Description

The kitschily decorated Floridian provides chi-chi Las Olas Boulevard with a shot of down-home diner attitude. Weekend mornings find the place packed with couples (gay and straight) loading up on huge made-to-order omelets, pancakes, and French toast. For an old-fashioned, protein-heavy meal, the country-fried steak and eggs can't be beat, and the biscuits and gravy will remind you that you're in the South. There's also a large selection of sandwiches (including "The Floridian," a satisfying tuna melt) and salads, plus homey hot plates like four kinds of meatloaf, fried chicken, and veal cutlets. Eighteen varieties of burger is almost too much to choose from, but the cheddar burger is one of the best in town. Service is diner-friendly too - efficient and kindly but not the least bit saccharine.

  • 2011 | Best Place to Dine With Gramps

    You and Gramps both know you get grumpy with low blood sugar by around 10:30 a.m., and the Floridian Diner, a classic local spot that caters to late-night boozers as well as early risers, is one of the only establishments open for breakfast in the Las Olas area. The food, like the service, is consistently mediocre, but there's no place more pleasant to kill a morning eating an enormous omelet with everything you crave inside and a huge helping of hash browns. Gramps is probably treating, so... More »

  • 2006 | Best Late-Night Dining

    If the late Edward Hopper were around to re-create Night Hawks -- his celebrity-filled ode to late-night dining -- he'd probably put his four famous faces at the Floridian (AKA, the Flo'). With the sort of retro diner look that befits a 24-hour joint, the Floridian takes on a surreal, time-in-reverse quality during the wee after hours. And yet, the menu is extensive enough to quell any peculiar cravings (whether it's a burger or a banana split, this is some good eatin'). Try finding a... More »

  • 2003 | Best Late-Night Dining

    The Floridian's popularity could be due to the free Tootsie Rolls at the cashier's counter. Or the politicos and wannabe politicos strutting around as if they own the place. Or maybe it's the establishment's willingness to give the back room and a highly experienced waiter to nonprofit groups for their meetings. Or it could even be the after-club boys mixing with the men in suits early in the a.m. Or maybe what fills the restaurant's seats is the fact that one can order breakfast, lunch,... More »

  • 1999 | Best Late-Night Dining

    There are plenty of good reasons to head to the Floridian in the wee hours of the morning, not the least of which is that it's the best time to actually get in the door. Lunchtime and weekend mornings find the eclectically decorated eatery with a line out the door and onto the sidewalk. This is a good sign that the food is, if not gourmet, at least well thought of by legions of locals. So when those postparty hunger pangs hit, grab a table in the dining room decorated with plenty of Marilyn... More »

    Order a Fat Breakfast Any Time of Day

    By Melissa McCart | Tue, February 14, 2012

    I thought bacon was among the fattiest savory breakfast items aside from Hollandaise until I moved south, where dishes-to-clog-an-artery- in-one-sitting is a running competition. I was reminded of thi... More »

    Better Watch Out! Santacon Is Coming to Town

    By Rebecca Dittmar | Thu, December 15, 2011

    Santa Claus and Elvis have a lot in common. They’re both larger-than-life figures with jolly round bellies and deep baritone voices; every once in a while, someone claims to have spotted one of them under suspect circumstances; and people of all a... More »
