  • Big City Hot Dog Stand

    1199 E. Commercial Blvd. Oakland Park

    954-776-4744

    The hot dogs and sandwiches hail from New York and Chicago at this popular Commercial Boulevard lunch counter. Franks this good could hold their own in any big city: The Polish ($5), a spiced, hot dog/sausage hybrid topped with sautéed onions and mustard, is definitely a worth making the trip. The aptly named "ripper" ($3.50) is not for the faint of heart, either: Big City starts with an ordinary dog, then wraps it in bacon, deep-fries it Jersey-style, and drenches it with creamy nacho cheese sauce. In addition to the dogs, Big City dishes up stellar Italian beef sandwiches, Philly cheesesteaks, and messy half-pound burgers that can hang with the best in South Florida. There's a second location in Davie.

  • Bokamper's Sports Bar & Grill

    1280 S. Pine Island Rd., Plantation Fort Lauderdale

    954-533-7152

    Dolphins vet (and Plantation resident) Kim "Kimbo" Bokamper started this neighborhood hang to indulge his sports fetish, and it shows. Fifty plasma TVs enough for ya? If you know what most places with that sort of cathodic bling are like in terms of atmosphere, you probably have a good idea what to expect from the food. A few entrees, like the blackened swordfish sandwich and Bo's burger (with a fried egg poised atop) stand out on the menu, but beers, wings, and football: That trusty trifecta is always going strong at Bokamper's.

  • Boulevard Subs

    1100 E. Oakland Park Blvd. Oakland Park

    954-561-1934

    A sub is a sandwich made on a lengthy loaf of crusted bread that is layered with cold cuts, lettuce, tomato, and numerous garnishings, splashed with olive oil and vinegar, and dashed with salt, coarse ground pepper, and, if you're lucky, oregano. You can also call a sub a hoagie. Or a grinder. Or a hero. Or a Blimpie if you hang with the wrong sort of people. The right sort would be the types who frequent Marco's Boulevard Subs in Fort Lauderdale, where they pile on the ham, salami, capicola, and provolone and top it with salad, pickles, and peppers -- hot and sweet. A dozen types of hefty cold-cut-based subs are tossed together with aplomb, including a kick-ass BLT. Sub rolls come in whole wheat too for those who wish to delude themselves into thinking they're eating health food. Does Boulevard finish its sandwiches with a sprinkle of oregano? Of course -- this is, after all, the top stop for those to whom subway means only that train in NYC.

    2925 NE Sixth Ave. Wilton Manors

    954-533-4350

    The postcard-size menu at Bravo! Gourmet Sandwich Shop in Wilton Manors promises "The Best sandwich you'll ever taste!" The Peruvian sandwiches are full of juicy pork, flavorful country ham, and well-spiced onions, all served on these bulky, flaky buns that perfectly soak up the meat juices and spicy sauce. On Sundays, get a traditional Peruvian feast of fried pork chunks, slices of sweet potatoes, spiced onions, and a banana-leaf-wrapped tamale.

  • Brother Tuckers

    3332 E. Atlantic Blvd. Pompano Beach

    954-785-1984

    Remember Friar Tuck, that rotund disciple of Robin Hood whose proselytizations involved food and booze more often than God? Well, if the goodly father had found his way from 11th-century England and somehow landed smack in the middle of Pompano Beach, he'd have quit the priesthood and opened Brother Tuckers, a saintly themed gastropub that seeks perfection in its most ingestible forms. It's a hole in the wall that would feel dusty if it weren't so clean and homey, literally hidden behind red brick and old wood. Inside, punters sip dozens of varieties of Belgian and Old World brews from style-appropriate glassware (snifters, pint glasses, mugs, and goblets) and feast on the small-but-well-conceived menu of upscale pub food. Daily specials (Thursday to Sunday) offer great variety, like a juicy, fresh mozzarella-and-bacon-stuffed meat-loaf sandwich or sirloin steak pounded thin and doused in homemade chimichurri. Other menu choices include salads with cranberries and grilled chicken, pork tenderloin with "Tucker" BBQ sauce, and a Monk's pizza with clams, garlic, and oregano. The house burger, decked in salsa and jalapeños, could make a case for best in SoFla. Tuckers closing times aren't posted, though it stays open fairly late for those seeking to revel in the great food, beer, and atmosphere.

  • Bru's Room Sports Grill

    123 NE 20th Ave. Deerfield Beach

    954-420-5959

    Adore the new girlfriend but still not sure whether she can handle your Sunday football fanaticism? Then take her to this game-day headquarters and test her endurance. If she's a keeper, she won't mind your attention drifting to one of several TVs broadcasting football, baseball, basketball, wrestling and NASCAR because she'll be entranced in the Dolphins game anyways. If she bellys up to the bar with you for $1.50 drafts and a heaping plate of Triple Threat wings (BBQ, Sweet 'N' Tangy and grilled with minced garlic) then take her home to meet the folks tonight. Deep-fried pickle chips, toasted ravioli with marinara sauce, hand-tossed pizzas and Angus beef burgers may inspire you to ask the staff if they'll cater your upcoming nuptials. That is of course, if Bru's namesake Bob "Bru" Brudzinski will officiate the services. A kid-friendly atmosphere ensures many visits for the two of you for years to come.

  • Cafe Paraiso

    925 N. Andrews Ave., Lauderdale Lakes Fort Lauderdale

    954-467-1830

    Downtown day workers have been grabbing a quick lunch at this Cuban sandwich stand along Andrews Avenue for years, since it was known as Sury's. But recently, the walkup counter has been taken over by the property's original owners, who have cleaned the place up and revamped the menu. Where the old stand was dirty and in disrepair, the new look is muy limpio, with freshly prepared food to match. Park in back next to the quirky, oceanic art and pull up a stool at the counter. For around six bucks, you can get a grilled-steak sandwich with griddled onions and hot, pressed Cuban bread, topped with lettuce, tomato, and crispy fried potato sticks (for an authentic crunch). Pork and croquetas sandwiches are constructed in much the same way, as is the trademark Cuban sandwich, made with sweet ham, pickles, and savory roasted pork. Paraiso also makes a great bean- and meat-laden chili each day that you can wash down with a frosty mango batido or steamy cortadito.

  • California Burgers and Shakes

    5441 N. Federal Highway, Fort Lauderdale Beaches

    954-533-4679

    The burgers at this retro, West Coast-style joint come wrapped up in wax paper like a classic Î?50s burger shack. Not only is it cute but functional: The paper keeps the grease from dripping down your hands, allowing you to enjoy your fully decked-out, double-patty sandwich without getting too messy. California Burger also serves some mean French fries that are hand-cut with the skin on. They're soaked ahead of time to crisp up nicely and made-to-order. Even better are the shakes, which are rich and thick and made with fresh vanilla ice cream.

  • Char Hut

    2601 N. University Dr. Plantation

    954-749-0671

    Any chain restaurant applying for an operating license in Florida ought to have to complete a course in the Char-Hut methodology. This little Florida franchise, which opened its first outlet in 1976 to sell char-grilled burgers, onion rings, and hot dogs, is doing so many things right that itÂ?s easy to lose track. It serves nutritious food at low prices Â? a fresh-ground, lean burger thatÂ?s won approval from the American Heart Association; side orders of whole baked sweet or Idaho potatoes, black beans and rice, cole slaw, and plantains; salads topped with grilled tuna steak or chicken. Further, it locates its franchises in western communities and reaches out to its neighbors with specials Â? discounts for local teachers and faculty, free food for youngsters wearing uniforms on game days, Jr. burgers and hot dogs for every A a kid earns on her report card. It has stuff for vegetarians. Discounts for seniors. It's so squeaky-clean, itÂ?s almost painful; the food is delicious. With every patty flipped over a hot grill, Char Hut sews up one small tear in fast foodÂ?s tattered reputation.

  • Charm City Burgers Company

    1136 E. Hillsboro Blvd. Deerfield Beach

    954-531-0300

    Charm City's motto is, "Five star chefs, five dollar burgers." And you'll get just that: gourmet-style burgers topped with so many quality ingredients that they're literally bursting open. The messy sandwiches do pose some serious questions, such as, how do you get your mouth around a six-inch-tall burger and keep dry? But finding the answer is part of the fun. A cowboy burger pairs sautéed onions and mushrooms with thick-cut bacon. The sides rock too: Hand-cut fries are seasoned perfectly, onion rings look as plump as fat donuts, and marinated grilled wings act like Texas barbecue in that the meat falls right off the bone. Wash it all down with a cold microbrew or a Blue Bell milkshake, and you'll forget about the messiness fast.

  • Cheesesteak Experience

    3341 NE 32nd St. Fort Lauderdale

    954-616-5468

    At the corner of A1A and Oakland Park Blvd. in Fort Lauderdale you'll find the Cheesesteak Experience, a family-owned and operated establishment that makes a sandwich that rivals most others in the area. Open since 2006, they're serving some of the best cheesesteaks around, each made with chopped South Philly Brand sirloin steak imported straight from Philadelphia, authentic Amoroso steak rolls brought in daily, and tops with Cheez Whiz. The menu boasts six different steak-based cheesesteaks, and 10 chicken cheesesteaks -- including an onion ring and buffalo chicken version.

  • Delacaseas

    4404 Bougainvilla Dr., Lauderdale By The Sea Beaches

    954-958-0907

    Lauderdale-by-the-Sea is a quaint beach community with zero high-rises along a one-mile stretch. In fact, the tallest building allowed is four stories. Here, you'll find cute cafŽs like Delacaseas. Think beach-meets-country Cape Cod kitchen. The flooring is in blue and white checkers, and the place is adorned with starfish, lobsters, conch shells, rooster lamps, and floral table settings. The menu matches the vibe of the neighborhood, serving tasty, simple foods such as tuna melts, Cobb salads, wraps, and sandwiches. There's also a small traditional breakfast menu for the morning beach crowd ready to start the day by the sea.

  • Eten Food Co.

    1404 E. Las Olas Blvd. Fort Lauderdale

    954-383-4460

    Eten Food Co. is hoping to fill the cheap lunch hole on Las Olas with takeout-only soups, sandwiches, and prepared foods. It's a skinny yet trendy-looking space, with racks of wine on one wall and a glass-encased deli counter on the other. The menu is small, just soups and sandwiches, which each cost about $8. The house-roasted turkey sandwich is reminiscent of something you put together the day after Thanksgiving, with Swiss, greens, tomato, mustard mayo, and whole-grain bread. The best deal is the $7.50 to $9 lunch box that comes with a cup of soup or salad and a half sandwich. They also drop something sweet into each of the boxes. Those treats may be the best option, including a gooey chocolate truffle and a soft biscotti dipped in chocolate.

  • Falafel Benny

    658 W. Hallandale Beach Blvd. Hallandale Beach

    954-455-2118

    "Howz dee faylafell?," Ben Regev yells from behind a glass and granite countertop. Most people can only awkwardly nod as they chew on soft pitas filled with well-seasoned green falafel topped with tahini and a rainbow of fresh and pickled vegetables. As a kid growing up in Israel, Regev used to skip school to work odd jobs to buy falafel. As an adult, they've become his life. He says even Muslims come into his small shop for falafel saying "kif imeh," which in English, he says, means "like home." Nothing bridges cultural gaps like a perfect falafel.

  • Famous Phil's Sub Shop

    107 State Road 7 Plantation

    954-587-3940

    Despite the passionate counter claims of many a Philadelphian - it IS possible to get a real Philly cheesesteak outside of the City of Brotherly Love. Rare, but possible. And Famous Phil's Sub Shop in Plantation is one such place. Their Steak Bomb, as it's dubbed, is a meaty pile topped with grilled onions, peppers, mushroom, cheese and a little marinara. Not to mention their other offerings, from BLT subs to hot turkey and cheese subs to cheeseburger subs to -- yes -- salads, too. After 40+ years in business, it's obvious they're doing something right.

  • Fat Lou's

    1040 W. Hallandale Beach Blvd. Hallandale Beach

    954-458-3787

    Fat Lou's website says "Shut Up and Drink Your Beer" -- which isn't an unreasonable demand, because once you're inside this Chicago-style eatery, your mouth will be busy. Fat Lou's is a Chicago haven for sports fans; the walls are lined in Chicago Bulls, Bears, and Cubs paraphernalia, and the TVs are on. The menu boasts authentic hot-diggity-dogs just like the ones found in the streets of Chicago, made with Vienna beef and all the condiments served on a steamed poppy-seed bun. It doesn't stop there; Lou's "Dog House" menu offers a creative, mouthwatering take on the traditional wiener. For instance, the pizza dog is drenched in marinara sauce and mozzarella cheese, and the "Fat Lou" dog is done jumbo-style with melted American cheese, grilled onions, and BBQ sauce. The menu also features endless options of wings, burgers, hoagies, specialty sandwiches, ribs, chicken, and salads.

  • French Quarter Bar & Grill

    2341 N. Federal Highway, Lighthouse Point Pompano Beach

    954-781-5222

    For some of us, the French Quarter in New Orleans conjures images of French architecture, lively street musicians, and great food. For others, the quarter is a neon blur of blues bars, beads, and atomic green cocktails. The French Quarter Bar and Grill in Pompano seems to be going for a restaurant/sports bar hybrid - albeit heavy on the sports bar. From the outside, it looks similar to an old Irish Tavern - with a patio bar and Tiki torches. Inside, find oversized booths, a pool table, and several large flat-screen TVs. The restroom stall doors, deftly carved with the names of people to call for a good time, are a special treat. A charming, sun-baked musician may be strumming away and/or an MMA fight may be blaring from the TVs while you peruse the Cajun and Creole goodies. Appetizers include chicken wings, fish dip, and Southwest egg rolls. The New Orleans-influenced offerings include a seafood gumbo and blue cheese oysters. A $17 Cajun trio entrée overflows with shrimp Creole, crawfish étoufée, and jambalaya. Though the jambalaya oddly includes spaghetti noodles, the trio is delightfully filling and "junky," like a dish you'd want to eat after a night of heavy drinking. Which brings us to... cocktails. Although the French Quarter Bar and Grill doesn't have New Orleans' legendary Hand Grenades, it does sell Hurricanes that are prepared using Pat O'Brien's famous mix. Also available at the bar: Voodoo Cherry Kiss Cosmo (a cherry vanilla cosmo) or a Cool Brees (huckleberry-flavored vodka and Red Bull). Hot on the heels of the alcohol pitcher craze, the restaurant serves your choice of liquors - rum, vodka, or coconut rum - with a mixer in flame-red plastic pitchers for just $7.50. Not a bad way to start (or polish off) an evening.

    905 NE Fifth Ave. Fort Lauderdale

    954-616-5762

  • Gran Forno Bakery

    1235 E. Las Olas Blvd. Fort Lauderdale

    954-467-2244

    To find Gran Forno, you could look for the storefront window that displays bakers at work or you could simply close your eyes (mind your step) and follow your nose. The smell of bread, savory with rosemary, wafts to the street. On weekends, Gran Forno is crowded and clubby. Regulars gather in tennis togs to consult maps for their upcoming trip to Tuscany while the owners chime in with advice. Not surprisingly the focaccia, pastries, and biscotti are all excellent, but the best thing about this authentic, family-owned bakery is the way it continually pulls off the unexpected. At Thanksgiving, for example, Gran Forno's beautiful pumpkin pies no doubt upstage many a turkey. And this being Florida, the bakery also makes a key lime tartlet that, while generous, might still be a tad too small (and too delicious) to share.

  • Henry's Sandwich Station

    545 NW 1st Ave Fort Lauderdale

    954-616-5538

    954-457-3700

    This 60-seat neighborhood bistro touts a seasonal menu with global cuisine and affordable wines from around the world. Although the menu changes four times a year (or more depending on the freshest available ingredients), menu items can include things like Rioja-braised chicken with sweet potato spaetzle, homemade spinach and mushroom lasagna, and butternut squash ravioli with walnut brown butter.

  • International House of Schnitzel

    4820 N. Dixie Highway Oakland Park

    954-626-0723

    It's safe to say the thin, breaded meat cutlet known as schnitzel is not quite as buzzworthy as pancakes, the specialty of another, well-known international house. But even if it doesn't always get the respect it deserves, schnitzel is undoubtedly more popular worldwide, whether it goes by the name "milanesa" in Italy and Latin America or simply "chicken cutlet" here at home. The International House of Schnitzel - a quirky restaurant next door to the Fox and Hound Pub - specializes in the chicken version of the dish (not pork or more expensive veal). The tiny lunch spot pounds its schnitzel to a perfect quarter-inch thickness, coats it in breadcrumbs, and bakes it until a luscious, crisp coating forms on the surface. IHOS completes the working-class dish with amazing, German-style red cabbage and a side of mashed potatoes for just $5.95. The same thing stuffed on a Kaiser roll and served with lettuce, tomato, and homemade garlic mayonnaise costs less than $5. The entire menu is made from scratch daily by owners Rudi Pollak and Eli Herschkovich, two 30-year industry vets who have an undying love for the feel-good dish. IHOS serves breakfast all day, as well as subs, soups, burgers, salads, knishes, and some of the flakiest, freshest homemade apple strudel you'll find.

  • La Mia Focaccia

    6330 N. Powerline Rd. Fort Lauderdale

    954-772-9499

    A longstanding establishment and lunch spot, La Mia Focaccia, has been dishing out some amazing eats for close to 20 years. The owner and her son bring a taste of authentic Italian cuisine to the area with their line of fresh-made focaccia and panini breads baked daily, and on-premise. Free of preservatives, and topped with fresh organic herbs grown from the owner's own garden. They include rosemary and garlic; artichoke and olive; and tomato, basil and garlic -- soft, fresh breads the size of small plate. Sandwiches include ingredients like grilled eggplants, roasted peppers, sundried tomatoes, broccoli rabe, prosciutto, and homemade Italian sausage. Once you've managed to narrow down the options, they'll assemble your sandwich in front of you, and throw it under the panini press to melt cheese and toast the bread. A crowd favorite: #21, a combination of spinach, smoked mozzarella, roasted peppers, and chicken.

  • LaSpada's Original Hoagies

    233 Commercial Blvd., Lauderdale By The Sea Beaches

    954-776-7893

    Since 1973, LaSpada's has been flinging sliced deli meats into waiting hoagie rolls with a deft touch. But meaty acrobatics are just one of the infamous sub shop's trademarks. The other is its method of sandwich construction. A testament to flawless hoagie engineering, LaSpada's first preps a giant, fresh-baked roll with mayo and mustard (or olive oil and vinegar, for the Italian hoagies). Next goes a thick layer of deli meat - Italian capicolla, salami, and sweet ham; USDA-choice roast beef cooked rosy pink; oven-baked turkey breast - before handfuls of fresh lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, and sweet and hot peppers find their way atop. Finally, the mammoth constructs are encased with one last layer of cold cuts, carefully tucked in tight along each side of the roll. The sheathing not only preserves the proper ratio of meat-to-bun per bite but also ensures that none of the fine ingredients will tumble out prematurely. Genius!

  • Los Perros

    4491 N. University Dr. Lauderhill

    954-741-1990

    Los Perros' lone Broward outpost is hidden deep in western Lauderhill, a suburban area that's not exactly renowned for its nightlife. Even so, this location of the clubby, Miami-based hot dog chain sticks to the Colombian formula that made it a hit: Its walls are painted a dark blue, and the lighting is dim, and the room is festooned with plasma TVs playing music videos from Daddy Yankee and Shakira. The dogs are colossal and topped with a kitchen sink's worth of ingredients, including (but not limited to) bacon, mozzarella cheese, crushed potato chips, pureed pineapple, onion, ketchup, sour cream, and house pink sauce. The fatty/salty/starchy/sweet dogs make fantastic drunken food, so it's a good thing Los Perros is open late - till 6 a.m. on weekends, in fact.

  • Master Cake Bakery

    9924 Pines Blvd., Pembroke Pines Hollywood

    954-842-4819

    By now, we're sure you've heard enough of us extolling the many virtues of the Pembroke Pines Master Cake Bakery owned by European-trained, Israeli-born pastry chef and second generation baker Mickey Grunberger, who opened the kosher bakery in 2013. The "cronut-like" doughnuts, or “dossants” as Grunberger likes to call them, are made from scratch daily using traditional French and Hungarian baking techniques. Although you won't find any other type of traditional American fried dough here, you can browse the bakery's display cases filled with fresh pastries, custom cakes, challah bread, danishes, rugelach -- and, yes, croissants.

  • Mediterranean Market

    1021 E. Las Olas Blvd. Fort Lauderdale

    954-463-1212

    Though lamb chops, tenderloin, stone crab, and high-end to-go food is how this Las Olas shop has made its mark, Mediterranean Market offers some of the finest sandwiches youâ??ve never had. Composed of meat thatâ??s notches above Boarâ??s Head, the sandwiches steer toward traditional, with elevated quality. Whether itâ??s an Italian, a ham and Swiss on rye, or roasted vegetables with pesto on a roll, sandwiches are paired with pickles, house-made slaw, and potato salad. Split pea, lobster bisque, curry chicken, and dozens of soups are also available, made in-house from scratch. Although the market may be a darling among yachties and one-percenters, the prices are accessible for Everyman. Take out, eat in the clean, well-lighted place, or grab a table outside in the sun.
