***** Greek Spice Grill, 2103 East Commercial Boulevard, Fort Lauderdale, 33308, (954) 900-4773.
Got a real good fast food- order/pickup at the counter, Greek joint for you guys- Greek Spice Grill in Fort Lauderdale.
You guys and Jeff Eats both know that down here in sunny Florida- fast food gyro joints are literally a dime a dozen- with something like every eigth strip center having one! Some are real good, some are good, some are just ok and some just plain out suck! With that in mind, I’m telling you guys, that Greek Spice Grill is real good. If you’re looking for delicious food, big portions for cheap money and super pleasant service- this joint is definitely gonna work for you!
Yesterday, four business associates (who swear by Greek Spice Grill) told Jeff Eats about the joint and treated me to lunch- and like I just said, delicious food, big portions for cheap money and super pleasant service!
To wrap (pun intended) things up for you guys, Greek Spice Grill is open 7 days a week 11am-10pm, it’s in a strip center and you can check menu/prices/info at greekspicegrill.com.
* Today- Saturday, February 9th, 2019 Is Both National Bagel Day & National Pizza Day!
As far as Jeff Eats is concerned, every day is National Bagel Day and National Pizza Day.
Where will you guys be celebrating?

A recent e-mail received by Jeff Eats…
Hey Jeff,
You beat me and my husband down to Florida from Brooklyn by 27 years. We just moved into the Saint Andrews Country Club in Boca Raton. We are looking for a really good Chinese joint in the area that serves up delicious (as you call it) Brooklyn Jewish American Chinese Food. How about a name or two? By the way I’m a graduate of Midwood HS class of 67 and my husband graduated from Lincoln High School in 1964.
Thanks,
Laura Solomon

***** China Gardens Restaurant, 14400 Military Trail, Delray Beach, Florida 33484 (561) 498-5226.
A number of you guys e-mailed about a “mom & pop Chinese” joint…China Gardens Restaurant, telling me about how good the food was, blah, blah blah. Anyway… last night I gave this joint a shot and “right-you-were”…the food is absolutely delicious.
China Gardens Restaurant is as you would expect, a “hole in the wall” located in a non-descript small South Florida shopping center. Guaranteed (unless you are a recent arrival from Mars) you know exactly what the decor is…what the menu is…and what the price-points and “specials” are.
Now let’s talk food…like I said before, DELICIOUS. Now for the official-results of my “taste test”….wonton soup (A), egg drop soup (A), hot & sour soup (A), egg roll (B+), pan fried dumplings (B+), sweet & sour pork (A+), chicken egg foo young (A), sizzling steak (A), shrimp with vegetables (A), shrimp with lobster sauce (A), roast pork fried rice (B+)…
Now I may-be going out on a limb here, but…my money says that China Gardens Restaurant is probably better than your favorite neighborhood-Chinese joint. Let me go one step further, China Gardens could “make it” in New York City’s Chinatown.
Based on my first outing, I will definitely be back for a second round.
China Gardens Restaurant is open Monday-Saturday 11am-10pm and Sunday 2pm-10pm.

***** 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.
First told you guys about Nick Di Paola’s upcoming Boca Black Box- Friday (2/8/19-8pm) and Saturday (2/9/19 7pm & 9pm) shows on 1/3/19. Just checked the box-office (bocablackbox.com) and goldstar.com (discount tickets) and there are a handful of real good tickets left for all 3 shows. I’m thinking SRO when all is said and done, so if you wanna go and haven’t yet gotten tickets- time to make your move. Trust Jeff Eats on this one, this guy Nick Di Paola puts on an absolutely great show!

Nick Di Paola In this day of watered down comedy Nick Di Paolo’s brutally honest performances remind us of what great stand up should be – funny, socially relevant and a little bit reckless. His strong political opinions and razor wit make him a perfect fit for talk radio. He hosted his own shows on New York’s 92.3 Free FM, “The Nick Di Paolo Show” on SiriusXM, co-hosted “The Nick & Artie Show” and currently hosts “The Nick Di Paolo Podcast”. He has performed on The Tonight Show, Late Night with David Letterman, Jimmy Kimmel Live, and Conan O’ Brien. He was twice nominated for an Emmy for his writing on HBO’s The Chris Rock Show. He has also had three half hour standup specials on Comedy Central, a Showtime Special “Raw Nerve”, a self released special “Another Senseless Killing” and most recently “Inflammatory”. He was one of the stars on Tough Crowd with Colin Quinn and a stand out on many Comedy Central Roasts. Not limited to stand-up, radio and writing, he has had acting roles on FX’s Louie, Inside Amy Schumer, The Sopranos, Cop Show and CK’s critically acclaimed Horace and Pete as well as many other sitcoms.
