3. First Watch

First Watch is another breakfast, brunch, and lunch option. With a focus on fresh ingredients and a “You First” service philosophy, it’s easy to see how First Watch has blossomed to around 100 locations and earned several notable awards. You’ll find no shortage of unique menu options, including the Asian pork belly breakfast bowl, the “Chickichanga,” and lemon ricotta pancakes. You’ll also find more traditional fare, such as Belgian waffles, Cobb salad, and a Monterey club sandwich. The juice bar is a fantastic and exceedingly healthy option. With flavors such as morning meditation and kale tonic, you’ll start your day off on a healthy path.

4. Jack’s Hollywood Diner

Jack’s Hollywood Diner, located just outside of Pembroke Pines in Hollywood, provides a trip back in time. The restaurant features an old diner car that was expanded upon to allow for the growth but still harkens back to the 1950s when Jack’s was established. A local icon, Jack’s has been featured in several movies, commercials, and magazines.

On to the food. In keeping with its founding traditions, all the soups and specials are made fresh daily, and the diner is open 24 hours a day to serve you. The menu is extensive, so you could easily start your day with the country fried steak and eggs or chocolate chip pancakes and later move on to something like the Reuben sandwich, barbecued beef ribs, or New York strip steak. It would take you quite some time to work through the entire menu.

It will be a tough decision, but kind of a fun one to make. Better yet, pace yourself and try them all. Bon appetit!
