Blue Collar

A proper comfort food eatery in Florida would be remiss to not have a key lime pie on its menu, and Blue Collar’s variation is one of the best because it has a homemade touch. And reason for that is because it is actually homemade from scratch by Meghan Perkins, wife of one of the restaurant’s biggest fans, Billy Corben.

It’s hard to get more Miami than The Restaurant at W South Beach’s (RWSB) take on the classic Florida pie. The restaurant uses the traditional key lime pie as its base, then adds to the slice a pineapple crisp, caramel sauce, and scoop of mango sorbet, to take the flavors up a few notches.

Aside from its popular breakfast, the other thing this Sunset Harbour eatery is known for: its pies. (Oprah even praised them years back.) Icebox’s 9” deep dish key lime pie serves up a combo of sweet and tangy, topped with fresh whipped cream makes it a standout in a sea of pies.

Joe's Stone Crab

Almost as iconic as its namesake stone crabs is Joe’s key lime pie — but that hasn’t always been the case. According to legend it actually started as a mix up when a Chicago food critic in the '50s mistakenly mixed up the key lime pie he had at another restaurant with Joe’s then apple pie offering. But the error caused for a flood of requests, and the rest is history.
