Averaging 3.5–4.1 stars across thousands of reviews (including 4.1/5 on Tripadvisor from over 2,800 reviews with Travelers’ Choice 2025 status, and around 3.5 on Yelp from 2,500+ reviews), guests praise the generous portions, fresh and flavorful comfort food (standouts include pancakes, waffles, burgers, mac and cheese, cheese fries, and TV dinners), fun retro atmosphere, friendly/attentive service, outdoor seating (great for mornings), and reliable late-night/early-morning access in South Beach. The massive menu variety and nostalgic diner energy make it a beloved spot for groups and casual hangs.
Common complaints center on higher beach-area prices, occasional service inconsistencies (grumpy staff or slow times), variable food quality (some items lukewarm, greasy, or average), cleanliness/maintenance issues (worn decor or sticky spots), and billing hiccups in rare cases. Recent 2025–2026 feedback shows sustained love for breakfast and portions but notes some quality dips amid high volume.
A South Beach staple for nearly 30 years, Big Pink has earned multiple Miami New Times awards (including Best Diner, Best Breakfast, Best Late-Night Dining in past years, and recent Best Restaurant Miami Beach nods), plus enduring recognition as a top spot for amped-up diner fare in Miami's premier food scene. Whether for a massive breakfast post-beach, late-night burger run, or soaking up the kitschy retro charm, it's the ultimate destination for gourmet comfort food and late-night dining in South Beach.
