Duffy’s is the spot to spend your afternoon enjoying life. The pandemic has changed this but there is a large outdoor area that is social distanced.
You can always take your food to go or show up a little earlier like I do so you have the whole place to yourself.

Duffy’s Tavern is one of those old-school spots we need to protect. They’ve been around and hopefully they’ll still be around long after we’re all gone.

Duffy’s Tavern Food





Original Duffy’s Tavern Post
October 23rd, 2008 – When I turned of the legal drinking age, I went to Duffy’s Tavern (2108 SW 57th Avenue, Miami) for some sporting event, and I remember eating their burger. Of course, back then, a burger was just a burger to me, but Duffy’s was different.
It was way better than any burger I had eaten at that point. Flash forward, and Duffy’s Tavern is not really the “hot spot” it was years ago, but it still does have a loyal following.
I decided it might be time to give this place a go again and find out just how good their burgers are. I ordered a couple of appetizers to begin with: the Jalapeño Poppers (stuffed with Cheddar Cheese) and the Buffalo Bites (chunks of breaded chicken with spicy breading).
The Jalapeño Poppers are pretty standard stuff. But, hey, that doesn’t mean it’s terrible, just run-of-the-mill bar food. The Buffalo Bites taste like something you might buy at Sam’s Club or Costco, not horrible but something you can definitely recreate yourself.
We also tried the 1/4 lb. Chili Cheese Dog happens to be pretty good and pretty big (not really a fan of their chili, though).
Duffy’s Best Burgers?
As for the “Duffy’s Best Burgers” portion of the menu, I ordered the Onion Burger, “smothered with grilled onions, “a direct quote from their menu. The smothered with grilled onions is a bit of an overstatement, but the burger gave the burger some flavor.
Duffy’s 1/2 lb. charbroiled sirloin patty is served on a kaiser roll. The fries were ok, but I would not be opposed to trying their cheese fries if properly executed.
My wife dared to order Duffy’s Death Burger even though the menu does not specify what’s on it. So I asked about the ingredients, and our server said horseradish, jalapeños, and some spicy seasoning.
She felt the burger wasn’t spicy at all. So I tried it and could not taste any heat whatsoever.
I will leave you on this note: I shall return to Duffy’s Tavern to try one other thing: the Italian Burger (topped with marinara sauce and parmesan cheese). This one could definitely go either way.
