What people say, in short
Diners mostly recommend Red Rooster Overtown for the food. One singles out the oxtail, while a repeat visitor finds the cooking consistently strong and likes the history reflected in the decor. One first-time diner disagrees sharply, describing bland dishes without much flavor. Two commenters question how distinctly Miami the restaurant feels, although another sees it as part of an older local scene. The setting and identity divide opinion more than the generally positive food recommendations suggest.
