What is one to do when its 4am and you just can't stand the idea of having to go to another Denny's. Yuck. No, you want something fresh, something different or maybe just a lot of different.
Possibly having the extensive and most varied menu many have ever seen, Jerry’s is a local favorite hotspot for all socialites and nightlife lovers. There is possibly nothing that isn’t on Jerry’s menu. You can eat pizza, burgers, pasta, sandwiches, desserts, pancakes, and milkshakes, all in one place. Its look is reminiscent of the 1950s era, where rollerblading women would come grab your order as you waited in the car. Although not so convenient, Jerry’s is literally just steps or a cab ride away from satisfying various cravings for all your friends. Its in-store dining 24 – hours a day, takeout, and rapidly growing delivery and catering services, Jerry’s Famous Deli is maintaining a high profile.
But be warned-- Jerry's is most definitely not cheap. It can be quite ridiculous if you ask me. A $17 dollar pastrami sandwich... I don't think so. But if you stick to breakfast, the prices are cheap and the food is fabulous. Try the cream cheese, chive and spinach scramble-- yum-yum!
The next time you think you have no choice but IHOP or Dennys, don't despair, treat yourself... take out a few bucks and splurge on deliciousness.

Oh my God. What can I say about this delicious greasy-spoon other than thank you Emil, good friend and colleague, for introducing me to this great breakfast spot almost a year ago. Since then I have come almost every weekend and can not recommend it more.
Jammed packed with regulars and Coconut Grove's police officers and staff, Coral Bagels is not your typical breakfast spot. It's for those who want a big and scrumptious meal for a small price--about $6.In fact, I've dined here with the most hearty of eaters and the bill has benn under $15!
Don't let the unflattering aesthetics of the place fool you... The coffee may be served in different mugs from many of the local businesses in the area and the place could use a bit more light but, for those of us who wake up on Sundays in the mood for bacon, eggs, sausage and of course, a strong cup of coffee, this is the place to go.
Bring a friend before work, after church or just whenever. Have some eggs, home potatoes and a bagel with some chive cream cheese..mmmm... They also have some mean sandwiches for lunch, but trust me on the breakfast.
Parking is a breeze, the staff is friendly and most important, the greasy goodness will start your day off right-- it definitely did it for me today. Thanks again Emil!

This place was quite the experience. Surrounded by the lights and posh buildings around Sunset Place, you wouldn't even notice this little grey building. Its no wonder the locals come here to relax and chug a cold one back without the fru-fru nonsense that goes on around the other places. I was surprised at how dark it was when you get in. In fact, you can barely see in there! But that doesn't stop the regulars from taking a seat at the bar. Who can blame them? This is just the place to get away from the hustle and bustle.
Once you get past the dark bar, there's a fabulous little sun room in the back. It is almost as if the place converts into a charming french cafe at the end of the hall. Yellow paint, floral wallpaper and wooden chairs make for a cozy dining space.
The waitresses try their best to juggle all the orders from the locals. Its actually amazing. You would never think this inconspicuous place was so packed. Sitting next to a table of Jewish grandpa's all eating Ruben sandwiches and French Dips, I knew they couldn't all be wrong. So, I ordered the French Dip and my friend ordered the Ruben.
The sandwiches weren't to die for, but they were good. Especially the Ruben. Just the right touch of greasiness and goodness. Golden crispy fries and delightful laughs from the gramps's table were enough to make Fox's a nice little lunch retreat.
I can't wait to try the bar. Next week maybe. I've heard their martini's are to die for.
Fox's has been around since 1946 and I can definitely see why. Good eats, a laid Back dwelling and fabulous locals make this a great local spot.
