Trust Jeff Eats when I tell you that you’d be hard pressed to find a better fast food/order-pickup at the counter Greek joint in Florida. Dynamite food, big portions, reasonable prices! Now, Jeff Eats might be going out on a limb here because I don’t personally know most of you guys, but unless you’re a Two Ton Tony Galento type character- that Gyro Platter should comfortably feed two people!

By the way, It’s All Greek To Me! Grill recently opened a second location- 5456 West Sample Road, Margate, Florida 33073, (754) 307-9980.

One final thought, if the above pictured Gyro Platter doesn’t exactly work for you- It’s All Greek To Me! Grill’s- Grilled Chicken With Greek Salad Platter ain’t exactly a slouch either!

It’s All Greek To Me! Grill- pretty original name, NOT! Right up there with, Jimmy The Greek—there must be 10,000,022 joints in North America using that one.

Anyway, if you want some absolutely delcious–very reasonably priced–order at the counter Greek food…give, It’s All Greek To Me! Grill a shot. You can check menu/prices/photos at www.itsallgreektome-grill.com.

A recent outing had me “sampling”- pork souvlaki pita ($4.99), gyro pita ($4.99), grilled lamb chops ($16.99), mousaka (9.95)…like I said before, delicious stuff. A special shoutout to that gyro!

It’s All Greek To Me! Grill is open Monday-Saturday 11am-9pm. The joint is closed on Sunday.

This contest started on 6/8/17. This contest has a winner.

* Graceland Presents: Elvis Live In Concert.

Tickets just went on sale at Ticketmaster.com priced at $45-$145 plus fees.

Although Jeff Eats is a big Elvis fan- I’m kinda thinking that it’s time “we” Let The Man Rest In Peace! There are only so many times that you can bring Elvis back from the dead for a “live” concert!- at $45-$145 + Ticketmaster fees before you’ve worn out your welcome!

If you disagree…

2017 marks the 40th anniversary of Elvis’ death at Graceland. Now, using the latest
technology, Elvis performs via state-of-the art video screens singing lead vocals
backed by a live band, singers and an orchestra.

Together, this multimedia creation puts the audience inside an Elvis Presley concert
presented exactly like one of his classic live performances in a Las Vegas showroom.

The contemporary staging and overall production create the illusion that Elvis
is on stage for his finest concert performances. Don’t miss the REAL Elvis Presley
as you’ve never seen him before!

* Peter J. Fogel.

Real simple tale to tell you guys- over the past 7 years Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats have seen Delray Beach resident- national touring headlining “clean” comedian Peter J. Fogel’s stand-up act something like 12 times and each and every time he absolutely killed!

Just announced, Peter J. Fogel at the Boca Black Box on Thursday, July 6, 2017 at 8pm.

Trust Jeff Eats on this one, you want to see Peter J. Fogel’s show!

The Skinny:

Peter J. Fogel

While Peter J. Fogel might be “America’s funniest comedian you’ve never heard of,” you have seen him. Maybe it was opening Robert Klein’s HBO special, or headlining Caroline’s in NYC or (back in the wild ’80s) appearing as the “Ring Around the Collar Man” in the beloved Wisk detergent commercials … but, chances are, you have caught sight of this multi-talented comic and current star of the national tour of My Mother’s Italian, My Father’s Jewish & I’m in Therapy. Now you can see him up close (and in glorious form) when he brings his characters, voices and hilarious observations to Boca Black Box for a night of stand-up comedy.

***** Morgan’s Country Kitchen, 180 Business Park Way, Royal Palm Beach, Florida 33411, (561) 795-5285.

Got a real good “mom & pop” diner for you guys, Morgan’s Country Kitchen in Royal Palm Beach.

Real simple concept working here, breakfast/lunch (open Monday- Friday 7am-2:30pm, Saturday-Sunday 7am-1:30pm), table/booth/counter seating, delicious food, big portions, reasonable prices, super pleasant service.

Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats did a recent breakfast- and like I just said real good!

You regular Jeff Eats’ readers know or should know by now- that Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats are huge- “mom & pop” diner fans- trust me when I tell you- that this Morgan’s Country Kitchen joint is definitely firing on all cylinders.

For you guys who maybe wondering, breakfast is served all day and Morgan’s has the full boat of “diner” burgers, salads, sandwiches, entrees, breakfast/lunch specials- so everyone in your “party” is gonna find what to eat!

Let me wrap this baby up by telling you guys- that if Morgan’s Country Kitchen was a whole lot closer to Jeff Eats’ Boca Raton abode- I would be a real and I do mean a real steady customer!

***** 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.

This contest started on 6/4/17. This contest has a winner.

***** 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!

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.
