My wife and I have been coming to Hollywood Beach for years, to walk, enjoy the beach and of course people watch. We come early and know exactly where we are going to have breakfast every time: Broadwalk Restaurant & Grill.
Right on the Broadwalk overlooking the beach, they have a large indoor dining room with a large full bar, and plenty of outdoor seating right on the beach, which of course, we usually choose because that is why we are there.
Well,,, not really, the other reason is because we love their simple, traditional breakfast menu. Nothing fancy; Egg, Eggs Benedict, Omelets, Pancakes, French Toast, Egg Sandwiches, and Lox and Bagel Sandwiches, Grits and Oatmeal.
They have Bacon, ham and Sausage patties, but when you ask for Chicken Sausage, or Avocado Toast, the answer is always the same: the owner never wants to add anything new that is not a traditional breakfast. EVEN IF IT IS HEALTHY. Kind of a drawback, but Broadwalk is derived from an Italian family who perfected their menu and recipes years ago. I am just talking about breakfast here, but there is the traditional Italian Lunch and Dinner side to Broadwalk.
Today I ordered the Greek Omelet and it was "serious". Served with Feta Cheese, Spinach, black olives and tomatoes, it was fluffy and topped with a generous portion of the Feta Cheese. They know what they are doing because the was the best Greek Omelet I've ever had. I had a side of rye toast and a very creamy order of their grits. The grits were pretty serious on its own. My wife had he same for breakfast but with a huge bowl of oatmeal which she loved.
I really wanted Sausage, and healthier chicken sausage, but, "nope", had to have their traditional meat sausage. Ok, I give up, bring it.
Broadwalk is always consistent, reliable and top notch service where everyone is quite friendly.
What can be better than that? Eating right on the beach, outside, watching people walk, bike and roller blade right on Hollywood Beach. There are many choices for breakfast, and we have seriously tried a few others, but never is it as good as this.
Until it is, we come to Broadwalk Restaurant and Grill. Have to check out their traditional Pasta recipes for lunch at some point.
Thanks Broadwalk for staying the course.
