50 Best American Restaurants near South Miami

“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!“

“Nice old school pub that's been there under different names since the 70s. Connected to the deli next door, you can order from the deli and bring it to the pub“

“This place is a gem! The grilled ponzu salmon was cooked perfectly, it was flavorful without overpowering the sauce. I also tried the serrano ham croquettes, and wow, they were crispy with a delicate, salty bite. It’s a place I’ll surely return to“

“The Bayshore Club is a Miami classic to eat and enjoy a beautiful view and day.“

“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!“

“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!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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.“

“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.“

“Ottimo cibo e cordialità, titolare top!!!“

“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“

“One of our favorite restaurants!“

“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.“

“LOVE! Walter is an amazing server and the staff as a whole is super into it. Watching FSU V Miami and couldn’t imagine a better vibe“

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

“Love it. Still the same from back in the day.“

“Tiffany great service“

“The experience was amazing, our server was awesome. The food was delicious. The only thing I would recommend is that they should not allow toddlers and children at the bar. I don't think that is appropriate at all. Not only for the children but also for the adults that are there to enjoy an adult experience. Otherwise, overall a wonderful restaurant.“

“Excellent food and service.The quality of the food and ingredients is appreciated. Our waiter Sebastian was the perfect complement to the excellence“

“The quality of food is high, for that I recommend it. The reason I wouldn’t go back is that the staff just did not care we were there at all. Still waiting for them to ask how everything is… we came through last year and had a totally different experience staff was super friendly and engaged even though the place was packed. We caught them at turnover and they couldn’t care less. We talked about hitting craft as a high point for our one night in Miami before cruising… and now we won’t bother going back to Bayside.“

“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.“

“Stopped in for a surprise happy hour as I was walking down the strip. When the bites came out, I was extremely pleasantly surprised. Those small each, and every piece was so quality and had layers to flavor. The short man behind the bar was absolutely pleasant Ant and made jokes with us and welcomed us from the moment we walked in. All service members were pleasant. Atmosphere is calming yet lively and fun.“

“Great place for couples!. A great choice for a first date. The food was served buffet style, and the service was excellent. They have a dance floor and a bar area with many intimate dining tables for couples. And if you are feeling romantic, Just 2 blocks away you will find the Executive Airport Hotel with sexy and romantic suites!“

“Amazing spot for a delicious meal. The Scottish salmon was the best Salmon I’ve ever had- truly delicious!“

“Jason… our server gave exceptional service. Food was delicious 😋 highly recommend this place“

“My best Sport grill , good food, excellent attention“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
We had an incredible experience at Batch Gastropub: Miami! From the moment we walked in, the service was top-notch. The staff was super friendly and attentive, and what really stood out was how hands-on the manager was. He personally came over to check on us, helped get our food and drinks sorted, and even treated us to free shots because of a short wait—talk about going above and beyond!

The vibe was energetic but welcoming, and even with the slight delay, the team made sure we were taken care of every step of the way. You don’t find service like this everywhere. Highly recommend this spot if you’re in Miami and want great food, amazing service, and a place that truly values their guests. We'll definitely be back!“

“No birthday desert for 80th birthday! Very surprising as other restaurant do something!“

“We've been eating at this restaurant for over 10 years I want to say and we've never had an issue with the food quality, except this past time. Our salmon tacos tasted a little bit frozen and came out to burnt. This is all just constructive because we love this restaurant, so much. “

“Really good service by Biannel & Yurisan! Definitely coming back! Great and service and food all around :)“

“Great place and Oxy was awesome“

“This was my first visit and the food was very good. We had reservations so there wasn’t a wait. I had the chicken and waffles and the portion was so much that I couldn’t eat it all. Would definitely eat there again.“

“We came to Earls Kitchen + Bar to celebrate Jessica's birthday, and the entire staff made it such a special night. They all signed a birthday card for her, and our server Jess went above and beyond; she took group photos for us, gave great recommendations, and even joined in when they sang Happy Birthday. The service was exceptional from start to finish. The food was delicious, the drinks were truly craft, and the overall vibe made it a perfect celebration. Highly recommend!“

“Servers all said they knew nothing about the Thursday 1/2 rack of ribs special that they said it isn't offered anymore. Well flipping through the adds attached to the table flip add list, we showed it and she said she would have to speak to her manager. She returned saying they can honor it. People don't all know to flip through that and just get handed a regular menu with no extra attachment or notification. Open to all customers!!“

“The food is always fresh and delicious. I love their Branzino. You get two fish filet with a crispy skin and crispy fried onion over petit potatoes. The appetizers and desserts are also delicious. I highly recommend two chefs for a couples dinner out.“

“We stopped in last Monday to kill time before we had to be on our cruise. I had the southwest salad amazingly delicious. My husband had the cheeseburger paradise, he said it was a great burger. Our bartenders Lisa and Dezearae were amazing. Always checking on us. They are very polite. Those two work well together. Definitely recommend and if you can get these two bartenders I can guarantee your experience will be amazing.“

“The cauliflower rice and buffalo chicken is life changing! I literally have no idea how healthy food tastes so good and the staff are always super nice people, and really great portions :)) ALSO IF YOU ORDER ON UBER EATS SOMETIMES A ROBOT WILL DELIVER YOUR FOOD WITH THEIR LOGO ON IT AND ITS THE CUTEST THING“

“Excelente ambiente y lugar. Buena comida!“
