November 6, 2014 by

If you’re looking for a delicious breakfast from a charming, family-owned restaurant, make a trip to East Ocean Cafe. The husband and wife team who founded this cute local spot put their hearts into every dish that comes out of the kitchen, and it shows in the smiles of satisfied customers.

The menu is well-regarded, with breakfast specialties that have diners raving. The East Ocean Standard pairs eggs with your choice of sausage, ham, or bacon and a side of excellent creamy grits. If you have a sweet tooth, the challah French toast is amazing; it's crusted with almonds for a little crunch.

Prime Catch: Waterfront Atmosphere and Mouth-Watering Taste

October 23, 2014 by

Imagine savoring a plate of grilled swordfish with garlic whipped potatoes, roasted mushrooms, and a salad of fresh spring greens as you sit on the waterfront enjoying the sunset and a light evening breeze. Sound nice? It's just what you'll get at Prime Catch, one of Boynton Beach's favorite waterfront restaurants.

The menu here is strong on seafood, of course, but you'll also find an array of land-based favorites including steaks, brisket, and prime rib, as well as lighter poultry and vegetable-based dishes. Whatever you order, don't forget to leave room for dessert, because Prime Catch has a large and delectable set of house-made choices. For deep, rich flavor, try the flourless chocolate cake, layered with chocolate mousse and ganache. Fruit lovers won't want to miss the warm cobbler duo, which includes slices of blueberry and apple cobbler baked in a delicate cinnamon and pecan crust.

Hit the Spot with Rice’s Thai Cuisine

September 25, 2014 by

A relaxed atmosphere, friendly staff, generous portions, and inexpensive prices all combine to make Rice a favorite with Boynton Beach locals. In fact, this Thai restaurant is busy enough that reservations are always recommended—and are required for large groups.

When you sit down with the menu, you'll see a wide variety of delectable appetizers to start your meal. Try the grilled chicken satay, infused with a hint of coconut and ideal for dipping in the accompanying coconut and peanut sauces. Or order a cup of Rice's famous coconut soup, studded with mushrooms, tomatoes, and cilantro. One Yelp reviewer says the coconut soup is "beyond delicious" and reports that she sometimes requests a larger bowl and makes it her entree.

The more traditional Thai entrees are also a good choice at Rice. Try the iconic pad Thai noodles or the crispy spicy basil over rice. Whatever you order, you can be sure that each plate will arrive on the table as a work of art, the food beautifully arranged and garnished with colorful flowers and hand-carved vegetables.

Eddie and Anthony's is a Boynton Beach favorite. The pizzas here are hand-tossed and made with the best fresh ingredients, and the sauce is made fresh every day with ripe, delicious tomatoes. The end result is a pizza pie that’s thin, crisp, and delicious, topped just the way you like it.

Some favorite pizza combinations among regular diners include the broccoli rabe with gorgonzola and fresh tomatoes, as well as the hearty meat lover’s pie.

The Diner: South Florida Breakfast Food

June 5, 2014 by

The classic American diner is one of the country’s iconic restaurants, a comfortable, casual space to enjoy reasonably priced food in sizable portions with nothing too fancy. As you might guess from its name, Boynton Beach’s The Diner doesn’t step too far out of that footprint, which is fine by its patrons. Regulars rave about the American classics on offer here. In fact, The Diner is widely recognized as one of the best breakfast deals in town!

Go for an awesome five-egg omelet, which will satiate even the hungriest of diners. Other excellent breakfast options include the eggs with biscuits and gravy and the thick, perfectly crispy Belgian waffles. Chocolate chip pancakes also win raves. For lunch, locals recommend the house-made Angus beef burgers (opt for Cheddar cheese and bacon for a classic meal). Sandwiches are also solid, with the Double Monty a particular favorite.

The Diner is open 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily. Be warned: The wait for a table can get really long, especially on Sunday mornings as the post-church crowd congregates here.

Twirl a Fork Into a Plate of Pasta at Portobella

May 22, 2014 by

When you dine at an Italian restaurant, you go in expecting tradition. Portobella delivers that in spades. Opened by Victor Scarpulla in 1987, this place has a quarter-century of serving up awesome food under its belt, and locals are crazy about the pizza and pasta here.

South Florida isn’t really renowned as a pizza region, but the pies at Portobella are New York-style through and through, with a thin, crispy crust just solid enough to support an excellent sauce and your choice of toppings. Some favorite combinations from regular diners include the Caprese and the Portobella house special, but they’re all quite good. For entrees, the chicken parm is well-received, slathered in sauce and cheese. Pasta dishes also come highly recommended, with the linguine alla Vongole a favorite. Some complain that dinner prices can be a little steep, but you certainly get a lot of food for your money!

Located within the Boynton West shopping center, Portobella is open 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Mondays through Thursdays, 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays, and 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. Sundays.
