    I'm in LOVE this place is my go-to jerk spot from here on out. Moved from Orlando and as I was it's to Jackson's soul food which was closed I saw the truck smoking the line lengthy and cars busting illegal Uturns so I followed my nose.... turns out my nose and stomach agree upon each other. Cust service was impeccably Caribbean and sweet thanks guys for your service and puttin ya foot in it I featured you all on my iG @juice_y3ll0wdiam0nd I approve this message jerk chicken and Mac-N-cheese on POINT

    Service was so friendly! However, my tastebuds were not fulfilled. The meat was dry and the jerk sauce was just okay. I really wish that the seasoning was more explosive.

    All that for $7 bii.. That's a "small" jerk chicken

    Huge plates for even their smalls.. A jerk chicken w rice and peas and a corn on the cob for only $7.. Never had a bad meal here. Jerk Pork is amazing, jerk chicken amazing.. Make sure to ask em to throw some sauce all around it if you like it real spicy. They make it in a PIT (the way you're supposed to lol)..All I gotta say is this is some of the best jerk chicken I've had in my life, and they hook it up. This place'll be real famous in like 3-6 months tops, mark my words bii

    The best bbq truck so far!!

    It's at a gas station so parking is crappy. Great taste, the jerk chicken is the best. Must get the Mac n cheese. I don't know if others will b this good. Great portions. The workers are friendly. I'm definitely a loyal customer from now on. It's worth every penny.

    Pinch Kitchen & Bar is one of those spots that deserves a review, It's a true neighborhood staple…read morein El Portal and honestly, Miami doesn't have enough places like this anymore. You walk in and immediately feel that local, unpretentious energy that's been missing from a lot of the scene. Do I love that it's on Biscayne? Not really. But the food more than makes up for it. For a bar-style environment, the food is consistently very good. Not just "good for a bar" ... like its actually good. The burger is a must (im pescatarian but my friend said it was delicious!) and their Eggs Benedict at brunch is easily one of my favorites in the area. Pair it with a Bloody Mary and you're set. their happy hour pricing is refreshingly reasonable, which is rare around here. I was talking to one of the bartenders and found out even their bread is made in-house. That kind of consistency and care, especially at these price points, is not easy to maintain and you can feel it in the food. It seems that their leadership (owner or manager, not totally sure) has always been present when I've gone and brings a great energy to the space. It trickles down to the staff and the overall vibe. You feel welcomed!!! I this is the kind of place that deserves real support. It's local, it's consistent, it's affordable, and it actually feels like a community spot -- something Miami desperately needs more of.

While driving along Biscayne Boulevard, I searched Apple Maps for nearby brunch options, and Pinch Kitchen appeared just two blocks ahead of us. We were greeted with a big smile and warm welcome by Jonathan who also happened to be our server. The restaurant is small and quaint but the staff is very friendly and attentive. We started with the Focaccia Bread which was really delicious and I was told that it was made in-house so a big thumbs up to freshly baked bread of any kind! The drinks were really good too, I enjoyed an Espresso Martini which was yummy. For my meal I tried the Pasta Pomodoro, which was perfectly al dente and again, SUPER Delicious. My husband had the Pinch Burger and requested it Medium Rare. It was cooked to perfection. Sadly, we were much too full to try any desserts. Next time I'll start with dessert and work my meal backwards! LOL

    Out on another adventure with my favorite girl, we headed to Tap 42 Craft Kitchen & Bar after a…read morelong day of shopping and a 3-hour movie at the mall. By the time we arrived, we were absolutely starving. Since it was Saturday night, every restaurant had a wait list, but we decided to stick it out. The restaurant offers both indoor and outdoor seating and is located on the second floor near the large slide area. While waiting for our table, we found a nice outdoor seating area to relax. Once seated, we were happy to have a quieter outdoor table with a view of the slide since the inside was extremely loud and busy. Cue hungry people making questionable food decisions. We started with the chicken wings as an appetizer while desperately waiting to place our dinner order. Our server seemed very overwhelmed by the Saturday night rush, and another staff member actually brought over our appetizer before we were finally able to place our order. I ordered the cheeseburger with truffle fries, and my daughter ordered her usual favorite, chicken fingers. Unfortunately, after nearly 30 minutes, our server returned with the check before we had even received our food. Once we explained, he was very apologetic and assured us the order would be right out. Thankfully, my burger was absolutely worth the wait. It was one of the best burgers I have had in a long time: juicy, flavorful, and more than filling enough on its own. Honestly, the truffle fries were unnecessary because the burger completely stole the show. I only managed to eat half. My daughter thought her meal was just okay. Service throughout the evening was slow, but it was clear the staff was doing their best during a very busy night. Between the wait for a table and the delays with food and the check, dinner ended up taking almost 3 hours total. Overall, the food, especially the burger, would definitely bring me back. Next time though, I would probably avoid Saturday night.

There is a parking lot in the back but looks limited.
