    Chicken parm
    Jason K.

    Amazing food. Good service. Fun vibe and atmosphere. This is the new location across the street. Small parking lot that could be an issue if they are swamped. We had a res, and were immediately seated. The server was on Point and made sure everything was perfect. It is a very small, quaint sorta spot. Not exactly romantic, but definitely intimate. The food was all super. Great flavors. Fresh. Tasty. Unique. The drink menu was fun too. A good list, and lots of unique options. I had the Soylent Green which is a play on the Incredible Hulk. Awesome. Great spot! Check em out.

    Date night for us and we decided to get reservations at Blue Collar through Open Table. Service was outstanding. Everyone we encountered was warm and friendly. Loved the low lighting. It was a vibe for sure. Drinks were delicious and strong. Food was well seasoned. Definitely impressed with this intimate location.

    This restaurant is a gem. My Jambalaya had some kicks to it. The Big Ragout was really nice as well. I love on site parking. That saves us a lot of headache. Easy, laidback outdoor bar with quality staff & service. I wish I lived in Miami!

    First time here since they moved across the street. The best burger and fries I've had in years! I love this space. I used to come here a lot and actually looked for Blue Collar for months until I called to make sure they're still open. FYI, the Pulled Pork Benedict is still here. You just have to come on the weekend. Still great food at good prices. Enjoy!

    It's such a cute little spot on the corner. While the parking lot is small we did manage to find a spot . I like how attentive all of the waiters were! The service was really great ! All the portion sizes were good as well

    It's a solid 2.5 stars. I really don't understand the ratings and popularity. Bar food quality meal and subpar service. We came in for a quick bite at 6 pm, ordered a salad and their "best cheesesteak outside Philly". 30 min later, a salad comes out. Our waitress comes out to inform us that "unfortunately we are out of hoagies, therefore you need to order something other than our signature cheesesteak". Understood. I am sitting with my salad, and my partner is waiting for his meal for another 30 min. Any good restaurant will offer something to a person who ended up with no food. My salad was getting soggy, I proceeded to eat it. By the time his burger came out - I was finished. So much for a dinner together. Btw the food was just ok. I don't think it's worth the hype.

    Good food with good portion!

    Everything we ordered hit the spot! Everything was made with love and respect. We will be back!

    Decided to have a night out with a friend and came across this lovely gem. The restaurant had this modern cozy aesthetic to it. We decided to just do appetizers for the night and the waitress was kind enough to guide us through the menu. We ordered a wedge salad, mussels, conch fritters, and buffalo wings. The two stars of the show were the mussels and conch fritters. Both items had so much flavor packed into them. Highly recommend these two items. Although, next time I would ask to hold the pancetta on the mussels. For desserts we did the milk cookies and banana bread pudding. The banana bread pudding was scrumptious and the whipped cream on the side completed the dish. I will definitely be coming back.

    Miami Spice 2025 - depending on how you order, Blue Collar can be one of the best Miami Spice values. Pick any appetizer or salad, main, and dessert for $45. We ordered: shrimp and grits, duck confit, quesadilla, filet mignon, crispy skin, snapper caramel bread, pudding, and Keylime pie. Everything was delicious! I particularly enjoyed my choices. The quesadilla was hot and crispy, with plenty of duck. The crispy skin snapper was super tasty and I loved the texture. You can pick two veggies with the entrees. I loved the braised cabbage. It was sweet and went well with the fish. The crispy brussels sprouts were good, but I have had better brussels. I think the desserts were smaller than the regular portion, but that was fine. Service was friendly and efficient. This was my first time at the new location, which is definitely a step above the original location. Parking is at the side of the building.

    I almost never leave bad reviews but this was probably the worst dining experience I've ever had. We came for my fiancé's birthday and were looking forward to the food, as we came before for brunch and he really enjoyed it. The food was good, but everything else about the experience was extraordinary unpleasant. Our service was nice, but it took 15 minutes to get our orders in. From there it takes an hour for the appetizers to come out, and an hour and a half for the entrees. The restaurant was a little busy, with maybe 6 tables but nothing that would warrant that type of wait. In the 30 minutes between our appetizers and entrees we hear full volume yelling and banging in the kitchen. One of the chefs is having a melt down and saying he's leaving. He proceeds to storm back and forth around our table and through the restaurant yelling. This goes on for 5-10 minutes. No one comes by to reassure us everything is ok, and we question if we are safe sitting at the table. This is Florida, he could have a gun, etc. We are all nervous but decide to stay because we can't find a server to get the bill and leave. Eventually the server comes over and when we ask about what happened she just said su chef got into a fight with the head chef, and acted like it was NBD and has happened before. Totally brushed off the whole thing to us. Didn't offer us a complimentary drink or even apologize for the scare. And we all felt bad for the employees of this restaurant that had to endure this man yelling at them. Eventually the food came out and we all devoured our meals and the desserts because we had been waiting for so long. My food came out room temp but everyone else enjoyed theirs. Overall such a strange and unpleasant dining experience, despite the fact that the food tasted good. I felt bad that this was my fiancés family birthday dinner experience.

    First time here at Blue Collar for their Miami Spice 2024!!! Tbh one of the best deals out of hundreds of places to eat here in Miami right now. Miami Spice Menu - Choose any appetizer, entrée, and dessert for $30 lunch or $45 dinner. We ordered the jalapeño breads which had a bit of a kick and Latkes Royal for appetizers. For entrees we had the chicken cordon blue with pork n beans and sweet plantains. As well as the Grilled Faroe Island Salmon with mashed potatoes and Pork n beans. The salmon had so much flavor with a crispy top. Delicious! The pork n beans give you a punch of different meat flavors from sausages and bacon! Lastly for dessert we order the key lime pie and health bar butterscotch bread pudding both tasted very fresh and homemade so so good. Our server was very sweet and informative and gave us some great tips on what to order. Food came out quickly and the ambiance was very chic. It was a bit small so parking in the back could be limited. I heard they moved from across the street and looks like a bigger location from the older one. Highly recommend to anyone in the area especially now for Miami Spice. ^.^

    Brisket Benedict
    Shir F.

    10 Years Later - Blue Collar is still GREAT! I've been coming to Blue Collar for 10 years now and the food is always GREAT! No complaints! Our server Jon, has been there since we have been going and always takes great care of us too! Food is always spot on, made fresh with quality ingredients, and delicious to boot. No matter what you order from the menu - it will be good - I've never had a bad meal or dish here. One of our favorite dishes for breakfast or brunch is the Brisket Benedict - the combination of the poached eggs and the soft and tender brisket on an English muffin is just perfection - so good. It's served as well with home cooked potatoes that make the perfect side dish as well. We also tried this time the buttermilk pancakes and their French toast and both were fantastic as well. Highly recommend! The absolute STAR of their menu though is their key lime pie - it's the BEST KEY LIME PIE EVER! Not just in Florida but honestly the best key lime pie I've ever had anywhere and that's a huge compliment. I've had family drive all the way from Ft Lauderdale to Blue Collar in Miami for the key lime pie it's that good. You can taste that it's always homemade and made fresh and it's the most perfect balance of tart and sweet - not too sour and not too sweet - which is hard to find with key lime pies they're always too sweet or way too sour. This desert was the first desert that our server Jon recommended to us almost 10 years ago and I can happily say 10 years later it's still our favorite menu item. If you're in the area with great service and great food that is always good and consistent I highly recommend Blue Collar. You won't be disappointed!

    Oxtail

    I think this is the next Miami spice deal that I saw. $45 dinner for your choice of appetizer AND entree!? Also when I stopped by it was HH where 2x1 cocktails were happening as well as other deals on drinks. The mango margarita and side car were delicious. A bit small but still tasty. This wasn't my first time there so I just knew I needed the jalapeño cornbread. I had the griot with mashed potatoes and peas. As a Haitian I know when there's some zoes in the kitchen. The griot was crispy yet still tender. Pikliz was spicy 10/10. I've been to Haitian restaurants who haven't been able to deliver on the flavor profile and having good pikliz. When I ordered I wasn't too thrilled about ordering peas but I was trying to have a balanced meal. The peas did not disappoint! Oxtails were good. Not spicy though. The cookies were small but gooey and warm. The shock for me was the bread pudding, you can't come here and not get it. And the pairing with the whipped cream was unexpected. Our server was fantastic.

The Shakshuka was okay--perfectly edible, but nothing memorable. The Steak & Eggs was pretty much the same: decent, but definitely not worth the premium price. The biggest disappointment was the pancakes. They were dense, had noticeable lumps in the batter, and were nowhere near as light and fluffy as good pancakes should be. The syrup also didn't taste like real maple syrup, which was surprising considering how expensive everything is. Speaking of prices, Café Bastille is seriously overpriced for what it delivers. The restaurant also wasn't cool enough inside--the air conditioning struggled to keep the space comfortable, which made the meal less enjoyable. The one bright spot was the service. Our server was friendly, attentive, and did an excellent job throughout the meal. One more thing that is becoming increasingly frustrating in Miami: the bill already included a mandatory 20% gratuity. While I always tip for good service, automatically adding 20% regardless of the experience feels excessive. This trend is getting out of control and takes away the customer's ability to reward service based on merit. Overall, this feels like a place designed more for tourists than for locals. Nice presentation and good marketing, but the food simply doesn't justify the prices. Unfortunately, I wouldn't come back.

I happened to be in the area so I checked out this place which was pretty cool. They had bar seating, couch seating with tables as well as outdoor seating. A lot of people were there working on their computers while having drinks and pastries. I had a salted caramel latte which I ordered at the computer and was served quickly. I requested it with oat milk, but it was made with whole milk and the barista had no issue remaking it for me, which was nice. The flavor was amazing with just the right amount of salt and caramel; it was not too sweet and it was very smooth. The only issue I had was the parking, there was absolutely no place to park so I had to double park in an alley and run in to get my drink. However, I imagine if you live or work in the area it would be a cute place to pop in and get a beverage. They also had empanadas and some various pound cake slices which people were partaking in so I imagine they were decent.

I hope management addresses these issues, as good customer service and quality food should be a priority.

The hardest part about dining here was deciding what I wanted to order. I could have ordered the entire menu it looked so good! Helpful tip... check out the menu and know what you're going to order before you get in line. Otherwise you're going to be pressured to order at the front of the line. When you walk in, you place your order and pay for it and take a table number. You need to find your own table. Our service was pretty quick, despite how busy the restaurant was. My cold brew was very good and a nice start to the meal. Our guacamole came next and it was nicely styled with pomegranate, cheese and cilantro on top. Yum! The real star of the show for me was this unassuming looking House Club Sandwich that was to die for. Seriously ... it was so good. I ordered mine without the ham, and it was divine! I wish i lived closer. I'm already dreaming of coming back. My son ordered some kind of short rib/beef burrito and it disappeared so quickly I didn't even get to snap a photo.

Online it shows the quesadilla is $13, when I ordered it was $14 + 2.50 for onions and tomatoes (which ended up coming on the side). Also, when I asked to order that, the waitress was a bit rude. So I ended up paying $17.82 for a terrible quesadilla and experience. I really liked the horchata matcha though (hence the 2 stars).
