Miami Gardens, Florida

Miami-Dade County · 240 restaurants

Miami Gardens is home to Hard Rock Stadium, host to the Miami Dolphins, University of Miami football, and major events including Super Bowls and the Formula 1 Miami Grand Prix, drawing huge crowds that spill into the city's 235+ restaurants on game days and event weekends. Beyond the stadium, Miami Gardens is one of the largest predominantly Black-majority cities in Florida, with a dining scene rooted in Caribbean and Southern soul food traditions serving longtime local families. Calder Casino & Race Course adds another entertainment draw, but day-to-day dining here runs on the needs of a large residential community rather than tourism.
