    This place is average at best. It's convenient to the area but overpriced for the food. You will likely wait a while for a simple breakfast sandwich, which I'm not sure how considering there's a full kitchen in the back. We were the only people here and waited a bit for the sandwiches. FYI it's also only outdoor seating. Kind of disappointed in this place compared to other Chugs. I now understand the other low star reviews.... BUT THE COFFEE IS SO GOOD

    Conveniently located in the heart of the Miami World center. Amazing service and they now serve brunch on Sunday. The guava pancakes are a must.

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!

It was cute inside, it had a very welcoming vibe. I started off with the Mongolian Beef Pastelito. Loved it. It reminded me of a Chinese food Cuban fusion. I would get this again, but I'm really kicking myself for not trying the Guayaba y Queso Pastelito. The Malanga Latkes were AWESOME. It came with a guava apple sauce and a saizon sour cream. These are must get when you visit. Thank me later. The Bao con Croqueta was great. The kimchi slaw paired great with the ham and shrimp croqueta. I also loved that it was in a bao. I'd get this again, but I really want to try the Duck. And you know I had to get the Cast Iron Pancake. It's legit, it's not just a viral menu item. It was soft on the inside and soaked up the syrup, the outside had a nice crust on it. The flaked sea salt was a nice touch. I'm STILL thinking about this pancake and I'm upset that I don't live in Miami because I would have gone back the next day for this. LOVED IT and you will too. I tried my friends breakfast sandwich. I don't remember which one it was, but it was terrific. I had the Short Rib Boliche, which was braised short rib, white rice and an egg. It was great, but honestly, with everything else on the menu I was just whelmed. Next time, and there will be a next time, I'm going for all new dishes because despite leaving there satisfied and full, I have food regret. They have a large menu and I don't think you can go wrong with what you order.

The burrito is a really big size and was super tasty. The lechón was so tasty and the tortilla was perfectly crispy. I would maybe pass on the croquetas. Their sauce was amazing but the croquetas themselves were a bit too mushy. Fries were delish!

Really even so other people in our group got burgers and before me. I waited a little longer and was finally over it. I just wanted my money back. They then brought a burger and it was not even the right burger order. Plus they had not even prepared my wife's chicken wrap yet. The outside seating is nice and food maybe good but the service is horrible. They never apologized for it just kept making excuses.

And speaking just to the vibe of the restaurant, this place is like heaven on earth. The perfect brunch spot. The menu was nice and simple with a number of options that will satisfy anybody. The prices are exorbitant. This was expected so it's not a hindrance to us enjoying the meal. Our precious waitress was appropriately named Precious and she was attentive, sweet, and gave awesome recommendations of what we should order. We were immediately given water and I ordered two drinks, a bloody Mary and an iced latte. Both of these drinks were exceptional. The bloody Mary was very well spiced just the way I like it with a nicely rimmed glass and garnish of celery, olive bacon and shrimp. There are certainly vodka that I like better, but as far as flavor went, this one was unbeatable. My wife ordered an espresso martini which she also enjoyed although I've seen it pictures with coffee beans in it and hers did not have any. I feel an espresso martini loses its authenticity without the coffee beans. My way or the Chia bowl and I ordered the steak and eggs. This is not the steak and eggs that grandma served me. This is a perfectly cooked churasco steak with a couple of medium eggs done just the way I wanted them and some truffle fries and tomato. Timmy truffle fries are good but do not speak breakfast. I would've preferred another potato option. The steak was good but a little tough. The meal tasted good, but I would not say great. My wife ordered a Chia bowl which was a tiny portion, but she did enjoy it. Overall, the meal was good, but it did not nearly approach the perfection that one would expect at this price point. In addition without asking us, they poured two glasses of water and apparently have a charge for water. Whether you drink it or not. I'm not sure that there is any Goodwill in charging two dollars for water when people are enjoying $120 breakfast. I would love to give this place five stars, but I cannot based on the food itself, compared to the high expectation for a very high priced brunch. The four stars are primarily for the wonderful service and the incredibly beautiful vibe. I really like the location and I loved the ambience of the restaurant, but I don't expect that I will be back as the neighborhood is filled with beautiful restaurants to choose from.
