Shorty's BBQ South Miami Reviews
We had the barbecue chicken and fries and pulled pork it was very good and we enjoyed our server Phil who made us laugh a lot would really recommend coming back it’s a great place
As always the ribs were meaty and delicious. The server was the best!
I've been eating at Shorty's for 60 years. It's a legendary Miami, Florida USA restaurant and the delicious barbecue food is as good as ever. I'll be eating here frequently and I definitely recommend it to others. If you want to enjoy the true Miami Dining Experience... forget Versailles and come to SHORTY'S !

Shorty's BBQ South Miami is a highly regarded restaurant known for its authentic and solid barbecue. Many reviewers compare it favorably to the best barbecue experiences, with some saying it is the closest they have found to proper barbecue like in Austin, TX. The menu features all the staples, including ribs, chicken wings, brisket, pulled pork, and brisket sandwiches, which are praised for being moist, tender, and full of flavor. The brisket, in particular, receives high praise for its perfect smoke ring and melt-in-the-mouth quality. The cornbread and coleslaw are also highlights, with the coleslaw being described as excellent. The ambiance is considered perfect for barbecue, and the staff is recognized for being hospitable and attentive. Repeat visitors appreciate the long history of the place, some having been coming for decades, and express concern about its future. A few reviews note minor issues, such as fat in the meat or the need for more spice in certain dishes, but overall, the experience is positive. Shorty's BBQ South Miami is seen as a blue-collar, authentic barbecue spot that offers great food and a welcoming atmosphere.
