If you’re into the “mom & pop” diner concept- you’ll love this joint! By the way, “that” gyro platter can definitely feed two- unless you’re like Gorilla Monsoon or something!

***** Harbor Café, 1396 Southeast 17th Street, Fort Lauderdale, Florida 33316, (954) 467-0363.
Got a good breakfast-lunch joint for you…Harbor Café in Fort Lauderdale. Absolutely nothing fancy going on here. Inside counter/table/booth seating & outside table seating…it’s located in the prerequisite strip center. For those into math, 76 seats inside, 22 outside.
Not the biggest menu in the diner-world, but enough breakfast stuff, salads, burgers, sandwiches, meat/chicken/seafood entrees, Greek stuff, desserts- so everybody (except your picky- “kids”) are gonna find what to eat.
By the way the joint is open Monday-Saturday 6:30am-3pm, Sunday 6:30am-2pm (I guess the staff wants to get home in time to watch the Dolphins lose another game-sheesh).
Jeff Eats recently did a lunch with a couple of buddies…bacon cheeseburger (with French fries/tomato/cole slaw $7.20), chicken salad on- Kaiser roll ($5.10), grilled cheese & bacon on rye ($4.50), Greek salad ($7.95)- everything was A-OK! Just so we are straight with each other, Harbor Café is your basic neighborhood diner- Jeff Eats loves “diner” food-and that’s exactly what this joint serves-up. Like I said a few seconds ago, absolutely nothing fancy going on here…hopefully you guys get my drift, flat grill-top stuff galore!
One other observation, from what I “saw” Harbor Café does a nice locals’ business and-catches some nice action from the hotels-in the area.
To wrap it up for you…good food, reasonable prices, very pleasant wait-staff.
This article first appeared on March 1, 2017. Jeff Eats just checked and there are a handful of tickets left for tomorrow night’s show. Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats are going- if you wanna go and don’t yet have tickets, time to get cracking!

* Doo Wop Mania.
Jeff Eats just picked-up 2-tickets…
Just so you guys know, before the show- Jeff Ears and Mrs. Jeff Eats are probably gonna catch a couple of slices at Pasquale & Son’s Pizza Company which is something like 5 minutes from the theater!
Posted on February 5th, 2010
***** Pasquale & Son’s Pizza Company, 5609 Coral Ridge Drive, Coral Springs, Florida 33076 (954) 510-0703.
Pasquale & Son’s is a “red sauce” Italian “order-at the counter/pickup-at-the-counter” joint. It is a very modern looking restaurant, with flat screen tvs with plenty of table and booth seating.
Before we go any further, the same guys who own Pasquale & Son’s have another joint, Pasquale’s Pizza & Subs, 10337, Royal Palm Boulevard, Coral Springs, Florida 33065 (954) 341-0707…same concept–menu–prices–hours–website.
Pasquale & Son’s is my kind of joint. Take a look at its website www.pasqualeandsons.com for menu/prices/photos—and you’ll get some idea of what I am yapping about. Straight-up…real casual, good stuff, reasonable prices.
The other night I did—chicken parm sub ($7.95), penne ala vodka ($12.95-comes with 4 garlic rolls and side salad), large plain pizza ($15.95), sicilian pizza ($18.95), calzone ($8.50 mozzarella & ricotta), stromboli ($8.50 mozzarella-pepperoni-sausage-peppers-onion) and I gotta tell you, the food is right on the money. Like I told you before, you are your “own” waiter/waitress (got to be politically correct here)…this is one-easy going-casual joint. I have to single that stromboli out for- special kudos, sorry- I didn’t order a large one for $18.50, it was really that good.
Pasquale & Son’s is open Sunday-Thursday 10am-11pm, Friday-Saturday 10am-midnight.

***** Pizza Bruno, 3990 Curry Ford Road, Orlando, Florida 32806, (407) 440-3894.
Got a really-really good joint for you guys, Pizza Bruno in Orlando.
Rather than writing a “War & Peace”- piece on Pizza Bruno, let’s just say that two of Jeff Eats’ favorite Italian “dishes” are- pizza and garlic knots. Give me knots, pizza and endless Coke refills and Jeff Eats is a big time happy camper! With that in mind- Pizza Bruno makes off the chart delicious garlic knots and wood-fired pizzas!
Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats recently did a-Pizza Bruno dinner…the joint’s garlic knots and pizza were joined by a house salad and an order of meatballs- and I gotta tell you guys, the two additions absolutely killed! Just so you guys know, Pizza Bruno’s menu is kinda limited, handful of appetizers/salads/desserts, garlic knots, loads of pizzas, but Jeff Eats is thinking that you’ll definitely find what to eat!
Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats really-really enjoyed Pizza Bruno!
The joint is open Monday-Thursday 5pm-10pm, Friday 5pm-10:30pm, Saturday 11am-10:30pm, Sunday 11am-10pm.
