Fodor's Review:
The decor in this innovative 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 a virtual book, complete with table of contents. But the food is solidly all-American, with dozens of tasty sandwiches, pizzas, turkey or beef burgers, and side dishes, each and every one composed with a gourmet flair. Customers comprise club kids and real kids, who alternate, depending on the time of day—Big Pink makes a great spot for brunch—but both like to color with the complimentary crayons.

Not Worth a Star
Posted by juanflorida from Miami on 10/17/08
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.
