Delicious and affordable soul food in a cozy environment! They were crowded the whole time when we came in near closing. They still seated and served us quickly and our server, despite working insanely hard, was super sweet. The food is well priced and delicious. The menu has an overwhelming amount of breakfast and lunch classics. We ordered items like biscuits, grits, and chicken tenders and enjoyed all of them, leaving full and satisfied. I live in Brickell and so prefer this over our overrated dining scene. Come support actual local businesses! read more

Pastime Restaurant - Breakfast items - Soul Food Near Me - Miami, Florida

Pastime is a hidden gem in Miami. Soul food, and good soul food is hard to find in downtown and Brickell. But Brownsville knows where it's at. Pastime is doing the classics and doing them right. The people who work here are superhero's pumping out good breakfast and brunch for the tons of people who walk in and carry out their food. The place is decorated like an old classic diner and it has a very cozy feeling to it. I definitely recommend anyone who wants good soul food to come to Pastime Restaurant! read more

My goodness this was delicious. Found it off of TikTok after looking for something to eat for my family of 4. Drive there from North beach and it did not disappoint! I didn't even get a chance to take pics because the kids smashed it. That catfish was chefs kiss! French toast, pancakes and waffles were all on point! We are thinking about going back tonight to try the dinner. I'll come back every time I come down. Showing live from Atlanta!!!! read more

I've ordered uber to go breakfast from this restaurant and it's pretty decent. Always arrives fresh and hot If I could just tweak one thing it would be to season the fish. The fried fish breakfast does not come with a lick of seasoning However still pretty good once you season it yourself lol read more

I understand the morning rush can be overwhelming however I did not feel welcomed. I got multiple eye rolls and when asking simple questions I got an attitude in response. The food is alright and I at one point would recommend this place, however after today I will not. read more

The food is great, no complaints on it at all. But the employees lack customer service. No one says Good morning.. when I was given back my change and given my order, I said Thank you both times, and not one word back. When you place an order for pick up and arrive, no one acknowledge you standing there. This guy was waiting to place an order, when the employee walked over, she said "how can I help you", so the guys started giving his order and she said "Wait, I'm not speaking with you yet", she was taking a phone order but the phone was not to her ear but on speaker and sitting on the counter, so I assumed she was speaking to the guy in front of her also. Unfortunately, I would go back, I just have to go with the mindset, that I'm there for the food and not the service. read more

Such a neighborhood gem! Formally known as MLK restaurant (now at a new location), Pastime serves great breakfast. We tried: Steak, eggs & Waffles Georgia sausage, eggs & French toast In the past I have tried: Chicken and waffles Lemonade On this particular day, they didn't have lemonade which was actually pretty sad. They have the best lemonade I have ever tasted lol true, authentic, "black lemonade." The waffles were perfectly soft with a nice sprinkle of powdered sugar. My favorite thing about this restaurant are the prices and location. It's conveniently located and promises a great breakfast for any budget. I will definitely return. read more

I ordered my boyfriend and I food soon I got back home we both looked at the plates then looked at each other so hurt after I spent over $30 for some food . The food wasn't enough to get a kid full . I was too pissed that was my first and last time there. read more

food is amazing it's a nice little spot with good music only problem is they always allow themselves to get overrun with orders and when they get too busy they don't want your money anymore they stop picking up the phone so you end up waiting for over an hour for food. efficiency is holding this place back . food is good enough to support a bigger location and more then 1 person taking orders. it's not her fault what are they doing with the money? read more

The food was garbage the porkchop was very old and dark, you guys charge to much for a nasty, thin end cut porkchop. The home fries was dry and not season, I would never again. I need a refund. read more

Food amazing eat here every time I'm on break working my over nights but late night probably not the best time to if you expecting them to have great attitudes but the food makes up for it read more

If you all are familiar with MLK, this restaurant is located where MLK used to be located. From what I gathered, MLK owners weren't doing what they were supposed to and the owners of the building took it back. Or something along those lines. Food wise the food seems to be the same. I had the fried Tilapia breakfast which included grits and eggs. My son had pancakes with bacon and eggs and our other guest had the same. They both enjoyed their breakfast. Our other guest said the pancakes were ok. I thoroughly enjoyed my fish. I forgot to tell them to fry it hard but it was still good and flavorful. Didn't taste bland at all. One thing I noticed is that toast isn't included with the breakfasts, which I like. Idk if you have to ask for it specifically or if it comes with certain breakfasts. Customer service was great. That is one change that I can certainly appreciate from the previous owners. Service was quick as well. Overall we enjoyed our breakfast and would certainly come back. read more

The food is really good,if you're looking for a good soul food breakfast,try this place out

Pleasantly surprised! Walked in on my way to the MLK building because I hadn't had breakfast yet, and it's the only place serving breakfast in walking distance. Open at 6am and they have a wide variety of seafood breakfast. I had the special Zesty beef sandwich. Portion was good! The sandwich was overflowing with beef. I feel like I got my money's worth. The onions and bell peppers were cooked to perfection. My only gripe about the sandwich is that it was overflowing with A1 steak sauce. Maybe if it only had a little bit, it would be perfect. The fries were battered lightly and fried perfectly! I could see them putting cajun seasoning on them and being one of the better fry joints out there. Nice homey atmosphere and very welcoming staff. Music is a little loud for my personal taste but that's just me being picky. read more

This place has been here for years and years. The servers are usually friendly and I leave satisfied whether taking orders to go or dining in . There was only one instance where there were egg shells in my fried eggs. I'm sure if I didn't order to go I would've been able to return it with no problem. However, I live about 30 minutes away. It is worth the drive . It reminds me of my child hood meals. I would say be really specific when you order so it can come out just the way you like it !! read more

I am very impressed by the service and the food. Both of good quality and the wait time is little to none. This salmon croquett breakfast is to die for. Great Job!! Keep it up!!! read more

My partner is from Miami and knows all the little or big spots. I don't know how long they been around but seems like for a very long time. It is not in the best location, however if you live nearby just check it out. The food reminds you of a homecook meal. We dined in and I had the beef sausage, which was a huge portion size comes with grits and eggs. Yummy!! The staff works on a self of urgency, while keeping their cool. Definitely gonna tell my partner to bring me a plate next time he swings by! read more

I came here for breakfast around 9am it was pretty packed! A local recommended to me and I'm always excited to support black owned business but the waitresses weren't ass accommodating as I would've expected. The place was JAM PACKED with older black gentlemen only. I was like literally the only girl customer in there and you'd think the girls would've been a little nicer or prompt with my order request for all drums and extra well done waffle... tuh. Oh well; it got the job done none the less... read more

Pastime Restaurant - Chicken and waffles and two cups of orange juice because the girl brought me a bottle instead of pouring some from a carton... lol - Soul Food Near Me - Miami, Florida

Great customer service, food is great. I love everything about the restaurant and very clean

The food is good always. It's just a long wait time. I love the atmosphere, they play the best music

I loved the liver. The grits were salty. The cook came out tasted the grits off off my plate and said to the waitress, "they said the grits are salty but there are not". She offered to take the grits back I told her don't worry about, but she insisted. The cook scraped the grits off my plate at the table into a bowl of grits she brought out. She left the liver on the table. The waitress came back and got the liver, which Iwas already eating. I told the waitress that I ordered smothered liver, fried eggs, and cheddar cheese on my grits. The waitress returned with the liver and grits, they were still salty. I asked for the check. When the waitress returned I informed her that the grits were still salty and I didn't eat them. The cook again was pretty much confrontational to the point that I said Maam don't worry about it I just wont come back. I was pretty much over it when she scrapped those grits off my plate in my face to go put water in them to make them less salty. Moving forward I'll smother my own liver. read more

I've been going to Past Time for years but I'm noticing how slack they have gotten. The servers are always pleasant but the cook is another thing. I always order a grill chicken omelette with cheese, spinach, onions, mushrooms and tomatoes. This time I only had 3 small pieces of chicken and uncooked vegetables Inside of my omelette. I was highly disappointed! I threw away half of my food. I was craving for it too. Anyway, I won't be back for a while. read more

My husband and I just stopped in for a quick breakfast on Saturday morning. He had the fried catfish, grits and eggs and I had a chicken omlet with onion and peppers. My omlet was amazing! My husband's breakfast was on point too! Chloe took good care of us. It is worth a try! read more
