If You’re Hungry for Ribs, Go Whole Hog at Troy’s Bar-Be-Que

August 27, 2015 by

Housed in a humble red roadside shack along Federal Highway in Boynton Beach, it’s easy to miss Troy’s Bar-Be-Que, especially since it’s only open Thursdays through Saturdays. Moreover, the seating accommodations are a simple red picnic table and a handful of folding chairs lined up under the front patio.

It probably won’t impress you on first sight, but regulars attest that if you take one whiff of the ribs, sliced brisket, or chicken coming off the wood-fired smokers that Troy himself is watching, and you’ll know you’ve come to the right place! Yelp reviewers praise the pulled pork sandwich, tender slow-cooked ribs, sweet baked beans, and simmered collard greens.

Since seating is limited, most customers order takeout, but if you can, try to sit down under a nice shade tree and strike up a conversation with friendly strangers.

Get Wise to One of Boynton Beach’s Best Breakfasts at the Green Owl

August 6, 2015 by

The line that stretches outside of Boynton Beach's Green Owl on weekend mornings tells you all you need to know: this is one of the neighborhood’s favorite spots for breakfast and brunch! There’s nothing fancy about the space — it’s located in an unassuming strip mall, the dining room is a few simple tables and booths surrounding a counter, and the menu features straightforward diner fare, like eggs, bacon, hash browns, and pancakes.

So why is the Green Owl so popular? Many say it's due to the service. Regulars praise the staff at the Green Owl for their efficiency and enthusiasm. That commitment to service comes from the top, as you will notice when you spot owner Matthew McKnight working the kitchen and chatting with customers.

Insider tip: this place can get pretty busy for lunch, so to beat the crowds, stop by a bit later for lunch.

Bite Into Brick-Oven Pizza at Mamma Mia Italian Restaurant

July 30, 2015 by

It has been nearly 35 years since Mamma Mia Italian Restaurant first opened its doors, and during that time it has become synonymous with consistency, quality, and convenience. Tucked into a shopping plaza in between a deli and a cobbler, this family-owned Italian eatery in Boynton Beach is building its second generation of loyal customers. Mamma Mia has also made it a point to keep its kitchen staff largely unchanged over the years, and that continuity makes for a better and more reliable dining experience for everyone.

Pizza lovers embrace Mamma Mia for its array of New York-style, brick-oven-fired pizzas, in thin crust and Sicilian varieties. Specialty pizzas include the Four Seasons (ham, artichokes, mushroom, and pesto) and the Brooklyn Special (pepperoni, sausage, meatballs, bacon, peppers, and red onions). Aside from pizza, the menu features Italian-American fare classics like garlic rolls, chicken San Remo, and a decadent tiramisu.

Regulars say that the portions are generous, so be prepared to take home leftovers!

Fresh Seafood Is Served With a View at Two Georges Waterfront Grille

February 26, 2015 by

Locals have been eating at Two Georges Waterfront Grille for more than 50 years, thanks in part to the eatery's reputation for serving fresh seafood. Two Georges's location doesn't hurt, either, as it's perched right on the intracoastal waterway, and regulars recommend requesting a table on the waterfront deck where you can enjoy the breeze as you watch the boats go by.

House specials include seared Ahi tuna rolled in toasted sesame seeds and served rare with wasabi and pickled ginger, as well as broiled sea scallops with a baked potato. Of course, as with any seafood restaurant located right on the water, it's always a good idea to pay close attention to the daily chef specials, which likely include the very freshest items. Landlubbers are advised to enjoy the barbecued baby back ribs, which arrive with coleslaw and pasta salad.

Start Your Day Right With a Visit to The Original Brooklyn Water Bagel Co.

February 12, 2015 by

Bagels are a traditional food, and you can't mess with tradition, right? Right. But you can improve on tradition, say the owners of Brooklyn Water Bagel Co. This bagel bakery combines an old-world artisanal bagel recipe with advanced water purification technology, which, in turn, gives this shop's boiled bagels their signature flavor. What does that mean for customers? Reliable, tasty bagels that are crunchy on the outside and chewy on the inside!

Stop by on your way to work and pick up a dozen bagels and housemade cream cheese for the office. Try a whole wheat bagel with strawberry cream cheese, or sink your teeth into an onion bagel with jalapeno cream cheese. If you're looking for something a bit heartier, try one of the restaurant's signature sandwiches. Maybe tuna salad and American cheese on a toasted plain bagel will hit the spot!
