Garcia's Seafood Grille & Fish Market

Garcia's Seafood Grille & Fish Market has been a beloved Miami institution since 1966, offering guests an authentic taste of Old Florida charm right on the Miami River. This family-owned establishment combines a bustling fish market with a casual waterfront restaurant, where you can watch boats drift by while enjoying the freshest seafood in the city. The menu features local favorites like stone crab (in season), grouper sandwiches, and their famous fish dip, all prepared with catches brought in daily by local fishermen. For guests staying at Krymwood Flats Wynwood by RocketStay, Garcia's provides a refreshing contrast to the trendy art district scene - it's a short drive south to experience genuine Miami maritime culture. The restaurant's no-frills atmosphere, complete with plastic chairs and paper plates, focuses entirely on exceptional food and scenic views. Don't miss browsing the adjacent fish market where you can purchase fresh catches to prepare back at your rental. Visit during sunset for the most magical experience, and be prepared for a wait during peak times as this local gem doesn't take reservations. Cash is preferred, though they accept cards, and parking can be limited so consider rideshare options.
