I came in with a couple of friends, one of them had seen this restaurant on tv and absolutely had to try it while in Miami. We had the Shrimp and grits, Latkes, Conch fritters (which by the way had a great sauce) My main dish was the Snapper with Italian artichoke, plantains (as a Hispanic person, these plantains with crystallized salt have been a revelation and I want to have them every day of my life). I was more than happy with my meal My husband got the Oxtail, which was fine, but even the mild version of it was just a little bit too spicy for our taste, so I'd recommend getting it regular, so you can fully appreciate its flavor. I wish I could give them five stars, since our server was also the sweetest guy and he was very apologetic about them not having the big ragout available and even when there wasn't something available, he would come back and offer us other options or magically produced conch fritters even when we thought there weren't any available. But they are really understaffed. Every part of our meal took forever to get to us. They are prioritizing take out meals, so we waited +40 minutes between appetizers and main course. Their bathrooms are another big issue, in keeping with the blue collar theme, the decoration is rustic, but rustic doesn't excuse uncleanliness. The bathroom was very dirty, with sticky floors and stains in the sink. If they fix these issues, this restaurant has great potential. read more

Excellent food! The wife ordered a grilled fish filet (can't recall what fish), the cauliflower curry mash, and the sautéed kale--all absolutely Delicious! I had the burger with the side of fries it comes with and an additional side of their Brussels sprouts; the burger was OK ordered it medium, but came medium-well-closer to well. The fries were fantastic as where the Brussels sprouts. They only offer beer and wine in terms of alcoholic beverages and although the prices were sort of normal for the beer maybe slightly high for the location/vibe you're sitting in but to my surprise it was a 16oz can! So it turns out the price isn't actually all that bad. As I just mentioned, the place itself and the vibe you get from sitting inside... let's just say you're only there to eat good food and leave. read more

Blue Collar - Birthday girl! - Comfort Food Near Me - Miami, Florida

I went to this restaurant thinking that I was going to have an awesome dish, The Big Ragout. They have great ratings. At first, I had to wait for a long time to sit down for the brunch. The place was jammed packed. The waiter took some time to come to the table. Of course right off the bat I ordered The Big Ragout. The flavor was okay. Nothing out of this world and for the price of $19 one would expect for it to be better than most. The side of fries was good but at the end I wished I ordered something different. I thought it was worth the long drive to come to this place but it was not. I will not come back here again read more

Blue Collar - The Big Ragout - Comfort Food Near Me - Miami, Florida

Not for the first time, I ordered filet mignon, but was served a different cut of meat. Weirder, someone else in my party who also ordered filet mignon was served yet another kind of steak. And again not for the first time, my "filet mignon" (what was it?!) was really overcooked. Blue Collar still has amazing sides. And for years, everything was reliably delicious. I hope that they will see this review and try to figure out what has gone awry. read more

Food was amazing and portions were excellent. I recommend the griot and the oxtail. Service was excellent.

We eat here every time that we are in town. This time we had the Big Ragout Sandwich and the the Big Ragout pasta dish. They are very good but the meat is very salty for our taste read more

I had lunch at Blue Collar for the first time a few days ago, and it was delicious! I ordered the Veg Plate which consists of your choice of 4 options from the Veg Chalkboard. I chose the Roasted Beets and Goat Cheese, Roasted Artichoke Hearts, Sweet Potato Plantain Mash, and Caramelized Brussel Sprouts. My friend ordered the Grilled B/S Chicken Breast with the Veggie fried rice and the Yukon mashed potatoes. Their plate looked delish and they enjoyed their meal. Both plates were a nice portion size as well. We were very full after our meal, and I even had leftovers to bring home. The location is quite ideal as it is right off of Biscayne Blvd, although the restaurant itself is not large. Parking can also be a bit tricky since the front lot is small, so I definitely recommend parking on one of the side streets. Service was great. Our waiter was very hospitable and efficient with taking our order, delivering our meals, and getting us the check before leaving. I highly recommend this place to those that have not been. read more

A definite brunch win here. Went last weekend at around 11:30 AM, and there were still several tables open. My friends and I sat down, and within 20 minutes, the place was full, and people were starting to line up and wait for a table. The restaurant is small (a few tables outside if you weren't just walking around at the nearby farmer's market and roasting like we had), so it does get filled up quickly, but for good reason. The kitchen is right nearby, so you smell all of the great dishes they are cooking up. I got a house made lemonade, and like my friend, had to keep adding water to it since it was on the dense and sweet side. No complaints here with that though, since I got to enjoy it for longer! My two friends and I decided to split 2 brunch dishes, which was a great call because they were huge! We had the Breakfast Burrito and The Big Ragout Sandwich. The salad that we got along with the sandwich was vinegar based, was well dressed and made me feel good about getting my leafy greens in without causing me to think I was eating grass (which is how my own salads taste). The potato hash we got with the breakfast burrito consisted of crispy cubed potatoes with just the right amount of oil and hearty potato inside. The breakfast burrito made a great impression on me probably because of the use of gouda cheese in it. It had good taste layers of chorizo, eggs and the smoky but creamy gouda. The Big Ragout sandwich was probably the winner out of the two only because of the mountains of tender meat inside of it. I couldn't tell what was brisket, pork/veal shoulder or sausage, and I didn't care, since all of the meat was well blended with tasty tomato sauce. Thank goodness my friends and I all played nice and equally split the sandwich, or else I would have gone home friendless. The coffee is super cute if you order it; they bring it in a checkered thermos that stays at your table for you to pour refills. The "blue collar" theme of the restaurant is very charming and comforting; definitely want to make my way back there again! read more

It's been a while since I've been to Blue Collar and I'm happy to report it's still great comfort food. From the breakfast options to the Caribbean dishes to the chalkboard full of great side choices, you can't go wrong. Unfortunately the service was a little off and slow. It's something that seems endemic in our pandemic existence. We enjoyed dishes ranging from the Haitian griot with sides of fried rice and plantains to the crispy snapper and conch fritters. Everything was delicious and perfectly prepared. Sorry, no photos. We were hungry and it was good. read more

Not sure why so well rated. Food was super salty, everything we ordered felt like we were eating pure sodium.

Really nice, cozy, small restaurant in biscayne boulevard. We sat outside, there were no available tables inside. Good service, outstanding food, we saw it on the news and we gave it a shot. Is inside of what it used to be a Hotel, very cool concept. My Jambalaya dish was fire, spicy but not overwhelming, I loved it. My wife went for the Papaderlle and enjoyed it. Homemade dessert was excellent. Overall I recommend it, Location, service and food. Not overpriced at all. read more

After going to a rare banksy exhibit around the corner, yelp steered me in Blue Collars Direction. After a sketchy parking lot, I passed by intending to go to my next yelp plan, but family (they were in the back seat looking backwards as i drove by) told me it looked great and to turn around. Very glad I did. It's Miami, so I don't expect valet for a diner. It just started off a little cramped for parking. Great staff, knowledgeable and happy, but thats where my 5th star couldn't be marked. Menu was amazing! Not too big which I love, but very unique and not boring. Food tasted excellent. Served hot and fresh, filled us up and we were happy. I know it was a fluke but still have to rate the experience honestly. The waiter said he'd bring us all waters and never did. My food was slightly spicy (curry cauliflower). I requested a water and he apologized and said he'd bring one right out. Never did. I walked to the car to get a bottle of water which did the trick. Honest mistake it seems but that was my only requested drink and never got it, can't say that's as good as it gets. Best food I had in Miami in a long time. It's made with love and is super flavorful. I hope I'm in the area to come back. read more

I've been a fan of Blue Collar and Mignonette for many years and I was so excited to hear that they expanded and opened right across the street! First things first: Full. Bar. We arrived early and had cocktails at the bar while we waited for the rest of our party. The drinks were great and I love the popcorn snack lol. What I love about both restaurants is the friendly and familiar vibe. Freddy was our server and he did an amazing job!! He was attentive, funny, and had great recommendations. We all had the Miami Spice menu and it's probably the best Miami Spice menu in the city. You basically order your 3 courses from the regular menu with a few up charges on some items. Everything was delicious and tasted like it was made with love. It was my mom's birthday and Freddy brought out dessert with a candle and even sang happy birthday to her (he has a great voice btw hehe)! We were all so happy with our experience and can't wait to go back! read more

Wow! Amazing! I'm so glad I finally got to try Blue Collar !!! I was lucky enough to join a long time friend of mine to catch up so the experience was even better. Everything I had here was good!!! You can't beat that! So got there a little early and wanted to check out the place. After circling a few times I figured out that it was next to a scary motel that looks like it was used in Scarface lol. Once I got settled and ran inside, I felt safe and sat at the bar to wait for my friend. I loved being able to see the chef in action. Amber, the server who greeted me and was with us the whole night, was so sweet and really made me feel welcomed. I made some conversation with her to pass the time as she poured me a glass of Malbec. The wine selection is pretty good and inexpensive. The bottle was only $30, and the glass is $8 so just get the bottle. Finally, my friend arrives and we sit in the patio. It was perfect weather so we were pleased. We ordered the tostones with the pulled pork and cilantro sauce. The flavor was very good, but the texture of the tostones could have used a little help. I'll blame it on the fact that they may have been made earlier in the day. No worries I ate it all anyway, the pulled pork was tender and flavorful and went nicely with the sauce. I thought it would be too rich but it wasn't. Next we ordered the muscles. OMG! Party in my mouth! Lol and with the Malbec it was such a great combination of flavor. The seasoned used for the white wine reduction was perfect. That little addition of blue cheese crumbles was such a nice surprise! You must have these if you like seafood! After some more great conversation, we had the spicy ox tail. Pricey but worth it. I was feeling bold after a few glasses of wine and said, "what the hell it's not my moms but I'll try these" (shhh don't tell her I liked them) they were cooked very well. Texture was just right and it wasn't fatty like I have seen in other places. Paired with the mash potatoes, which is making my mouth water all over again. Sweet and creamy to ease the spice, everything is so well thought out here! Last I couldn't leave without trying the Heath bar bread pudding. You have to have this dessert!!!! That white stuff served with it is not ice cream, but a whipped topping of some sort that was light and balanced the sweetness of the pudding perfectly. After a few bites you get the overwhelming feeling, but as soon as you put the spoon down, your tongue asks for more! How could this be? Well thought out balancing of flavors that's how! The only reason they don't get the 5 is because of the location. That motel is a turn off for me. The check was only $111. Everything is reasonable priced for the quality your getting, trust me. I love this place and I hope you enjoy it too. Come pay then a visit. read more

Going to a restaurant opening night is what I imagine giving birth is like... First there's the pain...Yes, it was a little crowded. Yes, it took a while for guests to be attended and orders taken. (Though in this regard, I was a little "preemie" since I was dining solo and ended up getting promptly seated at the bar.) Then there's the first hint of the baby peeking: Cracked bread with real butter on an old school bread board. The cracked bread even had that little powder on the bottom that I like! Congratulations, it's dinner!!! I ordered their boneless skinless chicken platter with two vegetables. Twins, I mean two chicken breasts, came out seasoned with a light and healthy citrusy seasoning. Joining them were my choice of maduros on par with those mima makes. Then you take your baby, er dessert, home! Take a piece of blackberry cobbler. Said pie had some citrusy notes contrasting nicely with the tart sweetness of the blackberry. It's heat was balanced by the cool scoop of vanilla ice cream accompanying it. A special congratulations goes to the doctors, I mean kitchen staff, checking on everyone. The sweet potato wedges needed a little of plastic surgery and just didn't feel right. No worries, early detection during my dining process detected this and they were gracious enough to sub out French fries hot and yummy! (Sorry for the limited number of medical analogies on this last line :) read more

The vaca frita tostones $11 were the surprise of the night. The tostones stayed crispy throughout the meal. The aioli was a needed moisture component since vaca frita is usually dry. Wish there was a tart or spicy sauce to cut all the richness. Burgers $16 include fries which is nice. The burgers, although they are quality made - juicy and indulgent, are not my absolute favorite in Miami. The Jambalaya $23 was well made and all the expected flavors were there. The large glass windows and cute interior are inviting, but unfortunately our party of four had to sit outside. Several bugs decided to land in our drinks. We were lucky to arrive in the small parking lot before valet had a chance to set up. The manager or employee from the adjacent motel, which is being renovated, was nice enough to remove some cones blocking a spot so we could park. Otherwise, parking can be kind of tough. There is "Soylent Green" on the vegetable sides menu! I didn't order it because the server was being aloof when I asked about it. Server would not tell me what it was made out of... read more

Awesome service and food. We went on a weekday At 3pm so it wasn't busy. Parked in the lot on the north side of building. We split the ragout sandwich which is multiple meats stewed in a tomato sauce and then shredded. It is put on a sesame roll and topped with mozzarella cheese. It's served with fresh cut French fries with the skin on them. The bread pudding is amazing. It's served warm with a side of cayenne pepper whipped cream....all homemade. The pudding has Heath bar in it. The ingredients are fresh. The staff is happy. Indoor and outdoor seating. Cool decor. read more

Wow. How have I not heard of this place before? I found out about BC during a friend's birthday dinner so naturally, I bookmarked it. Coincidently, Acelyn B took me here for my own birthday dinner. BC is tucked into the outer corner of some abandoned(?) motel. Though, it's easily spotted from Biscayne Blvd. It's a tiny establishment. For us, that meant: get there early to avoid the crowd. So we arrived just before opening on a Tuesday night. Our waitress affirmed our decision to come early as she mentioned the crowd they would be expecting. Rightfully so. The food was amazing. We ordered the Mac, Vaca Frita Tostones, & the Big Ragout. I was super hungry when we arrived so the Big Ragout was "my" dish & we shared the Mac. The tostone was good. The orange mojo sauce wasn't overwhelming, which was a pleasant surprise. The Mac was DELICIOUS! We kept it unadulterated & ordered without any fix-ins. The Big Ragout was ginormous AND superb. The pulled meats were SO tender. The sauce was great. Note. I mentioned how hungry I was. When it arrived, I swore I was going to destroy the dish. Apparently, it packs a punch. I ended up taking home a decent portion to feed me for lunch the next day. That's cool. I'll gladly extend my birthday meal. We closed our meal with their chocolate cake. It was served with a small carafe of milk. They don't hide how sinfully chocolatey that cake is. The moist cake certainly nailed the spot. Did I mention that they serve milk with that cake? Seriously. Bomb. dot. com. read more

My boyfriend and I ventured into the city for brunch on a lazy Sunday on a recent vacation in Miami Beach. We were very excited to try this place after all the rave reviews. When we arrived around noon, there was a group of people waiting outside the restaurant. The restaurant is attached to a small motel and seems a bit out of place with its valet area located central to the motel. We preferred to sit inside, so we put our names down on the wait and decided to wait outside with everyone else because the inside of the restaurant is incredibly small. We were told our wait would be about 30 minutes and luckily our table was ready in about 20 minutes. There were a few names called before ours and I think the patrons know to eat and keep it moving here because of the limited seating. I ordered their specialty iced coffee, which is pretty strong, be warned! They also have thermos of hot coffee available, and if the Miami weather were any cooler, I would have considered ordering one! My boyfriend and I KNEW we had to absolutely order the Mac (Cavatappi, Fontina, Cheddar, Parm Cheeses) because of all the great reviews, but neither of us wanted to eat that as our main, so we made a crazy decision to order that as a starter. It was absolutely worth it! I loved the combination of the three cheeses in the dish, and it arrives at your table as a beautiful masterpiece of white cheesy glory, still piping hot with lots of steam. The Mac is very creamy but not too heavy to handle and it's definitely worth ordering. Be warned, there are no "small" sides or portions of this, so be ready to go all in! We finished every bite. For my main, I ordered the Shrimp and Grits - Trugole Cheese, Neuske Bacon New Orleans style "BBQ" sauce. There are a few things I liked about this dish and a few things I didn't like: I liked the fresh shrimp and crawfish, and the bacon was a great added touch. I had trouble wrapping my mind around the New Orleans BBQ sauce at first, but it soon grew on me. I did not like the grits mainly because of the consistency. The grits reminded me more of mushy mashed potatoes than true grits--and as a girl born and raised in Georgia, I should know! The dish is also very salty and pretty greasy. I only picked at the seafood and barely touched my grits, but towards the end of my meal, I could see the grease covering my plate. The boyfriend ordered the Brandon's Breakfast: Pancakes, French Toast, Bacon, Sausage, Toast, Hash, Fruit Salad, all covered in delicious maple syrup! I knew he would order this the moment I saw it on the menu because a whole bunch of random breakfast food covered in maple syrup is totally his thing. He really enjoyed everything it had to offer and gave a heroic attempt to eat most of the dish. Service here meets the standard but is not extraordinary, I assume it's because they're accustomed to getting patrons in and out. This place is good, but overall it wasn't a wow experience for me, and I wouldn't jump at the $15 roundtrip Uber ride to from Miami Beach just to eat here. If I do visit again, I'll definitely order the Mac and I'll probably stick with something a little more traditional for my main. read more

I can't believe it took me this long to visit Blue Collar! It was delishhh! Seriously, I'm upset it took me this long to come to this tiny gem! First things first, parking is around the corner & to the side of the old motel, so once you figure that out, you're good. The host quickly greeted my friend and I, and then we were given the option of either indoor or outdoor dining. Since the indoor had a 20 minute wait, we opted for the outdoors. Within minutes of being seated the waitress greeted us with waters in hand, and recommended her favorite items since we told her we were first timers! With her recommendation, I ordered the Pulled Pork Benedict and my friend ordered the Duck McMuffin. The portion size was better than expected! I ate half of my delicious meal and got a to-go box for the rest which I ended up having a few hours later. For dessert, we tried the chocolate cake! Yumm! It was served with a small glass of milk, which honestly, made me feel like a kid again! Cute presentation. Once we asked for the check, they brought it out in a Blue Collar mug, which I wanted to snag as a souvenir! Maybe next time I'll ask if it's available for purchase. Ha! I'm definitely coming back here again and again! Can't wait to try the other items on my next visit! read more

Huuuuuge portions and barely any seating here, but the food quality was great. I got a giant open faced sandwich filled with cheese and (I think) ox tail or brisket. The prices were pretty expensive, and we waited about 45 minutes. It gave me heartburn but I finished most of it. Worth it? We'll see in 15 years if my heart is still in good condition. read more

First time coming to blue collar and it was a great experience. The staff was polite and friendly, attentive and the food was amazing!! I loved it.

Very attentive service. Cozy, 8 table restaurant that is non pretentious, and has simply great food. We had the Potato panckakes (fresh, hot, crispy on the outside), I ordered the Veggie burger with Brussel sprouts instead of fries (very fresh and tasty), My friends ordered the Chicken cordon bleau, Hamburger, and fries.

Best new happy hour on the boulevard! Checked out the new Blue Collar location yesterday afternoon. They now have a full liquor license and happy hour from four till seven. Two for one drinks, which normally are priced at nine dollars, so $4.50 a drink! Extensive cocktail menu. Jillian (?) The bartender did a great job. It's only available at outdoor bar and seating, with ceiling fans and shade it was quite Pleasant despite the warm temperatures. We had some wings and deviled eggs that were on happy hour special as well as what I consider the best cheeseburger in Miami off the regular menu. Excited to have a great happy hour option in the neighborhood. read more

I went to Blue Collar for brunch on a Saturday afternoon with my family. I ordered the oxtails and chose grits instead of potatoes, which turned out to be a mistake. The grits had a burnt taste and were quite different from what I expected. The oxtails were tender, but as someone from the Caribbean, I felt they needed more flavor. On a positive note, the cornbread was solid. read more

Food is delicious! It can be a bit pricey but we truly enjoyed every bite and they give you good size portions Don't be discouraged by the outside of this establishment. It is located on the entrance of a motel, parking can be difficult, and the place is small so is usually busy but once you get to sit down and try the food you will forget everything I just mentioned. We love coming here for brunch but will definitely want to try it for dinner sometime since I heard they have a different menu. We enjoy the grits with shrimp, big ragout sandwich, pulled pork benedict on cornbread, duck Mcmuffin, vegetable side dishes from the veg chalk board, and the panther coffee. Wine selection is very limited and somewhat pricey but I usually enjoy a glass. read more

I had tickets to a concert at The Stage and had recently seeen an episode of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives which featured Blue Collar. As luck would have it, the venues are about 2 miles from each other. So we decided to go grab a bite prior to heading out to the show. The place did not disappoint. Even though there were several parties waiting, we cose to sit outsaide and got seatred failry quickly (it was a bit chilly out, by miami standards, so some people preferred to wait for something inside) We ordered a bottle of the Cab and cuban sandwich spring rolls for straters. Next, we shared an order of the Ragout. The pasta is obviously home made and a bit al dente. Overall, i thought both the appretizer and main course were very good. But nothing, and i mean nothing, could've prepared me for what was to come.. dessert.. They offer three, but they really should only offer one.. The Bread Pudding. I dont think im overstating things when i tell you this is quite possibly the best restaurant dessert i have ever had. in my life. ever. I cant even begin to try to explain it.. just trust me on this one. Its a bit of a trek for me, but if it wasnt, i'd venture to say that i would come to this place quite often. In fact, im already thinking about heading there for breakfast, which i hear is very good, and/or lunch... id really like to try to Corbin. That is all. The place is small and kind of divey.. but it has charm.. and the wait staff wears tuxedo t-shirts as their uniforms.. seriously.. place is great. read more

We went there last night after been told by a friend about its "amazing food" . It looks like reservation is a must on Friday nights because the place is small. There are seating indoors and outdoors, and it is super casual. We preferred to seat outdoor because I saw that the kitchen is very close to the dining area and I didn't want to be smelling like fish since we were going out dancing afterwards. They had Miami Spice dinner menu on a Saturday night so we took advantage of it. The menu included an alcoholic beverage. We picked Chardonnay and beer. Appetizers: seared scallops with Chilean chimichurri and duck quesadilla confit with raspberry jam. Entrees: crispy skin snapper with curry and fried jasmin vegetable rice and curry, and pappardelle ragú with short rib brisket and veal. Dessert: homemade key lime pie and chocolate cake. All we can say is that everything was amazing !!! We are planning on taking some friends next weekend. P.S: The Miami Spice menu gives you the option of ANY appetizer and ANY entree. read more

I was excited about trying this place given the reviews, however it was disappointing. My waiter was very patient and answered all of my questions and was pleasant, but other than checking if we received our food, he did not check on us again until we called out to him to get our check. My husband ordered the shrimp and grits and he said it was good. I ordered the mac and cheese with bacon and shrimp and it was good. I ordered the trout with the sides fried rice and a chickpea with kale in a tomato sauce. My meal was not good. The trout had no flavor, the rice was hard and cold and the chickpea side was not good. The whole thing went into the garbage. Unfortunately, because my waiter never came to check on us, I was not able to voice my displeasure. I'm glad I got the mac and cheese otherwise I would've had no dinner! It's a cute restaurant though. We will more than likely not return. read more

I had bookmarked this spot months ago anticipating the day I'd get a chance to try the Big Ragout Sandwich that many yelpers rave about in their reviews accompanied with their amazing looking photos of this dish. After I was seated and comfortable - excited to place my order, I was told by our nice young man waiter that, 'sorry but they ran out of the Big Ragout Sandwich'. I wanted to flip out but I kept my cool and thought to myself, 'is there anything else I'm curious to try?' There was one other thing I have been wanting to try. I asked my waiter if they are offering the Spicy Oxtail? He said that is only offered sometimes with their daily specials but it's not offered today. He mentioned he did not even think they have any oxtail in stock as they order it in advance when they plan on featuring it on their daily's. I was so sad! But I did not give up! I asked my waiter if he can please double check with the kitchen if their is anyway they can prepare the special Spicy Oxtail for me as I did not want my trip here to be in vain as those two dishes was the only two entrees that had my interest. My waiter said he will inquire for me. Five minutes later, my waiter returned with fantastic news, they had some oxtail in supply so they will make it for me. Whoo-hoo!! Now I'm happy. I hoped it was worth the trouble. My waiter asked if I'd like it mild, medium or hot spicy? I though how hot could it be? I like spicy. My waiter warned me hot is very hot so I went the safe route and got it medium. The moment of truth came when they placed the plate down before me. It was very delicious and tender big pieces of stewed oxtail. Three large pieces and one small piece. The spice level was nice, it had some kick but without being overpowering or mercilessly uneatable. I was happy with the medium spice level. It was served with mashed potatoes (which was good) and a slice of bread (that tasted stale). I left the bread alone and devoured the succulent oxtail meat with the creamy mashed potatoes together. Great job! The cost was $25 for the Oxtail special. It's pricy but worth a try in my opinion. read more
