LIL REDS COOKIN – American
On State Road 84 in Fort Lauderdale, Li'l Red's Cookin' pairs a breakfast counter with in-house barbecue smoked over wood. Morning options include omelettes, country steak with gravy, and fluffy pancakes, while the smoker turns out barbecue chicken served with corn and coleslaw alongside burgers, sandwiches, salads, and rotating daily specials. It's a straightforward all-day spot that doesn't pick a lane between diner and barbecue joint, and instead does both under one roof. The wood-smoked meats set it apart from a standard breakfast counter.
