Nexxt Café

700 Lincoln Road
Miami Beach, FL 33139
(305) 532-6643
www.nexxtcafe.com

This venue serves the usual fare, such as burgers, salads and seafood. But the portions are so huge that guests frequently have difficulty finishing all their food. So feel free to share some of your food with your pet if you so desire. Although pets are only allowed outside, the servers will happily bring your pet a bowl of cool water. But be forewarned, there are a lot of other dogs enjoying this venue as well so please bring only well-mannered and leashed dogs.
