South Florida Restaurants: Which Ones Offer Soulful Spaces?

• Yes to Maguire's! Waxy's, too. 

• If looking for character in a non strip small setting. Try Sundy House in Delray Beach. Also the Falcon House, haven't been there in some time and it is more of a bar with food but they converted an old House. Can't say if it still is good or not. There is also Dada's in Delray Beach.

• Great suggestion on Cap's Place. Lots of fun, just don't miss the last boat back to the mainland. It's a different type of character, but Dada and Falcon House in Delray have nice spaces  (not in strip malls). 11th St. Annex in Fort Laud is a nice little place, as well. Good food.

• Other places with character (and decent food) Cap's Place Lighthouse Point, 15th St Fisheries Ft Lauderdale. Fun and OK food the Chickee Hut at Seminole T Truck Stop, just North of Griffin and US 27 weekends especially but be ready for bikers. The Field is a good suggestion, along the same lines is Rustic Inn and Maguire's. Sea Watch has a great building too. Remember though, this is South Florida our history barely dates back 100 years and most buildings were built within the last 50. So to find any building with character is hard in So Fla.

• Check out The Field in Dania

• I was referring to the commentor. I believe that sea is in a strip mall and laser wolf is a bar that doesnt serve food in a strip mall so your point seems a bit jumbled

• Yes, I noticed they're in strip malls. With Laser Wolf, I just like the building. I'm on a hunt for character, interesting spaces. If you have suggestions, that would be great. Thanks for the Le Tub suggestion. I have been and forgot about that. 

• I'd love to find more places with character. I eat out every night and often at lunch between West Palm and Lauderdale. I'd like to find more places with character; I haven't. I'm asking you if you have any suggestions. Do you?

• I find it ironic that MM is blogging from a journalists convention. I wonder if they make her wear a wristband? Laser wolf and sea are both in strip malls if you didn't notice. and I can't see driving into the woods to get a sandwich.

• I sincerely doubt Melissa is the only person who enjoys taking a meal in someplace other than a miscellaneous strip mall.

• Many people enjoy a quality meal in the grocery store. It's called Whole Foods. Maybe you've heard of it? :)

• You and you alone. Melissa never misses an opportunity to mention riverside market or laser wolf. If you like eating in a grocery store, fine. But don't try to pass it off as something positive

• LeTub in Hollywood is an old gas station. If you look you can see the garage doors, etc.

• You call what a dump in the northeast? Any restaurant that has reclaimed an old house or building? That's just crazy (and also not believable). I can't think of too many places in the FTL like Melissa is describing...can think of a bunch in the Keys. But even though ours is a much newer city than, say, Charleston, SC, I would love to see more places open in some of those northeastern-style dumps.

• We call them dumps in the northeast
