The Kings of Queen has been selling out venues nationwide and is considered one of the country’s Top Rated Queen Tributes. This fierce foursome is fronted by Emo Alaeddin, known for the looks and voice Freddie Mercury but also the flair, the moves, and the replica outfits. They’re most known for their ability to bring true 4-part harmonies to the stage without the use of auto tune, harmonizers or backing tracks. If you’re looking for the sound, energy, look, and feel of Queen then The Kings of Queen is the band for you!
Jimmy Williamson and Friends is an outrageously talented group of musicians-who cover Soul, R&B, Jazz, Fusion, Standard, Show Tunes, Rock and more. If you’re into artists such as Frank Sinatra, Gino Vannelli, The Spinners, Bobby Caldwell, Al Jarreau, Marvin Gaye, The Righteous Brothers, Billy Paul, Player, Firefall, England Dan & John Ford Coley, Orleans, Toto, Wild Cherry and Hall & Oates- then you gotta- go see the group on Thursday, September 10th, 2026 (6pm/ Complimentary) at Legends Lounge located in: Seminole Casino Coconut Creek, 5550 NW 40th Street, Coconut Creek, Florida 33073, (954) 977-6700.
For you guys who don’t know the Legends Lounge- I’m telling you that it is one of the coolest “rooms” in all of South Florida-to eat/ drink/ dance and see top notch bands and other live entertainment!
From seminolecasinococonutcreek.com:
Legends Lounge
An elevated lounge experience.
Live entertainment. Top-notch spirits & cocktails. NYY Steak’s signature dishes.
Way-back on 2/15/12 Jeff Eats told you guys about NYY Steak located in the Seminole Casino Creek Coconut Creek- in Coconut Creek. That “review” is down-below…
Long story short, since that “review” was published, Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats have eaten in NYY something like 5-times, with the latest “outing”- being last night. For what it’s worth, all of the meals that Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats have had, were all right on the money!
Last night, I got to thinking that Jeff Eats rarely if ever hears- NYY Steak mentioned in conversations about South Florida’s best steak-joints. No ifs, ands or buts- the 26oz bone-in-ribeye with grilled onions and French fries- that I had last night and didn’t come close to finishing- could easily be matched against the best of breed down here in sunny South Florida-same story for Mrs. Jeff Eats’ pan seared snapper!
Anyway,
Jeff Eats just wanted to mention NYY Steak to you guys, again…
One of the best-“upscale steakhouses” in South Florida is located at the Seminole Casino Coconut Creek in- Coconut Creek…That’s right, the casino where you-gotta wear an oxygen mask because the cigarette smoke is so brutal—as part of a recently completed $150,000,000 renovation/expansion has opened an absolutely georgeous looking steakhouse with fabulous food and service. You can check www.seminolecoconutcreekcasino.com for menu/prices/photos. By the way, NYY is a joint venture–Seminole Indians/New York Yankees (there is another NYY at Yankee Stadium).
NYY…New York Yankees, get it? All kinds, of New York Yankee black/white photos, autographs…no dark wood–or dim lights here…but rather, a great looking open kitchen, light oak woods, bright lights, plenty of glass. Like I said before, an absolutely gorgeous looking joint.
When you check NYY’s menu, try not to get sticker-shock…no question about it- that $51.75 24oz bone in ribeye is “high” even for an upscale steakhouse–Now, I maybe going out on a limb here, but I think- that casino-joints like NYY get a ton of customers using their casino “PLAYER’S CLUB” rewards/points to pay the bill. If I’m right—the restaurant can charge more than what most folks would consider “normal”- because many customers aren’t using real-money. So, if you go there, I think you will find that many of the “diners” are eating on-the-arm.
At this juncture of the discussion, let me tell you that NYY looks totally out of place at the Seminole Casino. Nothing for nothing, but the Seminole Casino isn’t in this boy’s opinion–an upscale looking property. Now, there may-be something more developing at the Seminole Casino that’s gonna get it looking more like the Hard Rock operation in Hollywood-so NYY may eventually make sense, but for right now, NYY looks like a fish out of water. Personally, I don’t see non-casino players making special plans/reservations to eat at NYY, despite the fact that its food is absolutely dynamite.
A recent dinner had me “doing” the aforementioned 24oz ribeye, 28oz porterhouse ($54.75), veal chop milanase ($44.50), roast chicken ($28.50), lemon pepper halibut ($31.50), steak fries ($9.50), lobster mac & cheese ($11). Every item was delicious. On the service front, excellent without the “snotty” know-it-all attitude you find at many upscale steakhouses.
There are two ways to play NYY Steak. You can gamble your heart out…and accumulate points to spend or you can just fork over cash or your credit card at the end of the meal.
NYY Steak is a homerun…pun intended!
NYY Steak is open Monday, Thursday-Sunday 5pm-11pm. The joint is closed on Tuesday and Wednesday
***** Bello Forno Ristorante, 2901 Clint Moore Road Ste 3, Boca Raton 33496, (561) 995-9940
Got a real good Italian joint for you guys to checkout, Bello Forno Ristorante which opened five months ago in Boca Raton.
Simple tale to tell, last night Jeff Eats, Mrs. Jeff Eats and our friends Allan and Anita “discovered” Bello Forno and its food was right on the money! Small handful of outside tables/ inside table and booth seating, reasonably priced full boat lunch and dinner menus of appetizers/ salads/ subs/ sandwiches/ wraps/ soups/ pastas/ pizzas/ entrees/ desserts.
Now you guys know- that there are more Italian joints in Florida than there are Chins in a Chinese phonebook (I know, Soupy Sales 1957)- and I am telling you that Bello Forno’s food was absolute dynamite…purely a subjective call- I’d rate the joint right up there with Boca Raton’s best Italian restaurants! Gutsy call- but I am telling you, terrific food!

Let’s wrap-up Bello Forno Ristorante by saying- homerun!
The joint is open:
Sunday- Thursday
11:00 AM – 9:00 PM
Friday- Saturday

***** Lotus Biscoff Cookies, 8.8oz, 32 Cookies per Pack.
Just between us- one of my favorite reasons for flying Delta Air Lines is that its snacks offerings include packs of 2-Lotus Biscoff Cookies! I absolutely love these cookies!
Long story short…I’ve been buying these cookies for years-for some unknown reason I had never mentioned them to you guys- so… yesterday, I purchased 2 Lotus Biscoff Cookies, 8.8oz, 32 Cookies per Pack for $2.97 each at Walmart Supercenter, 16205 South Military Trail, Delray Beach, Florida 33484, (561) 495-8127.
That’s the whole story in a nutshell- off the chart delicious crunchy caramelized cinnamon flavored cookies…

Chris has been touring the country breathing new life into vintage rock and roll tunes, in over 100 towns and cities so far! Working with the same arranger who created all the hits for Frankie Valli & the Four Seasons, Chris has crafted unique takes on familiar standards that have landed in heavy rotation on SiriusXM and local radio stations coast-to-coast.

Whether you’re a teenager of the 1960s or just love good music, don’t miss one of the most energetic and fun-filled holiday rock and roll shows you’ll ever see from one of today’s fastest-rising stars.
Every so often, Jeff Eats gets a reader email which complains- that at. Publix checkout the scanned register price on an item was more than the shelf or advertised price!
I thought that you guys might like to know what Publix’s official policy is on the above situation…
From Publix.com:
“Our Publix Promise guarantees that if during checkout, the scanned price of an item (excluding alcohol and tobacco products) exceeds the shelf price or advertised price, we will give the customer one of that item free. We will charge the lower price for the remaining items.”
My name is Jeff. I was born and bred in Brooklyn, New York. Since 1991, I have lived in South Florida and have eaten in so many restaurants down here, that I now consider myself to be a food expert.
