It's a shame most people haven't a clue about food around here. Seems like they'd rather eat at some snooty place where you have to dress up to eat. Thank goodness there's a place like Ernies. I immediately felt at home. All I can say is that if it ain't for you, don't go there. It's right down my alley - late night food, full menu, good service from real people (if they don't like you, it's not their fault), and mostly safe. One of Lauderdale's oldest restaurants, great sandwiches, awesome burgers and generally good deals. It's hard to get a good late night meal in a dark, friendly place for reasonable bucks, but this (and maybe the Flo) is the place. It's a real man's place, full bar, smoking allowed upstairs outside, cool and dark inside and comfortable in a manly way. I guess i'd tell somebody to try it, and if they don't like it, go to a froo-froo place. Here, you get good food, late at night, not too expensive and quiet, dark privacy with decent background music. Good luck...
