“Our waiter was super friendly — really explained the menu well and made excellent recommendations. The BBQ tacos and ribs were very delicious and the star of the show was the cornbread churros! The food pics from the Humo Miami pop-up at Apocalypse BBQ speak for themselves.”

“Service was fantastic from the minute you walk in — staff are welcoming, attentive and knowledgeable. The ribs were very good, the loaded mac & cheese was exceptional, and the coleslaw was great. Glad to see another wonderful BBQ option in the 305. Look forward to coming back and trying more off their menu.”

“The BBQ plates were loaded and flavorful — tender ribs, juicy brisket, and rich sauces that hit every note. The mac and cheese was creamy, the elote was a standout, and the cocktails were smooth. Generous portions, great variety. Every time I come to Miami, I definitely make sure to stop here.”

“We came in from Nebraska and chose to have our Valentine's dinner here — best decision. Our server was very helpful and checked in often. The pork empanada appetizer was amazing. It was a great meal with lots of flavor, great service, and wonderful ambiance. Even with the 1-hour 30-minute wait it was absolutely worth it.”
