Came here with my girlfriend and my friend. We enjoyed the meal. The cornbread may have been the best I've ever had. The restaurant isn't cheap but the portions are huge! Really enjoyed the short ribs. The ragout pasta was good but nothing special. read more

EVERYTHING in the menu is delicious!! Prices are fair and waiters are so friendly! . It is all about great food in this restaurant

Excellent service and yummy delicious food- a great reliable spot for good food! It's a great comfort food diner style place.

Been here a few times before and each time has been great. Granted the couple of times has been in the past like 5 years but again each time has been great. But as far as this visit I have to point out that we came in a order our food. I noticed that the food was taking extra long to come out and our server notice/realized it and he gave us an appetizer to compensate the long wait. That was surprising because it wasn't like we complained that it was taking too long he did it on his own accord. That definitely warrants some cool points. The food is great. I had the Mac and Cheese with shrimp and yea it was great. This was my first time ordering the Mac and Cheese was surprise how good. My mom LOVEs the braised Ox tails. Both of our favorite was the Heath Bar Bread Pudding really probably one of my favorite dessert I had. To be honest that why we went in the first place was because of the bread pudding. read more

Just left and couldn't wait to give my review!!! The food is simply amazing and so so very delicious. Outside the box if you will. Excellent chefs and staff. The vibe is hipster and eclectic which I love. I went in a large group and we were quickly accommodated. The menu is filled with all kinds of Y foods (Check out the menu for that explanation) lol We all got different plates: pancakes, brioche French toast, jalapeño cornbread eggs Benedict, steak and eggs, ox tail, and I had the shrimp and grits with a side of bacon-y potato salad. The menu is full of all kinds of foods so I definitely need to come back and try many more different things so I need to up my workout game. Prices are very reasonable and worth every penny.... the local is a bit small but it gives you a right at home vibe with indoor and outdoor seating. The kitchen was playing some great jams as they cooked so therefore I got to eat and dance in my seat. They have a great selection of beers and wine and we tried the cake and key lime pie for dessert which was orgasmic just like the French toast. Definitely a winner winner chicken dinner. See you real soon blue collar read more

I've been here tons of times and it's always excellent. Delicious hot food, the space is small but it's the perfect low key environment. Get the conch fritters app (my favorite!), you won't be disappointed with anything on the menu. read more

The main selling point of this place for me is the great food at a great price. I highly recommend the mac n cheese, duck quesadilla, and the scallops. This is my 3rd time here and the experiences have all been consistently great. read more

I've been meaning to come here for ages, but after weeks of failing to procure a brunch res (in addition to failing to plan ahead), I caved and booked a dinner reservation. I've heard rave reviews, and it definitely lived up to the hype. Located in a motel, the space serves up a kitschy diner vibe with a nouveau Americana menu. It's got an open kitchen (which proved to be somewhat stifling on a summer night) and friendly service. I ordered the crispy chicken with sweet potato plantain mash and caramelized brussel sprouts. I've heard great great things about their veggie sides, so I chose an entree where you could try out two. While the brussel sprouts left much to be desired (under-salted, kinda tasteless), the mash was absolutely spec-ta-cu-lar. It offered a soft and sweet complement to the crispy chicken, which was crunchy on the outside and juicy and tender on the inside. Would definitely recommend the mash for sure! As for the other diners I was with, here are some insights I picked up: the ribs (and the sauce that came with them) were tender and flavorful, the pork cheek practically melts in your mouth, the steak was somewhat underwhelming, and the veal parm got two thumbs up. Get ready to get stuffed, take home leftovers, or share with a friend, because portions are enormous and well-worth the price. Warning: This is a teeny spot and there's little space for waiting parties, so make a reservation! Especially way in advance if you're looking to come out for brunch. The largest party that can be seated is probably a group of eight. There's also limited parking off to the side of the motel its located in, but plenty street parking if you keep an eye out! read more

Blue Collar - Crispy Crispy B/S Chicken Breast w/ Caramelized Brussels Sprouts & Sweet Potato Plantain Mash - Comfort Food Near Me - Miami, Florida

We had a great brunch here the other day. The food was delicious. The inside of the restaurant is small and feels cramped, and the server needs a bit more training but overall we had a positive experience. read more

I can't believe I didn't visit this place earlier, I've missed out on so much good food! Blue Collar is easily my #1 restaurant in Miami, I love that they have healthy options that taste great (my favorite is the snapper with red curry + mushrooms and bok choy). Service here is also stellar, giving you a true homey feel throughout your meal. Tips when visiting: 1. Parking is limited, the restaurant is located in front of an old motel 2. Reservations are recommended, the venue is small 3. Order anything, it's all amazing read more

What a find! We met up with some friends staying in Miami and chose this place based on Yelp reviews. The neighborhood looks a little sketchy, but wasn't as bad as it first appeared at all. We arrived at opening time, and on a Saturday night we were the only ones in the restaurant for a good 30 minutes, but then the place filled up. The menu was crazy eclectic...so much fun! The chalkboard had at least 20 different vegetables. I had awesome gnocchi with a lamb bolognese, and my husband had fall-off-the-bone ribs that were delicious (but the corn on the cob was nothing special). All six of us enjoyed our meals. We actually came back almost an hour later for dessert! The bread pudding was delicious, but the fresh whipped cream with the chili-spicy finish stole the dessert show! Highly recommended! read more

Craftsmanship. No frills The food is just perfectly cooked. Order the Brussels sprouts. Order the key lime pie. read more

I'm perplexed. This is one of the best local, down home dining experiences I've had in South Florida. Why then, am I perplexed? Well the reason is that I hate to uncover a "hidden gem" for the public to overrun it. How do I rate it 6 Stars. This was my second lunch here and it was every bit as good as the first time. This is an impeccably quality foodie experience. If I were to write a review of primo hole in the wall experiences, this is a resounding #1. Blue Collar is so good, so unpretentious and delicious. To prove it, that there was a table of 5 cops eating lunch outside in 93° weather! We had a chicken cordon bleu sandwich and a fontina and pimento grilled cheese on a Portuguese muffin. When I'm on death row, I may get that sammie again! To the Dining Public, please ignore this review. read more

This restaurant is amazing. Make sure you make reservations. The food and service was amazing. The portions are great. I enjoyed the Miami Spice menu. I wanted to try everything. read more

I've had this place bookmarked for ages but didn't realize how close it was. A small storefront near a motel. If you're not careful you can easily past it by. Once you walk inside you already know it's going to be good. The smell of food cooking had me in anticipation. Ordered a conch fritter po boy with a mixed salad and my partner got a chicken breast with fries, carmelized brussel sprouts and french toast. Conch fritters were amazing, perfectly seasoned and the sauce was the icing on the top. Loved the French toast, be sure to tell them if you want it well cooked or not. But I will definitely be coming back to try more dishes. read more

We came to this little gem in the MIMo area Which is and upcoming neighborhood! This was my first time here for dinner with my spouse; this tiny casual dinner that seats about 25 people inside and has 4 tables outside is really outstanding. First the people are very attentive and friendly it's like eating in a 1950's dinner with the menu written in a chalkboard on top of the kitchen you can hardly undeserving what is says but the waiter was extremely helpful and with details explained the menu and gave us some suggestions that were wonderful!! Everything is made from scratch, my wife ordered the oxtail special on top of mash potato and grilled vegetables that was phenomenal I ordered a chicken Parmesan with angel hair pasta that was delicious!! I forgot to mention that as starter we ordered the best conch fritters as an appetizer that were superb. For a dessert we got a doble chocolate cake that was served with 2 classic glasses of white milk that was excellent!!! Can't wait to come back !! read more

I have had this bookmarked for sometime now 1. Great Yelp reviews 2. Featured on Diners, Drive Ins and Dives 3. Guilty Pleasures. So when I had the opportunity to pick I chose this place as well as I had reservations for lunch on open table. It is season now in South Florida so you never know. When we arrived I was surprised as it seemed to be a part of the hotel at least in front of it anyway. So once inside I double checked to make sure where we parked was ok and thankfully it was at the hotel which is adjacent to this restaurant. Once inside not as large as I imagined but perfectly fine for our group. I positioned my self so I could see the specials in the chalkboard as well as the kitchen. We ordered our drinks and service was excellent I had a Perrier. For the main course I ordered the duck quesadilla that comes with a fig jam and Mixed green salad. My lunch companions had the large ragout sandwich with fries. You could tell they were homemade so I snuck one. Food was delicious it was great to have a home made meal. The decor was very retro with lunch boxes on the walls. If you order coffee you get the thermos. As for dessert we shared the chocolate cake that came with whole milk in an old fashioned milk bottle on the plate. When leaving I noticed the old time cards on the wall keeping with the theme of this lovely restaurant. read more

Best food and staff. Evah!!! So good. Go! I cannot even imagine how the food could get any better. It's simply perfect- portion size, taste, presentation. Super chill place. I only wish I had a bigger stomach or more day sin Miami to try everything (if i did that though, it would kinda guarantee that I'd have a bigger stomach.) Good people. Good food. read more

Myself and some other Yelpers came here after the Elite Badge Bash at Paulie Gee's for some dinner. I have heard many good things about this place but had never been there so I was excited when we decided to head here. This restaurant is owned by Danny Serfer, who also operates Mignonette and is located in the Biscayne Inn, one of the classic motels along Biscayne in MiMo. It's a blink or miss establishment so keep your eyes peeled or you will drive by it Parking is not very prominent here since the parking is shared with the motel so if you are one of the lucky ones who get a space in the motel, kudos to you. However do not fret, as there is numerous parking areas around (right next door, across the street which is also the parking for Balans,or street parking). Once you walk in, you get the feeling that you have been transported back in time to a 70s type diner. Blue Collar prides itself on American comfort style food with a twist and that is what you get when you come in. They have a daily rotation of braised dishes, ribs, and parmesans as well as a "Veg Chalkboard", which is a chalkboard just fill of vegetables We ordered the following dishes: 1. Shrimp and grits which also had cheese, bacon and BBQ sauce. I am not normally a fan of grits in general, but after trying this dish, I could see myself eating more grits 2. Mac: This is their version of mac and cheese and it had cavatappi, fontina, cheddar and parm cheeses with a topping of bacon. I don't know what it it was about this dish, but it was probably one of the best mac and cheeses I ever had. 3. The crispy B/S chicken breast with a side of veggie fried rice and corn. This is your typical breaded chicken breast but the veggie fried rice was on point that I'm tempted next time to order it as a separate dish; it was that good. The corn is not your standard corn niblets, but half of a cob topped with piquillo peppers, citrus, chives, and garlic. Another dish that was on point. Another thing is that the portions are huge so you will probably end up taking leftovers home. I also hear they are most known for their brunch so I will be taking a trip back soon for their brunch. read more

I got the braised pork cheek and it was pretty good even though my mashed potatoes were cold. My dad got a sandwich with a few meats and red sauce and loved it. Their fries are sooooooooo good. Service was a bit slow but it looks like only one or 2 people were working. I would return read more

Me and my friend were browsing around and saw blue collar and decided to go inside . Place was very small the inside was booked so we went outside to sit it was filled with mosquitos . I had ordered egg Benedict which I thought was but was corn beard with very heavy meat and an egg I did not enjoy that meal at all was not worth $60.00 dennys would have been a better option . read more

A trifecta! Excellent food and friendly service with reasonable prices. Very rare in Miami.

I've literally been hearing about blue collar from friends and family for years now. I don't know what took me so long to try it out but I'm sold. The restaurant is very small so it may be prudent to come with a reservation but I came for lunch and was accommodated quickly. We tried to veggie plate plus the crispy snapper with two veggie sides. It takes something special to be able to serve a plate of just vegetables and make it super delicious so I think that says a lot about the quality of their food. Everything tasted fresh and the service was always attentive but not overbearing. I'll definitely be back! read more

The food here is always amazing and I love the different styles of cuisines on the menu the ambiance is very modern day as well, which I enjoy a TON. read more

I really wanted to like this place even more but unfortunately it ended up being a disappointment. My wife and I were seated rather quickly on Friday night at 8:45pm since we had a reservation. The restaurant is quite small so there were a few parties waiting but I don't think anyone waited more than a half hour. I ordered the Corbin and my wife ordered the Big Ragout, which was served as a pasta that evening. We also ordered a side of the caramel I did brussel sprouts. The Corbin was excellent! The brisket was a bit on the fatty side but extremely tender. The buns were soft and delicious. And it's really nice how you get two small sandwiches to make sharing easier. The dish came with two latkes and homemade apple sauce which were okay. The latkes were a bit tough and crunchier that my liking and the apple sauce was no better than what you can get out of a Walmart jar. Unfortunately the Corbin was the best part of the meal. The brussel sprouts were so disappointing. The serving size was decent for $5 but they were extremely chewy! Some of the stems hadn't been cut off and they weren't cooked for long enough so eating them all was quite difficult. My wife's Big Ragout has some good features but was just way too salty to enjoy. The meat was very tender and the pasta has a great texture. But the saltiness was way too overpowering. We were chugging water just to stay hydrated. Finally, the servers were nice but the meal took FOREVER. The food took quite a long time to come our (20-25 minutes). And from the moment we asked for the check, it was another 20 minutes before we could finally leave. The servers were friendly but everything just took much longer than it should. I would still come back to give their breakfast a try but I don't think I'd come back for dinner. read more

The Corbin sandwich is my go to. Tender roast beef with mustard on an English muffin style bun x2 with au jus aplenty for dunking. Homemade chunky applesauce and potato latkes offer a sweet and salty counterbalance to the nicely peppered roast beef. I call this lunch. If I'm here with a friend we'll often split the order and add a couple of veggies from the bounteous offerings on their veg chalkboard! OMG, so good. And now they accept the Primecard any time giving members 15% off. Even better!! read more

Great little restaurant on Biscayne. Not expected for a hotel diner but a wide variety menu and the food is always great.

I am beyond excited that my neighborhood has become an epicenter for small businesses, especially restaurants. Blue Collar couldn't possible fit more than a total of 20 people at one time, but it's the coziness that's part of its charm. It's the epitome of unpretentious dining. Goodbye are the days where you could only get great food at uncomfortably expensive restaurants whose decor and atmosphere was just as uncomfortably snooty. Blue Collar is exactly the opposite, it's all about the food. Hello?! What a novel concept! The staff are wearing almost in mockery, Tuxedo Tshirts and address you in a casual neighborhood manner. You feel as if you've lived next to this guy your whole life, waving hi to him every time you cross paths at publix. Getting to the point ... the food. You can't go wrong with tostones, especially when their topped with vaca frita and some delicious citrus mystery sauce. The "daily's" always include Ribs, Parm and Braise which change out weekly. P.S. Best Key Lime pie evahh. read more

Great for carry out. Dine in is super loud. But the food is amazing and always great.

.GIGANTIC DISAPPOINTMENT!!!!!. After seeing all the stars they were getting we decided to try it and went there for breakfast. Took them 43 minutes !!!! to serve an order of scrambled eggs and one of the pancakes! The place is small around 6 tables +/- inside,.The SERVICE??? is SMALLER. The eggs were tasteless and the pancakes were very, very SUPER DRY. We had to ask the waiter for syrup or butter but had to 'hunt' for him first. He was 'very busy' putting together phone Orders TO GO, while we all are waiting to be served at the table. On our way out we asked a small group of girls at the next table what they thought of the place. It was unanimous: TERRIBLE. DISGUSTING. NEVER AGAIN. These star ratings we saw at Yelp, which drove us to try Blue Collar, must HAVE been for previous restaurant management. IT CAN'T POSSIBLY BE FOR THIS GROUP. ???!!! What a pity. We were so excited to go there. read more

This is a hidden gem you don't want to miss out on! My friends and I went there for Miami Spice and each tried something different on the menu. We were not disappointed! From the vaca frita tostones to the Cuban sandwich spring rolls, their appetizers were flavorful, unique and set the meal off to a great start! I had the crispy skin snapper which came with a curry sauce that was the perfect amount of heat and flavor. I also had sides of beets with goat cheese and kale that were like no other veggie sides I've ever had. To top it all off, the Heath bar bread pudding was divine! So buttery, rich and delicious. Can't wait to go back and try the rest of the menu! read more

I was pretty sad when American Noodle bar vacated this spot. I actually poured some Ramen soup on the ground to mourn my dead homie. After eating at Blue Collar, I got over it. Quick. The food here is seriously outta hand. I'm not sure how I would categorize the menu, there are lots of different southern comfort foods, breakfast items, salads, and an ungodly selection of veggies. Maybe I just call it GOOD STUFF. We ordered a trio of entrees: Big Ragout - The dictionary says this is pronounced "Big Ragoo". I have no idea what a "Ragoo" is but holy sh$t is it BIG. This is not a sandwich. There is no possible way anyone can pick this up and eat it. It is a huge mound of slow cooked veal placed on some bread...and it is YUMMY. This may be the entire baby cow on this sandwich.... Mac - This stuff is the real deal. I know everyone thinks they have good mac but this one was crusty on top, creamy in the middle, and oozing with goodness. Shrimp & Grits - Glad to see some places repping the south here in North Cuba. They say this is an app, but you can eat this for your meal. Good stuff but the Ragoo and Mac were stronger. My belly was about to burst after leaving here. Everything was so good I just could not stop eating despite my growing discomfort. This would easily be a 5 star review except for one complaint. This place is incredibly HOT inside. I know it's a small venue with an open kitchen but you should not be sweating profusely while dining indoors unless you are here with your girlfriend and your wife just walked in. Not sure what's up with the AC, but it might have been cooler outside under the beating summer sun. Come here at night when it's cooler, but the food here is great. read more
