A Miami institution made famous by Mel Kiser and Corky Irick’s movie Last Night at the S&S Diner. Bring a book while you wait ’cause wait you will in this popular counter spot. Try the chopped steak with onions and gravy, the roast turkey, or the fried sole or shrimp. And there are few better […]
This beach-themed establishment might look like an ordinary bar from the outside, but step inside and you’re hit with the sort of mayhem you’d find at a frat house on game day – right down to the college kids and cheap beer. Sandbar’s food offerings are solid, from the fish tacos to the five-pound burrito, […]
There are many places in Miami that serve Chinese dim sum, but only one restaurant offers an American version: the Sarsaparilla Club at the Shelborne Wyndham Grand South Beach. During the appetizer portion of the meal, apron-clad waiters approach each table with pushcarts containing an assortment of American-inspired bites and small plates. The chefs behind […]
In 2003, Peter and Denisse Schnebly turned their 30-acre farm in southwest Miami-Dade into a fruit-forward Florida winery, a subtropical oasis amid the area’s agricultural sprawl. It’s the perfect setting to enjoy a midday meal or weekend brunch. Coral-like limestone walls wind their way over walkways perched above a koi pond and past a lagoon […]
Arriving for your meal by boat only enhances the experience — an option at Scotty’s, where humble plastic tables await, shaded from the sun by an awning. As you drink deeply an ice-cold beer (or, if you’re working, an ice-cold tea), you can watch the boats chug past the outdoor patio. The seafood-slanted fare is […]

At this quaint spot in Miami’s fast-growing Little River neighborhood, well-known restaurateur Barclay Graebner’s crew treats you like family.

They’re perfect […]

The first thing you’ll notice when you walk into Shuckers is the breathtaking view of Biscayne Bay. Next will be the myriad sporting events playing on the many flat-screen TVs.

Located on a previously woebegone, restaurantless strip of Biscayne, Soyka was a pioneer offering for Bay Point and Upper Eastside locals to hang out. Its bistro fare includes burgers, elaborate salads, and upscale sandwiches such as the turkey club on country toast. Designer entrees, which can be pricey and uneven, include seared salmon with spinach […]
Once upon a time, the food options at your local bowling alley were stale nachos, school-style pizza, and maybe a dehydrated burger or two. But that is far from the case at Splitsville, located next to the movie box office on the second floor of the Shops at Sunset Place. In fact, the bowling alley […]

Sports Grill serves, by far, the meatiest and tastiest wings in town. Don’t believe us? Try ordering a batch of 16 ($12.25) or 25 pieces ($18.99) just before a big game. Sure, the folks answering the phone at this Kendall institution won’t immediately laugh and hang up on you, but they’ll hold back the chuckles […]
