Comfort Food Restaurants near Miami Beach, FL

“The flavor … oh the flavor. Their cuisine is prestige! We had the Jones n’ Hot Chicken sandwich which was so full of flavor with a kick of just right amount of spice; the jalapeño fries were the bomb and last but definitely not least the sweet potato biscuit is to die for! These biscuits melt in your mouth. So good, I had to bring some back to Houston with me. I highly recommend Chick N’ Jones you won’t be disappointed.“

“While visiting Miami Beach, I went to Jules Kitchen (Tiki Fish and Burgers) bar in the Circa 39 Hotel. The food and service were AMAZING. Loved the vibe. It was so good, I asked to speak to the cook to let him know just how good the food was. 😍“

“We are from Chicago and were looking for a local breakfast spot that wasn't our hotel breakfast. This place was cute, clean, and the people there where very nice. The food and coffee was great. Couldn't have asked for a better breakfast place.“

“The bar team, Miguel & Yasmanny are the perfect team.“

“Holy cow this place is amazing!!! Shakes? Indulgent. Fries? Perfect. Beer? Ideal. And the grilled cheese? The best I've had. Short rib, bacon & blue cheese, a Mac n cheese sandwich, and a build your own. So yummy. The right amount of melt and crispy buttery toast. And the service is fabulous. Star, who waited on us, was delightful, helpful, and friendly. We would definitely come here again and will always recommend it to friends. What a treat!!! Thank you!!!“

“Had a great experience. Croissants were amazing and after we finished, our waitress came up to us and gave us 5 different pastries to take home for free!!!! Thank you.“

“El salmón está delicioso!!“

“I do not care for Mexican tamales, so I was hesitant, but the #1 Cuban tamale with chicarrón and avocado and lime was one of the best things I have ever eaten. We also LOVED the corn and pork soup! Such flavor! The name of this place is not a lie.

Parking: Just a few spots but you can also find street parking.“

“Good food and good service.“

“Omg hands down one of the best meals I've ever had!! husband went adventurous and chose the Braised Oxtail, I got lamb bolognese over gnocchi, insanely delicious. And our boys got the "Ragout" Sandwich. Look this place up. Sooo good !! We even ordered dessert to take back to the hotel for later (key lime pie and butterscotch heath bar bread pudding). I expect it to be just as awesome.“

“This is a true gem, you can tell by not just the great taste of interior design but the will not to spare in it. I personally love the work of Eduardo Suárez, the guy behind the forever missed “Tigre” restaurant.

This investment of energy and creativity gives you a lot of information about what the true intention of developing a restaurant is, which is more than just a place to sit and eat, it’s an atmosphere and all the senses must be stimulated, to be present. The food and service were great, and I know this place is more into breakfast and brunch, but at night is a special treat too.“

“I used to come to this place for the most delicious coffee in the whole area. Now they keep updating their menu with healthy, tasty and beautiful items making it a perfect lunch place as well!
Everyone who works there is so sweet and kind, makes me feel like home every time I visit. Definitely recommend!

Parking: Easy to find street parking“

“The Chicken Parm Mac & Cheese was amazing. I will be back for more. If you’re in Miami, you must obtain this cuisine.“

“This business has changed management and it’s name but is no longer Maso, it is Brezza Beach Bar & Restaurant. I have come here several times over the past year and the both the service and food are always excellent. Breakfast is on the pricier side, but I find that lunch and dinner prices are reasonable. The biggest problem with the restaurant is accessing it as it is on the beach side of a huge 3 tower condominium complex, but it’s well worth it. The view of the beach and ocean is fantastic and there is both indoor and outdoor seating. Free WiFi helps you overcome the lack of reception caused by the huge concrete towers. You do not have to be a condo resident to eat here. The center tower lobby receptionist will instruct you on how to get to the back of the building; there is a path through the garage.“

“Disclaimer: I am not the audience for ordering food and picking it up from a box without interacting with human beings. I'm not there yet. So although I'd heard of Soulfly, I wasn't particularly interested in visiting. Nevertheless, was celebrating my mom's birthday and the birthday girl wanted to come here after our wine tasting next door.

I'm glad the experience was not as impersonal as I anticipated. Partly because I just didn't feel like sticking to the script but also I couldn't get that doggone pickup situation together. LOL I had so many issues with the code to retrieve my order, it was seriously comical. I did observe others come in, put in the code, get the food and go though.

You do have to order on the kiosk but I was able to ask the manager if I could order it like this or that, which he happily made note of for my particular order. There was a little wait for having ordered onsite - things would have felt quicker had I ordered online from offsite then stopped in to pickup when notified the order was ready. I had the wings and cajun rice. Now what surprised me was that chicken! Ok, Soulfly! Very nicely seasoned, good crisp on the outside and juicy on the inside. I was impressed considering my expectations. It reminded me of those good chinese takeout chicken wings. Nice surprise. The cajun rice was just okay for me.

The challenges to me coming back are that the price is just high for what you get. I understand there is a cost for "convenience" so it is what it is. However adding $6.54 to the order when I had to do the work to place it then pick it up is.... I don't and won't mind continuing to do things the old school way to pay a more reasonable price for fried chicken in other nearby neighborhoods. Also, no "convenient" parking. I feel like this spot is more geared towards people strolling on the street or for food delivery drivers who will be on a moped only.

Overall for the chicken and helpfulness of the onsite staff, I give it a 3.5, not just a 3.“
