I love Chug's diner. Everything about what this restaurant delivers, feels like a hug to me. I've been a fan since Chug's 1.0 but this review is specifically for my recent visit where I tried one of their new specialty coffee drinks. The Chug's iced cafe con leche kept a number one spot of my favorite iced coffee in Miami for many years, and I think this weekend their new Coconut Vanilla Latte with cold foam has secured the number one spot in my iced latte roster. I take my iced latte choice seriously, as it is one of my favorite treats. This one was absolutely perfect. So good, in fact, that I ordered two! I also ordered the harina con huevo for breakfast. Now, there is something about harina con huevo that takes me back to childhood and reminds me of my mom, so this dish is pure nostalgia for me and it is delish. You can't really go wrong with Chug's. Since it opened, you won't ever find a breakfast time where it isn't busy. That's because they are doing something write - serving up good food and coffee, and if you're lucky tapping into moments of nostalgia for many of us born and raised Miami kids. In a city that is ever changing and growing, repping OG Miami is always appreciated by me. Oh and, their offering of 99 cent martinis throughout the week is also fire.
Great restaurant with a fantastic vibe! Chug's Diner offers a 100% enjoyable dining experience with both indoor and outdoor seating, plus convenient street parking nearby. They have great coffee options, and we loved the cast-iron pancake topped with butter. The fried cheese and bacon were the perfect appetizers to share with the family. The burgers were definitely the stars of the lunch! The spicy ramen was super tasty, and while the crusted snapper was a little too crispy for my taste, the accompanying salad was amazing. My little daughter loved her kids' plate--the "Abuelita's Choice"--which came with rice, chicken, and beans. Everything here is wonderful, and its great location makes it a must-visit spot in Coconut Grove!
Finally got to try Chug's Diner after seeing it all over TikTok, and it did not disappoint! The pancakes were incredibly fluffy -- exactly what I hoped for. The carnitas dish was decent, and the guava dish was a nice surprise. I tried the breakfast sandwich with extra cheese, but it was a bit too cheesy for my taste -- however, the original breakfast sandwich is so, so good. Definitely worth the hype!
This place is such a cute spot for brunch, although I think I'm more interested in their regular breakfast menu more, the entrees were more interesting. They also have a martini deal, from Wednesday to Sunday 6-7pm. We had a sizable group, the restaurant has been super accommodating with the arrangement as well, and our server was very attentive. We shared the cast iron pancake as a group and had individual orders as well. I definitely ordered with my eyes with the lechon hash and duck croquetas before even diving into the pancake. I especially loved the croquetas, not a huge fan for the hash but that's a personal thing not liking potatoes that much. I was able to take in a bite of the pancake, which was very fluffy, the syrup was surprisingly not too sweet. I've tried their shaken espresso and a cortadito, both have been great. Strong, not too sweet, perfect for a humid summer day. I think that's the biggest surprise for me, I thought Cuban sweets would be much sweeter. My group has also raved about the breakfast sandwich and harino con huevo (especially if you're vegetarian).
Food was delicious , service and ambiance were great. Although I waited an hour to sit, it was definitely worth it
Have been back twice and each time was downhill. This last time was really so amazingly disappointing. Like not even the same place. We started with the croquette...just bland and nothing. Then we had the big Instagram thing, the guava pancake. I was just a huge piece of...cornbread? Too much sweet syrup on the bottom, guava sauce on the top also too sweet. Just really not great. Had a granola bowl...weirdly tart, like lime. Not very good. Had Abula's platter. rice and beans, a piece of seriously over cooked chicken in a too sweet sauce, and a banana. The worst though was the turkey club...the turkey was just the worst possible, cheapest type of sliced turkey. Not even sliced deli meat. Like poorly packaged junky turkey meat. So awful. We will not be back.
I know this is a Miami staple but I have never gone until now (only have had the catering), it really exceeded my expectations. The avocado sandwich with queso frito was AMAZING. The fries were perfectly crunchy. Seating is limited inside, but they have a big shaded area with fans!
I arrived at Chug's around 9:30-9:45 and was able to get a seat at the countertop. Just walking up to the counter top and seeing what everyone was eating I knew I was in for a treat. It was cute inside, it had a very welcoming vibe. I started off with the Mongolian Beef Pastelito. Loved it. It reminded me of a Chinese food Cuban fusion. I would get this again, but I'm really kicking myself for not trying the Guayaba y Queso Pastelito. The Malanga Latkes were AWESOME. It came with a guava apple sauce and a saizon sour cream. These are must get when you visit. Thank me later. The Bao con Croqueta was great. The kimchi slaw paired great with the ham and shrimp croqueta. I also loved that it was in a bao. I'd get this again, but I really want to try the Duck. And you know I had to get the Cast Iron Pancake. It's legit, it's not just a viral menu item. It was soft on the inside and soaked up the syrup, the outside had a nice crust on it. The flaked sea salt was a nice touch. I'm STILL thinking about this pancake and I'm upset that I don't live in Miami because I would have gone back the next day for this. LOVED IT and you will too. I tried my friends breakfast sandwich. I don't remember which one it was, but it was terrific. I had the Short Rib Boliche, which was braised short rib, white rice and an egg. It was great, but honestly, with everything else on the menu I was just whelmed. Next time, and there will be a next time, I'm going for all new dishes because despite leaving there satisfied and full, I have food regret. They have a large menu and I don't think you can go wrong with what you order.
Small 30 min wait on a long holiday weekend. Service was fast despite busy schedule. Our server was super kind and gave us some recommendations which ended up being delish (the fries!!) The burrito is a really big size and was super tasty. The lechón was so tasty and the tortilla was perfectly crispy. I would maybe pass on the croquetas. Their sauce was amazing but the croquetas themselves were a bit too mushy. Fries were delish!
The pancake was the highlight of our meal and service was excellent. The pancake was thick warm and we loved the maple syrup on the bottom. It's setup to share around the table because it's more than one person could eat with a large dollop of butter and flaky salt on top. The Cuban was good but greasy since the bread was thin and my wife loved the avocado sandwich. We would go back and do drinks and the pancake again!
We got in early on Sunday which was nice, didn't feel like we were being rushed at all. The server was spot on with his recommendation of the lechón hash. And might be one of the best cortaditos I've ever had. This place is like fancy Cuban food served in a nicer Dennys. Can't wait to go back and try more!
I've been wanting to try this place due to the hype and let me tell you, I understand it. It truly is that good. The service was great and the food was delicious. It's not your typical Cuban dishes as I initially anticipated but it's their twist on staple dishes and drinks. We were also pleasantly surprised that it was happy hour when we arrived. To drink, I tried the Vanilla Carajillo, which is their take on espresso martini, and it was delicious. I'm not much of a coffee drinker but I enjoyed this drink. Between 6-7 pm, they have 99 cents martini. I ordered one and it was very strong, dirty and delicious. To eat, we tried a few dishes. We first started with Beltran's Bacon. It was the best thickest bacon I have tried. We also ordered the Bao con Croqueta and it was delicious. This twist to bao buns was very interesting but the flavors worked very well together. As the main entree, I had the Plantain Crusted Snapper and it was so tasty. It came with a lot of mojo onions, which I enjoyed. The snapper was cooked to perfection. As a dessert, we tried the Arroz con Leche Blintz and it was so tasty. I've never had anything like this and I loved it. The best way to describe it like a rice pudding in a crepe with fruits on top. I would definitely return to this establishment again and either order different dishes or repeating the ones I tried already because they were that good. The service was amazing as the ladies kept checking in on us. We did have to ask them to replace a cup as there was something in it and they immediately did it. We were there talking for a few hours and not once did we feel rushed. They also provided some amazing suggestions from the menu and I'm glad we listened to them because everything was delicious. I absolutely love when the hype is real for places like Chug's Diner.
If you're walking through Coconut Grove and feel like a sweet coffee treat, the iced café con leche is delicious! You can stop in, order at the counter, and take it on your walk. Or, you can stop and pick one up on your way to the beach! We also love the cozy diner feel of Chug's in the bustling area.

The food at chug's was good, but not anything spectacular. The pancake was fun and made for a good picture, but at the end of the day it's just a thick pancake. I think the lechón hash was the star of the show here. Overall the service was really good and the vibe of the place was nice. If you're in the area I would swing by, but it's not something I would drive out of my way for. read more

Food was amazing!! I will be coming back to try other plates. Our service was great as well. He suggested the most popular plates as it was my first time there. Cute spot. Felt like a diner. Pancake can feed up to 4-6 people. Took some home and was able to air fry it. Still delicious the next day. read more

A very cute brunch spot that has a more modern and Cuban diner-style aesthetic. We went 1 hour before closing on a Monday so we were able to walk right in. The main reason we wanted to come is because we heard about their cast iron pancakes. This thing was huge!!! It could easily feed up to 3-4 people. While I'm not a huge pancake lover, I have to admit that this is a contender for the BEST pancake I've ever eaten. Because of how it is made in a cast iron skillet, you get this beautiful crisp outside but with all the fluffy pancake on the inside. In fact, the inside of the pancake was so moist and almost creamy-like that it reminded me of a cross between a pancake and cheesecake when it comes to texture. Absolutely a must order since it's so different and unique. I also got the Lechon Hash which was excellent too! It seemed like a humble hash, but digging through it, the flavors were savory and also a little sweet. I love the added dill on top as that added even more to the dish. The lechon was moist and flavorful too. Chug's diner is well worth a stop! read more

Still a five star from me. Their flan is the BEST!! Words fail me to sum up to do it justice. But I will throw some descriptive words out there, for you to get the vibe - Smooth, decadent, luxurious, heavenly, naughty, silky, authentic, addictive (you get the picture?) .....If you go to Chugs and happen to be lucky enough to sample one, please hit me up and let me know YOUR verdict. Also, I sampled their 99 cent happy hour martinis. You have to purchase a food item for this speciality. Not my fever with regards to taste, but if you want to get a buzz on, and start a drunken night, I recommend! read more
If you are looking for an iconic Coconut Grove restaurant, I present to you Chug's Diner, a critically acclaimed Cuban-American diner founded by Chef Michael Beltran. It first opened in 2019 as a pop up before expanding into a full-service, 70-seat restaurant in September 2021. Chug's is known for its Michelin Bib Gourmand status highlighting restaurants that offer high-quality, delicious food at a great value Chug's menu fuses traditional American diner fare with the flavors of Cuba. I decided to grab lunch after the King Mango Strut Parade. I found seating at the counter but they have comfy looking booths, tables, and outside patio seating too. The menu is broken into sections for brunch, croquetas, pastelitos, snacks/picadera, salad and platters, entrees, sides, and handhelds. A counter in the restaurant sells breakfast sandwiches, pastries, coffee, and beverages to take out customers. I ordered the Diner Burger with lettuce, pickles, Chug's sauce, and American Cheese along with a side of fries. It was a large and satisfying portion of food. I especially appreciated the friendly and caring employees. My server made sure I had plenty of water before my meal came which I really appreciated since I suffering the effects of the heat from the parade. Nothing says Miami more than Cuban cuisine. I think you will be pleasantly surprised by the twist Chug's puts on it. read more
"Tami in Miami" brunch series review! Who doesn't love brunch? Perfect cheat day indulgence with your special friends & loved ones. Today we tried Chug's in Coconut Grove, and SO glad we did! Yep, It's a wait and parking was a b*tch, but we finally lucked out after a few passbys with a great space out front. No RSVP for brunch, so we got on wait list and strolled around the beautiful grove. All good! After about 25 mins, we got a table. Place is comfy & cute, lively. Floors are cement, upscale "diner-esque." Staff is great, menu selections unique and amazing! Don't be shy about asking for recommendations or looking at Yelp photos. WOW!! We got the famous HUGE-mongous pancake, the likes of which I've not seen. Like an actual CAKE size, and we added banana slices & chocolate. It's the perfect moist, yet still fluffy texture, baked like top/outer, sitting in a pool of delicious syrup and yet, not soggy?! SCORE-great choice!! We Could not finish it together. I also tried the chocolate shake and fries--worth it! It's for dipping the perfect light crispy bistro fries in thick chocolate shake. Yaaaassss-brunch nirvana. Hubby got a meal and Americano coffee, pictured here. He loved it, minus the eggs which he said were not cooked over easy to his liking. Oh, well. Not my eating experience, so I can't comment. *Pet peeve: I never like a $4 ice tea that doesn't come with complimentary refills, AND it was small. I also knew enough to ask, so as not an unpleasant surprise afterwards!! Ugh, really? Just charge an extra dollar or two guys and give refills!! Minus 1 star If you want a delicious, fun and fantastic brunch experience, check out Chugs diner! Thanks for following me, Happy 2026!! read more

Food was excellent! Really tasty and I loved the ambiance. What really stood out for me was Sarah's warm hospitality. I let her know it was my first time visiting and she walked me through the best options to order. Her recommendations were perfect. Definitely coming back when I visit Miami again! read more
Had an amazing experience at Chug's Diner in Coconut Grove. The food was packed with flavor and perfectly captured that Cuban-American comfort food vibe Miami is known for. Everything tasted fresh, from the pastries and croquetas to the main dishes, and you can tell a lot of care goes into every plate. The atmosphere was lively, welcoming, and had the perfect mix of neighborhood diner charm and modern Miami energy. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made the experience even better. Whether you're stopping in for breakfast, brunch, or dinner, this is one of those spots that keeps you thinking about your meal long after you leave. Definitely worth the visit and I'll be back again soon. read more
The good part - the food was very good. I get why they had the Michelen nod. The iron pancake was a carb of sweet and savory goodness with the salted butter and syrup. The latkes were crispy outside and soft inside and on point with the seasoning. The breakfast sandwich was a winner. The breakfast burrito was solid with great sauce. (TBH The regular breakfast plate was meh but tasty). I would want to try more things on the menu BUT: The what is going on here part - service is not good. As in we had to physically leave our seats to get water several times. And check on our coffee order multiple times. (It came AFTER our meal was done and five reminders). And retrieve standard table items like sweetener and drink menus etc from the bussers station. Our waiter was friendly but the hosts/runners were doing the absolute least. We bussed our own table. The scan to pay and split the check was a nice touch. It made leaving with our just arrived coffee a little easier. read more

Place was very cute in terms of decor, but food was not good. I'm Cuban, raised on typical cuban dishes, ordered the Abuela's Plate (white rice, black beans, and pork) which is a cuban staple plate and it lacked flavor. The pork lacked seasoning and the rice and beans was very bitter. Go to la carreta or versailles if you want traditional cuban food. read more

An excellent brunch spot that served a variety of Cuban classics with modern twists. The Lechón Hash has to be the best spin on a breakfast bowl. I've been a few times and tried several dishes, and they always impress. This time, I had the breakfast slam which was fully loaded with flavor. They just don't serve boring dishes. Their famous pancake is a must-order. This place gets packed for weekend breakfast/brunch so make sure to arrive early. We had to wait over an hour, and the service was slower this time but the food made up for it. read more

Location is very well taken care of and decorated in a very welcoming lighthearted fashion. The food was great to good. Not everything was at the same level, pancake was insanely good, tried the 50/50 croqueta and the lechon hash. Both were very good but were not anything that would blow your mind away. The reason why this is a 3 and not a 4 is simple. The service. We were sat down. Handed waters. And had other tables sat down and tended to before we were asked if we wanted to order drinks. This amongst the couple of missed requests on the order is the only reason it's getting knocked down a peg. I'd definitely be open to come back and try more read more
I loved this quick diner spot! Our server was a sweet young girl who helped me pick the snapper. I loved the pickled salad it came with, but I think the fish needed a bit more seasoning itself? Loved their fries so much, I almost ate all my husbands. He enjoyed his patty melt 110% read more
Chugs diner is a wonderful haven in the middle of coconut grove. I love how they stay open later to make sure anyone coming to the grove has a go to spot to fill their hungry tummies. The food is good. You're not going to find award winning meals here. But you will find a friendly face, a clean comfortably restaurant and leave with a full belly and your wallet intact. Also shout out to the beautiful patio with the misters for the hot summer days! read more
Delicious food, and definitely see why this is a local favorite!!! We waited about 40 minutes at 1pm on a Sunday for brunch/ lunch. We ordered two pan con bistec which comes with their house fries and a matcha green tea latte with almond milk. The ambience was great we loved the music and the Cuban-American vibe. Highly suggest parking in the near by parking lot which is a block away. Highly recommend to anyone to check them out (: read more
Chug's is the place who's picture you will find next to the "Miami Diner" definition on the dictionary. It is the perfect mixture of comfort diner food you'd expect with cuban and latino influences that makes for one of the most unique dining experiences I have ever experienced. Theres a special emphasis on their sweets and deserts, as the arroz con leche crepe and the goat cheese flan were the most memorable and shocking plates of the day. Their mamey matcha is one of the clearest examples of hoe effortlessly and succesfuly they are able to blend unique latin touches with popular classics. And for a more expected meal from a diner, "la completa" with added ham and avocado makes for a hearty and delicious meal. All of this is complimented by one of the most amicable service experiences you can find in Miami, all with a cozy yet elevated diner setting that you'll only want to keep coming back to. I truly feel so passionately about this place and believe wether you're a Miami local or a visitor, you should come by and have a taste of their unique offerings. read more

The Thai latte was good, but I had 3 sips and it was gone. The pancake was so yummy it kept me full after 2 slices and the harina con huevo was seasoned well especially if you love grits. There is a wait though during brunch but the wait was worth it. read more
Chug's is a brunch spot in the heart of the Grove serving classic Cuban cuisine. The coffee is good, the food is good, the service is good; what's not to like? I got an iced vanilla latte with oat milk and a la completa for my dish. The food came out relatively quick despite being their usual state of busy. The potatoes were delicious and had perfect crunch, and the eggs were seasoned nicely and made just how I like. We also got their popular pancake to share since it's huge, and that was also soft and yummy. Overall, you can't go wrong at Chug's! read more
This restaurant is busy! We came for brunch last Saturday and there was a 30 minute wait for an inside table. Luckily for us, two people left and we were able to sit at the bar! We watch the barista make coffee and matcha while we caught up. We ordered the cast iron pancake, the Phyllis's broccoli breakfast hash and a side of chicharron. Two of us shared all 3 dishes! Everything was delicious! I really liked the pancake but I can't imagine eating one by myself. We even gave a piece to a guy sitting next to me as he had never had it. We also ordered two mamey matchas, which were incredible! Great company, great food and great atmosphere! They didn't even try to hurry us when there was along wait by the door. You can scan the QR code to pay by phone. read more
Food was pretty good here and they have an extensive menu with some unique options. The pancakes are a must try for brunch but beware they are huge!! It can be a bit of a wait to get in but worth it if you plan for that. read more
I went for lunch during the week and it was fairly busy. Thankfully, we were seated quickly and the waiter came to our table right away. The menu offers a good variety of options. I got the Cuban American sandwich with the salad, which was EXCELLENT! You could tell the food was cooked fresh and the dressing for salad was so good. Definitely will be back to try more items! read more
The reason I'm giving a four star review and not a five star is I wasn't please with our server and lack of attention. All "he" did was take our order, after that never saw "him" again. The food here is amazing and I will absolutely be back when I'm in the area. You can tell they take the food here serious and everything was absolutely fresh. Watching all the plates coming out I knew the food was going to be good. I will highly recommend this if you're in the area. read more
I have wanted to try Chug's Diner for a while, and I was finally able to find a day where it worked. I am so glad that day finally arrived. Chug's is the kind of place that screams comfort for food. There is nothing fancy here. Just beautiful, indoor and outdoor seating in a diner type atmosphere with excellent food and even better service. I must admit that, even in major cities like New York and Miami the parking gods smile on me. As is strangely usual for me, as I drove up to the restaurant on a busy Sunday morning, someone pulled out only steps away from my destination, leaving me a space to pull into. Walked up to the restaurant since they do not take reservations on Sunday mornings and put my name in. I was informed of the wait, which was not a problem because it was a beautiful day to walk around. I peruse the neighborhood, seeing other lovely restaurants and shops before being informed that my table was ready quite quickly. It was a gorgeous day to sit outside, but the first table that opened up was indoors, and it was kind of nice to enjoy the ambience of an old style diner. Perused the menu, which was quite nice, but told I could only order from the brunch menu, which was a little bit restrictive. We ordered La Completa with smoked salmon, a pancake with Nutella and bananas, and a milkshake and french fries for dipping pleasure. Everything was excellent. Service was over the top good. Really enjoyed it and will be back. I always feel I have to explain why I leave four stars instead of five at a restaurant that I love. In this case it is specifically because there was nothing creative about the pancake. They start with an exquisite preparation, but do nothing to make it extraordinary. For example, served with fruit compote and nuts or ice cream and sliced fruit or any other creative arrangement could really elevate the dish, making it both picture worthy and enticing to return to try more options. Despite that minor criticism, I really love this place and will be back and even try other meals here. Oh and don't forget to hold my parking space. read more

The food and service were good but they charge an extra fee for eating there on Sunday. It's not the amount, it's the principle, like hotels charging an extra "resort fee" for staying at their hotel. I don't recommend eating there on Sunday. No respect for businesses sneaking in extra fee's wherever they can. read more

Dropped by on a Saturday @ 4pm and they were closed with no notice. Have their hours changed?
Hi Roberto! Thanks for your question. Only for today we are closed due to a Collaboration dinner with Chef Michael Beltran x Chef Stephanie Izard from Chicago. This event is open to the public and starts at 5pm. It was posted on our social media…
Hi, I'm unable to call to place an order . Is the number on the website incorrect?
Unfortunately if the web number it's not correct you have to go in person. But so far I remember they dont do delivering
I've been wanting to place an order over the phone, but the phone number listed is disconnected. Is there a working number for this business?
No number right now. They told me they are working on it
