***** Little Louie’s Italian Kitchen, 4254 Southwest 152nd Avenue, Miami, Florida 33185, (305) 225-1500.

Got a really good “mom & pop” red sauce Italian joint for you…Little Louie’s Italian Kitchen in Miami.

Handful of tables-and absolutely positively nothing fancy going on here. As the Dave Clark sang, “The name of the game, is I like it like that.”-and Little Louie’s is exactly “how” Jeff Eats likes his “mom & poppers.”

Now you know and I know- that “mom & pop” red sauce Italian joints are a dime a dozen down here in South Florida- with that in mind, “we” can afford to be kinda picky when it comes to laying down our hard earned cash..

Jeff Eats, Mrs. Jeff Eats and a couple of friends recently gave Little Louie’s a shot for dinner-and I gotta tell you, the calamari fritti, Caesar salad, lasagna bolognese, veal parmigiana, frutti de mare, cheese pizza that were delivered to our table were all-right on the money. Us guys know-that pecking orders are silly, but I gotta tell you that the frutti de mare was outrageously good and the thin/crisp/sweet sauce pizza was absolute dynamite. Now don’t get me wrong, everything else was delicious, but these two “dishes” were homeruns!

As expected, Little Louie’s menu has the full boat of expected appetizers, pastas, pizzas, subs, entrees (that come with soup or salad/garlic rolls/pasta side ). Check menu/prices/info at littlelouiesitaliannkitchen.com.

Like I said a few seconds ago, “a dime a dozen”…

Let me wrap this up for you. If Little Louie’s was by my house-Jeff Eats would be a very steady eat-in/takeout customer. The stuff I “had” ran circles around the-food served up by most of the “mom & pop” red sauce joints down here in South Florida.

Little Louie’s Italian Kitchen is open Sunday-Thursday 11am-10pm, Friday-Saturday 111am-11pm.

***** Jeremiah’s Italian Ice, 8170 Glades Road K-2, Boca Raton, Florida 33434, (561)465-3274.

Got a real good Italian Ice/Soft Serve Ice Cream/Gelati joint for you guys to checkout, Jeremiah’s Italian Ice in Boca Raton.

Real simple tale to tell, Jeremiah’s is a fast growing Italian Ice franchise (since 2019) which currently has stores spread-out over Florida. Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina, Texas. Three weeks ago, Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff “discovered” Jeremiah’s Boca Raton joint and have been back 5 times since that initial outing. Order/pickup at inside counter/outside walk-up windows, handful of inside/outside tables, reasonably priced- 40 rotating and seasonal Italian Ice flavors/ vanilla-chocolate soft serve/ loads of toppings menu.

Now, just between you and me, I kinda think that I know my Italian Ices and Soft Serve Ice Cream and I’m telling you guys that Jeremiah’s Italian Ice is turning out absolutely delicious stuff!

Like I said a few seconds ago, Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats have been to Jeremiah’s 6 times (between 7:30-9:30pm) and each and every time- there were lines both inside and outside with people waiting to order. In addition, every table inside/ outside was taken. Of interest, all ages were there.

Not sure as to how it all plays out franchise wise, but for right now, the Jeremiah’s (which opened in Boca Raton on June 28th, 2021)) looks like a home-run business!

Checkout jeremiahsice.com for locations/menu/prices/info.

Jeremiah’s Italian Ice is open, Sunday-Thursday noon-10pm, Friday-Saturday noon-11pm

NYY Steak (Coconut Creek)
Posted on August 11th, 2015

***** NYY Steak, (Seminole Casino Coconut Creek) 5550 Northwest 40th Street, Coconut Creek, Florida 33073, (954) 997-6700.

Way-back on 2/15/12 Jeff Eats told you guys about NYY Steak located in the Seminole Casino Creek Coconut Creek- in Coconut Creek. That “review” is down-below…

Long story short, since that “review” was published, Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats have eaten in NYY something like 5-times, with the latest “outing”- being last night. For what it’s worth, all of the meals that Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats have had, were all right on the money!

Last night, I got to thinking that Jeff Eats rarely if ever hears- NYY Steak mentioned in conversations about South Florida’s best steak-joints. No ifs, ands or buts- the 26oz bone-in-ribeye with grilled onions and French fries- that I had last night and didn’t come close to finishing- could easily be matched against the best of breed down here in sunny South Florida-same story for Mrs. Jeff Eats’ pan seared snapper!

NYY Steak (Coconut Creek)

***** NYY Steak, (Seminole Casino Coconut Creek) 5550 Northwest 40th Street, Coconut Creek, Florida 33073, (954) 997-6700.

Go figure!

One of the best-“upscale steakhouses” in South Florida is located at the Seminole Casino Coconut Creek in- Coconut Creek…That’s right, the casino where you-gotta wear an oxygen mask because the cigarette smoke is so brutal—as part of a recently completed $150,000,000 renovation/expansion has opened an absolutely georgeous looking steakhouse with fabulous food and service. You can check www.seminolecoconutcreekcasino.com for menu/prices/photos. By the way, NYY is a joint venture–Seminole Indians/New York Yankees (there is another NYY at Yankee Stadium).

NYY…New York Yankees, get it? All kinds, of New York Yankee black/white photos, autographs…no dark wood–or dim lights here…but rather, a great looking open kitchen, light oak woods, bright lights, plenty of glass. Like I said before, an absolutely gorgeous looking joint.

When you check NYY’s menu, try not to get sticker-shock…no question about it- that $51.75 24oz bone in ribeye is “high” even for an upscale steakhouse–Now, I maybe going out on a limb here, but I think- that casino-joints like NYY get a ton of customers using their casino “PLAYER’S CLUB” rewards/points to pay the bill. If I’m right—the restaurant can charge more than what most folks would consider “normal”- because many customers aren’t using real-money. So, if you go there, I think you will find that many of the “diners” are eating on-the-arm.

At this juncture of the discussion, let me tell you that NYY looks totally out of place at the Seminole Casino. Nothing for nothing, but the Seminole Casino isn’t in this boy’s opinion–an upscale looking property. Now, there may-be something more developing at the Seminole Casino that’s gonna get it looking more like the Hard Rock operation in Hollywood-so NYY may eventually make sense, but for right now, NYY looks like a fish out of water. Personally, I don’t see non-casino players making special plans/reservations to eat at NYY, despite the fact that its food is absolutely dynamite.

A recent dinner had me “doing” the aforementioned 24oz ribeye, 28oz porterhouse ($54.75), veal chop milanase ($44.50), roast chicken ($28.50), lemon pepper halibut ($31.50), steak fries ($9.50), lobster mac & cheese ($11). Every item was delicious. On the service front, excellent without the “snotty” know-it-all attitude you find at many upscale steakhouses.

There are two ways to play NYY Steak. You can gamble your heart out…and accumulate points to spend or you can just fork over cash or your credit card at the end of the meal.

NYY Steak is a homerun…pun intended!

NYY Steak is open Monday, Thursday-Sunday 5pm-11pm. The joint is closed on Tuesday and Wednesday.
