About Blue Collar

Blue Collar is Miami's beloved contemporary American comfort food destination, established in 2012 by Miami native Chef Daniel Serfer on Biscayne Boulevard in the Upper East Side's MiMo District. The restaurant has earned a devoted following — and a spot in Miami New Times' Top 100 Restaurants — for its inventive take on American classics: think shrimp and grits, oxtail, chicken parmesan, and the legendary Heath Bar and Butterscotch bread pudding.

The menu is built for flexibility, letting diners customize their plates whether they're going full indulgent or keeping it light and vegetarian. The vibe is casual, cozy, and decidedly retro, with '70s-inspired décor that feels both nostalgic and hip.

A full bar delivers craft cocktails, a great beer selection, and wines, while happy hour (Monday–Friday, 4–7 PM) keeps locals coming back mid-week. With outdoor seating, reservations through OpenTable, and delivery via Uber Eats, Blue Collar is equally inviting for a relaxed lunch, weekend brunch, or a lively Friday dinner when the place fills to capacity.
