Legit sooo so good. The burger and the Philly here are insane. Don't get me started on the beef tallow fries. Super awesome decor and cute little store inside as well. Need to come back for some raw meat to smoke. Cool cheeses and local eggs for sale too. Great place love to see it!
I had the burger which I heard they are known for, it was good but there are many burgers like this in Miami so I would not say it's the best. The fries really threw me off because they were those frozen fries that have a little light batter on them. I thought a place like this would just serve something better. They seemed to have a great meat selection in the butcher area, I would probably try.
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.
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.

Food, service and ambiance is 10/10! My husband and I loveee burgers and we love to go around town tasting good burger spots and we can say this burger spot is legit delicious! It's in our top 3 burger spots, hands down. We came to eat today to try out this place for my first time as he has been here before. As soon as I finished my burger, I told my husband I'm writing a review for this amazing place immediately! We've gone to other burger spots in Miami and I was skeptical of all the hype since other places get hyped as well but has let us down. BURGER - single smash patty (my husband had the double patty), cheese, pickles, and sriracha mayo, we added bacon. Usually I like my burger with all the fixins instead of simple, but I gave it a chance anyway and I'm so glad I did! Delicious is an understatement. The burger tasted like perfection - well seasoned and juicy. We were content and satisfied once we finished the burger. FRIES - perfect, fresh, crispy, hot fries with cheese on the side. Fries were delicious at every bite. Cheese tasted good as well. Other places have greasy fries that have a taste of the oil they use, but this place did not! Fries were PERFECT. SERVICE - Everyone was welcoming, helpful and friendly. We had a positive experience and had great service from the cashier on the inside seating area. I love the fact that they served us on REAL plates. It gave us a warm, personalized welcoming feel and almost like if it was home made. This place also sells fresh meat, pasta, sourdough bread and other items. Everything look clean, organized and well kept in cool temperatures. I definitely recommend this place and my husband and I will be back for more! 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

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

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 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

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
