When it comes to enjoying brunch in southern Florida, there are plenty of options for traditional breakfast and lunch favorites. However, for a distinctive experience, South Bar & Kitchen in the heart of Pompano Beach is a hidden treasure.
This “modern southern American concept” offers a menu with a Louisiana-inspired touch. Anticipate a blend of Cajun and Creole tastes in dishes like crunchy fried green tomatoes coated in cornmeal, waffles infused with sweet potato and pecans, and delicious warm sticky buns.
You can choose to dine indoors in the main dining area or opt for a table on the outdoor patio shaded by a grand tree.
The outdoor dining experience is enhanced when accompanied by a pitcher of mimosas. Other brunch cocktails worth trying include Bloody Marys, a South Spritz, an Old-Fashioned Breakfast, and a 95 South Espresso.
The menu, offering comforting choices, is easy to navigate and grouped in a playful manner with categories like Desires, Sweet & Savory, and Dual Pleasures.
Embark on your culinary adventure with a unique variation of deviled eggs, featuring delightful Cajun-spiced whipped yolks topped with smoked trout roe, chicken cracklin’, and green onions – an appetizer almost too aesthetically pleasing to consume.
If you desire an extra nibble before delving into your main dish, relish a delightful Chicken Little, a slider consisting of succulent fried chicken on a warm buttermilk biscuit drizzled with honey butter.
This well-known restaurant in Old Town sets itself apart with dishes prepared from scratch with robust flavors, spices, and marinades. Exceptional brunch choices include poached eggs atop cheesy middlin grits, steak and eggs served with crispy Cajun hash browns, and hoe cakes – a pile of corn pancakes topped with warm macerated blueberries.
Their rendition of the classic chicken and waffles features smoked and sliced spicy chicken sausage links paired with a light buttermilk Belgian waffle accompanied by hot honey.
For main courses, do not overlook their signature Cajun jumbo lump blue crabcake Benedict topped with poached eggs and Hollandaise sauce on a toasted English muffin. The fried half chicken offers a delightful balance of crispy and tender, served with a buttermilk biscuit.
To enhance your dining experience, pair your meal with accompaniments like smoked gouda, cheddar, and bacon-infused cheesy grits; thick-cut smoked bacon glazed with maple; or a simple yet charming toasted pullman brioche served with seasonal jam and creamy butter. You will not be disappointed.
