We are always on the look-out for interesting places to eat…And we’ve driven by this spot for years. So at lunchtime today I said it was time to check it out… www.yakzies.com/pompano.html And I must admit…this sign on their building made me want to try it… The food was good (when it finally arrived)…but […]
Cypress Nook Restaurant – Pompano Beach, Florida
Today we headed back to a really yummy breakfast spot: Cypress Nook. It is run by an incredibly friendly German lady who always takes time to wander among her diners and chat. It’s a Mom and Pop sort of place…and it’s a great spot to sit outside on a beautiful Winter morning. Their menu […]
The Over Easy Diner – Wilton Manors, Florida
Nothing fancy…just GOOD. That’s all I have to say about this place… It’s worth a trip…and the cook and the staff will make you feel like family.
Nelson’s Diner – Pompano Beach, Florida
Thanks to my GPS (I’ve named “her” Stella!) we found another spot for a good breakfast. And let’s just say owner/chef “Nelson” appears to LOVE Elvis and the Golden Oldies in general. Menu That’s Owner/Chef Nelson…In the Apron…”Working the Crowd”… We felt right at home after we discovered a Hawkeye pennant on […]
Green Shutters Restaurant – Williston, Florida
Lunch time on this Road Trip found us in Williston, Florida. And we found ourselves at the Green Shutters Restaurant. This part of Northern Florida is “Cowboy Country”, and there was no shortage of ten gallon hats and cowboy boots galore. It seemed like all the booths were filled with horse trainers and […]
Gladys’ on the Park Restaurant – Okeechobee, Florida
Allow me digress…I still have several FLORIDA stops to share with you on our trip North. (Apparently those Zipper Peas in Alabama were a highlight in my subconscious…) So allow me to share several more “highlights” in Central and Northern Florida! We got a VERY early start as we headed North after our winter […]
Bobby Rubino’s – Pompano Beach, Florida
You know the old saying…If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is…or maybe it isn’t…sort of! Last week we enjoyed a great meal…and it didn’t break the bank! For several years we’ve seen coupons in our local paper for a rib place called Bobby Rubino’s. And they offer TWO rib dinners with […]
North Beach – Fort Lauderdale, Florida
Whether a Daytime Stroll… Or Dinner Outside At Night… A great place for “people-watching” We love to walk across the drawbridge and stroll up and down 32nd and 33rd Street in Fort Lauderdale. There, you’ll find everything from restaurants and bars, a sports bar to art galleries…and a jazz club, a cigar bar, […]
Andre’s Bakery and Bistro – Fort Lauderdale, Florida
So…What’s in a NAME?? Fred rode his bike past Julian’s…a restaurant where we’ve eaten many times. He rode by again the next day…and the Julian’s sign was gone. One window in the restaurant now says something like The Midnight Wine Bar…and the other window says Andre’s Bakery…so…What’s Up with THAT? We decided to […]
The Chart House – Fort Lauderdale, Florida
If you’re looking for a great spot to sit outside by the water, enjoy a cold beverage, and consume some AMAZING (and beautiful) appetizers…then you’d better give The Chart House in Fort Lauderdale a try. Friends Debbie and Toni took us there last night…and check out the food we enjoyed! The appetizers included […]
