Rosie is an awesome waitress she has a lot of charm and very attentive. The staff is very nice and welcoming to the diner. I had a 2 eggs (white) and 3 croquetas. Thank you for helping me start my Sunday on the right foot! read more

Having found myself completely abandoned, there was really only one thing for me to do. You guessed it, I crawled out of bed and headed on down the road in search of some breakfast! I was in search of some pancakes, why pancakes specifically? I don't know, but I really wanted them when my little peepers popped open waaayyyy too early in the morning at 5:50am on a Sunday. So, after debating with myself for two hours and failing to acquire another breakfast going fiend, this little lassie moseyed out anyway to satisfy her craving of those fluffy circular cakes. This place definitely has a diner vibe to it, booths with checkered table clothes, what seemed like regular patrons sipping their morning coffee while reading the paper and some interesting wall pictures that strangely never seemed to have made it out of their protective packaging. Not a flaw by a long shot, but it certainly made me ponder about it for waaaayy too long then I needed to. Getting there at 9, it wasn't too full and I was soon seated, that much closer to getting those pancakes! What I didn't care for though once I was seated, was that several waitress's seemed surprised that I was eating by myself and kept feeling the need to ask me. Maybe that's not a regular thing or something - I am a bit clueless when it comes to most things anyway so perhaps that was the case. :/ Either way, thanks for reminding me, I was a bit oblivious to it on the actual drive over. Makes me wonder just who it was I was talking too.... huh... Letting the interrogation go, I flipped through the menu and there I found those glorious pancakes. And better yet, they had blueberry pancakes!!! Can you say yummy?! Mmmmmm..... Blueberry!!! =D That's where interesting conversation #2 came in. I ordered my pancakes, some corn beef hash and at first I wanted a muffin but there were no more muffins cause the muffin thief stole them all so I settled for an english muffin! For whatever reason, I was subtly trying to be talked out of getting pancakes. With every item that I asked for, it came with a surprised expression followed by, "How about eggs? Maybe you want...."...."No, I don't want eggs.".... That came with a subtle sigh followed by a tiny shake of the head with a, "I'm trying to make this easy." Not sure what that was supposed to mean exactly, but my order really wasn't that complicated. Be careful asking for two pancakes though, that'll get you another surprised look. Sorry, but yes, it may not seem so, but I am a fat a** and I do like to eat. When my food finally arrived, it was about what I expected. The pancakes were indeed good-very blueberryish- the english muffin could have been toasted a bit more but still had somewhat of a crunch to it and the corn beef hash was corn beef hashy. At least everything was still warm when it got to the table and that's a huge plus in and of itself. A decent breakfast for a few buckaroos that was budget friendly. Their parking lot is not too big, a few spaces right in front and a smaller lot just a few feet west but it doesn't seem like parking would be a big issue here. I had no problem slipping into a spot and the lot was still pretty empty when I was leaving. read more

Ducked in to meet local PR legends David and Chris Pearson and have a bite and it was a fine time, here's why: * Never been here and its been here since the 70's * Greasy spoon type of comfort food * Stuck in time * Good value * Shrine to the Miami Dolphins-decor Rosey was our server and she made the visit extra special. Meow. I enjoyed Pork Chops and eggs and it was fabulous for under $9. Well salted, though. #Nom Cabeza OUT! read more

No frills, whatsoever. I was surprised to see there was no espresso being served here with the largely Hispanic demographics that inhabit the nearby area. It's resembles something that belongs in the Keys or Central Florida with its mostly American menu. The food tasted alright but there was so pizzaz to it. Often times, we have this idea of this hearty breakfast and I can't say I was thrilled at the appearance or the quality of the food. The parking is tricky due to the weird corner they are located on. If you're in the mood for some southern diner food and don't rely on espresso, this might be your spot. The corned Hash is good but the consistency could use some improvement. read more

they need make this place look a tad bit more clean. Food is actually really good!!!! Everything around is just really old and kinda nasty looking. read more

Very cute diner, family friendly, the food was great and filling. We came on a Sunday at 12pm and there was no wait - awesome . The only complaint would be the service was a little slow but the food was worth the wait. read more

Great food, great service, great people. Chuck Wagon, located on Bird Road just after SW 72nd Ave in the Westchester/Glenvar Heights area of Miami, sets the standard for hearty, rib-sticking American diner food in Miami. Although the outside looks a bit dingy and dated, the food inside is phenomenal. The inside dining area could use an upgrade and the entire restaurant smelled like burned toast and burned eggs the entire duration of my visit, but other than that, the place was clean and well-organized. I went myself on a Monday morning around 9:00am and got a table right away. Within 2 minutes, my waitress was there taking my drink and food order. The waitress was very pleasant and sweet (kept calling me "darling"). Not only was she attentive, but she kept checking on me and making sure everything was delicious and up to par. From walking in the door to walking out, I was only there for 25 minutes; they serve you fast and get you moving on with your day. Definitely earned an A+ in the service department in my book. In terms of the food, the coffee was piping hot and fresh. I've never had diner coffee that wasn't at least somewhat burnt-tasting until Chuck Wagon. I ordered the Chuck Wagon Grand Slam which consists of 2 large eggs, biscuits and gravy, home fries, and bacon. I had my food within 15 minutes of sitting down. Everything was steaming hot that I almost burnt my mouth on the eggs, that's how fresh-off-the-grill they were. They give you large portions of everything. The bacon was a little overcooked, but bacon is bacon, right? Home fries were some of the best I've had south of Virginia and the biscuits and sausage gravy could challenge the best home cooking of the Deep South. And all of this food for only $7.95? It's a great bargain! Overall, the Chuck Wagon is a convenient and fast location for some hearty diner food before you jump on the Palmetto or head into the city. I am so full I don't think I'll need to eat lunch today. Will definitely return and highly recommend to others. read more

Chuck Wagon Restaurant - The Chuck Wagon Grand Slam, $7.95 - Sandwiches Near Me - Miami, Florida

This is a fun little place. Drove by it numerous times before I ventured in. The placed was packed when I went in. The service was very friendly. The coffee cup stayed full. Always a good sign of the service. The food was good, diner fare. I ordered the skillet plate. It came with home fries on the bottom, lots of shredded cheddar in the middle and two scrambled eggs on top. Got 2 slices of rye bread on the side. It was all very tasty. Nothing fancy or high falutin. Just good grub. Will be back. read more

I don't usually start a review with the service, but in this case I have to. It was beyond stellar. Seriously. There was not a moment when I had to wait for the server. They (3) were always there. Incredible. Ok, for the food: not too bad. My eggs were cooked exactly right. The home fries were a teensy bland but nothing that some hot sauce couldn't fix. The coffee was good (always very important!), the bacon was ok. The grits were just right. The ambience? It was nothing like what i expected. It was Warm and cozy. I was transported to a little diner in south carolina where the smells of good home cooking permeate the walls in a good way. Do I recommend it? A big yes. read more

This place is quite interesting. It even has wi-fi (yes, you have to ask for the password, but that's ok). Interior has seen its better days but the place was clean. The service was good. Coffee was hot and the food was good. A bit pricey for what it was though. Parking can be an issue because the place does fill up since it's only open for breakfast and lunch. read more

I love Chuck Wagon. I go to this one quite regularly and have never had a bad meal or a bad server. I've tried many of their breakfast items: the Special, the Grand Slam, the Waffle combo, the Eggs Benny, etc. I usually drink either coffee or orange juice and it's always so yummy. My absolute favorite item is the biscuits and gravy. They are absolutely delicious and I even converted the boyfriend to them. Now, he eats them every single time we visit. The waitstaff is fantastic. They really are. They're friendly and prompt. Prices are completely fair. This past weekend, the boyfriend had the Grand Slam and I had the Special with a side of gravy. He had coffee, I had OJ. It came to $20 and I left a $4 tip. If you want a really delicious and super filling breakfast, this is the place to go. read more

Are you kidding me? 4 star average?! To be honest, this may be an adventure in fine dining for some reviewers, but this is the sort of place that gives greasy spoons a bad name. I'm giving 2 stars as a generous gesture. The place is sticky from the floors, to the table cloths, to the grimy bathroom doors. Goodness sakes, at least paint and clean the place. I appreciate a patina on antiques, but prefer my restaurants to have surfaces that can at least be cleaned. Me to server, "Is the corned beef hash canned or homemade?" server [rolling eyes] "canned, but nobody ever complains." I figured I'd let her continue to live in a dream world and do my complaining on here. Hormel or generic canned corned beef it was nasty. Eggs tasted a bit "off" biscuits were just ok as was gravy. I can't emphasize how low on the diner pecking order I would put this place. Service wasn't terrible. I'll never come back here though. $15.00 for 2 eggs, barely warm chunked potatoes, canned hashed Browns, coffee biscuits (out of a bag from somewhere) and gravy. Ugh! read more

Delicious mom & pop diner in westchester. This place is incredible if you're looking for a good breakfast spot. Their corned beef hash and biscuits with white gravy are incredible! They have breakfast sandwiches and personalized omelettes that are to die for as well. I have been coming here for years and probably will continue to forever. Very cozy feeling and the prices are reasonable! read more

4/5: Walking into Chuck Wagon, it was a complete change of scenery. It is an old western themed diner with various Miami décor around the restaurant. It felt like the adaptation of old America with a contemporary metropolitan city like Miami. We were greeted with friendly waitresses that seated us. It was somewhat busy, but you can definitely feel the diner vibe from the way everyone interacted with each other. Parking can be a bit tricky, because it is located in an unusual location. Please be careful! I ordered the French Toast Slam and my friend ordered the Chuck Wagon Grand Slam to share the different items on the menu. I had my eggs over easy with bacon. The eggs was well done from the slightly rubbery texture of the egg white to the runny egg yolk. It reminded me of a sauce that is so decadent that you want to pick up some bread to sop up it all up. The bacon was good, but not great. I prefer my bacon super crispy, and this one was half crispy and half chewy (which some people like). Although the doneness was not what I wanted, the smokiness and salt came through to provide the umami and depth to solidify your morning cravings. Tip: order the home fries with onions all together. The combo of well-done home fries and raw onions reflected the interplay between starchy, crispy potatoes with the acidity and crunch of the onions to provide a balance to the dish. It is definitely worth trying considering the little pieces of onions also provides a pleasant acidic touch to cut through the heavy breakfast and provide your palate a break. We also had the biscuits and gravy, the classic. The gravy's consistency was thick, but coated the biscuit just enough to not slide off. The biscuit was an effective vehicle for not only the gravy, but the runny eggs and piled high with the onions/home fries combo. My complaints were that the French toast was underwhelming for me. It appeared small compared to what I have seen on yelp, but it tasted just like any other French toast paired with a syrup that reminded me of Aunt Jemima's. Our other friend ordered two different pancakes, pecan and blueberry. The fillings were in the middle of the pancake, and it was difficulty maintaining the equal proportions for each bite, making it hard to enjoy the pancakes. read more

Had a late breakfast at Chuck Wagon Restaurant on Saturday afternoon. Shared the Biscuits & Gravy, French Toast Slam with Sausage, and a side of Corned Beef Hash. Quality When visiting a no frills diner my expectation is that my meal probably will not look pretty, but the taste can make up for it. Unfortunately that was not my experience with Chuck Wagon, as the food tasted too much like it looked. The Biscuits & Gravy was probably the item I was most excited for, but I would not want to order it again. The gravy was pretty bland and not nearly as hot as it should have been. I also did not really like the biscuits that were buried underneath that were too hard. For something as heavy as gravy, it just did not leave me satisfied like it should have. The French Toast Slam came with two eggs, three pieces of linked sausage, and four half slices of french toast. I definitely prefer a thick slice of french toast, so I was very disappointed to see pieces smaller than a slice of bread. They just did not soak up the butter and syrup as they should have. The eggs were fine, but I also did not think the sausages were of a quality where they should be served. The Corned Beef Hash was fine, far from great, but the best item we ordered. Quantity In terms of size the only thing that failed to live up to expectation were the slices of french toast. However, even though they were small, the other items in the slam still left you with more than enough to eat. Value Price is not something that you are going to have an issue with at Chuck Wagon. Everything is very cheap, as you would expect for breakfast at a diner. Ambiance Chuck Wagon is a western themed diner located off Bird Road near Tropical Park. It is directly off the road and the restaurant is pretty large. The diner definitely shows its age from its ratty table clothes to its run down cups, but they embrace it. it is the kind of place that believes they have been doing it right for years and they would never change. And this may be true as the crowd seemed fiercely loyal. The decor of the place seemed to be a mix of western themed objects and old Miami sports memorabilia. The menu is brightly colored with different food pictures spread throughout. They did not have music on in the background while we were there, but it feels like a place where a classic rock radio station should be on. Crowd There were a good number of people at the restaurant and every single person seemed to be a regular. Before leaving many of the patrons walked over to the kitchen area to say goodbye to the staff in the back. The crowd was a lot of older individuals and it seems like people who have been eating at Chuck Wagon for years and have come to love everything on the menu. Service The staff is very chatty, which means friendly folks, but it also means that things move a bit slower. This is not a real problem though for a late breakfast on the weekend. Parking Chuck Wagon is located right on Bird Road and the parking spaces in front of the restaurant are directly off the road. Getting into the spots are pretty easy, but backing out and onto the busy road is nerve-wracking. Extra When it comes to places like Chuck Wagon, where little care seems placed on the aesthetic, it falls to the food to win over the crowd. And maybe the food is exactly what the loyal base loves, but nothing I ate impressed me. I love a good old-fashioned diner, but the food needs to be special and that was not the case with Chuck Wagon. read more

Chuck wagon never disappoints for breakfast! Service is great and friendly + amazing tasting food!

Horrible Experience. I do not recomend this place. My first time in this restaurant, I went to eat breakfast for Valentine's Day. I was waiting to take good experience in a restaurant, a friend recommended. Once waiter approached to me, she was hurry talking to me, she brought the coffee and I asked her to help me and pick my best breakfast option. She said , if you are taking an order and is going to take more than ten minutes, the menu is in your hand, and I do not have time to talk to you..WTF. She was disgusting, I was very upset immediately I answered, I am not going to eat breakfast in this place , do not order for me anything. I had Horrible experience. Please manager, teach your waiter to respect your customers. read more

Ok so let's be real we did walk in 13 minutes before they closed but like we ordered right away (because we knew what we wanted) we ate fast and even helped clean up the table with the waitress to make it all faster. Meanwhile the rudest waitress I've ever met in back of me standing there (like right there )saying "I could've been home by now" "why do people walk-in 15 minuets before we close" like excuse you I'm sorry your miserable and hate your job but that's no excuse to make paying customers hate your job too! The food was exquisite the waitress was super nice and so was the manager also everything was delicious but as soon as we left that miserable lady left too so I don't know what her dilemma was all I can say is she was super rude ,ghetto & low class read more

One MAIN thing parking can be a real pain in the ass. However, if you get to find a spot go on and check this place out. It's a good American breakfast spot. Their portions are pretty big. You sometimes have the luck of the draw and get a super friendly waitress. Other times not so much. That's the only downside here. Luckily, at this visit I had a young girl who was very pleasant and gave great suggestions for my little one. She even had them make him a Mickey pancake. read more

We just ordered breakfast towards the end of the mor ing shift, the food took forever to come out. People who came in after us were served before we did.

We're going back to skipping First Period English in High School here... If you're looking for Real Maple Syrup and Organic Greek Yogurt, boy are you in the wrong place. Chuck Wagon is the original Neighborhood Joint. It's in a Strip Mall. (An iconic one at that, one of the oldest along South Dixie Highway.) The butter is (often) margarine, the syrup is "Pancake Syrup" and the toast is White. (Okay, there are other options but still...) In short: It's a Diner. French Toast? Yup. Grits? You Bet. With Processed Cheese half-melted on top? Ohhh yeah. Skillet potatoes? Yes Again. Pancakes. Coffee. Bacon. Waitresses who have been there for decades. Aerial Photos of Old Miami and Old South Dade on the walls? But of course. Cozy wooden booths. And most of all: Memories. Lots of them. From decades of early (late) school mornings and early (late) weekend breakfasts. read more

We had a long day/night at the Miami airport due to a cancelled flight and needed to find a place for breakfast before we rented a car to drive home. We arrived before they officially opened and they graciously welcomed us in and got us a hot cup of coffee to start our morning. Our meals were delicious...pancakes, French toast, eggs and bacon. All cooked to perfection! Our waitress was the most pleasant and kind woman. I would highly recommend this restaurant! read more

I had only been to Chuck Wagon once when I was very little and never really thought much about going again. After reading some reviews on Yelp and making a breakfast date with le boyfriend, we decided to give it another try. The minute we walked in we were immediately greeted and attended to. I ordered myself a coffee and my boyfriend ordered an iced tea - both coming out immediately. Our waitress came over soon after and asked if we were ready to order, which we weren't because everything sounded so good we couldn't make up our minds. We took a few more minutes and because my boyfriend and I are oh so original, we both ordered the Chuck Wagon Grand Slam - best decision I've EVER made. It comes with eggs (I got mine scrambled), bacon or sausage (bacon for me), grits or potatoes (potatoes, please) and biscuits with gravy. It was a hearty portion and everything was made exactly how I like it. The eggs were perfectly scrambled - not too runny, not too hard. The bacon was crisp but not burnt. Oh, and those potatoes. I will forever have pleasant dreams about them. I don't even know how to describe them, because I will never do their deliciousness any justice. All of this for less than $7. Our food took a normal amount of time to come out (I mean, neither my boyfriend or I thought much about it), but our waitress came over once or twice and was so apologetic about our food taking longer than expected because they got slammed with a big take out order. She was incredibly sweet and attentive about something that wasn't even that big of a deal. Now, THAT'S good service. After that meal I thought I was having a food baby, I swear. The atmosphere was very old school diner-esque. It felt like a rest stop more than an actual restaurant in Miami. I can't wait to go back - what an awesome way to start your day. read more

The staff was super friendly. The food wasn't great though. I tried the bacon, eggs, and pancakes. Neither was anything to write home about. Probably won't be back. read more

Gotta love this place. Came here with the fam before an all day outing and wanted to get some yummy grub in the tum close by. I hadn't been to Chuck Wagon in years but the other alternative was Denny's, so you know that wasn't happening. We were a group of 10 and were accommodated quickly on a Sat at 11:30. Our server was great, was quick with our order AND got everything right. Cudos to her. I had my hand in several plates and everything ordered was pretty damn good. I had the waffle which was very yummy, biscuits were good, pancakes were good, sausage and bacon good to go, and the coffee kept coming which was great. :) Nice experience for some yummy breakfast at this little classic. read more

I really enjoyed my breakfast here. If your up for a real Southern breakfast made with quality ingredients and served with down home local flare, check this place out! The service was excellent and the food came quickly. I had the chuck wagon slam with grits and biscuits and it was truly divine. The coffee is very good too. This place is definitely a much better choice than any of the chain restaurants on the street. Come in and feel and taste the realness! read more

I was in the neighborhood and decided to stop in and try Chuck Wagon out for breakfast. It was Monday morning so there were plenty of open tables. Our server Rosie was so sweet and very personable. She even took the time to butter our biscuits. So good! We had the two eggs and bacon breakfast with home fries or grits and toast or biscuits for under $8. Tastes like an old fashioned homemade breakfast. The prices are very reasonable and within budget, the portions are generous and the service is fast without sacrificing quality. I will surely be coming back to try out their other menu items. read more

I found this from yelp, not too far away from our airport hotel. The place is not so fancy, the staff are friendly, I ordered a spinach omelette, with biscuit. Everything is good, and a solid 4. My husband obviously is very happy with his omelette and say he wants to come back.. read more

Service, service, service! We all know that's something lacking in Miami- but this place has got it! Everyone is VERY friendly and attentive. My coffee cup was always filled- which made me a happy girl :) The food and portions are good- on the "home-style" tip. The prices I found to be a little high for the kind of food it is- but defiantly not terrible. Environment wise- you kind of feel like you're not in Miami in there but you are- it's a nice juxtaposition.... If you are looking for a place to have breakfast in this neighborhood, instead of going to I-Hop across the street you should come here. Support your local "Mom & Pop" establishments! read more

It's been a long time since I've been to this eatery. Let me just begin and say that this is also the last time I come to this location. What a disappointment. I ordered the French Toast Slam and I wanted to slam it on the floor. Along with my order, I had two over medium eggs, bacon and sausage patties with café con leche. My husband ordered the Chuck Wagon Special with an extra side of bacon and to drink a Snapple Apple. The French toast was so raw on the inside that I could taste strains of salmonella, the sausage patties had no flavor along with the "maple" syrup. I'm almost certain the maple syrup is corn syrup with no flavoring and color additives. Aunt Jemima has better maple syrup than these folks, and that stuff is utter crap. My café con leche, which took 20 minutes to be brought out to me, was lacking café and I'm pretty sure it's because the waitress felt the need to not add any in my warm milk beverage due to the fact that I'm currently pregnant. Thanks for making decisions for me, lady! So kind of you. My husbands meal was also lacking in flavor. The chef must be allergic to spices. My husband did say that the toast and his Snapple Apple were pretty tasty. So not all was a total fail. This place needs a manager also. The waitress were hanging out and talking about winning the lottery and their children's achievements. I've been to some crappy waffle houses and they were better than this place. There is always some thing to do. Don't just stand around gossiping. Now I have to find a French Toast that will quell this craving or I'm going to go insane. read more

If you're expecting something fancy don't. The name says it all. Short of your grandma getting up to make a sunday breakfast you cannot get a closer feeling of a home cooked meal.

This is a staple diner located in Westchester. It has been around for quite a long time and when you step inside it is like traveling back in time. I see some people complaining about it here in the comments but I find it charming. The menu consists of hearty American breakfast options. I suggest the chocolate chip pancakes, the pecan pancakes, and the Belgian waffle for my sweet toothers. They taste delicious and homemade, unlike these chain restaurant places. The eggs and toast are always perfect. The location doesn't have a huge parking lot but I have never had an issue with parking. The waiters/waitresses are all super friendly. There's is ample space to sit here but on the weekend you might have to wait to be seated. read more
