Restaurants Cutler Bay Buyers Ask About: Dining and Shopping
In this article
"If you search for restaurants Cutler Bay has to offer, you will find choices that range from a family-owned Cuban cafe to a bayside grill, and most daily shopping sits along Old Cutler Road and South Dixie Highway. Southland Mall, two Publix stores, and a Walmart Supercenter are all inside Cutler Bay's 33189 area. This guide lists the places we could confirm on their own websites, so you can see how errands and dinners work near Capistrano.
Restaurants Cutler Bay buyers can check first
We only list places we could verify on a company or county page. We do not rate or rank them. Restaurants change owners, menus, and hours often, so confirm hours and ownership before you go.
Cubavana Cafe, 20445 Old Cutler Road. Its website calls it a family-owned and operated South Florida restaurant with Cuban food, such as Cuban sandwiches and plates with meat, rice, beans, and plantains. See the Cubavana Cafe website.
Black Point Ocean Grill. Miami-Dade County's page for Black Point Park and Marina lists this restaurant and bar. It is part of the county park, so read our guide to things to do near Cutler Bay, including Black Point Marina for the park itself.
That is a short list on purpose. If we cannot check a fact on a first-party page, we leave it out. Ask us and we will point you toward more places when we talk.
Southland Mall
Southland Mall is at 20505 S Dixie Highway in Cutler Bay. Its own website calls it an enclosed regional shopping center with nearly 100 stores, dining, and entertainment. The mall's site has a dining section, so start there to see what is open. See the Southland Mall website.
An enclosed mall just means the stores are inside one building with a roof and walkways, so you can walk from store to store out of the sun and rain. Stores come and go in any mall, so check the mall's site for the current list.
Grocery stores in Cutler Bay

Two of these sit on Old Cutler Road, and one is on South Dixie Highway. Those are the two main roads to know. Our post on getting around Cutler Bay covers them in more detail.
How to check a restaurant before you go
Any list of restaurants goes out of date. Owners sell, menus change, and places close or move. Here is a short routine that works anywhere:
Open the restaurant's own website or call the number listed there.
Confirm the address, the hours, and whether it is under the same owner.
Ask about a wait or a reservation if you are bringing a group.
It is a quick call and it saves a wasted trip. We use the same routine when we send buyers to a place.
A sample errand day
Here is how a simple day could work, using only the places listed above.
Morning: Pick up groceries at one of the two Publix stores on Old Cutler Road, or at the Walmart Supercenter on South Dixie Highway.
Midday: Walk the enclosed halls of Southland Mall for shopping and a bite from its dining section.
Evening: Sit down at a local restaurant, after you confirm it is open. If you want to be near the water, look at Black Point Ocean Grill at the county park.
You do not need a long list. Most families settle into two or three regular stops within a few weeks. Then the rest of the town becomes an extra you enjoy on weekends.
Health care nearby
Jackson South Medical Center is at 9333 SW 152nd Street in Miami, 33157. Its own site lists the hospital's location. Read more at the Jackson South Medical Center page. For your own care, check which hospitals and doctors your insurance plan covers.
Schools: use the district lookup
We do not say which school a home is assigned to, and we do not rate schools. School assignments depend on the exact address and can change.
The right step is simple. Use the school lookup at Miami-Dade County Public Schools for the specific address you are considering. The district's website is dadeschools.net. Do this before you make an offer on any home, in any community.
Parks for the weekend
Dinner out is only part of daily life. The Town of Cutler Bay lists a dozen parks, including Lakes by the Bay Park. See the Town of Cutler Bay parks page. For bigger outings, read our living in Cutler Bay guide.

Capistrano is a community of one-story homes on Bahama Drive and Bahia Drive in Cutler Bay, 33189. Both homes have four bedrooms, three baths, and a three-car garage. The Destin and the Fraser are close in layout, so the real choice is a bigger primary suite and lanai in the Fraser or about forty thousand dollars less in the Destin. A lanai is a covered patio at the back of the home. The Destin lanai is 8 feet 8 inches by 16 feet. The Fraser lanai is 16 feet 8 inches by 12 feet.
The kitchen is where dining out meets dining in. Both plans include Whirlpool stainless steel appliances and 3CM granite countertops. The Destin kitchen is 12 feet 3 inches by 18 feet 11 inches, and the Fraser kitchen is 12 feet 4 inches by 18 feet 2 inches. You can walk both plans in person.
Grocery runs are easier with a big garage. Both plans have a three-car garage, and you can measure it against your own needs. For the details of each plan, see the Destin page and the Fraser page.
The Destin has recently started in the low $900,000s, and the Fraser has recently started in the high $900,000s. Call 561-704-0091 for today's numbers, and ask what incentives are available today.
