The 14 Best Breakfast Restaurants In Miami

"MLK is a Liberty City classic with a steady stream of regulars who all seem to be on a first-name basis with the staff. The menu leans Southern soul food with a little bit of a Caribbean seafood influence. Anything on the menu with the word “fried” in it is the move—especially the fried fish options. The wings and waffles are also really good. This is a big takeout spot, but there are tables inside in case you want to eat there." - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo, mariana trabanino

Service was really good. Felt like being at Nana's house and super down home. The value here is amazing. You get sizable portions for a reasonable price. Makes sense why the neighborhood comes here regularly. Several Ppl came in and were greeted by name. Food was tasty too. I got the smothered wings with home fries and pancakes with eggs and bacon. Wings were good and I forgot to take a picture. Came with gravy and onions over the wings. The home fries had bell peppers and onions mixed in. They were tasty too. I left feeling full and all the food ran me about 35 bucks. I got 2 large teas as well. All of it for under 40. I'd definitely come back no question.

This place should have at least 4.8 stars in my opinion. We had a super yummy breakfast (chicken + waffles, grits, fried catfish) and would come here all the time if we lived in Miami

Food was good! My order was simple today. I had pork chops and home fries with onions. Good flavor. The time wait was not to bad. The workers were nice. A little more organization when it come to take out would be nice. I will definitely come back.

My first time going to the new location only went to the old location a couple of times as well! I ordered chicken and waffles with a side of grits. It was ok, nothing special Grits were ok, not creamy Waffle was made with cheap batter! It was very dense and heavy, and to top it off, you get this cheap syrup that tasted like medicine! I poured over the waffle before tasting it, and boy, what a big mistake and only finished half the waffle it was so nasty!! The fried chicken was better they were seasoned! They had a sitting area, but it was not being used by customers, only folk sitting around talking! Loud chatter or something coming out of the kitchen as well but sent out nothing special! I dont think I'll be going back!

If I could give a NEGATIVE-5 for customer service from the young lady(Crystal I believe) in the front I would. She was rude, unprofessional, and needs to watch how she talk to customers in front of other ppl. I came in at 9:05am & left out at 9:58am. The young lady took our order, while talking to customers, on the phone, and just not attentive as much. So the kitchen apparently made a Mistake which is understandable however, the courteous thing to have done was make us aware of the fact that food was running behind. I walked up to the counter thinking our food was ready several times and even had asked she not once mentioned that a mistake was made and a fried salmon instead of steamed one was bring out. I overheard the older lady who takes the orders as well, mention the mistake which prompted me to ask The young lady, she dismissed it as if that didn’t occur and stated she was waiting for my bf turkey bacon breakfast, which clearly shows that our ticket was neglected. I also asked her for sliced cheese and after checking my food I told her that & she shockingly said “ when you told me y’all food was almost done, what u want me to add it now?” as if I wasn’t waiting almost an hour. I understand it is a fast moving environment however, be courteous and pleasant to the ppl who are spending there hard earn money in these TRYING TIMES to support a black business. I live in Miramar and came all the way there to feel like I was just another dollar. So please talk to her about professionalism and being from “OVERTOWN” has nothing to do with being respectful and courteous. On a better note the Food was DELICIOUS. Kisses to the Chefs 😘 worth the wait but not worth the disgusting dismissive attitude.

I had the pleasure of the Liver and Onions, which is not an easy meal to perfect! This was perfection! Additional greatness was the young adult at the counter who went above and beyond woth service, care, and concern! Kudos to her professionalism at such a young age!! Lastly, the Georgia Sausage was 💯 perfect blend of spice and flavor!

People park on the corner no respect they have plenty parking in the back. So many times they have almost been accident due to patron not following protocol. Also I have pancakes from there it was the best haven't been back.
