24/7 diner with international meatloaf, massive omelets
"The Floridian is the oldest restaurant on Las Olas and one of the oldest in all of Fort Lauderdale. Another edge it has over the competition: it stays open 24/7. Other than that, what you’ll find here is a standard diner-adjacent menu with food that tastes great at 3am and totally fine any other time. You can get pretty much every form of egg as well as burgers, sandwiches, hot dogs, and more things between bread. The walls are cluttered with news clippings and photos of famous Floridians. And they’ve got a full bar, too. You won't be surprised to learn that the people-watching gets a lot more interesting as the night (or morning) goes on." - ryan pfeffer

"In a town of bougie breakfasts, snobby brunches, and all that pretension, the Floridian remains Fort Lauderdale’s no-frills diner. If its walls of historic photos and celeb headshots don’t do the trick, its absolutely massive “3 egg” omelets will. Bonus: It’s open 24/7."
"Where Fort Lauderdale’s brunch scene grows seemingly bougier by the minute, this Las Olas classic diner remains no-frills. From its wall of Marilyn Monroe photos to owner Butch often cozying up a table for the morning and mingling with regulars to its massive three-egg omelets (probably more like five eggs) — this is charm and sensory overload."
"It’s hard to believe that an old-school diner would be situated among the trendy restaurants on Fort Lauderdale’s Las Olas Boulevard, but this diner has been feeding hungry locals around the clock for more than 70 years. All the favorites one would expect could be found on the extensive menu, but its selection of internationally inspired-meatloaf makes this place particularly unique." - Eater Staff
