Guide to Palm Beach (Island)
Jamie thought the dumplings were good, but not exactly something to rave about—very much a classic "they're alright" Jamie review. Julie described it as a solid neighborhood sushi spot that's popular with locals and worth checking out if you're in the area.
One of MOOYAH's newer West Palm Beach locations when this episode was filmed. Jamie's recommendation? Skip the single and go straight for the double—it’s the way to order.
Henry Flagler's stunning Gilded Age mansion is packed with fascinating details. Julie came prepared, pointing out highlights like the elegant drawing room, the courtyard fountain inspired by Florence's Boboli Gardens, and the interconnected upstairs bedrooms. Jamie happily admitted Julie was paying way more attention than he was and joked that she should've been leading the tour herself.
Jamie's hoping to catch a show here—as long as the Florida heat isn't pushing 95 degrees. Julie has a personal connection to the venue too, having interviewed Styx frontman Lawrence Gowan a couple of years earlier, making this stop a fun one to revisit.
Julie's excited for this festive summer tradition, where holiday shopping meets Christmas cheer in the middle of July. Expect handcrafted gifts, local vendors, and even indoor artificial snow flurries to bring a little winter magic to South Florida.
Jamie was already on his fourth visit, so clearly something keeps bringing him back—even if he still has some mixed feelings about the food. With dishes like the grilled shrimp and vegetable salad, charcuterie board, and ribeye sandwich in the mix, Julie focused more on the experience, describing it as Palm Beach at its best.
Grilled fresh to order inside the Mall at Wellington Green, the chicken cheesesteak here is the go-to that earns a fiercely loyal fan base -- try it over lettuce and tomato if you want to keep it light.
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.
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.
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.
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
Julie called it beautiful the moment she walked in, loving how it sits right on Atlantic Avenue where everything's happening. She told Pablo flat out she's coming back many, many times.
Jamie describes it as his long-time favorite steakhouse, placing it in a close tie with Outback for best in class. It remains one of his top choices among casual steakhouse chains.
At the time of recording, it was Jamie's first visit in months. While comparing it to Texas Roadhouse, Outback, and LongHorn, Jamie ranked LongHorn and Outback ahead of Texas Roadhouse but still gave Texas Roadhouse credit as a solid option.
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.
Look, Bern's isn't a hidden gem everybody in Florida knows the name. But it's on this list because it genuinely lives up to every single bit of its reputation, and that's rare. The dry-aged steaks are cut to YOUR specification, the wine cellar holds close to half a million bottles, and then they take you upstairs to the dessert room which is an experience that doesn't exist anywhere else in this state. Jamie's face the first time he walked into that dessert room was worth the entire dinner. You pick your steak by thickness, you choose the exact temperature, and they nail it every time. Julie says Bern's is old-school fine dining that actually earned the right to call itself that no shortcuts, no trends, just decades of doing it better than almost anyone. It's a splurge, we're not gonna lie, but it's the kind of splurge where you walk out saying "okay that was worth every penny."
Best Pizza in Palm Beach
Nobody plans a trip to Loxahatchee, but a lost wallet changed everything. Julie and Jami stumbled into Jabrewski's, ended up staying for happy hour, and left raving about egg rolls they never saw coming.
NJ pizza spot from the early days! Authentic Italian food in Morristown, NJ. Freshly made pizza, calzones, pasta & more. Generous portions, 4.6★ rated.
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.
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.
