The Absolute 10 Best South Beach Restaurants
"Food can be like a song, and sometimes you get mac and cheese or ribs or latkes stuck in your head too. Blue Collar is where you go to cure yourself when that happens. This little indoor/outdoor spot is located in a MiMo motel and is almost always packed with people who look like they’ve been thinking about this cheeseburger - easily one of Miami’s best - for weeks."
"The term “comfort food” never made more sense than it does right now, when your anxiety can be easily quelled by a big, savory side of beef. Nobody does brisket better than Blue Collar, where you can still enjoy that braised beef with mashed potatoes and jus, with nothing to clean up after your food coma.Cost: $20; Orders by calling the restaurant at 305.756.0366"
"Danny Serfer’s Blue Collar takes its cues from the classic American diner. The tiny restaurant in the MiMo District offers daily specials and elevated comfort foods. Start with a gutsy New Orleans-style dish of shrimp and grits with bacon and Worcestershire-based barbecue sauce, or Chanukah latkes (served year-round)."
"This classic sandwich counter in South Beach is open virtually around the clock and functions both as an unrivalled hangover helper and a quick, filling meal before a day at the beach. It serves made-to-order sandwiches stuffed with lettuce, tomato, green peppers, black olives, onions, cucumbers and cornichons on a baguette or croissant with your choice of protein, as well as salads and smoothies. Portions are large enough to share."

"Restaurants South Beach. Slightly drunk at 2am?. Already starving by noon?"
"To try and categorize this Wynwood staple would be a disservice to its offbeat, campy aesthetic. The interior has a divey feel despite its modern, industrial-style bar top and nostalgic arcade wall. Step outside on the patio to sit at psychedelic tables underneath a canopy of trees that are colorfully lit upon sunset."
"We may not be in Brooklyn, but that doesn’t mean we can’t get quality New York–style pizza. At this pizza kiosk on the patio of Wynwood hangout Gramps, there’s no shortage of cheap and classic thin-crust slices. 176 NW 24th St.; 855-732-8992 orpizzatropical.com"
"Located in the heart of Wynwood in Miami, Gramps is a bar that also features live music, stand-up comedy, DJs, cultural events, and merriment."
"Since it’s a well-known fact that kids of all ages (re: young ones and parents) adore the perennial favorite grilled cheese sandwich, Ms. Cheezious has everyone in the family covered. Adults can opt for one of its more spruced up versions of the dish made with items like goat cheese and prosciutto while the little ones can go the more traditional route. Plus, there is a large backyard patio that is perfect for kids to run around in while not disturbing their neighbors."
"No matter how old we get, there’s nothing like a really, really good grilled cheese. We can’t get enough of the Mackin Melt (with creamy Gouda mac ’n’ cheese and house-cured bacon) or the fried chicken and waffle melt (crispy chicken and cheddar on house-made buttermilk waffles with country gravy and maple syrup). Available for take-out and delivery."
"What started out as a popular food truck, has now evolved into a brick-and-mortar location in MiMo as well as a spot inside Time Out Market (which is temporarily closed). The menu features plenty of grilled cheese options to pick from the classic to the “not-so-classic” menu. View this post on Instagram"
"This fashionable Chinese bistro chain gets high marks with South Dade's trendier diners, who are all about the contemporary interior and eclectic menu. Start off with do-it-yourself lettuce wraps–these babies alone are worth the trip. Afterwards, go any route you like, from Szechwan or Hunan to Cantonese or Shanghai."
"Coconut GroveThere’s nothing quite like delving into a spicy, steaming plate of chicken vindaloo in a mirrored space that could well have been the inspiration for the Babylon Club. But would you expect any less out of Miami’s most vaunted Indian restaurant, who moved into this massive Mayfair space after it outgrew its old digs on Commodore Plaza. Bombay Darbar plays the Indian classics better than anyone in Miami, and though it’s not as cutting edge as some of our more-celebrated Indian eateries it still packs ’em in night after night.How to book: Call 305-444-7272 to reserve."
"What began as a mom-and-pop 30-seater has grown into an Indian-food mainstay with two locations (Coconut Grove and Fort Lauderdale). Diners crunch on crisp papadum wafers while watching Bollywood movies on a large screen and perusing the menu. That list is lengthy, but at its heart are the tikkas, tandooris, and vindaloos that fans of Indian food crave."
"5 out of 5 stars Restaurants American Coral Gables. Arguably some of the best burgers in the land, Danny Meyer’s Shake Shack knows how to deliver a tasty patty. The Coral Gables outpost has foosball, shuffleboard and ping pong—all sure to keep the kids busy while you wait for your frozen custard concrete."
"For die-hard burger fans, Shake Shack on Lincoln Road is a must. This Miami Beach hot spot is known for its gourmet fast food. Splurge on bacon cheese fries or a loaded Shack-cago dog, and don’t miss out on the thick shakes."
"The food and seating options are endless – making it the best spot to work on South Beach. Make sure you visit the one on 7th, since 17th is in the midst of a tourism central. If you’re craving something sweet, try one of their blended coffee shakes!"
"From Business: Fresh and innovative sandwiches, salads, soups, sweets and more. Specialty coffee is ground from the world's finest beans and prepared by expert baristi."
"Bless Palmar for continuing to offer Miami’s best Chinese-Latin cuisine throughout the crisis. Available for pickup via Toast Tab and delivery through Uber Eats, Postmates and GrubHub, indulge in the restaurant’s latest promotion, #PalmarEnCasa, which means you’ll enjoy the same great flavors of the Wynwood restaurant straight from your own home. We’ll take orders of the shiitake edamame dumplings, blue crab fried rice and pork belly bao buns."

And while you're welcome to jump in the comments and tell us which one it is, our pick is this spot wedged onto Washington Ave between Fourth and Fifth Streets.

"Crandon Park Beach boasts some of the clearest waters Miami has to offer, thanks in part to a strict ban on floatation devices and its offshore sandbar — itself an idyllic place to bask like the Floridian lizard you are at heart. Not to worry though, there’s plenty else to keep the whole family entertained, including unique eco-adventure experiences, picnic and cookout areas, and concession stands. If the sun becomes too much, head to the Family Amusement Center open on weekends and holidays only to check out its restored carousel, beachfront playground, and splash fountain."
"Just a short drive to northern Key Biscayne, Crandon Park is an island park equipped with volleyball nets, cabanas for rent and pristine turquoise waters that beckon for a dip. Aside from the stunning beaches and pearly white sands, the park is also home to mangroves, dunes and a nature center that houses exotic fish and other wildlife. Just five minutes away from Crandon Park is Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park which is home to the Cape Florida Light – the oldest standing structure in Greater Miami."
"Parents love Candon Park for its gorgeous 2-mile beach, lifeguards, and picnic areas. But kids keep coming back for the vintage carousel, paved roller rink, and a seahorse fountain. Throw in the pretty arboretum and gardens and you've got one of the best spots in Miami for kids of all ages."
"Just west of the ArtsPark at Young Circle, Downtown Hollywood Blvd is one epic place to go for little eateries, independent boutiques and a heap of thrift stores and cool galleries. When here, stop off at Ginger Bay Cafe for some of their Jamaican dishes that are so good. Alternatively, if you want to visit a retro boutique, pop into Vinyl Asylum Records or the other thrift stores you see along the street."
