Fodor's Review:

The decor in this innovative, super-popular diner may remind you of a roller-skating rink—everything is pink Lucite, stainless steel, and campy (think sports lockers as decorative touches)—and the menu is 3-feet tall, complete with a table of contents. Food is solidly all-American, with dozens of tasty sandwiches, pizzas, turkey or beef burgers, and side dishes, each and every one composed with gourmet flair. Big Pink also makes a great spot for brunch.

Like many other restaurants in Miami, Big Pink strives for - and to a large degree achieves - an aura of casual cool. Unfortunately the food does not equal the interesting setting. Every dish we were served failed to meet even the standards of a good diner. The portions were large (a meat lasagna the size of a large brick - with way too much cheese, not enough sauce, and poorly seasoned beef), and unimaginative both in taste and execution (a salmon wrap stuffed with wilted lettuce and white rice, and a sesame seed coated grilled tuna sandwich - again very large but tasteless). Even the "bucket" of fries -an apparent menu favorite - was not executed properly - the metal serving bucket was a cute idea but served to steam the fries so that only the top layer were crispy. I suggest that the owners taste each dish again (critically) and reformulate the menu.
