American Rock Bar & Grill

Posters of Jim Morrison and Jimi Hendrix make the large space feel like a low-lit, local cousin of Planet Hollywood. Graffiti lines the wall on the way to the bathroom, and rock n’ roll dishes comprise the food menu – order Nirvana, get nachos; Motley Crue, get meatloaf. The crowd doesn’t resemble the leather-clad, tattooed, […]

Bru’s Room Sports Grill

Adore the new girlfriend but still not sure whether she can handle your Sunday football fanaticism? Then take her to this game-day headquarters and test her endurance. If she’s a keeper, she won’t mind your attention drifting to one of several TVs broadcasting football, baseball, basketball, wrestling and NASCAR because she’ll be entranced in the […]

Casa Maya Grill

Deerfield Beach is loaded with Mexican restaurants, but none is as original as Casa Maya Grill. The restaurant focuses on authentic dishes from the Yucatan Peninsula, which means you’ll find specialties beyond the ordinary burritos and tacos. Cochinita Pibil, pork marinated in annatto seed and sour orange juice, is baked in a banana leaf until […]

Charm City Burgers Company

Charm City’s motto is, “Five star chefs, five dollar burgers.” And you’ll get just that: gourmet-style burgers topped with so many quality ingredients that they’re literally bursting open. The messy sandwiches do pose some serious questions, such as, how do you get your mouth around a six-inch-tall burger and keep dry? But finding the answer […]

City Pub

In the back of a strip mall on Federal Highway in Deerfield Beach is the City Pub, an enormous bar in which to catch some live music or take in some interesting conversations with the locals. The dimly lit bar is smoky and filled with an older crowd sipping scotch and whiskey. An enormous bar […]

The Cove Restaurant and Marina

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, […]

Dandee Donut Factory

Contrary to the oft-played jingle, not all of America “runs on Dunkin’.” Resist the chain donut experience with a visit to this homey 24-hour donut shop. Dandee’s name can be deceiving, as they offer plenty of non-donut options from philly steak sandwiches to sausage and cheese bagel sandwiches, plus home fries and a proper cup […]

Deerfield Beach Pier

No beach town is complete without an epic pier – and Deerfield Beach’s newly remodeled, 976-foot specimen is quite the example. Fishing enthusiasts and sightseers alike flock to this gorgeous stretch of dock. Here, you can rent fishing rods, buy bait and tackle, fishing gear, ice and t-shirts. It’s $1 for sightseers, $4 for fisherman […]

Duffy’s Sports Grill

There is never enough team spirit at Duffy’s Sports Grill in Deerfield Beach. Football helmets line the aisles, and the giant bar area boasts 13 huge projector screens that play every game and sport imaginable.

El Jefe Luchador

The creation of chef Mike Saperstein and partner Evan David — the pair behind Charm City Burgers — El Jefe Luchador offers “hard-core Mexican street food” in a fun environment. Tables and chairs wear primary colors. Flamboyant lucha libre wrestling masks are mounted on one wall. A gaudy crystal chandelier hangs from tin ceilings. ZZ […]

The Embassy Beachfront Deerfield Resort & Spa is a hotel rife with amenities, from a heated pool to cooked-to-order breakfast to a 24 hour fitness center and […]

Hot Tomatoe

This cozy, family-oriented neighborhood spot in Deerfield serves a well-rounded antipasto and creamy pasta fagioli soup. Eggplant Parmesan and chicken and veal dishes are tasty; gnocchi, however, is outstanding. Just don’t let the kids try the rum-flavored tiramisu (they might develop a taste for it), and don’t use Hot Tomatoe’s sign to teach them how […]

JB’s on the Beach

This restaurant is the one to set up your photo at in February and mail it as a postcard to all your friends stuck in snow up North. Directly on the beach, the expansive multilevel interior offers sea views at every table, and with seating on the open-air patio, you’re at the sand’s edge. It’s […]

Kahuna Awa Kava Bar

At first, Kahuna ‘Awa Kava Bar, which opened in June, looks like a typical upscale drinking spot. Customers sit on stools and chat along the long low-lit bar. Thinly woven throws hang from the ceiling, and books about religion and veganism occupy the book shelf, adding a new-age earthy vibe. But when the muted glow […]

Kahuna Bar & Grill

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.

Lil’ Ole Caboose

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 […]
