A long weekend in Miami calls for more than just sunshine and sand. It’s the perfect excuse to explore the city’s most crave-worthy spots—whether you’re in the mood for buttery lobster rolls by the ocean or great steaks in the Gables. Here’s where to eat while you’re living your best three-day weekend.
Bayshore Club
Celebrate Memorial Day Weekend the Miami way, with bayside vibes, bites, and beachy cocktails at Bayshore Club. Indulge in a luxurious brunch and stunning waterfront views from Saturday, May 24 to Monday, May 26. Dig into coastal classics like coconut popcorn shrimp, ceviches, and soft shell crab tacos while sipping from the curated cocktail and beer list.
Bayshore Club is located at 3391 Pan American Dr., Miami, FL 33133. For more information, visit their official website.
CJ’s Crab Shack
Nothing says Memorial Day quite like seafood by the water, and CJ’s Crab Shack delivers just that. This Ocean Drive staple is all about big portions, cold drinks, and zero pretense. Think crab platters, fried shrimp, and more—basically, everything you want after a hot day in the sun. It’s the kind of place where you roll up in flip-flops and leave full and happy.
Graziano’s
Graziano’s is where you go when you’re craving serious flavor over the long weekend. Their grill turns out some of the best steaks in the city, and the menu is packed with rich, satisfying Argentine classics. It’s perfect for that slower-paced Memorial Day meal—think empanadas, grilled meats, and a glass (or two) of Malbec with friends.
Ironside Pizza
If your Memorial Day weekend needs a break from burgers and beach bars, Ironside Pizza is where it’s at. The Ironside eatery cooks up crisp, chewy pies loaded with flavor, and the crowd is a fun mix of locals, creatives, and pizza purists. Bonus: the whole place feels like a leafy little oasis—ideal for slow afternoons or spontaneous pizza dates.
The Lobster Shack
With locations near the beach, The Lobster Shack is a go-to for beachgoers who want to keep it casual but still eat well. The lobster rolls are a must, but don’t sleep on the tacos, seared tuna salad, or their popular clam chowder. Swing by for a post-swim bite or stop in before heading out for the night—either way, it’s a win.
Stiltsville Fish Bar
Toast to the long weekend with a taste of the sea at Stiltsville Fish Bar. Nestled in the heart of Sunset Harbour, this coastal gem is serving up extended brunch all weekend long, from Saturday, May 24 through Monday, May 26. Unwind with favorites like crab cakes, shrimp n’ grits, and the Catch of the Day.
Stiltsville Fish Bar is located at 1787 Purdy Ave, Miami Beach, FL 33139. For more information, visit their official website.
