Miami New Times

This classic Art Deco Paramount dining car served up traditional diner fare in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, from 1948 to 1992, before being shipped and plunked down smack dab, and fittingly, in the heart of South Beach's Art Deco District. All the components of the American diner are here: a long counter that seats sixteen, red-and-white booths, Formica tabletops, 24-hour service, and a menu replete with burgers, Buffalo wings, barbecue ribs, BLTs, blue-plate specials, and brownie hot fudge sundaes, most of which the kitchen prepares with a surprisingly deft touch.

It's all over you, that great stink of South Beach called pretentiousness. Your only hope is to step into the down-home oasis that is the 11th Street Diner. The tackiness of Ocean Drive hasn't seeped into this retreat where comfort food with retro flair has been served since 1992. The Airstream-style aluminum façade suggests authenticity, and the diner delivers. Frequent coffee fillups, shiny red booths, all the quintessential diner-ness is in place. What makes the 11th Street Diner... More »
There is a moment in the night, usually after the clock passes 3:00 a.m., when if awake, the body hits a crossroads. Either go to bed or push on to the dawn's first light. If the choice is to forgo sleep, sustenance is usually a must. For a hot meal there is no better place than the 24-hour 11th Street Diner. Whether it's pancakes or fried chicken, the diner serves quality food at reasonable prices. An added bonus for late-night owls is the possibility of a celebrity sighting. The proximity... More »
