34 Best American Restaurants in Miami Beach

“Hugo was fantastic. He was friendly, attentive and completely on the ball. He made us feel genuinely welcome, kept everything flowing smoothly, and added a lovely personal touch throughout. Service like that really makes the difference. Thanks, Hugo!“

“Excellent food!!! Specifically nachos with guacamole is delicious!!! We also love Ceviche with big corns“

“Their is not enough words to explain on how good this restaurant is from start to finish. Left feeling like I had dined and tasted the best food I have eaten. Being a fellow chef and restaurant owner all I can say is wow! The Hamachi should be a regular item. Hands down best dish and beautifully composed! Outstanding !“

“We had Chavely C. as a waitess, she was excellent, we can’t say enough greatness about her !“

“Me atendió Paula, excelente atención, atenta y servicial, hermoso lugar. Sin dudas volveré...“

“My family and I had brunch here during my Miami visit. The service was great, and the staff was very attentive. I ordered the Cuban chicken with plantains, a chicken sandwich, and a burger. I especially loved the plantains on the Cuban plate. The beachfront location adds to the nice vibe of the place.“

“Our server, Stefano, is the clear winner of the evening. His kind, attentive, and friendly demeanor is exactly what we needed after a long day of travel. The meal had some challenges (overcooked and then chewy replacement calamari, overcooked burgers, and replating of food cooked with an allergen vs preparing a fresh plate), but the portions and variety here are excellent. The short rib ragu was delicious. Stefano brought us a variety of complimentary treats at the end of the meal to help soften the disappointment, so again - Stefano saved our meal. Thank you, Stefano!“

“This little gem was the perfect spot for a nice brunch! The nutella waffle didn't disappoint!“

“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!“

“One of the best places to eat in Miami.“

“This club made me feel so safe the bouncers do an amazing job. One of the bouncers even wear as far as to walk me to where my Uber was because it was late at night and people were being creepy. The atmosphere here is amazing and I had so much fun I ended up going back again. They are the only place that let me store my bag for not an outrageous price. Drinks are expensive but that's to be expected of Miami“

“In love with this place!! I give it ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ for the excellent quality of the food, its exquisite flavor. The service of the establishment and the hospitality of its staff is invaluable since it harmonizes with the beauty of the place, it is a clean place located in an excellent area that allows you to relax while enjoying a wonderful view on the terrace!“

“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.“

“We came here for a small celebration and ended up having such a memorable night. The space has a great energy — modern, clean, and thoughtfully designed. The service was the cherry on top — responsive and professional without being stiff. Everyone was in a great mood and it honestly felt like the staff enjoyed being there as much as the guests did.“

“Visited for my friend 50th birthday breakfast. Food was fresh and tasty. Service was fast and courteous. We will be back.“

“That pita bread is better than pizza. Wood burning oven. Best traditional Greek dishes. Oh wait l, you want 45 oz of steak. Sliced … but bone with meat also on plate. Out of this taste bud world. Don’t think too much, eat and enjoy. Matias also is as good it gets taking care of us tonight. No more to say, I’m having dessert now.“

“If you’re in Miami Beach, Carlyle Cafe is a must-visit! The place has a cool Art Deco vibe (yep, it was in The Birdcage) and a great atmosphere. Huge shoutout to Rodrigo and Paz for the top-notch service! Perfect spot to soak in the Ocean Drive energy.“

“This is a must see spot in south beach! Great happy hour, some of the best oysters I’ve ever had (aguachile style), and really solid drinks. The whole experience was really made by our wonderful server Mateo. He was so welcoming and made excellent recommendations for food and drinks. Super fun energy from Mateo and we will definitely be back to see him!“

“I’m writing to advise if the outstanding customer I received from @Stephanie Vitori, the owner of cheeseburger baby. My experience of a long wait, at Daytona International Raceway, was partly due to Stephanie pulling the product back as the staff was about to deliver it, as she was not pleased with one of the items they were about to serve, which BTW, to a layman, looked fine. Thus, Stephanie suggested an altered order and comped me. Her counter service, pride in her product, and food were excellent.“

“Dégustation d'un Excellent Burger , qualité des ingrédients, viande, bacon, œuf ....surtout la mayonnaise chimichurri qui donne un goût incroyable....Aussi nous avons commandé des Fabuleuse, frites aux Fromages, du véritable fromage fondu sur les frites, pas une sauce fromagère industriel.... Je vous conseille la Dégustation de Véritable BURGERS AMÉRICAIN 🇺🇲.... Un Français, Fan de la cuisine US ....“

“the best service and the best smoothies. the burguers also are amazing“

“Wonderful table outside to watch the people traffic! Delicious polenta frittata and most tender and delicious octopus ! Friendly and gracious wait staff. Thank you.“

“We always love coming to SoBe and having the most relaxing delicious brunch at the Social Club with Leo!!! He always has great suggestions and he makes our visits funtastic!!! Thank you Leo and thank you SC!!!“

“Cool, and can be private in the evening, atmosphere! We visited after sun down. Outdoor seating in lush landscaping, water feature, umbrella, patio. Connected with The Tony Hotel, the pricing is affordable, the drinks big, and our server was awesome. We devoured the chocolate lave cake, along with strawberry and mango daiquiris and pina coladas.“

“My daughter and I have been guests of the one several times and each time we have been lucky enough to have the most kind, professional, engaging bartender bar none. Orlando will guide you through the menu and help you choose what best suits you. The salads and bowls seem simple but are fresh and flavorful and the protein additions are always cooked perfectly. Orlandos cocktails are done perfectly. He is a master and one of the main reasons we continue to come back. He is a star!“

“I absolutely love the customer service here. Jenny and Julieth are incredibly warm and genuinely make this place special. You can tell they’re not just working for tips, they truly enjoy serving people and take pride in what they do. They’re always happy to help with everything, from food recommendations to questions about the weather and travel. Their kindness and enthusiasm really elevate the entire experience.

Whenever I’m in Miami, I always come here for the delicious eggs your own way breakfast with avocado and hash browns! Yesterday, I tried the Margherita pizza and it was absolutely delicious as well! Compliments to Chef Victor - apart from making delicious food, he also remembers my usual orders and prepares the breakfast exactly how I like it. That personal touch really means a lot. Thanks, guys!“
