11th Street Diner

I had the poulet sandwich while I was here which was good. The roasted peppers on it were some of the best I've ever had, but the sandwich came out a bit cold and didn't stay together well. The sandwich came with chips but I wish I had upgraded to fries. I stole some from my friends plate and those were delicious. We had frozen drinks that were kind of bland. The food was good overall but I'm used to the over the top options and portions that you see in the North east. The breakfast menu did look really good.

The diner has indoor and outdoor seating and wasn't too packed on a weekday afternoon. It seems like a great place for families. Staff were attentive to our needs. Solid diner.

I have wanted to try this spot out for 12 years and now I finally have been. I LOVED IT. I loved the quirky fun interior. The service was top notch. The menu was vast. The food was typical of a diner and did not disappoint at all. We tried a blue cheese burger - fab, a breakfast - fab, an oreo milkshake - fab and a fried chicken sandwich also fab.

Also to be noted this is ANOTHER historical spot, for Miami! The car is art deco style.

I would have given this place more stars if the food wasn't so overpriced and the staff was so aggressive with their tipping schemes. They post an 18% gratuity and in fine print, they have written suggested below.
The food is decent, but you can get a better breakfast in a handful of places for a better price all throughout Miami.
It was cool to have breakfast in such a historic location, but I'd never come back.

The 11th Street Diner has been a South Beach landmark for 30 years. The diner is shaped like a classic car. This is the place to go for all American favorites such as thick juicy hamburgers, seafood, eggs, pasta, fries, a variety of delicious milk shakes and breakfast being served all day.

The service was awesome. That's a winning combo in our book! We literally dined here the majority of our stay in Miami. Every single item that we ordered was delicious. If I could recommend anything it would be the sweet potato waffle fries. They are to die for!

Walking down Washington we noticed this old school looking dinner and decided to give it a try. It was super busy so gave the impression and idea something amazing was happening inside.

Although service was friendly, quick and efficient the food wasn't memorable.

I also didn't like they weren't accepting Mastercard when we went.

Something to experience for sure but wouldn't do it again.

Excellent food and coffee. Great service too! Seated outside on a beautiful morning. The kids loved it, and plenty of gluten friendly options too.

Season 3 Episode 9 ... DDD ... Guy visits the 11th Street Diner & shares its heritage!!

It is an original Art Deco Diner from Wilkes Barre, Pennsylvania. It was built in 1948 by the Paramount Dining Car Company of Haledon, New Jersey and transported to Wilkes Barre, where it opened that year.
It continued serving traditional American food for 44 years, at which time it was dismantled and transported to the historic Art Deco District of Miami Beach. After many months of restoration work and with the help of the people of the city of Miami Beach, the Diner was restored to its original Art Deco design and opened on September 11th, 1992.

"Now a Miami Beach landmark, the Diner has been showcased in magazines, movies, music videos and TV food shows, including The Food Network's Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives. As they are entering their 28th year of operation, they continue to hope visitors enjoy a part of America's original history and classic traditional fare."

Guy enjoyed Apple & Raisin Pork Chops ... as did my hubs!

I had 1/2 of a turkey club sandwich! It was delicious!!

Bathroom clean ... Server polite, if a bit slow ... no internet while there - so cash only! 18% gratuity automatically added to bill!

Old school metallic train car diner. Full, varied menu, including some items of local interest, such as the "El Cubano Sandwich" (and some that are not, like the "Philly's Cheesesteak"). Deputy Yelper termed the Vermont Burger excellent, and I similarly approved of the Tropical Grouper sandwich. Nice choice of bottled beers, including many local brews, plus one local draft beer. Our server was very engaging, attentive, and helpful in making recommendations. Food preparation was not all that fast, but still was in reasonable limits.

So excited to eat hear but they don't take Mastercard, I have three Mastercards. I cannot tell you anything more about this place. Shame, I really wanted to try it.

Such a cute little Diner in an old Streetcar!!
This place was featured on Diners, Drive-ins and Dives .

We went for breakfast and was Not disappointed.
From the Eggs to the Bacon to the Grits to the Pancakes!!! So good.

Being from the st Louis area we did not like the coffee..way to bitter!! But drank it anyway with alot of cream and sugar..cause we needed our Coffee!!!

We also went back for the Boozy Shakes later that Night!!!
