Went to Bar-B-Que Beach Bar & Restaurant yesterday using a discount coupon from Restaurant.com and was truly happy with our experience there. From the outside it looks like any other restaurant but when you step inside you feel like you are in the tropics. Beautiful theme restaurant. There are vines traversing all over the ceiling and walls with a life-like tree in the center of the restaurant. Some tables have a Tiki umbrella. A mural of a hurricane is painted on the ceiling in part of the restaurant. Several big screen TV's cover the large restaurant. The bathrooms are also in theme too. Feels like you are in the tropics in the restroom's. The food was fabulous. We ordered the boneless chicken with hot sauce. They give you 6 large boneless chicken pieces; dipped in a crisp batter with hot sauce and blue cheese and celery and carrot sticks. Great appetizer for two people. We also ordered the potato skins with bacon and pulled pork in each potato skin. Six pieces were given and we had enough to take home. The main course was a full rack of BBQ ribs without sauce. They give you on the table six squeeze bottles of different choice sauces ie....maple, sweet, and hot. The main course comes with 2 sides. We ordered the sweet potato mash with banana. Nice size portion for two people. Great taste with a lot of flavor. Also we ordered the spicy coleslaw; a great compliment with the meal. The drinks were served in large BALL jars. The service was great; friendly and helpful. Definitely a secret find in Miami Beach and reasonably priced. Great specials during the week. Plan on returning real soon!!!!

Hunks of meat wood-smoked slowly at low temperatures, so the fatty juiciness doesn't cook out, with enough natural smoky flavor cooked in that sauces are an enjoyable extra rather than a necessity: that's real barbecue. And that's hard to find in Miami, though our town is geographically about as Deep South as you can get. Though it seems especially unlikely that you'd find honest 'cue in South Beach, this joint has it. The brisket ($13) would be a contender even in Texas (where barbecue means beef), its flavorfully fatty succulence sinful enough to convert even hard-core pork fans. As for the latter, pulled pork won't have North Carolinians ready to surrender the crown, but it'll satisfy their homesick blues. Elephantine spare ribs, available either wet (sauce-basted) or dry-rubbed, are not the falling-off-the-bone kind — which are generally par-boiled flavorless to reach that state — but are boldly meaty specimens that are tender yet chewy enough to be interesting. Even the whole barbecue chickens are beautifully moist — and bargain-priced ($8.95). All platters come with two sides; choose creamy slaw and nut-studded sweet potato/banana mash, and throw in an à la carte order of deep-fried dill pickles, for a down-home meal that'll thrill all but your cardiologist.
