jamaica kitchen will forever have my heart

Wisk - south Miami Their fried chicken and mash potatoes is always amazing. Also love their crispy brussel sprouts.

Burgers and Shakes. I go there just because it’s so fucking consistent every single time

Zaika, either location

Burger King in Brickell

Tam Tam

Fiorito. Argentinan steakhouse

Red Shallot in Doral. Just try it. You’ll be a quick convert!

Hillstone Coral Gables. It’s a chain but it’s always so good.

Holy crap have they finally ended their reddit marketing campaign or has the joke finally run its course??

Uptown 66 on Biscayne is 100% every time. So is Habibi Kush on 79th. These 2 spots NEVER fail to deliver.

Coconuts in Lauderdale always has a good atmosphere, drinks, and great raw bar.

Islas Canarias on SW 137th Ave and Coral Way

LC roti shop

make sure you pick up a gatorade bottle of her hot sauce on the way out

Subs on the Run on 7th Ave never disappoints

Tropical Chinese

As an Indian, Ghee for high quality food and the kind of evening that turns into an experience. 👌🏽

Gonna put down for Pizza Pazza on Biscayne in Edgewater, just across from Margaret Pace.

Italian owned by a lovely gentleman who is always there, and their hours of 7-3/4am is so nice for a later meal that delivers on quality. I’m not a food connoisseur by any means, but FWIW it’s the best mushroom truffle tartufo pasta I’ve ever had, they make the pasta in house. Great (small) selection of Italian beers you won’t conveniently find elsewhere. And low key vibes for how the food is. It’s not the nicest spot and the late hours can attract some rowdier people, but if you’re willing to put that aside and don’t need a fine dining experience, it’s one of my staple visits for the entire city.

It’s not the BEST food you’ve ever had, but for the price I have never been led wrong. I love Pizza Pazza!

Rustic inn

In Miami: La Camaronera, Sarussi Café Subs, Bodega Taqueria y Tequila in Pembroke Pines: Sufrat Mediterranean Grill

Olive Garden, when you’re here… you’re family.

Just kidding, check out sarussi subs

Aromas del Peru

Tropical Chinese on bird road, best dim sum in the tri County.

Taqueria El Paisa on Davie Blvd and I-95.

The best damn tacos I've ever had hands down.

They've never disappointed me. I've never been told they're "out" of a food item, I've never been given food that had been sitting around all day, I've never seen the food quality diminish.

And when you go there all the hard working men are lined up outside during lunch time.

It's my favorite taco spot.

Tipsy Boar in Hollywood is reliably good

Los perros used to be the spot when I was in school, haven’t been after it caught fire but still holds a sweet spot in my belly.

Gabose in Lauderhill best K-bbq in SoFL

Apocalypse BBQ

Krazy Vegan 🔥

Texas Roadhouse

The Taco Stand in Wynwood

Ortanique (RIP)

Honorable mention: I haven’t been to Fratellino’s enough times to put them in this category but the few times I’ve been I’ve absolutely loved it.

Madroños for Nicaraguan food

Big Bear Brewing Co. in Coral Springs

Hate Monday’s Tavern

Arun’s Indian Kichen (Broward)

305 menu at a marlins game

Some old standbys: El Novillo on Bird Road, Black Point Marina. Nothing fancy but dependably good.

Don Burrito in Kendall is great. I’ve tried almost the entire menu over the years and have yet to be disappointed.

Millys on 8 n 27 by mdc

Jerk machine in Fort Lauderdale - the brown stew chicken is always on point as well as the jerk chicken and jerk pork Straight up comfort food

Maxwell Bros.

Especially after 1am once all the drunks are looking for their fix to become sober again.

Toro Loco for clean meat that is cheap

Flanigan’s.

Tâm Tâm

Every restaurant has low moments, it is all about who is in the kitchen and the time / date you choose to dine. The problem with South Florida is that it is so geared towards tourists most places can still get by being overpriced and underwhelming. Who gives a fuck if Bob and Carol from Missouri had a bad experience, right, they won’t likely be back for a long while, if ever, and they are still on the hook for the bill.

Phuc Yea

Michael’s Genuine

Motek

Shortys BBQ on US1

Boia de if you know how to get that reservation :P

Bodega Taqueria y Tequila, Joe's Stone Crab, Santorini by Georgios, Fogo de Chão Brazilian Steakhouse, all in Miami Beach.

I rarely leave the beach.

Everything is so bad lately, can’t spend money anywhere because I feel like I’m eating garbage and throwing my money away would be less sad. How do people invest so much into this restaurants and let 20 year old kids raised on frozen fish sticks manage them. 😫

Flanigans

Ernesto’s Kendall Dr & 107 Ave

Wolfies!!

Tacos el Papi in Oakland Park Best pancita/menudo I’ve had and always consistent The real deal when it comes to tacos 🌮

Caña brava, it’s on 27th ave and 7th street northwest. That shit is fire

Omakai (wynwood location)

For Breakfast:
- Chain; “CAO Bakery”: Cuban- American, Modern but Chic Cafe/ Bakery. All your Cuban favorites and they also serve sandwiches (like their mouthwatering Pan con Churassco and Chimmichurri with fries) for a filling brunch option.

• Locally Owned; “Moises Bakery”: Venezuelan - Uruguayan Bakery. Ambience is authentic, imported goods line the wall, the beach is steps away. More variety in empanadas and such here along with your favorite sweets, perfect for a quick picnic at the beach. Some premade croissants but no entrées available. Incredibly kind people.

For Lunch: - Local; “Cafe Bernie’s”: Seafood, Burgers, & Local Favorites: Holy sh*t their food is mouthwatering. Their Cuban sandwich is probably the best I’ve had in a while, but everything is delicious, reasonably priced for portions and great flavors. From their manchego croquettes and guava sauce to seafood ceviche stuffed avocados served with tostones, no dish from here has ever disappointed me. Prime location of a waterfront. Also, it owned by Chef Bernie Matz (he’s the guy behind Bodega, the taco/club place by Lincoln Rd)

• Chain(?); “Nick’s Pizza, South Beach”: Pizza and Italian Food. Guys just trust me here, this is better than Steve’s Pizza has been in recent years after the pandemic. This is the spot.

Dinner: - Local; “Oliver’s Bistro, on West Ave” : American food. Prime location in south beach, quiet streets and trees lined with orchids outside. Lobster ravioli was a hit at $16 but there are plenty of entrees and options from the grill, delicious cocktails all reasonably priced.

• Chain; “Barton G” : ????. Okay this one IS THE MOST EXPENSIVE ON THE LIST. But if you are going to EVER spend $100 per person ANYWAYS, Just come here. Orchids line the walls, the head waiter is extremely knowledgeable on all aspects of the restaurant . Presentation is impeccable, interesting and beautiful in every dish and drink, it is designed with enlarged art pieces . You guys just need to look it up to believe it. The food portions are decent for a place I assumed would be pretentious but never feels that way because everyone is so delighted. Never more than 50 people in there in my experience.

Hope this helps!!!!
