Top Best American Restaurants in North Miami Beach

"The kingpin of Lincoln Road fine dining, Juvia is the mall’s rooftop hot spot and is perfect for a date night filled with chic people watching. Diners whisk up to the ninth floor of the 1111 Lincoln Road building for skyline views and a medley of French, Japanese, and Peruvian cuisine. View this post on Instagram"

"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."

"Snickerdoodle fans rejoice — Stubborn Seed’s famed cookies are available to go. Other sweet menu items include salted fudge brownies, key lime crumble, coconut flan, and ice cream sandwiches. There’s even a special gift box that features a 6-inch cake (chocolate cookies and cream or vanilla with cheesecake frosting), a bottle of bubbles, personalized card, and candles for $75."

"The brunch menu is split between sweet and savory making it easy to order dessert for breakfast. Go for the Chai waffles with whipped espresso cream and spiced syrup. Maybe the espresso cream will help fight off the sugar coma."

"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."

"SoFiWhat you're getting: Giant Chocolate Chip CookieWe’d tell you to never try and eat one of these cookies-the-size-of-your-head alone, but if you’re eating at Big Pink during the hours that one usually eats at Big Pink, counting calories isn’t exactly in the top 10 on your priority list. So if you’re not going for one of these burgers, get this longtime SoFi dessert staple, equivalent to about five that you’d get at Starbucks."

"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."

"Danny Serfer’s Blue Collar takes its cues from the classic American diner. The tiny restaurant in the MiMo District offers daily specials and elevated comfort foods. Start with a gutsy New Orleans-style dish of shrimp and grits with bacon and Worcestershire-based barbecue sauce, or Chanukah latkes (served year-round)."

"Heath Bar bread pudding and a rotating selection of cakes are what’s curbing sweet tooth craving at MiMo’s Blue Collar. Call ahead to ask what’s available. Rumor has it, the dessert menu is a bit bigger if the order is placed for takeout versus delivery."

"Serving up generous portions of gourmet American comfort food, this neighbourhood joint has a canteen-like feel, but the devastatingly delicious menu options and excellent craft beer selection more than make up for it."

"A must-visit Las Olas landmark, Big City Tavern mingles Asian entrées like shrimp pad thai, Italian four-cheese ravioli, and an American grilled...Read More"

"Andrew’s Diner is a much-loved eatery with 20 years of history in South Florida and an unshakeable reputation for excellent food. For those who love breakfast, the most popular dishes include eggs Benedict, pancakes, and biscuits. For those who prefer lunch or dinner options, the most popular dishes include the turkey club and beef stew special."

"This cafe features a colorful, whimsical interior, but the outdoor tables are considered the place to be. A concrete canopy shields the sun, assisted by colorful umbrellas at each table, creating an appealing courtyard setting that is shady enough to temper the heat. The original Balans was located in London's Soho, and the hip, cosmopolitan vibe is evident at the Miami Beach outpost."

"Fusion fare so well executed and so consistent, Balans has become a staple in Miami Beach dining. Particularly interesting on Sunday mornings … […]"

"Brunch from 11am-3pm Saturdays & Sundays350 E Las Olas Blvd, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33301. The Royal Pig Pub is temporarily closed due to COVID-19 restrictions, however, I’m keeping them on the list for when they safely open again. The Royal Pig has bottomless mimosas, Bloody Mary’s, Bellini’s, and Blue Point Toasted Lager for $15."

"Primanti is cash-only, but it’ll only take a tenner for you to walk out with an Italian sausage and cheese sandwich packed with fresh-cut french fries, coleslaw, tomatoes, and provolone cheese (onions by request). The famous Primanti sandwiches were imported from Pittsburgh, where they’ve been a hometown hit since 1933; pair one with a Cheezy Fry Boat."

"The shining beacon of historic buildings of Miami is located right in the middle of Downtown. The recently restored 1926 silent movie palace, complete with baroque balconies and red velvet curtains, exudes charisma. The Olympia Theater hosts film screenings, concerts, art exhibits, and other events under a simulated night sky ceiling graced by Elvis Presley, B.B. King, Luciano Pavarotti, and many others."

"Situated in the center of downtown Miami, Olympia has a 1920s vibe. The building makes for some great images. Tell your photography assistant to take the picture from across the street."

"Just west of the ArtsPark at Young Circle, Downtown Hollywood Blvd is one epic place to go for little eateries, independent boutiques and a heap of thrift stores and cool galleries. When here, stop off at Ginger Bay Cafe for some of their Jamaican dishes that are so good. Alternatively, if you want to visit a retro boutique, pop into Vinyl Asylum Records or the other thrift stores you see along the street."

"Named for owner Elliot Wolf’s grandfather, who emigrated from Germany to NYC in 1936 with his top hat, this spot is a traditional Jewish deli with a twist. Serving everything from bougie cocktails to matzo ball soup, the deli also offers fun and filling breakfasts. Get the Grand Schlam with two eggs, a crispy potato latke and your choice of pastrami, corned beef, bacon or maple sausage, or order the spot’s specialty: the “doughssant,” a cross between a doughnut and a croissant."
