Ordered the chicken and waffles and I received overcooked, dry chicken still on the bone with 2 soggy store bought waffles with a cup of syrup on the side. Also ordered hot dogs and fries, all the food tasted microwaved or reheated

Wish I would’ve read reviews earlier.. chicken and waffles is literally soggy eggo waffles with a gross piece of chicken on top. Not at all worth the money or buying at all. Tried calling the store to complain and the worker instead of helping me just got offended and told me I don’t have to buy from them again. Oh trust me, I won’t!

This is a great home style bbq joint, big on flavor and can't be beat on portions. Had the 1/2 rack of ribs which were fall off the bone meaty perfection! The Georgia style sausage was good, not mind blowing, but good. Seasoned fries are excellent, and again cooked perfectly. They were out of the pulled pork, you've got to get there early before they sell out! Do not pass this place up, plenty of on street parking. Outside seating only in nice covered garden area with great music and plenty of fans for air movement. I was comfortable seated there in July, that says a lot in south Florida!

One order of fries was missing.Chicken was flavorless and gross looking. Waffles are soggy eggo things that are like wet bread. Fries were ok just stale. All beef hot dog was just like what you'd buy at a supermarket and boil I guess. They also put sauce on everything when I asked for it on the side when I called complain I got a rude attitude saying sauce on the side doesnt mean not on the item? Tried to blame the delivery driver and was just rude.

No flavor! I tried the cornbread first because I love cornbread and it was the worst cornbread I have ever had. Then I go To try the Mac n cheese and oh boy was it horrible as well! It was extra oily and did not have flavor. I then try the ribs and they were fine nothing to spectacular. Plus it was chewy. Delivery was fast

Don't bother ordering their chicken & waffles. They simply use frozen Eggo waffles (or similar). I specifically called and asked if the waffles were homemade or store bought. They said they were made there. I guess by "made", they meant heated up or microwaved. The chicken was fried well and not dry, but it is not your typical fried chicken. It had absolutely no breading or seasoning.

Absolutely the most ridiculously priced barbecue I’ve ever had and I live in Miami pulled pork platter wasn’t a platter it was pulled pork with some frozen french fries season from Publix as well as one side of coleslaw for six dollars and onion rings for six dollars I could’ve bought better onion rings at Burger King and the coleslaw as well at Publix somethings really wrong here I called and they asked me to bring it back and give me back my money but I’m not going back there ever! don’t waste your money

The only reason they got one star is because of the fries and google won’t let me half a star. But this was my first timing trying this place and the food was horrible. The only good part was the fries. They gave me one ketchup packet and 1 syrup for 2 plates of dry chicken and Kellogg eggo waffles with 2 fries. This was a big turn off since it’s was my first time trying chicken and waffles. Maybe they other food is good but the chicken and waffles is a The Office Season 5 episode 9 1:50-2:00

Anybody else sick of the absolute dog food we call BBQ in Miami? I mean we should be ashamed! (Yes I lived in Texas for 9 years). This was a delivery order so maybe that had a small impact. Full rack of ribs - I wouldn't call this fit for human consumption the meat tasted off. On the plus side my dog is loving them. I took one bite from three different ribs and decided to just give the rest to him. 1/10 Pulled pork - it's technically edible but very salty and dry. 3/10 Mac & cheese - was average but there was a disturbing oil slick in the bottom of the container a centimeter deep. 4/10 Baked beans - about as good as a can of Bush baked beans. 5/10 barbecue sauce - actually good better than Stubbs but it's no Head Country 7/10 The last barbecue place I roasted here - the owner Claimed to have gone through all of his receipts over the course of several months and not see my name meaning I never ordered there and was a liar. That place went bankrupt. It was much better than big mamas.

the music is too loud, you can't even have a conversation because you have to shout all the time, it's not a nice place to share

I've eaten here twice and both time it was really good. The fries were Crispy and flavorful without condiments and the pulled pork sandwich was juicy. I was happy she gave me extra BBQ sauce on the side.

We were visiting from out of town. I wanted to try some bbq so we decided to give this place a try through ubereats. The prices are reasonable. We got the pulled pork on Kaiser rolls and chocolate chip cornbread. The pulled pork was extremely salty too much seasonings it didn't taste nothing like bbq. I couldn't finish my sandwich. The fries were okay. The cornbread was dry and hard. I also saw they had lemonade and thought it would've have been home made but nope they sent a bottle Minute Maid lemonade I was super disappointed.

I visited this location for lunch and ordered the "St. Louis Ribs - Half" and "Gimme that Fried Chicken" and opted for Mac and Cheese as a side instead of the fries or cornbread options, and I ordered both types of cornbread one with the chocolate chips and the other without. Let's talk about the positives first. The atmosphere was very chill and I liked the setup. The people were very nice and even brought me my food to the bench where I sat. The description I read on the menu about the Chicken was enough to make my mouth water and I truly was looking forward to feeling as if I were in "heaven" on the first bite...sadly this was not the case, maybe my expectation was high because when I read "Fried" I figured breaded fried and it was not which is okay I have had good fried chicken before and it not be breaded, here's my issue the chicken was dryer than the Sahara desert, it tasted so bland not even the sauces I was given on the side saved it I ended up throwing it out not sure where they got world winning chicken from but that's a very far fetched statement. The Mac and Cheese were also disappointing they were bland and lacked that cheesy goodness one looks for. I tried to fix it and not even me adding pepper and salt could save the mac and cheese. The plain cornbread was undercooked and tasted like something but not Cornbread I'm still trying to figure out what exactly was it that I ate because I do not think it was cornbread as for the chocolate chip one that was highly recommended by the lady that worked there well I have no words and wonder if she knows what the word "amazing" means when referring to food...truth be told, I have had better cornbread in my days that came from a Jiffy box. Now, while I did not taste the ribs my boyfriend said they were really good and that they had a kick to them (I got the ribs to go), so I can only go by what he said and he was happy with them. The only thing I can say was good here from self-experience was the bottled peach tea I had. I am sorry for the bad review but spending almost $50 for bad food that I tossed hurt me most. Get it together Big Mamas.

Macaroni and cheese oily bbq beans had a nasty old taste to them my fried chicken wasn’t cooked all the way through I’m never ordering from there again money wasted

Elizbeth Simon

Absolutely delicious. I ordered delivery, and was so impressed. We had the ribs, coleslaw, and onion rings. The ribs were cooked to perfection and I couldn’t believe how well the onion rings traveled! The extra sauces they provided were incredibleeee, I would buy those sauces by the gallon if they sold them. New fave spot. Highly recommend!
