Miami Spice is looking a lot different this year as the COVID-19 pandemic is still taking its toll on the country. Traditionally, the restaurant month(s) run August and September each year and offer three-course meals for $39 for dinner and $25 for lunch (up two dollars from previous years’ $23).

This year, as restaurants have suspended indoor dining service to help prevent the spread of COVID-19, takeout and delivery is the new reality for many restaurants. So many restaurants have pivoted to offering their Miami Spice menus to-go instead. Here are 14 restaurants offering Miami Spice options that can be enjoyed from the comfort of ones home via pickup or delivery.

As always in these times, check the social media handles and websites for details like menu items and delivery hours as they may change as these restaurants adapt to these new business models. Also, always remember to tip well and call before using a delivery platform such as Postmates or UberEats, which comes with hefty fees for consumers and restaurants.
