Hole in the Wall Pub takes its name pretty literally. An all-American dive bar of the best kind, they serve up char-grilled wings and cheap beer to football fans, day drinkers and degenerates. Don’t take offense – we’re all one of the above from time to time. Mozy up to the bar and score some […]

Hard work is also the mantra of Hometown Barbecue founder Billy Durney, who constantly repeats, “Stay humble, stay focused, stay hungry.” Durney opened in Allapattah an outpost of what’s considered the best barbecue in New York City. Here, you’ll find all of the Texas signatures, including butter-soft brisket with a deep-magenta smoke ring rippled with […]
Home of the double entendre, the Hooters chain has become an American icon over the course of its short life. Founded in Florida during the glorious 1980s, the company with a hooting owl for a logo boasts its own magazine, a hotel on the Las Vegas Strip, and famous alumni like Hugh Hefner’s former girlfriend […]

The highlight of Hurricane Grill & Wings is the seemingly endless choice of sauces – 32, to be exact – that flavor the wings. They are broken down into groups ranging from category one (mild) to category five (seek shelter) and include flavors as varied as barbecue, Jamaican jerk, and “ridiculously hot hurricane sauce.” It […]
For decades, University of Miami students have been trying to dupe the bouncers at this Celtic-themed tavern within walking distance of campus. Yet no matter how closely they resemble their older cousin’s expired driver’s license photo, the bouncer, propped on his stool outside the double doors, inevitably refuses to let them in. Poor underage drinkers. […]
Proper sourcing is integral to the success of Izzy’s Fish & Oyster. That’s because the entire concept was born from chef-owner Jamie DeRosa’s desire to own a restaurant reminiscent of a New England clam shack. His wife Amy is from Rhode Island, and he was born on Long Island. Izzy’s is named for their 3-year-old […]

Opened by Monroe Udell in 1956, Dania Beach landmark Jaxson’s Ice Cream Parlor & Restaurant still makes each of its 45-plus flavors of ice cream by hand. Today the old-fashioned ice cream parlor boasts not only one of the largest – and best – ice cream selections in the area, but also one of the […]
Jimmy’s Eastside Diner has the casual, been-there-forever feel of a neighborhood hangout. The green-and-brown color scheme is oddly appealing, and the place looks bright and friendly – diner ambiance minus any dinginess. If Jimmy’s looks familiar, it’s probably because the diner was used as one of the filming locations in Barry Jenkins’ Oscar-winning 2016 film […]
You know Joe’s. The history. The gloriously sweet stone crabs. And, in season, the notoriously long wait for a table. But often overlooked is the consistently good food, the truly professional service, the free parking, the surprising value (except the crabs, which are an extravagance wherever you find them), and the dining room’s stately ambiance. […]
Food inspires passion. Just look at what happened to that Marie Antoinette lady when she got all creative with her cake. But few forms of grub inspire as much as the hamburger. She is, after all, a fickle mistress. Handled carelessly, the burger can be disastrous. But crafted by careful and practiced hands, it can […]
Down an ominous black staircase that once led to South Beach’s beloved Bond Street Lounge awaits K Ramen. Burger. Beer., an Asian-inspired oasis that serves among Miami’s best bowls of ramen. Better yet, this manga-inspired joint stays open late. That means fried chicken or pork belly sandwiches and a salmon-skin salad with crisped shards of […]
Though located north of its Homestead predecessor, the second installation of Keg South might be harder to find. It’s not as spacious as a typical sports bar, but the cramped quarters add to the allure. There are plenty of entertainment options, including pool tables, videogames, and flat-screens to take in sporting events. But it’s the […]

This unassuming Pinecrest institution has poured cold beers and stiff drinks for locals since the 1960s – so long that early ownership reportedly changed hands mid-poker games. Hidden behind an unmarked alleyway entrance, Keg South embraces its dive-bar soul with no-frills decor (replete with dollar bills stapled to the wall) and an atmosphere that feels […]
Once upon a time, Kendall Village Diner was known as Starlite Diner, and it was good. It provided an intimate, coffee-house atmosphere where people hung out playing chess or writing furiously in beat-up journals. Those days are over. The Diner has become a place where people go to drink and God-knows-what-else. On Wednesdays and Thursdays […]
