Trust Jeff Eats on this one, Amici’s wings rank right up there with the best that Jeff Eats has had in Florida!

By the way, the joint’s LEMON PEPPER WINGS ($13.50- 10 pieces) are no slouches either!

***** Amici’s Pizzeria Cafe, 4800 West Hillsboro Boulevard, Coconut Creek, Florida 33073, (954) 428-4911.

Found a real good “mom & pop” Italian red sauce joint for you guys to checkout- Amici’s Pizzeria Cafe in Coconut Creek.

Real simple tale to tell- full boat menu of reasonably priced- appetizers/ salads/ pizzas/ pastas/ hot & cold subs/ entrees/ calzones/ strombolis, something like 8 tables inside/ 2 outside!

Based on a terrific recommendation from long time Jeff Eats’ reader Ellen G, yesterday- Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats gave Amici’s Pizzeria Cafe a shot for lunch and I gotta tell you guys that Ellen G really came through for us-(actually Amici’s did the coming through) with the joint’s house salad, chicken parm sub, 2-New York Style cheese slices and Sicilian slice all being right on the money!

Amici’s Pizzeria & Cafe is open, Sunday noon-8:00pm, Monday-Thursday 11:00am-9pm, Friday-Saturday 11:00am-10pm.

Like I said 2 seconds ago- house salad/ chicken parm sub/ a couple of cheese slices/ a Sicilian slice- not exactly what you would call an in-depth taste test…with that in mind, Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats are definitely looking forward to another outing at Amici’s.

Our company was founded back in 1954. Oscar Abeles and his entrepreneurial nephew, Leopold Heymann decided it was time to go into the hot dog making business.

Since the day they first opened, Abeles & Heymann dedicated themselves to producing the most delectable, premium quality, gourmet kosher hot dog and provisions.

For over 60 years we have continued following the founding family’s standards for quality, authenticity and mission to provide the finest kosher provisions available. Customer satisfaction is of the utmost importance. We provide customers with the ultimate experience in quality and service. Our customers range from major club stores, supermarket chains, stadiums, and now online consumers!

Latest Review: 11/20/15

Jeff Eats has been getting stuff from “take-out only” Chef Tai’s for something like 10 years.

Over the years, I’ve ordered tons of things like- egg rolls, bbq ribs, pan fried dumplings, roast pork fried rice, sweet & sour pork, pepper steak and I gotta tell you guys, I can’t recall even one outing where the food didn’t work!

If you live, work or play in Chef Tai’s Boca Raton neighborhood, this is a real good joint to know about when your’e looking for delicious Brooklyn Jewish American Chinese Food circa 1957!

Jeff Eats’ 11/30/2010 Chef Tai’s “review” is reprinted down below.

For those of you who may not be familiar with Chef Tai’s…it’s a “mom & pop” takeout only Chinese joint, located in a big old-huge crappy strip center and it makes delicious stuff.

***** Chef Tai’s, 4810 Northwest Boca Raton Boulevard, Boca Raton, Florida 33431, (561) 998-7887.

Chef Tai’s is a Chinese takeout-only joint in Boca Raton…surprise-surprise (courtesy Gomer Pyle), it is located in a “bombed-out” shopping center- that you probably wouldn’t drive into in a million years. That said…Chef Tai’s makes some delicious stuff. I heard about Chef Tai’s about 5 months ago– have gotten food four times…haven’t been disappointed even once.

Delicious- egg rolls, fried dumplings, bbq ribs, general tso’s chicken, roast pork fried rice, shrimp with black bean sauce, pepper steak.

You can check menu/prices at www.bocamenus.com.

Based on Jeff Eat’s patent-pending “Brooklyn Chinese Food Taste Test”- I gotta give Chef Tai’s a top-notch rating. Trust me on this, the food is really good.

Chef Tai’s is open Monday-Saturday 11am-9pm, closed on Sunday

***** Eagle Grill & Oyster Bar, 4636 Jog Road, Greenacres, Florida 33467, (561) 964-0900.

For our purposes Jeff Eats is gonna call the Eagle Grill & Oyster Bar in Greenacres “an out of sight, out of mind” terrific sports bar!

I first told you guys about the Eagle Grill on June 30, 2013- and for some unknown-reason Jeff Eats and for that matter Mrs. Jeff Eats literally “forgot” that the joint even existed! Just between you guys and Jeff Eats, Mrs. Jeff Eats and I have eaten there a couple of times since June 30, 2013- that said, based on last night’s dinner of crab cakes/bbq babyback ribs we haven’t been going (back) there enough! The food absolutely killed!

Let me wrap this package up for you guys, if you live or work anywhere near the Eagle Grill & Oyster Bar- then you gotta give it a shot! It’s really that good!

***** Eagle Grill & Oyster Bar, 4636 Jog Road, Greenacres, Florida 33467, (561) 964-0900.

Got something really-good for you guys…Eagle Grill & Oyster Bar in Greenacres. For our purposes, we’re gonna call this restaurant an “American Style”-“Sports Bar” joint.

Let me start by saying, that Jeff Eats absolutely loved the Eagle Grill.

For what it’s worth…last night, Jeff Eats, Mrs. Jeff Eats and our friends Eric and Ellen (Jeff Eats knows Ellen since he was 13 and she was 12) tried the Eagle Grill which had been recommended the night before by our mutual friends Norman and Nancy who live in Delray Beach…confused?

Anyway…

The four of us (that’s Jeff Eats, Mrs. Jeff Eats, Eric and Ellen who Jeff Eats knows since he was 13) drove “up” to Greenacres from Boca Raton and found the Eagle Grill in a small shopping center…from the outside, in a million years—the four of us never figured that inside- it was a cool looking neighborhood wood bar/booths/table seating joint with loads of flat screen tvs. By the way, when we got there around 8:15pm–every seat (I’m thinking 125 give or take) in the house including those at the bar were taken—it took us about 10 minutes to catch a booth.

Eagle’s menu has tons of appetizers, salads, sandwiches, burgers, wings, pastas, meat/chicken/seafood entrees, desserts…Just so you know, the joint is heavy on the seafood-side of the ledger, but don’t-worry, there is plenty of non fish stuff, so every-one in your party is gonna find what to eat. At this stage of the game, you can check www.eagle-grill.com for menu/prices/photos.

Now listen closely…Eagle Grill’s food isn’t just good, it is outrageously good. Eric ordered the crab cake entrée ($25-2 crab cakes/2 sides) and scarfed those suckers down as if he was Mahata Gandhi breaking a fast. Jeff Eats did a rack of baby-back ribs ($16- two sides), Mrs. Jeff Eats did blackened mahi ($12.50- two sides), Ellen did a shrimp po boy ($8.50 fried shrimp/lettuce/tomato/mayo and one side), the table shared steamed mussels fra diavlo ($8.50) and gumbo ($10). Like I said, 4 seconds ago…the food was outrageously good.

Let me wrap this story up…

Terrific food—super pleasant service—very reasonable prices (for example–from 3pm-9pm the Eagle offers 9 dinners priced at $9.99 a piece).

In baseball parlance, the Eagle Grill is a grand-slam.

For you guys who need a “drop” of clarification. Ellen is married to Eric, Jeff knows Ellen since he was 13 and she was 12, Norman is married to Nancy and vice versa, Nancy and Norman use to live in Boca Raton but now live in Delray Beach but are thinking of moving to Manhattan but aren’t sure on that just yet, the only tv sets currently being manufactured are flat screen tvs so it’s no longer necessary to call them flat screen tvs-just tvs will suffice and a po boy is the “same” as a sub, hero, blimpie, grinder, hoagie…and your tee shirt/shorts ensembles will work beautifully at the Eagle.

Eagle Grill is open Sunday noon-9:30pm, Monday-Thursday 11am-9:30pm, Friday-Saturday 11am-10:30pm.

Finally, if Norman and Nancy decide to move to Manhattan, Jeff Eats will update you guys.

***** Ah-Beetz New Haven Pizza, 15200 South Jog Road, Unit A3, Delray Beach, Florida 33446, (561) 908-2466.

Got an absolutely dynamite coal fired pizza joint for you guys to checkout, Ah-Beetz New Haven Pizza in Delray Beach.

Real simple tale to tell, last week Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats “discovered” (1 eat-in/ 1- takeout) Ah-Beetz New Haven Pizza (which opened something like 3 months ago) and its food totally- blew us away! The no-frills joint has 2- tables (for 4) inside and a handful of tables outside. Reasonably priced pizzas/ calzones/ salads/ wings menu.

Now, you guys know, or should know by know- that this food reviewing “gig” is purely a subjective call…what I like, you may hate and vice versa!

With that in mind, I gotta tell you that the coal oven-pizzas/ calzone/ chicken wings, salads that we ordered- rank right-up there with the best that we’ve eaten here in Florida!

Trust Jeff Eats when I tell you, Ah-Beetz New Haven Pizza is an absolute must try joint!

You guys can check menu/prices/info at ah-beetz.com.

Ah-Beetz New Haven Pizza is open Tuesday-Saturday 11am-9pm/ Sunday 1pm-8pm, closed on Monday.

* Humor!

An Englishman, taking a road trip through the US, notices he’s low on fuel, pulls into the first gas station he sees. The attendant walks out and approaches the car.

“How can I help you, sir?”

And in a posh voice, the man says, “I’m low on petrol; please top off the tank.”

With an odd look, the guy begins to fill ’er up.

The Englishman then says, “Also, while I’m here could you open the bonnet and check the oil?”

Now looking slightly peeved but still saying nothing, the serviceman does as requested.

“Oh, yes,” says the Brit, “It appears my windscreen needs a good cleaning. Would you mind terribly-”

Unable to hold his tongue any more the attendant angrily snaps, “Alright, that’s enough! It’s not Petrol, it’s gasoline! It’s not a bonnet, it’s a hood! And it’s not a windscreen, it’s a windshield! We invented cars, so you call them by their American names!”

And with that wonderful, charming, stiff-upper-lip UK wit, the Englishman calmly replies, “Well yes, my friend, you may have invented the automobile, but we invented the language!”

Trust Jeff Eats on this one, dynamite pork fried dumplings!

If you guys can keep a secret, this week’s DISH OF THE WEEK “shout-out” was a toss-up between the joint’s Pork Fried Dumplings and its BBQ Spare Ribs ($12.95- 6 ribs).

A recent e-mail received by Jeff Eats…

Jeff,

My husband and I just moved into _________________ a 55+ community in Boynton Beach. We are originally from Brooklyn and we are looking for a really good Chinese Restaurant not too far of a drive from our new home. Can you give us a good one? Thanks, MKA

MKA,

Got a real good “one” for you and depending on how fast you drive, at the most it’s 10 minutes away from your community.

Welcome to Florida and thanks for reading,

***** Kingsburg Asian Cuisine, 9819 South Military Trail, Boynton Beach, Florida 33436, (561) 734-8255.

Got a real good Chinese joint for you…Kingsburg Asian Cuisine in Boynton Beach. Don’t let the “Asian Cuisine” in the joint’s name throw you off, Kingsburg is a Chinese restaurant- with a pretty good handful of Korean, Vietnamese and Thai dishes thrown into the menu-mix!

The other night, Jeff Eats, Mrs. Jeff Eats and another couple ate dinner at Kingsburg…not exactly sure as to how long Kingsburg been around- but when I squinted (no insult or pun intended) my eyes, I’m thinking that I could have been sitting in a Brooklyn Chinese Restaurant in 1957…loads of booths, big round tables for about 100!

Dishes ordered:
Wonton Soup
Hot & Sour Soup
Fried Pork Dumplings
BBQ Spare Ribs
Egg Rolls
Roast Pork Fried Rice
General Tso’s Chicken
Shrimp With Lobster Sauce
Mu Shu Pork
Shrimp Lo Mein
Pepper Steak

…and I gotta tell you, everything was right on the money! Now I could- break things down for you, by telling you that Jeff Eats has had better Egg Rolls and Pepper Steak…and that I really enjoyed the General Tso’s Chicken and Shrimp Lo Mein- but you guys know that this food-reviewing business is purely a subjective game, what I like, you may hate and vice versa!-so let’s leave it at, I would definitely eat at Kingsburg again- because all four of us (in case you forgot- Jeff Eats, Mrs. Jeff Eats and another couple)-all agreed that the food worked, the prices were reasonable, the portions were huge, the service was pleasant and the décor when we squinted our eyes (no pun or insult intended) made us feel like we were back in a Brooklyn Chinese restaurant in 1957!

You can check menu/prices at kingsurgfl.com.

Kingsburg Asian Cuisine is open Monday-Saturday 11am-10pm, Sunday 11am-9:30pm (I guess “they” want to get home in time to watch The Good Wife).

* 2nd Annual National Cinema Day – Sunday, August 27th, 2023- All Movie Tickets $4.

Just trying to keep you guys in the “loop”…

Sunday, August 27th, 2023 is National Cinema Day.

The concept is real easy to follow- ALL TICKETS AT 3,000 participating movie theaters will “only” cost $4 (by the way, last year the promotion was $3 per ticket- but that’s a whole nother story for another day).

If this works for you- check with “your” theater to make sure that it’s participating in the promotion.
