Fodor's "No trip to Miami is complete without a stop at this Ocean Drive landmark, though the food is nothing special." Full review
Frommer's "This South Beach cafe-cum-landmark hasn't fallen off the radar, it's just on a different one, this time as an iconic South Beach figure rather than a currently hip one." Full review
Zagat3.0
"News flash: this "original" SoBe "icon" is still the place to "see and be seen" 24/7, whether "lingering" over a "cheap" breakfast or recovering "after a hard night on the town"." Full review
BlackBook "Aside from the newsstand inside, and history—Gianni Versace had his last meal here—it's mostly for connoisseurs of formatted charms."
DK Eyewitness "One of the very first cafés to open when South Beach began its reinvention, News Café remains a landmark institution today."
Michelin Guide "People-watching is a 24-hour activity at this sidewalk cafe that opened in the 1980s to give production crews and models a casual place for a quick bite."
Gayot10.0
"Best bet in terms of both reliable taste and value is a Mediterranean plate of hummus, baba ghanouj and tabbouleh that could feed a small family." Full review
Rough Guide "Pavement café/brasserie with an extensive mid-price breakfast, lunch and dinner menu, and front-row seating for the South Beach promenade."
Miami New Times Recommended
"Munch cold cuts and any of a dozen cheeses and sip your choice of three fine wines by the glass, or while away an entire day with a bottle, listening to piped-in and piped-out (to porch) jazz." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler "The enormous menu truly has something for everyone, but people don't come here for the scrambled eggs and home fries: They come for the people-watching." Full review

Zagat3.7
""Early-morning hangovers" and "late-night munchies" are both cured at this "funky" "'50s flashback" in SoBe boasting a "huge" menu of "satisfying" diner grub." Full review
BlackBook "Work-in-progress menu perfect for late-night grease cravings. Comforting and gourmet in a BIG way."
Gayot11.0
"Bigger is obviously considered better at this tongue-in-cheek take on the all-American diner." Full review
DK Eyewitness "This popular waterside café might seem more at home, but is still a favored residents’ eatery for its café cuisine, diversity in offerings, and scrumptious desserts."
Rough Guide "Futuristic diner decked out in pink Lucite and aluminium that serves massive portions of all-American favourites."
Fodor's "The decor in this innovative, superpopular diner may remind you of a roller-skating rink." Full review
Time Out "A Miami Beach mainstay, this big square room is studded with big TV screens tuned to sports and big pink menus of all-American favorites." Full review
Miami New Times Critic's Pick
"Only its atypical look... would keep this kid-friendly eatery off a list of ultimate American diners." Full review
Not For Tourists "The food is decent, but the bikini-clad clientele is tops."
