50 Best American Restaurants near Coconut Grove

“Food is life, Flanigan's is the best place to enjoy your life.“

“Andres was our server; he was knowledgeable, helpful, friendly, and patient. Overall the food was tasty, however the Yuca fries were only okay and my sea bass was a bit too thin/ small, though still quite flavorful. I enjoyed my time at this restaurant mainly due to the excellent service and the company I went with 😀“

“Worth the five star rating. Happy hour 4-8 P.M. weekdays with $1.00 raw bar for oysters, clams shrimp. Fantastic view on marina. Half price drink menu. Killer She crab soup. The iguanas leisurely walking around made great entertainment for adults and youngsters of all ages. I did love this place and will be back. Google or Mapquest Monteys in Coconut Grove. You won’t be sorry“

“Great beer selection, nothing extravagant. Just local bar/ pub convenience. Only gripe , UM students tend go there, thus can get a little obnoxious“

“We always come to News Café for breakfast — it’s the only spot on Ocean Drive that still feels authentic.
The staff is always friendly, the vibe is super chill, and the food never disappoints. Whether you’re into something healthy or classic American breakfast, you’ll find it here.
With its great location and iconic history, this place is a true Miami must-visit.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The Birdcage Café is a hidden gem in Miami, and it’s all thanks to the incredible duo, Rocio and Rodrigo. From the moment we walked in, they made us feel like family. Their warmth, attention to detail, and genuine care created an atmosphere that was both welcoming and unforgettable.

Rocio has a gift for hospitality—her energy lights up the café and she makes every guest feel special. Rodrigo’s passion shines through in every dish and drink; the flavors are thoughtful, balanced, and absolutely delicious. You can tell they pour their hearts into everything, from the beautiful presentation to the little personal touches that make the experience extraordinary.

What stood out most is how much love and pride they take in what they do. It’s rare to find a place where the food, service, and ambiance all come together so perfectly, but Rocio and Rodrigo have created exactly that. The Birdcage Café isn’t just a café—it’s an experience you’ll want to relive again and again.

If you’re in Miami and want to feel at home while enjoying food and drinks that will truly impress you, this is the spot. Rocio and Rodrigo are simply the best—thank you both for making our visit unforgettable!!!“

“Friendly, comfortable and cozy this is another Blue Collar gem. I came for the happy hour 5-6:30 and had three items and a amber ale draft. Now that that’s done; I’m coming back for the regular menu. Clams casino, oysters on the half shell and seared scallops were absolutely the bomb! Try it!“

“The food is delicious here, I loved it, I highly recommend it, my family and friends were very satisfied with the food, we will surely return.“

“Had a great breakfast and best service by Ivan, super friendly, ahead of our needs and even gave us a free pastry, such a nice treat! Will be coming back soon!“

“Rolando's awesome, honestly. Super friendly and hooked us up with some great spot recommendations. The only thing was the drinks cost me like $200 for four drinks and some late night snacks, which was kind of crazy. But overall, it was a good vibe since it was my first stop in Miami.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Must-Visit at Miami Airport!

Had a long layover at the Miami Airport and decided to stop by Corona Beach House and wow, what a great choice! We ordered the chorizo queso and chicken sandwiches, and both were incredible. The chorizo queso, in particular, was hands-down the best I’ve ever had in my life… so good that we actually ordered another one to go and packed it in our backpack for the flight!

A huge shout-out to Joanna, our amazing server, who went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. She even checked on our flight time to ensure we wouldn’t miss our connection. Her kindness and attention to detail truly made our experience exceptional.

If you ever find yourself traveling through Miami International Airport, Corona Beach House is an absolute must-stop. They even have an express area designed to accommodate travelers on the go. Don’t miss it — and be sure to ask for Joanna!“

“Valentino was such a great server!!!! Definitely worth the hype and experience. If you are watching your budget this is not the place.... If you are looking to have an experience, good food and classy/elegant dinner then this is the place for you. Minimum spend REQUIRED PER PERSON IS $150 plus automatic 20% gratuity..Definitely a must go!!! Try their lobster, red snapper (mighty fresh), pearl dessert, appetizers - calamari, dumplings, short ribs..... OMG to die for their drinks !!!!!! This is definitely black friendly restaurant. We were treated like humans..... Definitely a big deal for me... people should only spend their money where they are respected.“

“We had the absolute best experience here. We stopped in after departing our cruise, and were greeted with good vibes, good food and great drinks. Between Pamela and Camila we were well taken care of, not to mention they have one of the best hookahs I’ve had. I will be back and I’m telling you don’t miss out on this gem!“

“The Thousand Sunny in Pinecrest is an absolute gem. It's truly an amazing spot that perfectly blends incredible food with an atmosphere any anime fan will fall in love with. From the moment you walk in, the One Piece themed decor immediately sets the tone. It’s colorful, detailed, and packed with fun references that make you feel like you’ve stepped right onto the Going Merry. The food here is just as impressive as the ambiance. Every dish we tried was delicious, beautifully presented, and reasonably priced; a rare combination these days. The hot pot dishes were definite standouts. On top of that, the staff was genuinely kind and welcoming, adding to the warm, friendly energy of the place. Whether you’re an anime fan or just someone looking for great food and good vibes, The Thousand Sunny is absolutely worth checking out.“

“I loved this place. I took my kid here and everyone was so kind to her especially Ana. Everyone was so since it was Halloween but everyday I hear from my friends that this place is really good and that if I come here I should ask for Ana which I now realize the reason why which is that she is the best worker of all works because she is so nice with my daughter and everyone!“

“uma delícia, atendimento personalizado. comidinha deliciosa. ambiente agradável.“

“We went at 8:30 .. know that it turns into a club at 10 or 11 (check the website) and is open until 3 am. We are past our club days but enjoyed the show from the mezzanine, great service, drinks and food .. it's loud and fabulous. It was too loud to talk but it didn't matter. Fun spot!“

“Dined out here in our last night with my DW. Service was phenomenal. Food unfortunately was average. It was not bad, but for the type or class of restaurant, it could've been outstanding. I had a skirt steak, medium, with French fries. A classic Parisian steak frites. Sauce was good but no memorable, steak was good, but also not memorable, however the cooked it correctly. DW had crab cakes and they were average. It's a good restaurant, with an amazing service, but food can be better in order for them to stand above the crowd.“

“amazing food and super good beer. friendly staff , great atmosphere!“

“Our server was excellent. I don't remember his name. The food didn't live up to our expectations. The oxtails were overcooked, the rice was undercooked and the collards had too much acid. The bread basket, shrimp & grits & catfish were good. It was a little disappointing. But we love Marcus and will continue to support his restaurants.“

“Had a wonderful night tonight! Loved the fact that Heather, the General Manager came over to speak to us. We watched her walk all around with a smile and stop and talk to every table. You know she is happy with her job by her great smile! We will be back“

“I had heard about this hot restaurant from New York that I must try, but was reticent to do so because Carbone was the name of a character from Goodfellas that Robert Deniro's Jimmy Conway whacked when tying up loose ends after the Lufthansa job! Poor sap was hanging frozen in a meat locker. I'm glad I put that imagery aside because this place was amazing! Platitudes like wonderful ambience, fine service, flavorful food, great family style dining, are all applicable but just don't capture the full spirit of the evening. From the pickled cauliflower, to the signature spicy rigatoni ala vodka (which pairs nicely with their pinot noir offering Presqu'ile), to the Caesar salad (you must have those croutons!), and their delicious Italian petit-fours, everything burst with flavor and was resplendent of the authenticity of old Venice. And since you will be spending more than a few pennies here, one must luxuriate in the mid century environs replete with Murano glass chandeliers while being serenaded with a sound track of Italian crooners like Mel Torme and Frank Sinatra in the full bela canta tradition. If you have a special occasion, Carbones Miami Beach will make for a memorable evening.“

“Stopped in for a light breakfast and some coffee on June 17, 2025. Had a great server by the name of Richie S. He was prompt, polite and professional. The three p's that denotes a great employee. He was also patience and properly groomed, those are rare qualities in today's society. This made my dining experience exceptional, and I have always enjoyed stopping at Denny's when traveling. It also made my day, thanks to Richie and the entire staff of Denny's at 3600 Biscayne Blvd in Miami, Florida.“

“Intimate and designed around the bar, the gathering water hole, where the staff are friendly and fun. Look out for Cricket.“

“Boia De is very special. Bold flavor with a delicate execution. The staff are humbly proud of their accomplishments and the Michelin Star is well deserved. The smoked muscles were delicious you need them. Steak tar-tar you must have. The gnocchi will change your life and the lamb could alter they ways of man & possibly change the world. No liquor needed here. Creative mixology with sake & Pilsner will make you happy. Desert a must… buy 2. Or 3.. Love from Mary & Peter“

“We had dinner as part of our weekend away. Happened to be on the night of a FIFA club World Cup match between LAF and a club from Tunisia! So fun watching the fans celebrate. In addition despite the crowd service was great and food and drinks very good.“
