Restaurants come and go in South Florida. But not these. They have been around for what seems like forever.
Here is a look through the Miami Herald archives at some of the restaurants that have put down deep roots in the Miami and Fort Lauderdale area:
JAXSON’S ICE CREAM
Opened 1956: Jaxson’s Ice Cream Parlour, 128 S. Federal Hwy. in Dania Beach, is a restaurant and country store featuring ice cream made on the premises using recipes developed by founder Monroe Udell. It also offers homemade corned beef and pastrami sandwiches, salads, burgers, hot dogs, steaks, chicken and wraps. Jaxson’s has a whimsical carnival atmosphere: The store’s interior sports hundreds of old license plates dating back to 1912, for instance, as well as photos and antiques.
