Been wanting to try Runyon's for a while, and after a nearby doctor's appointment, the timing finally lined up. I arrived early... around 4:30-ish... and the bar was already almost full. I was lucky to grab a seat. From the moment I sat down, it was obvious this place has a loyal following... and I mean loyal. The cross-the-bar banter, the familiarity, the way everyone knew each other... this is a real community spot.
In some places you might feel like the outsider thinking, "How'd this guy get in here?" Not here. Everyone was welcoming, friendly, and genuinely warm. A great group of people to talk with. Add in the atmosphere of this iconic Coral Springs steakhouse... family owned since 1984... and I immediately knew I was in a special place.
Kiana, the fantastic bartender, let me know it was happy hour, so my drinks... ulitmately a well-made Margarita and Sonoma-Cutrer Chardonnay... would be half off... a nice surprise. For food, I went with the Onion Soup and their Prime Burger from the regular menu. The onion soup is a good one... rich broth, excellent cheese. The burger was prime beef and excellent... fries were basic, but very good.
Then a piano player started playing and singing, which completely elevated the vibe. The main dining area is connected to the bar where I was sitting, and there's also a quieter dining room for those who prefer a more traditional setting without the music.
Loved it here. Can't wait to come back and try their famous Prime Rib.
You can't just open a restaurant like this... places like this develop over time.
VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
