Miami Grill

Best food in St. Louis. Delicious & Cheap!

after reading the reviews I decided to get a nice mother’s day meal for myself. The steak was raw and so spicy, it overpowered the meat, plus I had to microwave it and it came out overcooked. It feels like I went to the wrong place as I was expecting a decent meal and the overall meal sucked. I wouldn’t have paid a penny for what I got. Sorry Miami Grill fans, but my mother’s day meal was disgusting.

Went to Miami Grill tonight for some late night food and it did not disappoint. The ½ burger and chicken tenders were spot on. The burger tastes better than ones from fancy restaurants and the fries & chicken tenders couldn’t have been better. The seasoning on them is salty and flavorful. One tip: They actually make your food. So if you are in a hurry, call beforehand and place your order. We waited inside which was fine, but there were lots of people coming in and out with their take out orders. Very satisfied!

This review is based on the ribeye dinner alone and it is great and an amazing value. The steak is well seasoned and perfectly cooked to temp per order. The dinner comes with the steak, baked potato, Texas toast, and salad for $ 7.99. What a value! Also the owners really care about making sure their customers are satisfied and receive exactly what they want. This place is a definite go-​to for any night you want a quick steak dinner without paying an arm and a leg or going to an eat in restaurant.

During my training here in St. Louis, I found this little gem serving up some really tasty steaks. I’ve had the ribeye and the T-​Bone steak here and both were full of flavor. These steaks are marinated (possibly overnight) to get that deep, intense flavor. The steaks are not 2−3″ thick but they aren’t $ 20 steaks either. The ribeye sandwhich I had was $ 8 and the T-​Bone steak dinner was $ 10. The steaks are juicy and tender.
I hear this place serves up some delicious wings as well. 12 piece wings for $ 10 is indeed a good value. Actually, everything on their menu from wings to steaks are of tremendous value. They even have gizzards here.
This is mainly a take-​out place. There is a really small seating area with two tables and 4 chairs by the opposite wall of the counter. I’ve eaten there every time I went in and there was always space.
You really can’t beat a good seasoned steak grilled to perfection for $ 10 and less. You just can’t.

Talk about GOOD CHICKEN! It’s not easy to come across well seasoned fried chicken. But I’m in love. The other meats are tasty as well but I’m stuck on the chicken.

Delicious food. I ordered the miami and chicago style wings and fish dinner. All fresh and hot. They have a really diverse menu, with everything from t bone steaks, fish, gyros, shrimp and apparently anything fried. The food we ordered was ready in a solid 15 minutes, even though the restaurant was full of waiting people. This is not a sit down place, and there was 1 table and a few other chairs against the wall (without a table in front).

I have had the t-​bone and the miami style wings. Both great! I highly recommend. Oh, it’s cheap. No regrets.

Locally owned and operated. The owners are extremely nice and hilarious. The food is cheap and extremely delicious. I tried the steak sandwich, fires and some wings and shrimp. Me and my wife split the meals and it was around 13 bucks total. Everything was hot and fresh not to mention DELICIOUS

Always cooked to order fresh wings sauce on the side pretty good. Also Good prices on 50 – 100 wings. Enjoy!

Good food, inexpensive and filling.

They’re good. They’re cheap. It’s fresh because they don’t make it until you order it. Their hot sauce is the 2^nd best I’ve ever had (s/​o to Chef Gary @ Stiletto’s Cabaret in Irving, TX). If you’re hungry & on a budget, you really can’t beat 6 whole wings w/​fries & bread, for $ 5.99…it’s the perfect budget meal for college students, panhandlers, and those cost-​conscious car salesmen waiting on their draw check (ME!)

Fried Food, Large portions! and good price! I used to live down the street from Miami Grill and I went there about once a week. No doubt much of the food is covered in breading and lemon pepper but it tastes amazing!
It reminds me of the chicken and fish places in Chicago. St. Louis only has a few and Miami grill is one of them!
And you can call in your order before you come pick it up!

Dope ass bulk wings for the price. Order 1^st go there in the daylight. Run in and run out and do go alone. 30 whole wings for $ 25 with tax

Here is a brief primer on Miami Grill, for those of you who are either unaware that it exists, or afraid to eat there, both of which are understandable.
Where it’s located: The Miami Grill is located down in the crotch region of St. Louis County, not too far from the city limits. You might find some of the nearby street names familiar, if like me you regularly check the crime reports in the Post-​Dispatch «for your own personal amusement.» The street directly adjacent to it is one way, but it’s impossible to tell which way that is, because the sign is broken. If you get caught driving down it either way, you’ll probably get charged out the ass by one of these corrupt North County municipalities where the mayor drives a Cadillac with personalized plates, and everyone in his family pulls down a six figure salary from the city (and yet they all still live in Pine Lawn), including his umpteen baby’s mothers. Across the street is the world’s sketchiest no tell motel a/​k/​a sleep n fuck. Next door is the world’s sketchiest car dealership. Directly behind the Miami Grill is a small tenement building or duplex where a group of guys stands out front at all hours of the day and night (but maybe just to get some fresh air).
What they serve: Chicken wings. It’s actually listed as both a steakhouse and a place to get chicken wings, and it’s worth noting that they take their status as a steakhouse seriously (despite themselves). On the west side of the building, there’s a big-​ass picture of a steak dinner. It says you can get a t-​bone steak dinner there for $ 10. The sign out front lists steak first and foremost, along with chicken wings, fish, shrimp, phillies and gyros. If you call them on the phone and ask them what they serve (srsly), they mention the t-​bone dinner, the rib eye dinner, the chicken wings and then a few other things. I’ve been there a million times and mostly just got the chicken wings. I did try the $ 10 t-​bone dinner once, out of morbid curiosity, and it wasn’t half that bad. It falls somewhere in between that steak you would get on Steak Night in the cafeteria in college and a steak dinner it would cost you like $ 13 to make for yourself. It’s the Kindle Fire of steak dinners: Anyone who would actually buy one shouldn’t be allowed to complain. Not just about steak dinners — about anything. LOL
Which kind of wings you should get, Miami or Chicago: Chicago. This is essentially a choice between a «naked» wing (Miami) and a breaded wing (Chicago, duh), with the caveat that I’m not sure if the Miami wing is just a raw chicken wing dipped in hot oil and sprinkled with some sort of seasoning. The skin is a deep, dark brown, almost black, and I’m not sure why exactly. I would compare the taste to those Tyson Foods tequila lime chicken wings, but not disgusting. The breading on the Chicago-​style wings bears an eery similarity to the shit they use to bread the fish. It’s relatively light and thin for fried chicken skin a/​k/​a the black man’s kryptonite, but it’s not too mealy, and it’ll run you about half as much as the wings at, say, Popeyes, two doors down. It has a nice crispness that holds up to a requisite liberal dousing with hot sauce, which is supplied in its own mini celebrity hot tub. I recommend just dumping the entire thing onto your wings. If you accidentally get some on your fries and the two pieces of white bread they give you (this being a hood joint and all), consider that an added bonus.

Miami Grill’s advertising hook is «Home of the $ 10 T-​Bone Dinner,» and … well, if you aren’t sold yet, what the hell is wrong with you?
It’s a «to go/​carryout» place — your food comes in a styrofoam box, and inside is wrapped in tinfoil. They include butter, sour cream and steak sauce, as well as a plastic dinnerware/​napkin packet (but I go home and use real silverware).
As far as I can tell, the steaks are cooked fresh and to order, and they’re quite nice. I’ve had the t-​bone dinner and the slightly less expensive ribeye. They’re of reasonably good quality, very flavorful, tender … nothing to complain about at all there.
These dinners come with a side baked potato, a slice of bread (optimistically described as Texas toast), and a small salad. Everything’s good; the potato and bread could be larger, but for the price, once again, I can’t complain. At least not much. That’s probably the difference between 4 and 5 stars.
I haven’t eaten a whole gyro, just sampled my significant other’s a couple of times, but they’re definitely worth the price — if I craved a gyro I’d go there unless I just happened to be closer to Majestic in the Central West End or Olympia on McCausland just south of I-​40, my other two go-​to spots for that kind of thing.
I haven’t tried the wings. They serve two styles, Miami (i.e. naked) and Chicago (battered), and have some nice price specials for large quantities.
The service is fast and friendly, and when I’ve called ahead they’ve been courteous, they’ve gotten the order right, and they’ve had it ready when we arrived (it’s an 8 or 9 minute drive from home).
Recommended.
