Chefs on the Run Gastro Pub is one of the best burgers restaurants in Miami for dinner, especially if you want a strong option in Homestead.

Editorial review•Feb 24, 2026

Homestead doesn't get written about the way it should, which means places like Chefs on the Run have built their reputations almost entirely on word of mouth and repeat business — the hardest kind to fake. Chef Jodrick I. Ujaque has been running this family-owned operation on E Mowry Drive since 2011, which in the relentlessly churning Miami restaurant landscape qualifies as genuine staying power. The concept is a specific kind of ambitious: a gastro pub sensibility applied to Puerto Rican, Caribbean, and American cooking, at price-point-one dollar signs, in a downtown Homestead location that most Miami food media couldn't find on a map. The Miami New Times has put it on their top 100 list for three consecutive years (2024, 2025, and 2026), and Eater Miami flagged it as one of the region's best under-the-radar spots. That's not a fluke — that's a kitchen with a clear identity and a neighborhood that's shown up for it. The menu is where the concept earns its credibility. Mofongo served with bone broth is the kind of move that signals Ujaque knows exactly what he's doing with Puerto Rican tradition — the dish is built on fried and mashed plantains, and pairing it with broth rather than a protein-heavy sauce keeps the focus on technique. The burger program is genuinely award-winning: smash burgers layered with pickled onions show up consistently in diner accounts, and both the cheekily named "I Just Want a Burger" and "El Jim" have developed loyal followings. The truffle-kissed mac and cheese reads as the kitchen's bridge between the comfort-food instincts of a pub and the slightly elevated register the gastro pub label implies. The "AY! AY! AY!" sandwich is the kind of named item that only works if the kitchen can back it up — and diners keep ordering it. The BYOB policy is the practical detail that changes how you plan the evening: no liquor license means you bring your own bottle, which at these prices turns the whole meal into an exceptional value proposition. Hours run Tuesday through Friday until 8:30 pm and Saturday until 9 pm — this is not a late-night operation, so plan accordingly and don't show up expecting last call. Indoor and outdoor seating both exist, with free parking nearby. The move is to call ahead, bring something worth drinking, and order the mofongo and at least one of the named burgers.

TastyPals notes

Editorial review by Carlos Mendez

Café Fenicia occupies a particular niche in Downtown Miami that most Lebanese restaurants don't bother with: it's been built as a full evening, not just a meal.
