***** Philly Grub, 99 Northwest 54th Street, Miami, Florida 33127, (786) 857-6906.

Got a real good one for you, Philly Grub- a hole in the wall/fast food/order at counter-food delivered to table sub joint which makes off the chart amazing reasonably priced stuff!

Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats did a recent lunch and like I just said, off the chart amazing reasonably priced stuff!

Lookie here! I know that Jeff Eats wasn’t born and bred in Philly like Robert Ridarelli, Fabiano Bonaparte and Francis Avallone were, but I do know when a joint is serving up dynamite Philly cheesesteaks, meatball subs, chicken parm subs, Italian ices and other stuff- and that’s exactly what Philly Grub is doing!

You can get more info on Philly Grub at phillygrub.menu.

The joint is open Monday-Saturday 11am-7pm, Sunday 11am-6pm.

* UB40, Burger & Suds.

Just in case you guys were wondering “what” Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats are doing tonight- dinner at Burgers & Suds, (360 East McNab Road, Pompano Beach, Florida 33060, (954) 586-4258) and then the UB40 concert at the Pompano Beach Amphitheater (theamppompano.org).

Looking forward to a tremendous evening!

For you would be burglars, Mrs. Jeff Eats second-cousins, Marvin and Thomas (he’s the one with the tattoos) are house guests of ours! Just between us (if you tell Mrs. Jeff Eats, I’ll deny it) both boys have some real serious anger management issues, which you’ll definitely experience first hand- should you foolishly decide to stop by- unannounced at our Boca Raton home while Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats are out for the evening!

***** Burgers & Suds.

No fooling here, at least once or twice a week (would you believe once every 6 weeks?)- Jeff Eats gets “asked” something like- What’s your best burger place down here?

You regular readers “know”- that I’m really not into “best” lists…that said, I just ate lunch at Burgers & Suds and (once-again) the joint blew me away.

Printed down below are a bunch of Jeff Eats’ Burger & Suds “stories”…if reading old junk isn’t your game, just skip it- real fast, those stories just summarize- as to how terrific the food is!

I am telling you, that this joint is an absolute must try! Everything that Burger & Suds makes-from burgers to wings to salads is dynamite!

Burgers & Suds is an absolute “dump”- a “dive”- with some of the most amazing and delicious food in South Florida!

Like I said 2 seconds ago, a must try!

Received the following email last night…
Jeff,
My wife and I recently moved because of business from Atlanta to Pompano Beach.
Simply put, we are real foodies. We love to try all types of restaurants and foods.
We are huge Guy Fieri and Adam Richman fans. Like Guy and Adam we are really into what Guy would call DIVES.
Read about you and JEFFEATS.COM in Boca Life Magazine.
Your site seems to have loads of DIVES. You seem like our type of guy.
How about starting us new Floridians off with a great DIVE that does burgers, wings, fries, onion rings and sandwiches?

Tom L:

Welcome to South Florida.
Give Burgers & Suds a shot.
For what it’s worth Guy Fieri calls them DIVES…Jeff Eats calls them JOINTS! You know- I say TOMATO and you say tomato!
For your reference, I have reprinted previous Jeff Eats’ Burger & Suds “stories.”
Trust me, you’re not the first “foodies” that I have recommended this joint to.
Just so you know, Jeff Eats loves Burgers & Suds…the food is- as Guy Fieri would say, OFF THE CHART!
Let me know what you guys think-of this DIVE- I mean JOINT!!!!!

There are only 3 things in life that are certain…
1. Death
2. Taxes.
3. After Jeff Eats buys a stock it goes down.
Anyway,
In past stories (Rev. 7/13/13 & 2/21/14) Jeff Eats told you guys about Burgers & Suds- a terrific full service burger joint that made absolutely delicious burgers/hot dogs/flat breads/wings/salads/sandwiches–back then, Burgers & Suds was a hole-in-the-wall on Commercial Boulevard in Fort Lauderdale.
To make a long story short,
Three days ago, Burgers & Suds moved to a new location, 360 East McNab Road, Pompano Beach, (954) 586-4258. The new spot seats something like 110 inside and 20 outside…it has a small beer/wine bar that seats maybe 10.
Now please pay close attention…
Last night Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats ate at Burgers & Suds and I am telling you–this joint is going to be a HOME RUN…actually, make that a GRAND SLAM. The cheeseburger/char-grilled hot dog/french fries/sweet potato fries/grilled chicken wrap/bacon wrapped chicken wings–were terrific. Trust Jeff Eats, the stuff coming out of Burgers & Suds’ kitchen is in a whole ‘nother league from what most South Florida burger/American Style restaurants are serving. Just that simple.
Try Burger & Suds…my money says that you’ll love it!
Jeff Eats’ articles dated 7/13/13 and 2/21/14 are reprinted below.
Burgers & Suds is open 7 days a week 10am-10pm.
You can check menu/prices at www.burgerssuds.com.

* Burger & Suds.
The other day Jeff Eats received the following e-mail…
Hey Jeff,
My wife and I recently moved to Fort Lauderdale and came across your site when we were looking for restaurants to try.
You really have a load of reviews and we enjoyed reading about many of your picks.
We are very new to the area so we are just getting our feet wet in finding places to go and could use some help.
For starters, what in your opinion is the best relatively unknown ‘hole in the wall’ that does salads, burgers, sandwiches?
Thanks,
JN

Printed below is a July 13, 2013 story that Jeff Eats did on Burgers & Suds located in Fort Lauderdale. You can check menu/prices at www.burgerssuds.com.

Jeff Eats absolutely loves this joint.
No question in my mind, that Burger & Suds is one of the best “hole in the walls” in South Florida.
The food is amazing.
Burgers & Suds (Fort Lauderdale)
Posted on July 13th, 2013 · American Breakfast Fort Lauderdale Pizza
***** Burgers & Suds, 261 East Commercial Boulevard, Fort Lauderdale, Florida 33334, (954) 772-8007.
You guys can thank me later!
Last night, Jeff Eats ate at Burgers & Suds…for our purposes- let’s call it an “American-Style” hole-in-the-wall that serves salads, burgers, wings, pizzas, sandwiches/wraps, tacos/burritos, Saturday-Sunday breakfast. The name Burgers & Suds is a bit deceiving…for sure, the joints- got 13 different burgers and something like 10 different bottled beer brands—but as I mentioned 2 seconds ago, there is a load of other “items” to stuff your face with.
Before I get into what I “tried”—let me tell, if you want to eat some outrageously good food—then you gotta go to Burgers & Suds. By the way, the joint has only been open…5-months.
I think you guys know by now, that Jeff Eats has eaten in his fair share of South Florida restaurants. Trust me on this, Burgers & Suds’ food is heads and shoulders better than most of the joints that I have been to.
Just so you know, Burgers & Suds looks like an absolute “dump” inside and outside…the inside has a bar that seats maybe 6 and 3 hi-tops that seat 9—the awning covered outside patio has a handful of tables with seating for 24…do the math—we are talking a total of 39 seats for the whole joint.
Before Jeff Eats goes any further, let me tell you that Burgers & Suds is my kinda of a joint or shall I say dump? I seriously doubt that most people looking at Burgers & Suds for the first time-would even consider eating there…
I’m sure, that you-know the old saying…”Don’t judge a book by its cover”—well, Burgers & Suds could be the poster-child for that famous line.
Last night, Jeff Eats’ party of-4 “had”…honey garlic wings (10 wings $8.95), Greek salad ($5.95), 1/2lb cheeseburger with onion rings ($8.95), chicken wrap with sweet potato fries ($7.95), 10″ margarita pizza ($7.95), lamb burger with French fries ($10.95) and the food was amazingly good. No fooling around here, I would rate the cheeseburger right up there with the best that I’ve had ANYWHERE. Let me go as far and say—every item that we had was terrific and could hold its own against South Florida’s best of breed.
Burgers & Suds was a rare find. This joint isn’t some-guy throwing pre-formed frozen burger patties on a grill…the joint is supplied daily by a local butcher shop…hamburgers are charbroiled while lamb burgers are flat-top grilled—salad dressings are made in-house. The back-of-the-house really knows how to “cook” and portion size/price points tells me that a real “pro” is running Burger & Suds.
For right now, I’m thinking-that not too many people know about this joint- but, I’m willing to bet you a breakfast/lunch/or dinner–your choice, that this anonymity won’t last too much longer. There is no way that food like this—doesn’t find a gigantic audience.
For you “drinkers”–in addition to 10 bottled beer-brands, Burgers & Suds has a handful of wines by the glass/bottle…
For you “sports people”– there are 2 big flat screen tvs inside and 1 big flat screen outside.
Not to be too repetitious or nothing—but I’m telling you, you gotta try this joint!
You can check www.burgerssuds.com for menu/prices.
Burgers & Suds is open for lunch/dinner Monday-Friday 10am-9pm, Saturday-Sunday 8am-9pm (breakfast 8am-noon).

***** Krystal.

Not going to tell you guys where I just ate lunch.

Try and guess!

Jeff Eats’ Krystal-review-July 29, 2008 may give you some idea…

As close to eating-White Castle as is humanly possible down here in South Florida.

$2.99 well spent!

Posted July 29, 2008
***** Krystal, 901 West Sunrise Boulevard, Fort Lauderdale, Florida 33311, (954) 524-9994.

Let me make this write-up short and sweet.

There are no White Castles in South Florida. Krystal is as close to being a White Castle as you will find in South Florida. Krystal is a “national” fast-food hamburger chain which has been around since 1932. White Castle has paper-thin- square shaped-burgers called ” SLYDERS” and Krystal has paper-thin- square shaped burgers called “KRYSTALS.” I like “slyders” better than “krystals”…but it’s a close call. Sort of like Coke and Pepsi.

Like I said before, there is one Krystal joint in South Florida– Fort Lauderdale…there is a whole bunch of them in Orlando. Check Krystal’s website www.krystal.com for menu/locations. The joint in Fort Lauderdale is open 7 days a week from 7am-midnight.

If you don’t know what a White Castle is…GOOGLE.

What happens when you have one comedian from Long Island? You get an evening of hysterical humor. BUT, what happens when you have two comedians from Long Island? You get an uproariously evening of hilarity that will surely tickle your funny bone.

So don’t miss the show critics are going to call the new Odd Couple: Two Guys from Long Island… walk into a bar.

Al Romas is an established headliner who has delighted audiences in an impressive list of venues ranging from Radio City Music Hall for ESPN’s Espy Awards to Las Vegas, Atlantic City and various major Cruise Lines. You may have seen him on: VH1’s “Standup Spotlight” , A&E’s “Evening at the Improv” , MTV’s “Half Hour Comedy Hour” and Comedy Central’s “Short Attention Span Theater.”

John Consoli is a stand-up comedian from Long Island. His act pulls from all facets of his life experience as the product of a broken but hysterical home, a husband, father, ex-husband and a guy who’s starting to realize that life is trying really hard to pass him by.John’s quick wit and ability to improvise make him a great fit for virtually any venue. John also performs as a one man show at theaters all over the north-eastern USA, most recently at the Courtyard Theater in Selinsgrove PA.
