Hole in the Wall

I live here during football season. Arguably the best wings in Miami. Not as saucy as sports grills’ — which i prefer from time to time. Also the fries are on POINT. Ive had the fish tacos as well, thats a nice changeup. But the wings are the reason this place is special.

Been here several times. The wings are delicious, just as good or even better, than Sports Grill. The flavor and texture are consistent. The restaurant is small and a bit cramped but cozy.

Had lunch there with my two buddy’s and the Philly Steak with hot and barbecue wings were outstanding. Wings were crispy on the outside and meaty with being done perfectly on the inside. Steak sandwich was huge packed full of nice tender meat and all the fixings. Service was fast and the waitress/​barmaid was very good and mighty sporty looking I may add. I don’t always comment on places like this, but they deserve kudos. Difficult place to find with even a gps, hence the name? I’ve been here for two weeks from Rhode Island and have eaten in a lot of restaurants so far and this is one of those places to remember to go back too.

So we were spending the night in the area and went to a couple of bars that were a little to shiny and full of pretty people, we jumped in a cab and told the driver to take us to a bar. More specifically a locals joint and this is where we ended up, and ended up there until closing! It is kind of hard to find as it is kind of hidden in the corner of the strip mall but once you walk in you are greeted to a true locals joint, kind of dumpy and my kind of place. We sat at the bar and immediately made friends with those around us and had amazing service. And then we ordered some food, and wow was it good! Blackened wings amongst the best I have ever had, anywhere. And the tuna is amazing! A plate you would expect to find in a 5 star joint in south beach, but ¹⁄₁₀^th of the price. I wish I lived near here I would definitely be a regular. So many places could take tips from this place and how to serve a cold beer and decent bar food.

Good luck getting acceptable service here if you have any specific diet. I’m a vegetarian and on two occasions had to basically fight for a simple veggie taco on Taco Tuesday. The bartenders are rude as all hell and the menu is apparently written in the Ten Commandments because they won’t substitute a damn thing. All in all, horrible experiences every time. Thanks, but no thanks. Bye, Felicia.

I give a 3 stars solely based on the food, the service was non-​existent! I’ve never been in a restaurant that I had to get up and pick up my drinks, food and check from the bar! I went with my family and every time we needed something we had to go to the bar. We sat there and until I asked if anyone was coming to take our order after 10 mins, she says «oh yeah you order from the bar», if it wasn’t that my family was starving I would have left. Super crammed and the tables are right up on each other. Sorry but I rather spend my money somewhere else!

Small hole in the wall pub with great beer selection, awesome wings, friendly staff and great service.

Really fun bar with a lively, packed crowd on a Friday night. Wings were nice, fries were really good (half order is a huge basket). Staff was super friendly! We wanted to find a place playing the Oregon/​Arizona game and they did not disappoint. Patrons were all having a great time and a nice gentleman at the end of the bar even bought us a round since we are new to the area. Most if the beers are light and domestic but can’t fault a sports bar for that.
Place is hard to find. It’s tucked into the corner of the strip mall down from the McDonalds FYI.

Really is a hole in the wall, but not a dive. Important distinction.
They have good original wings, nice seasoned fries and serve coke.
All the basics for good bar food.
And, family friendly. Convenient location, in Kings Bay plaza. So after an afternoon of errands, which probably included a stop at one of the shops in Kings Bay anyways, good place for a lunch/​dinner with kids in tow.
Same good choice for casual drinks with friends when you’re not looking to dress to impress anyone.

Best place for locals in this part of miami! Amazing wings, the best mahi sandwich in Florida, tuna tacos if kill for, and well you just have to show up.
It’s hard to find, no sign which is great. All the bartenders rock.

Best wings in Miami! Fries are pretty Epic too. Cool atmosphere, with no nonsense simple menu.
Great for hanging out, but also great take out for wings as well.

Do not go there when the lady is having her period or if it’s almost 10:30 pm. She was nasty

One word: Nasty
Food sucked. Accompanying potato chips were stale. Kitchen was so disgusting looking that I am not sure why I stayed.

I think there are a few hole in the wall pub. The one we went to were in kings bay. We were looking for a cheap place to have a quick bite. We both had a Sam Adams and shared a philly steak. It cost us $ 24.00 the beer was expensive! $ 5.00 for each Sam Adam. The name of this place is definitely a great description of this place a «hole in the wall». Steak sandwich was good it came in a brioche bread instead of a sub. Nice touch.

This is my go to bar in Kendall. Mostly, because its next to the best arcade in town and it is extremely affordable. They occasionally have PBR on draft which is a poor girl’s dream come true. If not, Mon-​Thurs they have half off craft beer after 9:30. They have a pretty nice selection (about 10 – 15?) on draft including my favorites Guinness and Fat Tire. When I went today they had Shock Top Raspberry… Yum!
This is the ultimate football spot. The place is small and COVERED in TVs. There isn’t a spot in the bar where you can’t see the game. I’ve watched plenty of Dolphins and Heat games here and its always a good time.
The food is pretty good and at a great price. Order a half fry and you’re good for two people to munch and have a few drinks. Order a meal and you certainly won’t be disappointed.
The only negative is sometimes it can take a while to get a waitress’ attention. When you do though, they are very very friendly. But there have been a few occasions when I am waiting to cash out.
I would definitely recommend to a friend. In fact I have… and they always come back!

I’m Pretty adventurous when it comes to new dining experiences. my husband suggested that we try Hole in the wall pub. I excitingly obliged, albeit a bit skeptical. Driving up It does in fact seem like a hole in the wall.
The place is small, lights are dim, music loud. Just my kind of place. The seating is similar to sports grill as well as the menu if not better.
The service is questionable however the staff is rather nice.
The wings were the starter and the main attraction. Between the honey and the teriyaki it was hard to chose a winner. They both were perfect. The shrimp fat boy special was excellent. Next to that came in the brisket sandwich. It was Full of flavor and the bread was perfect. So much so that my husband who ordered it ended up having to switch his plate with mine.
I had the dolphin tacos. The soft shell taco had a great taste but the fish was lacking flavor. Not sure if it was in need of salt or spice but they definitely needed something.
I was pleasantly surprised by this hole in the wall and anticipate coming back.

It is what it is… but so much better!
Small sports pub with LOADS of TV all around, including two projector screens on the wall. Great place to watch a game!
Beers and food — what you expect but very tasty and very inexpensive. The service is friendly and on point!
I think I found my new place to watch games: D

After hearing my parents rave about hole in the wall, my boyfriend and I decided to meet them there and drove from south beach.
What a mistake.
I only give this two stars because the food was very good. If it was decent, I would give them zero stars for our horrible experience.
We ordered our food and were told that certain things may come out first because thats how its done there. Having worked in many restaurants I didnt think that was a good practice but whatever. We were also told the kitchen was a mess, another red flag.
Our appetizers came and the wings and poppers were good. The rreal issue came with the food.
My boyfriend father and I received our dolphin sandwiches. We waited for a bit, still no food for my mother and 94 year old grandmother. The ordered the seared tuna and pulled pork sandwich, which by their own standards should have been out first. We reported it to the waitress, and I watched as she just went about her business. About 10 minutes later we asked again. Nothing. At thatpoint she started purposely avoiding us — no eye contact, no apologies, no explanations. After 20 minutes (and watching many people get their food) I asked to speak to a manager. The girl who came over said she was «basically» the manager (WHAT). She was nice enough and offered to comp the sanddwich (we had gotten the tuna after about 20 minutes). However, she took no responsibility. Told us how bad the kitchen was and how they had been «doing this all night». A manager is supposed to ensure a restaurant runs smoothly. Not once did I se her or my waitress go back to ask the cooks where the sandwich was, and then she blamed her staff? After about 40 minutes my 94 year old grandmother got her food with barely an apology. The waitress completely stopped serving us. Its a shame because the food is good, but if the service and management does not chane this place will not last. As my grandmother remarked as we were leaving «this place is for the birds».0

Ducked in for a business meeting to talk bikinis, social media, and merchant processing and was glad Kristen picked this joint.
I’ve visited the original over on US1 and this one has the same rustic and unsophisticated charm. It also has a HUGE high-​def projector with a movie-​theater sized TV screen for watching sports. SCORE!
The friendly, affable, helpful and attractive manager (Janine) made our visit extra special. I enjoyed Dolphin tacos and they were awesome. 3, delish tacos were almost more than I could finish.
I also appreciate that they serve Siracha sauce. It goes SO well with the tacos.
We also got to try /​sample the brisket special. It tasted AMAZING, but I’d seen positive Unilocal chatter about the tacos, so that’s what I did.
Pabst Blue Ribbon’s in the can are always $ 1.50. Yeah, a buck fitty. That is some good SCORE right there.
I will be back. I have to try the brisket. And the ribs on Friday. And more PBR is calling my name.
Check it, Cabeza OUT!

This is a welcome replacement to the Tex-​Mex café that was in this spot before, I place I used to love many years ago but has since fallen into an unrecoverable state of craptitude.
This is a decent little local sports bar serving up good food at very reasonable prices, almost everything on the menu is well under the $ 10 mark.
Alcohol is also reasonably priced with a decent selection of beer to choose from.
The best part of this little hole in the wall is the video arcade next door, complete with retro games and pinball to more modern shoot-​em-​up stuff.
With a combination of good food, cheap prices, and entertainment right next door, this should be your next Friday night destination!
