Top Best American Restaurants in Miami Springs

"Described as having one of the best rooftop views in the city, Juvia’s got a menu to impress. While the plates are on the smaller side, the flavors and presentation will have you feeling fine and fancy. The ultra modern space serves up a French, Japanese, and Peruvian inspired menu."

"Head out for an al fresco dinner when you eat at Juvia, a Japanese-Peruvian fusion hot spot located on the roof of a parking garage above Lincoln Road. The fun part is when you pull into the garage and go right up the elevator to your..."

"Set atop the chains of Lincoln Road, Juvia is located in penthouse of the 1111 Lincoln Road parking garage, offering picturesque views of South Beach from every angle from its outdoor terrace."

"What’s there to say about Stubborn Seed that hasn’t been said already?. The award-winning upscale SoFi eatery is helmed by chef Jeremy Ford, a Top Chef alum who masterfully creates dishes that are as flavorful as they are beautiful. Everything about Stubborn Seed is an experience, which is why the Chef’s Tasting can’t be recommended enough."

"Chef Jeremy Ford's food is as beautiful to view as it is delicious to eat. The menu, available a la carte or as an eight-course tasting menu, changes often, so it's hard to pinpoint one dish to try consistently. But if you're ordering a la carte, don't skip the snacks."

"Time Out lists Stubborn Seed as one of the best places to dine in South Beach. It is run by Jeremy Ford, who won Top Chef. There is a seasonally changing menu that reflects the availability of fresh local produce."

"With its diner decor and multiple TVs, Big Pink has plenty to keep your kids busy. Come with your appetite; the restaurant is known for its enormous portions. Kids love the Big Pink TV dinner, which comes on a funky metal tray."

"Located on Collins Ave., The Big Pink is home to some of the most outstanding comfort food a human being can indulge in. From the Giant Chocolate Chip Cookie to the Chocolate Skyscraper Cake, this cafe is a must."

"Its deco pink exterior combined with the pink buggy parked right out front make this spot the perfect Instagrammable spot for you!"

"Located in the historic MIMO district of Miami and open for lunch and dinner, Blue Collar is a cozy restaurant that serves American comfort food in a casual setting. Owner/Executive Chef Daniel Serfer opened Blue Collar with the aim of serving the kind of food that he has always loved to eat in an inviting atmosphere, and he has succeeded in doing just that. If you are looking for romantic date night ideas in Miami, this is a great place to visit."

"Restaurants American Little Haiti / Lemon City. Danny Serfer doubled the size of his hip, cozy diner in MiMo, giving you more room to dig into his delicious hangover-curing, comfort food. Head to the covered patio or the new outdoor beer garden for the usual “eggy stuff” and “syrupy stuff,” including a bacon-egg-and-cheese burrito the size of your head."

"Food can be like a song, and sometimes you get mac and cheese or ribs or latkes stuck in your head too. Blue Collar is where you go to cure yourself when that happens. This little indoor/outdoor spot is located in a MiMo motel and is almost always packed with people who look like they’ve been thinking about this cheeseburger - easily one of Miami’s best - for weeks."

"The outdoor lounge at Greenstreet Cafe wraps around the exterior of the restaurant and overlooks the street in Coconut Grove, so customers can watch passersby and enjoy the beautiful Miami weather while partaking in a delicious meal. The place feels like a classy but casual bistro, with corrugated metal ceilings that form a stark contrast to the elaborately upholstered loveseats on the large patio. Before ordering a coconut crusted French toast, pumpkin pancakes, a goat cheese and tomato omelet, or a homemade cinnamon bun, guests can indulge in a sinfully delicious mimosa, Bloody Mary, or a breakfast cocktail, like the Grove Goddess, made with St. Germaine, Aperol, fresh watermelon juice, and cava."

"Restaurants Coconut Grove. More than a restaurant, Green Street is a gathering place for a confluence of cyclists, dog parents, families and people seeking a shady spot where to enjoy Miami’s sunny weather. The nicer the day, the longer the wait time, though the bar serves cocktails and food on a first-come, first-served basis."

"Located in the vibrant Design District, Michael’s Genuine Food & Drink is a friendly, laid-back neighborhood bistro that serves delicious homemade and seasonal cuisine for lunch, dinner, and weekend brunch. Chef/owner Michael Schwartz is dedicated to using only the freshest ingredients for his menu, which offers dishes such as chargrilled octopus, shitake mushroom risotto, and triggerfish ceviche, all of whose ingredients are sourced from local farmers and producers. The food menu is accompanied by an exciting list of handcrafted cocktails, beer, and wine."

"More than a decade old, this is still a buzzy neighborhood joint serving innovative, award-winning food without any pretense. If you're spending any time in the Design District, even if you’re just window-shopping (yeah, that’s what we all say), make a point of planning your day around a meal at Michael’s Genuine, whether that means brunch (banana cream pie, anyone?), lunch, or dinner. With such a varied menu, it’s truly a something-for-everyone place, and consistently delicious enough to wow even the most demanding diners."

"The Design District's dining OG, Michael's Genuine still impresses. Restaurateur Michael Schwartz's strategy is simply serving fresh food made with care. The menu rotates seasonally, but expect classics such as wood-oven-roasted octopus, house-made tagliolini with Calabrian chilies, and crispy pig's ears."

"Sometimes after a long night of vodka-sodas, you wake up seriously craving some diner food. And if you happen to live in Downtown or Brickell, that no longer means having to drag your hungover self through beach traffic to get it. This retro destination delivers a menu of over-the-top waffle flavors like bacon and cheddar and Oreo and Nutella alongside a waffle sandwich filled with ham, swiss, and fried eggs."

"Miami Diner, which already has a Downtown location, just opened in the old David’s Cafe space. They’ve got one of those very large diner menus, with burgers, breakfast, milkshakes, sandwiches, salads, pasta, and more."

"Cheesecake Factory serves brunch favorites like Fried Chicken Eggs Benedict, Bruleed French Toast & More. The Saturday and Sunday brunch menu is available from 10am to 2pm. Coral Gables Love reader Shayla says, “Eggs Benedict and the monte cristo breakfast sandwich!"

"This place has been serving up fresh, authentic Italian food on North Beach for more than two decades. Opened in 1993 by the Argentinean Cea family, brothers Gerardo and Fabian run the restaurant while father Arturo runs the kitchen and their mother Carla bakes bread and desserts. The happy hour from 5 p.m."

"Café Prima Pasta is the ideal location for those looking to enjoy home-style, Italian cuisine in a comfortable, yet refined atmosphere."

"The brainchild of James Beard Award-winning chef, Michelle Bernstein, and cocktail master and cantinero, Julio Cabrera, Cafe La Trova is an ode to Miami’s Cuban culture. Housed in the epicenter of Little Havana, Calle Ocho, it really is two spaces in one. In the front, guests can sip on classic Cuban cocktails that are served by bartenders properly dressed in bow ties and jackets while swaying to live music and dining on dishes like paella croquetas and lechon con chicharrones (mojo marinated pork shoulder, steamed yuca, crispy pork skin)."

"James Beard Award-winner Michelle Bernstein teamed up with master mixologist Julio Cabrera to create Cafe La Trova, this killer Cuban spot on the famed Calle Ocho in Miami's Little Havana. Vintage furniture, black-and-white photos, and a 1950' car (perfect for Instagram photos) create an Old Havana feel that's enhanced by the bongo-heavy live bands that occupy the restaurant's small stage. The energy is bustling and festive, and the crowd is always up for dancing."

"In Miami, if you want a big, loud, fun dinner with music and dancing, it usually means you’re going to end up at a clubstaurant. Which means you’re going to pay too much for terrible food while having to put up with an...interesting crowd. Or, you could just go to Cafe La Trova, a Cuban restaurant on Calle Ocho where a big, loud, fun dinner can actually also be excellent."

"Sure, once upon a time Better Days called itself a "pop-up" bar, but this laid-back watering hole has become a permanent go-to spot for the Brickell crowd serving up unique, handcrafted cocktails in a very un-Brickell like setting."

"Kitschy, ‘70s-inspired watering hole inside a thrift shop that’s perfect for groups of friends looking for a good time, some great craft cocktails, and maybe a round or two of karaoke."
