The restaurant is much bigger than their original space and I like it. They had a very extensive drink menu and I didn't get to try any cocktails, but I definitely will next time I will try one. The shrimp and grits were initially served a little warm so I asked for them to be warmed up. They came back piping hot, which I appreciated. The side of sweet potatoes was yummy and I didn't even need to use the sauce that was served along with it. The Philly with fries was a large portion and the fries were delicious. There is a parking lot in the back but looks limited.
First time here since they moved across the street. The best burger and fries I've had in years! I love this space. I used to come here a lot and actually looked for Blue Collar for months until I called to make sure they're still open. FYI, the Pulled Pork Benedict is still here. You just have to come on the weekend. Still great food at good prices. Enjoy!
This restaurant is a gem. My Jambalaya had some kicks to it. The Big Ragout was really nice as well. I love on site parking. That saves us a lot of headache. Easy, laidback outdoor bar with quality staff & service. I wish I lived in Miami!
I almost never leave bad reviews but this was probably the worst dining experience I've ever had. We came for my fiancé's birthday and were looking forward to the food, as we came before for brunch and he really enjoyed it. The food was good, but everything else about the experience was extraordinary unpleasant. Our service was nice, but it took 15 minutes to get our orders in. From there it takes an hour for the appetizers to come out, and an hour and a half for the entrees. The restaurant was a little busy, with maybe 6 tables but nothing that would warrant that type of wait. In the 30 minutes between our appetizers and entrees we hear full volume yelling and banging in the kitchen. One of the chefs is having a melt down and saying he's leaving. He proceeds to storm back and forth around our table and through the restaurant yelling. This goes on for 5-10 minutes. No one comes by to reassure us everything is ok, and we question if we are safe sitting at the table. This is Florida, he could have a gun, etc. We are all nervous but decide to stay because we can't find a server to get the bill and leave. Eventually the server comes over and when we ask about what happened she just said su chef got into a fight with the head chef, and acted like it was NBD and has happened before. Totally brushed off the whole thing to us. Didn't offer us a complimentary drink or even apologize for the scare. And we all felt bad for the employees of this restaurant that had to endure this man yelling at them. Eventually the food came out and we all devoured our meals and the desserts because we had been waiting for so long. My food came out room temp but everyone else enjoyed theirs. Overall such a strange and unpleasant dining experience, despite the fact that the food tasted good. I felt bad that this was my fiancés family birthday dinner experience.
It's such a cute little spot on the corner. While the parking lot is small we did manage to find a spot . I like how attentive all of the waiters were! The service was really great ! All the portion sizes were good as well
It's a solid 2.5 stars. I really don't understand the ratings and popularity. Bar food quality meal and subpar service. We came in for a quick bite at 6 pm, ordered a salad and their "best cheesesteak outside Philly". 30 min later, a salad comes out. Our waitress comes out to inform us that "unfortunately we are out of hoagies, therefore you need to order something other than our signature cheesesteak". Understood. I am sitting with my salad, and my partner is waiting for his meal for another 30 min. Any good restaurant will offer something to a person who ended up with no food. My salad was getting soggy, I proceeded to eat it. By the time his burger came out - I was finished. So much for a dinner together. Btw the food was just ok. I don't think it's worth the hype.
Everything we ordered hit the spot! Everything was made with love and respect. We will be back!
Decided to have a night out with a friend and came across this lovely gem. The restaurant had this modern cozy aesthetic to it. We decided to just do appetizers for the night and the waitress was kind enough to guide us through the menu. We ordered a wedge salad, mussels, conch fritters, and buffalo wings. The two stars of the show were the mussels and conch fritters. Both items had so much flavor packed into them. Highly recommend these two items. Although, next time I would ask to hold the pancetta on the mussels. For desserts we did the milk cookies and banana bread pudding. The banana bread pudding was scrumptious and the whipped cream on the side completed the dish. I will definitely be coming back.
Miami Spice 2025 - depending on how you order, Blue Collar can be one of the best Miami Spice values. Pick any appetizer or salad, main, and dessert for $45. We ordered: shrimp and grits, duck confit, quesadilla, filet mignon, crispy skin, snapper caramel bread, pudding, and Keylime pie. Everything was delicious! I particularly enjoyed my choices. The quesadilla was hot and crispy, with plenty of duck. The crispy skin snapper was super tasty and I loved the texture. You can pick two veggies with the entrees. I loved the braised cabbage. It was sweet and went well with the fish. The crispy brussels sprouts were good, but I have had better brussels. I think the desserts were smaller than the regular portion, but that was fine. Service was friendly and efficient. This was my first time at the new location, which is definitely a step above the original location. Parking is at the side of the building.
First time here at Blue Collar for their Miami Spice 2024!!! Tbh one of the best deals out of hundreds of places to eat here in Miami right now. Miami Spice Menu - Choose any appetizer, entrée, and dessert for $30 lunch or $45 dinner. We ordered the jalapeño breads which had a bit of a kick and Latkes Royal for appetizers. For entrees we had the chicken cordon blue with pork n beans and sweet plantains. As well as the Grilled Faroe Island Salmon with mashed potatoes and Pork n beans. The salmon had so much flavor with a crispy top. Delicious! The pork n beans give you a punch of different meat flavors from sausages and bacon! Lastly for dessert we order the key lime pie and health bar butterscotch bread pudding both tasted very fresh and homemade so so good. Our server was very sweet and informative and gave us some great tips on what to order. Food came out quickly and the ambiance was very chic. It was a bit small so parking in the back could be limited. I heard they moved from across the street and looks like a bigger location from the older one. Highly recommend to anyone in the area especially now for Miami Spice. ^.^
10 Years Later - Blue Collar is still GREAT! I've been coming to Blue Collar for 10 years now and the food is always GREAT! No complaints! Our server Jon, has been there since we have been going and always takes great care of us too! Food is always spot on, made fresh with quality ingredients, and delicious to boot. No matter what you order from the menu - it will be good - I've never had a bad meal or dish here. One of our favorite dishes for breakfast or brunch is the Brisket Benedict - the combination of the poached eggs and the soft and tender brisket on an English muffin is just perfection - so good. It's served as well with home cooked potatoes that make the perfect side dish as well. We also tried this time the buttermilk pancakes and their French toast and both were fantastic as well. Highly recommend! The absolute STAR of their menu though is their key lime pie - it's the BEST KEY LIME PIE EVER! Not just in Florida but honestly the best key lime pie I've ever had anywhere and that's a huge compliment. I've had family drive all the way from Ft Lauderdale to Blue Collar in Miami for the key lime pie it's that good. You can taste that it's always homemade and made fresh and it's the most perfect balance of tart and sweet - not too sour and not too sweet - which is hard to find with key lime pies they're always too sweet or way too sour. This desert was the first desert that our server Jon recommended to us almost 10 years ago and I can happily say 10 years later it's still our favorite menu item. If you're in the area with great service and great food that is always good and consistent I highly recommend Blue Collar. You won't be disappointed!
This was a first time for me dining here. Also, it was a first for me to dine in this Mimo area. The restaurant is popular and has recently just moved across the street from their previous location. Apparently, this location is bigger. The decor was pleasant. They have a gorgeous large chandelier in the main dining room with high vaulted ceilings. The building is intriguing. The light offered a romantic ambiance. We sampled their corn bread which was really good. It was buttery and definitely had a nice warmth from some jalapeno. It came with finger chili brown licking butter. My husband tried their cordon bleu. The chicken had the flavours but was a bit dry as it was over cooked. The sides he chose were green beans and asparagus and they were delightful. I sampled their warm and spicy jambalaya. It was hearty and filling. It included shrimp, chicken and sausage. We enjoyed our evening. The service was pleasant and friendly.
I think this is the next Miami spice deal that I saw. $45 dinner for your choice of appetizer AND entree!? Also when I stopped by it was HH where 2x1 cocktails were happening as well as other deals on drinks. The mango margarita and side car were delicious. A bit small but still tasty. This wasn't my first time there so I just knew I needed the jalapeño cornbread. I had the griot with mashed potatoes and peas. As a Haitian I know when there's some zoes in the kitchen. The griot was crispy yet still tender. Pikliz was spicy 10/10. I've been to Haitian restaurants who haven't been able to deliver on the flavor profile and having good pikliz. When I ordered I wasn't too thrilled about ordering peas but I was trying to have a balanced meal. The peas did not disappoint! Oxtails were good. Not spicy though. The cookies were small but gooey and warm. The shock for me was the bread pudding, you can't come here and not get it. And the pairing with the whipped cream was unexpected. Our server was fantastic.
On the Miami Eater 38 List (as of 6/29/15) I came in with high expectations for Blue Collar based on the awesome Yelp reviews, and the delicious looking menu, but sadly, left disappointed. We could have come on an off night, or ordered the wrong dishes on the menu, but the food we had was really uneven. They don't take reservations, and the restaurant isn't very big- it seats probably 36 inside and another 25 outside. It was about a half hour wait when we got there around 8pm on a Friday night. There aren't any seats or even a bar area to wait at, so you have to stand the entire time. At least the hostess can take your drink order so you can at least have a drink while you stand and wait. We were lucky enough to score outdoor seating (it was perfect weather at the time to dine outside), and tried: -Mac (Cavatappi Pasta, Trugole, Cheddar, Parm Cheeses, $12 + Bacon $3) & Sweet Potato Plantain Mash ($6) [http://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=lESHk8x-jDv3X-6yAWXRCA&userid=76vIFZcC7owykCBjMfGVXg]: The mac was just ok, but on the bland side. It wasn't as creamy as I expected, and definitely not the best version of mac I've had- skip! The sweet potato plantain mash was also just ok- more plantain than sweet potato, and the texture was very mushy. I wouldn't order this again. -Baby Back Ribs ($21): Pretty good, and definitely one of the better dishes that we tried. The ribs had good flavorful, but were on the lean side. -Crispy Skin Snapper (Rock Shrimp Vegetable Fried Rice, Red Curry, $23, http://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=840-Au6CYuLEU0VDMWP2kw&userid=76vIFZcC7owykCBjMfGVXg): I thought this dish was ok, but my friends really enjoyed it. However, I'm not a big fan of snapper, so this is probably the reason I wasn't a fan of the fish, but the red curry sauce was really good. -BC Entree Salad (Crispy Chicken, Latkes, Romaine, Mesculin, Bacon, Blue Cheese, 1000 Island Dressing, $16, http://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=7cNR5DaGTKx0r1wG2YPVUQ&userid=76vIFZcC7owykCBjMfGVXg): Super disappointing. They should tell people that it's crispy chicken breast, since I thought I was getting crispy chicken bites. The chicken was super dry and flavorless, and although they give you a giant portion of salad, it was pretty boring. The latkes had good flavor, but were overfried and too crispy- skip! -New York Strip Steak (Homemade Fries, $25): My friend's husband really enjoyed this dish, and I tried some of the homemade fries (gigantic sauteed potato wedges), which were ok. -Caramelized Brussel Sprouts ($6): Super disappointing- the brussel sprouts were undercooked, and not very caramelized tasting. Skip! -Oreo Cheesecake ($7, http://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=AgI8a78DsSVCV6GpV9CB6w&userid=76vIFZcC7owykCBjMfGVXg): Yuck- this is one of the worst cheesecakes I've had in a while. It tasted like they used Neufchatel cheese or ricotta since it had a really dense texture, and wasn't sweet at all. I wouldn't order this again. If they have Chicken Parmesan as a special that night, make sure you order it! I saw that another table ordered it and it looked amazing, AND it was a giant portion to boot. Service was pretty good- we had a really energetic kid who wore a T-shirt that had a tuxedo look printed on it, which I thought was entertaining. Overall, the food was really uneven for me, and I don't think I would come back based on my experience. Maybe if they had the chicken parmesan that night.. Parking around here is really difficult since there isn't much street parking available (and not really anywhere you want to leave your car), so valet is your best option. read more

Came here for Saturday brunch. Ordered duck "McMuffin" which is duck bacon on top of sunny side up duck eggs and muffins with potatos on the side. It's delicious especially if you like fatty duck meat. We also had blueberry french toast with sausage. It's a huge brick of thick toast stuffed with cheese and blueberries and fresh fruits on top and side. Very delightful dishes which totally made my day. :) read more
This place is incredible. Yes they serve the usual breakfast fare, but it's all taken to another level. I went on Sunday and we had a table of four. I had been warned to get there early and so we arrived about 1050 (they open at 11). We got there just in time, within minutes there was a pretty large line forming. This place is tiny and tucked away, naturally it doesn't take much to fill. My friends were a little hesitant, as this place doesn't look like much, but our food changed all that. I had the cold brewed Panther coffee and it was just what I needed. (Now I get the hipsters obsession in Wynwood.) This coffee was like crack, loaded with caffeine and highly addictive. The food was amazing! I had the shrimp and grits with BBQ sauce. Luckily it wasn't real bbq sauce, it was closer to steak sauce and complemented the food perfectly. The waitress suggested I top it off with some eggs, so I did just that. YUM! Everyone else was equally satisfied, as we sat quietly scarfing down our food. Another highlight for me, was my friends light airy and delicious ricotta pancakes. She even text me Monday morning saying she was still dreaming of them. So next weekend get up and go to Blue Collar, you won't be disappointed. If you are are one of those that don't enjoy breakfast foods, not to worry, you can order breakfast, lunch or dinner any time. I will be back soon. read more

Checked out Blue Collar because of all the great reviews and was not disappointed! The location is cute and intimate, without feeling too cramped. As it's a small space, there was a wait, which is fine. We only had to wait about 15 minutes. As soon as I looked at the menu, I was overwhelmed by the heaping portions and heavy dishes.. But don't worry I found some good options! I ate the veggie plate, where you can pick four things from a long list of fresh veggies and some grains and fries. The portion is amazingly large, and you will be filled from the veggie plate. My boyfriend ate the ribs with SPF which were all very yummy. The only thing we wished was that the rubs came with just a tad more sauce, but they were still super yummy. O and the mimosas are super fresh and tasty. Not in the mood for one? They have Panther coffee ready to go! I would definitely recommend this place, and be ready to wait for a table. read more

My brother and cousin were celebrating birthdays and decided that this is where they wanted to do brunch. I was excited because I've heard people rave about this place. Luckily we found parking and a table within in minutes of arriving which isn't always the case based on all the reviews I've read. This is one of those rare times when you shouldn't judge a book by its cover. Blue Collar is tucked away in the same lot as the Biscayne Inn. It's a ratty motel and I'm pretty sure it's abandoned, at least I hope it is by the looks of it. You can park in the motel's parking lot if you're lucky to find a spot or just go around the corner where there is some additional parking. Once inside Blue Collar you will forget all about the creepy Bates Motel and the lackluster location. Just remember you're here for the food and not the view. The interior is small but did not feel cramped, and they do offer outdoor seating which is a great alternative. The decor is simple and gives a nod to "blue collar" workers without going overboard. Onto the food! They have a great menu and honestly I wanted to try everything, but my trainer would kill me!! I decided on two eggs over easy and the watermelon cucumber feta salad. The server explained that the salad was on the small side, but when it arrived I found it to be a good sized portion. My brother had the Duck McMuffin (cured duck breast, smoked Gouda, Portuguese muffin, lemon aioli, sunny up duck eggs, duck jus) and my cousin had the Cobb Salad with chicken. Although my meal was simple it was delicious. The eggs were cooked perfectly which isn't always the case, and the salad was perfectly refreshing for a hot and humid summer day. The prices are standard for Miami and you can spend on average about $30 with beverage per person. My brother and cousin raved about their selections and judging on looks alone it looked delicious! I don't care for duck but my brother convinced me to try his meal and I loved it. The lemon aioli gave it a beautiful boost and made the dish seem almost light. I opted for the unlimited thermos of coffee which at $4 is a steal. It serves three cups and comes with a side jar of milk. I was happy to discover that they serve Panther coffee which is a personal favorite. On a side note, I loved the idea of a having a thermos to keep my coffee hot, and not having to wait for refills. The host and servers were all friendly and very prompt in getting tables ready for the next diners, but I never felt rushed. A member of our party was 20 minutes late and despite having finished our meals our sever was patient and understanding while we waited for our cousin to arrive. I had a great experience at Blue Collar and can't wait to come back and try out some other dishes. Great food, great service and in the end I fell in love with the creepy Bates Motel next door! Side note: The interior can get a tiny bit smokey when they are grilling because of the open concept kitchen, but it was not overwhelming. In the event that it's an issue you can opt to sit outside. read more

Went on a Sunday for brunch, was not expecting where it is located! It's on the corner of a really random motel...but I guess it adds to the character of the place! My girlfriend and I ordered the Mac n cheese and added Rock Shrimp to it. I liked it, nothing extraordinary but it was good. Next, we ordered the shrimp n grits. I heard so many amazing things about this dish on yelp I was expecting it to be life changing...it was good, but not the best! Still would recommend it though! We then ordered the Duck McMuffin...I am not a huge duck fan so I cannot fairly judge this dish, but overall it was nice. The duck was a bit gamey but that's my personal taste. We then ordered the Brussels sprouts, good but I've had better! The piece of resistance however was their Bread Pudding! Holy sweet baby Jesus! Best I've ever had! Hands down! Must try! In conclusion, I think the place was cool. Service was great! But I think it has way too much hype. read more

Vegans, vegetarians, and conovors a like. This is for you!!! Veggies are to die for and there meats are succulent. Fresh and creative. Something you would want to come early to though. The line outside is long. So you know this place is good. read more
Ok my sister in law is always selling me anything she sees on tv and of course after she saw the food channel where the big rag or made it to tv, she showed it to me and I was sold on getting it! We had called to order it, but they had sold out! So I decided to try it on a weekday at work! Ok let me warn you! This thing is to share!!! It's massive and I would encourage to have it at the restaurant for freshness! Still good when you order it and it gets deliver, but I am sure the bread is not as soggy. Even though the meat is seasoned amazingly, it lacks a bit of salt (still good, don't get me wrong). The price is just right, if you are sharing that baby. Parking around this area can be hard, since their lot is small and street parking is limited. read more
Small and you can miss it, if you are not careful but this joint is the place to be. Food-really good! Service-dope! Experience-uniquely memorable! **Note: This place is ideal for 2nd, 3rd and 4th dates...it's pricey, so, make sure that you really like the person that you bring here...you know, like it's an investment for a potential good relationship! Anyway! Check it...I ordered the Brioche French Toast, which was good and tasty but the sausages was even better, I mean "off the hook!" status. I even tried their special Oxtails with mashed potatoes, which was pricey but "crazy" delicious!!! The cooks and the servers were "mad" cool, friendly and accommodating! I'll BE BACK!!!! read more
Location and setting are less than ideal, other than the restaurants in that area of town Little Haiti is not pretending to be anything but Little Haiti. Blue is stashed in a side pocket of a sketchy hotel with very limited parking, it's probably tougher to park than score an 8 ball of coke, good luck finding a spot. Rock Shrimp Mac n Cheese & Shrimp n Grits came out quick and like Warren Jeffs its had us believing the hype. Small portions for the price, and the growth deficient shrimp were almost as small as a grit, but taste was great and I'd def recommend both dishes. The pork/beans/egg app was also real good but not big enough for sharing. Stay away from the entrees. Big Ragout sandwich is a hot sloppy mouth blistering bread soggying greasy disaster, proof is in the pics. The bread fell apart instantly, so that left me with this cat food-esque meat on my plate smothered in cheese, took 2 painful bites and passed. Spare Ribs were basically just ribs, no meat, I took about 8 bites and came up with meat in 1 of those, not a good ratio. Philly Cheese was good but nothing earth shattering. Chicken looked very good and if I didnt eat chicken the other 6 days of the week that wouldve been a safe bet, along with the burger. The side dish menu is impressive, but the ones we ordered were mostly skippable. The brussel sprouts were very good...the fries were burnt and seemed re fried and just aren't worth it. The sweet potato mash was like pumpkin carving. The broccoli was covered in some unnecessary sweet sauce, cooked good though. Bread pudding was the best dish of the day, a top 5 pudding. It's warm and comes with ice cream and will leave you with a great memory of this place. You're not missing out if you skip the cobbler. Apps and desserts are too good to ignore, the potential is here but 8 months in it's an unfinished product. read more
Holy cow. Incredible food. Started with the amazing beef tostones, moved on to the red snapper (which I prefer with the curry sauce on the side since the chef prepares the fish so perfectly on its own, and opted to try a few sides rather than whatever it was supposed to be served with. We tried the curried cauliflower mash, sweet potato plantain mash, and the brussel sprouts. All three sides were just perfect. A little bit of a unique twist to the most delectible veggies, bursting with flavor, and just oh, so decadent. To springboard off of the decadence, we finished up with their famous heathbar bread pudding, and yes, there were all kind of inappropriate words flying out of our mouths in disgusting appreciation. It was that good. Thank goodness, I won't be in Miami long. This could be a disaster. read more
Will start this while we eat. Busy off the bat when they opened at 6 on Sunday evening, but staff couldn't have been nicer. Fried smoked Gouda w/housemade honey mustard sauce to start things off. Fantastic, and the sauce could easily be addictive..... pause while we sip iced tea and wait for more food :) Entree is here. The daily braise special, Harissa-braised lamb shoulder. Incredible. Plenty of kick, and I got cheese grits instead of mashed spuds as my side. It's all delicious....pause to enjoy Finished entrees. Now waiting for Heath bar, butterscotch bread pudding. May not be able to finish the review due to being on my way to heaven! Didn't make it to heaven, but boy seemed like I was awfully close based on the great meal we just finished. read more

Blue Collar has become local legend now and the reasons are simple, delicious dishes served by a very attentive wait staff at very reasonable pricing. If you haven't tried some of my favorites check these out next time you go to BCR Miami! The best cheeseburger in greater Miami (seriously "best of list" have no clue!) ANY parmesan, my fav is the eggplant! followed by chicken! The Mac and Cheese (with shrimp) is fabulous! The jambalaya is spot on! I gaar-run-tee! And of course the veggie board! No other restaurant in Miami serves up as many fabulous fresh vegetable selections! And if you haven't been to brunch on Saturdays or Sundays, what is your problem... Go now immediately! And save room for desert! I won't describe them, just save room for one!! Blue Collar Restaurant Miami! YUM! GO GET SOME! read more

My fiancee and I went to Blue Collar for dinner on a Thursday night. There was about a 10-15 minute wait when we arrived--not bad for a place with relatively few tables. Our server was friendly and we were able to put in our early fairly quickly. We shared the Mac for an appetizer, which was really rich and had a unique mustardy flavor. It was a perfect size for sharing, too. Our entrees took a bit longer to come out, but it was a busy night for a small kitchen. My fiancee had the Corben sandwich and I had the chicken parm. She loved the Corben, which is basically a really flavorful French dip. She said the hashbrowns were very good as well. My chicken parm came in a huge portion. I liked it, but the sauce was a little watery for my liking. Overall, the food at Blue Collar was pretty good. However, the small space made for a pretty noisy dinner. I'm all for unique restaurants (Blue Collar is tucked into a small hotel), but hopefully Blue Collar can expand or find a new location in the near future to improve the dining experience. read more

The food here is just so simple yet unbelievable. The chefs are so friendly and sing out loud. What a great environment. Staff is very friendly and everyone is making sure you're having a good time. I love the veggie board and it lets you build your meal. Every item is delicious and food is always served hot and fresh. One of my favorites to eat healthy but still enjoy my meal. Don't even get me started on the health bar dessert with cayenne whip cream! Unbelievable. The cayenne pepper is so subtle which makes it absolutely perfect. Keep cooking and serving guys. Huge fan. read more

Blue Collar serves mouth watering, comfort food. Everything seems to be homemade and created daily. For those of you who are new to BC, you may want to note that it's in a motel. So you might have difficulty finding it (should you be too busy illegally texting instead of keeping your eyes on the road). The place is the size of an average living room, so suck in your gut when you walk in the door. It's first come, first seated so you may have to wait a few minutes. There are outside seats with fans. Out of desperation you might have to sit outside. So just drink a cold beer and try to forget the heat. The food is outstanding. It's great for vegetarians as they have over a dozen vegetable options. Their salads also happen to be tasty. The Big Ragout is a must have, as is the vegetable plate. The thick cut fries are delicious. The mac and cheese is pretty darn good. It's available with bacon or rock shrimp too. Service is friendly and efficient. The beer and wine selection is respectable. Fast all day before dining here. Enjoy read more
Food is amazing, they have great selections for everyone, whether vegetarian, omnivore, pescetarian, or carnivore. The staff is friendly, and the flavors are interesting, unconventional and fun, with spins on veggies such as curry cauliflower puree, something that is uncommon to see on a menu, or their delicious beets and mushrooms. The only drawback is parking, something that can only be described as terrible and frustrating. On the day I came, I ended up barely squeezing between a wall and a car, needing help from someone to park there and having to maneuver for about 15 minutes to try reverse-parking, and having to exit my car through the passenger seat. That was the only spot, and considering they are in a motel, it is difficult enough to even FIND a spot, since 99%-100% of them are either being used by those staying at the motel, or other restaurant patrons. I am sure that if they had better parking options, they'd have a much, much larger clientele. I asked the waitress if there were other parking options and was told that was it, so maybe the best option is to take a cab there, or if you live somewhat close to Blue Collar, walk there. read more
NPS = 10 I'll make it simple: If you visit Miami, you need to visit Blue Collar. It is as simple as that. EVERYTHING on the menu is fantastic. I have never had anything at this restaurant that is even mediocre. And all at reasonable value. The burgers are great and you can tell the staff takes pride in doing what they do. The best thing about this restaurant is that it keeps it simple. Every bite of every morsel of every meal has an explosion of flavor. I even recently went here for a business meal and ordered a simple grilled chicken sandwich. What i received is DEFINITELY the best chicken sandwich I have ever had in my life. The mac n cheese is to die for and so is the shrimp and grits. But every other review will tell you that. :) Things to watch out for is that parking is very limited and the place is VERY small. But that makes it great because the waiter/waitress will be very attentive. I dare say this is my favorite restaurant in Miami. read more

Was here on a Saturday night. Service was great. Our waiter was funny, helpful and provide great advice on the food. Had the macaroni and cheese as an appetizer. Excellent. Also had artichoke. Main entree was Eggplant Parmigiana which I loved. Came with pasta and the sauce was a little spicy. Enjoyed it very much. Ended with the key lime pie. It definitely was the best I have had. Definitely would come again. read more

believe the hype. I went 2x the same day. Happily. FINALLY I got to find out for myself. It started with Saturday brunch. They opened at 11 so we waited patiently til then. Got there right around opening time but they were not open quite yet. There was already a line 15 people deep. Two groups (including us) had dogs along (dogs are always a bonus). Its such a tiny little place but it has a great vibe. Service excellent as well. Panther coffee served in old skool thermoses. Adorable way to serve really great brew. I tried the veggie scramble thing - fluffy and full of fresh veggies. Served with side salad and some kind of walnut bread toast. Delicious. My friend had a breakfast sandwich, which was loaded up with a latke, egg, bacon, and something else in there. She subbed her side for the cheese grits. They have a huge list of vegetable side dishes, really great stuff, and you can sub any of them for your side for $1 more -- pretty dope. The meal was awesome and now I get why its so popular! They just do a really great job making awesome food. We ended up going back for dinner the same night, after a crappy experience up the street. This time I made a meal of 4 veggie sides ($6 each or 4 for $19). I went with the veggie fried rice, grilled artichokes, brussel sprouts, and spaghetti squash. All were delicious. Veggie rice and artichokes particularly amazing. We also had the latkes to start as an app, served with slightly spicy apple sauce. SO GOOD!! My friend had the parm-of-the-day, which was portobello. 2 huge caps served with angel hair pasta. huge portions of yummy fresh food. we couldn't finish any of it. It was awesome. Definitely go if you havent yet. this is one of my new miami favorites for sure. read more

So listen, do you know how good your food has to be for someone to take time out of their day to tell the whole world about it? I don't even like artichoke like that, and these guys were able to make even vegetables lick-your-plate good. The place is a bit small and parking can get a bit dicey, so small groups work best. Reservations are not required, but are recommend for brunch as it does get busy. The staff is friendly and attentive, and despite a full house that day, our food and service was not lacking at all. The prices are fair, the portions are generous, and the (Panther) coffee is bottomless. Do not leave without having the key lime pie. read more

DDD highlighted restaurant! We literally got her 30 minutes before they opened for breakfast first ones no wait so happy we did! place got packed fast wow. Be careful it's in a old run down motel it's easy to miss it. Service was good fast,menu was easy and simple to read not to to many options witch I like personally. My Beautiful wife got Artichoke Eggs Benedict she liked it only complaint she had was the bread was too hard. I had the duck confit Eggs Benedict duck was amazing so tender and my eggs were on point perfect. I 100% recommend trying this place once! read more

Really liked this place. We had a quick brunch here and ate outside. I didn't even get to see inside the restaurant but the food was really good as was the service. You would never expect to find a place like this in this area. That probably the only thing I didn't like about it. The brunch was really good. Amazing French toast. And I loved the sausages. Hope to come back again and try a little more of the menu, but over all really good experience. read more
Had eaten here last year but forgot all about it until a friend reminded me and we met to eat here again. Had a meal of the veggie platter - 4 side dishes. I had ordered the fries already and tried to add 3 more selections; the waiter told me I had to get 4 things since "the computer wouldn't recognize" the additional side - so a star removed for the extra side I ended up ordering. The veggie platter sides are huge - two people can easily share this and be fine. The waiter, who seemed to assume we were doing this before I also placed an order, didn't mention that and we both ended up with boxes to take home. I feel this is a part of a waiters job to share that unless he's angling for a larger bill. Overall the food was great -- fries, Brussels sprouts (very buttery), sweet potato mash (deliciously sweet!), sautéed kale (excellent though a bit salty) and roasted potatos (I think that's what I had - also strongly seasoned). The waiter was not good. But I will eat here again now that I know the tricks haha. read more

So I was so excited to go here for well over a year and couldn't convince the wife to bring the kids to that area... I happened to be down there and was alone and boy was she right. Aside parking lot having huge pot holes and muddy water and rocks everywhere - it had maybe 8 spaces in total! There is a near crime scene looking crack infested motel from the early 50s under some kind of construction. I heard that for over a year already and - could not believe that the business was actually open as it looks really shady. It was really small too only like 6 tables - not including seats on Biscayne blvd with the druggies and hookers yeah! Anyway I gave it two stars as the Potato Latkas were burnt on the outside and kinda raw on the inside. The oil also tasted old and burnt. The Mac -n- Cheese with rock shrimp and and bacon was like $25 dollars and pasta was underdone. Really disappointing! Maybe it was a bad day - but wow what a waste of time - I also got sick as a dog the next day - unsure if it was from the food - but certainly could be! read more
Blue Collar has been on my to do list for a very long time. Finally made it for lunch. While most places are moving towards smaller portions, Blue Collar IS NOT! and I love that. I love large portions! Food: - Mac with bacon- We started of with the mac n cheese (added bacon). The cheese used are fontinam cheddar, and parm. has a nice crust and PLENTY of bacon. They didn't skimp on the bacon, so kudos for that! Very rich and delicious mac n cheese! - The Corben- This sandwich is a main event dish. 2 sandwiches come per order. braised brisket stuffed between portuguesse muffins and a little bit of dijon mustard. A dipping jus comes on the side along with a potato latke and apple sauce combo. I loved the brisket, it's fatty and tender and the jus was awesome. The potato latke were like 2 little potato pancakes, paired well with the home made apple sauce. - The Big Ragout Sandwich- This sandwich was also a beast. A crusty bread is hollowed out and stuffed with a mixture of pork & veal shoulder, and brisket meat, topped with provolone and parmesan cheese. The sandwich is rich and savory.... and filling as hell! -Shrimp Po Boy - I had a bite of this one and it was good but probably my least favorite during my first lunch at blue collar. read more

Love this place and food and the people!! They are always so friendly and welcoming. I ordered the salmon Benedict and it was delicious. I also wanted ONE pancake, lol, and they said they couldn't do that. Later on, the chef came and said "I heard someone wanted one pancake." It was the nicest thing ever! 5 stars for Blue Collar! Enjoy! read more
