***** {Bru-sket-ta) Italian Caffe, 12111 Taft Street, Pembroke Pines, Florida 33026, (954) 391-9319.
Got a real-good “mom & pop” hole-in-the wall Italian joint for you, {Bru-sket-ta) Italian Caffe located in Pembroke Pines. Just so you know, the joint is in a strip-center, so don’tcha worry your tee shirt/shorts/flip flops- ensemble will work perfectly.
Let Jeff Eats make this tale real short and simple for you guys…the food kills, the prices are super reasonable, the wait-staff is as pleasant as can be…I absolutely loved (Bru-sket-ta} Italian Caffe- but I will tell- you typing these ({ and }) are/were a real-bitch…don’t believe me?- then you go-see how easy it is to find the freaking symbols on your keyboard!
A recent dinner outing had Jeff Eats, Mrs. Jeff Eats and another couple doing…fried calamari, caprese salad, veal parmigiana, penne bolognese, lasagna, cheese pizza and a “thing” {Bru-sket-ta) calls L’INDECISA which is 1/2 of a pizza combined with 1/2 of a calzone- (Jeff Eats did a meatball/sausage-calzone), tiramisu- and like I said 2.9 seconds ago, the food killed!
{Bru-sket-ta} Italian Caffe is a winner! Between you guys and Jeff Eats, the drive from my home in Boca Raton down to the joint- was well worth the time, effort and gas…
{Bru-sket-ta} Italian Caffe is open 7-days a week 11am-10pm.

Never saw the “show” in my life!
Maybe this works for you in some strange way…

***** Taste of the City, 9940 Griffin Road, Cooper City, Florida 33328, (954) 434-9245.
If- like Jeff Eats you are into the “mom & pop” neighborhood diner-concept…then I got something really good for you…
Taste of the City in Cooper City.
Absolutely positively- nothing fancy going on here- counter seating, a whole bunch of tables…a menu loaded with tons of reasonably priced- breakfast stuff, salads, burgers, sandwiches, so on and so forth…open for breakfast/lunch Sunday 7:30am-2:30pm, Monday-Saturday 7am-3pm also open Thursday 5pm-9pm for dinner.
Long story short, Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats recently did breakfast…and loved the western omelet, cheese omelet with bacon, breakfast bacon burrito, grits, toasted et-bagel, home fries that were pleasantly/timely delivered to our table. Jeff Eats not being a coffee expert- Mrs. Jeff Eats Juan Valdez told me to assure you guys, that the coffee was right on the money!
Like I said a few seconds ago, Jeff Eats really enjoys “mom & pop” diners…call me what you’d like (just don’t call me Ray) but to me- these diners-are part of our American culture our history. May sound hokey, but think Andy Taylor, Mike the Cop, Mr. Fields, Gunther Toody, Aunt Bea, Leo Schnauser, Floyd the Barber-and just maybe you’ll appreciate from where I’m coming.
You may call your favorite diner, Joe’s, Lou’s, Tommy’s- but a rose is a rose …
To wrap it up, Jeff Eats loved Taste of the City.

Latest Review: 12/27/10
First things first. Poppy’s is a takeout/delivery joint.
No ifs ands or buts, this joint makes some heavy duty delicious pizza, subs, Italian stuff.
Jeff Eats singled out Poppy’s tuna sub to get the conversation going- but trust me, you get the chicken parm sub, or a couple slices of cheese pizza and you’ll be a happy camper.
If you live, work in Poppy’s neighborhood-an absolute must try!
