Saying a bittersweet goodbye in mind to an absolute Miami icon 😢 Just had my last BBQ PORK Sandwich from the Shorty's Dadeland location, Unless I make A trip One Day for Some 🌽 CORN!! 🤣😋 SIDENOTE: MY BRIOCHE BUN IS FROM PUBLIX TOASTED WITH BUTTER FIRST 😉🤤 I've been eating this my whole life, and it's a sad day to see them closing their doors after 75 years. ❤️The memories made over these picnic tables will last forever. A little poem for a legendary spot📖 The pit is cooling, the land is sold, A lifetime of memories, a story told. The sauce was sweet, the smoke was deep😎 This Dadeland staple, a memory we'll keep❤️ Make sure to stop by before they're gone! You can also visit their other locations in West Miami and Davie. #ShortysBBQ #MiamiLegend #Dadeland #BBQIcon #EndofanEra #MiamiEats #SouthFlorida #BBQ #BBQSandwich #Generations #SHORTYS
I've been eating delicious food there since childhood; it's the best place to go with the family for corn on the cob with butter, the best ribs, and the best service. Thank you to Mrs. Gabby for her kind attention.!!!
Always a stop for us when we’re in the Area, Fabulous BBQ and the Best fried green tomatoes in the south. Our server Dory was hotter than a pistol and sweeter than my Grandma she made our lunch truly enjoyable. Looking forward to returning.
Roxy was amazing, she suggested we get the platter for 4 and it was perfect for us. She was very attentive to what we needed.

Our server, Shade, was OUTSTANDING. She was incredibly attentive, patient, and so kind! It made our lunch experience more enjoyable seeing her smile and ensure we had everything we needed. She’s very knowledgeable about the menu, too, helping us understand what parts of the meat we are looking at and how they would essentially come out. We really could not be more content with today’s service, and we have ALWAYS been to Shorty’s as locals. Shade, we were left impressed and hope we can see you again during our next visit!
This was our 1st time here, and let me tell you, they take forever for your food to come to you. And I had to use the restroom but ran out cause it stink and it was disgusting. And as you can see in the pics of the restroom and the men's was worse according to my husband and he's 6'5 so it was very uncomfortable. And they swept but left the trash there as you can see in the Pic. And the sitting area is all connected, so if you get other people sitting next to you and they act like jerks. There'll be problems . I don't like the sitting areas.
Shorty’s is blessed to have Cookie as one of their server. I’ve had the pleasure of being served by her twice in two different occasions. She is always on point and super professional.
Shorty’s BBQ is always a great choice, but the service from Maikol Nieto really made the experience stand out. He was friendly, attentive, and made sure everything was perfect from start to finish. The food was delicious as always fresh, flavorful, and served quickly but Maikol positive attitude and professionalism truly elevated the visit. You can tell he cares about customer satisfaction. Definitely coming back!
I love this place. It's been here for years lots of years. I remember going there as a child. Today I had chicken Philly. It was loaded and the chicken has such a good flavor. 👍🏼 I recommend it highly.

I was raised in Miami & had never eaten here. The food was delicious! Esp the baby back ribs. Roxy was our server and she was very sweet and attentive. We have a bunch of allergies & she made sure our orden was taken care of & ordered correctly. The manager Julian also came out to make sure they got our order correct & that it was safe to eat. High recommend eating here! The service & food were great.

It’s a very nice place to eat. The servant is awesome. She is very nice. Her name is Cookie. She’s always been very kind. We come here twice a month. We love it. The corn on the cob is the best.
Great food and even better service! Roxana Llanes was amazing — attentive, friendly, and very professional. She made sure everything was perfect and went above and beyond to give us a great dining experience. Highly recommend Shorty’s BBQ South Miami!
Had a great experience here! This was my first time in Shorty’s and our server Daisia was super nice and patient, I haven’t had service this great in a while. Not to mention our food came out quickly, we had a large party of over 7 people and she made sure that we were all happy! I’ll definitely be returning

We had Shorty’s BBQ cater our Thanksgiving work event, and it was absolutely fantastic! From start to finish, the service was seamless and professional. The food arrived on time, perfectly prepared, and still piping hot. The food was a huge hit with our team — tender, flavorful meats, delicious sides, and generous portions that left everyone satisfied. The turkey and mashed potatoes were especially memorable, and the green beans and mac & cheese had people going back for seconds. Beyond the food, the staff made everything easy for us. They were friendly, attentive, and ensured that our event ran smoothly. It truly felt like they went above and beyond to make our celebration special. We couldn’t have asked for a better catering experience. Thank you, Shorty’s BBQ, for helping us create such a warm and memorable Thanksgiving gathering at work. Highly recommended!
My first time there. was built in 1951, picknick tables are the main seating. (It was pre explained what the lunch menu was going to be.). It was explained to me that most of my friends here in Florida, lived in the area as kids, and have eaten their hundreds of times. (even my wife) as a kid. Corn on the cob started us off, draped in butter. Brisket tips ends were up next. I plastered the meat with the house sauce. the final portion was the full rack of ribs. (I normally eat a few ribs) But I ate one half and was looking for more. (I have added this place to my Love chart on the map). so, my next time back down this way, I'll buy some more ribs and continue on down the shore.
Really authentic BBQ. Fried okra and burnt ends for appetizers were really good. The sauces with the okra are ranch homemade and ranch with a mild hot sauce . Full track of ribs, of course fall off the bone tender. All meats co on ed perfectly and seasoning is also too perfection. Ask for a ice cold mug with your beer or you get a soda cup. Worth the wait we'll done

Shorty's barbecue has been around for a very long time and has the reputation that it deserves of being a delicious and reasonably priced barbecue spot.
This is an authentic smokehouse. Everything is superb: corn-on-a-cob, corn bread, brisket, chicken wings, and the wolrd champion baby back ribs. There are excellent combos that allow you to share…
This location is located within a short drive off the turnpike. Fast and friendly service. Our waitress was prompt and friendly and our food came out quicker than we thought it would. The brisket and fries were good, they don’t allow you to swap out a side for a different side, therefore I did not eat the coleslaw. The frozen mango margarita was surprisingly better than expected - you just never know with them! We were full out of the 2 of us. Our leftovers made a whole other servings more. I would return here 💯
The Cornbread itself is worth the visit. The ribs were cooked to perfection. Their lemonade selection is lacking for a bbq place. Great and friendly service. The Cornbread makes me want to come back for me
Shorty’s BBQ Restaurant was a good late night stop for dinner for a hungry crew. It’s great for large groups with long tables that can accommodate a lot of people at one time. They always seem to be busy so call ahead with a large group. In peak times parking can be an issue, the lot is small so consider this when planning a trip there. The ribs are amazing, pulled pork is soooo delish! Very generous portions, I brought a huge amount home for leftovers. The wings were also really good. They only have beer and wine, not a full bar. They have margaritas but they were too sweet for even me and that’s saying something.. would not recommend those. Kids are welcome, it’s a loud, family style place that is not fancy but very relaxed, sports games always on the many TVs all around the place. Easy and relaxed place to be.
Exceptional customer service. Food was good over all. The ribs were great and flavorful and the kids burger was really good. The corner bread was outstanding and my favorite thing. I was a little let down by the mac and cheese- was a little bland. But aside from that there’s lot of cool historical pictures on the walls and food comes out fast.
Good food, great service, great parking. They desperately need updating/renovation - awning torn and faded - interior needs a strong dose of elbow grease - Men's room.. ick. But Jess was great, the food was quick and good (pork Sammie, coleslaw, fries, beans, key-lime pie). The large amount of folks there for lunch really speaks to the food and dedication to the brand. Maybe take a day to spruce up. Good spot

The people here are great, super friendly and very helpful. The brisket needs to be cooked longer. It's a little tough. Their signature sauces are great, onion rings are good too. Not a big fan of the coleslaw and the fries are just meh. Prices are fair. I'll try the ribs next.

We visited the Bird Rd location. The meat is pretty good but they do not have enough sides in my opinion. The Cole slaw was decent. Don't waste money on dessert as they are just boxed cake/pie.

bbq PORK SANDWICH Second time in a row No taste at all Smelled bad Throw away all my gift cards Guessing must have new owners Really very poor now Never will set foot in this place again Thank you…
I always pass by this restaurant and the food smelled so good so I wanted to give it a try. This place has the worst BBQ I've tasted. It was flavor less, dry and burnt. And I only got 3 ribs which suppose to be half a slab. The sauce they gave me didn't taste like BBQ sauce but tasteless tomato paste.
I used to eat at Short’s Barbecue all the time when I lived in Miami. That was over 20 years ago, and the food was great. However, my husband and I travel down to Miami this past weekend to see family before Christmas and we decided to get some takeout food from Shorty‘s on S. Dixie Highway for two people that came to over $65 for a rack of ribs, a half rack and a pulled pork sandwich, oh my gosh, what a horrible disappointment the food was awful !!! The ribs were fatty on my dinner and also fatty on my husband’s order. The pulled pork sandwich was disgusting burned meat and pre- mixed with some sauce that definitely did not taste like the Shorty’s sauce that I used to love. All in all I am not kidding, the food was horrible! I couldn’t even eat any of it. What the heck happened to Shorty’s ?? It totally has to be new owners and I’m telling you, the sauce was nothing like the old Shorty sauce, so they might’ve kept the name, but it is surely not the same restaurant- beware.

# Shorty's BBQ: Un Legado de Sabor Auténtico en el Corazón de Miami
Miami, una ciudad vibrante conocida por su diversidad cultural y su ecléctica escena gastronómica, es hogar de joyas culinarias que, a menudo, se esconden fuera de los circuitos turísticos más obvios. Entre estas instituciones locales, Shorty's BBQ se alza como un bastión del auténtico sabor sureño, un lugar donde la tradición, el humo y el buen gusto se fusionan para crear una experiencia inolvidable. Ubicado estratégicamente en 11575 Southwest 40th Street, este establecimiento no es solo un restaurante; es un pedazo de la historia y el alma culinaria de Miami.
Desde su fundación, lugares como Shorty's BBQ han servido como puntos de encuentro, donde el aroma tentador de la carne ahumada se convierte en una invitación a la comunidad. Aunque los datos específicos de su historia fundacional y cultural no siempre son de dominio público a través de bases de datos como Wikimedia, la mera existencia y longevidad de un establecimiento de BBQ en una ciudad tan dinámica como Miami habla volúmenes de su arraigo y su capacidad para conquistar paladares a lo largo de las generaciones. Representa esa esencia de la cocina americana que se ha mantenido fiel a sus raíces, ofreciendo una experiencia que trasciende la simple comida para convertirse en un ritual de sabor y tradición.
Para comprender el atractivo de Shorty's BBQ, es fundamental sumergirse en la rica tradición del barbecue sureño, una forma de cocinar que es mucho más que una simple parrillada. El BBQ, en su forma más pura, es un arte que combina paciencia, técnica y un profundo respeto por los ingredientes. Se trata de la cocción lenta de la carne a baja temperatura, utilizando el humo de maderas específicas para infundir sabores profundos y complejos. Este método no solo cocina la carne, sino que la transforma, haciendo que cortes naturalmente duros se vuelvan increíblemente tiernos y jugosos.
Las raíces del BBQ se extienden profundamente en la historia de los Estados Unidos, particularmente en el Sur, donde cada estado e incluso cada región ha desarrollado su propio estilo distintivo. Desde las costillas de cerdo al estilo de Memphis, bañadas en salsa dulce y picante, hasta el cerdo desmenuzado de Carolina del Norte, a menudo servido con una salsa a base de vinagre, el mundo del BBQ es vasto y diverso. Lo que tienen en común es la devoción por el proceso: horas de cocción lenta, el monitoreo constante del fuego y el humo, y la creación de salsas secretas que complementan perfectamente la carne.
En un establecimiento como Shorty's BBQ, la expectativa es encontrar esa dedicación. El proceso de ahumar la carne, ya sean costillas de cerdo, brisket de res o pollo, implica el uso de maderas como el nogal americano (hickory), el roble o el mesquite, cada una aportando un perfil de sabor único al producto final. Esta cocción prolongada no solo ablanda las fibras de la carne, sino que también crea una "corteza" o "bark" exterior, una capa caramelizada y especiada que es una marca distintiva del buen BBQ.
Visitar un lugar como Shorty's BBQ es una experiencia multisensorial que comienza mucho antes de que el plato llegue a la mesa. Al acercarse a la dirección 11575 Southwest 40th Street, el aire se impregna con el inconfundible aroma a madera ahumada y carne cocinándose lentamente, una fragancia que es, en sí misma, una promesa de lo que está por venir. Estos aromas son una invitación a un ambiente que, típicamente en los establecimientos de BBQ más auténticos, es relajado, sin pretensiones y enfocado en la buena comida y la compañía.
El interior de un restaurante de BBQ tradicional a menudo refleja su historia y su enfoque en la sustancia sobre el estilo. Es común encontrar una decoración rústica, mesas de madera y un ambiente bullicioso lleno de conversaciones y risas. La atención se centra en la comida, servida generosamente y sin adornos innecesarios. En Shorty's, uno puede esperar ser recibido con esa calidez y familiaridad que caracteriza a los lugares que han servido a una comunidad por décadas.
El menú, aunque no podemos detallar los platos específicos sin información directa, suele girar en torno a los clásicos del BBQ. Esto incluye, casi con certeza, costillas de cerdo (ribs), que pueden ser baby back o spare ribs, cocinadas hasta que la carne se desprende del hueso con facilidad. El cerdo desmenuzado (pulled pork), tierno y jugoso, es otro pilar, ideal para sándwiches o para disfrutar solo. El brisket de res, cocinado a la perfección, revela capas de sabor y una textura que se deshace en la boca. Y, por supuesto, el pollo ahumado, con su piel crujiente y su carne suculenta.
Pero el BBQ no estaría completo sin sus acompañamientos. Los "sides" son tan importantes como la carne y, en un lugar como Shorty's, se esperaría una selección clásica y reconfortante. Esto podría incluir:
Las salsas son otro elemento crucial en la experiencia del BBQ. Aunque la carne ahumada de calidad a menudo se disfruta mejor con poca o ninguna salsa para apreciar su sabor natural, una buena variedad de salsas caseras es un sello distintivo. Estas pueden variar desde dulces y melosas hasta picantes y ácidas, permitiendo a cada comensal personalizar su plato.
Shorty's BBQ se encuentra en 11575 Southwest 40th Street, una dirección que lo sitúa en una de las arterias principales de Miami-Dade, conocida popularmente como Bird Road. Esta zona es característica del Miami suburbano, una mezcla vibrante de áreas residenciales consolidadas y extensas franjas comerciales. La ubicación en Bird Road es estratégica, ya que es una vía de alto tráfico que conecta varias comunidades y ofrece fácil acceso a una amplia gama de servicios y negocios.
La geografía alrededor de Southwest 40th Street se caracteriza por ser predominantemente plana, con una infraestructura bien desarrollada que incluye centros comerciales, plazas minoristas, oficinas y una gran cantidad de restaurantes que atienden a la diversa población local. La presencia de un establecimiento como Shorty's BBQ en esta zona habla de su capacidad para atraer tanto a residentes de larga data como a aquellos que transitan por la vía.
Desde el punto de vista práctico para los visitantes, la ubicación ofrece varias ventajas:
La zona no es solo un corredor comercial; es un reflejo del estilo de vida de los residentes de Miami-Dade. Aquí, uno puede encontrar desde pequeñas tiendas independientes hasta grandes cadenas minoristas, escuelas, parques y centros de servicios. Esto significa que una visita a Shorty's BBQ puede combinarse fácilmente con otras actividades, como compras, diligencias o una tarde en un parque cercano. La vibrante mezcla de culturas que define a Miami se siente incluso en estas zonas más residenciales, donde la gastronomía es un punto de encuentro y celebración.
La importancia de restaurantes como Shorty's BBQ en el tejido de una ciudad va más allá de la calidad de sus platos. Son instituciones que ofrecen una sensación de continuidad y familiaridad en un paisaje urbano en constante cambio. En una ciudad como Miami, que se reinventa continuamente, la permanencia de un lugar que ha resistido la prueba del tiempo es un testamento a su autenticidad y a su capacidad para conectar con la gente.
Un establecimiento de BBQ de larga data suele ser un refugio para los locales, un lugar donde las generaciones han compartido comidas y creado recuerdos. Es el tipo de restaurante donde los niños que crecieron yendo con sus padres, ahora llevan a sus propios hijos. Esta transmisión de la experiencia de generación en generación es lo que confiere a estos lugares su verdadero valor cultural. Se convierten en parte de la identidad local, un punto de referencia y un sabor que evoca nostalgia.
Además, los restaurantes de BBQ a menudo encarnan un espíritu de sencillez y honestidad. No se trata de alta cocina o de presentaciones elaboradas, sino de ingredientes de calidad, técnicas probadas y un enfoque en el sabor genuino. Esta filosofía resuena con muchos comensales que buscan una experiencia culinaria auténtica y sin pretensiones.
Para aquellos que planean una visita a Shorty's BBQ, algunas consideraciones prácticas pueden mejorar la experiencia:
En resumen, Shorty's BBQ en 11575 Southwest 40th Street es más que un simple restaurante de carne. Es una institución de Miami que ofrece una inmersión en la rica tradición del BBQ sureño. Con su ubicación accesible en Bird Road, su enfoque en la cocción lenta y ahumada, y su probable ambiente acogedor, representa un destino esencial para cualquiera que busque saborear el auténtico espíritu culinario de la ciudad. Es un lugar donde el legado del sabor se celebra en cada plato, invitando a locales y visitantes a compartir una experiencia gastronómica que es verdaderamente clásica de Miami.
Miami es una metrópolis de contrastes, donde el brillo de South Beach se encuentra con la tranquilidad de sus barrios residenciales.
