BAD SAUCE 7/7/2006

Their sauce tastes like an ASHTRAY. Coming form NC, I have high expectations of barbecue. Cons: ashtray tasting sauce more

Shorty's BBQ leaves a good taste in my mouth! 4/26/2006

My family which includes myself, my husband, and 3 of my sons all love the pork sandwiches. I love their coleslaw too, never tastes like store bought to me. I have bought the pork sandwich platters and eaten it there (took my husband & took my mom), also took it home with me. Twice in the past few months we have also enjoyed the take home pork with sandwich rolls and sauce, french fries and coleslaw. It's very good and the price isn't bad. Order plenty, you will be glad you did! I had iced tea w/lime & my husband had a cold beer. Check your order before you leave so you can go home and enjoy your meal with the family. Pros: great food, good service, friendly atmosphere Cons: parking limited, US1 traffic busy more

Miami history 1/31/2006

The secret to this experience is the BBQ sauce. This has been a Miami mainstay since the 1960's since we started going there...a place with no A/C and a screen enclosure only. Upgraded now it is still the BEST PLACE FOR BBQ in Miami. NOTHING compares to the taste or succulent nature of the rib plate in the world. Buy the sauce to take home and you will have the best BBQ in the neighborhood. I have never taken anyone there from countries around the world and not have rave reviews. It is a mainstay of the VARIG flight crews for eat in or take out meals. This is a WORLD CLASS dining experience...don't doubt it...forget the doily crowd...just try it an experience a totally unique taste experience. Pros: TASTE, TASTE, TASTE more

Good food 6/9/2005

Had a great experience at Shorty's. A friend and I sampled everything and thought they did a very good job. Nice smoke ring, tender. The ribs had a nice ""toothsome"" feel, not pork jello at all. The chicken and beef were done right. Sides were very good. All in All very good barbecue for a commercial BBQQ joint. Service was delightful with a server that had both and additude and a sense of humor. When we questioned her about the preparation, she brought the manager out and we spent about an hour with him talking about how they do everything. (It was a slow part of the afternoon) A good sign was the wood rack out back filled with logs. Reccomend this place, they do know how to do it and they care about it. more

Another one bits the dust! 1/21/2005

10 years ago this was once a wonderful place for beef sandwiches,ribs, chicken, corn and slaw! Now, like everything else another chapter of Great Florida eatting has dissapeared into the abyss! Sadly, the chicken is fatty, the ribs as dry as the desert, the slaw tastes like it was made in Publix! How the heck does this happen? Management should never have expanded this joint. It`s lost its allure. Anyone, who can tell you that ""This is the place for Ribs"" is in denial. Pros: bad more

Shorty's not short on good food! 7/29/2002

Living in Miami for 20 years Shorty's became a mainstay for us. It was not until we moved did we realize how good the food really was. We have tried to find another place locally to compare, but nothing can touch the food, service and atmosphere of wholesome family fun.... Pros: great barbecue, excellent prices, kid friendly more

    A favorite since 1951, Shorty's often has lines of hungry people stretching out the door. The old-fashioned log cabin building is bare-bones, with concrete floors and long wooden...
