The only place open in downtown Fort Lauderdale before 10 a.m., Old Fort Lauderdale Breakfast House serves up locals and last night’s bar crowd hearty homemade-style breakfast. The small nautical-inspired interior pumps out traditional farm-style breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The restaurant places emphasis on the old-farmhouse style meal with free-range eggs, organic milk, and homemade […]

Get drunk while doing some grade-A people-watching, or just contemplate the world’s vastness over a pint and a dramatic view of the ocean. Pull up a seat on the porch of Organic Brewery along Hollywood’s Broadwalk for both. Four great beers are brewed on-site, and they don’t carry the pretentious price tags often associated with […]
Fun. Food. Libation. Those are the words stamped above the door at the Parrot Lounge, one of Fort Lauderdale’s oldest bars. And you can bet that the folks inside stick to that slogan. Tucked inside a corner near the beach, the red-brick building is sandwiched between tattoo shops, and despite its close proximity to a […]
The old Shirttail Charlie’s location is tricky to access by car (tucked in a maze of streets behind Andrews Avenue) but is one of Fort Lauderdale’s best. How many downtown restaurants boast 150 feet of waterfront on the New River? The biker/pirate motif is contrived but fun, and Pirate Republic is actually a step up […]
Formerly known as Himmarshee Bar & Grille, PL8 specializes in small plates, which include seafood, sliders, skewers, pizzas, salads, and greens. A stylish dining room is anchored by bar tables of reclaimed wood and sleek steel. Abstract silk-screens and varied textures nod to nature. Accent lighting is easy on the eyes too, especially in the […]
Point Royal, which opened in February 2017, sits on the ground floor of the newly renovated Diplomat Beach Resort. The restaurant is billed as coastal American, the type of place you can stop by for a burger and beer or for some oysters and a glass of wine. Once the site of the hotel’s breakfast […]

Pompano Citi Centre is an outdoor shopping mall in Pompano Beach, FL, featuring department stores, restaurants, boutiques, medical offices, service providers and a fitness center.
A breezy bar and restaurant where all types of people interact over a solid beer selection, pool, and sports.
The room, with its plush old banquettes, is comfy and cool in coffee-shop fashion. Service is cheerful, the menu exactly as you expect: Hamburgers, grilled cheese sandwiches, club sandwiches, BLTs, chef salads — need we continue? This is formulaic diner food, meaning decent, filling, relatively cheap, and thoroughly satisfying when the mood strikes. We particularly […]
Rainforest Café has been at Sawgrass Mills for more than a decade, but for tykes and the young at heart, the restaurant’s gimmicks still seem fresh. Lightning flashes. Thunder cracks. A thin mist wafts. Monkeys chatter. Drums beat out an African rhythm. It’s all simulated, of course, but there’s enough going on to keep even […]
“Contemporary American.” It’s a nebulous term, fine for describing this inoffensive, midscale chain eatery headquartered in Nashville. There’s nothing groundbreaking about the menu of burgers, steaks, salads, pastas, and vaguely Southwestern-inspired dishes — but dang, this place makes some solid food, and the portions are huge. (Our food critic has raved about the veggie burger […]

Burger joints may be all the rage right now, but Rok: Brgr boasts a menu to outlive many of them. The concept was to create a space with the feel of a prohibition-era speakeasy, with the kind of comfort food anybody would want with a pint of something cold. The look is all exposed brick […]
Thirty years of deep-frying wings in one building builds a lot of history (and plaque in a lot of arteries). Even so, Roosters packed up the poultry operation in May 2008, moving from the dark, wood-paneled confines of its longtime Southgate Boulevard location to a shiny new space just a few blocks down the road. […]
Formerly Hamburger Mary’s, Rosie’s is a mini paradise in the middle of Wilton Manors. Dance music blasts, gay-culture knickknacks litter the walls, colorful lanterns light the outside patio, and a good-looking friendly staff serves your food and drinks with a wink. Dishes have cheeky titles like “Big ‘Dicts” (eggs benedict) and “Ivana Hooker.” And, in […]
The latest addition to the burgeoning Las Olas nightlife scene is the Royal Pig Pub. Across from Vibe and YOLO, this watering hole is for those in need of a more casual bar scene. The interior is ornate but not overdone and gaudy. Constructed almost completely in wood and brick, the castle-like inside will make […]
With its high ceilings, graceful archways, large wooden tables, and rustic fireplace, Coral Spring’s landmark Runyon’s looks more country inn than steak house. It is only when you dip into giant, succulent meat like their famous prime rib with puffy popover of Yorkshire pudding or Texas-cut rib eye that you’ll be sure you’re in an […]

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 […]
This seaside cantina has Mexican classics, American fare, and fresh seafood.
Sonny’s is what you might call an institution
