Totally over tapas? Think that the small-plate fad has run its course? You can't always live large in Miami, but here are the places that will give you food portions so big that you'll have leftovers for days.

Sensibly Large Servings

  1. 1 4 Star Rating: Recommended Nexxt Cafe

    700 Lincoln Rd, Miami Beach, FL 33139 (map)

    All of the entrees are leftovers-friendly, but the gargantuan signature dishes are the salads. A kid can get lost in there. It's a like a ball pit of lettuce!

  2. 2 4.5 Star Rating: Recommended Big Cheese Pizza
    Read Reviews

    8080 SW 67th Ave, Miami, FL 33143 (map)

    You'll have to order it two days in advance, but good luck trying to get the six foot-long party sub into your house. It's so big it should play for the Miami Heat.

  3. 3 4 Star Rating: Recommended Gables Pizza & Salad
    Read Reviews

    1558 S Dixie Hwy, Coral Gables, FL 33146 (map)

    The "house pizza" will set you back roughly $30 but it's an eye-popping 27 inches wide. You can practically live in the box itself.

  4. 4 4.5 Star Rating: Recommended Shula's Steak 2
    Read Reviews

    6842 Main St, Miami Lakes, FL 33014 (map)

    Order the massive 48-ounce porterhouse steak at the original Shula's; finish it and your name will live forever, engraved on a plaque. The steak, like Shula's 1972 season, typically go undefeated.

  5. 5 4 Star Rating: Recommended Barton G Restaurant
    Read Reviews

    1427 West Ave, Miami Beach, FL 33139 (map)

    The chocolate fountain isn't cheap, but it's got four pounds of bubbly, chocolaty with a cupboard full of stuff to dip into it. Eat your heart out, Willy Wonka.
