Shishka Lebanese Grill Pompano Beach

Every once in awhile I have to take a walk on the "wild" side and this last Tuesday evening brought me to Shishka Lebanese Grill in the New Pompano Citi Centre located at 1955 N Federal Highway. This cute Mediterranean food spot fills the air with with tantalizing aromas as you start getting closer to the door. They have outside as well as inside seating and you can eat in or get your order to go.

The Hog Pompano Beach

We were getting ready for lunch one day last week and Dave said, "I heard there's a new barbecue place that opened up in Pompano called 'The Hog' and maybe we should check it out." It sounded good to Dale and I so we drove over and met Dave outside.



I guess you would call the decor 'rustic with a hint of galvanized steel.' It just screams barbecue and makes the place feel real homey. You walk in past a large billboard that serves as the menu. Make up your mind then step up to the counter and place your order. Take a seat and the food is brought to you!

Salt & Pepper Chef

I found this Latin American grill on a coupon site where they had a $25.00 coupon for $2.00. Quite a deal! Dave, Dale and I went by there for a very late lunch one weekday afternoon to try it out. It was about 3:45 pm when we arrived. No wonder the place was empty and the staff was setting up the tables for dinner. We understood the late time and didn't complain about the lack of silverware or condiments on the table.

This place was formerly called Latin Conga

Farradday's at the Isle Casino

It was my birthday weekend and Michelle and I decided to go to Farraday's at the Isle to celebrate. I had a coupon from the Isle for $50.00 towards food at any of their restaurants. Farraday's is a really beautiful restaurant and once inside you don't realize that your inside a casino.



It was late, so we had no difficulty in being shown to a very nice seat immediately. We chose a shell against the wall so we could sit next to each other and still do some good people watching. We ordered drinks and bread was served as we looked over the menu.

American Roadhouse

Here's another good place that I discovered thru the GottaHalfIt social group buying website. The offer was to pay $15.00 for $35.00 worth of food and drinks at American Roadhouse in Pompano. It is in the same location where the now defunct Hop's was near the SW corner of Sample and Federal.

Bobby Rubino's Place for Ribs

Here go the rib wars! Everyone has a favorite place for baby back ribs. I love baby back ribs and I check them out at all the places I go that serve them. Lately I've had them at Bru's Room, PA BBQ, and Flanigans. But my all time favorite place for baby backs is Bobby Rubinos.

Back in the day, I frequented the Hallandale Beach Boulevard location. I usually ordered the "Steel City" rack with french fries and cole slaw.

Myron's Deli at the Isle Casino

When you go to the Isle Casino at Pompano Park you become part of the "captive audience" and if you want something to eat your selection is limited to the Isle run restaurants.

When I'm there I always enjoy a corned beef or pastrami sandwich at Myron's.
