Van Dyke Café

846 Lincoln Road, Miami Beach, FL 33139  305.534.3600

A map of 846 Lincoln Rd, Miami Beach, FL 33139-2878. Click to see the map on MSN Maps & Directions  There are some things you need to know about Van Dyke Café. First, you're going to have to wait. Second, some of the servers have that 'I don't give a shit, I'm a waiter in South Beach' attitude. Third, the dress looks casual, but isn't. Fourth, it's not all Gay. And last, you're going to have great, memorable meal and an opportunity to people watch on the Lincoln Road Mall that makes it all worth it.

The soups are homemade and delicious, the salads are fat and piled high, the sandwiches are phenomenal. A good portion of the seating is outside. Even if you do end up inside, there are open doors all around the dining room. Save room for Cuban coffee and dessert.

Look for the strangely scattered red awnings on a six or seven story renovated building from the 1920's.
