Amazing food and hospitality. Definitely will be back love the addition to the restaurant

Have heard about this spot for a while because of their famous burger, so I finally stopped by. Cool concept since it's also a butcher shop if you need meats to take home. As for the burger, it definitely hit the spot. A classic smash burger with cheese and pickles done right. The guy at the counter was also very friendly, which made the visit even better. read more

Babe's Meat & Counter never misses That cheeseburger... perfectly melted American cheese on the softest bun. So delicious read more

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! read more

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. read more

Hello Bahn mi. Don't ever take that off the menu. Best sandwich in Miami. There is nothing better.

They have the best burgers. Just a classic delicious burger. Quality beef and cooked just right and slightly smashed. I love that there is lots of options including delicious croquetas. Also had the Cuban sandwich and it was fantastic not quite classic but this version is great. You can also get some staple items here like rubs, bread, cheese, eggs, butter, etc. and if course Meats! Service is great and friendly and although small there is a standing counter and a couple of tables outside. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

Finally got to try this spot... Jesus why did I take so long?!!! Burger is possibly the best burger I've had in this city. The hotdog, out of this world! Not much space to sit and eat... but that's ok. Food is that good it doesn't matter. You guys keep doing what you're doing. Need to return to try other items. Def my new go to spot when craving a burger or hotdog. read more

Our first time trying this place.... We ordered a smash burger and a Cuban sandwich..... both delicious! Service was nice! We shall return soon to try more options! read more

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 read more

I think this might be one of the best burgers in Miami. Although it's a simple burger, the meat taste fresh and cooked to perfection, the bun is perfectly soft but not soggy. If you want the perfect classic American burger this is the place I would recommend. The employees/ owners are also super kind and sweet. There is little seating and I will say the price is a bit high but you get what you pay for because the quality is AMAZING. read more

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. read more

Perfect presentation to a new business that will surely grow. Quality of meats and price unrivaled by competitors which do not abound in this area. I had a small lunch: a BLT very well prepared which I consumed at home. The bacon was special. It's the pleasant service and the butcher shop that are the trump card A great find. read more

My fav local place to get high quality meat when I indulge. Don't let the strip mall of business fool you- this is a local Palmetto Bay gem that has a lot of regulars, including me. It's a quaint small storefront with only a couple of outside tables and a standing bar to eat in, but they are expanding!!! I had a BLT this weekend that was made with thick cut bacon. Delicious. While I waited the few minutes for my sandwich, I ordered their last hand pattied burger in the case since it was almost closing time. Service is always friendly and quick. read more

All the food that we ordered was very good and fresh. The taste was outstanding. However, it's very pricey and I believe it's overpriced for the area it's located. read more

I absolutely love this place, it's got a small town vibe to the inside and the employees reflect that. A warm greeting from everyone in the place as you walk in and a pleasant conversation from the cashier is always a sure bet. They've got 2 tables outside that sit 2 people each and a standing bar inside that can fit 8-10 people. If you don't know what to get, the cashier will offer great advice and steer you in the right direction. I ordered the bacon croquettas for the first time today, I was pleasantly surprised with the pork rinds that came with it. The croquettas themselves were average at best, still worth trying it yourself, but the pork rinds were next level. Babe's burger is my second favorite burger in Miami. It never fails to satisfy from the potato bun to the perfectly crispy edges for their spin on a smash burger. It's simple. It doesn't have all the frills and fluff that some of these other places offer but it doesn't need it! Sometimes less is more and Babe's understands that. The Kimchi Hot Dog was also incredible. Kimchi is very similar to sauerkraut so it adds a nice crunch and mildly acidic flavor to the beef. Babe's Burger - 9.6/10 Kimchi HotDog - 8.3/10 Pork Rinds - 8.3/10 Croquettas - 6.3/10 Fries - 6/10 read more

Best Burger I have Ever Had. Service was Extraordinary ( Had a stiff neck with horrible pain was even given ibuprofen for the pain). Absolutely Amazing place and even better food read more

I haven't been here in years but glad to say the quality has remained the same- top notch. My husband and I stopped in for breakfast. He had never been here so I wanted to make sure he sampled what they are famous for- the Montreal smoked meat sandwich. I had a blt as that is one of my fav sandwiches. We also ordered the bacon croquetas. This is counter service and when we came in, we were attended to quickly. They brought the food out to us once ready to the standing counter. My husband loved how tender the meat was and the yummy flavor. My blt was yummy- I live the bread and the crispness of the bacon. They did not disappoint! read more

When in a butcher shop, get the beef? Oh, yeah, that's the ticket here at Babe's. I've had the burger before, but this time I came for the Cheesesteak sandwich and there's a secret ingredient inside that makes all the difference (see my picture for the answer). The steak is perfectly cooked and not dry at all. In fact, terrifically juicy for chopped up steak. The caramelized onions are also excellent. The Cheese steak sandwich is about an 8" sandwich. I also got the bacon croquettes and they were good, but you're eating a deep friend ball full of bacon bits. Just now that's what you're signing up for and you won't be sorry. I loved them. You've got me, Babe. read more

Came recommended by the girl at Tires Plus. I had already eaten lunch so I got a brown butter butterscotch oatmeal coconut cookie and iced tea. Staff was friendly and gave me a run through their meats and popular items. The cookie is worth coming back for and next time I'll dine in. read more

A landmark butcher shop in Miami that has been low key selling awesome sandwiches for years. The cuban and duck banh mi had been favorites of mine for years but their burger beats it. It's a simple delicious cheeseburger. Meat is extremely flavorful. Bun is simple, soft and perfect. Doesn't get soggy. They cover it with some solid yellow cheese and great pickles - but not too many - just the right amount. And there's a good sauce but again, just the right amount. read more

I went here because of the good reviews. Ive seen this place on instagram and heard good things. Unfortunately, I think its more hype than anything. Rude service. Order was wrong. Items were missing. Overpriced and over hyped. We got the burger w bacon, bacon bahn mi, and poutine. The burger and poutine was just ok. The pork bacon bahn mi had 3 slices of bacon in it. I thought it would be thick cut slices of pork but it was 3 regular slices of bacon. To me, it's just another hipster burger place/restaurant. Will not return or recommend. read more

We went to Babe's because we were in the area. There are 2 tables of 2 to sit at outside, and there is no seating inside, although it looks like they are expanding and will soon have a restaurant. My husband and I both ordered the cheesesteak after reading the reviews. It was good. The meat had good flavor, but we both wished the subs had more meat for a better meat:bread ratio. My daughters had a hot dog and hamburger which they both destroyed lol. We also had the chorizo cheese fries which were very good! The service was friendly and we only waited 20 minutes for our food. I would go back and give them another try. 3.5 stars. read more

I would go 2.5 stars here. Just on the burger alone I would go 3.5 stars. The server and/or owner of the place was quite rude so thats why I dont like these services where you tip in advance. I asked her does it usually take this long to get a burger for lunch. Over 30 minutes and only person here besides takeout order. The burger itself not worth drive out to Palmetto Bay and dont expect friendly service read more

Great place! We got the Cuban sandwich, classic burger, and Jamaican patty! Everything was so good and fresh, I would highly recommend it.

Also get a chocolate chip cookie on the way out! It's delicious! read more
