8: Fast Food Florida! Big Arch, Five Guys, Five Pizza and Everything in Between
This iconic West Palm Beach restaurant, open since 1975, earned high praise with Jamie rating the burger an 8.9—one of the best he’s had since moving to Florida—while also offering a solid happy hour and an early bird special (around $25–$29 for salad, entrée, and dessert from 4–6 PM).
Located on 441 in Boca Raton, this spot is Jamie’s current #1 Detroit-style pizza in South Florida as of 2026, with both Detroit-style pies compared favorably to Jet’s.
Jamie gave it an 8.4–8.5 out of 10 across 116 reviews. He rated it the best fast food pizza, ahead of Domino’s, Papa John’s, and Little Caesars. Julie wanted the round cauliflower crust but was served Detroit style instead and found it too doughy. Jamie, on the other hand, prefers the Detroit style for its crunchy cheese edges.
This upscale chain steakhouse in The Boca Raton featured Jamie having the burger (shared with Rosie) and Julie ordering the chicken sandwich, which she rated amazing, with both praising the stellar waitstaff and great atmosphere.
New McDonald’s menu item just made its live debut. Praised for its juicy meat and crispy fried onions—Jamie gives it a thumbs up 👍 while Julie says it’s almost perfect… just add Mac sauce! 😉
Jamie had the bacon cheeseburger while Julie had a lettuce wrap. This was noted as allergy-friendly for gluten and dairy-free diners including their child.
Jamie's current top recommendation; praised for consistency & value. 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.
This bacon cheeseburger is rated highly by Jamie!
This Boynton Beach deli was a return visit with Julie’s mother, featuring standouts like the open turkey with cranberry and mashed potatoes (Julie’s new go-to), chicken salad, a raspberry linzer tart cookie declared the best in Florida, and small sprinkle shortbread cookies, with Julie leaving with five sprinkle cookies.
Located right across the street from the couple’s home, with Jamie highlighting the mozzarella sticks and chicken cordon bleu sandwich as standouts, while the burgers aren’t recommended and Julie isn’t a fan.
Stretchy, cheesy, melty mozzarella that's battered and fried. Served with a marinara sauce for dipping. Jamie's top pick at Arby's.
Enjoy the delicious Chicken Cordon Bleu Meal featuring a breaded chicken breast topped with thinly sliced smoked ham, natural Swiss cheese, and mayonnaise, all served on a soft brioche bun. Perfect for a satisfying meal on the go.
Swap out a bun for crisp lettuce. Enjoy all your favorite toppings and hand-formed patties—bun-free, guilt-free, and still packed with flavor. Julie's bread-free diet-friendly order that she found satisfying.
