We like our breakfast, (or more usually, 'Brunch'), after church or just... anytime! We've been to all the others along the 595 corridor, south to Pembroke Pines and Miramar; back east into Hollywood... trust me, ALL OVER! Then, finally, practically out our back door, we end up at the 'Taste of the City' restaurant. VERY FRIENDLY staff greeted and seated us and menus, water, and coffee, (really GOOD coffee!), practically pushed through the bottom of the table, they came so fast! The establishment was about half full on a Tuesday at about 11:30 in the morning. We ordered some eggs, meats, waffles, and French Toast... the usual breakfast selections from the griddle and after a coffee warmup, they were delivered along with extra napkins and a smile... My wife had a 'special order' at which the server consulted the manager.... the result was that she found a better menu item; cheaper, and with more food... she saved us some money! Waffles were crisp and DONE, and the eggs were perfectly prepared to order. The bacon was lean and CRISP... PERFECT!! The flavors brought me back to a farm/ranch that I used to visit in Ojus, FL, (around I-95 and county-line), (circa 1960's), where I would have breakfast that came mostly from that farm! Taste of the City served a truly country-flavored breakfast to a 'country gentleman' that knows the difference! 'Farm Fresh' was all over this meal... DELICIOUS!! These people have the right cooking skills, the perfect staff, the perfect attitudes, and of course, the perfect results! This, 'Taste of the City' is our new breakfast, (and lunch), 'home-way-from-home' establishment! I predict that this restaurant will last well into this century and will become a growing legacy for the 'best breakfast/lunch place' in the Cooper...
Read moreI am a big time brunch person and, unfortunately, not so easy to please when it comes to brunch food because I make many brunch meals at home and have gotten fairly spoiled. That being said, this place is a definite revisit for me. Our server, Debra, was extrememly accomodating. She allowed me to add ingredients to and "revamp" my meal. Normally I feel guilty doing that at a restaurant, but she made me feel perfectly ok about it 😁. Her response... "whatever makes you happy, hun". I mean, who doesnt like hearing that!? They have a chicken salad melt that is to die for. (Being from alabama I cant find good old fashioned chicken salad here, without all the nuts and fruit in it 🤢) I simply added some tomato slices and poached eggs and it hit every hunger urge I had 👍 Afterall, it just isnt brunch without eggs 😉. We will be going back and trying different menu items. Great mimosas as well. The only reason I didnt give 5 stars was strictly because the place is so tiny amd that made it fairly loud. Other than that it was an excellent experience. I...
Read moreIt's was just one of those Saturday mornings where not a pancake or egg was being turned over by this momma. Having tried practically every breakfast place within a ten mile radiance of our house except for this one we decided to check it out. Everything was you want when you go to diner. We were greeted by The Don (really nice lady greeting the door, holding down the countertop, and checking everyone out) she makes sure your service is superior. Not that it isn't; at Taste of The City they have team service. We met every server working the floor! The next one just as pleasant as the first! Our server was AMAZING she guided us through the menu and didn't do us wrong. We went with her recommendation of the Country fried steak and an order of onion rings as a side to the Chicago dog we ordered. All of the plates we ordered were solid to their origin! With solid food, great service, and a clean atmosphere; there's no reason why your not heading over to these super good eats!!
