Across South Florida — and much of the nation — Five Guys’ famous burgers have been making headlines. Touted by many a city paper as the best burgers ever flipped into existence, these thin, griddle-cooked patties certainly out shadow the menu’s other option: hot dogs. The daily-ground beef is lightly packed and grilled to a […]

The kitschily decorated Floridian provides chi-chi Las Olas Boulevard with a shot of down-home diner attitude. Weekend mornings find the place packed with couples (gay and straight) loading up on huge made-to-order omelets, pancakes, and French toast. For an old-fashioned, protein-heavy meal, the country-fried steak and eggs can’t be beat, and the biscuits and gravy […]
Fresh First is Fort Lauderdale’s first place to earn the recognition of “Great Kitchen” by National Foundation for Celiac Awareness (NFCA), and it caters to diets and lifestyles of all shapes and sizes. Owned by mother/daughter team Mary and Francesca Siragusa, the restaurant offers a wide variety of organic fare ranging from vegan and vegetarian […]
It’s not uncommon to find Geronimo’s packed at the end of the workweek. You’ll find the same crowd during happy hour as you’ll find stumbling out at 2 in the morning. Geronimo’s is one of those rare neighborhood bars whose regulars aren’t crusty, chain-smoking curmudgeons. Young professionals and younger college students from nearby Nova, BCC, […]

Promised the ol’ Battle Ax that you wouldn’t go to the strip bar tonight? Well, if you’re a man of your word and you have a hankerin’ to be around scantily clad women, that could be a problem. Happily, Greenbrier has got you covered. On many nights, admittedly, standards have to be set a little […]
The Rainmaker Group already operated Brimstone Woodfire Grill in Pembroke Pines and Pi
Grill 66 & Bar is an upscale waterfront restaurant known to draw Broward’s recession-proof crowd. Located on the Intracoastal Waterway adjacent to Pier 66 and the Hyatt hotel, the eatery boasts white tablecloths and a lovely view of yachts floating by. The lollipop lamb chops with mixed baby leaf lettuce and a house sauce are […]
Surrounded by tiki torches and a canopy of foliage, directly off of the well-trekked Lake Avenue, Havana Hideout feels more like a relaxed backyard party than a stuffy culinary destination. Sit with the sand in your toes in one of several folding chairs and dig into plates of empanadas seasoned with ground beef, shredded cheese, […]
The name makes one think of a roadside diner, or maybe a neon-lit tavern. Instead, the Hi-Life is haute cuisine by candlelight, possibly the most genuinely romantic restaurant in Fort Lauderdale. Chef Carlos Fernandez, a wildly creative guy to be sure, crafts a dynamic menu that’s almost as fun to read as it is to […]
Put it this way: if you moved to Fort Lauderdale, and nobody told you about this place, you need new friends. The historic Downtowner is a Fort Lauderdale institution meeting traditionalist, utilitarian needs: Friday’s the fish fry night, Monday is steak night, Tuesdays it’s ribs, etc. The Sunday brunch stays a longtime favorite draw, crammed […]

Whether it’s the 28-ounce prime porterhouse, the 12-ounce Australian Kobe-style cut, or the eight-ounce cold-water lobster tail, size is everything at this chichi Hollywood beachside steakhouse. A read-through of Hollywood Prime’s menu looks like the exact opposite of eating locally, with steak flown in from Greg Norman’s ranch, lobster by way of South Africa, coffee […]
This nondescript little space is set up in classic diner fashion: booths along the windows, stools at the counter, and emphasis on big personalities, friendly service, and good prices. Owned by Sprio Passako and his wife, Thecia (known to regulars as “the boss”), the fare is typical diner, with emphasis on Greek dishes like moussaka, […]
While no compelling reason exists to eat at IKEA unless you’re shopping there, you’re doing yourself a dis-service if you’re buying furniture without dining. And we don’t mean a chicken wrap or a salad. We’re talking a plate of Swedish meatballs. With the gravy. And the potatoes and (most importantly) the lingonberries. You’re only going […]
Called Indian American, this Davie eatery is a bit of a misnomer. Chef/owner and Pakistani-native Syed Chisti is enthralled by food from all over the world. Indian food, like butter chicken and chicken tikka, are on the menu. But he also serves an array of American and Pakistani fare. Thereâ??s everything you can imagine: pancakes, […]
It’s safe to say the thin, breaded meat cutlet known as schnitzel is not quite as buzzworthy as pancakes, the specialty of another, well-known international house. But even if it doesn’t always get the respect it deserves, schnitzel is undoubtedly more popular worldwide, whether it goes by the name “milanesa” in Italy and Latin America […]

The stainless steel restaurant is a true classic, having been manufactured in 1953 by Mountain View Diners, a New Jersey company that was one of the nation’s premier eatery makers. And just like the old days, the servers are nice, and with every order you get a massive serving of diner classics. Just steps away […]
Known for “the kitchen sink,” the Holy Grail of sundaes in plumbing fixtures, this landmark of an ice cream parlor still makes its ice cream by hand, batch by slowly mixed batch. More than 60 flavors are available every day, and the scoops here are as big as oven mitts. Don’t let that deter you […]
While sports bars littered with football, basketball, and race-car memorabilia are as easy to find as sand on the beach, men and women who are drawn more to water or snow when it comes to their physical activities now have a place in Margate. The trimmings at Jesse’s Xtreme Sports Bar include surf boards, skateboards, […]
Joe’s has the feel of a family operation – from a menu filled with chef Joe’s personalized touches (wine pairing recommendations, “Mom’s key lime pie”) to the cheerful, attentive service in the front of the house. The mom-and-pop atmosphere is considerably offset by the chic beauty of the space: an indoor room gleaming with polished […]
