Master Critic Review
Coyo Taco
8.6
Alexander Ringleb and his wife Fernanda launched this gourmet burger concept in 2018 with a straightforward promise—never-frozen beef, halal chicken, brioche-potato buns baked daily—and the 4,300+ reviews at a 4.8 clip suggest they've delivered. The La Latina with spicy pineapple and raclette and the truffle-loaded BM Deluxe justify the 'size matters' motto, with portions large enough to split. Counter service in a compact space keeps the experience casual and quick, and the vegan Impossible option actually earns repeat customers. Parking is the main friction point, and don't expect ambiance beyond functional—you're here for what's between the buns, and that part they nail consistently.

Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Only for casual, relaxed dates - energetic burger joint atmosphere rather than romantic ambiance. Can get noisy, especially near the open kitchen. If you want a quieter table, aim for early weekday seating. Not ideal for an intimate first date, but works for casual low-pressure meetups.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Walk-ins are common and usually fine, especially on weekdays. Peak hours (weekend evenings) can get crowded. They do accept reservations if you want to guarantee a spot. Kitchen stays open late (11pm-midnight) so late visits are also an option.
Is it kid-friendly? Yes - family-friendly restaurant with casual, welcoming atmosphere. The menu features burgers, chicken, fish, and vegan options that appeal to all ages. Portions are generous. The playlist keeps energy appropriate for all backgrounds.
Is it good for groups? Yes - can accommodate up to 120 people inside. Custom menus available for parties including birthdays, business meetings, and celebrations. They offer 'The Meister Box' for group takeout (picnics, boat outings, etc.) and catering services. Email info@burgermeistermiami.com for large events.
Is there outdoor seating? Yes - outdoor patio/terrace seating available at the Brickell location (1111 SW 1st Ave). Dog-friendly outdoor area. Pleasant setting for dining when weather permits.
Best For
Better for: Late-night gourmet burgers—kitchen open until midnight Thu-Sat. Thick, high-quality patties. Dog-friendly patio.
