The Best Miami Restaurant Deals Happening Right Now That Are NOT Miami Spice

Miami Spice may be getting all the attention right now, but you don’t actually need an official prix-fixe program to score a very good restaurant deal in Miami.

From 75-cent wings and $12 pizzas to $35 lobster dinners and bottles of wine without the usual restaurant markup, some of Miami’s best restaurants are running specials of their own... and dare we say a few might be even more tempting than Spice.

Here are the deals worth knowing about right now.

Drinking Pig BBQ: 75-Cent Wings

When: Wednesday - Friday

The deal: Smoked wings for 75 cents each

Yes, 75-cent wings still exist in Miami; and they’re at one of the city’s best barbecue spots.

Drinking Pig’s smoked wings are available for just 75 cents each Wednesday through Friday, with your choice of sweet mustard barbecue sauce or chili butter.

Considering you’d have trouble finding bad wings for under a dollar these days, this one feels borderline irresponsible not to take advantage of.

The River Oyster Bar: $35 Lobster Tuesday

When: Tuesdays, 7-10 PM

The deal: $35 lobster specials

A whole lobster situation in Brickell for $35? We’re listening.

Tuesday Lobster Night at The River Oyster Bar includes a choice of preparations like classic steamed lobster with potatoes, corn, slaw and drawn butter, grilled lobster with mango salad, or lobster mac and cheese.

And Tuesdays aren’t the only reason to go: River also has a $35 three-course weekday lunch and a daily 3–7 PM happy hour with $2 oysters.

River has been a Brickell institution for years, and while it may not be the shiny new opening of the moment, there’s a reason it’s still one of the neighborhood’s most reliable spots for really good seafood.

Michael’s Genuine: No Markup Monday

When: Mondays

The deal: Bottles of wine at cost

Restaurant wine markups have met their match.

On Mondays at Michael’s Genuine, bottles of wine are offered at cost, meaning you can order something from a serious wine list without watching the retail price mysteriously multiply the second it hits a restaurant table.

For a proper Design District dinner, that can translate to some pretty substantial savings.

Spend what you saved on wine on more food. That’s basically financial planning.

Honorable mention to their $1 oyster Thursdays as well.

Walrus Rodeo: Rodeo Mondays

When: Mondays, all night

The deal: $12 pizzas + discounted drinks

The best reason we’ve found to willingly make Monday night plans.

Walrus Rodeo’s Rodeo Mondays mean $12 margherita and quattro formaggi pizzas all night, plus $8 draft beer, $8 glasses of wine and $12 cocktails.

At a restaurant where you’re coming for much more than “just pizza,” it’s a pretty excellent way to do Walrus Rodeo for less.

Sunny’s Steakhouse: Champagne, Fries + Happy Hour

When: Daily, 5-7 PM

The deal: $12 cocktails, $10 wine, $40 bottles + Champagne-and-fries specials

Yes, even one of Miami’s most sought-after steakhouses has a deal.

Sunny’s happy hour takes over the bar in the early evening with $12 cocktails, $10 glasses of wine, $40 bottles and a menu of snacks from the raw bar and kitchen.

But the move we’re most interested in? A half-bottle of Delamotte Champagne served with french fries for $40. Steakhouse happy hour, but make it chic.

Seats at the bar are first come, first served, and this is Sunny’s we’re talking about... so showing up early is probably wise.

And while you're at the bar, just order the burger. It's not a special happy hour deal but it is one of our favorites in the city.

Apocalypse BBQ: $1 Wings + $10 Sandwiches

When: Wednesdays for wings; Wednesday-Friday for lunch

The deal: $1 wings and $10 sandwiches

Kendall has entered the chat, and what you might lose on gas money you'll gain back with this deal.

Apocalypse BBQ does $1 wings all day Wednesday, but that’s only the beginning.

Wednesday through Friday from 11 AM-6 PM, you can also grab one of three $10 sandwiches: the brisket chopped cheese, Cluck Norris fried chicken sandwich, or pulled pork sandwich.

Add fries for $2 and you’ve somehow managed to have a full lunch at one of Miami’s buzziest barbecue restaurants for twelve bucks.

Mottai: Three- or Four-Course Business Lunch

When: Tuesday-Friday

The deal: Three courses for $54 or four for $64

Sometimes a sad desk salad just won’t do.

Mottai’s weekday business lunch offers a three-course Komosubi menu for $54 or the four-course Sekiwake for $64.

Options include dishes like spicy tuna maki, rock shrimp, pork belly, black garlic chicken, prawns, yaki udon and more, with the four-course menu adding dessert.

For a restaurant where dinner can quickly become an occasion, it’s a very good excuse for a long weekday lunch.

PS- No actual business needs to be conducted.

COTE: $8.88 Magic Hour

When: Daily, 5-7 PM

The deal: $8.88 drinks and bites

One of Miami’s Michelin-starred steakhouses has a surprisingly affordable loophole.

COTE’s Magic Hour features cocktails and wines for $8.88, plus bites at the same price like lobster fritters, Korean bacon, rice cake “gnocchi” and chicken nuggets.

It’s one of the easiest ways to get a taste of COTE without committing to the full steakhouse experience... or the full steakhouse bill.

Bar Bucce: BOGO Drinks + a $4 Slice

When: Wednesday-Sunday, 4-6:30 PM

The deal: BOGO drinks + a $4 New Yorker slice

A $4 slice and two drinks for the price of one sounds less like Miami in 2026 and more like a clerical error, but here we are.

Bar Bucce’s Sip & Slice happy hour offers BOGO house cocktails, wines by the glass and draft beer alongside a $4 New Yorker slice.

Come for one drink. Accidentally stay on the patio for three hours. You know how this goes.

Pastis: Le Happy Hour

When: Monday-Friday, 3-6 PM

The deal: $10 drinks, $3 oysters + discounted bites

Pastis isn’t exactly the first restaurant that comes to mind when someone says “cheap eats in Wynwood,” which makes its new weekday happy hour considerably more interesting.

Cocktails and glasses of wine are $10, oysters are $3 each, and the bar-bite menu includes things like a $7 fromage platter.

It’s basically permission to have a very Pastis afternoon without a very Pastis bill.

Parisian brasserie, Miami prices temporarily turned down. We’ll take it.

To Wrap Things Up

Miami Spice may get the spotlight this time of year, but knowing where to find a good restaurant deal is a year-round sport in this city.

And because restaurant specials change approximately every five minutes, we’ll keep updating this list as we find more worth leaving the house for.
