  1. Rustic Inn

    Don’t wear your Sunday best here – or bring a date you want to whisper sweet nothings to. Hungry locals at this messy, noisy crabhouse use wooden mallets at long, newspaper-covered tables to get at the good stuff served here. The house specialty is crabs – choose from Dungeness, blue or golden – drenched in garlic and a secret family recipe (think: butter). Not in a crabby mood? This hearty, happy family-style restaurant has schools of seafood and pasta options.

    Primanti Brothers

    Don’t come here if you’re (a) a prissy eater or (b) only sorta hungry. Primanti serves traditional Italian dishes, but what really makes famished diners salivate is the sandwiches. Served on Italian bread piled high with slaw, cheese, your choice of meat and a mountain of steaming fries, the whole thing’s smashed flat and wrapped in butcher paper. This greasy double-fister is the perfect antidote to the hangover you’re about to start nursing.

    Seasons 52

    This sophisticated grill prepares market-fresh, seasonal meals – like sea scallops with roasted asparagus or grilled boneless trout with new potatoes – using natural cooking techniques to provide the best taste and the least guilt. In fact, every nutritionally balanced menu item has no more than 475 calories – including dessert. Plus, they have 140 kinds of wine. Wow.

  4. Shula’s

    Owned by former Miami Dolphins coach Don Shula, this elegant (if slightly stuffy) steakhouse is a must-visit if you’re a fan of either the Dolphins or steak. Their thing is certified Angus beef, cut thick and seared fast – and they do it impeccably. They also serve seafood, but vegetarians may be wild-eyed at the shortage of options.

  5. Timpano’s

    Be sure to bring your tommy gun when you come to this Italian-flavored martini bar and chophouse. With its heavy velvet draperies, starched white tablecloths, oversized chandeliers and swooping, question-mark-shaped bar, you’ll feel like you’re in the mafia when you cut into your dry-aged hand-cut filet or bass aqua pazza.

  6. Aruba Beach Cafe

    The food isn’t the only reason people flock here (though the conch fritters are divine). There’s also live music nightly, daily drink specials served from three separate bars and only a bank of sliding glass doors separating you and the beach.

  7. Stork’s Bakery

    Fresh breads, rich cheeses and crispy veggies load the sandwiches in this tastefully appointed, canal-fronting bakery-café, which also serves intriguing salads (like roasted sweet potato), exceptional soups, coffees and more sweets than you can handle.

  8. Rattlesnake Jake’s

    More Tex than Mex, this laid-back taqueria has a prime view of Deerfield’s main drag and a bar that demands to be sidled up to. The salsa’s a tad bland, but bring your own fresh-caught fish and they’ll spice it up for you.

  9. Country Ham & Eggs

    Since 1968, this sociable place has been firing up the griddle to cook various Benedicts, ‘rolled omelettes’ and French wheels (thick French toast topped with eggs and sausage). Breakfast is served all day; lunch is stellar, too.

  10. Sublime Restaurant & Bar

    Shrugging off the alfalfa-sprout image, this chic restaurant serves such inventive and delicious dishes that even carnivores won't miss the meat.

  13. Ciao Cafe

    You gotta pay for the fresh gelatos, salads and sandwiches here but the wi-fi’s free.
