It had
been awhile since we visited the Tampa/St. Petersburg Metropolitan area… There
was one dining establishment in particular that we wanted to make sure that we
revisited during our trip this past September!
This is
the Lucky Dill Deli and the Brooklyn Bakery in Palm Harbor Florida. We had dined here with friends back in 2012
and it had been a very memorable ‘deli’ experience! This was the best deli I’d eaten in outside
of New York or Chicago…
To view
my earlier blog posting and to view photos of what the four of us had ordered
and greatly enjoyed, you can go to http://bigdaddydavesbitsandpieces.blogspot.com/2012/06/just-dill-of-deli.html.
It was
great to be back! The only problem was
that because of our schedule we were there for breakfast…no hot pastrami or other
deli sandwiches on this occasion. Sad…
We had
to wait a bit before we could get a table.
The problem with waiting is that the bakery and deli cases are right
there in plain view! Such sweet torture! What a huge selection of goodies… (Click to enlarge!)
Our
waitress started us out with a complementary basket containing a selection of
baked goods…and we ate about half of them before remembering to take a
picture! Now for breakfast…
I
ordered the Smoked Salmon Eggs Benedict with a side of home fried potatoes.
($11.99) This offering is layered with wilted spinach and red onion and topped
with capers. (I left off the onions) While it wasn’t a Lucky Dill Deli hot
pastrami, it was a great Eggs Benedict variation! Very satisfying indeed…
Dawn
Marie ordered the Cinnamon Bun French Toast served with citrus butter and maple
syrup. ($8.99) She also ordered a side of Bacon. ($1.99) She thought that her
breakfast was pretty good but she was hoping for more of a cinnamon bun impact. This cinnamon bread version was a bit tame
for her sweet tooth.
Laurie
ordered the standard Eggs Benedict version. ($8.99) The Hollandaise Sauce was
just right and she really enjoyed her breakfast… As you can see, her side of
home fried potatoes included a couple pieces of grilled asparagus, which was a
nice touch.
Well…to
summarize…we had very nice breakfast at the Lucky Dill Deli. Prices are reasonable considering what we
ordered although coffee at $2.75 per person seemed a little high. We still wish that it had been lunch time
when we passed by on our way north!
The
Lucky Dill Deli is located at 33180 US Hwy. 19 North in Palm Harbor
Florida. Phone: 727-789-5574. Website: http://luckydilldeli.com/.

Thanks
for stopping by for breakfast!
Take
Care, Big Daddy Dave
I know I would have enjoyed breakfast there.
ReplyDeleteI have been away from reading blogs for a while but am trying to catch up. I went through all your past posts – I am pleased that I ate a large plate of Thanksgiving leftovers or I would be starved by now looking at all the good dishes you have shown in your posts. We also spent about a week in North Carolina during the fall colors. I was going to have a post on it then the tragic events in Paris happened.
ReplyDeleteAbout 8 ½ years ago (because my eldest grandson was a baby then and yesterday we celebrated his 9th birthday) we spent a week near Tampa and went to the Big Cat Rescue – I don’t’ remember it being that expensive to tour. We are still on their mail list and get their newspaper – it’s a great non-profit organization.
We are not traveling as much this year – as my husband’s Alzheimer is not getting any better, and it takes a lot of my time and energy. I enjoyed looking at all the historic buildings you showed. Thanks for coming to my blog.
