This classic Art Deco Paramount dining car served up traditional diner fare in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, from 1948 to 1992, before being shipped and plunked down smack dab, and fittingly, in the heart of South Beach’s Art Deco District. All the components of the American diner are here: a long counter that seats sixteen, red-and-white booths, […]

Everything at Big Pink is as a true diner oughta-be: belly-busting portions, with single items typically serving two to four people; proletarian prices; late hours; and breakfast anytime. The timeless comfort food is all house-made from scratch – even the thick potato chips and spicy ketchup – and offers some sexy upgrades: for instance, the […]
Imagine an afternoon stroll down the Champs-
Michael Beltran distinctly remembers the day he got his nickname. It was his first day as a high school freshman; Beltran walked in late to class, a chocolate milk chug in hand. Today, Chug is the name of the restaurateur’s Cuban-American diner, a successful pop-up he’s since expanded into a permanent, full-service eatery and modern-day […]
Nothing says Florida like airboat rides, swamp life and gator tails. If you’re into all things Sunshine State, no matter how bizarre, you’ll love Coopertown Airboat Rides & Restaurant. After riding around for the afternoon looking at local wildlife, nosh on said wildlife, including “delicacies” like frog legs, gator tail and catfish. This is Swamp-sourced […]
It is indeed a cozy, homey sort of diner on a bustling corner of Miami Springs’ business district. The walls are hung with fancy quilts and needlework, old black-and-white photos of the town circa 1930, and antique Coca-Cola paraphernalia. Real and fabricated ferns and flowers are everywhere, and delicious-looking cakes, pies, and pastries sit on […]

We need not go on and on here. We’re talking food on a stool. Tucked away in the corner of a secluded strip mall in Key Biscayne, this more than 40-year-old neighborhood hangout is short on elbow room, long on history, and steeped in cholesterol. Think we’re exaggerating? The house special – AKA “Ted’s special” […]
With sleek wood-paneled walls and mood lighting (including candles on the tables), this diner bears little visual resemblance to the homespun, railroad-car classic model. But traditional diner dishes — lightened up but just as all American as the originals — are indeed offered here, as well as more modern fare. Comfort-food fans will find satisfaction […]
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 […]
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 […]
Mason, created by Beaker & Gray owner Brian Nasajon, is an antidote to Miami’s trite fusion cuisine and over-the-top displays of foie gras. Here, comfort, quality, and convenience come wrapped in a sandwich. Mason is a 2,500-square-foot art deco-inspired space where just about everything on the menu, from pretzel-dough knots to maple ham and fish […]

An Ocean Drive mainstay for 35 years, News Cafe remains a prime spot to enjoy your coffee with an ocean breeze. The café recently underwent a remodel, and snagging an outdoor table on the porch surrounded by bougainvillea is a must for laid-back day-to-night people-watching. The menu spans breakfast favorites like café con leche French […]
It’s hard to screw up french fries. Step one, cut potato. Step two, fry potato. Step three, eat delicious fried potato smothered in ketchup. But to be the BEST when it comes to fries is another matter altogether. And The Ranch House Original has made a reputation for its fresh cut steak fries ($2.75) – […]
The original S&S, a horseshoe-countered Art Deco relic of a restaurant, is still dishing homespun fare in downtown Miami, but has expanded to a second, southern location in another landmark establishment – Allen’s Drug Store. Grab a seat at the counter, or at a table on one of the two levels of seating, and be […]

Wagons West is the perfect place for breakfast, lunch, or brunch. Don’t expect a slice of cantaloupe or complimentary mimosas, though. Instead, get ready for wisecracking waitresses and potty-mouthed cooks. But that’s exactly what gives this small, narrow, and heavily wooded anomaly in ritzy Pinecrest its charm. Pop in wearing a T-shirt and jeans, or […]
The lesson learned at this old-time burger stand, across the highway from Johnson & Wales University, is that “fast food” does not necessarily mean junk food. Nor is fast food always fast; you’ll wait awhile for your burger, Philly cheesesteak, fish sandwich, or sides (a large list of choices, ranging from half a dozen kinds […]
