Miami Beach’s Best Classic Restaurants


November 2, 2017

What makes a restaurant classic? Is it how long it’s been in business? The timeless menu offerings? Maybe it’s that feel that envelops you upon walking in. The following restaurants represent a few suggestions you may find invitingly “old school”.

Arguably Miami Beach’s perennial old school favorite, Joe’s Stone Crab has been around for more than 100 years. To this day, the restaurant steadfastly refuses to accept reservations, which makes finding a table a little tricky. It’s been rumored that former President Barack Obama dined on some stone crab prior to his debate back in 2012. Other major names that have experienced Joe’s Stone Crab include Jennifer Lopez, Madonna, and the late Muhammad Ali.

The aptly named The Forge in Miami Beach was indeed a fully functioning forge during the 1920s. It wasn’t until the following decade that it underwent a reinvention as a restaurant and casino serving names like “Ol’ Blue Eyes” Frank Sinatra, Jackie Gleason, and Judy Garland. Today, its wine cellar is legendary, attracting celebrities like Justin Timberlake and Beyoncé.

These two Miami Beach examples are among many old school restaurant favorites found throughout South Florida. What are some of the eateries you’ve enjoyed frequenting over the years?
