Russo’s Coal Fired Italian Kitchen - Pembroke Pines, FL (Other Locations)

Russo's Coal Fired Italian Kitchen is a chain from New York and although New York is known for their pizza, I was still a little bit iffy but willing to check it out.

Service was adequate; nothing to complain about but nothing to rave about either. That is all I need anyways, just bring me my food and I am good. The bread was different than the normal and we happened to get a fresh batch so it was quite good.

All Russo’s pastas are made fresh in their kitchen so I was excited to try one of the dishes out. I had a penne pasta that was perfectly al dente (although someone else may feel it is slightly undercooked). It was so delicious and so amazingly good. I wasn't expecting it and so it really knocked my socks off.

Pizza cannot be passed up at a place that serves coal fire pizza, so we ordered the New York Village. It was hot out of the oven, made with a nice thinner and crispier crust, fresh ingredients and a nice homemade sauce. It was quite good.

Burger & Beer Joint - Pembroke Pines, FL (Other Locations)

Burger & Beer Joint is a cool spot, nice place to hang in the neighborhood and has nice, friendly staff (at least in my experience).

All of that aside, what really defines this restaurant should the burgers. My friend decided to build his own burger, a pretty typical burger of cheese, lettuce, tomato and bacon. He was into it and said he would come back.

I decided to go a little exotic and had the Sympathy for the Devil. With a name like that, I was expecting something that would be scorching to my taste buds, but it was extremely mild with a pretty decent hot sauce on the side. The chili could have had more flavor in itself so it was a bit of a disappointment. The skinny fries were sort of unique with a crispy quality and a bit of seasoning so they were pretty good.

Although I was not in love with my burger choice (it should have been hot), it wasn't due to lack of quality which was there. Their burgers do taste good and are a really good size (if the prices concern you), it was worth checking out.
