Cowboy Seafood And Grill
About
Cowboy Seafood and Grill occupies a quiet residential stretch of NE 15th Avenue, well off the main commercial strips that tourists usually associate with North Miami Beach, which tells you something about who this restaurant is built for. It is a neighborhood spot, the kind of place regulars find because they live nearby or because a coworker mentioned it, not because it has a flashy storefront on Biscayne Boulevard. The menu is built around seafood with a Caribbean accent, organized into sections the restaurant calls Aperitivos for starters, Del Mar for shrimp centered dishes, and Especialidades for house specialties like crawfish. That structure signals a kitchen drawing on both Latin American and Caribbean seafood traditions rather than sticking to one lane.
The restaurant keeps consistent hours seven days a week, opening at 9 in the morning and running until 9 at night, which makes it one of the more dependable seafood options in this part of the city for both a midday meal and dinner. Online ordering, delivery, and pickup are all available through a third party platform, reflecting how much of the neighborhood’s dining habits have shifted toward convenience without sacrificing the kind of made to order cooking that a drive through simply cannot replicate. The restaurant leans on fresh toppings and what it describes as a personal touch, language that suggests a small, hands on kitchen rather than a large operation working from a corporate playbook.
North Miami Beach’s residential pockets away from the 163rd Street commercial corridor do not get as much attention in write ups about the city’s food scene, but they are where a lot of the day to day eating actually happens. Cowboy Seafood and Grill is a good example of that kind of restaurant: unpretentious, seafood focused, and built around a loyal local customer base rather than foot traffic from outside the neighborhood. The shrimp dishes get particular attention on the menu, and the crawfish specialties suggest a kitchen willing to put in the extra prep work that shellfish demands.
If you live in or near this part of North Miami Beach and have not tried Cowboy Seafood and Grill, it is worth a visit precisely because it does not try to be more than it is: a straightforward, seafood forward neighborhood restaurant with Caribbean flavor and reliable hours. It is the kind of place that earns repeat business one plate of shrimp at a time rather than through marketing, and that is exactly the profile of business this directory exists to highlight.
