"Note: This restaurant is temporarily closed.Husband-and-wife team Chef Akino and Jamila West have been on a journey. What started out as a wildly popular brunch pop-up in Overtown and later evolved into an outdoor-only brick-and-mortar in Little River has now found a permanent indoor setup. The menu remains notably Southern at heart and covers a generous amount of ground. Deviled eggs with chicharrones, biscuits in guanciale gravy and fluffy banana pancakes with vanilla custard are primo brunch favorites. Heartier hits, like fried hot chicken and waffles or a generous fried fish and grits with collard greens, satiate larger appetites. All of it photographs as well as it eats. Tickets to occasional dinner parties sell out quickly and signal more good things to come from this successful duo." - Michelin Inspector
"Kudos to husband-and-wife team Chef Akino and Jamila West. What started out as a wildly popular brunch pop-up in Overtown has evolved into this permanent brick-and-mortar in Little River. The outdoor-only space is as breezy as they come with dangling garden lights and ample shade covering an expansive patio. The notably Southern menu covers a generous amount of ground. Deviled eggs with chicharrones, biscuits in guanciale gravy and fluffy banana pancakes with vanilla custard are primo brunch favorites. Heartier hits, like fried hot chicken and waffles or a generous fried fish and grits with collard greens, satiate larger appetites. Tickets to an occasional dinner prix fixe sell out quickly and signal more good things to come from this successful duo." - MICHELIN Guide
"Maybe the collective folks are early birds, or perhaps you just want to have the rest of the day to hug a pillow and compile notes for your therapist if this goes south. Either way, if it’s going to be a brunch thing, do it at Rosie’s. Nobody’s pounding mimosas and being loud here. It’s easy to have a conversation, if only about the outstanding food, which includes versions of southern American hits like fried chicken and waffles, biscuits, and shrimp and grits. They do take reservations too, so you don’t have to stress about a long wait that initiates a dad tirade that'll surely make everyone around you uncomfortable. " - virginia otazo, ryan pfeffer
"Rosie’s is the brunch you should actually make a reservation for. This is because it’s pretty packed on the weekends, but also because their menu of Southern dishes is worth arranging an entire day around. If you’re in the mood for something fried, go for Rosie’s chicken or crispy fish, which you can order with waffles, in sandwich form, or served over the best grits within a 25 mile radius. But even if you just want a photoshoot-ready omelette and a seasonal juice, Rosie’s works. It’s that rare special occasion brunch that doesn’t require waiting hours for a table and putting up with loud people who’ve had 13 mimosas." - ryan pfeffer
"If the production of brunch is starting to feel more like a chore than a pleasure to you, go to Rosie's. The Little River restaurant will make you fall madly in love with the meal again, even if you never even liked it that much to begin with. This is because the food here is phenomenal, and Rosie's makes the best brunch dishes in Miami. The menu revolves around Southern food, and both the sweet and savory sides of the spectrum are well-represented. You can get a gorgeous stack of fluffy lemon ricotta pancakes or fried chicken and biscuits that look like they just came back from a photo shoot. There are also cocktails, mimosas, coffee, and an excellent seasonal lemonade." - Ryan Pfeffer, Virginia Otazo
