After 55 years, this 24-hour restaurant is closed on Biscayne Boulevard in Miami

After 55 years, Miami’s building craze has finally caught up with Denny’s: The 24-hour restaurant at 3600 Biscayne Blvd. is now permanently closed to make way for redevelopment.

According to the Instagram account @wilsonews2026, which follows local Miami news, the restaurant closed on March 29, letting customers know via a notice taped to the door.

Located just off I-95 and 36th Street, the restaurant is situated between Miami’s upscale Design District and the Edgewater neighborhood, an area that is ripe for change. It’s a spot that has just absorbed the loss of a neighborhood favorite: Danny Serfer’s beloved seafood restaurant Mignonette, known for its oysters and relaxed atmosphere, which opened in 2014 and closed on March 29.

The fate of the Biscayne Boulevard Denny’s, which supplied workers, students, drivers, the hungry and, sometimes, the downright shady with late-night breakfasts, was less of a surprise. The restaurant’s fate was sealed in 2022, when Denny’s the property was sold for $24 million to the California-based real estate company Pacific Star Capital, according to The Real Deal. The sale included the restaurant and the parking lot, which includes 1.2 acres.

The 4,889-square-foot Denny’s building, built in 1968, has remained opened since then. The new residential development coming to the property includes an 18-story tower and retail space.
