I don't typically leave reviews, but I stopped in today and had one of the best hamburgers I've had in a long time, the Beaches hamburger that has a fried egg on it. The sweet potato fries were also very good and the service was fast and friendly. read more

First time in Miami Beach and only a couple Other places to compare to. If you don't have a car and want somewhere close to walk to, don't stop here. Jump in the channel and swim to the other side to find something else! I love dive bars, they're all over Wisconsin, so I've come to expect good things from hole in the wall joints. This place completely destroyed that approach. One other family in the bar at a table, us and one guy at the bar. Server was too busy chatting with the one guy to give good service. Food took forever to come out and was mediocre at best. Portions were huge, but size doesn't make up for taste. Fried chicken was actually three chicken breasts that were breaded. Had no flavor though. Chicken tacos were ok, nachos were Meh at best. Meatball sub was ok, but fries were something thicker and larger than standard steak fries and were also just Meh. If you're in town and just want a quick bite to eat with local fare, stop by McDonalds instead. At least there you know what the food quality is and you can choose appropriately. read more

Just a short walk from our hotel. I opted for the mahi tacos which were very satifactory and paired them with a margarita. Service, food all good. read more

If I could give zero stars I would. This place is disgusting, the food is mediocre at best, and it's expensive. Each item we bought had a service charge added to it. When it was only 4 waters and 2 meals. Not to mention, the lady who works mornings is absolutely awful. She' was incredibly hateful to me and my friend. read more

Bathrooms were disgusting; never clean, tiolets clogged and the urinals don't flush; Tim is the owner and stated won't fix anything; definitely stay away from this place read more

Came to this bar late evening after a long flight from SFO. As tired as I was at 11pm, took a quick hot shower at our hotel and walked around. This bar was just a block away and could use a good drink, and this place closes late also! Ordered my usual shot of Jameson and IPA. Waitress for the night was very friendly and hospitable. Stayed in Miami Beach for 3 nights before our cruise and this bar was our go to each night. Service was really good each night with a different waitress. This is more like a dive bar feel when you come in, with a smell off the surrounding fish tanks around. Smells like they haven't been cleaned in a while, and thought it just added character to the place. read more

We all love a good dive bar, two years ago when I was in town I found it and it was great. I'm back in Miami for work so I hit the dive bar. And it sucked. They're running some sort of scam over there. two drinks in a bar bite. was not affordable. The scam is the cash register on my check two drinks for $12 times two equal 26.61. The last time I checked 2×12 is 24. Never gone back. It sucks. read more

Nice bar, open until late, only bar open at night in this area and it has a casual vibe and good snack food read more

Delicious lamb chops, best asparagus i ever had. Delicious shrimp scampi with noodles! So good we came back to eat here the next night too! Very nice bartenders. , but this is a hidden gem FABULOUS chef( was told hes Jamaican) read more

This was hands down one of the worst bar experiences I've ever had. After a long flight to Miami and already feeling ripped off by staying at the Notebook Hotel next door, we hoped Beaches Bar and Grill would at least be a decent place to unwind. It wasn't. We waited over 15 minutes for someone to take our order, and when we politely tried to get the attention of one of the two waiters, she snapped that she was helping someone else. We weren't even trying to rush her, just hoping to get acknowledged. The food and drinks were ridiculously overpriced--$80 for two orders of wings and two margaritas. To top it off, the waiter pre-loaded a 20% gratuity onto the bill. We paid it because I wasn't about to fight over it, but let's be honest: she barely earned it with how inattentive and dismissive she was. I left feeling completely ripped off and will never be back. Save your time, money, and patience. read more

I ordered mozzarella sticks and they came out cold and mushy--clearly left sitting in the window for too long. When I brought it up, the server tried to convince me that's how they're supposed to be served. Seriously? Cold cheese sticks? It felt like they were more interested in defending bad service than making it right. Really disappointing experience. read more

Might be the nastiest most expensive food I've ever ate. Cheese sticks tasted gritty, pulled pork sandwich was dry and boney, beer tasted like glass was soapy. Worst decision I've ever made. read more

I'm from out of town attorney and came here tonight for late lunch. On the menu, it stated 18 pct service charge on all bills. And I was a little Perturbed for one person 18 pct automatic. It should be my decision up to me. When I brought it up to the server. She explained this is for the owner And we don't receive any. This is a deceptive practice and as customers we assume The 18 pct goes to the wait staff. If this is not immediately changed I will pursue the labor board and What ever else. Definitely a civil case I can win easily. I don't Know how you steal from your employees. You have 30 days to correct this. read more

Nasty and egregiously overpriced. They charged me $36 for a vegan pasta when the chicken was only 23. The waitress shamelessly charged me tips twice on the machine, and it was already built in as a service charge, but then she kept lying that the service charge is not a tip. Total fraudsters. read more

Terrible drinks, even struggled to make a virgin daiquiri that did not look like puréed baby food. Then had the nerve to charge us without offering to make something different. I also didn't see any handwashing. They shouldn't still be able to serve the public, especially not the guest of the Lexington Hotel. Customer services training is needed. read more

I was here for the first time and I enjoyed myself. Let's say for example you wanted to be in a place with a juke box and a relaxed vibe, you didnt want to pay $38.00 for a salad and you wanted to be surrounded by nice bartenders and fish tanks? Well then I'd say this is a good time. The customers let me terrorize the juke box with lots of metallica and carlos Santana tunes ( I have an interesting taste in music- ok ?) This place reminds me of Snickers in Chicago if anyone has ever been there but with more room. The mahi mahi was a bit on the well done side but I'm sure if I would have made a point of mentioning it they would have made it medium. The lemon flavor was a tasty touch. My friend was getting whiskey sours for like $10.00 and a vodka cranberry for $8.00 i believe. Not just for tourists...its not pretentious at all. I'll be back again- loved this place read more

Order: - Pulled Pork Sandwich (3/5) - Grilled Mahi-Mahi Sandwich (3/5) Pros: - Cheap compared to a lot of other places around this area - Quick service - A lot of empty seats Cons: - Not the best tasting food - Not the cleanest establishment - this place doesn't seem like they sanitize thoroughly and they didn't have any working hand sanitizer stations Overall: If you're looking for a quick and cheap bite, this place is a good options. Other than that, don't be expecting a 5-star experience from here. read more

Beaches Bar & Grill - Pulled pork sandwich - Bars Near Me - Miami Beach, Florida

The service was non-existent, we arrived at 330pm on a Saturday and there was only one other party of five there and they left 10 minutes after we arrived. Which was also about how long it took to get the waitress to come see us. We waited 25 more minutes before getting the food we ordered, and we were the only ones there still. During that time she never came to check if we needed anything. She dropped our food off without saying a word and walked away . Then when I stood up to go ask her for more water she pointed at the table and told me to sit down. The food was a joke. I ordered the blackened mahi mahi sandwich that was in no way seasoned and blackened, my husband ordered a burger and it looked like they had steamed it, which I would have told her if she had ever come back. The only time we saw her after getting our food and being rudely treated when asking for water was to get the bill. Then comes even more fun, when I question the 18% service charge I was lied to and told it was a hotel charge, it is not, which I knew having been a server myself. It's her tip for the non-service she gave, and I couldn't even get it taken off to give her the tip she actually deserved. So my advice is to avoid this place. I hate Miami traffic, and that still would have been a more enjoyable experience than going to eat at this establishment. read more

We stopped in at the Tiki Bar off the walking path to grab a drink and get some lunch. We never made it to lunch, as our server and the other 3-4 runners/servers were involved with their conversations and never quite got around to noticing us. The bar sits maybe 12 people and there were never more than 5 of us there. At least we got our initial drinks and they were fine, albeit a bit overpriced, but hey, it's Miami Beach. Sounds like the food could have been OK, but we'll never know.... read more

Meh. Not the best place near the beach but close enough to our hotel to walk in the rain. Food was average at best. Place is dark and underwhelming. Needs a good cleaning & some updates. I don't know why they have that moldy, murky, nasty aquarium in the center of the restaurant. It's absolutely disgusting to look at. This place is the epitome of getting what you pay for. read more

Service here is awful. Not attentive at all. Ordered a Caesar salad to get a mustard based sauce. My Philly came out cold with no cheese on it. Would rate it a 1/10 and that's only because of the Touch Tunes music I played. Did not attempt to take the food off that I took one bite of. Overall this place is a disaster and should be shut down once again. read more

Came for dinner and it was okay. The Cobb salad was good. The service was nice but a little slow. The ambiance was nice, they play afrobeats so that's a bonus lol read more

Cool chill spot. Not pretentious, just a regular neighborhood bar. Refreshing in the fake land of Miami Beach. Bartenders are cool as hell-drinks are well poured and well attended. The beer is ice cold. If you're in South Beach and don't want a club-come here for a fun night of conversation and real people. read more

I personally prefer to ONLY give good reviews, but today sadly is not one of those days. My wife and I went in for a quick bite, early afternoon, and it looked like a decent stop. Generally I imagine it is a good stop. Just not today. We ordered a buffalo chicken salad, and a Beaches burger. The request was for no avocado, but the salad did come with avocado, and parts of it still had the skin on. The burger was ok, but it took 40 minutes. My wife's salad sat there because she wanted to eat at the same time, so all the chicken got cold. We asked the bar tender staff 3 times if the burger was in, and it wasn't until my wife asked at the grill window if they had made a burger that they actually started to make it. If it wasn't for the staff basically nursing a hangover on the other side of the bar, it would probably have been a better experience. But the real clue was that they were over there sharing a meal they ordered IN from somewhere else. And of course, gratuity included, so who cares. read more

DO NOT COME HERE. Was in the area for a meeting at soho house and was looking for something quick and saw they had a bagel and cream cheese on the menu and fresh orange juice. First the service was terrible. Our server was wearing Halloween clothes in April. Weird. Sat down to order. Asked for a bagel and orange fresh orange juice. They say they don't have one. Friend ordered coffee and a bagel. Now they have the fancy levazza coffee machine they give her diner style coffee from a pot sitting there for who knows how long. She drinks her coffee black and said it was horrible. When we asked what flavor bagels they had they say we only have plain. Ok, whatever we still ordered them. Here's the kicker our bagel comes out and it's two store bought mini bagels. I kid you not. The most awful thing I have ever encountered at a restaurant. Mind you we didn't know this was attached to a hotel we just Googled cafe nearby since there wasn't a starbucks around and it popped up. We couldn't get out of there fast enough. $16 for that mess. Never again She ended up getting a coffee at soho house and we were kicking ourselves for not just waiting to order there. We didn't want to be rude and finishing up eating when our meeting was with the property. Do yourself a favor and just walk there and pay to have better food and service and coffee read more

DO NOT EAT HERE. The manager is RUDE. Terrible. AWFUL. Probably a racist. He assumed I came in to finesse him out of free food. When that wasn't the case. They gave me expired bbq sauce and over charged me for a burger. The menu said 15$ they charged me 17$. After all the difficulties and confusion. I asked for my money back. The food came incorrect, the bbq sauce was expired and to top it off, Rodney the Roach came running across the bar when my food came. I'm so disgusted. Like what. The whole resturant is empty, and it's empty for good reason. DO NOT EAT HERE. No telling what else is expired. Then the manger yelling at me like I'm his child. No Sir. Especially when I'm a paying customer. They already took my money. I gave them 40$ the incorrect bill was 21$ and he claims he's gonna fix the bill, but they still have my 40$ that's for sure. Then they taking down the original menu we ordered from because they want to change the prices. So childish. Now he see me typing this review and he's trying to be nice with no apology. Like what...? The waitress brought me my entire 40 back. I'm pretty sure they realized how wrong they were. But I'm still insulted. My money back is the only reason imma change the 1 star to 2. read more

Had a great experience!! It's no 5 star joint- and that is not what I was looking for! Had a great Swiss mushroom burger with a ton of fries! Gratuity is already added, perfect for me... I don't need to do math for tipping! One person working the bar and the tables around the bar. If you're in a hurry, hit up McDonalds. I recommend!! Dee was amazing!! read more

I just arrived at my hotel on Miami Beach for the weekend and went for a late night walk on Collins Ave to find a bar. Two blocks later we found open door to Beaches a Bar and Grille! Open door not only meaning welcome, but also that air conditioner was broken and yes it was hot. Aside from that place was fun and crowd all seemed to be tourist out for drinks, but all having great time. Bartender had great personality and was super friendly. Can't say much about food since it was so late we left that for another time. Four stars! read more

We had to ask for silverware and the table was sticky and had to ask for it to be wiped down. Shrimp po boy still had tails on them and again it was not seasoned. They served soda and a can charged four dollars. If not a single, solitary, person in the bar should've told us to walk away, then me asking the chef what was good and he told me he didn't know should've sent us running. My husband kicked the keg of beer and he got half a glass and they still charged him $8. The keg was not kicked on my beer, and she only poured me about 2/3 of a glass. Worst food I've had in years. Mahi mahi sandwich was not blackened or seasoned. Fries had absolutely no salt. We asked for salt and they brought us packets for takeout. To add insult to injury, She told me if we needed anything else to come up to the bar. We sat around, waiting for the bill, walked up to the bar to pay and we see they added a resort tax, but also gave themselves 15% gratuity. Normally tip a minimum of 25% but it was had to justify even 10% read more

Was very pleasantly surprised. The prior reviews aren't doing this place justice. Is it a basement dive with some questionable dinginess? Yes. Is service a bit slow and were there some interesting patrons? Also yes. But is the beer cold, the food good? Absolutely. My husband and I were both really surprised at the quality of the food. Hand breaded chicken sandwich with crispy fries, amazing jerk chicken egg rolls,, gigantic portions, we had to get a box to take back to our hotel for late night munchies. Don't expect bougie. But it's good. read more

So my father in law found this place online and we thought we'd give it a shot. First off, it's more of a bar than anything else. The nachos were good and the pizza was okay. I liked the street tacos, but my wife and daughter didn't. The biggest problem was the service was terrible. The waitress was nice during our interactions, but took the order, dropped the food off, and we didn't see her again. She was more interested in hanging out with her friends at the bar who spontaneously shouted "shot, shot, shot" like the song at random intervals. Eventually, we gave up on waiting for the bill and one of us went to ask for it. It still took 10 minutes to get the bill. I've noticed that the service at the restaurants in the area tend to be much worse than the standard where I live. We think it's because there is a minimum gratuity that is automatically added to all bills. Therefore, there are two results. 1) Service is bad because there is no incentive to give good service AND 2) although I usually tip 25-30%, more than the norm, I won't tip a penny extra when the gratuity is automatically added to the bill as an automatic tipping policy leads to terrible service. read more

We wanted a simple dinner near our hotel on the first night of our trip. Beaches was close so we gave it a try. There are two portions of the restaurant. There is an outdoor beach bar, and a sit-down bar and restaurant in the hotel building. We ate inside. It was not busy. There was one large table with about 10 people, and maybe two other tables with couples other than ourselves. The waitresses were busting their butts, but something was very, very amiss. It took at least 15-20 minutes for me to get the bottled beer I had ordered. I did not understand why that was so complicated and difficult. You just need to grab a bottle from behind the bar. Our orders were shrimp fajitas and a mahi mahi sandwich. The food was not bad, but not great. I had no complaints about the food, only the amount of time we had to wait, and the chaotic service. Obviously they were very short-staffed in the kitchen. Not the fault of the employees who were working hard, but of management for careless staffing and training. Lastly, it was not a very clean place, with many old exposed pipes, and not in that chic-industrial way you see sometimes. The men's room was disgusting with water from who knows where all over the floor. read more

Walked by thought about stopping in for a cocktail, looks like a total dive bar. Which when that's what your looking for is great. Sits a little below ground. read more

This is a terrible place to go chill. Food is great mind you, Ambience not so much. There's a guy I guess that works there he's always there. He constantly walks around in a bad mood, yelling at the cooks, the Bartenders, the servers and sometimes the guest. He's older, slicked back hair, missing teeth and smells like ointment and farts. Ruins the mood. My friend colorfully refers to him as the "Beaches Gollum". Me and my friends usually go in the afternoon to grab drinks and something to eat I would suggest later at night when he doesn't seem to be there as much. Sucks. The the happy hour is probably the best thing about the experience Excluding the random cockroaches. Jeez. read more

The service, the food, the drinks--the whole package, right here. Bourbon maple blue cheese burger and the mushroom burger were great. Their fries were perfect. And the margaritas were like they had shipped them straight from Mexico--yum! Very worth stopping for a drink and a bite. Very polite and just plain nice servers. This place is a YES! read more

Just had 2 entrees, Mojo Chicken and the mussels. Top notch! Cooked perfectly with excellent spices. Looks and sounds like a bar but the food and service can compare to any upscale restaurant in Miami. Highly recommend. read more

It's unfortunate you have to leave 1 star. This place is absolute trash. I am mindful when writing reviews as I know how it can impact a business, however, this place should be closed. Immediately. PERIOD! We sat for nearly 30 minutes at a table before asking the bartender is we needed to order from her at the bar. She said she would be right over. 20 minutes later, she asked if anyone had helped us yet. So she came over and got our drink and food order. (Mind you, there was a handful of people at the bar and maybe one other table with 2 bartenders working.) We received 2 draft beers, a Pepsi and a water. My beer had rim residue leftover from a previous drink and after looking closer it also had the bloody mary residue inside the glass. My boyfriend took the drink up to the bar where it took a good 15 minutes for her to notice he was standing there. He showed her the issue and begrudgingly was given a new drink. Only to get a dirtier glass. So needless to say, I did not try my luck for a third glass and the bartender never came back to find out the 2nd beer was just as disgusting as the first. At this time we were concerned about the food order and started looking around a bit closer. The table was dirty. We had picked up some sort of BBQ sauce on our clothes when we slid into the booth. The fish tank was severly neglected. A layer of grime and dust was all over everything. Just as we were debating walking out altogether, the order of wings arrived... the wings were on the plate with a terribly unappealing sauce dumped all over the top. They weren't spun in the sauce, just swimming in it. We opted against eating them. Shortly after, the rest of the "food" arrived. Two chicken wraps, one of which was not actually wrapped, just thrown on the plate, a burger and a quesadilla. She never came back to the table, not to deliver the food, and not to check in after the food was delivered. No utensils were offered and the condiments at the table were all expired. We requested our check after flagging her down and never saw her again. At this time we left money on the table and left. Out of all the traveling and restaurants I have been to, this place takes the cake with WORST ever. read more

Service was poor but food is ok. Went the first time and bartender can't ignoring us but finally came over to take our orders. Food took extra long to come. Then went back a second time to give them a second chance but experience was horrible. Sat at the bar for 15 mins and no one acknowledged me. Then what i am thinking is the owner came in with his dog. Brung his dog behind the bar. Yuck! Then tried to get his dog to put his paws on the bar. Then the man without washing his his proceeded to make him a drink without washing his hands. After all that still no one came to take me order. Walked out of that place. Would not recommend this place. Service sucks big time read more

Hotel and pool were nice, beautiful palm trees and right on the beach.. tiki bar takes 1.5 - 24 hours to get your fries, entire restaurant downstairs looks seriously crusty. While there we saw a crackhead zombie dance her way into the bar, prompting the servers (who are also on drugs) to call the cops on her. But I guess miami beach is just weird like that anyway. read more
