Classic American diner food deserves its own culinary category. Large burgers, tons of fries, and soda pop. We were able to get a few spots at the counter for the classic diner experience. The ambiance and history of the place is neat, with it being a real diner train car that was converted over the years and brought to South Florida. People have been eating in the structure for a long time! Overall, the food was tasty. Everyone was really happy with what they ordered. The burgers were larger and not the small patty type, and there were more than enough fries to have something left over by the end. Service was quick, which is one advantage of sitting at the counter. It can be a fun stop on any trip. Five stars! read more

People who work in this restaurant is super friendly!This restaurant has always been a favorite of my parents whenever they visited us in Miami. However, the food wasn't particularly great, and none of it seemed fresh. I don't understand why they loved coming here, as they all ordered the same American traditional dishes that they enjoyed. It's heartbreaking to think about the memories we made here, especially since my husband got departed from ice moved back to his country! It's never going to be the same after the USA became more of a dictatorship. Maybe we'll come here for breakfast in the future, but it won't be the same.

We stopped by for brunch and had a great experience. The food was delicious and very satisfying. We ordered the Cuban Bennie's and the breakfast quesadilla, and both were full of flavor and nicely prepared. Friendly service, a fun diner atmosphere, and a solid brunch spot while visiting Miami. We really enjoyed it and would definitely come back. read more

This place was great, no complaints! The food was delicious and they gave large portions. The menu is insane, so many delicious options for breakfast or lunch to choose from. Service was quick and friendly. Price was super reasonable, especially being steps away from South Beach! The ambiance gave a true diner feel, which I loved! They had both inside and outside seating as well. read more

This place is excellent. It's exactly what you want from a diner. I've included the history of the place as described in the menu. The menu is huge, anything you could want in a diner, they have it. Everything was really tasty and the portions are huge. I ordered one egg and it came on a massive plate. We had a large variety of items including omelette, hash browns, home fries, pineapple, small fruit bowl, French toast, silver dollar pancakes, and all the meats. Everything was awesome. The service was very efficient and everything came out quickly. The diner itself is super cool looking both inside and outside and they have a ton of seating. We sat inside for the east coast diner feel but they also have outdoor covered patio seating as well. Highly recommend for breakfast and quaint style dining in Miami. read more

Wasn't sure what I wanted but you can't go wrong with diner food, small but cute. Waiters are very attentive, well oiled staff I would say. Lots of tourists with a few regular visitors. Food was hot and came out pretty fast, again they run this place like a well oiled machine. Lots of items to choose from on the menu but not off putting Reasonably priced and great location. read more

This was my 3rd stop this morning trying to find a breakfast stop. I liked the retro style, interior decor. A nice guy greeted me + my guest then told me Chris would be our server.

Will be back again tomorrow. read more

As someone who likes to wake up late on vacation the cute 11th street corner diner's all day breakfast was perfect. I had a omelette with freshly squeezed orange juice, both were great. My girlfriend also had eggs and orange juice with no complaints. Prices were fair and the service was good. Would definitely recommend :) read more

Way over priced, food was good. BEWARE they charge a 1&% charge extra then try to get you to add a tip on top never will go back!!

Chicken was a little bland on the seasoning but still a solid selection. You get a breast, leg, thing and wing. I chose yuca fries as my side which was also good. Nice out of the way off the strip eatery. That's still reasonable price for being in Miami. read more

11th Street Diner - Fried Chicken - American Near Me - Miami Beach, Florida

The 11th Street Diner is a true South Beach classic and exactly what you'd expect from a retro diner experience. The chrome exterior and cozy booths make it feel authentic and fun. We first came here 20 years ago, and it's still just as good a diner as ever! This time I ordered the eggs Benedict and my husband had a twist on eggs Benedict with a "chicken and waffles Benedict "-- classic diner staples, done right. The food was tasty, the staff was friendly, and the prices were fair. It's not gourmet dining, but it delivers on comfort food favorites and late-night cravings. An easy, reliable meal for anyone who wants a classic diner experience in Miami Beach. read more

An actual old fashioned diner transported from NJ to South Beach. Only thing they changed were the menu prices. Had a lox & onion omelette with hash browns and she had French toast. Open 24 hours on the weekend. Only thing I didn't like is that they seem to have a lot of rules - no smoking, no sharing, wait in line here, no MasterCard, no party's of 2 in booths when they are busy and many more. read more

I've been to Miami so many times and this was the first at this place. Seen it loads as walking by and there's a bar/club next door as well. Service was great, friendly staff and our waiter was excellent. We got seated fast, mid week but we had a big group. They originally had us down for two table but the whole party was there yet so one of the tables was given away. Anyway, a larger one opened up. Menu does have a lot of items. Some is just brunch which is only served on certain time and day. Food, your traditional diner meal. Breakfast and sort. Food was great and came out fast. read more

I appreciate that they mentioned several times that they do not take mastercard. I really enjoyed my salmon omelette with a side of grits and my companions liked theirs as well. Their Bloody Mary bar was also delicious. Service was fast and efficient. Inside it was a classic diner feel. read more

11th Street Diner - Salmon omelette - American Near Me - Miami Beach, Florida

We wandered in here, drawn by the cute diner decor on the exterior (which carried into the interior), because after a day out and about, diner food just feels right. The food was elevated diner food, as we found out. They have a huge milkshake menu with every candy and fruit flavor that you can think of. I was really tempted to order one but thought about the sugar content. Luckily my friend ordered a chocolate almond milkshake that I was able to try---delightful. Creamy, nutty, sweet, chocolatey, it was a complete blended sundae, which I think is what a milkshake is supposed to be. I ordered the Poulet Sandwich, which has grilled chicken, roasted red peppers, greens on a hummus spread roll. The sandwich was clearly fresh from the greens and the plumpness of the red peppers. I felt a little clean eating it while in a diner, of all places. I appreciate the inclusion of fresh, healthier dishes on a diner menu that easily could have been as greasy as a pancake house. Our server was prompt and available, when I couldn't decide what I wanted to get for 2 of his table visits. The diner easily got full and you can tell it became busy, but we did not have to wait forever to get anything. I went back inside the diner while I was waiting for my ride to use the restroom, a single one for each gender. A cockroach walked across the floor while I was in the women's restroom. I went to the manager who was standing at the front stand arranging menus and had to use Google translate to tell him that a cucaracha was in the women's bathroom. Not sure how urgent the response was. Other than the bathroom situation, the food and service were worth the time. It's a good stop if you're in the area in need of some nice diner time! read more

I'm not typically a diner goer, but I wanted to check out this restaurant with my friend. We walked here from the hostel and I was sadly catcalled by a homeless man that my friend cursed out. When we got into the restaurant, it was severely packed with people. My friend and I decided to eat on the patio which was available. I was excited to taste the food and thankfully, they had vegan-friendly options. I opted for an avocado salad with vinaigrette. My friend got the traditional American breakfast. The portion sizes were massive, I was expecting to receive a tiny side salad. The salad was delicious and flavorful. Our waiter was nice, funny, and attentive. Heads up, this diner does not accept Mastercard credit cards. I was happy to find cash in my wallet if not, I'd been SOL. read more

I was in the mood for some breakfast and so I hit up 11th street diner and as usual it did not disappoint. I had a short stack of Pancakes (2) with 2 eggs over easy and toast. Nothing crazy or out of the ordinary. But the food was definitely super delicious. Eggs came out perfectly as did the Pancakes. The pancakes were golden! Just the way that I like it. (Not burnt). Nice and fluffy. Toast.. You can't mess toast up. Then again I've had places give me barely toasted bread But this place brought me perfectly toasted bread! Service was great. Staff was attentive and kind. The place itself is beautiful. You know.. A good ol classic dinner with the sheet metal facade. Can't go wrong with these. So if you're in the Miami area make sure to visit 11th street diner. You won't be disappointed. Stay blessed up y'all! read more

Since moving to Miami, I love coming to this place. It's a great place to bring people that are visiting and they're located in South Miami Beach. They have a great menu with a ton of different options. They also have a full bar with amazing cocktails. After being here several times, I think the service is great. You can go to a ton of places in Miami Beach and get subpar service and okay food. This place is worth checking out . read more

This my go-to when in SOBE. I may try new places, but this is always on my agenda. Service is great, and the food is well made- not overly greasy like breakfasts in other establishments. It has the classic diner car and an ample outdoor seating area as well. Menu is robust and there's something for everyone. We had Nutella pancakes, eggs Benedict, and make your own omelette. Portions are ample- so bring your appetite. We've been dining here for years and they are consistent with their quality. Highly recommend! read more

We came for breakfast after getting off a red eye flight so we were exhausted. Bummed to find out that they actually are not 24h Friday and Saturday. They open at 7:30 on Saturday. They have a huge menu, good variety and good coffee. Their cornbread hash was delicious (some of the best we've ever had), as was the French Toast, but it was a little soggy inside- not cooked enough. The potatoes and sausage were also good! The service was great, our server was very attentive and so nice. They add a "service fee" of 18%, which is considered a tip- it goes to the server. Overall good little diner! read more

Came to The Diner in South Beach and tried the waffle burger for lunch. The place has a cool, relaxed vibe with nice ambiance--definitely a fun setting to grab a bite. That said, the food was just okay. The waffle burger was an interesting idea, but it didn't really wow me. For the price, I expected a bit better quality and execution. It wasn't bad, just not super memorable. Good for the experience, but I'm not sure I'd rush back unless the menu gets a refresh or prices come down a bit. read more

Prob a 3.5. Server was awesome. Portions are huge. Ambience is typical northeast diner which we liked. We split the caramel French toast and the waffle and eggs. Both dishes were typical diner breakfast. Good not great. Caramel was lacking in the French toast. It was there just not a lot thus not worth the up charge. In any event this is a solid place with huge portions and friendly service with decent enough food. read more

I have wanted to try this spot out for 12 years and now I finally have been. I LOVED IT. I loved the quirky fun interior. The service was top notch. The menu was vast. The food was typical of a diner and did not disappoint at all. We tried a blue cheese burger - fab, a breakfast - fab, an oreo milkshake - fab and a fried chicken sandwich also fab. Also to be noted this is ANOTHER historical spot, for Miami! The car is art deco style. read more

The 11th Street Diner has been a South Beach landmark for 30 years. The diner is shaped like a classic car. This is the place to go for all American favorites such as thick juicy hamburgers, seafood, eggs, pasta, fries, a variety of delicious milk shakes and breakfast being served all day. The service was awesome. That's a winning combo in our book! We literally dined here the majority of our stay in Miami. Every single item that we ordered was delicious. If I could recommend anything it would be the sweet potato waffle fries. They are to die for! read more

Just okay. $7.50 for a regular orange juice is insane. Sorry not sorry. At most that normally runs $4.75 anywhere else, even NY. The food was fine, nothing to write home about. My friend liked their has browns. Be aware that they DO NOT accept Mastercard here; odd. And they will add gratuity... so our very basic breakfast was literally $66.71. Never again. read more

Fast service. Great food. The Havana burger and the fish and chips are both amazing. Tasty Cajun fries. Would go here again.

Walking down Washington we noticed this old school looking dinner and decided to give it a try. It was super busy so gave the impression and idea something amazing was happening inside. Although service was friendly, quick and efficient the food wasn't memorable. I also didn't like they weren't accepting Mastercard when we went. Something to experience for sure but wouldn't do it again. read more

Was drawn in by the cute retro diner facade. Was hoping for a great meal, but left underwhelmed. I ordered the "world famous chicken sandwich " and it was small, greasy, and totally unremarkable. The $10 milkshake was tiny and just average--definitely not worth the price. As other Yelpers have mentioned, they tack on an 18% mandatory gratuity, which feels excessive given the below-average food and service. And to top it off, they don't even accept MasterCard. For a place just a couple blocks from the beach--loaded with a variety of better albeit overpriced sidewalk cafés with better food and vibes--you're better off heading in that direction. This one's a pass for me. read more

Season 3 Episode 9 ... DDD ... Guy visits the 11th Street Diner & shares its heritage!! It is an original Art Deco Diner from Wilkes Barre, Pennsylvania. It was built in 1948 by the Paramount Dining Car Company of Haledon, New Jersey and transported to Wilkes Barre, where it opened that year. It continued serving traditional American food for 44 years, at which time it was dismantled and transported to the historic Art Deco District of Miami Beach. After many months of restoration work and with the help of the people of the city of Miami Beach, the Diner was restored to its original Art Deco design and opened on September 11th, 1992. "Now a Miami Beach landmark, the Diner has been showcased in magazines, movies, music videos and TV food shows, including The Food Network's Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives. As they are entering their 28th year of operation, they continue to hope visitors enjoy a part of America's original history and classic traditional fare." Guy enjoyed Apple & Raisin Pork Chops ... as did my hubs! I had 1/2 of a turkey club sandwich! It was delicious!! Bathroom clean ... Server polite, if a bit slow ... no internet while there - so cash only! 18% gratuity automatically added to bill! read more
