"Winner of the 2025 South Beach Wine & Food Festival’s Burger Bash, Skinny Louie is a burger joint with a 1950s diner vibe, which quickly became a local favorite for its straightforward yet flavorful menu. It offers just three smashed burgers — the classic, the applewood bacon, and the signature Skinny Louie cheeseburger, along with fries, sodas, and milkshakes. However, its limited selection hasn’t deterred diners with lines out the door all day and all night. Best for: Smashed burgers and late-night cravings" - Stacy Moya
"Skinny Louie’s has the longest lines of anywhere on this guide. But despite the deluge of influencer hype that’s trying to tell you otherwise, this isn’t Miami’s best smashburger. The edges of the patties aren’t as crispy as we’d like, and the burgers are so greasy that bun sogginess is an issue even if you’re eating there. This just isn’t worth waiting in line for at all—and especially not now that Cowy Burger is waiting for you across the street." - mariana trabanino, virginia otazo, ryan pfeffer

"Skinny Louie is a casual smashburger spot in Wynwood with a straightforward menu. They only have three burgers plus fries and shakes. This isn’t Miami’s best smashburger (despite the deluge of influencer hype). The edges of the patties aren’t as crispy as we’d like, and the burgers are so greasy that bun sogginess is an issue even if you’re eating there. But greasy burgers do have their value, and thankfully this place stays open very late. So keep it in mind for a final meal after a night of bar hopping in Wynwood. It’s mostly a takeout spot, with people grabbing their bags of burgers to-go. But there are a couple of counter seats and an outdoor patio where you can sit and eat—just grab about 16 napkins." - Ryan Pfeffer
