Tasty Wok BBQ & Noodle House (Orlando)

Posted on June 8th, 2017 · Chinese Orlando · 5 Comments »

***** Tasty Wok BBQ & Noodle House, 1246 East Colonial Drive, Orlando, Florida 32803, (407) 896-8988.

Consider this tale a “Public Service Announcement.”

Jeff Eats first told you guys about Tasty Wok BBQ & Noodle House way-back on 2/13/13!

For what it’s worth, I’m kinda thinking that now that it’s SUMMER over the next 3-months, a number of you folks are gonna be visiting the Orlando area for various reasons (vacations, college enrollment, etc.). With that in mind, if you don’t “try” Tasty Wok BBQ & Noodle House, 1246 East Colonial Drive, Orlando, Florida 32803, (407) 896-8988- when you’re in Orlando- you’ll be making a huge mistake!

Trust Jeff Eats on this one, some of the best “real” and Brooklyn Jewish American Chinese Food circa 1957 in Florida!

Just so you know, Jeff Eats, Mrs. Jeff Eats and a couple of friends ate there last Sunday night (6/4/17)- thus the “Public Service Announcement.”

No bs- this Tasty Wok joint could- easily compete with the best Chinese joints in New York City and San Fransico’s- China Towns!

***** Tasty Wok BBQ & Noodle House, 1246 East Colonial Drive, Orlando, Florida 32803, (407) 896-8988.

This is a very simple Chinese food “story.”

Jeff Eats recently tried Tasty Wok BBQ & Noodle House in Orlando and it was absolutely dynamite.

Real simple…this is a bare bones “hole in the wall” joint—ducks hanging from the ceiling.

Tasty Wok’s menu will please you-guys who want “real” Chinese food (whatever REAL means?)–and also guys like me who are looking for Brooklyn-Jewish circa 1950’s Chinese food.

A recent outing had Jeff Eats, Mrs. Jeff Eats and a bunch of friends doing:
1. wonton soup,
2. egg rolls,
3. fried meat dumplings,
4. roast pork,
5. sweet and sour pork,
6. general tso’s chicken,
7. shrimp in lobster sauce,
8. pepper steak,
9. roast duck
10. shrimp fried rice

Like I said a few seconds ago…absolutely dynamite. No fooling around here, some of the best Chinese food Jeff Eats has eaten in Florida.

Nothing for nothing, food and decor-wise, Tasty Wok could successfully compete with most of NYC Chinatown’s players. To be perfectly honest with you, I’d match Tasty Wok’s roast duck and roast pork up against NYC Chinatown’s best joints–any day of the week. Those two “items” alone, were worth the price of admission.

You Orlandoians got a homerun going here.

Tasty Wok is open 7 days a week 10:30am-9:30pm.

Just a “suggestion”—check the YELP reviews on this one. There are something like 100 reviews and other than a small handful—most folks loved Tasty Wok. The comments should “give” you some more color about Tasty Wok.

Father’s Day- Sunday, June 18, 2017- Tropical Acres Steakhouse ( Fort Lauderdale/Dania Beach)

***** Father’s Day- Sunday, June 18, 2017- Tropical Acres Steakhouse.

For some strange reason- right now, some of you guys are wondering where Daughter Jeff Eats and Son Jeff Eats are taking Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats out to eat on Father’s Day- Sunday, June 18, 2017!

Well wonder no more…

Tropical Acres Steakhouse, 2500 Griffin Road, Fort Lauderdale, Florida 33312, (954) 989-2500.

Real simple tale to tell, semi-upscale steak/seafood joint which has been around since 1949- which gives you one hell of a bang for your buck!

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

Posted on September 6th, 2008 · American Fort Lauderdale Seafood
***** Tropical Acres Steakhouse, 2500 Griffin Road, Fort Lauderdale, Florida 33312 (954) 989-2500.

A few reviews ago, we discussed the never-ending search to find “moderately” priced steakhouses (Manero’s 8/28/08 & Raindancer 8/29/08) that serve great food at reasonable prices and have waiters-waitresses who don’t treat you like crap…say hello to Tropical Acres which has been in business since 1949. Checkout this joint’s website at www.tropicalacres.com for menu/prices/details.

Tropical Acres has terrific food…steaks, seafood, not to mention a handful of Italian dishes. Great wait-staff…and prices that are something like 50% less than those charged by the Robber Barons…they and you know who they are. The joint is just fancy enough to warrant your throwing on a pair of long-pants, but I think that shorts won’t get you “shown” the door.

Like I said before, the joint has been around since 1949, so just maybe it has been doing something right. Tropical Acres is open 7 days a week from 4:30pm-10pm…please note that it is closed on Sundays, July-October.

Great Value Twist & Shout Cookies (Walmart Supercenter-Delray Beach)

***** Great Value Classic Twist & Shout Cookies.

If you like Nabisco Oreo Cookies- then you gotta try Walmart’s “house brand” Great Value Twist & Shout Cookies!

Trust Jeff Eats on this one, in a “blind taste-test” I seriously doubt that many of you guys would be able to tell the difference between the two cookies- I know that after eating 3 cookies of each brand- something like 10 minutes ago in my home- kitchen, I couldn’t!

Now for the kicker, basically the same package weight, right now-at the Walmart Supercenter, 16205 South Military Trail, Delray Beach, Florida 33484 the Nabisco package is fetching $2.98 and the Great Value package $1.98!

By the way, like Nabisco Oreos Cookies – the Great Value Twist & Shout Cookies come in different wafer/filling flavor-combinations!

Just thought that you might like to know what “James Bartholomew Olsen” Jeff Eats has been looking into for you guys!

***** Waffle House, 2580 Davie Road, Davie, Florida 33317, (954) 792-8150

Let the truth be told, Waffle House is one of Jeff Eats favorite joints to eat breakfast, lunch and dinner at! There I said it! I am a gigantic fan of this 2,100 unit 24/7 American “diner” chain which has been around since 1955. Over the years, Jeff Eats has eaten in Waffle Houses literally all over the place- yesterday, I did breakfast at the Waffle House located at 2580 Davie Road, in Davie.

Now you guys and Jeff Eats both know that this food “reviewing thing” is purely a subjective exercise- what I like you may hate and vice versa! That said, I challenge you guys to eat the Waffle House’s- hasbrowns smothered in sautéed onions/covered with melted American cheese and smoked hickory ham chunks- pecan waffles- Texas Angus Patty Melt- grilled biscuits & sausage gravy and then honestly tell Jeff Eats that “it” wasn’t like dying and going to heaven (I know, a bit dramatic!)!

The Boca Black Box is proud to announce that Jeff Norris will be taking the stage this summer. Jeff is an energetic whirlwind of comedy. He is a crowd favorite in both Atlantic City and Las Vegas. He has also most recently partnered with Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines.

Over the years, Jeff has appeared on numerous tv and film roles including HBO’s Boardwalk Empire and OZ, Good Morning America, My Super-Ex Girlfriend and Not Fade Away.

Jeff is one of the most quick-witted acts working today–hardly pausing for a breath as he tears through his act, keeping the audience alert and in stitches from begining to end. Jeff has been called a complete pro–one of the few reminaing comics that understands the importance of showmanship and presentation.
