Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats have seen the Blues Brothers Soul Band a number of times and I’m telling you guys that- the band puts on an absolutely terrific show. In addition to covering all of The Blues Brothers’ movie-music the band also- plays loads of other 50s and 60s hit records.

Jeff Eats, Mrs. Jeff Eats and two other couples got plans to catch the band at the Seminole Casino Coconut Creek-starting at 8pm…our “plan” also includes eating dinner before the show- around 6pm at Barone’s La Pizzeria (which is literally 3-minutes away from the casino) before heading over to see the Blues Brothers Soul Band in action!

***** Barone’s La Pizzeria, 5632 West Sample Road, Margate, Florida 33073 (954) 968-4396.

La Pizzeria is a “Mom & Pop—red sauce” pizza joint located in Margate.
You can check its menu/prices at www.lapizzeriamargate.com.

You know and I know that “Mom & Pop” pizza joints are a dime a dozen-down here in old South Florida. I think the way it works…the strip center landlord first signs Publix, then Walgreens, then a Chinese takeout, then a pizza joint, then a dry cleaners…then a —-(you fill in the blanks)….then half of the businesses go bust…

Anyway, the other evening, I gave Barone’s La Pizzeria a shot- and I gotta tell you, the food is real-good. My party did pizza, shrimp scampi, veal parmigiana, meat lasagna, chicken & shrimp alfredo, penne ala vodka—and like I just said, real good.

As you know– over the past few years, old Jeff Eats has eaten-in his fair share of “mom & pop” Italian joints…and, to be perfectly honest with you, most of them barely get the job done, but then again, that’s the nature of the beast…”cheap is cheap”….”you get what you pay for”…”one if by land, 2 if by sea.” Trust me on this one, Barone’s La Pizzeria is REAL GOOD…if you live or work near the joint, I highly recommend that you give it a try.

By the way, Barone’s La Pizzeria is right across Sample Road from the Seminole Casino Coconut Creek and is maybe a 3-minute drive (west) from the Festival Flea Market on Sample Road.

Barone’s La Pizzeria is open Sunday-Thursday 11am-10pm and Friday-Saturday 11am-11pm

***** Divine Donuts, 9131 College Parkway, Fort Myers, Florida 33919, 239) 672-8390.

Got a real good donut joint for you guys to checkout- Divine Donuts in Fort Myers.

Real simple tale to tell- something like 40 different types of donuts/ hot breakfast sandwiches/ bagels/ coffees, open 6am-2pm 7 days a week, order-pickup at counter, handful of tables/counter seating.

Earlier this morning (7:30am)-Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats “discovered” Divine Donuts and I gotta tell you guys real delicious stuff!

Let me wrap Divine Donuts up- by saying, if this joint was a whole lot closer to Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats’ Boca Raton abode, we’d be real steady customers!

You guys can check menu/prices/info at mydivinedonuts.com.

This contest started on 8/19/19. This contest has a winner.

I’d be doing you guys a great disservice by just picking one flavor! Trust Jeff Eats on this one, this joint’s- made in house- ice cream/sorbet absolutely kills!

***** Tipsy Cow, 25261 Chamber of Comerce Road, Bonita Springs 34135, (239) 949-7172.

Found a real good ice cream joint for you guys to checkout- Tipsy Cow in Bonita Springs.

With the understanding that Jeff Eats and for that matter Mrs. Jeff Eats have never met an ice cream cone nor an ice cream cup that we didn’t like- I gotta tell you that the other day we had home-made ice cream at a joint named, Tipsy Cow and it was off the chart delicious!

Real simple concept, home-made ice cream/sorbet, order-pickup at counter, rotating flavors, inside table and counter seating/ outside table seating.

You guys and Jeff Eats both know that that this Jeff Eats’ food “reviewing” gig is purely a subjective game…you know, what I like, you may hate and vice versa! With that in mind, I’m telling you guys that this Tipsy Cow joint’s ice cream ran circles around most of the ice cream Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats have had down here in sunny Florida during the past 26 years. Like I just said- subjective call…

You guys can checkout tipsycowfl.com for menu/prices/info,

The Tipsy Cow is open Tuesday-Saturday 2pm-10pm, closed Monday.

* Way Beyond Bagels Buys Palm Beach Bagel Bakery & Restaurant.

Here’s a scoop for you guys, Way Beyond Bagels located in Delray Beach recently acquired the Palm Beach Bagel Bakery & Restaurant location at 9858 Clint Moore Road, Boca Raton, Florida 33496. Literally as Jeff Eats types this “scoop” a remodel is underway at the store- which will be renamed Way Beyond Bagels! The full service restaurant (operated by Way Beyond Bagels) is open- during the renovation! Just so you know, this “deal” will leave 2 Palm Beach Bagel joints open- 1200 Yamato Road, Boca Raton and 533 Clematis Street, West Pam Beach (palmbeachbagel.net).

Printed down below are previous Jeff Eats’ tales- about both Way Beyond Bagels and Palm Beach Bagel!

If Jeff Eats was a betting man, I’d bet you guys a buck that the new Way Beyond Bagels’ joint- will be an absolute homerun-goldmine! That’s usually what happens when you make outrageously delicious stuff!

***** Way Beyond Bagels, 16850 Jog Road, Delray Beach, Florida 33446, (561) 638-1320.

Way Beyond Bagels makes some of the best bagels and bialys in all of South Florida. In addition, its appetizing…like tuna salad, chicken salad are absolutely superb.

Check menu/prices at www.waybeyondbagels.com.

This joint opened about 5 years ago as a take-out which had a few outdoor tables. Based on its immediate and overwhelming success, Way Beyond Bagels rented the store next to its shop and created a cafeteria-type setup where you can eat the stuff that you purchase at the counter. In addition to all types of bagels, bialys, breads, rolls and cold appetizing, Way Beyond Bagels also has hot breakfast items and meats.

This joint is open 7 days a week for breakfast and lunch. On Saturday and Sunday it is absolutely “zoosville.” I am telling you that Way Beyond Bagels’ stuff is as good as it gets down here in South Florida…that’s why it is always jammed with eat-in and take-out orders.

***** Palm Beach Bagel Bakery & Restaurant, 9858 Clint Moore Road, Boca Raton, Florida 33496 (561) 883-3535.

***** Mike’s Galley, 2514 Sout Atlantic Avenue, Daytona Beach Shores, Florida 32118, (386) 756-2020.

Got a real good breakfast-lunch diner for you guys to checkout- Mike’s Galley in Daytona Beach Shores.

Easy tale to tell- open 7 days a week 7am-2pm, table/booth/counter seating, reasonably priced menu loaded with breakfast stuff/ burgers/ salads/ sandwiches/ entrees/ desserts (with many items baked in house), full liquor bar, some kind of corny-dated nautical themed decor.

Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats literally just finished eating breakfast at Mike’s Galley and I gotta tell you guys that this joint’s food and service were right on the money! Straight-up…if you’re a diner “fan”- Mike’s Galley will- absolutely positively work for you!

Just a heads-up, Mike’s Galley bakes-up cinnamon buns and pecan buns that kill. Be smart and make sure you order them! One other thing, the joint’s donuts ain’t no slouches either!

A recent e-mail received by Jeff Eats…

Jeff,
My husband and I just retired and moved (8 days ago) from Ditmas Avenue & Ocean Parkway in Brooklyn to the Altis Of Boca Raton, 5500 North Military Trail in Boca Raton. Both of us are 68 and like you, were born in Brooklyn. Heard about your site from a new neighbor. Question for you, What’s the best Pizza joint which is close to Altis where we can pickup and get delivery of ‘real’ New York Pizza?
Thanks,
TR

Absolutely dynamite pizza and Renzo’s looks, smells, and has the vibe of the neighborhood Brooklyn pizza joints that you guys grew up on…

***** Renzo’s Cafe & Pizzeria, 1906 Clint Moore Road, Boca Raton, Florida 33496 (561) 994-0170.

In Boca, there are a handful of joints that have the name RENZO’s in their “title.” Just so there is no misunderstanding here—I’m talking about the Renzo’s Cafe & Pizzeria that’s right across from Calusa Elementary School on Clint Moore Road.

Okay…you can eat in (there a handful of tables inside and outside)–but, this is basically a takeout pizza joint. A “what you’d expect” red-sauce menu—appetizers, soups, salads, subs, pastas, calzones, pizza, meat-seafood-chicken entrees. You can check the menu/prices at www.renzoswest.com.

Tried this joint the other night and it is really good. “Sampled” a plain old large pizza, veal parm, chicken marsala, linguini-white clam sauce…like, I said really good—especially enjoyed the pizza which was thin-crispy-sweet sauce.

This is a neighborhood joint.

So you WEST Bocaratonians- now know about a really good joint for eat-in/takeout…that is open 7 days a week for lunch and dinner.

***** BurgerFi, 4343 North Ocean Drive, Lauderdale by the Sea 33308, (954) 489-0110.

Walked into this free-standing “fast food” burger joint last Saturday night—and immediately new that I was going to love it. The easiest way to describe BurgerFi–Shake Shack (see 8/1/10 review) meets Five Guys Famous Burgers (see 11/2/06 review) with indoor and outdoor “picnic table seating.”

Let me make this real simple…one of the best fast-food cheeseburgers and hand cut fries that I’ve had in a very long time.

At this stage of the proceedings, check www.burgerfi.com for menu/prices/photos.

I am telling you, if burgers and fries are your game, you are absolutely gonna love this joint.

As a 1949 “baby” I think I know a thing or two about the fast-food-burger industry. Trust me on this, old Jeff Eats has eaten his fair share of burgers and fries.

I think I know exactly what BurgerFi is “trying” to do here…The joint’s decor looks like a roadside fast-food burger joint circa 1950’s/1960’s with some-modern touches…throw in “gourmet” burgers and “upscale” fries-other stuff…and BurgerFi’s got all of the bases covered. It’s cooler looking than Five Guys but cheaper than the “upscale” full service-burger restaurants that are currently America’s latest craze.

Check Burgerfi’s site, there are a handful of pictures which will give you some idea as to what I am yapping about here.

Like I said before, if you like burgers, fries, hot dogs, custard…you’ll love this joint.

BurgerFi is open 7 days a week 11am-1am.
