    Really slammin burgers BUT the hype wasnt all there TBH! No frills... We loved the burgers and shared some fries. The service was great and the place was clean, not too many tables which kept it cozy so that was perfect! The wait wasnt long at all went on the "burger week or burger day miami", we ordered i think 5 burgers and shared them all and made some of them double burgers LOL! So overall its a good spot but the IG hype wasnt all there!

    Never eat here

    This place is empty for a reason. Good luck having good service here if you don't speak Spanish. Further more , Martha the manager was just rude from the beginning and there is way to many good restaurants in this neighborhood to be playing around with hungry people late night who are giving this unknown restaurant a chance. Wish I could show a pic of my food. Had to leave hungry and tired of waiting in an empty restaurant.

    Que delicia! It's my second time here and I got a breakfast sandwich. Last time, I had a burger- I can't remember which one but it was yummy :) great customer service, & NOT overpriced like most places on the beach. Thank you!

    I wish I could give a better review. So I went in and ordered four hamburgers averaging $18 each + loaded fries @ $10 x 2. Incredibly enough, they limited my $3.75 x 4 fountain refills of Coke to 2 times. at the end of the meal, one of my party could not finish the burger and asked for a little to go Box. They advised they would charge one dollar ($1) for a plastic to go box. Now this is the rub that makes someone never want to go back to a restaurant for Nickle and diming over a five cent (.05) fountain refill and a twenty cent (.20) box. My table had a view of the kitchen window and also incredibly enough the cook had to ring the bell two separate times and I watched my burgers get cold over about a 7 minute span. The owner was standing right there as well as our server and pretty much ignored them for other things until they felt like getting them. I understand a reasonable wait to finish what they are doing, but they literally ignored it. First rule of kitchen expediting is to get the hot food out to the table for the customer. I have no idea how this restaurant thinks they are going to make it with Burger and Shake four doors down teeming with customer service. I know this burger was Argentinian style, but I don't understand they did not ask how we wanted to cook it so they basically brought out a well-done burger that was chopped up. I'm not sure if they do that to tenderize the meat or if that's just how they prepare them. The food was decent enough, but the sourpuss owner was enough to make me never want to come back and never recommended. The server was a nice guy and I kind of felt sorry he had to work there. He was very courteous and advised timely that an additional tip was on my credit card screen, and that he had already been tipped on the bill. I hope the owner is reading this. Limiting someone to two fountain refills is ridiculous. This is the highest margin item you have there at $3.75 for a .05 soda that you already getting a 1000% markup on, and you don't use paper cups, so you were reusing your glasses. Charging a customer for it to go box is also a big no-no. If someone likes your food, good enough to take it home give them a box and not put a knife in them on the way out. I understand things cost money, but this was a total of $.25 and now you lost a customer and a good review. Good luck I'll be going down the street for my next hamburger.

    Our new spot for the most delicious hamburger!! We've lived in the area for almost 4 years and have tried lots of places around the Collins & 73-76 area. We used to go to Burgers and Shakes but decided to give this place a try and we absolutely love it! The service is so friendly, the beef patties are so tasty, the varieties are great. We usually get La Perla Negra for us adults and the little kids get the 3 mini-hamburger plate which is the perfect size for each. The inside seating area is a huge plus here in Miami where you crave a nice and cool spot when you're coming in from the heat. Well priced, and family friendly with Jenga and also crayons+printable for kids to color and keep them busy!

    Really good burgers! No frills. We thoroughly enjoyed our burgers and shared fries. Service was great! The wait is not long.

    Joke of a $8.50 burger
    James G.

    Very disappointing . Burger was quite a joke . One piece of bacon ? Lol maybe for $2-3 but no , $8.50 !! Salad was decent but no way made up for the burger ripoff . Service was meh , not great . Beware , tip was added on to bill , realized only after dumping another $3 on table . Grrrrr Pay attention to amount of reviews .... A great rating is useless with only a few reviews . By who , the owner , cook and waitstaff !!?? Go elsewhere .

Prices are par of the course on Ocean Drive, take that as you may. They also have the 20 percent automatic tip and a prompt to add more. I ordered a glass of Cab Sab to avoid a cocktail that's more mixer than alcohol and that was actually pretty good. The wine was nice and full bodied. Next up was my $26 Americano Burger with fries. The fries were nice and crispy, and I had them with more than a couple of the little packs that reminded me of elementary school instead of a squeeze bottle like I'm used to from other restaurants. I asked for bbq sauce to dip the fries, and got it after I was done with the fries so I used it instead with the burger. I asked for said burger with no pickles and medium well. While the temperature of the burger was as requested, the burger was overly salty and the American cheese seemed like the squeezable "cheese whiz" type. Also guess what offensive condiment was in the bottom bun? Yes the pickles! While I started to eat the burger keto style (without the bun) I left most of it. While the waitress said she had put the order as no pickle, maybe the kitchen messed up my request.

    Very long wait even with more than half the tables empty. Everything we ordered was dry and…read moreflavorless, except the French fries, those were the highlight of the meal.

    Cute lil place. They seen to have a nice schedule of weekly events. While on vacation my family and…read moreI had dinner here. It was their trivia night, I believe there was a $1500 pot if you win. Everyone seemed to be playing. We arrived to late to join. The place was packed yet there were only two servers. Our server was running around like a chicken with her head cut off. However she managed to keep up with out party of 9. There were times we were waiting for assistance however we could see she wasn't just sitting on her ass. We order burgers, flat breads, tenders and steak tacos. Steak tacos were horrible Burgers were delicious Flatbread were good Tenders definitely looked like they were frozen tenders from the grocer. The beverages were nice not too strong but not weak. We were kinda profiled however as a black person you get use to it. My husband and brother stepped out for a smoke break..although everyone else was still seated at the table. We watched security run out after them. We laughed cause they looked stupid. When security ran out there they pretended to be looking at something when they noticed they guys were right outside the door. Irish pub we didn't expect any less. However it was kinds funny how the guy darted out after them then aimlessly looked around after he realized they were smoking a cigarette ‍

    I wanted to write this place off as a touristy haunt given its location and its typical South Beach…read moreprices, but we had a really good experience here. I realized that I had not actually been to this location since it was The Playwright (or whatever it was called) 4 or 5 years ago. The updated interior is nice - very "pubby" - and they offer a good variety of seating from bar seats to high-tops to couches. Two things here that were standouts: First, the burger is one of the best burgers I've had on South Beach. So much so that I'm craving it again this morning. They've done a good job with the menu in that it still has all those bar foods that you look for in a place like this, but they've put some thought into elevating a number of items (e.g. the short rib poutine!) Second, the service was great. Our server (sorry, can't remember his name - a nice guy from Kendall) was very friendly and provided excellent service. As many reviews mention, this is definitely a place to watch a game. While we weren't there for this purpose last night, the TV setup is great and I could def see myself camping out there with a few beers on a weekend afternoon. As someone who lives in the neighborhood, I'll be back again for sure.

    Great nostalgia and drinks but their gratuity practice is a serious problem…read more I stopped by Wet Willie's out of nostalgia during my most recent visit. Years ago I'd come here after the beach, sit on the balcony, people-watch, and cool off with a strong, frozen drink. In that sense, the place is exactly as I remember, with cold drinks on a hot Miami day and a fun atmosphere. Unfortunately, the billing experience completely changed how I felt about our visit. When the check arrived, I noticed the suggested tip percentages were unusual (around 7%, 8%, and 9%). I was planning to leave my normal 20% tip, but then the gentleman behind the bar explained that a 15% gratuity had already been added and the listed percentages would be additional. To be clear: I always tip, and I generally tip well. But adding a gratuity without authorization or clearly disclosing it up front is a big deal. A tip is supposed to be voluntary, and quietly including one, especially in a setting where you're already prompted to add more, feels misleading and wildly inappropriate. That part honestly overshadowed the visit for me. The drinks and the memories are still there, but check your bill carefully before paying. I enjoyed the nostalgia, yet this practice alone makes me hesitant to return. This practice of discretely tipping themselves is borderline theft.

    I have been going here for years. It's always been a great place to hang out and have some drinks…read more Nice cool atmosphere located in South Beach. Service was outstanding.

    First and foremost, do not waste your time or money coming here…read more As a Miami native, I was genuinely disappointed by both the food and the level of service. Unfortunately, neither lived up to expectations. We started with the "jumbo" wings, which were anything but jumbo. We received only flats, and they were some of the smallest wings I've ever been served. After bringing this to the staff's attention, we were told the manager would take 50% off the order. However, when the bill arrived, we were informed that the manager had already left and the discount could no longer be honored. Instead, we were given only the $4 happy hour discount, despite being promised otherwise. For our entrées, we ordered the brisket sandwich and the half chicken. Neither was worth ordering. The chicken lacked the crispy texture it was advertised to have, and the brisket was bland and without flavor. The sandwich was also supposed to come with truffle fries, but instead we were served cold, plain fries. After mentioning it, the solution was to bring us a side of truffle oil and Parmesan cheese and ask us to mix it ourselves. The service was equally disappointing. We asked our server twice for drink refills, but she never brought them. We eventually had to flag down another server just to get our beverages refilled. Overall, this was a frustrating dining experience from start to finish. Between the poor-quality food, unfulfilled promises regarding the bill, and inattentive service, this restaurant fell well below the standard I would expect from a Miami establishment. I rarely leave negative reviews, but this experience deserves one. I sincerely hope management addresses these issues because the current level of food quality and customer service is simply unacceptable. and quality is embarrassing for miami.
