    This place is average at best. It's convenient to the area but overpriced for the food. You will likely wait a while for a simple breakfast sandwich, which I'm not sure how considering there's a full kitchen in the back. We were the only people here and waited a bit for the sandwiches. FYI it's also only outdoor seating. Kind of disappointed in this place compared to other Chugs. I now understand the other low star reviews.... BUT THE COFFEE IS SO GOOD

    Conveniently located in the heart of the Miami World center. Amazing service and they now serve brunch on Sunday. The guava pancakes are a must.

    Ordered a ricotta toast. Paid. Sat down. 5 minutes later: sorry we no longer offer that item. Whoever owns this place does not care.

We were able to get a few spots at the counter for the classic diner experience. The ambiance and history of the place is neat, with it being a real diner train car that was converted over the years and brought to South Florida. People have been eating in the structure for a long time! Overall, the food was tasty. Everyone was really happy with what they ordered. The burgers were larger and not the small patty type, and there were more than enough fries to have something left over by the end. Service was quick, which is one advantage of sitting at the counter. It can be a fun stop on any trip. Five stars!

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.

Part of our group showed up about 8-10 after us and was serviced their hot food before me and my wife. She got a wrap and I ordered a burger. After wait and see other customers and the rest of our group of 16 people get their food. I finally asked where our food was. We were told they were waiting for the burger to defrost. Defrost? Really even so other people in our group got burgers and before me. I waited a little longer and was finally over it. I just wanted my money back. They then brought a burger and it was not even the right burger order. Plus they had not even prepared my wife's chicken wrap yet. The outside seating is nice and food maybe good but the service is horrible. They never apologized for it just kept making excuses.

Nothing pretentious, nothing overworked. Just solid, crave worthy dishes that remind you why simple food done well is hard to beat.

The mozzarella sticks were hard and cold in the middle the cheese was borderline still rock solid. The loaded fries were actually pretty yummy it had cheese and bacon, even the fountain drinks tasted super funky like the syrup went bad in the machine or something but all the sodas had this same weird aftertaste, everything else was atrocious.. The service was good the gentleman that was serving us was very kind and attentive to us so I definitely have no complaints about the service, and the ambiance is very retro American diner type of thing going on.
