Many restaurants around town are responding to the dine-in restrictions by offering takeout and delivery, either through services like Uber Eats, Grub Hub, Postmates and others, or by using their own employees. Here’s a list of Karen’s favorites that are offering Miami restaurant delivery and takeout (she has been to all of them except Boia De which is on her “To Go” list) along with important information to know before you order.

If possible, go to the restaurant and pickup the meal curbside, practicing social distancing. The benefit of this is that you save the third party app’s service charge. It’s also much better for the restaurant, since apps can charge 30% or more to restaurants that are struggling to survive. In most cases, you can order by calling and/or online. Some restaurants are offering their complete menu and others a reduced menu, sometime with a discount. And please, TIP well.
