Real simple tale here, first told you guys about Uncle Al’s Sports Cafe on 11/25/09 (Review: down below)! Big mistake- hadn’t been back until last night when Jeff Eats, Mrs. Jeff Eats and another couple did dinner! Like I just said, big mistake- delicious food, great service, reasonable prices!

***** Uncle Al’s Sports Cafe, 15846 West Sate Road 84, Sunrise, Florida 33326 (866) 669-7775.

Uncle Al’s Sports Cafe…neighborhood sports bar, with something like 17 flat screen tvs, handful of arcade games…real good- reasonably priced sports bar food.

Did some fried wings, bacon cheeseburger, french fries, onion rings, zucchini sticks, grilled chicken caesar wrap…like I said, good-reasonably priced sports bar food.

If I lived or worked in Uncle Al’s neighborhood, I would be a good customer. Real good food…very pleasant wait-staff…menu loaded with appetizers, soups, salads, burgers, sandwiches, wings, meat-seafood-chicken entrees. Unfortunatley, this joint is something like 25 miles from my home.

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

Uncle Al’s is open Monday-Thursday 11am-midnight, Friday-Saturday 11am-1am, Sunday noon-midnight.

***** The Stage, 9144 Bonita Beach Road, Bonita Springs, Florida 34135, (239) 405-8566.

Got a really cool “music-dance-eat-drink” joint for you…The Stage located in Bonita Springs.

At this stage of the “story” do me a huge favor and check www.thestagebonita.com…in a nutshell, on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday starting at 4pm The Stage features some of the best original bands, cover bands and tribute acts in Florida. Sometimes the “music” is free and sometimes there is a cover charge. To round things out, The Stage has a full-bar and a menu loaded with very reasonably priced “decent enough” appetizers, salads, burgers, sandwiches and meat/chicken/seafood entrees.

The play here…get a good table and plan on staying awhile. In recent months I’ve been there twice and I had a blast.

Got a real good “mom & pop” American-diner joint for you…Gilbert’s 17th Street Grill.

The menu is not large…but has enough soups, salads, burgers, sandwiches, grilled items and desserts…so nobody’s gonna starve. A recent outing netted me a cheeseburger, bbq ribs and a philly cheesesteak sandwich…everything was delicious and priced just right. Nothing fancy here, just real good food. Take a look at the joint’s website www.gilberts17thstgrill.com for menu/prices/details.

Gilbert’s is open Monday-Saturday 11am-9pm. The joint is closed on Sunday.

***** Brandsmart USA *****

Unless Jeff Eats is mistaken here…I’m gonna assume that you guys know “what” BrandsMart USA is. For those of you who don’t, large appliance outlet store with numerous South Florida locations.

Just wanted to let you folks know that Brandsmart USA is a business that denies access to its stores to people who don’t produce WRITTEN PROOF that a service animal is in fact a service animal.

As discussed in a previous Jeff Eats’ “story”- Table 42 Italian Kitchen & Wine Bar (4/13/12) it is a violation of Federal Law to “ask” a person to produce WRITTEN PROOF that an animal is a service animal.

You would think that “maybe” a mom & pop restaurant or store might be fuzzy on this law…but a huge operation like Brandsmart USA that does hundreds of millions of dollars worth of business every year—should know exactly what it can do and what it can’t do.

***** March 22, 2013 UPDATE *****

Just wanted to give you guys an update.

On March 18, 2013 Jeff Eats received a call from a Brandsmart representative who advised that the corporation would make sure that all of its General Managers/Managers were well versed with reference to State-Federal Laws/Regulations concerning Service Animals.

Here’s a heads-up for you guys…

Not Fade Away- A Tribute To The Music Of Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, The Big Bopper And More is coming to Florida!

Jeff Eats is gonna assume- that you guys know The Buddy Holly Story- assuming that assumption is correct, Not Fade Away- A Tribute To The Music Of Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, The Big Bopper And More is one of the most innovative, musically- vocally entertaining “versions” that I’ve ever seen!

This show is an absolute must see!
