The original of this Cuban staple is in Miami, and the Deerfield restaurant features a fountain and an outdoor patio where die-hard cigar smokers can stretch their legs. A bright interior is decorated with wood mementos, gewgaws, and color-saturated murals of Havana street scenes. But even with every word and snort of laughter echoing against […]
Deerfield Beach in Broward Palm Beach
Showing 23 - 44 of 44This beautiful little room, with its waterfall and warm colors, has long been a favorite with locals. Young people crowd in on weekends for the specialty rolls, the stir fries, noodle dishes, and tempura vegetables, which you can order by the piece to mix and match. The sushi and sashimi here is about average – […]
This Deerfield pizzeria is an offshoot of a Brooklyn bakery that’s been operating for three generations. The walls are covered with photos of gangsters and Mob movies, and the food is all about family. Crisp, coal-oven pizzas are fresh and sport a flaky crust like a quality pastry. And Mona Lisa’s desserts are topnotch — […]
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 […]
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 […]
South Florida’s fish markets can’t compete with Seattle’s Pike Place or San Francisco’s Fisherman’s Wharf, but they can be just as inviting. Inside the Cape Cod-style building known as Pop’s, the friendly folks behind the counter aren’t showmen, but they are more than willing to help you find the exact type of sea-dweller you need. […]
Splash Adventure featuring water playground and swimming beach.
Though this Tex Mex restaurant and bar, located just half a block from Deerfield Beach, serves Southwestern cuisine, the décor of mounted fish and fishing photographs suggests a fascination with the nearby ocean. Rattlesnake Jake’s is divided in half, with the restaurant on one side and a small bar, bustling with friendly local fellows, on […]
There’s no better way to mop up a sauce made from fresh tomatoes, green peppers, onions, and the remnants of perfectly cooked chunks of tender lamb than with a piece of Taj’s chewy onion kulcha, a bread baked on hot tandoor walls. Every dish here is unique, intensely aromatic, with a mixture of spices unlike […]
Named for the tree that gives Thai food its unique flavor, Tamarind serves some of the freshest and most interesting Thai fare you’re likely to find in these parts. From a sweet/sour green papaya salad to grilled quail eggs yakitori-style to Tamarind’s scrumptious “Thai fries” made from boniato strips dipped in coconut batter and deep […]
It’s always funny to see the retro pubs — this one has the coolest “cocktails” sign ever — now touting Wi-Fi. This dark-wood and Irish-geegaw-decorated bar has it, though, along with some real Irish grub. Breakfast features Irish bacon, bangers, and blood pudding (imported from County Cork), omelets, pancakes, and biscuits and gravy. It’s bar […]
When Tucker Duke’s Lunchbox chef-owner Brian Cartenuto opened his first South Florida location at 32 he was already approaching a near 20-year career that had brought him from Anthony Bourdain’s Brasserie Les Halles in Miami to the French bistro Lavandou in Washington, D.C. Now a two-time winner of Cutthroat Kitchen, the Florida native is best […]
Begun as a neighborhood dockside fish shack and open-air bar in 1957, Two Georges has expanded to an outdoor dining complex and sports bar along the waterfront northwest of the Boynton Beach Boulevard bridge. The all-outdoor (but covered) seating is at tables and hightops in the tiki and along the deck, with a group of […]
Since being showcased on Food Network’s Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives, homey seafood shack the Whale’s Rib has enjoyed a renaissance as Deerfield Beach’s premier spot for ultrafresh seafood and cold brews. And for good reason. It’s the kind of place where you can sit at the worn bar-top and watch your oysters shucked right in […]
Don’t expect authentic Yucatan regional specialties here. But do anticipate some well-made tried and trues, including nachos, fajitas, chimichangas, and burritos. Mostly, the food is tasty and comforting, with a few stand-out items including creamy, buttery guacamole and chili-infused chilaquiles. Fried ice cream for dessert may not inspire the jaded at heart, but the young […]
