Where I Go Out
Thick cut potato chips
$$, American,
"People tell me they think this place is too hyped, but I’m a believer. Crunchy and delicious—enough said. Make sure to get an extra helping of that caramelized onion dip, and you’re good to go."
Granola pancakes
$$, Happy Hour, Full Bar, American, Outdoor Seating, Breakfast, Flamingo / Lummus
"The pancakes at Front Porch Café come with a side of sweet nostalgia. The addition of granola, oatmeal, almonds, and honey make these pancakes simply wonderful."
Llewellyn's fine fried chicken
$$$, Happy Hour, Full Bar, Outdoor Seating, American, Southern / Soul, Flamingo / Lummus
"This is a very homestyle fried chicken. The topping is crunchy and dense, but won’t leave you with grease all over your fingers. Yardbird is just such a cool place to hang out and feel the 'Southern vibe.'"
Creamy polenta
$$$$, Full Bar, Outdoor Seating, Reservations, Italian, Mid Beach
"This polenta makes me question how it could be that good. That’s just how good it is."
Croquetas
$$$, Outdoor Seating, Full Bar, Happy Hour, Spanish, Bayshore
"This is the best 'real' croquetta outside of Spain. It's got this perfectly creamy potato filling complemented by smoky ham (serrano ham, nonetheless), all sealed in a crispy breaded coating. Three of these and a glass of wine, and I'm in heaven."
At My Venues
Hot chocolate
