Fried Lobster and a Lap Dance: Miami's Best Strip Club Food
Pop quiz: what are strip clubs good for, other than watching hard-working girls dance for their college tuition? In Miami, they're also a hidden spot to find some good eats.
No lukewarm, all-you-can-eat buffets here; just good, honest cuisine served with a smile and a lap dance. Okay, so they won't be winning any awards for their food anytime soon, but at least you've got a good reason to check out your local "gentleman's club." Like you needed another excuse to hit a strip club, right?
- Fried Lobster at Tootsie's Cabaret
Rumor has it that Tootsie's used to have a great lobster roll (Tootsie Roll anyone?), but times have changed and the economy has strengthened a bit, so it was apparently time for an upgrade. If you're sitting in the Champagne Room and get a hankering for some expensive crustacean, order up a Fried Lobster ($17) for the full VIP experience. Hey, we'd rather get lobster at a strip club than crabs.
​2. The Take-out Window at Goldrush
This is a strip club that never sleeps; open 24 hours Wednesday thru Monday morning, Goldrush offers breakfast, lunch and dinner because hey, anytime is a good time to hit a strip club. The best meal here, however, is served outside via Goldrush's take-out window, where you can grab a burger and fries without even going inside. Conveniently located across the street from Club Space, this is you're go-to spot when you stumble out of Space mid-trip. A classy evening indeed.
​1. Barbecue from Skebo's Kitchen at Club Lexx
Skebo's isn't so much a kitchen as a tent in the parking lot of a strip club, but what they lack in semantics they make up for in juicy Georgia-style barbecue. While his wife runs the kitchen inside, Johnny "Sugar Ray Jay" Floyd mans the grill outside, slinging a juicy chicken sandwich with honey mustard barbecue sauce ($10 with two sides) and sloppy ribs to hungry strippers (sorry, dancers) and locals. Try this line: "Honey, I wasn't at the strip club, I was getting us dinner." You're welcome.
I had wings once at Rick's in Buffalo. Other than that, I don't recall much in the way of food at clubs.
