I met Blue Collar Restaurant‘s Chef Danny Serfer a few years in the past at Sakaya Kitchen (Midtown Miami) when he was working with Chef Allen Susser. After a quick stint at fifteenth Avenue Fisheries in Ft. Lauderdale, Danny moved to New York.
Danny set his sights on opening his Blue Collar Restaurant when he returned to Miami. The spot he discovered on Biscayne Boulevard would usher within the reputation of the then-burgeoning MiMo a part of Miami.
I additionally beloved that the situation was proper subsequent to the place KINGDOM was as soon as upon a time.
A couple of weeks earlier than opening, Danny emailed me a replica of the Blue Collar menu and requested for my ideas. I wasn’t offered on many fundamental dishes, however the starters appeared nice.
It seems I used to be manner off the mark trigger he nailed it. And that’s completely tremendous trigger I’ve by no means been happier to be fallacious.
Contained in the New Blue Collar
In late June 2024, the Blue Collar Restaurant moved to a a lot bigger location throughout the road. The brand new house additionally introduced with it the addition of cocktails. Marcela selected the Serf’s Up (Bacardi Black, Triple Sec, Amaretto, Lemonade, Pineapple, and Grenadine) whereas I caught to a fountain of Coca-Cola in a flowery glass cup.
The Matzo Ball Soup was Marcela‘s starter of selection. I’m not a lot of a soup man, however she loved it.
Chef Danny Serfer hand-delivered the Cuban Sandwich Egg Rolls whereas making an attempt to guilt journey for taking 4 months to go to the brand new location.
The very best sub-type sandwich at Blue Collar is the cheesesteak. The Philly cheesesteak is shaved ribeye, onions, and Cooper’s sharp cheddar cheese. It’s what I had for lunch, and I’ve no regrets about it on this facet of the desk.
Marcela is a BLT gal, and a part of that sandwich’s allure is utilizing nice bread, which Blue Collar does. She ate half, like she often does with sandwiches minimize in half, and saved the opposite half for the next day’s lunch.
Blue Collar has three menus: lunch, dinner, and weekend brunch. Don’t sleep on that Brisket Benedict, for those who could make it to brunch.
Extra Consolation Meals Speak
I’ve been to Blue Collar, run by Chef Danny Serfer, effectively over 50 occasions because it opened and haven’t been dissatisfied. However truthfully and in truth, it’s exhausting at any time when I attempt to eat one thing totally different from my final go to.
Make sure that to order the mashed potatoes; they’re heavenly. For those who love burgers, the Dry Aged Cheeseburger with the perfect hand-cut fries on the town will make your day.
Blue Collar Restaurant would go on to win Burger Beast Burgie Awards for Finest French Fries and twice for Finest Restaurant in Miami.
Different begins you need to closely think about in your go to are the cheese grits, jalapeño cornbread with sea salt + chile-brown butter, and a mac and cheese made with a four-cheese mix.
Whereas all of these sound good, there’s nonetheless the Cuban Sandwich Egg Rolls with yellow mustard mayo dipping sauce, the potato pancakes with selfmade apple sauce, and Marcela‘s favourite, the pork and beans. The Pork and Beans are smoked bacon, smoked sausage, white beans, San Marzano tomato, sunny facet up egg, with some crusty bread on the facet.
For those who’re not consuming the burger or huge ragout, you need to indulge within the “Corben” brisket sandwich. It’s named after documentarian and native rabble-rouser Billy Corben.
The Corben is served on a Portuguese muffin with sides of latkes, dijon mustard, housemade apple sauce, and au jus. It’s a meal in itself, and also you get a few potato pancakes with it, so it’s filling.

It’s exhausting to depart room for dessert, however you need to at Blue Collar. Let’s discuss in regards to the wonderful tartish candy Hand Squeezed Key Lime Pie. It’s very wonderful, however the bread pudding is god-tier.
