I don’t know who is rating this place, but it’s absolutely phenomenal and deserving of a way higher score. Spare ribs were tender and juicy, plantains were perfect, baked beans were awesome and had a nice tanginess to them that you don’t usually get in baked beans. They also do those awesome somewhat battered fries that should be the standard everywhere.

Couldn’t recommend this place more. Stopped on our way back to Miami from the Everglades. Got gator bites and tomahawk steak. Absolutely exceptional standard of food. The staff go above and beyond. When our phones stopped working because we came from another country, the manager offered to drop us back to the hotel over a 2 hour trip away. Another staff member ordered us an uber from her own phone. Fantastic service and will be back again hopefully in the future

I had an incredible experience at this restaurant. The food was delicious, with balanced flavors and impeccable presentation. The care and quality are evident in every dish. The atmosphere is welcoming and the service is very attentive. I will definitely return and recommend it 100%! Thank you for such a special evening.

I was a little hesitant to try this place at first since it didn’t have at least four stars, but I’m so glad I gave it a chance! The food absolutely blew me away. The baby back ribs were hands down the best I’ve ever had in my life—perfectly cooked and full of flavor. I’m already looking forward to coming back!

After living in Miami for two decades, I finally got the chance to stop by The BBQ Pit—a true West Kendall staple.

If you're looking for real, no-frills BBQ, this spot is an absolute gem. It’s been around for decades, and it’s easy to see why. The food is simply amazing: ribs that fall off the bone, juicy, flavorful chicken, and tender, perfectly smoked meats . The tart lemonade hits just right, and the service is as friendly and warm as it gets.

No fancy decor here—just good old-fashioned BBQ done right. A must-visit for any BBQ lover in Miami.

unfortunately, a horrible experience. I ordered the Angus burger medium rare and it came out more than well done with nothing else but the puck of meat. It was incredibly dry. no lettuce, tomato, cheese, or anything.
I took a bite and left it on the plate. the coleslaw was lacking flavor and was dry. The side of baked beans were cold. The beer was cold but tasted off and the side of corn that i ordered was probably the only okay thing and even that wasn't entirely edible.

i left everything on my plate with one or two bites in them AFTER coming back from the Big Cypress preserve on a hike, i was ravenous. I paid the entire bill, including their mandatory 18% gratuity for my table of one. I would not recommend this place to anyone. note that only outdoor seating is avail. the road noises can be very loud.
this place also does not pass the bathroom test. The bathroom had a foul smell, was needing various repairs, needed fresh soap and paper towels, and a cleaning.

The pulled pork sandwich and the chicken sandwich had great flavor. The baked been were sour and very runny. The coleslaw tasted like KFC. The price was way higher than it should be for what we got. The service wasn't great either. Our server avoided eye contact several times while we waited for her to come back to take our order. By the time she came back we had already finished our first drinks.

Stopped at this spot on a whim. I'm so happy we did. The food was hot and delicious. Ms. Sonia was amazing. We had such a nice time chatting with her. I can't wait to visit again.

Beware they add a 18% gratuity regardless of your group. The food and service was absolutely horrible.
