The French Fries were the only good thing to eat. Steak was dry, Waiter didn't even ask what sides I wanted and just assumed I wanted fries and Coleslaw. If this was in Texas, this wouldn't even survived 3 months.

I feel really bad for the little ponies they have out front in the heat with no water. Food here was average. Service and ambience was below average.

This is a great little restaurant near shark loop. After riding the bike out there it is a great place to grab some awesome bbq. The staff is friendly the food is aweome.

This place advertised great Barbecue and that’s what we stopped for- the baby back ribs platter for $17.99 was great. Included 2 pieces of ribs with about 3-4 bones, and 2 sides - there were lots of options for sides. The French fries were good- crispy and not greasy at all- the way I prefer them. My friend had the pulled pork sandwich for $11.99 with 2 sides and it was good as well- stuffed full of pork. The coleslaw was a little on the dry side but decent. Now- about the mini Key Lime pie for $3.99 - we were hesitant about trying this- but we were craving Florida Key Lime pie. This was horrible- a waste of $4 that I would have rather have given to the overworked waitress! ! Two small bites was plenty and I couldn’t get the bad taste out of my mouth. It didn’t appear to be homemade- however the waitress ensured us it was…With 2-$5 beers, tip that was included and taxes our lunch bill was $55.I would definitely stop again for the bbq- good smoky flavor and tender meat! - but a definite pass on the pie!!!

Outside dining under a tiki hut. Cash only - ATM on site. After a day in the Everglades we were happy to find a place close by to eat. I had the Angus burger - big burger - didn't ask how I wanted it cooked - meat was well done. Fresh brew tea and season fries were very good. My husband had the fried frog legs ?. Nice selection of beers.

Passed by this place for the past two years and never stopped because I was concerned about getting barbecue in Miami. Place was packed and food took about 45 minutes to get but let me tell you that it was definitely worth the wait. We ordered baby back ribs, catfish, grilled shrimp baked beans and potato salad. All of it was awesome! We will definitely be going back.....maybe during the week though.

The food here was ok but I expected better. I've had alligator bites in several states and restaurants and you would think, Florida being the gator state, the bites would be better but they were not and kinda chewy. The gator ribs could have used more seasoning and the conch fritters we're also just ok. Being from the Caribbean, I've definitely had better conch fritters. The waitress also was in no hurry to get anything to you not even the menus. Also just FYI, this place only takes cash, which they have on a barely visible sign. You would think the waitress should mention this before ordering because not everyone walks with cash these days.

Awesome atmosphere, awesome staff and the Food OMG to die for, for A FL bbq, try the gator bites or gator ribs... absolutely delicious ??...now sponsoring a resident cat❤️ definitely recommend

Cash only but there's an ATM on site with a $4 charge. Several items on the short menu were also not available. They charge for tap water too.
