After more than 13 years of waiting, Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA 6) is almost here, and Miami is getting a head start on the action.
The highly anticipated game arrives November 19, bringing players back to Vice City, Rockstar Games’ fictional, neon-soaked version of Miami. But before fans can explore the palm-lined streets of Leonida, some of GTA’s most recognizable restaurants from the game’s Florida-inspired setting are already making their way into the real Magic City.
From a Miami-born burger chain transforming into Burger Shot to Flanigan’s, iconic nightclubs and familiar Florida Keys landmarks, here’s where South Floridians can experience GTA 6 in real life. This is the most comprehensive GTA 6 South Florida guide to date, and we’ll update it daily as new spots come to life.
Skinny Louie has an official partnership with Rockstar Games to bring Burger Shot to its Florida locations.

On October 26, Miami-born smash burger sensation Skinny Louie announced an official partnership with Rockstar Games to bring Burger Shot, the fictional fast-food chain featured throughout the GTA franchise, to its Florida locations.
Beginning in early November through December 31, participating Skinny Louie restaurants will feature Burger Shot signage, uniforms, branded packaging, and a limited-time menu.
The lineup includes the “Bleeder Triple” ($15.49), stacked with three Black Angus smash patties, American cheese, bacon, pickles, barbecue sauce, and ketchup. Fans can also order the “Burger Shot Single” ($8.99), “Double” ($11.99), or a caramel milkshake ($6.99).
“Burger Shot is such an iconic part of the Grand Theft Auto universe, so getting to recreate that experience in the real world is very exciting for us,” says Skinny Louie co-founder Gonzalo Rubino. “The fact that we’re doing it here in South Florida, where Skinny Louie was born and where Vice City draws so much of its inspiration, makes it even more special.”

Yes, Miami’s beloved Flanigan’s Seafood Bar and Grill has made it into the GTA universe. Well, sort of.

In the game, the restaurant appears under the fictional name “Uncle Jack’s,” but its resemblance to the beloved sports bar is hard to miss. Flanigan’s even acknowledged the similarity on social media in December 2023.
While Rockstar hasn’t confirmed whether players can enter Uncle Jack’s or order a virtual rack of baby back ribs, its appearance is another hilarious nod to Miami culture.
