Chug's Diner
Chug's Diner ranks 7th in the list of best restaurants In Coconut Grove. This is a Miami diner. Yes, it has a ventanita, but it also has a full bar. The best seat in the house if you're only going with one other person is at the bar. You'll be here for a while if you ask Jeff to make you a free-style cocktail. Chug's is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
After a little exercise, treat yourself to a cafecito and a ham croqueta (you earned it); or a full-on breakfast with the best Cast Iron Pancake, slow-cooked in clarified butter and warm maple syrup. Get a non-traditional Pan con Lechon with mojo and tonnato sauce for lunch. Get the Meatloaf for dinner if you're looking for comfort.They didn't grow up eating this dish, but if they did, it would be exactly like the one at Chug's. Grab a piece of the tender meatloaf with tamarind ketchup, whipped mashed potato, peas, and carrots for the perfect bite.
