    Tripping Animals

    I cannot speak highly enough about this place!!!! So being from LA and moving to Miami, we were really missing our local butcher shop (Butcher and Booze in Glendale). A friend from here recommended I try this location out and although it's not exactly the same, the menu items are SO delicious. Not only that the staff is super helpful and informative (glad you guys went to the Dolphins game because we finally took a W). I always get the French onion soup burger. You'd think it's sloppy and wet but THIS burger.... They almost make sure that the buns aren't soggy. That cheese is unreal, the meat is phenomenal. I really could go on and on about this place. We also love getting the chicharron and the wings aren't bad either. DO NOT forget to check out the fridge. It sets the vibe in there. They have Tripping Animals and other few local spotted breweries in their fridge as well as truffle butter, beef tallow, chimichurri and other fun items to cook with. Really don't sleep on this place. I can't wait to be back!

    It's a three star place. But I like them. So I give four for that. Burger is good. I think it's a smash style. So medium well is the norm. But it's not moist. Needs more grease. Fries were ok. Probably out of a bag. Second sandwich we ordered was the cheese steak. It was ok. Bread was eh. Steak was good. Two tables out front to sit. And a Stand up bar with no chairs. They said they are expanding. So maybe they will have more seating. The fresh meat looked great. Next time I'll purchase a few steaks to make at home.

    Such a nice deli and the service was lovely! I heard such good things about their cheeseburger so i had to get one! We also had the montreal smoked meat sandwich. The cheeseburger meat had amazing flavor and they used the perfect cheese to melt on top! I loved the soft and fluffy buttery potato bun and the pickles were amazing. I had a tangerine kombucha to wash it down. The montreal smoked meat had delicious flavor, but we wished the slices of meat were thicker. I also had their brown butter cookie. the dough is pretty good, but I think it needed chocolate chips maybe. I ordered 4 italian sausages from their deli and used it in my schiacciata, it was a wonderful and flavorful addition!

    It was a Saturday afternoon, and after a long morning of shopping and feeling seriously hungry, I remembered seeing an ad online about a new place in the Palmetto Bay area that mentioned fried apple pies. Fried apple pies! I haven't had one in years, so that was enough to get me in the car and on the way. The spot is called Babes Meet & Counter, and it's tucked into a small shopping center just off South Dixie Highway (US1). When I pulled up, I noticed a couple of tables out front and quickly realized it's more of a takeout-style place. We stepped inside and were greeted by a gentleman behind the counter who welcomed us right away and explained the concept. It's part meat market, part short-order kitchen, so in addition to being a counter meat market and able to pick up quality cuts of meat, you can also grab a bite to eat from a simple, focused menu that includes burgers, sandwiches, and a few other dishes. I ordered the Babes Smash Cheeseburger, added an extra patty for good measure, and it did not disappoint. The meat was top-notch, full of flavor, and cooked perfectly. Erika had the Cuban sandwich, and we shared a side of cheese fries and everything was fresh, well-prepared, and delicious. I was really looking forward to trying one of their fried apple pies, but they had already sold out earlier that morning. No big deal--we'll just make sure to get there earlier next time. While we were eating, the owner Joanne arrived and immediately started chatting with customers, making her presence felt in the best way. We didn't get a chance to talk to her directly, but you could tell she's hands-on and proud of what she's built here. Joanne also owns Babes Meat & Counter in Pinecrest, which already has a strong reputation for quality meats and great food. With this new Palmetto Bay location, she's brought that same passion and quality to a more casual, grab-and-go setting. The place was clean, the staff was friendly, and there was a steady flow of customers, which is always a good sign. I'm already looking forward to going back, not just for the food, but to finally get my hands on that fried apple pie. Highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for great meat, great food, and a genuinely welcoming local business.

    Not often does one bite immediately release endorphins all throughout your body and leave you in a euphoric state. But this was exactly how I felt after taking one bite of Babe's Burger. Located in Palmetto Bay, Babe's Meat & Counter restaurant is both restaurant and a butcher shop. I went on a Saturday morning and parking was easy and ample. As we headed over there I already scoped the menu and knew what I wanted to try. My wife asked me, "isn't it too early for a burger?" of which it was an easy no. When you first walk in you are welcomed by a beautiful selection of meats from Ribeye to Wagyu. It's a quick reminder this aint Vegan country. Staff was quick to answer any questions and give us their suggestions but nothing was swaying me from what I was looking for. We ordered the Poutine Fries, the Ham and Bacon Croquettes, Hash Browns with Bacon and of course Babe's Burger. I had heard the owner was Canadian, so I knew the Poutine Fries were going to be legit. And they did not disappoint. The homemade gravy was spot on and the cheddar cheese curds were soft and gooey. The Ham and Bacon Croquettas come one per order along with chicharrones. I ended up ordering more because they were so delicious. Perfect balance of creamy inside and crunchy exterior. They say bacon makes everything better and this is no exception. My wife also loved her Hash Browns. But let's get to the star of the show here, Babe's Burger. Perfection is sometimes found in it's simplicity. No gimmicks. Just quality. The bun, soft and buttery. The pickles, looked and tasted homemade. The cheese, classic American. The burger patty as expected from a butcher shop, perfection. And the only condiment added was a mayo and sriracha mix. No lettuce. No tomatoes. Just a simple burger and in there lies the magic. Simple ingredients. Executed to perfection. It goes without saying the burger was amazing. I walked out and all I could think about was that burger. Upon my return I will try other things but that burger will be on my list everytime. Kudos to Babe's Meat & Counter. You knocked it out of the park by a mile. An absolute must try whether in the area or not. Definitely worth it!

    Where do I even start... We recently saw this restaurant on Instagram posted by a local food critic. It's a bit out of the way from home, but the food looked so good online that we decided to make the drive and give it a try. This is the first Sunday that they've been open, and we stopped in on our way back from church. I am so absolutely glad we did. Parking here in the strip mall was great. There are some really cozy tables out in front of the restaurant, and a stand-up counter inside. We sat outside as it just happens to be a beautiful day. We started off with an order of the pork rinds, which are absolutely fire. They are fried perfect and seasoned perfect. Just an awesome, light snack, and a great way to start the meal. On to the food. My son had the Reuben, which was made with peppered pastrami and was absolutely on point. My other son and I each had a cheeseburger. He had regular mayonnaise, and I had the chipotle mayo. Both were cooked to perfection and hit the spot. To top it off we shared an order of cheese fries, and the cheese sauce is on another level. We ended with a chocolate chip cookie that really has no equal as far as I'm concerned. What a perfect cookie. The service was exceptional, the food was amazing. Overall, a five star experience and five star food. A+++++ across the board.

    This was my second visit to Babes Meat & Counter, and it somehow topped the first. The first time I came, I tried the burger -- and it was excellent. Perfectly cooked, juicy, and full of flavor, definitely one of the better burgers I've had in Miami. But on my second visit, I went with the Reuben, and honestly... it blew me away. The corned beef was tender and flavorful, the bread was perfectly toasted, and the balance of tangy sauerkraut and melty cheese made every bite better than the last. You can tell the ingredients are high-quality and made with care. Highly recommend this spot -- whether it's your first visit or your fifth. Everything I've tried so far has been a hit, and I'm already looking forward to coming back to try more. Babes is definitely a hidden gem worth checking out.

    The service here wasn't bad. They were very good at introducing promotions and answering questions. The Ambiance gives that of a fast food grab and go place with an home style dinner touch. The burger was exceptional . Overall not a bad place to eat

    The spot is definitely an If you know, you know type of place. Very friendly, very clean, and very efficient. I got the Babe Burger, classic to get a baseline and it was pretty good! The patty is not overly greasy, and it was pretty filling. I got the poutine to go along side and that was also very good. Over all I would say it's a step above the average burger, and a great hidden gem.

    We keep it off and on, but can usually receive following day if ordered.

    Do you guys sell Beef Ribs? The fat ones?

    Yes, we can bring in both beef short rib plates (meat on top of bone) cut to whatever spec you prefer or left whole in a 3 bone plate. We can bring in the less popular beef back ribs (meat in between bones) as well.

    Has anyone tried their beef hotdog before?

    Ohhhh, yeah!!😋😋😋

    I've been to The Daily Creative Food quite a few times. The food was always good. The portion sizes…read moreare huge so usually it can be shared by multiple people no matter what you order on the menu. The menu consists of breakfast, sandwiches, soups and salads. The drinks are good too especially the refreshers and lemonades! They're always so fresh tasting! The service is always good. The employees are always so polite. Plenty of seating inside but always usually busy. Everything is clean for the most part tables are constantly being cleared for new customers.

    I love The Daily! I used to come here often when I lived in Miami and the food was always great…read more The location is nice and street parking is easy to find. It's a casual spot that's great for whatever occasion and where I usually recommend to others. Brunch with friends? Hinge date? Visiting from out of town? After church/temple/jum'ah meetup? Try The Daily. Hungover? Try The Daily and stay hydrated. Last time I was there I had the Tofu Scramble, which is packed with protein, veggies, fiber and great flavor. The tofu was cubed and sautéed with beans, mushrooms, and other ingredients. It was also served with a nice portion of arugula salad and toast. I like that they have good Vegan and Vegetarian options, even if there are only a few. The coffee is really good as well! I had an iced oatmilk latte and enjoyed it, they have a good selection of espresso beverages.
