Kevin EatonJanuary 24, 2012The food was great. I subbed a Sweet Potato instead of Fries and it was awesome. I ate the 3 Mini Q's. I love pulled pork and it was great, but the Brisket that I tried was off the chart!Upvoted Mar 19- Dave GarciaJune 23, 2017The beef brisket was a bit heavy on the pepper seasoning, but overall an excellent choice. The star of the restaurant is their slow cooked baby back ribs with that famous sauce only found at Shorty’s.
Taty FernandezJune 8, 2015Great food! Ribs, chicken, brisket on the grill. Dont miss the sweet corn with lots foi butter! Great key lime pie.
Glenn EbertAugust 18, 2011Being from Nashville, you quickly see why South Florida isn't known for BBQ. But this place is top notch, down home, no frills GREAT. Plus any place who plays Reba McIntyre "Fancy" has to be stellar.
Stella SyracuseMarch 17, 2014This is an "old Miami" eating spot. The BBQ is still one of the best. Their fried green tomatoes is my favorite, as are the ribs.
baby back ribs, pulled pork, brisket, chicken — coleslaw, corn on the cob
Bruce StarrJune 28, 2014Had dinner there for the first time this week. Great food, portions and fair prices. Wonderful BBQ. I had the pulled pork!
Marty QuintanaAugust 30, 2018At Shorty’s you never have to worry about them changing the cook or changing the menu. As a result they always produce the same consistent quality - tasty!- Sam AtassiJanuary 1, 2017Awesome place to have the best baby back ribs. 1-4PM they have a special, 1/2 slab + Chick, DON'T miss it !!!
Stephany M.December 19, 2011My dad was a bus boy here in the 60s. Fam favorite. Pulled pork sandwich, baby back ribs, chicken, or even the burger is delicious!! Key lime pie is a must...
Jacobo GómezMarch 11, 2016Amazing find. Authentic Texas-style bbq joint in Miami! It's the real deal.
The ice cream is VERY good-has body, not too soft, little bits of ice like when ice cream was with a churn
Johnathan IriasJune 21, 2012Probably if not the best BBQ place in Miami the one in doral is the worst u must come to this one also if your gonna come you must order the corn on the cob!!
Sean DalyOctober 9, 2019I’m not a fan of this type of bbq (I like sweeter sauces, not pepper-based), but the coleslaw is outstanding.
ShellaAugust 14, 2012This place looks tally different from when I used to be a waitress here (back when there was no a/c).... Best place to eat BBQ hands down! Worth the wait anytime!!!!
George Pagan 3rdJuly 26, 2015Really good brisket. When they deliver your meal wait for the special BBQ sauce. Don't use the table sauce it's generic.
Charlie305 SouthBeachHookUpDecember 29, 2011Get the mini Qs and sample three types of BBQ. Pulled pork is killer with cole slaw!
Come in during lunch and have the rib lunch special. Great ribs. Let your inner Frank Underwood out! Hmm!- Dennis MancinoJuly 20, 2015not a bad BBQ place... I enjoyed the fried green tomatoes, but i have had better BBQ around miami! this is a staple though here in miami
The BBQ Chicken is amazing as are the baked beans. A Miami classic.
David HochstadtApril 3, 2014Still the best BBQ restaurant. And their BBQ sauce is unrivaled by any other!
Miami New TimesAugust 15, 2014It's been almost 50 years since "Shorty" Allen opened his first log-cabin-style barbecue restaurant. Read more
Carolyn SuttonApril 5, 2013Good pulled pork. Get the regular ribs. They are better than the baby back.
60 years in business. You can't go wrong here! See my review in the Pinecrest Tribune newspaper
Isa BrandãoNovember 16, 2015I'm used to come here since the 90's... Still the best ribs and corn on the cob!!!
PeteDecember 3, 2013I don't always eat BBQ, but when I do... It's shorty's. Best beans, chicken and garlic toast around.
Mike KohrtSeptember 16, 2016They need to step their game up on the brisket - does not hold a candle to other bbq places - too old of cooking/serving off of heated trays
Victor VillarAugust 15, 2010The Best BBQ's ever, if u r around give a shot to the Shorty's Cheeseburger, U will be surprised. @ the table add BBQ sauce.. :8
Franco CalizFebruary 26, 2018I might just be a grumpy old man but I feel like their quality has slipped a bit. The pulled pork isn't as good as it used to, their fries are average. Eh.
Alessandra PhamJune 21, 2011Ribs are amazing! Expect great southern hospitality, and be sure to get their key lime pie!
Brittney WatersSeptember 5, 2011Try the cheeseburger! Not your first thought at a BBQ restaurant, but it's delish!
