Established in 2012 as Miami's premier destination for contemporary comfort, Blue Collar is the labor of love from Chef Daniel Serfer ( New Times Best chef 2015), a Miami native. We offer an unprecedented selection of amazing meats and vegetables, served from a menu that allows you to customize your plate exactly how you want it. If you'd like to have a gut busting indulgent cheat meal, we got you. At the same time if you wanna keep it super light or even vegetarian/vegan, we can cover that too. Rounding out the menu is an exceptional selection of craft beers, and fine wines. Save room for dessert, our Heath Bar and Butterscotch bread pudding is legendary.

    Some of the best food at reasonable prices. Server and owner wonderful. Just know it’s very crowded in small space with no room at all.

    Wow, what a surprise! I'd heard for years about Blue Collar, and finally my wife and I were able to make it there. We went for lunch and took our 2-year old (which proved to be problematic). I wouldn't recommend taking young children. With that said, we will definitely return. We took advantage of their Miami Spice Lunch Menu which included an appetizer, an entree, dessert, and a drink. We had the cornbread and shrimp & grits for our appetizers. The corn bread was phenomenal but the herbed butter was next level! The shrimp and grits were perfectly done: fluffy and rich. Our mains were the crispy snapper and the griot. The snapper and asaparagus were perfectly cooked; the french fries were a little soggy for our 2-year old (she's a connoisseur). The griot was a) the first time I'd ever eaten any, and b) solid. Essentially carnitas but more moist, they were served with a perfectly spicy gravy which we put on everything (including the crispy snapper). I also had the Italian artichokes and fried rice. The fried rice, while heavily on the English peas, was perfectly cooked. The artichokes were grilled to perfection; however, there was way too much aioli drizzled on it. The desserts were hit and miss. We wanted the Key Lime Pie but they were out and actually arrived after we'd received our orders. I went with the chocolate cake; without mincing words, this should be eliminated from the menu. I've had better Betty Crocker versions or even Publix. This was not up to par for the restaurant. The bread pudding with spicy cream was awesome and made up for the failure of the chocolate cake. It was scrumptious. All in all, I'd say this place is a neighborhood gem and very special. Go with some expectations and most will be met. Quality eats.

    This maybe considered a dive because it's a small place within a motel but the food is fine dining. Straight up delicious.

    SMALL restaurant so it is hard to have an intimate conversation, we sat inside. Staff are all really nice and helpful. Food was OK. Sadly, I wasn't wowed. I wanted to be wowed since we drove from Broward to try the restaurant.

    Disappointing, especially for the price. Bland food. Poor kitchen timing. Tables weren’t set up with basics. Maybe a bad day to try first time, but won’t bother to try again. Too many good consistent spots around town.

    Personally, I wouldn't recommend this restaurant to a friend. Our experience wasn't great, but it's worth noting that others might have a different experience. We tried the Cuban spring rolls with a tasty mustard sauce and ordered a hamburger and ragout pasta. The hamburger was good, cooked to our liking, but the fries were a bit too salty. Unfortunately, the ragout pasta was underwhelming and salty too. We skipped dessert after seeing another table leave theirs mostly uneaten. Service was mixed, with two of the three servers being very pleasant, but one seemed a bit rude. He cleared our plates before we had finished our meal without even asking. In summary, the food was underwhelming, and the service had its ups and downs. The place might look better during the day, but at night, it lacks ambiance. Others might enjoy it more, but it didn't meet our expectations.

    My husband and I arrive decided last minute to dine here on Labor Day. When we arrived the general manager Adam rudely asked if we had a reservation. We said no and extra rudely said “It’s an hour and a half wait. It’s Labor Day you know…” we said no problem and went back to the car. Since we’re almost never in the area, I opened Open Table to see if there was a reservation for later and wouldn’t you know it. There was one in 20 minutes! We drove around and went back to the restaurant at our now reserved time. Adam didn’t even remember us and told us we had to wait for a table to be cleaned. While waiting a father and son pair arrived. Adam asked if they had a reservation which they replied they didn’t and he said is just 2; like my husband and myself, we can seat you. So we were seated at the same time and not given any attitude from Adam. In addition, they received their food before we did. The oxtail, chocolate cake, and bread pudding were amazing! Great Miami Spice deal as well. Too bad Adam was an A hole and ruined the experience. Not sure we will be returning. There are too many fine establishments to beg someone to take our money. By the way, my husband and I are black and the father son duo were white…

    This was the best meal my wife and I have had on a date ever. Period. The snapper and bread puddings are must haves and their drink selection is great so if you’re going for dinner I’d recommend the Miami spice so you can try a bit of everything.

    Noise and ambience have to take a day since we were outside, which was actually comfortable temperature wise but as it’s right on the spin Boulevard, it’s real noisy. The food is dependably delicious and last night was no exception. The shrimp and grits appetizer, and the barbecued spareribs Were great together. My friend had the comforters and they were terrific as well. Dessert and wine were included in the $45 Miami Spice menu, which makes this an amazing value. Service was friendly and you’ll get higher marks, but I’m not upset over it because I was happy to see that the restaurant business was so successful with all the good write ups , but they’ve stopped taking Uber eats and takeout business just to be able to deal with diners. This is a real jam and the fact that they were so busy early on a Sunday night reassures me that they’re going to be here for a long time to come.

    Although this restaurant seems to have some great reviews, our experience was that the food was flavorless and very pedestrian. It might have been because they were overbooked for Miami Spice and unprepared for the volume. However I feel they should have anticipated that and planned to prepare meals on par with their usual offerings. Very disappointed.

    Horrible atmosphere! If they had A/C it was poor. We asked if it could be made cooler and we were told “no”. It was 95 degrees outside and maybe 85 degrees inside! The room is VERY SMALL and the kitchen area is open. There were 2 servers working. We were 5 people and our meals came out one at a time, each delivered 5-10 minutes apart! Other tables around us had similar service. Food was ok. I do not recommend this place,
