Jeff Eats first told you guys about Broadway Bagels way-back on April 1, 2015…
Long story short, yesterday- Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats ate breakfast there and I gotta tell you- it’s too bad that this joint isn’t closer to our Boca Raton home because if it was, we would definitely be real steady customers!

Got a good bagel joint for you guys…Broadway Bagels in Plantation which has been around for something like 33 years.
Jeff Eats and a couple of buddies recently ate breakfast there- and I gotta tell you that Broadway Bagels’ deli omelette ($7.99-corned beef/pastrami/Swiss cheese), blueberry pancakes ($6.99) and corned beef hash ($7.99) were all-right on the money! Throw in REAL GOOD sesame, everything and onion bagels- and Jeff Eats would definitely do a second-visit! Just so we are straight with each other, Broadway Bagels isn’t curing cancer or nothing here- the food is good-with its bagels (made the right way- hand rolled/ boiled/ baked) being the real “keeper” of this tale!-so if you go- don’t forget THE BAGELS!

Broadway Bagels is open 7 days a week 6:30am-3pm.

***** Pubgrill, 18503 South Dixie Highway, Cutler Bay, Florida 33157, (305) 253-4996.
For our purposes let’s call Pubgrill a neighborhood sports-bar (handful of beers on tap and bottled craft beers)…tvs, booth/table seating.
Pubgrill is open Monday-Friday 11am-11pm, Saturday- Sunday 8am-11pm (breakfast is served).
Jeff Eats, Mrs. Jeff Eats and another couple recently gave this joint a shot for dinner and I gotta tell you, Pubgrill’s food absolutely killed!
Trust me when I tell you, that the French onion burger, spicy honey mustard grilled wings, garlic bbq grilled wings, French onion soup, blackened mahi on onion challah bread, fried calamari, Caesar salad, philly cheesesteak sub (Pubgrill calls it a hoagie), truffle mac n’cheese, French fries, mashed potatoes- were all delicious…
Pubgrill is definitely not serving-up typical-standard sports’ bar stuff…somebody (somebodies?) in its kitchen really knows how to cook!
Like many of the joints that Jeff Eats “finds”- “tries”- whatever you wanna call it- this Pubgrill joint is a loooong-way from my Boca Raton home- All I can tell you- if this joint was in my neighborhood, Jeff Eats would definitely be a real steady customer. The food, service, prices, vibe were all right on the money!

***** Chewie’s Kitchen, 9952 Hutchison Boulevard, 200, Panama City Beach, Florida 32407, (850) 234-3248.
Chewie’s Kitchen’s website describes the restaurant as- “Housemade Sandwiches, Soups, Salads & Weekend Brunch.”
Real simple concept- order at counter/food delivered to booth/table/counter seating, open Tuesday-Thursday 11am-8pm/ Friday 11am-3pm/ Saturday-Sunday 9am-3pm/ closed Monday.
Something like 93 minutes ago, Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats “discovered” Chewie’s Kitchen and I gotta tell you that the joint’s food absolutely blew us away.
Let me wrap Chewie’s Kitchen up by saying- reasonable prices and dynamite food make- Chewie’s an absolute home-run…

***** Ruven’s, 13800 Jog Road, Delray Beach, Florida 33484, (561) 499-9003.
Back on February 20, 2011 Jeff Eats told you guys about Ruven’s a New York Kosher Style Deli that had just opened for business in the San Marco Shopping Center in Delray Beach. To make a long story short– Ruven’s opened in a spot where two bagel/delis had previously failed. I guess, Ruven’s owner, Steve Ratinetz was betting on real good food and “three times the charm” to make Ruven’s a winner…
Anyway…
Here it is 3-years later and Ruven’s is “sort-a” still around. Now follow me, a few months ago, Ratinetz moved Ruven’s…3 maybe- 4 bays down-into a store formerly occupied by Lenny’s New York Grille.
Anyway…
No doubt in Jeff Eats’ mind…the ‘new” Ruven’s is now in a much better spot–that being right next door to Publix. Same food and service-with the “new” Ruven’s featuring a really cool “lower NYC east-side” circa 1940-1950 decor. Having eaten in Lenny’s numerous times, I can tell you-that Ratinetz did a great job in combining his own decorative ideas with Lenny’s decor remnants.
Just wanted to re-introduce you guys to an old-favorite of mine.
Now…Does Ruven’s qualify under the “three times the charm” rule?
The original February 20, 2011 review is reprinted below.
***** Ruven’s, 13800 Jog Road, Delray Beach, Florida 33484, (561) 499-9003.
Bingo!— Home Run!
If you are looking for a terrific-New York Kosher Style Deli—your wish has been answered. Say hello, to Ruven’s which opened last Wednesday in Delray Beach. For right now, the joint is open 7 days a week from 8am-3pm—look for “dinner” to be added sometime in late March.
Just some background info… “this” Ruven’s is owned by Steve Ratinetz who in the mid 1990′s-2003 owned/operated Ruven’s in Plainview, New York—which was an absolutely terrific kosher deli. My January 25, 2011 Ruven’s of Long Island writeup- has more “history” if you are a history-buff.
You know and I know, that South Florida has more bagel delis than you can shake a stick at…just for the record, Ruven’s is not and I repeat the word NOT, a bagel deli. For sure, it has the requisite “500″ types of bagels, bialys and onion boards—that said, this joint is all about pastrami- corned beef- brisket- turkey- stuffed derma- potato pancakes- blintzes, chopped liver-stuffed cabbage-fried kreplach-matzo ball soup—that rival the best stuff served in NYC, Chicago…or for that matter, anywhere that you formerly called home.
If there is one thing that Jeff Eats knows—it’s good deli.
This afternoon, in no particular order– I did a “taste test” of pastrami, corned beef, brisket, turkey off the bone, matzo ball soup, cabbage soup, stuffed derma, potato pancakes, chopped liver. fried kreplach…absolutely delicious.
Based on Jeff Eats’ “maiden outing”—I’m putting Ruven’s right up there with South Florida’s best New York Kosher Style Delis. Throw-in huge portions at reasonable prices…and I can’t see Ruven’s not quickly developing an enormous following.
You now know about a terrific deli—this one is a keeper!

***** Ben’s of Boca Raton, 9942 Clint Moore Road, Boca Raton, Florida 33496–(561) 470-9963.
Ben’s is a KOSHER DELI. This joint opened about 2 years ago and every time that I have been there, there have been lines waiting to dine in and take-out. You native New Yorker’s probably know, that this is the same Ben’s which currently has 6 Long Island locations and 1 Manhattan spot.
DELI is a very funny thing…some people like fatty corned beef and some have to have it extra lean… The point to be made, is that you will have to try Ben’s and decide for yourself as to whether or not you like-love-hate this joint’s food.
Last night I had a great Rumanian Steak smothered in sauteed onions, a piece of stuff derma and a potato pancake. The derma’s gravy was a bit salty, but everything else that I ordered was delicious. I also “sampled” a hot-dog with mustard and sauerkrat, corned beef, brisket, turkey off the bone, pastrami and tongue…all absolutely perfect.
Ben’s is open 7 days a week for lunch and dinner. Like I said before, “deli” is a personal call, so try this joint and decide for yourself if it’s for you. Personally, I love the joint and try to get there once or twice a month.
