 Authentic Americana |
1065 Washington Avenue Miami, FL 33139 United States +1 305 534 6373 |
For a healthy dose of Golden Oldies ambience, visit this South Beach favorite. You will feel like you have been transported 40 years back in time. For 48 years the diner was actually located in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. In 1992 it was dismantled and transported to Miami Beach, where it received an enthusiastic reception. In addition to diner staples like burgers, fries, and great milkshakes, the restaurant serves a variety of salads, cold sandwiches, chicken and pasta dishes. Plates cost between USD3-USD11.

Pasta and people watching |
1787 Purdy Avenue Miami, FL 33139 United States +1 305 531 7007 http://www.joeallenrestaurant.com |
Located smack in the middle of club central and the SoBe scene, Joe Allen's maintains its reputation for uncompromisingly good food. Just about all the pastas are big enough to split, and you may want to share between a few people to leave room for the meat and fish entrees. Veal Scaloppini is excellent, as is the Grilled Swordfish. The restaurant's interior is elegant, but not extremely formal. The crowd here tends to be on the younger side, where people go to see and be seen. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Roadhouse Grill, a rowdy eatery with a casual, barn-like atmosphere is quite a change of pace. Country music rings through the air, a tin bucket of shelled peanuts stands at every table, and patrons are not expected to keep their surroundings tidy at all. So let those shells fall where they may. As for the food (from USD5.95), fresh and flavorful are two words that immediately come to mind. At USD7.95, the grilled chicken (sandwich or platter) is a standout. This is an enjoyable outing for "kids of all ages." Review © 2007, Wcities |
