You know Joe’s by now. You know about the storied history, the gloriously sweet stone crabs, the notorious wait to get in. Often overlooked are its consistently good food, truly professional service, free parking, surprising affordability (excepting the crabs), and stately ambiance that only a restaurant large enough to seat 450 can provide. Tuxedoed waiters […]
American in Broward Palm Beach

In his decade long run as one of South Florida’s most praised practitioners of New American cuisine, Johnny Vinczencz has been nicknamed everything from “The Caribbean Cowboy” to “The Guava Gaucho,” but his food is always recognizable by familiar flavors rooted in our country’s regional cuisines — just disguised a bit with worldly-wise additions and […]
Judging by the name, I would assume this is a place to get bagels. At JP’s in Hollywood, you can get the house breakfast special for under $5 and their ham, egg and cheese bagel is no McDonalds. The ham is cooked and the egg is fried, a rebellion against fast food breakfast. Delivery is […]
Forget cheeseburgers in paradise. At the Margaritaville resort in Hollywood Beach, you can get a perfectly seared prime bone-in rib-eye, local spear-caught fish, and a homemade banana cream pie that’s better than your mom’s – all in our own little slice of South Florida heaven. When the 17-story, 349-room Margaritaville Hollywood Beach Resort opened, no […]
Kahuna Bar and Grill is a casual beachfront watering hole in Deerfield Beach with frozen drinks, tacos, live music, and a lively local crowd. Bands and solo acts that frequently play Kahuna, such as Crazy Fingers and Blind Fish, tend to perform music in the jam, reggae, and acoustic genres.
Kaos Ultra Lounge has the look of a South Beach club and the drink specials of a Fort Lauderdale Beach dive, all strangely located in a quiet plaza off of Commercial Boulevard. This modestly sized, chromed-out “lounge” in Fort Lauderdale features a curving, neon-back-lit bar, glass-tiled DJ booth, plenty of high-top table seating, and crystal […]

Located on Ocean Drive in the chill, walkable beachside community of Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, Keese’s opened its doors in 1953. The nondescript family-owned cafe is not the place to hang out but rather, a spot to grab take-out. There are more than 50 items to choose from. Locals rave about the award-winning fried chicken and the healthier […]
Set off the main road, among warehouses, auto repair shops, and cheap motels just south of State Road 84 and west of Federal Highway, the Keg on Sixth isn’t a place most Fort Lauderdale residents would just happen to stumble across. But the place offers a cool vibe, good food, and one of the best […]
Few things inspire a greater reaction in Broward / Palm Beach sugar fiends than a lit-up “HOT NOW” sign glowing outside a Krispy Kreme Doughnuts. Founded in 1937 when Vernon Rudolph purchased a top-secret yeast-raised donut recipe from a New Orleans chef, the donut company set its sites on world domination in the 1990s and […]
You can never have too many good brunch options, and Kristof’s Kafe makes its mark amongst Fort Lauderdale’s best. From their famous strawberry stuffed French toast, country fried steaks and build-your-own-omelettes to homemade soups and sammies galore, they’ve got a menu that covers every craving. It’s a tasty option for home-cooked breakfast, lunch and on […]
This joint comes closest to a burger lover’s Eden. The self-proclaimed “Home of the Boxcar Burger” cooks up square sandwiches, but the beef — 100 percent USDA grade — beats the rest of the burger business. In typical slider-joint fashion, the Caboose’s burgers come in sacks of up to 20; that’s a whole lot of […]

Lola’s menu draws on American home-style and Southern regional, gussied up with trendy international spices and flavorings and fresh seasonal vegetables. Sun-dried tomatoes are comfortable on the same menu with white anchovies, tobiko or American sturgeon, sesame seeds, red pepper marmalade, orange-horseradish gremolata, mangoes, wild Bolognese cherries, chorizo, and corn bread. It’s a worldly view […]
This isn’t just another diner, because it evokes the ’40s, not the ’50s. The décor and comfort food at this joint suggest a decade of quiet indulgence, when meals were shared mostly at home. In fact, the potato chips, ketchup, blue cheese dressing, meat loaf, and chicken potpie are all made on the premises. That […]
Having weathered the economic downturn that knocked off some of its neighbors, this Las Olas mainstay is still kicking. Of course, this corner joint comes with some of that boulevard’s highbrow appeal (you can spend $17 on a salad here). It’s popular place for a power-lunch, an interview, or a first date – it smacks […]
In 2010, co-owners Paula Pace and chef Ernesto Rado closed the 20-year-old Las Olas Cafe and began again with partner Scott Kraft on a new family-style restaurant: the Mason Jar Café. Together, they decided to shed the fine-dining approach of the Las Olas address and set up shop off Federal Highway in Oakland Park. The […]
Enjoy live music every Friday and Saturday night while kicking back a few brews at this downtown Hollywood spot. The bar offers 18 choices on tap, from European favorites like Smithwick’s and Chimay to Domestic ales like Starr Hill and Magic Hat. It’d be difficult not to find something that suits your palate. Mickey Byrne’s […]

If you’re among the many who prowl the streets of Broward at night, maddeningly hungry and just begging for a dining option other than Taco Bell, then the stainless metal lunchbox that is Moonlite Diner is your Northern Star. Why? Well, the doors are open late (till 2 a.m. on weekends), the service is friendly […]
Local folks and beach dwellers gather at this establishment for oversized buckets and goblets of drinks with names like “pirate sprits.” Guzzle down 32 ounces of booze for $8 while the requisite Jimmy Buffet tunes play throughout the bar. Daily themes like Parrot Head Tuesday and Caribbean Wednesdays keep things fun, complete with foods that […]
Nemo has been serving its Asian-influenced, contemporary American fare to popular acclaim since 1995. Some menu items are the same as on opening day, such as an appetizer of garlic-and-ginger-cured salmon wrapped around alfalfa sprout and a grilled Indian-spiced pork chop with sticky black rice and papaya salsa. They still taste good, as do starters […]
With a view like this, it’s no wonder this oceanfront bistro is packed during season with snowbirds snapping phone photos of the pier to taunt snow-shoveling friends back home. A wide selection of seafood anchors the menu at this casual-chic spot, but it’s the creative extras like seafood hummus or beef picadillo empanada that shake […]
