"Palm Beach Grill’s open kitchen doesn’t stop clinking and churning out consistently excellent dishes from the second it opens to the second it closes. The restaurant—and its bar—are always completely slammed, so come with a reservation. There’s a reason why it’s so popular. Like a good pair of corduroy pants, Palm Beach Grill is useful for a dizzying amount of occasions: casual dinners, date nights, Happy Hour, and pretty much anything you can think of except peace and quiet. This makes sense, since it’s part of the Hillstone family. The menu over-delivers on seemingly straightforward American dishes. Hot dogs arrive on golden poppyseed buns, kale salads have panache, and oysters st. charles live up to their regal name. The restaurant shares a bathroom with Honor Bar, an excellent plan B if you can’t score a seat here. Food Rundown photo credit: Palm Beach Grill Oysters St. Charles Each shell has a chicken nugget’s worth of crispy oyster meat, a thick layer of creamed spinach, and a teeny dollop of lemon aioli. We’d wait 35 minutes for a bar seat just to have this glorious bite again. photo credit: Palm Beach Grill Silver-Service Kosher Hot Dog Take a moment to appreciate the perfect squiggle of mustard on what could be the best hot dog in South Florida. It’s about the size of your forearm and will take seven minutes to inhale. video credit: Mariana Trabanino USDA Prime French Dip Au Jus This sandwich, and the effect it has on you after dipping it in the rich jus, is like getting first place on Mario Kart right at the last second. Make sure you ask for a side of their creamy horseradish. photo credit: Palm Beach Grill Banana Cream Pie The pleasantly wobbly, appropriately banana-y pie has a thick crust that cuts like kinetic sand. Topped with a lovely drizzle of caramel and crushed chocolate, it’s a classic end to a classic American meal." - Mariana Trabanino
