Chug's Diner

Long wait, but who cares when the food is this good. Fries were crisp and fresh, but the real star of the show was Phyllis' Broccoli Breakfast Hash. Seriously, probably one of my favorite menu items I've eaten in Miami in a long while. Deliciously crisp, cheesy, potato-y, and with full, earthy broccoli flavor, this hash is worth every penny. The sunny side eggs are the cherry on top! If you're here, please try this - you won't regret it.

Great food, service, and ambience, but beware they run out of half their menu by the time they close. I'm not exaggerating: they had to mark the few items that were left, and I even got my milkshake with no whipped cream. Plus the wait was so long that our (great) server told us the manager was coming to speak to us. We waited twenty minutes, then left. Guess they were short on managers too.

The customer service is next level here. I just ordered take out and wish I caught the guys name at the register. He was nothing but good vibes and made you feel so welcomed. I haven’t had customer service good energy like that in a long time. I had to tip him even with it just being a take out order and not even trying the food yet.

THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE PLACES TO GO FOR A SUNDAY BRUNCH. I've been to Chug's many, many times, and I never, ever had a bad experience. The decoration takes you to a charming Havana with all those old french elements to the details. Once I get there, I always order the coffee with steamed milk. That takes me back to my childhood in Brazil. On the food side, I think I had almost every item they have on the menu but I always have to order the CAST IRON PANCAKE ($17) to share with the table. The pancake is tall and remembers a vanila cake. It comes already with the syrup on the plate. Last time I went there I tried the PHILLIS BROCCOLI BREAKFAST HASH ($16) and this dish is now my number two on their menu. It is a mixture of broccoli, potato, cracker, red onion and cheese sauce on a small pan with an egg on top, it's really good. The DUCK CROQUETAS ($8) it's also a must, and it comes with a side of orange and mustard type of jelly. If you are an avocado fan, you should try the AVOCADO SANDWICH ($15), or if you just want to have a usual breakfast, LA COMPLETA ($15) is what you are looking for. They serve it with a Cuban Tostada that is very light and crispy. The price is grate, and all the portions are very fulfilling. IF YOU HAVEN'T HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO VISIT CHUG'S, I HIGLY RECOMMEND IT!

It's a little loud for my taste. The food is great. The service is what makes this place great. I like the employees and you as a customer can tell that you are important to them. They are nice and add value to your order. I have eaten their burger, breakfast sandwich and had their coffees and cold brews. In my opinion they are a little expense, but it is probably normal for them to be in this price range to stay in business with the rise in inflation and the fact that we are in Miami.

Well this was fun! I would call it traditional diner-fare with a higher end twist. It gets busy. Like very busy. So plan accordingly or get there early. We managed to snag a booth for four on a Saturday (no reservation) at 0930. I believe the menu recently changed, but everything we ordered was delicious. Vegetarian options available! Highly recommend!
