Many real-deal diners have gone the way of the dinosaurs, but not Diner by the Sea. This Lauderdale by the Sea throwback comes complete with vinyl stools, cozy booths and a short order cook. It’s the eatery of choice for tuna melts, Reubens, chili dogs and burgers. Pop in here for a bite, and you’d […]

If you need a hit of that old-fashioned greasy-spoon goodness, investigate this ancient US 1 icon. You already know the type: the waitresses have worked here since God’s grandparents needed a babysitter; the chef probably invented the wife-beater; and the percolated coffee flows non-stop. A seriously 60s vibe pervades (the diner sits next to an […]
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 […]
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 […]
Put simply, now that Starbuck’s has invaded Wilton Manors (at Five Points, in the old Shakespeare’s Pub location) those beholden to its corporate charms will go there. Folks supporting the little guy, however, will come to Java Boys in the gayest strip mall in the state. Put it this way: Anita Bryant has nothing to […]

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 […]
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 […]
There are diners, and then there’s Lester’s. Everything about this place is a matter of superlatives: It’s one of the oldest dining establishments in the county, dating back to the late ’60s. It’s one of the biggest, with a back dining room that seems to extend to the horizon. And its menu is one of […]

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 […]
On the beachfront corner of SE 5 Street and A1A, just south of the touristy stretch of beach at Las Olas, lies St. Bart’s Coffee Co.’s flagship quiet cafe. (There’s another outpost a few blocks south.) St Bart’s opened 17 years ago and draws a strong mix of locals and tourists dishing on hearty breakfasts […]

When you walk into a local joint and encounter a table of cops tucking into the grub, it’s generally a pretty good sign. After all, peace officers, like couriers, often have a leg up on some of the best out-of-the-way places to score a solid meal at a good price. Cuban sandwiches are a big […]
There’s generally nothing unique about a Waffleworks franchise, but this one’s extraordinary. Owner Sergio Goldvarg has affixed his collection of 500 scale-model cars to the walls. Let the ankle-biters chow down on Mickey Mouse-shaped chocolate chip pancakes or waffles studded with M&M’s or Oreos (all priced at under a fiver) — you can worry about […]
