Primanti Bros. - Ft. Lauderdale Beach

Well, this is just one happening little restaurant! It's located right on the beach, by Sunrise Boulevard. Cap and Guida had irresponsibly snuck off to investigate the place on their own, leaving poor Mex and I to starve alone. I won't mention how they also unthinkingly forgot to bring any cash or debit cards with them, feeling secure in the fact that they had their huge store of credit cards fitting snuggly in their wallets and it wasn't until AFTER they had ordered that they noticed a CASH ONLY sign by the register. Hee, hee, hee....that's restaurant karma right there, people!
Anywhoooo, they took care of that issue easily enough and a couple of weeks later invited Mex and I to join them for sandwiches and pizza there. The line was pretty steady, but the staff is remarkably efficient at getting people in and out in a timely, but unrushed manner. We sat down and pondered the menu to decide how we could get a sample of their offerings without going overboard. We ultimately decided to order to sandwiches to split and a large pizza.
Let me explain the sandwiches. First off, they're served on grilled bread with loads of meat. Cap and I split a roast beef and Mex and Guida got a pastrami. The powers that be also decided that it would be a good idea to offer a choice of fried egg and french fries to go in the sandwich as well. Not WITH the sandwich. ON the sandwich. You don't have to get them, but for the full affect, we ordered the whole shebang and didn't regret a bite! I especially liked the fried egg on top. I understand (from watching waaaay too much of the Food Network) that adding fried eggs on top of sandwiches and hamburgers is quite de rigueur these days. Mind you, the french fries, eggs, meat and bread do make a pretty big mouthful, but I would definitely recommend it.
The pizza too was enjoyable. Cap, Guida and Mex really loved it. I'm from New York myself, so it wasn't quite the taste I absolutely love, but I certainly wasn't going to spit it out! I ate every bit of my two slices with gusto!
So, to recap, all four of us would definitely recommend Primanti Bros. on the beach. There's another location just a couple miles inland, but we haven't tried that one yet. There's just something special about being able to walk on the beach after dinner....so we're sticking to the original location!
Hope you go! Hope you enjoy!!!
