popular lore estimates he once purchased $250,000 worth of booze and stored […]

Fat Lou’s is a Chicago haven for sports fans; the walls are lined in Chicago Bulls, Bears, and Cubs paraphernalia, and the TVs are on. The menu […]

Hardly anybody beyond Willie and Donna Schlager seems to want to run a cozy little seafood café anymore, the kind of place where you order blackened dolphin or broiled yellowtail; where oysters are sautéed to order for a cream-rich stew and waitresses stagger under the weight of bristling platters of Alaskan King crab legs; where […]
