How can anyone not be a fan of this place? It's just a diner one might think, but it's more than that. It's a place where friendly locals make friends, meet each others and engage in conversation over a simple breakfast or lunch, nicely prepared on a six foot hot grill right in front of you while you wait. It doesn't take long before you get to know the names of others and others get to know your name too. Easy Over, to me, exemplifies the American Diner tradition of enjoying fairly simple food at a budget price while catching up on the local gossip and indulging in the American bottomless cup of coffee.
Yes, you're probably going to hear about someones husbands recent heart attack, the death of an uncle, the story of a small time lottery winner, some Guy's bad rap for drunken driving, and that so and so's wife was caught cheating, but that's all part of the diner experience and part of what they are about.
The service is super friendly and as far as food goes, of much better proportion and quality than are most diners. This isn't the typical greasy spoon and they have a number of specials such as the Cuban Omelet, thin grilled hash browns and other such items rarely seen in other Lauderdale diners.
I stopped in for Sunday breakfast and went with my old standby - blueberry pancakes. Â The service is wonderful, and the cafe is clearly adored by the locals. Â The pancakes were good, well prepared, Â appropriately portioned, and very inexpensive. Â
