Guatemala Restaurant

Fort Lauderdale’s Guatemala Restaurant is not the first, second, or 19th place that most people would look for Salvadoran pupusas, but the tiny establishment with just five stools gets them right. Take a forkful of pupusa, a bit of peppery curtido, and a splash of the tangy salsa and you’ll be rewarded with a burst […]

Hardy Park Bistro

After years of planning and traveling the world, former yacht chef and Australian native Philip Darmon opened downtown Fort Lauderdale’s Hardy Park Bistro in November 2013. Here, he serves upscale food in a casual neighborhood environment. Though Darmon has an affinity for the Mediterranean and its cuisine because of his travels throughout the region, his […]

Heart Rock Sushi

There’s something surreally Depression Era about finding anything on a menu that costs one buck, or even two bucks seventy-five. At Heart Rock, rock-bottom prices are the norm, not the exception. Skewers of zucchini, chicken, chicken liver, shrimp, or scallops cost less than $5 each; soups like crab-spinach, mussel-miso, or mixed vegetable come in under […]

Himmarshee Public House

For quite some time now, downtown Fort Lauderdale has been known more as a place to drink than as an area to find a good meal. The newly opened Himmarshee Public House is attempting to turn that image around. With innovative cocktails and global comfort food ranging from Mexican tacos to root-beer-glazed spicy lamb ribs […]

Historic Downtowner Saloon

Put it this way: if you moved to Fort Lauderdale, and nobody told you about this place, you need new friends. The historic Downtowner is a Fort Lauderdale institution meeting traditionalist, utilitarian needs: Friday’s the fish fry night, Monday is steak night, Tuesdays it’s ribs, etc. The Sunday brunch stays a longtime favorite draw, crammed […]

Hoffman’s Chocolates

Check out Hoffman’s Chocolates’ Fort Lauderdale location for truffles, milk & dark chocolate assortments, double-dipped pretzels, ice cream, milkshakes, caramel apples, and custom orders.

Hollywood Rifle & Pistol Club

The Hollywood Rifle & Pistol Club has been around since 1935 — an impressive feat for South Florida. And this outdoor rage is definitely old school, with all the character you’d imagine from a place that’s seen generations of shooters come and go. The members are thick as thieves, and they host ladies days, regular […]

Horizon International

Open the front door to Horizon and it’ll look like a tiny Asian food mart. But follow the murmur of voices and clanging of pans coming from the back and you’ll discover a busy little kitchen with seating for about 20. On weekends, you’ll likely stand in line with a cadre of Filipino workers from […]

Hot Dog Heaven

This more than 30-year-old hot dog stand in Fort Lauderdale offers some of the most satiating Chicago-style dogs and sausages in the land.

Hot Shots

Hot Shots bar is a dream home away from home for just about any pool shark and sports enthusiast. The deceptively large sports bar is hidden in a strip plaza off University Drive in Sunrise and is packed wall to wall with pool tables and flat-screen TVs. But if playing pool isn’t up your alley, […]
