Old Tom’s Sports Bar

5001 NW 36th St. Miami Springs, Fla.  

(305)-888-6022 

A wise, drunk man somewhere in some bar once said that the mark of any town is its sports bar. And judging by Old Tom’s, I’d say Miami Springs is a pretty good town. There’s no place anywhere else in Miami Springs, you’d rather watch the big game. It’s the perfect place to meet up with friends, grab a cold one, and unwind after a long week at work. Plus, the food is the quintessential definition of what bar food should be: unhealthy, fried, and ideally smothered with cheese or barbeque sauce. Imagine, your favorite team is playing, you have a cold beer in your hand, and there’s a massive plate of crispy golden waffle fries, smothered in cheese sauce and garnished with sour cream, bacon bits, and scallions. 

Crackers

78 SW Canal St. Miami Springs, Fla. 

(786)-518-3268 

There’s nothing like down-home, good Southern cooking, but in South Florida, that’s a little harder to find than you might imagine. However, if you live in Miami Springs, you’re in luck because there's Crackers. Crackers is true Southern cuisine at its finest, serving all the essentials: fried green tomatoes; soft, flaky buttermilk biscuits; crispy chicken fried chicken; spicy New Orleans style jambalaya; fresh pan-fried catfish; and of course, peach cobbler baked to absolute perfection. But that’s not all. Crackers also maintains the tradition of Southern hospitality. As soon as you walk through the doors, you’re home because the definition of home is a place where there’s good food and good people. And that’s Crackers

My Little Greek Deli

195 Westward Drive, Miami Springs, Fla. 

(305)-863-9857 

You may think you have to go to Greece for fantastic Greek food, but that’s not the case. Just drive down the street to My Little Greek Deli to experience real, authentic Greek food that even YaYa would approve of. Imagine the best spanakopita you’ve ever had: rich, creamy spinach artfully sandwiched between layers of golden, flaky phyllo dough. Crispy, fried calamari that’s been seasoned to perfection. Savory, juicy, tender lamb shank that cuts just like butter. Roasted potatoes that have been tossed in the perfect combination of lemon, olive oil, and spices. Traditional baklava drizzled with honey and topped with an assortment of crunchy nuts. If you’re not hungry yet, then don’t wait up because I know where I’m going tonight.  

Siamo


17 Westward Drive, Miami Springs, Fla. 

(305)-888-1300 

There’s nothing like good Italian food, and there’s nowhere better in Miami Springs to get Italian food than Siamo. You may think you’ve had authentic Italian pizza and gelato, but unless you’ve been to Italy, the chances are you haven’t had a dining experience like the one Siamo offers. Siamo specializes in authentic, traditional Italian cuisine, importing some of their key ingredients from Italy, flour from Napoli, prosciutto from Parma, and cheese from Pianura Padana. When you go, order the dolce pizza for a classic, quintessential Italian meal; it’s a tomato sauce-based pizza with mozzarella cheese, kalamata olives, feta cheese, prosciutto di parma, and balsamic glaze. Or for something a little fancier, try the Tartufo, a white pizza with mozzarella cheese, mushrooms, smoked ham, mascarpone cheese, and finished off with white truffle oil. 

Patio Tipico Restaurant Karaoke


4531 NW 36th St. Miami Springs, Fla, 

(305)-805-0855 

You’ve never been to a place like Patio Tipico Restaurant Karaoke, and if you have I owe you a beer. Because, the thing that makes Patio Tipico so special is that it’s an amazing restaurant, serving authentic, delicious Honduran food, andddd it’s a lively karaoke bar open until 2 a.m. It’s not often that you can have great food and a fun karaoke bar, but Patio Tipico managed to combine two of your favorite things seamlessly. Granted from the outside, Patio Tipico doesn’t look like much, but as soon as you take your seat, have a fantastic meal, and a couple of beers, the real show begins. Order the super baleada, the tamales, or the picada grande to get a sampler plate of a variety of Honduran appetizers. Then finish off with the decadent cuatro leches, have a few beers to gather your courage, and then get ready to put on the performance of a lifetime.
