11. Concerts, Cheesesteaks and the Best Restaurants on Dixie Highway
A three-egg cheesesteak omelet from Keke’s Breakfast Cafe, packed with savory cheesesteak filling. Julie had it over lettuce and tomato instead of bread and called it “delicious.”
A standout starter at The Bōl that got a lot of praise—Jamie called it “so good” and easily one of the highlights of the meal.
A charming luncheonette-style café in Parkland that's perfect for breakfast or lunch before it closes in the early afternoon. Jamie highly recommends the cheesesteak omelet, calling it delicious, and says the coffee is just as memorable.
Jamie’s #5 pick in West Palm Beach is a Japanese/Vietnamese Asian fusion spot that’s a favorite for its fresh, flavorful dishes. Julie always goes for the rice noodles with shrimp and beef, plus the killer vegetable rolls, and it’s run by an owner who also has a Fort Lauderdale location.
An American diner-style restaurant inside the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Hollywood. Jamie remembers the nachos and burgers being amazing 10–15 years ago, though he feels the food quality has declined noticeably over the years.
A farm-to-table gem in West Palm Beach’s Art District, located at 501 Fern St and known for its wood-fired oven and sustainably sourced ingredients. It’s high on Jamie and Julie’s must-visit list, especially with its spot near the Nora district.
A go-to spot inside the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Hollywood serving Vietnamese and Chinese favorites. Visited twice in two weeks, with the orange chicken, egg rolls, and especially the duck sauce standing out enough to keep bringing us back.
Located inside the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Hollywood, this 7,000-seat indoor concert venue is Jamie’s go-to spot for live music in South Florida. The intimate layout means there really aren’t any bad seats in the house, making every show feel like a great experience.
Jamie’s top restaurant pick in both West Palm Beach and Broward County, led by James Beard-nominated chef Clay Conley. Known for its Italian-inspired menu, it’s the kind of place where every meal feels special—Julie’s shrimp with gluten-free pasta was a standout, and the memorable dinners shared with friends keep them coming back.
Jamie’s #2 restaurant in West Palm Beach is a coastal Mediterranean bistro that feels like an al fresco oasis. His favorite dish is the butter chicken (a baked chicken dish), which keeps it high on his list. The home of juicy steaks, spirited drinks and Aussie hospitality. Enjoy steak, chicken, ribs, fresh seafood & their famous Bloomin' Onion. Visited during family trip week, with the grilled and barbecue chicken praised, the ribs described as hit or miss, and the bread and butter highlighted as a standout.
The Blue Door, top pick for Valentine's Day dinner, is a coastal bistro inspired by the sun-kissed beach towns of Southern Europe. As you step through our inviting blue door, you'll discover a tranquil al fresco oasis where coastal Mediterranean inspired food, handcrafted drinks, and a sense of community come together seamlessly.
Hive Bakery & Café offers breakfast, lunch, pastries, and dinners based on seasonal selections and the highest quality ingredients. Enjoy a delightful dining experience with a focus on fresh, locally sourced produce and artisanal baked goods. Jamie's pick for best burger in Palm Beach
Dixie Highway hidden gem that came up in our Palm Beach food conversation on the show. Cafe Med brings Mediterranean flavors to West Palm Beach without the price tag or attitude that some Palm Beach restaurants think they need. It's a neighborhood spot that rewards regulars and surprises first-timers exactly the kind of restaurant Julie and Jamie love to put people onto. If we're calling it out on a podcast about Florida food, it's because it genuinely earned its spot.
Jamie’s go-to order at The Bol, which he’s ordered on both visits, and consistently calls it “amazing.”
Discover the Beef Chow Fun at The Bōl in Fort Lauderdale. Enjoy amazing recommendations and drinks while savoring one of the best Beef Chow Fun dishes around.

An emerging restaurant district in West Palm Beach near Fern Street that Jamie and Julie are planning to explore soon.
Jamie strongly recommends Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Hollywood’s Hard Rock Live as a top South Florida concert venue. He praises the acoustics and says there really isn’t a bad seat in the house, adding that even though it’s a bit of a drive, it’s absolutely worth it.
