Most Disliked
Some patrons find that the tavern’s popularity can lead to longer wait times during peak hours, especially on Fridays. Although the atmosphere buzzes with life, expect a crowded space if you visit during lunch or dinner rush. A few customers have mentioned that limited seating may not accommodate larger groups during busy times, which can lead to a less enjoyable experience for those dining with friends or family.
Moreover, while the menu offers a wide variety of options, some guests have expressed a desire for more creative offerings outside the BBQ realm. A few diners wish for additional vegetarian or vegan options to complement the predominantly meaty fare. While the focus on barbecue is a strong point, the desire for variety among a wider dietary spectrum remains a common thought.

This is a gem where awesome food, amazing service and no frills converge beautifully. Limited hours of operation but worth getting off the beaten path to try the best brisket around. The smoke salmon dip (homemade) with crispy home made pita chips, simply delicious. Service is great. A good beers selection....highly recommended.

I love this place, this the OG to Miami bbq in my mind. Literal hole in the wall spot, and the vibe is solid. Fire bbq, best I’ve had in the area for sure, hands down. As in Florida, and even in general. All the food is smoky, plenty of meat on the ribs or wings and no cartilage on the ribs. Straight meat. Beers are all sourced from Florida and from small brewers even which I think is awesome. Fire 🔥
