A Slice of Dominican New York... Right Here on Miami Beach…read more I've been coming to Ocean Deli since 2020, and I honestly can't believe it's taken me this long to write a review. Maybe because people from New York know one universal rule: when you find a great neighborhood spot, you keep your mouth shut. You don't want your hidden gem becoming the next place where people wait in line because somebody on social media "discovered" it. Ocean Deli is one of the last authentic neighborhood delis left on Miami Beach. In a city filled with luxury hotels, trendy brunch spots, and restaurants charging resort prices for breakfast, Ocean Deli quietly does what it's been doing all along--serving great food, quickly, and at prices that still make sense. This is where the people who actually keep Miami Beach running come to eat. Hotel employees, construction workers, delivery drivers, city workers, first responders, and the locals who somehow managed to survive Miami Beach's rising cost of living. If you want to know where the real locals eat, this is it. The owner is Dominican and from the Bronx, and that New York Dominican bodega culture is written all over this place--in the best possible way. Walk through the door and you'll swear you just landed in Washington Heights or the Bronx. Bachata and merengue are playing in the background. The smell of fresh café con leche fills the room. The grill is always working. Conversations bounce around the deli like you've walked into someone's neighborhood hangout instead of a business. The ladies behind the counter are unmistakably Dominican--friendly, hardworking, efficient, and they keep the line moving without ever losing that neighborhood feel. The sandwiches are outstanding. Fresh bread, generous portions, and made the way sandwiches are supposed to be made. No unnecessary gimmicks. No tiny portions with fancy names. The café con leche deserves its own mention. Strong, smooth, and exactly what coffee should taste like. If you've spent any time in New York's Dominican neighborhoods, you'll recognize it immediately. The Dominican breakfast and lunch plates are equally impressive. Simple, authentic, flavorful comfort food that fills you up instead of emptying your wallet. Speaking of wallets... Ocean Deli might be one of the best values left on Miami Beach. While restaurants a few blocks away are charging you like they flew the eggs in first class, Ocean Deli is quietly serving quality food at prices that remind you Miami Beach wasn't always built just for tourists. Just know what you're walking into......This isn't a sit-down restaurant. You walk in, place your order, take your receipt to the register and pay. Then you wait a few minutes while the grill works its magic. When they call your order, you grab your food and you're on your way. That's how it's done here. Fast, efficient, and without all the unnecessary fanfare. Ocean Deli isn't trying to sell you an "artisan culinary experience." It's selling great sandwiches, authentic Dominican food, excellent café con leche, fair prices, and a little piece of Dominican-York right here on Miami Beach. Some places sell an image....... Ocean Deli sells breakfast and lunch. After six years of coming here, I wouldn't have it any other way. Just do yourself one favor: when you find yourself surrounded by tourists paying resort prices for an average meal, remember there's still one place on Miami Beach where the locals go. Now You Know

Bagel Bar East is a popular North Miami deli for brunch. Parking can sometimes be challenging, and…read moresometimes there's a wait to get a table, but only sometimes and usually not too long or challenging. It's casual and comfortable with efficient service for a filling meal of your deli favorites... over-stuffed sandwiches, matzoh ball soup, fresh bagels and eggs, almond crusted French toast, matzoh Brie, blintzes, and the list goes on. The deli special, Reuben, and any sandwiches with brisket or corned beef and coleslaw are some of our favorites. I got pancakes here once and that's probably the only thing I wouldn't get again... super dry. Stick to the delicious French toast instead. We like the low salt Bagel Bar uses in dishes that other restaurants typically make way too salty. Just good food without needing to hide behind salt. On nice days, the patio gets filled up, but it's often too hot and we're more comfortable inside, either at one of the tables or bar seating. We've also stopped here a few times to grab a matzoh ball soup or baked goods like a fresh baked black & white cookie to go. You can generally expect to pay around $17 per meal, and you can definitely expect to leave completely stuffed, sometimes with leftovers to take home.

Just ok... nothing special. Had the pastrami Sam sandwich on rye. The rye bread was very stale…read more And the pastrami was average. The pickles and slaw were tasty. The interior looked old and worn out. The good news is they are moving to a new location, across the street in July. Our server was not the most attentive. The restaurant was slow and I had to flag him down or go get him when we needed something, like to-go boxes. When I told him the bread was stale he was nice enough to bring me 2 more slices of stale bread. We do not live in the area and to not plan to return anytime soon.

This restaurant is so bad I redownloaded Yelp to speak my truth. If I could I'd give a ZERO star…read morerating. Consider that one star a gift to my server Julie who provided nothing but excellent service with a smile on her face. First introductions are everything. My partner and I were dismissed completely by the manager who was too busy chatting it up with solicitors. Not even a simple "I'll be right with you." Julie caught wind of this and immediately swooped in. The menu is pricey but I assumed that the portions would make up for it. This assumption was correct, but my food's presentation was the equivalent to what you'd serve a dog. I ordered the egg salad club with a side of fries; if you're searching for an establishment that cooks with love just leave. The egg salad was unseasoned and I'm unsure that half-smashed boiled eggs constitutes as egg salad. The fries were piled on top as if a tired teenage McDonald's worker was cooking it up in the back. My partner also agreed that their tuna melt was unseasoned. As we were leaving we decided to take a peek at the baked goods. In a final attempt to give this place the benefit of the doubt, we eyed a delectable looking chocolate chip cookie. I called over the employee behind the bakery counter to which she begrudgingly trudged on over. I took another look at the display to solidify what I wanted, but I noticed something unappetizing. FLIES. Not one fly, multiple flies having their way with the baked goods. We told her never mind and left the establishment. Never again will I step foot in this atrocity.

Stopped by Wolsen Caffè this evening and it honestly feels like a hidden gem in Sunny Isles…read more Service was excellent--quick, very polite, and genuinely welcoming. You can tell they care about the experience. But the real standout is the Portobello burger. Instead of a traditional bun, they use Portobello mushrooms, and paired with a glass of wine, it's easily one of the most delicious things I've had in a long time. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for something a little different and really well done.

You walk in and there's generations of photos on the walls and employees that have been there since day 1. Food is always consistent and that's not something you come by these days. Salads are loaded on the table like you walked into an Israeli grandmas house and you can't beat the price for what you get. Screw the mainstream places that charge an arm and a leg that don't even bring you back to your roots. Go and enjoy what it's really like to feel well fed and at home

Fantastic sandwich with incredibly nice staff! No wonder Franky's Deli was the top rated sandwich…read moreshop on Yelp! When I went it was packed, but that was a rush and then it became a little calmer. They do order ahead and delivery which is great. I had the Philly Cheesesteak and it was delicious. Not exactly like what you'd get in Philly, but it extremely enjoyable as a local take on a classic sandwich. Everything is made fresh and the staff there are truly one of a kind! It's a small place in a strip mall type area, and it's absolutely worth stopping by Franky's Deli!

We started with the kids pancakes for our baby and if he could type he would be as excited as I am, they were delicious and he devoured them!

Seasoning on both sides OVERFLOWING with fillings I mean these bagels were the greatest bagels we've had in a looooong time!! The atmosphere is amazing in here, you hear every accent you feel at home and the owner main waitress was a RIOT! She knew her customers and had peoples regular ordered memorized, she was impressive! Every person in there was friendly and made it such a nice time to eat and relax even with our baby. Amazing spot and will be going back every morning until we leave!
