***** Rock N Roll Ribs, 4651 State Road 7, Coral Springs, Florida 33073 (954) 345-7429.

Rock N Roll Ribs is a “bbq joint”…it opened about 3 months ago…one of its co-owners is Nicko McBrain, the legendary drummer of the metal-band Iron Maiden…by the way, Nicko lives in Boca Raton. So, you now know— how “it” probably got the name Rock N Roll Ribs. The joint, has videos of bands playing, records on the wall, hanging guitars and a drum set as its decor. Rock N Roll Ribs is located in a shopping center on State Road 7…I think there are more empty stores than going businesses. Personally, I think that the spot stinks, but hey, it ain’t my dime! The joint isn’t all that big, maybe 80 seats. From what I understand, although Nicko is one of the owners and hangs out there- when he is in “town” (he wasn’t there, last night), it is run by “Moby” Rick Baum who according to the joint’s “pr” has an extensive background in developing/opening/running restaurants—the guy also plays guitar in Nicko’s (other band) McBrain Damage… What I can tell you, based on last night’s meal, this guy Moby Rick knows his bbq.

At this stage of the concert, check www.rocknrollribs.org for menu/prices/photos.

Now let’s talk food…tried- baby back ribs, bbq chicken, pork sandwich, cheese burger, french fries, garlic toast—this is some of the best bbq that I have had “down here” in South Florida. This joint’s bbq is not heavy-smokey, but rather “sweet” grilled stuff, that is right on the money.

On the pricing front—very reasonable…a full rack of baby back ribs with garlic toast and 2 sides goes for $15.95…a 1/2 chicken with garlic toast and 2 sides $12.95.

On the service side—very pleasant and efficient waitstaff.

Like I said before, 80 seats, looks better than a Hard Rock Cafe, real good food, real good prices, real good service, lousy location. Hey! Nicko and Rick, you got a great concept here…I just hope that people “find” you.

One final thought, you might like to check www.ironmaiden.com and www.myspace.com/mcbraindamge and read about Nicko and Rick’s music and bandmates. Just so you know, Nicko-is considered by many, to be one of the top rock drummers of all-time.

I really enjoyed Rock N Roll Ribs.

The joint is open 7-days a week 11am-10pm.

* The Dazzling DelRays.

A recent e-mail received by Jeff Eats…

Jeff,
Long time reader.
Love jeffeats.com.
Maybe you can help me out?
I am looking for a really good local- reasonably priced 50s-70s Rock N Roll/Motown band that can play my husband’s 75th birthday party here in Naples.
We are planning a party for October, 2022 at a country Club and we are expecting 125-150 guests.
Your help and recommendations are greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Brenda C

Brenda C,

About the group:

The Del Rays perform the best of doo wop, classic rock, beach and motown. With their musical roots in careers that began in the 1960s, the band can get any crowd singing and on their feet. Their repertoire includes Elvis, the Temptations, Smokey Robinson and the Miracles, the Beatles, the Rascals, Four Seasons, Beach Boys, The Coasters and all your favorites. Over the years the band members have appeared in shows with Little Anthony and the Imperials, Jay and the Americans, the Boxtops, America, Johnny Maestro and the Brooklyn Bridge and many others. With Jim Farese on guitar and vocals, Larry Farese on drums and vocals and Jim Meade on bass and vocals, The DelRays have been entertaining audiences for over 40 years. We were actually going to say 30 years because we felt that would make us seem younger, but it is what it is.

Wish your husband a very happy birthday,

Jeff Eats

***** Flakowitz of Boynton, 7410 West Boynton Beach Boulevard, Boynton Beach, Florida 33437 (561) 742-4144.

Let’s see…back on May 8, 2009 I did a writeup on a “New York Style” bagel-deli joint named, Flakowitz of East Boca. Check that review at your leisure. Basically, I said good for breakfast, not so good for lunch and dinner. Anyway…I’m not sure of the politics or business here, but from what I gather, over the years/and currently, there are and continue to be a number of Flakowitz joints in South Florida that were/are owned by different people. So…Flakowitz of Boynton is not affiliated with any other Flakowitz.

That said…this review is about FLAKOWITZ of BOYNTON. You can check the joint’s website at www.flakowitz.com for menu/prices.

Flakowitz of Boynton is one of the best “bagel-deli” joints that I have eaten in South Florida. Very good bagles. Delicious appetizing. Very good deli meats. Large portions. Very reasonable prices.

If your game is “bagel-deli” joints…Flakowitz is for you. I recently did breakfast and dinner…like I said, very good bagels (did an “everything” and “poppy”) and a delicious–western. Tried the corned beef, pastrami, brisket, tuna salad and stuffed cabbage…top-notch for a bagel-deli. Also, really enjoyed the matzoh ball soup and roast chicken.

Flakowitz is open 7 days a week 7am-7:45pm.

***** Father’s Day- Sunday, June 18, 2017- Tropical Acres Steakhouse.

For some strange reason- right now, some of you guys are wondering where Daughter Jeff Eats and Son Jeff Eats are taking Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats out to eat on Father’s Day- Sunday, June 18, 2017!

Well wonder no more…

Tropical Acres Steakhouse, 2500 Griffin Road, Fort Lauderdale, Florida 33312, (954) 989-2500.

Real simple tale to tell, semi-upscale steak/seafood joint which has been around since 1949- which gives you one hell of a bang for your buck!

A few reviews ago, we discussed the never-ending search to find “moderately” priced steakhouses (Manero’s 8/28/08 & Raindancer 8/29/08) that serve great food at reasonable prices and have waiters-waitresses who don’t treat you like crap…say hello to Tropical Acres which has been in business since 1949. Checkout this joint’s website at www.tropicalacres.com for menu/prices/details.

Tropical Acres has terrific food…steaks, seafood, not to mention a handful of Italian dishes. Great wait-staff…and prices that are something like 50% less than those charged by the Robber Barons…they and you know who they are. The joint is just fancy enough to warrant your throwing on a pair of long-pants, but I think that shorts won’t get you “shown” the door.

Like I said before, the joint has been around since 1949, so just maybe it has been doing something right. Tropical Acres is open 7 days a week from 4:30pm-10pm…please note that it is closed on Sundays, July-October.
