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.
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 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.
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. ^.^
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!
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.

I saw this on diners, drive in and dives and thought I should check it out. I seriously loved it!! The host Cass was amazing...he was so welcoming. We had a party of 5 so we waited 45 minutes but Cass was very entertaining and nice that the wait time went by fast. We sat down outside and had the most wonderful server...she was very good at recommending food. The Mac and cheese was awesome. The servings are big so I recommend sharing so you have room for the delicious dessert. If you're in town this is a must go and it's worth the wait!! read more

I was super excited about trying the latke from Blue Collar as I'd read an article about it being one of the best in the area. When I got the latke home and opened the box, I noticed it was dark in color and thought to myself, maybe it's just he way they cook it. When I bit into it I realized that it was certainly overcooked, cooked in burnt oil or both. I called back to the restaurant and spoke with the manager who offered no apology and told me that he needed to see what I was talking about and asked me to email him pictures. I immediately emailed the photos and more than an hour later I didn't receive a response. I was headed back to the area anyway so I just left them on the take away table and called inside to speak to the manager. He told me that he received my email and had even shared it with the owner and they both agreed that there was nothing wrong with the latke and they looked perfectly fine and he STILL offered no apology. I informed him that the latke were on the take away table in case he needed to see them in person as my phone may not have done justice for the photo. He just simply said thanks and hung up in my face. I was disappointed with the latke being burnt but the way the manager handled the situation was the worst part about it all. This was the straw that broke the camels back for me. My previous 2 visits at the restaurant were not so great but of course it's a local business, you keep your comments to yourself, especially when matters are handled professionally. I can only wonder what the manager is on if he thinks THIS latke isn't burnt read more
I'm a little late to the party but I'm so glad I came. Blue Collar is attached to a not so great looking motel and parking is limited and seating is limited...but don't let that stop you. The food is fantastic! It truly is a casual place that serves fine food at moderate/reasonable prices. I came straight from the beach yet I did not feel out of place wearing shorts, t-shirt, flip flops and baseball cap. The decor is 70's style and the attention from wait staff was casual, friendly and efficient. I sat outside and had the seared sea scallops with cauliflower, corn, bacon and cream. It was seared perfectly--crusty caramelized goodness on the outside and soft but not rubber on the inside. I also had the crispy B/S chicken breast because it comes with choice of two vegetables and I really wanted to try me sum o dem der delicious vegetables. Uugh huh (said in voice of Billy Bob's character in Sling Blade). They are known for serving great comfort food and wonderful vegetables. They did not disappoint. I had the sweet potato plantain mash and the caramelized Brussels sprouts. Brussels sprouts were good but the mash really wowed as they were sweet but not overly so. They have a good selection of interesting beers, ciders and wines. I tried the JDub's Mango Wheat Ale and an apple/strawberry cider. Both were great. I could not leave without trying the famous bread pudding. I loved the pudding but it had a bit too much heat for my taste. I kept eating more of the whipped cream that it came with to cool the heat but the waiter later told me that all of the heat is from the whipped cream--the chipotle whipped cream! This place is a must try. read more

Tonight's dinner at made the whole entire rest of my day. I arrived when it opened so I had the place to my self for a little awhile. The inside is small but cute with casual decor. The service was excellent. Evan was my server but Adam served us as well. I think he may be a manager. They have a special called the Miami Spice: an app, entree, & dessert for $39. I had the duck confit quesadilla w/ smoked gouda, caramelized onions, & homemade blueberry jam. I didn't realize how much I liked duck until this weekend. It was tender and melt in your mouth good. I love gouda and the only thing better than that is smoked gouda. The homemade jam added just a touch a sweetness. For my entree, I had the big ragout. It's pork & veal shoulder & brisket simmered in San Marzano tomatoes & a few spices for at least 7 hours. The meat sauce is served over pappardelle pasta & topped with cheese. It's such a simple dish but it was so flavorful. My intention was to eat half because it looked like a lot, but I finished the whole entire bowl. Smh. Somehow, I still had room for dessert. I had a sticky bun. The moment I sliced the bun with my fork, I knew it was homemade. The moment I tasted it, I just took a moment to enjoy the warm yummy goodness. It wasn't as heavy as those big sticky buns you get come the mall. It was fork tender and soft, not crunchy at all. Their pastry chef makes them and all their desserts at their other location & they are delivered daily to this location. I'm full now & very happy. read more

Blue Collar never disappoints, dined there multiple times and always get a satisfying and delicious meal. The "dailies" are great and always leave you wanting to try more. Wide multitude of freshly prepared side dishes, which are always pleasing and delicious, and compliment the meals. The brussels sprouts and roasted artichoke hearts immediately come to mind and make me hungry!!! Sunday brunch is apparently amazing and will be the reason for my next return! read more

My husband and I love this place! This is a review of a few trips combined. Do not be thrown off by the crappy motel this restaurant is attached to. It is a small place and we always sit at the counter. On our first trip the chef gave us a complimentary plate of fried green tomatoes. They were delicious and came with a great sauce. We have also had the snapper with fried rice, the fish was nice and crispy and all very well seasoned. Everything is heavy on the salt but I like that, although it may not be for everyone. The big ragout is my favorite. Keep in mind that they only serve the sandwich for lunch. The meat is so tender and you really do taste all of the different kinds of meats that are cooked down for hours in the sandwich. This is all covered in melted cheese and the bread has a great crust so it does not get soggy or fall apart. It comes with fries that are fresh cut potato wedges. The Corbet is also good but salty and the latkas were not mind blowing. They have a ton of sides to choose from, mostly vegetables but also an awesome, creamy Mac n' cheese. Service is good and everyone knows the menu really well. Definitely worth checking it out! read more

My husband and I stopped here while driving through Miami after seeing the very impressive reviews. I will say first impression had us almost turn around. We drove right passed it at first, and after making a loop, were very put off by the area. Was even worse than I imagined after reading reviews. Adjoining motel appears very seedy and parking lot has HUGE holes. I insisted that since we had sat in Miami traffic and driven through the bad part of town, that there was no way we were going somewhere else. Plus it's not like that area is crawling with better looking restaurant options. I'm glad I won that argument. We arrived ~3PM to an empty restaurant. My husband still skeptical, we ordered the mac and cheese and shrimp and grits. Both were delicious - the mac and cheese is something I will be craving for some time to come. Would definitely recommend eating here - the fight was definitely worth it! read more

We saw this place on Diners Drive Ins and Dives, and just had to try it! Man are we glad that we did! The food and customer service were AMAZING! My girlfriend and I have been to Miami two prior times and had plenty of meals down here, but this by far was the best! As a group (we were with another couple) we ordered the Spicy Oxtails, the BigRagout, Grilled Chicken Sandwich, and a few Veggie side orders! Everything was umm umm delicious and had excellent flavor! The Oxtails were cooked to perfection and the Big Ragout was...Just go try it, I promise you won't be disappointed! P.S. Just when we though it could get any better, our waiter "Jersey Matt" brought out the best dessert I've ever had in my 30 yrs on this planet! It was a Butterscotch Heath Bar Bread Pudding! We will definitely try this place again and again and again! Hopefully before we fly out on Sat :) Thanks again Matt and the rest of the Blue Collar team!!! read more

This place is amazing. Very vegetarian friendly the staff was friendly and knowledge they also pointed out items that can be modified to be vegetarian. Cute outdoor seating so you can bring the pup. I ate the chocolate cake for dessert and it was spectacular. The cake is rich and fluffy and a good portion to share. I will definitely be back. read more

I specifically researched some Dives, Diners, and Drive-in spots while visiting Miami. Wanted to eat like a "local" instead of the tourist scene near the beach and I trust Guy Fieri's picks. This spot did NOT disappoint. Stopped in on a early Sunday afternoon, had the shrimp and grits and it was delicious. It's a small interior but there's also some outdoor seating. You can always tell a good spot when seats are consistently being filled and people are willing to wait. Everyone (incl the owner I believe) worked hard to get folks in and out in a timely fashion and were all pretty darn cool. I can tell these ladies and gents work hard and I truly appreciate them more than the chain restaurants. I'll definitely return when I'm back in the area...gotta keep these guys in business! read more
