The $10 Gift Cards are good at any Jeremiah’s Italian Ice location (check jeremiahsice.com for locations, menu, info).
Got a real good Italian Ice/Soft Serve Ice Cream/Gelati joint for you guys to checkout, Jeremiah’s Italian Ice in Boca Raton.
Real simple tale to tell, Jeremiah’s is a fast growing Italian Ice franchise (since 2019) which currently has stores spread-out over Florida. Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina, Texas. Three weeks ago, Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff “discovered” Jeremiah’s Boca Raton joint and have been back 5 times since that initial outing. Order/pickup at inside counter/outside walk-up windows, handful of inside/outside tables, reasonably priced- 40 rotating and seasonal Italian Ice flavors/ vanilla-chocolate soft serve/ loads of toppings menu.
Now, just between you and me, I kinda think that I know my Italian Ices and Soft Serve Ice Cream and I’m telling you guys that Jeremiah’s Italian Ice is turning out absolutely delicious stuff!
Like I said a few seconds ago, Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats have been to Jeremiah’s 6 times (between 7:30-9:30pm) and each and every time- there were lines both inside and outside with people waiting to order. In addition, every table inside/ outside was taken. Of interest, all ages were there.
Not sure as to how it all plays out franchise wise, but for right now, the Jeremiah’s (which opened in Boca Raton on June 28th, 2021)) looks like a home-run business!
Checkout jeremiahsice.com for locations/menu/prices/info.
Jeremiah’s Italian Ice is open, Sunday-Thursday noon-10pm, Friday-Saturday noon-11pm.

They perform all your favorite Monkees songs live on stage, including: “Last Train to Clarksville,” “Pleasant Valley Sunday,” “Daydream Believer,” “I’m a Believer,” and many more. In addition to record-perfect renditions of Monkees classics, each performance features a dance-off, a 60’s-themed costume contest, and a unique opportunity for an audience member to come up on stage to be serenaded by “Davy”. The Monkee Men is a new and exciting tribute show created by writer/musician/vocalist Ron McNeil, founder of Emmy Award-winning Beatles tribute band, The Fab Four. The Monkee Men is a band comprised of multi-talented musicians, actors, and singers that have been selected from the best-of-the-best from all around the country.
About The Monkee Men:
HERE WE COME, WALKING DOWN THE STREET! In 1967, The Monkees outsold The Beatles and The Rolling Stones combined. Their TV show won two Emmy Awards and the band produced five multi-platinum albums and six Billboard Top 10 singles including three #1’s. Today, their music continues to enchant audiences worldwide. With the passing of three of the original Monkees, the only way to experience that great music live on stage has been through Micky Dolenz’ ongoing solo tours. Until now.

***** Hyde Park Prime Steakhouse, 601 East Atlantic Avenue, Suite 109- Delray Beach, FLorida 33483, (561) 894-9450.
Got a real good upscale- steakhouse for you guys to check-out, Hyde Park Prime Steakhouse in Delray Beach.
Simple tale to tell. Last night Jeff Eats, Mrs. Jeff Eats and our friends Steve and Susan “discovered” Hyde Park Prime Steakhouse and its food and service were right on the money! Table/booth seating/ full eat at liquor bar, decor wise- unlike many upscale steakhouses that favor dark dreary wood and dim lights Hyde Park is brightly lit by loads of chandeliers with walls covered with all kinds of interesting art -work and photographs, REASONABLY PRICED full boat menu of expected appetizers/ salads/ soups/ steaks/ seafood/ entrees/ sides/ desserts, happy hour, early bird specials.
Let’s wrap-up Hyde Park Prime Steakhouse by saying- it’s an absolute must try! Dynamite Food Priced Right…a waitstaff that knows exactly what it’s doing…
Trust Jeff Eats on this one, unless you are a fancy schmancy person -you will absolutely love this joint! Delicious food and the staff is as pleasant and knowledgeable as can be. On the dress front- I saw a whole bunch of folks in shorts- and I seriously doubt that you will need a second job to pay the bill!

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

* JAY & THE AMERICANS (Mardi Gras Casino, Hallandale Beach)
Just wanted to give you 1960’s Rock N Roll aficionados a heads up…on Tuesday Night, October 15, 2013 one of Rock’s legendary groups -Jay And The Americans will be in concert at the Mardi Gras Casino in Hallandale Beach. Don’t have ticket pricing-yet, but if the Mardi Gras Casino “prices” tickets like it did for its recent -The Lovin’ Spoonful and The Grass Roots’ concerts—don’t worry, you won’t have to get a second job to pay for your seats. By the way, Jeff Eats attended both of those concerts (which were held outdoors in the Grandstand area) and the bands and the casino put on fabulous shows…you just gotta pray for good weather!
Just a drop of history…
JAY AND THE AMERICANS with hits such as “She Cried”–“This Magic Moment”–“Cara Mia”–“Come A Little Bit Closer”-“Walking In The Rain”–“Some Enchanted Evening”–“Only In America” has had three lead singers…John Traynor, Jay Black and Jay Reincke. For what it’s worth, way back when—in 1975 Jay Traynor’s mother was Jeff Eats’ legal secretary when he worked for D’Amato, Costello & Shea in New York City. Now catch this one, Mrs. Jeff Eats when she was 13 years old, baby-sat for Jay Black’s son when Jay lived in Brooklyn, New York. Mrs. Jeff Eats and Jay Black (his real name is David Blatt, but don’t tell anyone) lived in the same apartment building -The Phillip Howard on Flatbush Avenue…and no I can’t tell you what year it was- because Mrs. Jeff Eats would kill me if I did. Sorry, no “history” with Jay Reincke the newest of the bunch -as he is originally from Chicago and Jeff Eats only connection to that City is that his cousin Bobby -a major-heavyweight SEC attorney has lived there since 1975.
Anyway…keep an eye on www.mardigrasfl.com for details.
One final note…check-out Jay And The Americans at www.jayandtheamericans.net. The site has a real-interesting “biography” on the group and its lead singers.
Trust me- when I tell you – that The Old Skool Gang is one of the best Motown tribute acts in the business!

Now, you guys and Jeff Eats both know that this whole food blog “reviewing” situation is purely one big subjective call- you know, what I like, you may hate and vice versa!
With that in mind, yesterday afternoon while shopping at The Fresh Market located at 5540 North Military Trail, Boca Raton, Florida 33496, (561) 994-2221) I came across the below pictured pints of Teo Coffee Cookies & Cream Gelato and decided to give the gelato a shot… Why I bought 2 pints, I really don’t know? But it proved to be a great move- as the gelato was/is absolutely delicious! By the way, if Mrs. Jeff Eats starts a rumor that I thought the gelato was a $5.99 BOGO- deal don’t believe her!
For the record, until yesterday I had never “hearsd” of Teo Gelato- and like I said a couple of seconds ago, its Coffee Cookies & Cream Gelato was/is absolute dynamite!
You guys can check teogelato.com for a list of gelato flavors/ product information/ FLorida retailers.
Got a real good sub joint for you guys to check-out, Salvatore’s Prime Sandwiches in Orlando.
Real simple tale to tell, yesterday afternoon Jeff Eats, Mrs. Jeff Eats and our friends Lee and Rose and Jack and Tina ate lunch at Salvatore’s Prime Sandwiches and its food totally blew us away…just so you guys know, first time for Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats eating there, the other two couples who live in Orlando had eaten there many times.
The setup – order/pickup at counter, no indoor seating/outdoor umbrella bench seating, reasonably priced menu of hot and cold subs.
Let’s wrap-up Salvatore’s Prime Sandwiches by saying- its stuff killed, the priced right sandwiches could choke a horse, the folks running the joint were as pleasant as could be and Lee picked up the check! If this joint was a whole lot closer to Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats’ Boca Raton abode- we would be real steady customers!
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.
