In-Depth Information
With excellent views overlooking the waters from the 79th St Causeway, Shuckers has to
be one of the best-positioned restaurants around. The food is pub grub: burgers, fried fish

New York-style pizza, thin crust and handmade with care and good ingredients. New
branches of Steve's are opening elsewhere in Miami, all in decidedly nontouristy areas,
