No one has mentioned Scruby's . They have three places in Broward, one in Tamarac on University Dr. at Commercial Blvd, one in Davie at 595 and Pine Island and one in Pembroke Pines not sure of the location. They have excellent Brisket and the baby backs are the best. I also like the smoked chicken. I eat there frequently and the never get a bad meal. It is a family owned joint that is the best I've had in South Florida.

My choice is Johnnies on Brand Blvd. They also have a few Johnnies over in Santa monica and Century City. My favorite is the one in Century City. The one in Glendale on Brand is very good. I'm New Yorker/Eastcoaster living in Studio City.

Mexicali in Studio City on Ventura. Excellent margaritas and there is a cheese app. that I would kill for.

Try Johnnies on Santa Monica across for the Westfield Mall in Century City. By far the best NY style pizza in the city. Small place just like a real pizzeria in NYC. I suggest the Mushroom and onion pizza. My family and I get it every time I visit LA.
