cincicruisers Posted July 24, 2019 #1 Share Posted July 24, 2019 Can anyone share info on these restaurants in downtown Miami? We are looking for good food at a reasonable cost. We are staying at the Kimpton Epic downtown. Kosh Burger & Beer Joint Sparkey’s BBQ Bubba Gumps La Sandwicherie also any other restaurants you could recommend.

goneclear Posted July 24, 2019 #2 Share Posted July 24, 2019 Google . Shops of Mary Village Brickell. Lots of dining options around there and an easy walk from your hotel. We always enjoy Trulucks, excellent food and service also a short walk but that is a more upscale restaurant. Menu and prices are on line to see if it fits your Budget. Also if you want a decent steak there is Capital Grille. just across the bridge from your hotel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CruiserBruce Posted July 25, 2019 #5 Share Posted July 25, 2019 Bubba Gumps is a well known chain, specializing in shrimp. If you like shrimp, it is pretty good. But if you are looking for something different, unique to a given area...Bubba Gumps would not fit the bill. Some research of TripAdvisor would be helpful.

BlueHerons Posted July 25, 2019 #7 Share Posted July 25, 2019 River Oyster, American Social, Batch are just a few of which I'd recommend. The Mod for this board lives downtown Miami and will be able to suggest a few. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flymia Posted July 25, 2019 #8 Share Posted July 25, 2019 If you want something more "Miami" check out Pollo y Jarras. Fantastic Peruvian food, casual and good prices. River Oyster is fantastic as well. A quick Uber ride is Garcias which is a fairly well known sea food place, prices are moderate, but very casual, shorts and sandals are fine there. I enjoy Big Easy Wine Bar a lot in Brickell City Centre. The options are endless. Out of your list only La Sandwicherie is a Miami type place. Kush is good, but you'll need to Uber and it is a small. Burger and Beer Joint I have not been in a long time, it is decent, nothing to write home about. I like Sparkeys but the last place I would go to eat in Miami is BBQ, especially if you are from Ft. Worth. And Bumba Gump is a big chain, very touristy. Though Bayside is a nice place to walk around and grab a drink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Host CJSKIDS Posted July 26, 2019 #10 Share Posted July 26, 2019 (edited) First, the area will be very safe for you to walk around and go to dinner. Do not bother with Burger and Beer joint, unfortunately both the service and the food has gotten to be absolutely terrible over the last few years. Read the reviews on Yelp. Bubba Gump is a chain restaurant and the food is just okay and it's all sysco type food. Kush is fantastic but is very small. Lokal in Coconut Grove is bigger and since you would have to uber to both, I would go there. Trulucks is fantastic but it's not cheap. La Sandwicherie is just a sandwich place but their sandwiches are very good. River Oyster is great, a locally owned restaurant. Toscana Divino is fantastic. Another totally locally owned place. Flemings on Brickell Ave is a chain but if you are looking for a burger, their happy hour is a fantastic place to grab one! $10 or $12 depending on which you chose. The bar is great for happy hour. As Blue Herons said, Batch and American Social are both great choices for something reasonable. Both also have great happy hours. American Social does get very busy .

I've eaten there several times and it is very good but diner food. If you want diner but want South Florida flavor, eat at Puerto Saga. Excellent Cuban diner.

PelicanBill Posted August 4, 2019 #14 Share Posted August 4, 2019 I was thinking about dinner the night before my cruise at CVI.CHE. I love Ceviche and this is Peruvian food with decent reviews. Anyone been there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
