The 25 Best Restaurants In Miami - Miami - The Infatuation

"Gramps Getaway is a place that’ll make you feel nostalgic about the old Miami, even if you weren’t around for it. Here, under the massive palapa that used to house Whiskey Joe’s, you’ll find a ‘70s rock playlist, sneakily potent frozen drinks, and creaky wooden floorboards spackled with decades of beach sand. But what really sets Gramps Getaway apart from every other waterfront foe in Miami is the outstanding food. Buffalo wings and burgers stand side by side with basil watermelon salad and skirt steak. Come here to enjoy a gorgeous view of the Brickell skyline, an impressive fried chicken sandwich, and get a good whiff of fresh saltwater without having to pay ridiculous prices or deal with a pompous crowd. Gramps Getaway can get slammed on the weekends. The nicer the weather is, the more crowded it’ll be. But most people don’t know that you can make reservations here. So book one and walk right past the poor souls waiting at the host stand." - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo, mariana trabanino
