Takeout treats: This unique twist on a classic diner is offering curbside pickup and delivery from 7:15 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Sunday. The Java & Jam menu features a healthy mix of classic, hearty breakfast foods—try the corned beef Benedict with gruyere, sauerkraut, English muffin and hollandaise ($15)—and lighter options like the power egg white bowl with spinach, roasted peppers, tofu and mushrooms ($12). The lunch menu, served from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. offers a similar menu with classics like the BLTE with two fried eggs, bacon, Monterey jack, tomato and mayo on multigrain bread ($12) and specialties like meatloaf made with a blend of short rib and brisket, bacon, mushroom, gravy and Yukon gold mash ($15).
Don’t miss: You can’t beat a classic. Try the avocado toast with sunny side up eggs, feta, radish, sweet pepper marmalade and olive oil on a toasted multigrain bread ($13).

I highly recommend The Grill at Calvary Chapel Church in Ft. Lauderdale on Cypress Creek Road. Their take out is excellent and their family meal deals are a steal. The food is absolutely delicious prepared by the best chefs in South Florida and the customer service is fantastic (second to none). Definitely check it out – you will be so happy and you will love not only the AWESOME food but the experience. This is how you order:
