* Mother’s Day 2025 @ Anthony’s Runway 84 (Fort Lauderdale)

This one is for all- you guys who like to follow Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats’ “social” calendar- Jeff Eats, Mrs. Jeff Eats. Daughter Jeff Eats and Son Jeff Eats are doing- Mother’s Day 2025 – Sunday, May 11th, 2025- at Anthony’s Runway 84 in Fort Lauderdale!

Happy Mother’s Day!

Posted on January 15th, 2024.

***** Anthony’s Runway 84, 330 West State Road 84, Fort Lauderdale, Florida 33315, (954) 467-8484.

This past Sunday, Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats ate dinner at upscale white table cloth Italian joint- Anthony’s Runway 84 and its food and service absolutely killed!

Over the past 30 years, Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats have eaten numerous times at Anthony’s Runway 84- some outings were great and others not so great! (See 7/9/08 & 1/29/16 “reviews” below).

In 2022 the joint underwent a major (and I do mean major) construction and decor renovation!

Last night was our first outing at the “new” gorgeous- Sinatra Martin Lawford Sammy Davis Jr. Bishop era inspired restaurant!

Our reservation was timely honored, the menu was reasonably priced, the food and service were top-shelf!

Let’s wrap Anthony’s Runway 84 up by saying, if the joint stays the course, it is an absolute must try!

You guys can check menu/prices/info at runway84.com.

Anthony’s Runway 84 hours:

Monday-closed
Tuesay-Thursday 4PM – 11PM
Friday Lunch – 12PM – 3PM

***** Anthony’s Runway 84, 330 West State Road 84, Fort Lauderdale, Florida 33315, (954) 467-8484.

Last night Jeff Eats, Mrs. Jeff Eats and 9 others ate dinner at Anthony’s Runway 84 an “upscale” Italian joint in Fort Lauderdale.

Jeff Eats first told you guys about Anthony’s Runway 84 on July 9, 2008 (“review”reprinted down below).

Long story short,

Despite getting caught in torrential rains-driving there and being late for our 6:30pm reservation (arriving at 7:10pm) the packed (and I do mean packed)- Anthony’s Runway 84- immediately seated us! Real simple tale to tell, the food (Italian salad, mussels marinara, clams oreganata, chicken parmigiana, veal parmigiana, veal marsala, grilled pork chops, chicken scarpariello, spaghetti marinara) was delicious and the service was right on the money! Trust Jeff Eats when I tell you, that everyone at the table really enjoyed dinner! For you guys who like to keep score, the grilled pork chops and the chicken scarpariello killed!

Take a “read” of my 7/9/08 “review”- just so you know, Jeff Eats hadn’t been back to Anthony’s Runway 84 since that review-date…I’m kinda thinking that “out of sight out of mind” was the prime factor for the roughly 8 year hiatus!

Based on last night’s “dinner” Jeff Eats is recommending that you guys give the joint a shot- no ifs, ands or buts- Anthony’s Runway 84 did a great job last night!

You can check menu/prices/info at runway-84.com.

Anthony’s Runway 84 is open for lunch Tuesday-Friday, for dinner Tuesady-Sunday, closed Monday.

***** Anthony’s Runway 84, 330 West State Road 84, Fort Lauderdale, Florida 33315, (954) 467-8484.

The owner of Anthony’s Runway 84, is the same guy who in recent years has been “rolling out” Anthony’s Coal Fired Pizza joints literally all over South Florida.

Anthony’s Runway 84 is a white-cloth-upscale Italian Restaurant…This joint’s decor is Tony Soprano-Christopher Moltisanti-Paulie Gualtieri circa 1970. Anthony’s has an enormous-legendary following, so don’t even think about going to this joint without a reservation…(more on reservations later).

Just so you know…over the years I have eaten at Anthony’s Runway 84 at least 15 times…to be perfectly honest with you, I don’t know if I like or don’t like this joint…I know that sounds nuts, but that’s the truth.

Anthony’s is notorious for not honoring reservations…over the years it has gotten a reputation for being a joint that hand-picks who gets seated and when they get seated…in the past, sometimes I was timely seated and sometimes I sat in the bar (for the longest period) trying to figure what the hell was going on…

Anthony’s is notorious for having an erratic kitchen…sometimes the food is absolutely incredible and sometimes it produces absolute garbage…in the past, I have had great dishes, good dishes and garbage.

The one thing that has always been consistent at Anthony’s is the wait-service. Absolutely top-notch. By the way, Anthony’s prices are nothing too terrible…you get a ton of food for the money.

The perfect Anthony’s Runway 84 experience is an “honored” reservation with great food…I have had such evenings… then again, I have had “honored” reservations with garbage…I have also had reservations “not honored” with great food…and reservations “not honored” with garbage.

Let me put it to you this way…eating at this joint is an absolute crap-shoot. Based on my having eaten in this joint something like 15 times, I must be a gambler and glutton for punishment all rolled up in one.

My suggestion is that you give Anthony’s Runway 84 at least one try…if the stars line-up for you, you will have an an absolutely fabulous dinner. When (if) it comes together, the combination of decor/ambiance/attitude/food/service is fantastic.

Anthony’s is open Tuesday-Sunday for dinner.

GOOD LUCK!!!!

Latest Review: 10/26/15

People constantly ask me, “Who makes the best bagels in Florida?” Now you guys know that this food reviewing “situation” is purely a subjective call- with that in mind, if I had to choose one bagel- joint, I’d go with Bagel City South which boil-bakes its bagels every day- in house!

In recent days, Jeff Eats has seen a number of tractor trailers loaded with cars with New York and New Jersey license plates- unloading their “cargo”- so to save time, let me answer the inevitable “best bagels” questions by reprinting this Jeff Eats’ article from February 23, 2015…

Jeff Eats recently received this e-mail…

Jeff,
Long time reader.
I know you don’t like or really do ‘best’ lists.
Indulge me, if it came down to just one south Florida joint, which one would it be for bagels?
I won’t tell anyone.
Thanks,
Anthony Franza

Anthony Franza,

You know that ‘best’ lists really aren’t my game…that said, if you promise not to tell anyone!

Bagel City South makes some of the best New York styled bagels and bialys in South Florida. The stuff is made the old fashioned way, that being hand rolled, boiled and then oven baked.

The joint is open 7 days a week for breakfast and lunch. Great place for appetizing, burgers, deli, eggs and of course those fantastic bagels/bialys.

Sassy waitresses and talkative countermen add to the New York flavor. This is a real good one.

***** BMC Smash Burgers 3499 North Dixie Highway, Oakland Park, FLorida 33334, (321) 246-1322.

Got a real good burger joint for you guys to checkout, BMC Smash Burgers in Oakland Park.

Simple tale to tell, yesterday Jeff Eats and three business associates “discovered” BMC Smash Burgers and its food totally blew us away! Order/pickup at front counter, inside table and counter seating/ handful of outdoor tables, reasonably priced burger/ hot dog/ tots/ french fries menu, open Wednesday-Saturday 4pm-10pm/ Sunday 1pm-7pm/ closed Monday-Tuesday.

Just between you guys and me, I kinda think I know my burgers and hot dogs- and I am telling you that BMC Smash Burgers’ flat top grilled burgers rank right up there with the best burgers (no matter how prepared) that I’ve ever eaten! – And its flat top grilled hot dogs ain’t exactly chopped liver either!

Let’s wrap up BMC Smash Burgers by saying, off the chart delicious food, if you’re not into burgers/ hot dogs/ tots/ french fries you’re gonna be hurting, this joint is an absolute must try!

***** Windy City Pizza, 401 West Atlantic Avenue, Delray Beach, Florida 33444, (561) 266-2811.

Got a real good 4-month old pizza joint for you guys- and I do mean real good, Windy City Pizza in Delray Beach!

The joint seats something like 20 people and “specializes” in Chicago Style thin-crust pizza. Throw in a handful of appetizers, salads and hot subs- and you pretty much got the whole menu-shooting match! You can check menu/prices/info at delraywindycitypizza.com. The joint is open Tuesday-Friday 11:30am-9pm, Saturday-Sunday 3pm-9pm, closed Monday.

Just between you guys and Jeff Eats “most” people know that Chicago is known for deep-dish pizza…as Gomer Pyle once said (actually it was more like 23,489 times) surprise, surprise, surprise!- in reality there is more to that story than meets the eye (if you choose to believe Jeff Eats’ friend Warren who has lived in Chicago for the past 41 years)- North Chicago is known for deep-dish pizza and South Chicago is known for thin crust pizza!

Long story short,

Last night Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats ate at Windy City (for those who don’t know, Chicago’s nickname is The Windy City) and I gotta tell you that the joint makes some of the most delicious thin crust pizza that we’ve had in a very long time. Just so you know, Windy City’s round pizza is cut into small squares and features a delicious super thin crispy crust and a dynamite sweet sauce. For good measure, Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats also split a house salad and a fried zucchini appetizer, both of which killed!

Let Jeff Eats wrap this baby up for you, Windy City makes delicious thin crust pizza. Based on Jeff Eats being on a diet 😏- I passed on trying Windy City’s sub-offerings! But trust me when I tell you, I definitely have plans to do so, in the very near future.
